Chapter 676 Eat out for dinner (1/2)

Standing in front of the floor to ceiling window inside his wife's office, Lu Tian stares out to the outside world. When he heard her voice, he turns around to look at her and a smile curls on his lip.

He could see the look of surprise on her face, but he brushes it aside.

”Are you finished for the day?”

Yue Ling slightly creases her eyebrows together before narrowing her eyes at the man. Is it a coincidence that Lu Tian is here the same time her subordinates asked for the remaining day off?

Unless… No, that's not possible.

She brushes the thought aside and walks over to him. She also tells herself that there is no way Lu Tian and her subordinates would plan this all out.

”There isn't anything left to do, so I dismissed my employees early. What are you doing here? What about your company?”

Watching her approach him, Lu Tian takes a big step forward to close the gap between them. He doesn't ask for approval and pulls her into his embrace. They had only parted in the morning, but he felt like it had been an entire year that he could have her in his arms again.

He lowers his head and places a soft kiss on her forehead.

”Work finished early, so I came to pick you up.”

His words were full of honesty, but the truth was, he had a pile work stacked in his office. He was about to finish them, but his assistant called to inform him that everything is ready, so he pushed work aside and came to find his wife.

When he arrived at De L'amour, he was surprised that she wasn't in her office. He sent Liu Shan a message to know of his arrival and decides to wait inside her office until she returns.

Luckily, she returned before the sun started to set, or else, he will have to improvise his plan.

”Are you hungry?”

He asks as he lowers his arms around her, but only so that he can hold her hands. His right-hand raises her left hand to his lip, but he couldn't help but pause when his eyes subconsciously glance at L'amour de ma vie.

Millions of feelings wash inside him like he was suddenly thrown into the ocean. He doesn't continue with what he was going to do but stares at the ring with a blank expression.

”Tian? What's wrong?”

Yue Ling was going to answer him that she was hungry but asks in a slightly worried tone when she saw his solemn expression. She didn't know why, but he looked so lost like what he is thinking about was serious, yet, hurting him.

”Tian?”

Hearing her call his name, Lu Tian was brought back to his senses. He looks at her and shook his head with a smile. He raises her left hand and places a kiss on her hand.

”It's nothing. Should we eat out for dinner?”

Yue Ling gazes into his deep eyes like she was able to see through him. However, it was like he had put on a mask to barricade his feelings.

She brushes this thought away and smiles at him as she nods her head in response.

”Let me get my things then we can leave.”

She pulls her hands away from his grasp and turns for her desk where her handbag was. She also needed to shut off her computer since she won't be staying.

Lu Tian's sharp eyes followed her every move. The faint smile on his lip curls up more, but it soon gradually fades when he by a chance glance at the portrait that hung in her office.
