Chapter 658 Indeed the stronges (1/2)
Under the gray sky that engulfed Imperial into darkness, the streets were less crowded as people didn't want to be out in the pouring rain.
However, despite the rain and wet grounds, a black umbrella can be seen gliding as it shelters its owners from the rain.
As they were oblivious to what their assistants were doing, Lu Tian's long legs stride at a steady pace as he carries his wife on his back. Yue Ling nestles her chin on his shoulder with one arm wrap securely around him and her other hand holding the handle to the umbrella.
”Tired? Am I too heavy?”
She asks in a shy voice as she felt her weight was too heavy and from the distance, they've walked, there is no doubt the man is tired by now. However, Lu Tian shook his head and continues to walk towards the food stall she wanted to go to.
”If you're heavy, I wouldn't even carry you.”
Hearing his words that were full of honesty, Yue Ling chuckles and tilt her head to lean against him.
”My head Eunuch is indeed the strongest.”
The moment they parked the car, she told him she could walk despite her still not able to feel her legs. However, he was against it and crouched in front of the passenger door with a demanding tone saying either she lets him carry her or they go back home.
She was left speechless by him and said they could just go back home, but he pulled her out of the passenger seat, and piggyback carried her. He didn't even leave her any room to say more and started walking.
Coming back from her thoughts, Yue Ling sighs and pouts her lip. She couldn't help but feel that her weight is still too heavy for him to carry.
”Tian, I think you should put me down. I can still walk on my own. Besides, what if others were to see you carrying me like this? What will they say about you? Wouldn't your almighty image be ruined and everyone in Imperial will think that you are a henpecked husband?”
If her memory serves her right, Lu Tian is said to be a well-known bachelor with a cold personality that makes one unable to get close to.
With their current situation, wouldn't letting him continue to carry her like this sabotage the image he worked so hard on? Not only that, wouldn't this make others question his ruthlessness?
Lu Tian couldn't see her face, but he was well aware of why she wants him to set her down. However, when it comes to her, he can care less about his image.
He tightens his grip on her legs around him and continues forward without pause.
”I don't care about what others have to say about me. If they see me like this, good.”
He gently bumps his head with her head and his words continue.
”Let the world know that I am only Han Yue Ling's henpecked husband.”
Yue Ling's cheeks flushed and she turned into an even shyer little girl. She is so worried about his image and yet, here he is, unfazed without a care in the world.
”You're always spoiling me.”
He is always letting her act like a spoilt brat. He doesn't even seem to be bothered by it, but seem to like it when she acts this way.
Lu Tian sighs a faint smile at her words. He indeed likes to spoil her, but...
”Not enough.”
He spoke his remaining thoughts aloud and continue in his steps.
Others may see him as a coldblooded man with no heart but for her, he is willing to be anything.
As long as he can make her happy and see her smile, nothing else matters to him. Even if she wants him to pluck the stars in the sky for her, he is willing to because she deserves to be happy like everyone else in the world.
”Ah! It's right there!”
While Lu Tian was in the middle of his thoughts, Yue Ling suddenly exclaims and her arm wrapped around him points to a specific food stall in the distance.
Lu Tian was brought back to his consciousness and looks in the direction she had pointed. He chuckles at her excited tone of voice and increases his speed.
How can he forget that food is his wife's best friend.
