Chapter 775 Cant disappoint them (1/2)

*Ring! Ring!

Inside the restaurant, Yue Ling and Lu Tian were having lunch with Madam Lu, Madam Zhao, and Zhao Ya'Er. They had just finished their meal and were preparing to leave when the ringing of someone's phone goes off.

Not sure whose phone was ringing as they all had the same ringtone, each person takes out their phone to check.

Zhao Ya'Er held a smile, thinking it was Xu Long calling her. However, when she saw her black screen, she sighs depressingly.

”It's not mine.”

”Not mine either.”

”Same here.”

Madam Lu and Madam Zhao chimes in after confirming it wasn't their phones. Both women glanced at Yue Ling and Lu Tian. Upon seeing their expression, they knew who the call was for.

”I need to take this.”

Lu Tian's deep voice sounds when he saw who was calling him. He gives a small smile to his wife, then walks away to a quieter place in the restaurant.

Watching him leave, Yue Ling creases her eyebrows. The phone in her hand was also ringing. Could it be a coincidence?

She brushes the strange feeling inside away and looks at the other three women. She gives them an apologetic smile and points to her phone.

”Please excuse me for a bit. I also need to take this call.”

She walks away but only by taking a few steps. Her bluish-green eyes scan the restaurant with high sensory awareness. As she did this, she unlocks the screen and places the phone next to her ear.

”This is Yue Ling.”

”Speak.”

At the same time Yue Ling answered the call, so did Lu Tian. Like his wife, he was also watchful for any danger if he needed to perceive and act.

Yue Ling's phone: [”Boss, run! Run—”]

Lu Tian's phone: [”Boss! You will never believe this!”]

Together, two voices sounded coincidentally from the couple's phone. The other line's voice spoke frantically and incoherently, but Yue Ling and Lu Tian listened carefully.

The more Yue Ling listened, the deeper she frowns. However, like she had heard something that surprised her, she abruptly looks at where Lu Tian was standing.

Despite the five tables separating them, she could see his eyes already looking her away. Not only that, but his expression was as clear as the blue sky…

”Lin Hui, I'll call you back.”

[”What happened? Are you okay? Boss?! Boss?! Am I too late? Boss?!”]

Muting Lin Hui's voice out, Yue Ling ends the call. Never once did she avert her gaze from the man standing across from her.

She could see that his handsome face held a trace of darkness, and she felt like a needle was suddenly stuck in her throat and made it harder for her to breathe.

'What do I do? I forgot to tell him.'

She had arrived home that night drunk and forgot to tell him. Well, it wasn't that she forgot about the matter, she thought it wasn't necessary.

She asks herself as she thought about what Lin Hui had called to tell her. Just then, she sees Lu Tian ending the call on his side.

He places his phone in his pocket and walks over to where she was.

However, unlike the clouded expression he had on seconds ago, he had returned to his usual self. Only he was too calm. So calm that Yue Ling felt it was too scary.

'What do I do? Should I make a run for it? Oh God, he's walking closer!'

Her composure was kept cool, but inside she was screaming with panic. Until they were only three feet apart, she forces a crooked smile and chuckle.

”Tian, about… you see…”

She tries to explain as she could already guess who had called him. However, unexpectedly, the corners of Lu Tian's mouth arc up into a soft smile.
