Chapter 829: A guest

Chapter 829 - A guest

The entire house was engulfed in silence the moment Lu Tian entered the room. No one dares to utter a word, let alone breathe.

Unlike everyone, Yue Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Lu Tian's behavior. He reminded her of a gangster boss questioning his wife on the pet she picked up for some odd reason.

She quickly brushes the thought away and smiles with her teeth at him.

"This is Liu Ye. He is a guest in our home."

Lu Tian remained unfazed and nodded his head in greeting at Liu Ye, but he didn't forget to glance at Jiangyu, Yiqing, and Xu Long. His silent contact with the eyes was enough to send a chill to the three men and everyone who saw.

His men didn't hesitate to look away as they knew there would be many questions need to answer later.

He looks back at his wife again, and he gives her a soft smile. It was as if the expression on his face never changed.

"He's a guest if my wife says so."

His words fell in a calm tone as he raises his hand closest to his wife. His movement was like he was putting his arm on her back of her chair.

However, instead of doing so, his hand stretches past her back and takes hold of her wrist.

He moves Yue Ling's hand that was still on Liu Ye's head with little force. His other hand also reaches towards her and helps put her hand on her lap before holding it in place.

"We've been separated for too long. I want to hold your hand."

"..."

Yue Ling and everyone in the house stared at Lu Tian with heavy eyelids.

His words sounded natural, like a husband caring for his wife. However, his actions were that of a jealous man annoyed that his woman is touching another person.

Yue Ling shakes her head with a long sigh but doesn't say anything. They were away from each other for a little more than thirty minutes. Not only that, they were in the same house.

How can he say they have were separated for too long?

However, knowing that he is obviously eating vinegar, she decides it was best not to add oil to the fuel.

Although Lu Tian was aware of how everyone was looking at him, he didn't care about it. He calmly stands up from his seat and places a kiss on his wife's forehead as he is aware his wife doesn't like the attention.

"I'll go see if there's enough food for everyone."

He walks away, leaving everyone dumbstruck ed by his sudden shameless nesses, including his wife.

Liu Shan stood in the distance with his mouth hung open as he didn't know what to think. He was worried about Yue Ling and Lu Tian's reaction towards Liu Ye being in their home.

However, it seems like he was overthinking the situation.

He remembers something and looks at Xu Long, who stood next to him. He pats the man on the shoulder and heaves a sigh with his head slowly shaking.

"I survived my boss all on my own. Now, it's your turn to survive, your boss."

Xu Long doesn't look at Liu Shan but stares with wide eyes in the direction his boss had gone. After what felt like an entire day had gone by, his head slowly turns to look at the assistant.

"Your..."

His lower lip gradually trembles like he was on the verge of crying.

"Your mother... Can you ask her to help me?"

Liu Shan kept a straight face but inside, he was beyond dumbfounded than he already is. Others may think Xu Long was going mad with his unexpected question, but he (Liu Shan) knew better than anyone.

He raises his hand and touches his chin as his lips pursed like he was thinking.

"My mother?"

His shoulders quiver and he scoffs a light chuckle before looking at the dining table.

He doesn't make eye contact and turns his head back to Xu long.

"I can see why you want "my mother's" help. She is a very preeminent woman."

He emphasized the words, 'my mother,' as he confidently spoke like he was considering helping Xu Long. However, in the next moment, he shrugs one shoulder and nonchalantly walks away.

"But you're on your own on this one."

He would have helped since he thought they were close but remembering what happened in the room earlier, he thought wrong.

Apparently, they weren't close enough since Xu Long ignored his cry for help when it came to his (Liu Shan) survival against 'his mother,' also known as his boss.

As Liu Shan walks away, Xu Long's flabbergasted face followed the man.

His (Xu long) eyes then land on Lin Hui, and they make eye contact.

A bright light flashes in his eyes, and he grins mischievously.

However, quickly as that light came, it was put out at the same speed.

Lin Hui acted like he never saw Xu Long and scurries away in the direction Liu Shan had gone. As he did this, he didn't forget to pull Qi Li along with him.

Xu Long: "..."

Xu Long was left alone in a dumbfounded state with his shoulders slumped downwards, and he looks at the other two people mentioned along with him.

Seeing how Jiangyu and Yiqing were oblivious to the misfortune that was going to befall them, he could only sob on the inside.

"That's it... We're dead. We're really going to die. Die, I tell you."

If he knew he would end up in this situation and receive Lu Tian's wrath, he wouldn't have taken part in Liu Shan's idea of bringing Liu Ye here.

Now, he can only pray that his boss shows them the same mercy as his lady boss.

While Xu Long thinks about explaining the situation to Lu Tian, everyone else continues with what they were doing.

Yue Ling stood up from her seat after confirming that Liu Ye had calmed down. She decided to use this opportunity to find Liu Shan and the others. She wanted to hear a better understanding of Liu Ye's situation, along with the details regarding Red Moon.

She turns her head slightly to look at the young man as a soft smile curls on her face as her lips part.

"I hope you enjoy the food. You are more than welcome to grab another plate."

"Thank you."

Liu Ye quickly thanked Yue Ling when he saw that she was leaving. He looks down at his plate of food and picks up his chopsticks to continue eating.

As a guest here, he shouldn't waste food and be grateful that he can eat.

However, inside, his mind was pondering about everything that happened.

He has indeed calmed down from Yue Ling's motherly touch and words, but the reason was because of Lu Tian. Before, he thought Jiangyu was the scariest person present, but he undoubtedly wrong.

It was actually Lu Tian.

The aloof man didn't say much, and he was well composed. However, anyone can feel the pure air of coldness and jealously that protrude from him (Lu Tian).

It was as if a blizzard suddenly engulfed the entire house.

Across the table, Yiqing notices Liu Ye was instead eating quicker than before. He chuckles and pours a cup of tea set on the table for the boy.

"With that kind of speed, you're going to choke on your food."

His arm stretches forward, and he passes the cup of tea to Liu Ye.

"No one is going to steal from you here."

The second his last word fell, Jiangyu didn't hesitate to chime in with a huge grin.

"That's right. You're in good hands now. No one can force you to do anything you don't want or take anything from you."

He pats his chest like a strong and righteous man.

"If someone like the people of Red Moon gives you a hard time, just tell me. I'll give them a good beating for you."
