Chapter 794 - Take what you did to my grave (1/2)
Yue Ling sat on her side of the bed with a blank expression written on her face. Her bluish-green eyes stare into Lu Tian's dark ones like she was trying to read his thoughts.
The more she stared at his straight expression, the space between her brows crease, and her lower lip trembles ever so light.
Whether she was trying to hold back on crying or laughing, no one could tell.
Lu Tian settled in his spot next to his wife. He stared at her with a straight and severe expression. He needed to let her know that he meant his words when he didn't want her to jump out the window.
However, when he saw her lower lip tremble ever so lightly, his eyes tremble, and his entire being froze.
He could feel sweat start to form on his forehead, and a wave of nervousness slowly crawled inside him like tiny ants.
His wife had been staring at him like he was a criminal being interrogated. How did it suddenly change to her on the verge of crying?
Afraid he might have hurt her feelings, he inhales a deep breath, and his posture slumps a little.
”Don't cry. I was being serious. I don't want you to ever jump out of a window again. It makes me s-scare for your safety.”
His words fell worried and panic about his wife, but his eyes widen, and he quickly looks away from her gaze. He curses inside at his mistake, and his hands on the blueprint clench tighter without realizing he was crumpling the paper.
Yue Ling's blank expression turns into amus.e.m.e.nt, and both her eyebrows arched up. She scoots a little closer to Lu Tian and leans closer as if trying to get a better look at his expression.
”Did you just—mmf!”
Before she could say another word, Lu Tian quickly covers her mouth with one hand. The color on his face was the same as usual, but his ears were burning red in embarrassment.
”I didn't do what you think I did.”
His face then slowly turned grim as he grew frustrated, like he was having trouble fighting with his inner demon.
Yue Ling didn't move his head away and burst into a burst of heartfelt laughter sounds from her. She had been trying not to laugh the entire time, but he mistook her expression for crying, and now this.
Her laughter soon ceases, but behind the hand that covered her mouth, she was grinning from ear to ear.
Lu Tian glance at her with a glare, and Yue Ling press her lips together. She didn't wait for him to say anything and nodded her head. She wanted him to know that she will not laugh or say a word about what happened, so he can move his hand.
Seeing her quick to cooperate without needing to say anything, Lu Tian lets out a small sigh. He moves his hand and lowers his head.
He had tried his best to stay composed and show her how worried he is about her safety. However, the outcome of his effort led him to stutter.
From the moment he could speak, he never once stuttered and was called a child prodigy. To think this is his first time stuttering in front of someone, and someone had to be his wife.
Yue Ling never looked away from the aloof man. She had planned to ignore the matter about him stuttering, but seeing how downhearted he had become, she was at a loss.
She couldn't understand why he was making a big deal out of it. It was natural for one to stutter in life.
Even she stutters every once and a while.
Her eyes subconsciously glance at his ear and notice how red they have become. She couldn't help but smile at how adorable Lu Tian looked.
She raises her right arm and places her palm on his shoulder. She did so in a gentle manner as if trying not to scare the man.
”It's okay. I'll take what you did to my grave.”
Lu Tian turns his head to look at her. He was met with seriousness, and her left hand raised with three fingers pointing to the sky.
He gazes into her mesmerizing eyes that reminds one of the Mediterranean Sea, and he felt his shoulders relax. He swore he felt like everything in life had a meaning for him as long as she is here.
Just being with her at this moment made him feel less tense about stuttering.
Yue Ling wasn't able to maintain a straight face for too long and laughs. She lowers her hand and looks away from the man, but before she could, her eyes widen with a quiver.
The man, who was embarrassed seconds ago, suddenly leans towards her, and before she could sound another laugh, his lip pressed against her lip, sealing off any sound.
Like she was the one who saved him from drowning in embarrassment, Lu Tian groans a sigh. Never will he ever get tired of the touch of her lip and how he can smell her sweet fragrance.
And as much as he wanted to deepen the kiss at this moment, he reluctantly pulls away.
He doesn't move too far but taps his forehead against her and remains in place with eyes closed.
”Should we go somewhere for the night?”
Yue Ling was still stuck in a daze from the kiss that came unexpectedly. She didn't even have the chance to blink, let alone think about anything.
She stares at the man whose face is too close to her, and her heart began to race. It was only then that she returned to her senses and nodded her head.
