Chapter 562 with his wife (1/2)
Dinner finished with ease as Yue Ling said goodnight to Madam Lu, Zhao Ya'Er and Madam Zhao. The mother and daughter left together as Lu Tian had informed the Lu family's chauffer to come pick up his mother.
Watching the two cars drive away from the restaurant, Yue Ling and Lu Tian waited as a valet worker left to retrieve Lu Tian's car.
A soft sigh escapes her lips as she was exhausted from shopping. She couldn't wait to go home and jump onto her cozy bed after washing up.
Standing next to her, Lu Tian heard her sigh as nothing about her escapes his ears. He looks down at her and reach a hand to hold her hand. A faint smile curls on his lip before it changes into full of mischief.
”Darling, hm?”
Yue Ling was imagining herself already at home with Inu, but hearing his sudden words, she returned to her senses. She doesn't look at him right away but continue to stare at the street in front of her. She couldn't help but wish to have Zhao Ya'Er turn around to come pick her up.
She had only dare to call Lu Tian 'darling' because she didn't want to see him, and his mother argue over unnecessary things. However, how can she tell him this?
Struggling a very hard gulp like a big lump was stuck in her throat, she slowly turn her head to look up at him. A big and crooked smile on her lip as she chuckles.
”Do you want me to call you 'darling' from now on?”
'Please say no.'
She spoke the remaining words in her head. It's not that she didn't want to call him darling, she is still getting used to calling him by his name. To call him 'darling' now, is even harder as she has never called anyone by a pet name.
Lu Tian stares down at his wife and he wanted so badly to laugh at the sight of her pleading face. However, maintain his master supreme poker face, he pretends to put on a thinking face.
”Hm… Calling me darling doesn't sound so bad, but…”
Yue Ling felt her entire being shrink at his words. When she heard him say 'but', it was like she had returned to her usual size and her eyes lit up with fireworks exploding in the background.
”But?”
Seeing her glistering eyes, a soft chuckle escapes Lu Tian's lips. His other hand gently pinch the tip of her nose and he pulls her into a hug.
”I prefer to hear you say my name.”
Which is the truth. As much as he liked hearing her call him darling, he loves it more when she says his name.
Besides, darling isn't such a bad pet name, but he doesn't want to call a name that many other people are being called. He wants her to pick a name that is only meant for him.
He lowers his head and place a kiss on her forehead then pulls away from her. His attention returns to the street as if he had not shamelessly kissed her in public.
”Once we're officially married, you can call me anything you want.”
”…”
Yue Ling's cheeks flush red before it spread across her entire face. It was not his words that took her by surprise, but what he did as there was a valet worker standing two feet away from them. Even she can see that the young man's cheeks are just as red as hers.
Lu Tian was able to see her expression from the corner of his eyes. He knew what he did had made her flush from embarrassment, but he felt happier than ever. He told her before that he didn't care if anyone saw them. Be it in public or not, only she matters to him.
As he thought this, his black Maserati Levante Trofeo slows to a park in front of them. A valet worker steps out from the driver seat and hand the key to Lu Tian.
”Mr. Lu, your car.”
He gestures a polite bow before taking a step back and returns to join his coworker at the side.
