Chapter 676 Eat out for dinner (2/2)

It was the same portrait he saw that was taken of his wife from behind.

The space between his brows creases into three lines and he purse his lip. He will definitely need to have this portrait in his office at Lu Corps. However, unlike his vinegar eating feelings when he first saw the portrait, he felt her view from behind to be very familiar.

Like he has seen it somewhere before.

He looks away from the portrait and shifts his gaze to his wife. With her back turned to him, it was then that he put everything he had learned about her together.

In that split second, the image of a little girl from his past memories enters his mind and the smile that had disappeared gradually reappears.

He walks over to her and his entire being softened more than ever.

Yue Ling finished putting away her work and had only grabbed her handbag. When she turned around, she was taken back by surprise to see Lu Tian standing no more than one foot away from her.

She kept a calm expression with a smile, but deep inside, her heart was beating like it had run a full marathon. She pats her chest with her free hand to calm herself and chuckles.

”How can you move so quietly? If I didn't know you were here, I would have mistaken you for a ghost.”

Lu Tian's entire being softened even more at her smiling face. He reaches one hand to take her handbag while his other hand entwines his fingers with the gaps of hers.

”If I am a ghost, let me be your ghost and scare away anyone who wants to hurt you.”

He doesn't wait for her response and guides her to the door. The sun will be setting soon, so he needs to make sure everything goes according to his plan.

Being led out of her own office, Yue Ling was at a loss for all words. There was plenty of time before dinner, but why is he making it seem like they were going to be late for an appointment?

Both individuals soon reach the parked white car in front of De L'amour. Yue Ling was helped into the passenger seat and she watches as Lu Tian strides around the hood of the car then enters the driver seat.

She waits until he had started the car and was driving away from her company. Folding her arms over her chest, she stares at the side view of his perfect face.

”Tian, is there something you're not telling me?”

At first, she didn't think much, but the more she saw his behavior and compared it with her subordinates, she can't help but be wary of why they are acting so strangely.

Lu Tian kept his eyes on the road ahead, but he could feel himself sweating as he has never deceit anyone in his entire thirty years of living.

However, the person he is deceiving right now is his wife. He even swore an oath to never lie or keep anything from her.

Quickly thinking of something, he glances at her from the corners of his eyes and smiles with his teeth.

”I'm not hiding anything from you. I made reservations for dinner tonight.”

He looks back at the road and pats himself on the back in his head. He isn't lying to her because he did make a reservation for them.

Yue Ling narrows her eyes even more at him. She swore inside, for a second there she saw him looking nervous, but she couldn't be sure as he is a master at keeping a straight face.

She tries to rack her brain for a long minute before looking away from him. Maybe she was overthinking the situation.

After all, it was only dinner. Right?
