In back seat of a black car, Yue Ling held her chin and stare out the window. Buildings of every aspect stood it's ground as the car drove pass.
She sighed at the way people walk the streets like they're having a good time.
Although she's been in Imperial during her modeling days, she has never really explored it. Even now that she is living here, she doesn't know what to do.
Should she give a call to Zhao Ya'Er?
But then again, they're not that close... Thinking of something, her eyes lit up.
However, when she move her sight from the window, she glance down at her hand that is still being held. Tracing the hand, her eyes follow up the arm then to the face of the owner.
Lu Tian sat with one leg cross over the other in a four figure. His expression was as cold as ice. The space between his brows was creased into three faint lines. On his lap was a laptop as his other hand types on top of the keyboard.
His posture, the way he looks, she couldn't help look at him in awe. Remembering that he is a businessman, she knit her brows.
Does a businessman even know how to have fun?
Noticing his beautiful wife staring at him, Lu Tian stops typing. Turning to look directly at her, his cold expression softened.
"What's wrong?"
Yue Ling held her gaze with the man. Her eyes that looked like the ocean surrounding a tropical island held admiration. The way she looked was full of appreciation at the man.
Coming out of her daze, she shook her head.
"It's nothing."
Knowing that she was hiding what she wanted to say, Lu Tian closed the laptop. He fixed his eyes on her.
"Don't hide your thoughts from me. Whatever it is, just say it."
Looking him in the eye, Yue Ling felt tiny little ants crawl on her skin. Clearing her throat, she takes a deep breath.
"Tian, I want to explore Imperial."
"...."
Lu Tian did not know whether to laugh or cry. She had stare so intensely at him, he thought it was something serious. Sighing inside, he tilt his head.
"Where do you want to go?"
"Mmm..."
She touched her chin and ponder in thoughts. Where does she want go? Even she doesn't know.
"You pick."
Lu Tian arch a brow. She wants him to pick? But he's never done anything except work and meetings.
Should he bring her to Lu Corps then?
Wait.... that won't do.
Let her stay with him during his meetings?
No, that won't do either...
Where should he take her?
This time, it was Lu Tian who was pondering in thoughts of where to take his wife.
Thinking of something, he gave himself a thumbs up inside. Looking back at his wife, he said with confidence look.
"Lets go on a day off."
"Mm."
Yue Ling smiles at the man, then she turn her head and stare back out the window. Deep inside, she was laughing inside. She had seen the change of expressions on his face and she knew that Lu Tian probably didn't know where to go either. Of course, he might even ask his assistant to look up places.
And she was correct. Lu Tian opened his laptop and continue to work. However, inside his head, he decided that when he returns to work, he will have Xu Long search for places. Not only that, it will also give him an idea of where would be the perfect place to propose. Of course, he still needed an answer from H International first.
As the couple enjoyed each other's presence in silence, in another part of Imperial, a certain family was in chaos.
Well, more like the mother of the family.
"Why isn't he here? Does he not know that the birthday banquet is coming up? There's so much to prepare!"
Madam Lu flung her arms in the air as she paced back in forth in the living room. Her expression changed from normal to annoyance to nervous and it repeats again.
"What if he decides not to go?"
Saying the question, her chest heaved up and down as her expression turned grimace.
"No! He must go, I must introduce him to grandfather Ji's granddaughter."
"Ma, why are you being so noisy again?"
Lu Han spoke as he walks into the livingroom with a piece of egg tart in his mouth. Looking at his mother, he shook his head and sat down on the sofa.
"Han, you dare to call me noisy? I just want your brother to settle down. Your father and I aren't young anymore."
Madam Lu glares at her youngest son. So what if she is noisy? What mother isn't?!
Stomping her feet, she sits in the other sofa. Lifting her hand, she massages her temple. She swore, her two sons will probably be the death of her....
Looking at her youngest son, she snort with her glaring daggers. Swinging her head, she quickly massages her temples again, this time with more strength.
"....."
Lu Han stare at his mother with heavy eyes. Chewing the egg tart in his mouth, he glance down at himself.
There's nothing wrong with the way he is dress. Frowning, he touches his face. Nope, nothing wrong either. Turning his head, he looks behind him. Nope, nothing there either.
Looking back at his mom, he tilt his head in wander.
Who was his mother looking at with such a deadly glare?
Shuddering in goosebumps, he stood up from the sofa. He swallow his food and smiles to his mother.
"Ma, if there's nothing then I'm going home. Your noble son here had a very long day."
Not waiting for a response, Lu Han switch on his turbo and race his way out of the livingroom. Since his older brother isn't here, there's no need for him to be here too.
Besides, without Lu Tian here, who knows what their mother will do to him.
"Don't you even think about it."
However, just when he lift a leg to escape, a thunderous voice roared from the sky. Making every hair on his body stand.
"....."
Rooted to the ground, he dart his head from left to right, then he looks up and down. Pursing his lips, he furrow his brows and scratch the back of his head.
In a whisper, he spoke to himself.
"Who said that? Sounded like an angry old man...."
"You dare to call me a old man!"
"...."
Ice cold water splash onto Lu Han. Feeling sweat drenching his body, his head robotically turn to look at the owner of the voice.
When his eyes met the person's deathly glare, he force a smile and laughs sarcastically.
"Heh heh, ma...."
Madam Lu glare at her son with daggers. If this idiot wasn't her son, she would have punched him for calling her a old man.
"Hmmf, you know how to call me 'ma'?"
"Heh heh, I was just kidding."
Lu Han quickly answers his mother. She was already mad that Lu Tian was not here, how could he be so stupid to angry her more.
Madam Lu scoffs at her youngest son. Slamming her palm on the sofa handrest, she stood up. Taking one last look at her son, she swings her head and walks out of the living.
"Leave if you want. I'll have all the egg tarts to myself."
Without looking back, her figure disappears into the kitchen, leaving behind a dumbfounded Lu Han. He stare in the direction his mother went. How could he not know what she was planning? Did she think some egg tarts will work on him?
However....
"Ma! I was just kidding!! I'm not leaving!!"
He bolted in the direction of the kitchen at full speed. He knows his mother and she will definitely eat all the egg tarts.
The only thing he can do now is hope his older brother comes back home. Who knows how much he can take this torture for the both of them.
As the mother and son duo leave the living room, they had forgotten that there was still another person left behind.
Old Lu sat on the sofa with a dumbfounded expression. Did his wife and youngest son really forgot that he was here too?
How can he, the head of the Lu family be treated this way?
But then again, if his family wasn't like this, it would be weird. He rather they act this way, than eating each other alive.
Shaking his head, he stood from his seat. Placing his hands behind his back, he follows in pursuit after the duo.
