[Dear readers, it's been a while since I've added this message, but WARNING: This chapter contains scenes inappropriate for younger readers!!]

While the lonesome night turned chaotic for Yue Ling's subordinate, Lin Hui and Lu Tian's assistant, Xu Long, the two bosses stayed inside the warm penthouse.

Yue Ling stood in front of the floor to ceiling window inside Lu Tian's bedroom. The view was different from hers and it gave a different feeling despite the pouring rain outside.

Thinking back to the dangerous situation she was in earlier, she gently touch her abdomen.

Her strength alone was enough to take down the men, but it would have harmed her baby. If Inu and Lin Hui had not been there with her, who knows how the outcome would have turned for her.

At the thought of possibly losing her child, Yue Ling close her eyes and her fingers gently grip against her abdomen. It was as if she was holding tightly onto her child.

Lost in her thoughts, she did not notice the man standing by the door.

After their bath, Lu Tian gave her one of his shirts to wear since she did not bring any extra clothes. He had left the room to let her change while he went to check on Inu. When he came back, he did not see her in bed and his eyes panickily search for her.

However, seeing her stand in front of the window, he sighed in relief. He felt the tension inside him loosen, but he does not move and continue to gaze at her.

The way she wore his shirt made it look like a dress on her, but it added an alluring and mesmerizing aura around her. It was as if she was a goddess sent down by the heavens to tempt any man who meets her.

Of course, the only man is him and no one else.

He quietly close the door and walks towards her. He made sure not to disturb her thoughts as he forgot to breath himself.

Unaware of the man behind her, Yue Ling remained unmoving. It wasn't until she felt his larger hand slip around her.

She did not flinch at his sudden touch. Her eyes slowly open and she looks down. Her hand that was caressing her abdomen was now replace with his as she held his.

”Not tired?”

Lu Tian cooed near her ear as he finally remembered to breathe. He inhale her scent and embrace her tighter as if wanting to knead her with him.

Yue Ling couldn't help but smile and shook her head. She leans against his broad chest with a thought.

Every time she is in his arms, he gave her a sense of security. Like every burden she carries are lifted away by him.

Thinking this, she reposition herself to face him. Her bluish green eyes stares into his and the courageous woman inside her breaks. Only with him, can she show such weakness.

Her eyes moisten and she hugs him tighter.

Lu Tian was at a loss for words. He stares down at his wife and he softens.

He allows her to hug his waist as he wrap his arms around her tightly. His chin rest on top of her head and a tinge of pain stabs his heart.

Even if she is the leader of Fate and a woman with a strong well, she is still human. And like everyone, she has feelings too.

Remembering the uneasy feeling he had, he hated himself for not being with her when she and their child was in danger.

He close his eyes and kiss the top of her head.

”I'm sorry I did not come back sooner.”

He pulls away from her, but only enough so he could see her face.

When he saw her, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. It felt like someone had stabbed him in the heart with thousands of sharp needles.

Her eyes were red and moist. She looked so fragile like a person who would break at any moment. However, he knew she was trying her best to stay strong.

He move his hands to hold her face and leans down to kiss her forehead.

”I promise, I will never let any harm come to you and our child. Not now, not ever.”

Yue Ling stares up at the man. From each word he spoke, she could hear the never-ending promises in his voice. Her eyes slowly close as his lips moves from her forehead to her moisten eyes, nose, cheeks and lastly, her lips.

His hand holding her cheeks moves away and he grabs her hands that are wrapped around his waist. He did not let go but interlock one hand with hers while guiding her to the bed.

When they reached the bed, Lu Tian sat down at the edge and pulls his wife closer to him.

She stood between his legs and gaze down at him as he to her. A soft sigh escapes her lip and she couldn't help but trace her fingers along the side of his face.

”The little one and I are fine, so don't blame yourself for what happened.”

From his hugs and their interactions, she knows that he blames himself for what happened. He didn't need to tell her because she could see it in his eyes.

Lu Tian sighs a faint smile. His hand reach for her left hand and raise it to his lip. He plant a small, yet powerful kiss on the back of her ring finger.

His hand holding hers place it around his neck and he move his other hand to her back. Bringing her closer to him, he rest the side of his head on her abdomen.

Feeling the warmth of her on his cheek, he slowly close his eyes.

Seeing him do so, Yue Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked like a lost child who had given up all hope, but suddenly found his way back.

She gently stroke his head with her fingers running through his soft hair.

”Tian, what are you doing?”

He doesn't answer her but tightens his arms around her. At the same time, he made sure not to use too much strength afraid he might hurt her and their child.

After a long minute pass, he shift his head to look at her abdomen. He plants a kiss and lower his head, allowing his forehead to rest against her. He doe not let get gom but continue to embrace her.

”Let me hold you both for a little longer.”

A small smile curl on her lips upon hearing his words. They met under a difficult situation, but now she feels extremely blessed to have him in her life.

She decides to not move and allow him to embrace her and their child.  After all, their child needs to feel his love too.

Seconds turned to minutes and as she stayed still in his embrace, she was suddenly wash with regret.

Lu Tian's cold hands trace the back of her thighs and slowly move under the shirt until she felt the coldness on her back.

”Mnn…”

She couldn't help but utter a soft moan at the touch of his callus palm. Both her hands quickly grasp onto his shoulder and she exclaim in surprise.

”T-Tian!”
