Chapter 119 I’ll take care of this

———————

Lu Tian glares at the kid as he shoves all the bags into the cart. He wasn’t the king of the business world for nothing. Just seeing the kid’s expression, he was able to know that the kid is fond of his wife.

Even if it wasn’t in a romantic way, it was still fond.

Turning to look at Yue Ling, he ignores her dumbfounded expression and grabs her hand.

"Come WIFE, let’s go."

"..."

Lu Tian made sure to emphasize the word ’wife’ too. Not just emphasizing, he said it loud and clear, as if wanting everyone near to hear.

He could careless about how he looks at this moment. If he can, he wants to shout to the whole world that Han Yue Ling is his love.

"..."

Watching his two idols leave out the supermarket, the young man’s jaw dropped to the floor. Did he hear wrong? Or.... the almighty business king just called the well known supermodel his wife...

What in the world just happened?!!

———

Lu Tian helps the still dumbfounded Yue Ling into, then he puts the grocery bags in the trunk and gets in the driver seat.

After a long moment of silence, Yue Ling slowly turn her head to look at the man who either, knows no shame or is the King of Jealousy.

Looking at the handsome man driving her car, she frowns remember what he had said earlier in the store. She couldn’t explain this strange feeling growing inside of her.

"Why did you call me that back there?"

Hearing her, Lu Tian’s eyes remain on the road.

"I’m your boyfriend."

Coming to a red light, he stops the car and turn to look at Yue Ling.

"Sooner or later, I’ll be your husband and you will be my wife."

’Husband and wife...’

Lu Tian’s words floated inside Yue Ling’s head. He had said it to calmly, as if they had been in love for years and she was the only person in his heart...

As the light turns green and Lu Tian focus back in front of the road, Yue Ling rest her head against the headrest and stare out the window.

Those words were ones that stabs her heart with thousands of arrows. Like a taboo to a dream she once dreamed to have....

Lu Tian has been really good to her... but is he really serious? To say it like he’s thinking of proposing to her... They’ve just met....

Should she tell everyone back in Korea about Lu Tian? What will her Yeye and Jingxu think?

What about Lu Tian? How will he feel if she tells him about Shin?

———

Reaching Jade Condos, Yue Ling and Lu Tian carries the bags up to their shared penthouse. The moment Lu Tian opened the door, all they saw was a fluffy white ball jumping everywhere.

"Woof! Woof!"

’Yay!!! Mommy’s back!!!’

Inu runs around his mommy with his fluffy white tail wagging excitedly. He felt as if he had been separated from his mommy for hundreds of years!

Seeing her baby’s cute reaction, Yue Ling quickly put the bags on the counter. Squatting down, she hugs her baby and exclaims happily.

"My baby! Oh, I’m so sorry for leaving you all alone. Did you miss me?"

"Woof! Woof!!"

From the kitchen, Lu Tian glares at Inu. He already ate vinegar at the store, did he really have to eat more vinegar here?!

*Ring ring*

Both Yue Ling and Inu quickly turn their head to Yue Ling’s handbag that was on the kitchen counter. Yue Ling frown and Inu glares at the sound of the phone ringing.

"It’s mine."

Lu Tian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. As the saying goes, ’Like mother, like daughter’... ah.. son..

’Like mother, like son?’

Yue Ling felt like a complete idiot. Coincidently, Lu Tian has the same ringtone as her phone.

"Oh, heh heh, it was your phone."

Inu was bummed out at first hearing the ringtone. It means no more time with his mommy, but seeing that it is the evil peasant’s phone, he was relieved. Looking at the enemy, his expression read, ’Finally, you did something right again.’

Lu Tian sighed inside and looks down at the screen. Seeing who it was, he frown.

"I need to take this call."

"Mm."

While Lu Tian takes the call in the study room, Yue Ling feeds Inu his food, then she starts to put away the things they bought.

Just when she finish with the first bag, Lu Tian walks out of the room. His expression was as cold and aloof as always, but Yue Ling could see the annoyance in his dark eyes.

"Everything okay?"

Lu Tian sighs and run his hand through his hair, messing it up.

"My father. He wants me to return him for a bit."

Hearing the annoyance in the man’s voice, Yue Ling felt confused. It was normal for parents to want their children to go home?

Looking at Lu Tian, she really envies him for being able to use those words.

Parents... father... mother....

How she yearns to say those words again....

Letting out a small sigh, she smiles at him, "You should go. I’ll still be here when you return."

No matter how annoying one’s parents may be, they are the reason why one was given life.

Seeing her smile full of warmth that he loves, Lu Tian really doesn’t want to leave. Why would he go to the Lu Household when he can stay here with the woman he loves?

But... remembering his father saying it was important, he knows he needed to go.

"I won’t be long."

He press his lip on Yue Ling’s forehead, then reluctantly, he leaves out the door.

Turning back to the grocery bags, Yue Ling continues to put away the things. Inu, however, was running around in blissful joy.

"Woof! Woof!"

’Yay!! The evil peasant is gone!! It’s just me and mommy now!!’

However....

*Ring Ring*

*Baaaam*

Inu crashes into the wall and looks around, searching with glaring eyes for the sound he hates.

’Did that evil peasant not leave?!!’

Yue Ling chuckles at her baby. Reaching into her bag, she takes her phone out. Seeing who was calling, she frown.

’Ji Mansion’

"Did something happen?"

Usually when it was her grandfather or Jingxu calling, they’d normally call from their own phones. Not thinking much, she answers the call.

"Hello, Han Yue Ling speaking."

["Young Miss... umm, is young master with you?"]

Yue Ling frown at the question, "Jingxu is not with me. Housekeeper Hu, did something happen at the Ji Mansion?"

["No... no, nothing happened. I was just—"]

"Speak."

On the other line, Housekeeper Hu could feel cold sweat sliding down his old face. He was scared of Old Man Ji, but Han Yue Ling was different. She was a very nice and polite girl, but she can also be someone’s worst nightmare.

She could be more colder than Old Man Ji.

Swallowing his saliva, he wipes the sweat from his forehead. He knew he was left with no other choice but to explain everything.

["Y-Young Miss, it’s like this—"]

————

From start to end, Yue Ling did not say a word but listens to Housekeeper Hu’s words attentively. However, her eyes darken one shade darker after another.

Her peaceful aura from before was gone.

"Tell Yeye to rest. I’ll take care of this."

["Yes, Young Miss."]

Ending the call, she clench her phone tightly and her expression turn cold and dangerous. Not waiting for time, she dials a number.

Just after one ring, someone pick up from the other line.

["CEO Han, what can I do for you?"]

"Locate Jingxu."

Not waiting, Yue Ling hangs up the phone and grabs a black coat from her closet room. Putting it on as she walks out, she looks at Inu.

"Stráž."

Hearing the word, Inu’s happy demeanor quickly changes. Like a dog trained in the battlefield, he becomes serious.

"Wroof!"

Yue Ling pats Inu’s head, then grabs her handbag and leaves.

Getting inside her car, she speeds out of Jade Condos garage parking. As she drives to her designated place, she call Liu Shan.

["Hi Boss!!!"]

"Kodeu Ledeu."

Hearing Yue Ling’s order, the jolly tone Liu Shan had when he answered the call disappears. His tone now was serious and dangerous.

["Where?"]

"De L’amour. Ten minutes."
