Chapter 775 Cant disappoint them (2/2)

”We should go. Everyone is waiting for us.”

Yue Ling was sweating like crazy but tilted her head like a confused puppy when she heard his words.

Didn't Lin Hui say that he and Liu Shan told Xu Long what happened during their encounter with Tao Meng and his men? She also heard that Xu Long was calling to let Lu Tian know, so Lin Hui called to let her know.

However, when Lu Tian didn't react to how she would have thought him to, she was demented.

Didn't Xu Long call to tell him, and it was the reason for the angry look he wore?

Or could it be that she had misread the situation?

Confused by the man's change of expression, she pouts with creased brows. Maybe she was overthinking. The call Lu Tian received must have been about something else.

Thinking like this, she relaxes a little and smiles her usual smile at him.

”Let's not keep them waiting.”

She walks away first as Madam Lu, Madam Zhao, and Zhao Ya'Er were still waiting. If anything, she can tell him about the incident when they get home.

Watching her walk away, Lu Tian leisurely follows behind her like a bodyguard. However, what his wife did not know is that he was holding in his anger.

Not towards her but at the report, his assistant had just informed him. If he had not answered the call, he would have never known that a bastard like Tao Meng actually took an interest in his wife.

As he thought about what he was doing that night, his blood began to boil. He should have gone to her instead of trying to be a good husband waiting at home.

Remembering how he even went to drink with Ye Zhongwei and Zhi Yifan, he inhales a deep breath that caused his body to tremble.

Just what kind of husband is he to not see or know that something like this happened to his wife?

He swore he's going to keep a closer watch on her. Even if he has to do it sneakily, he won't ever take his eyes off her again.

The second he thought this, he notices something from the corner of his eyes. He shifts his gaze from his wife and looks at what caught his attention.

His expression turned sour, and he growls a faint murmur.

”Stupid bees. Why are they everywhere?”

Not too far from where he and his wife were walking, a group of men was seated for lunch. However, not paying attention to the food in front of them, their eyes were locked on his oblivious wife.

They looked like a pack of hyenas waiting for the perfect time to strike an attack.

Annoyed by this and tasting vinegar in his mouth, Lu Tian takes two significant strides forward. He walks shoulder to shoulder with his wife and place his arm around her waist.

”Tian, what's the matter?”

Yue Ling was taken off guard as she was utterly oblivious to what Lu Tian was seeing. She tries to pull away as she didn't want to be seen as a shameless woman. Especially when his family is here too.

However, having pushed herself away by an inch, Lu Tian tightens his hold around her.

He presses her closely again him like he was trying to glue her to him. His head lowers towards her, making it seem like he was giving her a small peck on the cheek.

”Don't move. If you do, I'll really kiss you in front of everyone.”

”…”

Yue Ling was taken aback so much that she almost stumbles in her steps. If it weren't for Lu Tian's hold on her, she would have fallen forward. She inhales a deep breath and leans closer to him to whisper back.

”Your mother, aunt, and cousin are here too. Do you really have to hold me this close?”

Lu Tian glances in the direction of his mother, aunt, and cousin. Seeing their expressions, a smile curls on his lip, and without any warning, he placed a kiss on her temple before moving his head away.

”Of course, I can't disappoint them.”

Yue Ling wanted to argue back, but she was rendered speechless when she looks at the three women.

Waiting patiently a short distance from her and Lu Tian, Madam Lu and Madam Zhao were hugging each other with the most joyous smile on their face. A little next to them, Zhao Ya'Er was grinning from ear to ear and giving Lu Tian a thumbs up.
