Arriving in Imperial, Lu Tian did not waste any time to get back to Jade Condos. He shoves Jiangyu and Yiqing into the back seat as he took the wheel. He sped through the streets like a manic, crossing every red light as there were less cars at this time of the night. He ignores his dumbfounded subordinates in the back and made the thirty-minute drive into ten minutes.
Stopping in front of Jade Condos, the car comes to a screeching stop and he flung the driver door open. Paying yet again, no attention to the two people in the back seat. He rushes out and enters the lobby without a care about the heavy rain pouring onto him.
"….."
Watching their boss leave in a hurry, Yiqing rest his head on his palm to calm his dizzy head while Jiangyu quickly opens the door. His body slumps onto the ground like a bad of potatoes and he sighs in relief when he felt the touch of hard land.
"Land... Finall... Woo—"
Suddenly, he feels the tingling sensation in his head travel to his stomach. Before he could calm himself, that sensations rise to the back of his throat and he vomits.
"Woooo--!"
Yiqing glance at the bulky man through the gaps of his fingers. He shook his head and close his eyes. He had always known Jiangyu to be a tough guy, but who wouldn't want to vomit after experiencing their boss's insane driving.
Even he feels like throwing up.
Oblivious to his subordinates left in the car, Lu Tian strides inside the lobby. He planned to take the stairs, but sees it packed with his team members.
Although he knew it was slow, he ended up taking the elevator.
Standing at the stairwell, a member of Wolf Team sees Lu Tian and he was dumbfounded.
"Eh, isn't that the Captain? I thought he was in City Z."
*Ding!*
The elevator door slides open and Lu Tian's dark eyes stares ahead. He did not need to search because he had already found the one person who can ease his mind.
"Captain!"
"The Captain's here!"
Members of Wolf Team were surprised to see the man, but at they same time were also happy. However, the man they called out to did not give them any attention.
Lu Tian walks out of the elevator and takes big strides in the direction of his wife. He needs to confirm that she and their child are safe.
At the same time, Wolf Team quickly moves to the side to allow their almighty Captain through.
As Wolf Team slowly clears a path, Yue Ling could not look away from the direction of the elevator. Through that path that was slowly made, her heart could not help but pound as it echoes inside her body to her ears.
*B-dump*
It was like everyone on the fifteenth floor had vanished and they were the only two people left.
*B-dump*
He is truly the man who can make any women suffer a heartattack.
*B-dump*
Even his damped hair added more attractiveness to his alluring devilish features.
*B-dumb*
Her bluish green eyes met his dark pupils and she couldn't help but swallow her dry throat.
*B-dump*
Suddenly, Lu Tian's tall figure stops in front of her and without giving her any warnings, he pulls her into an embrace. One hand wrap around her wait while the other held the back of her head.
Yue Ling was caught off guard and place both her hands on his hard chest. She was at a loss for words. However, she struggles another gulp and utter.
"Tian, why are you here? I thought— mm—"
Before she could finish her words, Lu Tian's lip had already sealed hers. His kiss was gentle, but it was like he had poured his entire heart into it. It was the cure for the uneasy feeling inside him.
Yue Ling's eyes widen in surprise. She could feel herself soften but, that still did not calm her beating heart. Her cheeks burned into redness when she remembers the other people around.
However, Lu Tian turns a blind eye to the surrounding people. He deepens the kiss and embrace her tighter as if she was going to disappear within his grasp.
All the members of Wolf Team were rendered speechless. Their jaw drops to the ground when they saw their highly respected Captain embrace the lady boss.
They were already surprised when they learned they had a lady boss. Even they were curious about the woman who tamed the cold man who was never involved with any women.
However, the moment they saw their Captain kiss the lady boss, they were even more speechless. They couldn't help but blush and look away from the dog food fed to them. Some stare at the wall, while others stare down at the ground. Each person quickly distracting themselves with things to so.
At the same time, Lin Hui and Xu Long blush at the intimacy of their bosses. Both men quickly advert their eyes away.
Xu Long slightly leans to the side and whispers to Lin Hui.
"New family, want to go grab a few drinks? I know a good place."
