Chapter 640 I have to leave (1/2)

While Yue Ling and Liu Shan discuss their own matters, back in Yue Ling's office, Lu Tian calmly place the empty bowl of congee on the coffee table.

He had long finished the food since his wife left the room. However, he had purposely held onto the empty bowl in case she returns and question why he ate so fast. He even tried to eat as slow as possible, but the thing was… why hasn't she come back yet?

Glancing down at the empty bowl, frustration dawn on him and he abruptly stood up. Taking a few big strides, he quickly reach the door, but stops when he was about to grab the door handle.

”Tsk.”

He clicks his tongue and raise his hand to run it through his hair that had been free of gel due to the rain.

If he doesn't go out, what if his wife forgets that he is here? However, if he goes out, she will think that he is ill-manner since this is her company and not his.

Contemplating to himself for a long minute, he lowers his hand decides to go with the latter.

Turning away from the door, he walks back to sit down. The best thing he should do now is sit tight and wait for her return. By doing this, he won't be causing any problem in his wife's territory.

He had only reach halfway to the two couches when he caught sight of something from the corners of his eyes. His head turn to one of the walls in the room and he walks over to it.

Stopping near her desk, he doesn't stand facing it but at the wall next to it.

His arms raise up and he folds them over his chest as the windows behind him beam in the natural lighting from outside into the room.

A very tiny smile curls on the ends of his lip as his eyes gaze at the almost empty wall.

In the center hung a huge portrait of his wife.

She wore a flowy white dress that revealed her fair and flawless back. She stood like an enchanting immortal facing the huge floor to ceiling window. The rays of light in the portrait added a glow to her slender figure.

Like an angel in an oil painting, one can only admire from afar in fear of ruining such masterpiece.

He stares at the portrait with soft and loving eyes before the space between his brows crease into three extremely tight lines.

Judging from the angle this portrait was taken, the cameraman must has sneaked a shot without his wife knowing.

His lip purse and a scowl appears on his face. He can't help but want to strangle the cameraman. How dare this person sneak a perfectly good photo of his wife?

However, thinking about her portrait that was hung in his office, an idea pops in his mind. He'll ask her to see if he can keep this photo too. That way, only he can look at it when he misses her while working.

*Ring ring

In the middle of his partially vinegar eating thoughts, the sound of his ringtone suddenly echoes inside the room. He was brought back to his senses and turn to look at his phone that had been placed on the coffee table.

Deciding to put his former thoughts aside, he strides back to the table and picks up his phone. When he saw the name of the caller, his frown deepens more before answering.

”Speak.”

[”Boss, I found them.”]

From the other line, Xu Long's voice chimes in with a serious tone. He doesn't wait for the aloof man to say anymore and goes into further details.

[”I checked the CCTVs in Imperial. They've been meeting different sources to gather information on Choi Li Sun's location. The reason they've been disappearing like ghosts is because the Kira guy is their hacker. He would delete the footages to wipe out any trace of them, but I was able to trace them.”]
