Chapter 787 - Origin of the noises (1/2)

Approaching the front door to their home, Yue Ling held a frowning expression. She looks around their front courtyard as the sound of construction she heard in her sleep was still ongoing. However, no matter where she looked, she couldn't see anything out of place or work on.

”What's wrong?”

From the side of her, Lu Tian asks when he saw his wife looking around. He also heard the sound of construction work, but he pays no mind to it.

Yue Ling's frown remained in place. She glances around again but seeing nothing again, she shakes her head.

”It's nothing. I was just thinking our neighbors might be renovation their house or building something.”

Her words fell, and her frown disappears, but she tilts her head like she was pondering her thoughts.

”But it's strange now that I think about it.”

She leans closer to Lu Tian like she would tell him a secret and did want anyone to hear.

”Ever since we moved here, I've never seen any houses or cars other than ours.”

Lu Tian laughs at how attentive she had been with her surroundings. He doesn't stop to look around with her but continues to the front door.

”That's because the closest house to us is 5 kilometers from where we came from.”

His words fell like thunder striking Yue Ling, and her eyes widen. She looks at him with revelation. It was no wonder she never saw anyone when she leaves the house.

Their house is on a small hill. When entering from the main road they live on, the end of it is the gate to their home. She knew their house was at the end, but with the many trees on either side of the road, she thought her neighbor's house was probably hidden away.

As she thought this, a thought came to mind, and she stares at Lu Tian in an utterance.

Does this mean he can kill her, and no one will hear her scream for help?

Lu Tian was just about to unlock the front door when he, by chance, glanced at his wife. When he saw how she was staring at him, he laughs as her expression said it all.

He unlocked the door and held the door open for her like a gentleman.

”I think it is your beauty that will kill me first.”

Yue Ling was rendered speechless by his ability to mind read. She lets go of his hand and raises both arms to cover her chest with palms touch her cheeks.

”If my beauty can kill, you would have been dead already.”

She walks over to the coat closet. Removes her coat and shoes but frowns over something that had been bothering her.

”Who is making such a ruckus?”

For some unknown reason, the sound of construction never ceased, but now that she is inside the house, the sound seems to be even louder. It was like the noise is coming directly from inside their home.

She quickly puts on her house slippers and walks further inside the house with eyes scanning everywhere. When she suddenly saw something that was out of place, she hurriedly strides closer.

”Tian… Our living room… what happened to our living room?”

Her eyes shook, and she stops in the center of the living room. All their furniture had disappeared. However, what shocked her the most was the huge window that gave a view of the back courtyard.

It disappeared with the wall.

She stares with wide, unblinking eyes outside, and when she saw the new scene in front of her, her mouth slowly open agape.

The construction sound she had been hearing was coming from their back courtyard. People were walking back and forth, carrying heavy loads, while some take the wheel of construction vehicles.

Even she can't help but wonder how the back courtyard was big enough to accommodate this many people and vehicles.

If not for this, she would have thought their house had been robbed or a tornado flew through their home.

Lost in her daze by the situation happening in front of her, seconds turned to minutes. Returning to her senses, she turns her head to the side to look at Lu Tian.

However, met with the man's calm demeanor, she was rendered speechless.

”D-Did you know about this? Is this something you had planned?”
