Chapter 214 Ending their relationship

————-

As the day turn into night, some people gathered in the streets of Imperial for dinner or to meet with friends. Others simply enjoying a relaxed time at home.

However, inside Jade Condos’s penthouse 1503, the living room was very intense. Laying on his bed by the floor to ceiling window is the white fluff ball, Inu. His head rested on his front paws as he stare at the two people who just came in.

Sitting on one of the white couches is the cold business king, Lu Tian. On the other couch is the retired supermodel, Han Yue Ling.

Lu Tian sat with a straight face. His look was one like someone who did not care at all. However, behind his cold mask, he did not dare to look at his wife. If one was to look closer, one would see the tiny beads of sweat forming on his forehead. Her words, ’we need to talk’ was the scariest thing ever.

’We need to talk’ could mean anything.

Who would of thought that the almighty and ruthless king of the business world would be afraid of his wife...

If his subordinates were here, just how will they react to this side of him.

Unlike Lu Tian, Yue Ling leaned against the couch with her arms crossed over her chest. She glance at the man and maintain to hide her urge to laugh.

Was she really that scary?

Clearing her throat, she decides to not beat around the bush.

Yue Ling: "Tian—"

Lu Tian: "Yes."

Yue Ling: "..."

Lu Tian quickly answers like a robot ready for his creator’s command. He does not want to anger his wife any more than he already has.

Sighing, Yue Ling slightly turn herself to the man. Straightening her posture, she continues her words.

"We can’t keep doing this."

Hearing his wife’s words, Lu Tian’s eyes darken and the space between his brows crease into three lines.

"What are you trying to say?"

Lu Tian’s cold eyes looks to his wife. What does she mean? Is she.... ending their relationship? Why? Is it because he was driving recklessly? Shit! He knows it was his fault, he had not only put his wife in danger, but also their child... How can he be such a bad father already?

"I know I messed up, but I promise there won’t be a next time. I didn’t meant to put you and—"

Catching himself, he coughs and continue.

"I didn’t mean to put you in danger, so don’t say you’re going to leave or end our relationship. I don’t like the thought of you falling for another man. Nor can I bare to watch you be near one."

"..."

Yue Ling stare at the man with heavy eyes. Each word that escapes Lu Tian’s lip were like arrows lowering her high EQ and IQ.

Danger? What danger? Another man? What man? She was going to leave? When?

Sighing, she looks directly at Lu Tian. Her expression serious like she was going to tell the world’s most deepest secret.

"Tian, we seriously NEED this talk."

She stretched the word ’need’ and stood from her seat. Taking three steps, she stops in front of the man. She slightly bend forward and lower her head meet Lu Tian at eye level. Placing one fist on her hip, she points her other hand at him.

"Why are you always eating vinegar?"

Lu Tian struggle a gulp in difficulty. He pout his lip and mumble.

"That’s because you’re too out of my league...."

Hearing his words, Yue Ling’s eyes turned heavy. If she wasn’t trying to be serious right now, she would of let herself fall.

Uh... she’s too out of his league? How is that even possible?

Sighing, she move her index finger towards him.

"Let me be clear with you. The man I like the most living on this earth is LU TIAN."

Her index finger taps on Lu Tian’s hard chest.

"We may have met under horrible circumstances, but I still like him the most. When he kisses me, I know that I am the only person he has in his heart."

She continuously taps her index finger again and again.

"When I am in his arms, I know I have found my safe haven. The way he says my name, I know I am safe and he will never speak ill of me."

Each time the tip of her finger touches his chest, she adds more strength in her finger. Like she wants to nail every word into his heart.

"Because he is a man of words and always handsome at all times, he knows how to make me happy. Even when he is cold or shameless. I don’t just like him, I also love him."

Taking a deep breath, she straightens herself.

"Do you have any objections?"

"...."

Lu Tian rendered speechless. He stare at the beautiful face in front of him and followed her every moves. Tilting his head, he looks up at her.

Every word she had said were like arrows piercing straight into his heart. Except, these arrows weren’t arrows of pain, they were arrows sent from Cupid, making him feel more love for the woman.

Gulping his saliva to hide his smile of happiness, he answers her with his cheeks slightly red.

"I do not."

Yue Ling scoffs in sarcastic. She could see the happiness radiating from the man like the bright sun on a summer day. Crossing her arms, she gets to the point.

"So, I need to talk to you about something. Do you want to listen or not?"

Looking up at his wife, the corner of Lu Tian’s lip curl into a small smile. He reach his hand out and grab her hand. Pulling her down, but gently, he positioned her on his lap.

"I was born to hear it."

Yue Ling rolled her eyes at the man. Adjusting her body to face him, she takes a deep breath.

"I want to move out."

"..."

Hearing her sudden words, Lu Tian felt like a blown balloon suddenly popped by a sharp needle. He was just happy and not even seconds after, he’s already angry? His face turned ten shades darker. She wants to move out? Hmmf! As if he’ll let her, especially not after her love confession to him.

He wraps his arms around the slender woman sitting on his lap. His lips pressed tightly together to hold himself back from saying something unnecessary.

Yue Ling couldn’t help but smile and let a soft chuckle escape her mouth. Lifting one hand, she lightly flicks the man on the forehead.

"Silly, I meant us."

"..."

Ahh... And once again, Lu Tian was speechless. He frown with a chaotic mind at his wife. For someone with high EQ and IQ, he somehow couldn’t process everything she had said. She didn’t want to move out by herself, she meant the both of them.

Seeing Lu Tian still stuck in lalaland, Yue Ling could only sigh again. She can’t even count the amount of times she had sighed since this conversation.

Wiggling herself in the man’s arms, she place both palms on the man’s cheeks. Her bluish green eyes stare intently at his dark black eyes.

"I want us to move because it won’t just be you, me and Inu anymore."

Lu Tian’s eyes waiver at each word. Even though he knew that his wife was pregnant, hearing her tell him meant even more. He could feel his heart leap into the universe and back into his body.

No, he is so happy, he can run to the end of the world and back!

He stare at the mesmerizing face in front of him for a long time without blinking. So this is how a it feels to hear from your significant other that you are going to be a father.....

Yue Ling tilt her head and frown. Lu Tian’s reaction wasn’t really what she had anticipated. She didn’t want to tell him yet, but it was better to do so now. Especially after the car ride, she can’t let any kind of harm come to the little bean inside her. Besides, letting Lu Tian know, he can be more cautious too.

However.... Wouldn’t a man jump in joy over the news? Or shout in happiness? How come he is...

Glancing at the man in a daze, Yue Ling tells him again.

"Tian, I’m preg—-mm!"

Before she could finish the word ’pregnant’, Lu Tian’s lip captures her. One hand embrace her closer to him as his other hand held the back of her nape. His kiss was gentle, yet passionate at the same time.

Yue Ling froze in surprise for a short moment. Her body softens and she close her eyes. Bringing her arms up, she wraps around Lu Tian’s neck and kiss him back.

Just from his kiss, she could feel his happiness. Even if he didn’t say anything, this one kiss was enough proof.
