Chapter 682 Your smile means everything to me (1/2)
Yue Ling stood under the setting sky of different colors and she felt like she had been transmitted into ancient times as she stares down at Lu Tian.
He held his hand out to her like a scholar asking a noble's daughter to go on a boat ride.
However, like time itself had slowed down for them, her eyes soften with her heart and she places her palm over his.
She carefully steps down from the deck and joins him on the wooden paddle boat. She sat at the rear seat while Lu Tian took the center seat.
”When did you buy this lake? How come I didn't know?”
They were always together unless they were at work. However, other than that, he hasn't mentioned anything about buying or owning a lake.
Lu Tian saw that she was perfectly seat and unties the rope securing the wooden boat to the deck. He grabs the grip part of the paddles attached to the side and rows gently away from the deck towards the center.
”I bought it today while I was at work.”
Hearing his answer to her question, Yue Ling's eyebrows arched up with her eyes slightly widening. She is surprised, yet at the same time, she isn't.
With the amount of money that he makes, she isn't surprised that he had only purchased the lake today. Better yet, if he were to buy the entire mountain, she wouldn't be surprised.
She looks away from him and down to the water that now surrounded them. Her right arm reaches out and she runs the tips of her fingers through the cold freshwater.
”You shouldn't have spent your money so carelessly. This lake must have cost you a fortune.”
Lu Tian continues to row the wooden boat with gentle strokes. However, he never once took his eyes off his wife.
”Even if it were to cost me a fortune, it was worth every penny.”
Yue Ling didn't dare to look at him. She kept her eyes down at the water and pout her lips.
”Still, you shouldn't have spent your money so carelessly like this.”
Knowing that was trying to make a point, Lu Tian's smiles a smile that reached his eyes.
”My money is yours.”
He finally stops rowing and the wooden boat comes to a full halt in the center of the lake.
”Everything I have is yours. You can decide for me how I should spend it.”
Yue Ling didn't know what to say. Up until now, everything she has had been because of her own hard work. Never did she think to share someone's wealth.
”I didn't mean it like that. What I meant is—”
She looks up from the water and turns her head to look at him. However, the moment she lifted her head, she froze in place with time.
