Unexpected Second Chance at Love

The afternoon came to Imperial when the decision on a set of jewelry was finally decided to go with Yue Ling's wedding dress.

She was then able to breathe again and changed back to the normal clothes she had worn.

However, her day has yet to end.

"Ah Ling, won't you join us for lunch?"

Madam Lu asked when she saw Yue Ling come out from the fitting room. Her eyes held a look of pleading without realizing that both her hands were clasped together.

Yue Ling looks at the woman who is going to be her mother-in-law. She thought that finding a wedding dress was all, but Madam Lu had informed her that she (Madam Lu) had made reservations for them to have lunch, then go to another store to find her (Yue Ling) a dress for the engagement party.

She wanted to turn down the invitation since there were plenty of dresses stored away at De L'amour. She could just go through them and pick one to wear for the engagement party.

However, seeing the pleading look on not only Madam Lu, but also Madam Zhao and Zhao Ya'Er, she could only sigh inside.

"Alright, I'll join you for lunch."

Although she was still embarrassed about what happened earlier, she knew that she couldn't say no to the three women.

Not only that, but she had also rushed out of the house without eating breakfast, so was getting hungry. Especially after having to try on the many dresses.

"Yay! This is terrific! I get to spend more time with Yue Yue!"

Zhao Ya'Er exclaimed happily. She skips over to Yue Ling and locks arms around her best friend before looking at her mother and aunt.

"I'll carpool with Yue Yue. You two can go together in one car."

Hearing this, Madam Lu rolled her eyes while Madam Zhao snorts loudly. They had also wanted to go in the same car as Yue Ling but had to remember their hardworking drivers waiting outside.

Besides, they were all going to the same place.

Yang Yang watches them with envy. He had been invited to go with them, but he has to sit this one out. His schedule requires him to leave the country to meet another client.

He bids the four women goodbye and turns around to start cleaning the remaining mess still left in his shop.

However, remembering something, he turns around to the women, but they were no longer on the second floor with him.

He sprints down the stairs skipping two or three steps in hopes to catch up with them.

"Aunty! Aunty Lu wait!"

He calls out as if his life depended on it until he caught up to them by the front door. However, it was only Madam Lu and Madam Zhao as Yue Ling and Zhao Ya'Er were already walking towards the retired model's white car.

"Is something the matter?"

Madam Lu asked when she saw the young man's desperate expression. However, she suddenly gasps when an unbelievable thought crosses her mind.

"Did something happen to the dress?"

Yang Yang had just finished catching his breath when he was struck baffled by Madam Lu's words. It had only been no more than five minutes so how can something happen to the dress already?

Shaking his head, he walks over to Madam Lu and smiles at her.

"Nothing is wrong with the dress. Trust me, I will guard it with my life and make sure that it stays perfect until the wedding."

He swore by his words and reach a hand to hold her hand.

"I will be busy with other wedding preparations overseas, but rest assure, Yue Ling's wedding is my top priority."

He had already lost the chance once, never will he let his second chance slip away.

"Also, please give my congratulations to Han. Tell him that I will not disappoint him or his wife."

Madam Lu was dumbfounded by the words that entered her ears. She blinked her eyes and Madam Zhao tilts her head. Both women held the same look of confusion on their faces.

"Han? Han isn't getting married. I don't even know if he is dating anyone, let alone seeing anyone."

A chuckle escapes Madam Lu's lips and confused Yang Yang. He frowns and tries to think.

The Lu family has 2 sons and Han Yue Ling is going to be Madam Lu's daughter-in-law. Between the 2 sons, it makes perfect sense that Lu Han is the one getting married. Of course, he can't understand how a man who changes women like how he changes shirts can catch Yue Ling's attention, but it must be fate.

However, why would Madam Lu say that Lu Han isn't the one getting married?

Seeing how hard he is thinking, Madam Lu chuckles again. She places one hand over Yang Yang's hand and put his mind at ease.

"It's Tian. Ah Ling and Tian are getting married."

"Ah, I see…"

Yang Yang answers with a smile without thinking. However, like something struck him hard on the head, the smile on his face froze.

In the next second, he swore it felt like someone used a hammer to smash his frozen smile and shatters it into millions of pieces.

"T-T-T-T-T... T-T-Tian… Tian is the one getting married?"

He stutters at the name of the cold-blooded man. If possible, he never wants to say the man's name as it was like calling out for the devil.

However, seeing Madam Lu nod her head in response, he looks out the window.

He could see Yue Ling smiling happily as she enters the driver's side of the white BMW x5m.

"H-How… How is this p-p-possible?"

Even for a man who likes the same gender, he found Yue Ling to be the perfect woman. She is perfect in every way, and her smile is so warm it can melt a person's heart.

So how can someone so sweet and loving like her be with someone like Lu Tian?

Madam Lu scoffed in disbelief at him. She yanks her hand away from his grasp and smacks the side of his head. Of course, she didn't use too much strength.

"What do you mean by 'how is this possible'? It's possible because Ah Ling and Tian are two people in love. So, it is only natural for the possible to happen that they are getting married."

She rolled her eyes the more she looks at Yang Yang. Holding the front of her white coat, she straightens it with a tug.

"Plus, my Lu family's Tian and Ah Ling are a match made in heaven."

Feeling she had made her point loud and clear, she turns around and strides out of the shop while mumbling to herself.

"How dare he utter such nonsense? Ah Ling and Tian make the perfect couple."

Madam Zhao watched her sister-in-law storm out and she heaves a long sigh. She walks over to Yang Yang before leaving and place a hand on his shoulder.

"I know you are busy with work but remember to stay updated on the things in Imperial."

If he had read the news in advance, he would have been in less of a shock to find out who Yue Ling is marrying.

Good thing they told Lu Tian to stay home or else, Yang Yang probably won't be able to step foot in Imperial again.

As Madam Zhao left Ages of Love, Yang Yang did not move an inch from his position.

He stood rooted to the floor with his hands still raised in midair like he was still holding Madam Lu's hand. His eyes stared at the blank space in front of him like a statue.

Everything about him was like life had suddenly thrown a rock at his face.

After what felt like an entire day had been wasted, he finally found the strength to move again.

However, instead of coming to his senses, his eyes rolled back, and his body falls backward onto the floor.

He fell with a loud thud that echoed inside the entire store. Such a fall would have made him faint due to the impact on his head, but he was fully conscious and awake.

He stares up at the ceiling in a daze and part his lips.

"Never in my entire life did I ever imagine that ruthless man to be the first to get married."

His lower trembles uncontrollably and he chokes a sob without any tears.

"And he's marrying Yue Ling…"

Just what kind of shocking news is this?!
