Chapter 784 Came to get you (1/2)

”Tian?”

Yue Ling calls out the name of the man she loves wholeheartedly. Her voice was not too loud, nor was it too quiet. Anyone who heard or saw her at this moment would think she is trying to be quiet as to not attract attention.

Just as she takes the final step behind the shelf, her lips parted in an attempt to call his name again, but she stopped herself when she spotted him.

Lu Tian sat in a chair like a noble ruler. He had one leg crossed over the other, making a four-figure. Both his elbows rested on either side of the armrest, and his head was slightly lowered.

She thought he might be looking at his phone, but when she followed his line of sight down, she was in for a surprise. He wasn't staring at his phone but on the floor under his foot. His expression was indifferent, but she could tell that he was in deep thoughts.

Yue Ling watched him from a short distance. She doesn't make another sound as she was in her own daze of admiring his entire being.

She inhales a breath to sigh, but just as she was about to exhale, she notices a slight chill brush against her skin. She frowns at this and looks around in confusion.

Why does it feel like the temperature in this area suddenly dropped?

She looks around to the heater vent, and her frown deepens a little.

”That's odd… It looks to be working fine.”

She whispers to herself as she didn't feel cold even though she was wearing a dress.

Thinking this way, she looks back at Lu Tian and sees how he hasn't noticed her. She looks back in the direction she had come from. She wanted to ask an employee to confirm whether the heater is working correctly.

However, her bluish-green eyes quickly met Madam Lu's brown eyes in the distance.

Before she could say anything, Madam Lu parts her lip and says something inaudibly.

Yue Ling blinked her eyes in bewilder when she saw this. As someone partially raised in the underworld, her maternal grandfather taught her how to lip read.

When she read Madam Lu's words in her head, she smiles with her teeth but made no sound.

She looked back at Lu Tian, who was still distracted in his own world.

Now she understood why this part of the room was so cold. Compared to the rest of the bright and cheerful space, she could see dark clouds hovering above Lu Tian's head.

He didn't look like a noble ruler any more, but instead, he looked like a little child sulking because he had been left behind.

Lifting one leg, she takes a step forward then another as she approached him.

”Why are you sulking alone over here?”

Her angelic voice sounds with a smile still on her face. She stops in front of Lu Tian, but he even didn't react or look up at her like before.

”Tian?”

She calls out to him but this time a little louder. Taking a step to the side of his legs, she squats down with a tilted head and stares at him.

”Are you sulking because I took too long? Is that why you're not answering me?”

Lu Tian was deep lost in his own thoughts regarding the phone call he made in the car. When he saw a familiar figure suddenly appear at his side, he comes back to his senses and turns his head to look.

Seeing his wife's beautiful and smiling face, he didn't get startled but smiles at her.
