Chapter 686 Like there is no tomorrow (1/2)
”Wroof! Wroof!”
Inu barks and jumps in pure happiness with his tail wagging when he sees the wooden boat touch the deck. He was eager to see his favorite human again.
However, the person who got off the boat first was his arch-nemesis.
Lu Tian ignores the little fluff ball's aura full of hate that was thrown at him. He turns to the lake and reaches down to help his wife.
Placing her palm on top of his, Yue Ling steps onto the wooden deck. She was quickly greeted with the eyes of everyone and her entire being turned shy. Not because they saw the proposal, but because they bear witness to the scene of her and Lu Tian almost falling off the boat.
”Wroof! Wroof!”
Ignoring all the people around, Inu pounce at his favorite human. It has been a week since he last saw her, but for some reason, not seeing her for a day feels like ten years.
”Inu! My baby!”
Yue Ling squats down and welcomes her fur baby with open arms. She hugs his small, yet chubby and fluffy figure and sighs a smile.
”Mommy misses you so much!”
Lu Tian felt the taste of vinegar in his mouth. He wanted to separate the Samoyed from his wife, but seeing how happy she is, he decides to wash the taste in his mouth away.
He looks at everyone standing in wait and he gives them a meaningful look.
”Thank you all for helping with the preparations.”
Hearing his words, Yue Ling looks up at him then to everyone. Now she understood why everyone was acting so strangely around her. It was all because of this.
Madam Lu's jaw dropped to the ground and she quickly covers her mouth revealing only her eyes.
In front, next, and behind her, everyone else was no different.
Each person stares at Lu Tian and was in disbelief at what they heard. Did the man known for his ruthless ways actually thank them?
Even as his parents, Madam Lu and Old Lu glance at one another then back to their oldest son.
Is this man really their Lu Tian? Wait a minute, is he smiling?
It was a very small and unnoticeable smile, but it was not small enough to escape their eyes.
”Ho, ho. What is there to thank? We were more than happy to help.”
Unlike everyone else, Grandfather Ji was the only one who didn't find Lu Tian's behavior strange. He walks up to the young man and nods his head approvingly as he places one hand on Lu Tian's shoulder.
”I am glad that you included us to witness this unforgettable moment.”
At first, he was reluctant to come as he was still in the hospital and didn't know the reason. However, the second Lu Tian explained his place, he (Grandfather Ji) jumped out of the hospital bed and demanded to be discharged. Well, more like a free pass to go out then return to the hospital.
He cannot let a moment like this pass or else he will regret it even in the afterlife.
Ji Jingxu rolled his eyes at the old man. He was there when everything happened at Imperial Military Hospital.
To be more precise, the old man didn't demand anything. It was more like he threatened to turn the hospital upside down if Doctor Dong didn't let him leave.
Shaking his head, he looks at Lu Tian and gestures a polite nod. After they encountered each other at the hospital the other day, he has gotten a little use to man's coldness.
”Grandfather is right. Thank you for letting us be a part of this moment.”
His words fell and he walks over to hat with his older sister. Like Inu, he too misses her.
After Ji Jingxu, everyone else congratulated and thanked Lu Tian for allowing them to witness the proposal. It was a night not meant for them, but one they will never forget.
Now, they can't wait for the big wedding day to come.
”Aiya, I cannot wait to tell everyone that my daughter-in-law is Yue Ling. I can already imagine the envious look on those old women's faces.”
Madam Lu exclaims excitedly as she and Madam Zhao walks side by side to the cars.
”Same here. I will spread this news like there is no tomorrow. I finally have such a beautiful and talented daughter-in-law.”
