Chapter 265 Terminated (1/2)
The private room inside Imperial Hotel turned into a cold freezer. Lu Tian looks at his wife and when his eyes caught sight of her wrist that was held, his expression turned darker than it already is.
Taking big strides with his long legs, he only needed 2 steps to reach her. He held her hand and gently rub it to ease the redness. As he does so, he didn't forget to lift her hand closer to his lip and blow on it.
”Why are you so careless?”
His frown tightens more seeing that it took a while for the redness to disappear. If he had not come, what would have happened to his wife?
Seeing the look on his face, Yue Ling smiles to the man. She could already guess what was going on in his head. Lu Tian's words were of worry, but she could hear the anger in it.
”I'm fine, Tian. My people would never let him do anything to me.”
And that was the truth. The two waiters earlier were none other than Liu Shan and Lin Hui. It was thanks to Liu Shan's certain pair of shoes that she even dare to touch the food, let alone drink the water. Knowing that they had come even though she had told them not to, it did ease her mind. However, seeing Lu Tian, she was even more at ease.
Lu Tian nod his head hearing his wife's words. He had forgotten that she has outstanding people by her side. However, remembering how Ning Xingyu had his arm wrapped around his wife, he is still in rage inside. His head slightly turn to look at the man who is now behind him.
”Mr. Ning, you have crossed the line.”
”...”
Stuck in silence and confusion, Ning Xingyu could not comprehend the scene in front of him. From what he gathered, Han Yue Ling is not married nor is she in any scandal involving a relationship. However, the way Lu Tian spoke to her.... It sounded like a caring husband... Just as his mind drifted to try the scene, Lu Tian's cold words brought him back to reality. When did he cross the line?
”Mr. Lu, I was having lunch with Miss Han. How is this crossing the line?”
Lu Tian calmly turn to face the man. His eyes were the same as always. Indifference, but chilling cold like they could see through one's soul. He knows that his wife is capable in taking care of herself, but he also knows Ning Xingyu. There has been a lot of women in Imperial who falls for this kind of person. Once he is done using them, he will toss them out like they are garbage.
However, he will not be Lu Tian if he allows this pest treat his wife this way.
”You made the mistake when you invited my wife here.”
Lu Tian made sure he emphasized the word 'wife'. Although Yue Ling isn't his wife yet, he rather call her wife than girlfriend. Especially when it comes to men who eye his wife like a hungry dog.
”...”
Like lightning suddenly hit him, all the hair on Ning Xingyu's body stood up. Not only is he shocked, even the security guard is shocked.
Everyone know that Lu Tian has never been in any scandal involving relationship. Not even any women in Imperial can get near the cold man. Yet... here he is claiming Han Yue Ling as his wife...
Seeing the shocked look in Ning Xingyu's face, Lu Tian was quite satisfy. However, he would be more satisfy if Yue Ling was really his wife, by name and law.
Thinking of it, he felt an uncomfortable tinge feeling inside of him. Seems like he'll need to speed up the preparation. He really needs to propose to her and marry her. That way, he can proclaim to the world that she is his lawful wedded wife.
Yue Ling stood behind Lu Tian and she stare at his god like figure. She really does like this feeling of being protected... In the past, it was always her who protected her people. Shin protected her too, but it wasn't the same like the way Lu Tian did.
Just as her thoughts started to drift, Lu Tian unexp turns around to her. Without warning, he takes her by the hand and walks out of the room.
”Xu Long.”
Lu Tian spoke as his figure exit the door. He didn't have to say anything else as his assistant already knows what to do.
Entering the room, Xu Long happily appears with a smile, however, when he saw Ning Xingyu, his smile disappears. He walks to the center of the room with a folder in his hand and place it on the table.
”Mr. Ning, your contract with Lu Corps has been fully terminated. Please handle your business elsewhere.”
”...”
Ning Xingyu was dumbfounded hearing this. It was like one blow came after another to his head. He gulped in difficulty and his now trembling hand reach for the folder.
How did everything turn out this way? Didn't he plan this carefully? Wasn't Qian Li Li supposed to help him keep the contract intact?
”T-This....”
He looks up to Xu Long, but to his surprise, the assistant had already disappeared. The only person in the room with him was the security guard. He clench the folder in his hand and threw it across the room.
”Mr. Ning, about this—”
The security guard had yet to finish his words when he sees Ning Xingyu strides up to him in anger. It was an angry expression he has never seen from the man. He takes a few steps back to avoid what was coming, however....
*bamm!*
Ning Xingyu kicked the security guard in the stomach. His blood was boiling and he needed to vent his anger and humiliation. Punch after punch was thrown at the guard. If the staff had secured the plan like he planned, none of this would of happened. He was so close to getting Yue Ling!
Until the guard was unconscious did he finally calm down. His breath was heavy and his eyes turned cold. He takes a deep breath and fix his suit jacket.
