Unexpected Second Chance at Love

The dress in front of Yue Ling gave off a romantic and dreamy appearance. It was a flowing A-line dress with a timeless structure bodice and puffed sleeves.

It is indeed a pretty dress, but Yue Ling wanted to find who the designer is. How dare they ruin a perfect dress by adding a vast and bright 3d butterfly right on the chest part of the dress.

She raises her left-hand and checks the inside for the designer.

'An Qing'

Seeing the name, her lower lip trembles, and she fights back the urge to curl her hand that was touching the dress.

How dare Chen Limei use An Qing's name to design such a disgraceful dress like this?!

How dare she bring shame to all the fashion designers in the world?!

Inhaling a deep breath that made her body tremble along, she tells herself to calm down. This is not the first time Chen Limei went behind her back and designed something so dishonorable.

She also reminds herself that once the weekend is over, she will be making her appearance at An Qing as the CEO. When everything is in place, she will discontinue any item Chen Limei had ever created under An Qing's name.

Calmly lowering her hand, she pushes the dress away with minimal strength. Her sudden action was like the dress was not to her liking, and she didn't want to touch something that has been tainted with filth.

Knowing that what she did might make Madam Lu misunderstand her intentions, she smiles at the middle-aged woman.

"This dress is indeed eye-catching, but I don't think it's the one for me."

She spoke nothing but the truth. With a bright orange butterfly right in front of the dress, it will surely catch anyone's attention. However, is it the one for her? No. Even she has her own standards when it comes to fashion.

Madam Lu nods her head at Yue Ling's words. She didn't find the girl's movements an insult. In truth, she was glad that Yue Ling could be honest with her.

She puts the dress back on the rack and continues with her way like the conversation never happened.

Yue Ling watched Madam Lu's departing figure with a small smile. She was in relief that the middle-aged woman was not offended by what she did.

However, seeing the three women join together as they diverge in their hunt for a dress, she lightly shakes her head and chuckles.

"What is so funny that Mrs. Lu is laughing?"

A low deep voice sounds from being Yue Ling's ear, and she jumps forward in surprise. She spun around to see who had sneaked up on her but pout when she saw Lu Tian.

"Are you a ghost? How can you not make any sound when walking?"

She has excellent hearing and can make out anyone's footsteps no matter how quiet they try to be. However, sometimes, she can never hear Lu Tian's footsteps.

It's like he does it intentionally. If he wants her to be aware of him, he'll let her hear him. If he doesn't, he can be as quiet as a wandering soul.

Lu Tian chuckles a smile seeing his wife's angry expression. He reaches his hand out and takes her hand.

"If I am a ghost, how can I hold your hand like this?"

Wrapping a firm grip on her hand, he softens a sigh when he felt the touch of her transferring warmth.

He thought back to their conversation in the car and came to understand something.

One touch of her hand was enough to brighten one's dark world.

Like the times when she reached her hand out to her subordinates who were suffering from fate, the moment they took her hand, it was like the weight on their shoulder was suddenly lifted.

Now he can confirm why everyone from Fate is so loyal to her.

She helped them from the darkness and guided them to the light of a new fate that awaited them.

His thumb gently caresses her hand, and he looks down at their joined hands.

He doesn't want to be like her subordinates. He wants to be the one to reach his hand out to her and have her take it. To let her know that even though she is the light for others, he will always be her light.

Unaware of the thoughts going on Lu Tian's head, Yue Ling also looks down at their joined hands. Feeling something was not right, she raises both their hands.

"Why is your hand so cold?"

Ignoring any stares directed at them, she parts her lip and blows her warm breath on his hand.

"See, you are as cold as a ghost."

She chuckles lightly and continues to warm his hand. Once she felt it had reached the temperature, she looks up at him with a smile that reached her eyes.

"Now, you're human again."

Lu Tian smiles at her childlike demeanor. He suddenly leans closer to her as he felt the need to kiss her.

"Aiya!"

However, Just when he was inches away from capturing her lip, his mother's loud voice sounds to interrupt them.

Yue Ling turns her head away from him, not knowing she had dodged his kiss.

"Ah Ling, come. There are too many dresses here. We can't decide and need your opinion as a fashion designer."

Madam Lu walks over to the couple. She ignores her son like he wasn't there and takes Yue Ling's hand. She also didn't forget to lightly push her son away.

"Come, let us go. We have the rest of the day to find a dress for you."

Yue Ling was baffled by the older woman. However, she doesn't think much and lets Madam Lu lead her away.

As the warmth of her hand leaves him, Lu Tian felt like the light shining down on him was slowly being engulfed in darkness.

It was like they were acting a scene from a romantic drama of two people who can't be together. Lu Tian looked like the man who can only watch as the woman he loves is being dragged away.

Watching his wife walk further away, he could only sigh again. His wife really is the light to his world. A short separation from her felt like years without her.

If he wants to be her light, he has a long way to go.

Sighing again, he thought back to how close he was to be able to kiss her. Just a few more inches and he would have been able to taste her lips.

A sulking expression appears on his face, and he glares at the perpetrator—his mother.

However, when he saw her, his entire being was shocked by the God of Dumbfounded.

Madam Lu was continually turning her head back to peek at her son. When she saw him finally look her way, she gave him a glare with an expression full of arrogance.

She didn't need to utter a sound as her face said it all.

'Better luck next time, and how dare you sneak an attempt to kiss my precious daughter-in-law without approval.'

Lu Tian shook his head at his mother. He rubs his forehead as if to rid of any feelings and chuckles to himself.

He knew that his mother had called him to join them for lunch because she was losing the fight with his aunt and cousin. Yet, she actually took advantage of his appearance to steal his wife's attention.

Lowering his hand, he lifts one leg and then another as he strides after his wife. If he fights with his mother, his wife will be angry with him, so he'll hold back for now.

As Yue Ling and Madam Lu's figure disappear further into the store with Lu Tian following, two female employees watched in awe.

In their eyes, Lu Tian looked like a knight in shining armor set out to save his princess from the evil and wicked witch.

"The news wasn't lying when they said Han Yue Ling and Lu Tian are getting married. Anyone can see how in love they are."

"I thought it was just a rumor. The photos released could have been taken from one of Han Yue Ling's photoshoots for a magazine, but now that I can witness their love in person, I can say goodbye to the rumors."

Both employees squeal in happiness. Forgetting they were at work, their reactions were like two fangirls at a meet and greet.

However, quickly remembering where they were, they giggle quietly and thank their job.

Not only are their bills paid, but they even got the chance to see the love between the two people, many envy and idolizes.
