Chapter 863 - A Small Gift (2/2)

She wore a pink knitted set and held a towel in hand as she

dried her damped hair.

Upon exiting the bathroom, she sees Lu Tian. He had also showered and had changed into a comfortable set of black loungewear. She could see that he Had not properly dried his hair.

However, she noticed he was preparing his luggage.

The space between her eyebrows creases into three lines with confusion. Her hand with the towel slowly lowers, and she walks over to the bed.

”Are you perhaps leaving me because I brought home children?”

Lu Tian had heard her come out from the bathroom but didn't think much and continued to pack his luggage. However, when he heard her question, he frowned.

All his movements ceased, and he turned around to her.

”Never.”

He watched his wife walk towards him. He took her hand, sat on the bed, and positioned her between his legs when she was close enough.

”If I were leaving, I would bring you with me.”

Yue Ling chuckles at his severe and straightforward answer. She looks down at the small luggage still opened on the bed.

”If you're bringing me with you, I think you will need  a bigger luggage.”

She chuckles again and puts the towel in her hand on his head.

Lu Tian lets her dry his damped hair out of comfort habit. He wraps his arms around her waist and closes his eyes.

”I don't need a bigger luggage. You will be my carry-on.”

His sweet words made Yue Ling's cheeks flush a shade of red. She proceeds to dry his hair but glances at the opened luggage again.

She didn't know why, but him not being in the same place made her sad.

”Are you going on another business trip?”

Lu Tian answers with a faint mm. His eyes gradually open, and he gazes at her.

He sees her expression and pulls her closer to him. As he did this, he couldn't help but inhale her lovely scent that calms his mind.

”My flight is in the morning, so I won't be able to have breakfast with you.”

He presses the side of his head against her abdomen and gently tightens his hold of her.

”But I'll be back for dinner. Until then, don't get into any trouble.”

Yue Ling pouted her lips at his words. She was a little disappointed that he would not see him at breakfast but was at ease that he wasn't gone for long.

She lets him hug her and carefully dries his hair.

”I never look for trouble. Trouble just like to find me. Besides, I plan to finish work early then take little Jianan to see Doctor Dong.”

Lu Tian answers with another mm. He pulled away from her but still kept a hold on her.

He lifts his left hand to hold her hand. He brings her hand to his lips and softly places a kiss on the back as he looks up at her.

”I'll miss you.”

”...”

Yue Ling's eyes grew heavy at his quick change of topic. She didn't understand how her bringing Jianan to visit Doctor Dong would make him miss her.

However, feeling his warm lips still on the back of her hand, she shyly blushes.

”I already miss you.”

Lu Tian's heart jumped at her sheepish reaction. He falls back onto the bed, bringing her along with him.

”Tian!”

Yue Ling exclaimed his name at his sudden movement. She lands on top of him and pushes herself up.

Unfortunately, her movement was to no avail as he made sure to have a firm hold on her.

She peers down at him, and when their eyes gaze into one another, she swallows a hard gulp. She knew what he intended to do next.

And just as she thought, Lu Tian's hands ever so lightly caress her back.

There was a thick layer of clothes blocking his fingers from her skin, but it still sent a pleasant shiver up her spine.

His neck stretches forward, and she lowers her head to meet him.

”Hello?! We're back! Where did everyone go?”

Just as their lips were centimeters away from one another, Lin Hui's loud voice calls out from downstairs. He and Xu Long had returned from picking up dinner.

Yue Ling froze in place. She glances down at Lu Tian only to see a dark and murderous expression on his face.

She presses her lips to keep her from smiling. Without a doubt, he was angry.

However, thanks to her subordinate's loud mouth, they didn't have to go through a shameful act while having guests in the house.

”I think we should go downstairs.”

Lu Tian felt defeated. He just wanted to spend some alone time with his wife. Why is everyone making it so hard?

He gazed up at his wife and let out a frustrating sigh. His left arm drops to his side, and his other arm raises to rub his forehead.

”I think I should get rid of your subordinates.”

Yue Ling smiles with her teeth. She leans forward and pecks his lips before getting up from the bed.

”If you do that, I won't have any more subordinates.”

Feeling her weight off of him, Lu Tian could only sigh again. He stared up at the ceiling and thought about life.

He thought Inu was a buzzkill, but it turns out the little guy is more of a wingman compared to his wife's subordinates.

As he thought about the Samoyed, he couldn't help but miss the little guy.
