Chapter 564 putting this on hold (1/2)

A week passed by as Yue Ling stayed home while Lu Tian went to work. Although she hasn't been given approval to return to her regular schedule, she made sure to keep an update with work.

Everyday after working hours, Liu Shan or Lian Ni Shang would stop by to give her paperwork that needed to be signed. The two also informed her about work related and personal situations including the process of uniting De L'amour and An Qing together.

However, given that her subordinates have been doing so well, she decided to give them a day off to relax.

In the quietness of the house, Yue Ling and Inu sat on one of the white couches. The human and Samoyed stares at the other couch as if they were thinking very hard about something.

Like mother like son, a sigh escapes their lips at the same time.

”Alright, I can't keep putting this on hold.”

Yue Ling was the first to speak and she stood up. Walking over to the other couch, she reach for the stack of unfolded boxes she had asked Liu Shan to buy.

Watching her every move, Inu quickly jumps down from the couch. The two then walks towards the stairs and proceed their way to the second floor.

Yue Ling's thoughts traveled into the abyss and before she realized it, she took her last step onto the hard floor on the second level of the house. However, for some reason, she felt as if she was stepping onto quicksand.

”Wroof…”

Sensing something is wrong, Inu sounds a faint bark as he stares up at his favorite human with a worried expression. He gently nudge the side of her leg with his head as if to bring her back to consciousness.

”Wroof…”

Hearing his second bark, Yue Ling finally blinked her eyes. She looks down at the little guy and a faint smile curls on her lip.

”Thank you for being here with me.”

Holding the boxes in one hand, her other hand reach down to pat Inu on the head. She takes a deep breath and takes a step forward in the direction of her and Lu Tian's room. However, just as she was nearing, she makes a left turn into a short hallway about 3 feet in distance.

She pause in her steps and stares at the closed door. Like time had slow down with her, she didn't realize she had stopped breathing.

After what felt like an entire day had gone by, she slowly close her eyes as she takes another deep breath. When her eyes opened again, she whispers to herself.

”Okay Yue Ling, you can do this.”

She steadies her heart and soul as she reach for the door handle. Slowly turning the handle, she push the door open.

What greeted her was a dark room and the only room they had installed carpet inside. There were two windows, but neither had been opened. If she didn't know that the sun was already out, she would have thought it was still nighttime.

Knowing where everything is, she puts down the boxes in her hands and walks to the left side of the room where the biggest window is.

Pulling the curtains aside, she undrew the blinds allowing the natural light from outside to enter the room. She slowly turn around to look at the room that now looked like it had been revived.

The room wasn't as big as the other rooms in the house, but it gave a very settle and comfortable feeling. There was the big window she had opened and one to the left of where she stood.

Placed on the corner between the two windows was a light grey recliner and a soft cream throw blanket folded on top.

To the right of her where the door is positioned in the middle, there was a white dresser on the right side. On top of it was a stuffed teddy bear she had made to look like Inu, a picture frame without a picture and reading books that have not been read. To the left of the door, was a matching color changing table and a laundry basket.
