Chapter 680 Where are we going? (2/2)

His voice was quiet, but it did not escape Yue Ling's ears. She creases her brows and looks down at the dress.

”You picked out this dress? When?”

Lu Tian's cheeks flush a shade of pink when he realized his mistake. He had been so mesmerized by her that he slipped.

He clears his throat and brushes aside any trace of feelings on his face. He gestures with his chin to Madam Zhao who was walking towards them.

”It was my aunt. She picked it up.”

He self corrects himself and felt proud of himself for being quick to think on words. That is because he wasn't lying to her. During his passing breaks between meetings, he had browsed through an online dress shop to buy a nice dress for his wife.

When stumbled upon on this powder blue dress, he knew that it was meant to be worn by his wife.

He paid for it, but due to his work schedule, he had to ask his aunt to 'pick' it up from the store.

Yue Ling looks up at him without a word. She knew she had not heard wrong. However, seeing how quick he was to correct himself, she decides to do what she is doing with everyone else.

She smiles sweetly at him with her teeth then turns to look at Madam Zhao with the same smile.

”Thank you, it's a very lovely dress you picked out.”

Madam Zhao was touched by her words, but Lu Tian felt like he had been stabbed in the heart and could not breathe. Those words were supposed to be for him, how can she say it to his aunt?

However, seeing her smile that can always melt his heart, he pulls her into his arms. He lowers his head and without any care about his aunt and cousin being present, he lowers his head and kisses his wife.

”…”

Yue Ling's eyes shot open and blood rush to her cheeks. At the same time, Zhao Ya'Er squeals and covers her eyes while Madam Zhao covers her mouth with one hand. However, she didn't forget to raise her other hand and gives her nephew a thumbs up.

Knowing that she was going to push him away, Lu Tian beat her to it and pulls away from her. He lowers one hand to hold her hand tightly and pulls her towards the door.

”Let's go. There a place I want to take you.”

Yue Ling obediently follows his every move with a shy expression. Before she exits out of the restaurant, she didn't forget to wave goodbye to Madam Zhao and Zhao Ya'Er.

Glancing at her from the corner of his eyes, Lu Tian smiles at her expression. It's true that he wants to lock her in a cage, but deep down, he knows that be can never do that to her.

If he did, he will never be able to see her captivating smile and her heart full of warmth will disappear forever.

And having her turn a cold shoulder to him is the last thing he ever wants.

”Where are we going?”

Yue Ling asks as she sat in the passenger seat. She looks at Lu Tian who was already sitting in the driver seat and wonder at her own question.

She thought they were only having a nice dinner then go home. However, he said he wanted to take her somewhere.

Lu Tian starts the car and gives her a side glance. His foot presses on the accelerator and drive away from Elegancy as he reaches to hold her hand closest to him.

He slightly leans to her and brings her hand up to his lip. He places a soft kiss on the back of her hand and smiles with a beam of light flickering in his eyes.

”You'll see when we get there.”
