Chapter 787: Origin of the noises

Chapter 787 - Origin of the noises

Approaching the front door to their home, Yue Ling held a frowning expression. She looks around their front courtyard as the sound of construction she heard in her sleep was still ongoing. However, no matter where she looked, she couldn't see anything out of place or work on.

"What's wrong?"

From the side of her, Lu Tian asks when he saw his wife looking around. He also heard the sound of construction work, but he pays no mind to it.

Yue Ling's frown remained in place. She glances around again but seeing nothing again, she shakes her head.

"It's nothing. I was just thinking our neighbors might be renovation their house or building something."

Her words fell, and her frown disappears, but she tilts her head like she was pondering her thoughts.

"But it's strange now that I think about it."

She leans closer to Lu Tian like she would tell him a secret and did want anyone to hear.

"Ever since we moved here, I've never seen any houses or cars other than ours."

Lu Tian laughs at how attentive she had been with her surroundings. He doesn't stop to look around with her but continues to the front door.

"That's because the closest house to us is 5 kilometers from where we came from."

His words fell like thunder striking Yue Ling, and her eyes widen. She looks at him with revelation. It was no wonder she never saw anyone when she leaves the house.

Their house is on a small hill. When entering from the main road they live on, the end of it is the gate to their home. She knew their house was at the end, but with the many trees on either side of the road, she thought her neighbor's house was probably hidden away.

As she thought this, a thought came to mind, and she stares at Lu Tian in an utterance.

Does this mean he can kill her, and no one will hear her scream for help?

Lu Tian was just about to unlock the front door when he, by chance, glanced at his wife. When he saw how she was staring at him, he laughs as her expression said it all.

He unlocked the door and held the door open for her like a gentleman.

"I think it is your beauty that will kill me first."

Yue Ling was rendered speechless by his ability to mind read. She lets go of his hand and raises both arms to cover her chest with palms touch her cheeks.

"If my beauty can kill, you would have been dead already."

She walks over to the coat closet. Removes her coat and shoes but frowns over something that had been bothering her.

"Who is making such a ruckus?"

For some unknown reason, the sound of construction never ceased, but now that she is inside the house, the sound seems to be even louder. It was like the noise is coming directly from inside their home.

She quickly puts on her house slippers and walks further inside the house with eyes scanning everywhere. When she suddenly saw something that was out of place, she hurriedly strides closer.

"Tian… Our living room… what happened to our living room?"

Her eyes shook, and she stops in the center of the living room. All their furniture had disappeared. However, what shocked her the most was the huge window that gave a view of the back courtyard.

It disappeared with the wall.

She stares with wide, unblinking eyes outside, and when she saw the new scene in front of her, her mouth slowly open agape.

The construction sound she had been hearing was coming from their back courtyard. People were walking back and forth, carrying heavy loads, while some take the wheel of construction vehicles.

Even she can't help but wonder how the back courtyard was big enough to accommodate this many people and vehicles.

If not for this, she would have thought their house had been robbed or a tornado flew through their home.

Lost in her daze by the situation happening in front of her, seconds turned to minutes. Returning to her senses, she turns her head to the side to look at Lu Tian.

However, met with the man's calm demeanor, she was rendered speechless.

"D-Did you know about this? Is this something you had planned?"

Lu Tian stood not too far from the living room. He stares at her with a soft expression that showed all the love he has for her.

When he heard her questions, he felt satisfied with himself and nods his head in answer.

He had wanted to do this since he can't be home all the time with his wife and Inu, but he never got around to it because of his work schedule.

However, due to his wife's encounter with Tao Meng, he gathered his team and made few house arrangements.

He needed to make sure that his wife and Inu will feel safe in the house when he leaves for business meetings.

"I see… So this is the origin of the noises."

Yue Ling mutters like she was talking to herself. Now she understands why Lu Tian didn't have the same reaction as her. He already knew and was the mastermind behind this unrest.

She looks away from the aloof man and stares back at the scene outside. Catching a glimpse of something, she presses her lips tightly together and tries not to laugh or smile.

Without shifting her gaze away, she raises a hand and points to the commotion outside.

"What about that? Did you also know about that?"

Lu Tian was feeling relatively high and mighty about his plan. From his wife's expression and words, it did take her by surprise, but she seems to be taking it in quite well.

He had kept it confidential from her as this matter was the cause for the phone call he made in the car and the call he had received while waiting.

He ordered his men to come to their house to proceed with the changes by increasing security.

With this in the process, he doesn't want his wife and Inu to experience the same incident at Jade Condos when Chu Li Xiang sent his men.

Thinking to himself, he walks over to join his wife when he heard her question.

"Yes, everything you see happening out there is part of my plan."

"I see…"

Yue Ling nods her head like she understood his words. She crosses her arms over her chest and slightly pouts.

"But aren't they cold?"

Coming to a stop by her side, Lu Tian places his hands behind his back then turns to face the same view his wife was looking at.

He smiles confidently and glances at the scene before closing his eyes with his chin slightly raised.

"It is indeed cold since Winter is upon us, but with the task they are to fulfill, it is only natural for one to take their shirts odd to cool down their sweaty bodies…"

He spoke like a proud master, full of confidence towards his hardworking men. However, his spoken words struck him hard in the brain, and his eyes shot open.

He stares with a dumbstruck expression at the scene before reacting by cover his wife's eyes with one hand, and his other hand wraps around her.

"Don't look! It'll scar you for life."

Pulling her close to his chest, he made sure that she couldn't see anything.

His stare turns into a burning glare, and his eyes turned bloodshot at the scene his wife had seen.

The sound of construction work continues to echo into the setting sky. The people outside, unaware of Yue Ling and Lu Tian's arrival, continue their assigned tasks.

Their muscular body moved to and from without any shirt on. Each person would take a pause in their steps to allow the cool breeze to brush against their bare skin.

This scene was like a woman's fantasy. To witness strong men working extra hard with their bodies covered in sweat. Sweat that made them glow like honey was poured over them.

Lu Tian's face scrunch at the scene like it was the filthiest thing he was seeing. He held his wife tighter in his arms, and his lip tremble as the taste of vinegar filled his mouth.

She saw everything…

No, she saw another man's bare chest other than him...
