Chapter 740 If you already knew (1/2)

As the sun settles on the horizon, Imperial engulfed in a hue of red and orange. The gates to the most expensive and highly guarded homes in Imperial creaks open. A black Maserati Levante Trofeo drove through and headed in the direction of the Lu family house.

The car stops in front of the neo-eclectic house. It was crafted of limestone exterior that stood in place on top of a small hill. Its stunning features outshone all the other homes and braced itself like a king on a chessboard.

Lu Tian steps out of the car and walks around the hood of the car to the passenger side. He opens the door to help his wife. Each movement of his was fast and swift as he knows any second slower and his wife would beat him to it.

However, what he did not know is that, inside the car, Yue Ling was purposely taking her sweet time.

They were at the Lu family house and if Madam Lu were to see her helping herself out of the car, the woman would give Lu Tian an earful about not being a gentleman.

”Ah Ling! Ah Ling!”

Yue Ling had only taken a step out of the car when she heard Madam Lu's voice. Her palm that was about to land on Lu Tian's palm froze in midair.

Both individuals turn to the middle-aged woman and could see how thrilled she (Madam Lu) is.

Madam Lu runs to the car and without any care for her son, she shoves him to the side and hugs Yue Ling. If one did not know, one would think that Yue Ling is her daughter and Lu Tian is a stranger.

”Finally, you are here.”

She had been waiting eagerly by the window for their arrival. For a split second, she even thought that they were not going to come.

However, seeing her daughter-in-law's face, she inhales a deep breath.

Locking her arm with Yue Ling's, she pulls the retired model towards the house.

”Aiya, I am so glad you made it for dinner. I was terrified that you might have to work overnight and can't make it.”

Yue Ling stares at Madam Lu with a smile, but inside she was baffled beyond anything. She swore, no matter how many times they meet, Madam Lu would always make it seem like they were friends who have not seen each other in many years.

Then again, she is happy for being treated with such kindness. Their time together has not been long, but Madam Lu allowed her to know the feeling of having a mother again.

She doesn't pull her arm away but allows Madam Lu to lead her to the house.

”Thank you for inviting me over for dinner.”

Madam Lu lets out a heartfelt laugh and her other hand lightly pats Yue Ling's arm.

”Aiya, you are too polite. We are already a family. Come, come inside, it is too cold out here. Let's get you warmed then have dinner.”

As the two women near the house, Lu Tian was left alone again. He could only sigh and watch his wife from behind before lightly shaking his head. Every time his wife is around his family, it's as if he no longer exists in the world.

Closing the passenger door, he follows after his wife and mother like a servant.

”Ah Ling, this way. We can chat in the living room while the table is being prepared.”

Upon entering the neo-eclectic home, Madam Lu pulls Yue Ling towards the living room. There was still time, so they didn't need to rush with dinner as she had a lot to discuss with her daughter-in-law.

Yue Ling was given no room to speak. She could only look behind her shoulder and seeing Lu Tian's pitiful expression, she smiles a chuckle at him and reassures him that everything will be fine.

”Tian.”

Lu Tian had only taken a step towards the living room when he hears his father's voice. He turns to look at his old man and nods his head in greeting.

”Can I speak with you in private?”

Old Lu asked but like his wife, he gave no room for Lu Tian to answer and headed in the opposite direction of the living room.

Left with no other option, Lu Tian glance at the living room. He wanted to stay with his wife because he was afraid his mother will try to push her luck again. However, thinking about his father's words, he looks away from his wife.
