Unexpected Second Chance at Love

——

After Yue Ling ate the breakfast Lu Tian cooked for her, she applied her everyday makeup and went into her closet room to change. She styled her hair in a low messy bun, allowing strands of loose hair to frame her sculpted face.

Today wasn't as cold like yesterday, so she decided to wear a black loose knitted sweater with a black mini a-line skirt. Pairing her outfit were her black Chanel leather thigh highs boots, along with some silver necklace to add a touch of chic to her outfit.

Once she finished transferring all her things from her LV neverfull tote to her black Hermès Birkin bag, she was ready to go.

*ring ring*

Just when she step out of her penthouse, her phone rang. Glancing down at the caller id she was dumbstruck to the maximum.

'Liu Shan, the great'

"...."

She never paid any attention to her phone list, but seeing who was calling, she was sure Liu Shan was the one who added words to his name. After all, he got her the new phone to replace her old one that disappeared without a trace.

Shaking her head, she swipe the phone and answers normally as she steps into the elevator.

"Speak."

["uhhh, Boss, is someone going to die again? Why do you sound so angry?"]

"What is it, Liu Shan.... the great?"

She made to sure to emphasize 'the great' part for Liu Shan to hear.

["....."]

"...."

["Heh heh, I am the greatest huh?"]

"If it makes you happy, I'll agree."

Her tone was indifferent, but it held a glint of sarcasm.

["*sniff* I was just kidding boss, no need to agree.... anyways, I called to tell you that I've found more information on Ning Mei, also I'll be dropping Inu off in the afternoon instead."

Hearing this, Yue Ling frown, but then, she still need to meet someone today, so it was okay.

"Mm. Keep an eye on her, don't make a move until I say so. And make sure Inu has everything he needs. Don't forget to feed him and play with him."

["Roger, Boss!!"]

Yue Ling ended the call with the elevator doors opening. Stepping out, she sees Ting working the front desk. She couldn't help but wonder... Today is a Saturday and he's working.. no, he was always working, like the afternoon till night.

"Good morning, Miss Han!" He greets her with blushing cheeks and bright eyes.

Yue Ling smiles at the young man with a nod, "Good morning, Ting."

She stayed and chatted with him for a bit out of politeness. Throughout their chat, she learned quite a bit of the boy. He's just been accepted to a top university in China, but because his family wasn't rich, he ended up working to pay his tuition fees that his scholarship couldn't cover. For the boy, it was school, work, homework and repeat. He even asked Old Lou for more work hours instead of going out to fool around.

After their little chat, she bid goodbye and walk to her car. Ting reminded her of Jingxu, just that Ting was older. Thinking of it, she decided she will give Ting a gratitude gift, to help him from his struggles. It's the least she can do for him, after all, he treated Yue Ling with pure kindness and not the fake kind of kindness some people give.

Stopping in front of her car, she couldn't help but sigh heavily.

It wasn't that she didn't like her x5m. She just miss the feeling of being in a fast car, the feeling of taking the steering wheel and shifting each gear when she press on the accelerator and clutch.

How she envies Lu Tian for being able to drive his beauty.... her cars need to hurry and get transported here.

Suddenly, her eyes sparkled as brightly as the sun, 'Maybe, if I ask him later, he'll let me test drive it!'

With her heart pumping in a wonderful mood, she gets inside her car and drive out of the parking garage.

Her plan today is to meet an old seller and do some shopping for Inu.

Once she returns home, Liu Shan should be on his way to drop off her baby.
