Chapter 820 - Have everything under control (2/2)
Before she could ponder anymore, her eyes widen when she thought about his words. She abruptly pushes herself up and sits between his legs.
”What do you mean by having faith in our subordinates?”
His words were simple, and anyone who heard wouldn't put too much thought into it, but not her.
Since he brought her here, she assumed it was to get away from the house. However, as a person who has encountered more situations than others, she knows there was a different meaning behind his words.
She slightly narrows her eyes with suspicion at the aloof man lying in front of her.
”Did something happen that you're not telling me?”
Lu Tian's expression did not once falter at her sudden change of position and the look in her eyes that said she could strangle at any given moment if he were to lie.
After a long minute, he clears his throat and sits up. His wife is a smart woman, and he loves that about her, but there are times he wants her to be oblivious about some things.
Like now, he just wants her to relax and not think about anything. However, it's still best to tell her the situation.
He reaches forward and grabs the blanket that had dropped when Yue Ling sat up. He carefully wraps it around her and pulls her closer to him.
”Tao Meng sent his men to kidnap you.”
He was aware of this because he saw a suspicious person lurking around in front of
the gates when he left his wife's closet room. He had a feeling that the person was one
of Tao Meng's people on a search for his wife's location.
However, he didn't think Tao Meng would be stupid enough to send men after his wife.
”He really is asking for death.”
Yue Ling mumbled in Lu Tian's arm as she frowns at the mention of Tao Meng wanting to kidnap her. Was he (Tao Meng) such an idiot for not connecting the dots?
She assumed he would have figured out her identity after what happened at Uncle Nuo's
food stall. Then again, she's not surprised if he were clueless.
Besides her subordinates and now Lu Tian and his men, only a handful of people in the underworld know how she looks.
”Maybe I left him off too easy.”
Lu Tian was taken back by her cold words but chuckles in the end. He remembers the message he received from his assistant and places his chin on top of her head.
”Our subordinates paid Red Moon a little visit.”
Yue Ling hugged his waist and stares at the fire pit that kept them warm from the
night breeze.
”Judging by how calm you are, it must have been a good visit.”
She lets out a small chuckle, and Lu Tian pursed his lips. He pulls away from her but only enough to see her face. He looks at her with a serious expression.
”I may look calm, but inside, I am fuming with rage. Who knows what I will do if I were to cross that man.”
Only God knows how angry he was when he found out Tao Meng took an interest in his wife. He
wanted to destroy Red Moon and burn it to the ground. However, he had to hold himself back.
His wife is keeping Red Moon intact for a reason, and for that reason, he can't cause any trouble for her.
Yue Ling stares at Lu Tian's stern expression that he claims to be calm. However, no matter how much she looks, it looks like his usually indifferent one.
She suddenly wanted to smile at this adorable side of him but press her lips together. Right now was not the time to smile or laugh at something serious.
Lu Tian noticed her holding back, and he sighs inside. He was serious about how he
felt but his wife is thinking about something else.
However, not wanting his wife to dwell too much on the situation, he decides on something.
He pulls her closer to him until their bodies were touching without any gap.
He leans his face towards her, and seeing her eyes tremble at his move, he smiles.
”Don't overthink about it. Our subordinates know what they're doing.”
He doesn't give his wife room to answer and presses his lips against her soft ones.
