Unexpected Second Chance at Love 236 Private property

Yue Ling question in curiosity. She stare with wondering eyes out the passenger window at the greenery of open field on each side of the road.

"To see a place..."

From the driver seat, Lu Tian answers while continuing to look in front of the road. He spoke as if they were just out on a stroll in the park without a care in the world.

"....."

Yue Ling's eyelids turned heavy hearing his words of indifferent. So much an exact answer. Shaking her head, she looks at the front interior of the car then turn back to look out the window.

When they left Jade Condos, Lu Tian took the chance to drive. She didn't have a choice but to agree since her car was left at De L'amour.

However, unlike the usual beauty he drives, this time it was another beauty, a white Aston Martin Vanquish.

As they driver through Imperial, it took her a while to realize they were driving out of the city. The vast field always finds it's way to ease her mind. It reminded her of the way to her yeye's, but she knows it's not. They were heading in the opposite direction.

She had to admit, she is impress that Lu Tian knows the good in purchasing a high end car, but.... the scene of beautiful greenery outside still impress her more.

Staring out to the field, she couldn't help but think that she should visit her Yeye and Jingxu.

Yes, she will visit them tomorrow and see how Ting is holding up.

Ending her thoughts, she pout her lip and ask herself, 'just where is this place Lu Tian is taking her?'

Just as she asked herself the question, Lu Tian turns the car onto another road. However, unlike the road before, this road had rows of trees on both sides. It reminded her of the wine yards in America.

From one look, she knew that when spring comes, the beauty of these tree will show themselves like the cherry blossoms at her yeye's.

And as if it wasn't enough, Yue Ling covers her mouth and gasp quietly. The car drove up and small hill and when it came down, a Kingdom stood in the distance of view.

Well, not a Kingdom, but a giant house that can be on pair to one. Surprisingly, this house is too big to be called a house and she hates to say it, but it's more magnificent than her yeye's Spanish Mansion.

Good gracious, is this how rich people like to live?

The closer they drove towards the house, it didn't take long before a metal gate greeted them. The brick wall it connected to surrounds the house like a fortress from the enemy.

Not being able to help herself, she unknowingly press her face against the window to see better.

"..."

Lu Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His wife's temperament at this moment resembled a child at the theme park. He held in his laugh and roll down his side of the window. Reaching into the inner pocket of his coat, he takes out a black card and scan it on the access box.

The right shut gate slowly opens and he press on the accelerator to forward the car.

Oblivious to all of this, Yue Ling's attention continue to remain on the house. The closer they got to the house the more she felt like everything is a dream.

She has seen many beautiful homes around the world, but none is more breath taking than this one.

It's all white structure and dark tile roofing was very unique with big windows all over. Judging from the view in distance earlier, this house is two stories, but other parts of it stood higher, making it also a three story house.

If the outside of the house is already this amazing, just how would the inside look like?

Who ever lives here must truly be a great architecture major or hired someone with high value skills to build this house.

Without looking at the driver, she reach her hand out and taps Lu Tian in the shoulder.

"Tian, who lives here? They're—"

Half way into her words, she tilt her head and frown. Turning to look at him, she was dumbfounded. Her hand froze in midair and she is grabbing onto air.

Where did Lu Tian go?

*click*

The passenger door gently opens and a masculine hand reaches in towards her. She looks down at the hand then to the owner.

"Tian..."

'When did he park the car and get out?'

Outside the passenger side of his Aston Martin, Lu Tian clears his throat to hide his urge to laugh. His wife had been too immerse by the house that she didn't even hear him park the car or stepped out. He even told her they had arrived.

Thinking of it, he couldn't help but feel jealous towards the house. Even he doesn't attract his wife's attention this much.

Did he make the wrong decision in picking this house out of all the others that Xu Long showed?

Yue Ling: "Tian, why are you always drinking vinegar?"

Lu Tian: "...."

Yue Ling chuckles and place her hand over Lu Tian's. Stepping out of the car, she smiles being able to stand in front of the tall and big house.

