Chapter 883 - Need To Work Harder (1/2)

Grey clouds lingered over Imperial like a dense fog, leaving no room for the sun or moon to be seen anywhere. Rain trickles down from the sky in pursuit and splatters on the ground like a song to the ear.

Inside the beautiful home of Yue Ling and Lu Tian, all was quiet but the faint breathing from the couple.

Yue Ling gradually opened her eyes as she awoke from her sleep. Due to her sleeping on her side, the door to the room was the first thing she saw then she felt a slight heaviness on her waist.

She knew it was an arm and didn't need to turn around to know who it belonged to because it was the person who completed her world.

Her eyes calmly blinked, and the faint darkroom was now fully visible as the sound of rain taps against the windows. However, her body ached so much that she didn't want to get out of bed at all.

She forces herself to turn around to face Lu Tian, the reason behind her aching body. However, when she saw him, a smile curled on her lips.

His sleeping face was one that any woman would want to be able to stare at all day. The three lines between his eyebrows made him look all the more alluring.

She raises her hand to soothe out the lines but pauses midair. Images of what happened between them all night flowed inside her head, and her cheeks flushed a crimson shade.

”You can touch me if you want.”

Lu Tian's deep voice mixed with roughness suddenly sounded, but his eyes remained closed. He waits a few seconds but not hearing a response from his wife, he opens his eyes.

A pair of bluish-green eyes greeted him, and he smiled. His arms tighten around her, and he pulls her a little closer to him.

”What is it? Why are you just looking at me?”

Yue Ling gazed at the man without uttering a word. She was embarrassed by his words but didn't know why she felt blessed to wake up and fall asleep with him.

Did she, by chance, save a country in her past life?

However, she quickly pushed the question aside when she felt her body pressed against his body.

”Ah…”

She yelped in surprise and realized they weren't wearing any clothes. Her face turned as red as a tomato, and she put her palms on his chest to keep a distance between them.

”We…”

She averts her eyes from his and tries to place her attention on something else.

”We have to get up for work.”

She could feel his beast below rubbing against her thigh. If they continue to stay in bed any longer, who knows what will happen.

Lu Tian ignores her words and closes the distance between them. He embraced her like he hadn't seen her in years and pressed his forehead against her.

”Work...”

He closes his eyes and inhales a breath. Her sweet fragrance entered his nose, and he knew he was home. However, thinking about her words, he sighs inside again.

”I need to work harder.”

Yue Ling couldn't help but chuckle at his words. She doesn't move away from him but looks at his up-close face.

”If you want to work harder, you should get out of bed.”

She smiles at him, and this time, she moves away. Even without looking at a clock, she could tell from the lighting that it was time to get ready for work.

Just when she moved back an inch, Lu Tian opened his eyes. His dark eyes gaze at her with the love he has for her can see at a glance. His arms remained wrapped around her with no intentions of letting her go.

”I meant, I should work harder in making you stay in bed.”

”…”

Yue Ling froze and was rendered speechless. She stares at him with a slightly agape mouth before sounding a chuckle.

”You… what…”

She stammers with her words and continues laughing at how shameless he was behaving.

”I can barely move my body, and you're saying you want to work harder?”

Lu Tian felt guilty when he heard her words. He knew that he had overdone it in bed, but he couldn't help it. He missed her so much, and once she was in his arms, he couldn't stop himself from wanting her more.

He stares at her smiling face, and his entire being softens to the core. He leans forward and kisses her on the lips. His arms loosen around her before he gets up from the bed.

”Okay. I won't work so hard.”
