Unexpected Second Chance at Love

From the door, Kira couldn't hold himself back and snorts a laughter. He had heard the conversation between the two men and couldn't believe that their Little Princess was such a shameless person.

He leans against the door frame and folds his arms in front of his chest.

"So, what do we do now?"

His words fell as he looks at Qin Jun. The man wanted them to keep their acquaintance with Yue Ling a secret from Lu Tian. However, now that Yue Ling and Lu Tian have announced their relationship, it's only a matter of time before they receive the wedding invitation.

Being like brothers to Yue Ling, they will definitely attend the wedding, but what then?

How are they supposed to explain themselves to Lu Tian? Not only that, what if Yue Ling asks how they know Lu Tian?

Song Jing Li was also looking at Qin Jun. He contemplated on whether to say what is on his mind, but deciding on something, he takes a deep breath.

"I've been thinking, and I think we should visit her."

His expression turns serious and he doesn't look away from the man like was standing his ground.

"We don't have to tell her about Shin's death, but we should at least see how she is doing. Not by a distance but ask her in person."

After Kira met with Xu Long, he told them that he was caught by Liu Shan. Knowing the assistant's skills, they weren't surprised that he found Kira.

However, when they listened to what Kira had to say, he and Qin Jun were put at a loss.

How can Yue Ling who hasn't been in Imperial for long already experience another loss?

Qin Jun and Kira were thinking the same as Song Jing Li. Liu Shan didn't say specifically what Yue Ling went through, but it was enough to make them worry for her.

Seeing how Qin Jun was still hesitant, Song Jing Li sits up to straighten his spine.

"What is there to still think about it? The world already knows about their relationship. It wouldn't be weird if we were to pop in to congratulate her."

Qin Jun was indeed hesitant. As much as Song Jing Li and Kira wants to see Yue Ling, he also wants to see her.

The only thing was, she is a very quick-witted person. Even if they don't give away any clues about their purpose being in Imperial, he was still afraid she might see through them.

He inhales a deep breath and stood up from the chair.

"I'll think it over."

Without waiting for the two to respond, he strides out of the room in silence.

Kira shakes his head with an unreadable thought. He glances at Song Jing Li and turns around to follow Qin Jun.

"Come one. We have work to do."

On the other side of Imperial, Lu Tian had to leave for work earlier than usual, so Yue Ling drove herself to De L'amour.

Upon her arrival inside the building, she welcomed by confetti and a huge banner that said, 'Congratulations!'

She stood in the middle of the lobby with specs of confetti still glued to her tan wool coat.

"Boss! I can't believe you're getting married! I'm so happy for you!"

Sophia exclaims cheerfully and approaches Yue Ling. She couldn't witness the proposal, but from the picture the media had released, she could already tell that the proposal was romantic and something out of a fairytale.

"Congratulations boss!"

"How should we prepare? Are you designing your own dress? Where will the location be?"

One by one, the employees of De L'amour congratulates Yue Ling and asks about the wedding. Each person held a happy expression as they know that if anyone deserves to be happy, it is her.

Yue Ling thanks each person with a smile. She looks up at the huge banner and she felt a mixture of happiness and agitation crawl inside her heart.

Taking a deep and quiet breath, she brushes her emotions away and looks back at everyone.

"Alright, I know is everyone is happy for me, but we still have work to do."

She walks away towards the elevator without asking their curious questions. However, she pauses in her steps and her voice sounds again.

"We can go out for dinner and drinks after work."

It has been a while since she last treated her employees out. She was also supposed to take them out to celebrate their hard work during the Fall Fashion Show, but she was caught up with other things. That was also why she decided to give them extra time off work.

Watching her enter the elevator, everyone was stuck in a daze by her sudden words. Were they hearing correctly? Did she really say they were going to eat and drink after work?

Behind the group of employees, Liu Shan had entered the building not too long after his boss. He heard everything, but he saw something and it bothered him.

Most women would be thrilled and excited about their engagement and can't wait to prepare for their wedding. Especially when it's with the person they love.

However, why did his boss look a bit off?

His eyebrows twitch in a slight frown before he walks through the group of cheering people. He clears his throat to get their attention.

"Hurry up and get back to work. If none of you finish in time, there will be no dinner and drinking."

Everyone was rendered speechless by the assistant. Their heads follow his figure until he enters an elevator and disappears from view.

Amongst the group, Yue Ling's design team was also there.

Gui Zhongmin scoffs a chuckle sarcastically and he looks at Qi Li. He lowers his head and slightly shook it.

"And I thought you were the buzzkill amongst us all."

Qi Li cast a side glance at the stylist. He maintains a straight and cold face, but he shrugs his shoulders without any care in the world. He walks towards the direction his boss and Liu Shan had gone.

"Buzzkill or not, it's the truth."