Even if the wind today isn't strong, it was still cold, yet, a relaxing cold. It was as if an oil painting had come to life.

Lu Tian held his wife's hand and he pout his lip. Unlike his wife, he, for the first time in his life felt his cheeks flush ever so slightly. Is he embarrassed? No. Is he ashamed? Of course not. Then what's making hims blush? Oh, that's right, his wife. She had questioned about his jealously like it was the most natural thing in the entire world.

Oblivious to Lu Tian's thoughts, Yue Ling looks at him and seeing his flushed cheeks, she frown. Lifting her free hand, he touch his forehead.

"Are you not feeling well?"

Lu Tian softened and he holds her hand down. His head lowered and touched hers.

"I'm alright, lets go inside."

He's is happy that his wife still cares about him, mistaking him blush as a cold, but he knows that she is more interest in the house. For now, he will hold back the itching feeling in his hands to destroy the house. He holds her hand tighter and walks in the direction of the door.

Yue Ling's brows furrow together. She looks around the driveway, then to the entrance of the house. There were no signs of cars or people except the two of them.

Leaning closer to Lu Tian, she whispers to him.

"Tian, are we... trespassing on private property?" She looks around again, and continue, "You're not planning to break inside are you?"

"...."

Lu Tian was struck dumbfounded. He swore if he grew up the way Xu Long and Liu Shan did, he would of stumble to the ground. He wouldn't be surprised if he ate dirt too.

Ignoring her words, he guides her to the front door. He'll just have to show her how much trespassing they are going to be doing.

Yue Ling stare in wonder at the tall double doors in front of her. It was made with fine bocote wood painted white with large inner windows that were tinted for privacy.

Although, she is sure she wants to see the inside, she couldn't help but feel that they shouldn't trespass on private property.

"Tian, I don't think we should—"

*click*

"....."

Lu Tian calmly unlocks the door and push it open. He looks at his wife and shrug his shoulders.

"It was unlocked."

Yue Ling stare flabbergasted at him. She clearly heard the key turn and unlocked the door. How dare he says it was unlocked?!

Shaking her head, she looks inside and surprise took over. She was just as amaze with the outside as she is towards the inside at this moment.

Glistening white walls with glossy marble flooring decor the inside of the house.

"I had Xu Long reserved today's house tour for us. Do you like it?"

Lu Tian ask with a faint smile. From the way his wife looked, he is sure she likes it.

Yue Ling looks at him and she gulp down her saliva. Turning back to the inside of the house, she slowly nods her head and let's go his hand. She steps forward and looks around.

"Like it? What's there not to like? It's like a castle in a child's storybook."

Still standing at the door entrance, Lu Tian lift his hand and looks down at it.

Every time he holds Yue Ling's hand, he feels complete and warm. Her warmth is like the shining sun to his soul on a cold winter day.

However, he frown at his hand. At how empty it feels when his wife lets go of his hand.

Pouting his lips in disapproval, he looks in the direction she went and strides in big steps after her.

Yue Ling who is without a care oblivious to the king of Jealousy is leisurely taking her time touring around the first floor of the house.

Seeing a set of stairs, she smiles and decides to have a look on the second floor. She couldn't wait to see the view from upstairs. Would it be the same as when they drove down the hill?

Her hand touch the stair rail and just when she was about to take her first step, a sudden warmth wraps around her hand. She looks down at her hand, then to the man standing next to her.

"Tian..."

"Let's look around together."

Lu Tian didn't show a change in his expression, but Yue Ling could already see through his sly move. His look right now was like a little boy who didn't want to be separated with his mother.

It was the same look he gave her when they came back from City Z. The man didn't want to let go of her hand then, she was sure he never will.

A sudden dawn on her as she hopes he never will. To hope that he will not only hold her hand, but their baby's too.

She nods her head and smiles at him. She shift their holding hands as their fingers fill the gap of each other's. Taking a step, she leads the way up the stairs with Lu Tian following closely behind her.
