Chapter 786 - Under construction (1/2)

Finished finding the dress for the engagement party, Yue Ling was finally able to breathe in relief. She sat on the passenger seat of her white BMW x5m as Lu Tian drives them home.

She tilts her head back to lean on the chair and turns her head to glance out the window. She wasn't surprised to see that the sun was beginning to set in the distance.

Even though she didn't do much but try on dresses, she felt fatigued. She felt like all the energy in her body was drained away like a pool without water.

Knowing that she is on her way home now, her eyes gradually close. However, she quickly sits up when she remembers something.

She looks at the man in the driver's seat, but she hesitated on what she wanted to ask and narrowed her eyes.

”What is it that's making you look at me like I'm a criminal?”

Lu Tian didn't need to look at his wife. He could make out her expression from the corner of his eyes.

A chuckle escapes Yue Ling and looks away from him. She stares out at the window in front of her. Raising one hand to hold her chin, her other arm cross over her chest.

”I'm curious about our engagement party. Usually, the bride takes part in the preparations, but your mother won't let me.”

When she and Lu Tian went to the Lu family house for dinner, she had brought up the topic a few times. However, Madam Lu would brush it aside by saying everything is under control.

She (Yue Ling) is grateful for Madam Lu's generosity, but she felt guilty. She isn't one to let others pay for everything if she is the cause of it. After all, she isn't short of money.

Lu Tian had a feeling that this was bothering his wife. He stretches a hand to her and gives her hand a gentle squeeze.

”My mother said she wants it to be a surprise for you.”

Hearing this, Yue Ling pout with a heavyweight on her heart. She guessed it was a surprise as the Lu family tend to have a thing for surprises. However, she doesn't want Madam Lu to handle all the preparations alone.

Then again, maybe it shouldn't be too bad as it is only the engagement party.

”Don't worry too much about it. My mother has always dreamt about this day.”

Lu Tian reassures her as he squeezes her and again. In truth, his mother wanted to prepare for the wedding, but he told her it was up to his wife. In the end, his mother could only settle with the engagement party and offered her help if needed for the wedding.

Remembering another thing, he glances at his wife before looking back at the road in front.

”Should we go somewhere tonight to relax your mind?”

Yue Ling chuckles at his question. She places her other hand over their joined hands and tilts her head back.

”Going somewhere does sound nice, but I want to go home. I miss the comfort of my bed.”

Her eyes gradually close, and she felt her entire body turn heavy from exhaustion as sleep devours her.

Lu Tian was a little disappointed by her answer. If she wanted to go somewhere, he was willing to take her. Even if it is only for one night.

However, seeing how tired she is, he doesn't push the conversation further.

”I'll wake up when we get home.”

As Yue Ling lets sleep take over, she subconsciously answers with a faint 'mm' before entering the abyss of dreams.

Lu Tian taps a button on the steering wheel to raise the car temperature. He wanted the car to be warm and cozy so that his wife can have a nice nap.