Lin Hui who was looking down at his shoes touch the tip of his nose as if to brush the flush away from his face.
"If the place you say is good then I don't see why I should I object. Also, my name is Lin Hui, not new family."
Inu sat at the side and rolls his eyes. He could only cry inside as he realizes his precious time with his favorite human had come to an end.
Like everyone else, Manager Luo couldn't help but blush. He is already in his prime, but he will never understand the intimacy of young people these days.
He sees the awkwardness around, and he clears his throat.
"Ahem—"
Hearing the sudden cough, Lu Tian was annoyed, but he reluctantly pulls away from his wife. However, he does not move his arm around her waist as he gaze intensely at her.
His hand holding the back of her head slowly moves to the side of her face and his thumb gently caress her cheek. Without a care about the people around, he leans down and kiss her forehead.
Yue Ling felt herself blush more and she gently hits his chest. He had hugged her so tight that her clothes are now slightly damp.
"Tian, you're making me wet."
"…."
Lu Tian had just moved away from her when he hears her words. He arches a brow and stares down at her with amusement.
"Seems like you've become more shameless than me."
"….."
Yue Ling was dumbfounded. She furrows her brows as she thought about his words. Realizing Lu Tian had shamelessly misinterpreted her words, her face reddens and hits his chest again.
"T-Tian, y-you… That's not what I meant."
Lu Tian quickly catches her hand that was about to land on his chest. Raising it up, he kisses the back of her hand and chuckles. He was clearly teasing her, yet, who knew she would act so cute.
Behind the couple, the members of Wolf Team stares in wide eye at another disbelief. They have never heard their Captain laugh, let alone smile. Yet, here he is, laughing and smiling while feeding them dog food.
Oblivious to his men, Lu Tian decides to stop teasing his wife. He looks at Xu Long and Manager Luo. His expression had returned to its usual straightness, as if the him seconds ago was only in their imagination.
"Thank you for checking on her."
He then looks at Lin Hui and nod his head.
"Same to you. Thanks for keeping a look out."
Lin Hui looks at the tall man and he nonchalantly shrug his shoulder.
"It's nothing, she's my boss, so her safety comes first. Besides, someone already called to le—eh"
Just as he spoke without a care, his eyes widen, and he stares at Lu Tian. His mouth opens and close like a fish on dry land. He gasps aloud and his bottom lip tremble.
"Y-You're the person…"
Yue Ling furrow her brows and looks at Lin Hui. Before she could confirm her thoughts, his voice continues.
"Boss, it's him! It's definitely him, I remembered his voice! He is the person from the strange call!"
Yue Ling arch her brows and looks at Lu Tian. Did he know that something like this was going to happen? Was that why he organized his men and Uncle Luo? Then, why didn't he tell her?
Lu Tian doesn't say anything and looks away from Lin Hui. His head lower to the fluff ball at the side and squat down to eye level.
Although he had ordered his men to protect his wife, it was really this little guy who he counted on the most.
He pat Inu on the head and a faint smile curls on his lip.
"Thanks for protecting them."
"Wroof--!"
Inu answers in annoyance at his enemy, it was like the Samoyed was saying, 'I don't need you to tell me, I would have protected them even if you didn't ask.'
He maintained his indifferent noble aura, however, at the same time, he couldn't help but rub his against the enemy's palm.
Manager Luo smiles at the scene in front of him. He can see that Lu Tian really cares about Yue Ling. If he didn't, he wouldn't have ordered his men to keep watch.
Thinking this, he remembers that Yue Ling's penthouse is now under renovations. He sigh inside and interrupts the lively atmosphere.
"Ah, Miss Han, let me show you to your temporary lodging until your penthouse is ready."
Hearing his words, Yue Ling nods a smile at the old man. She part her lip to speak, but before she could say anything, Lu Tian stood up and he spoke first.
"No need to, Manager Luo."
He held his wife's hand and points in the direction behind him towards the elevator.
"We can stay at my penthouse."
Manager Luo could not help but laugh heartily. He had forgotten that Lu Tian and Yue Ling were neighbors. He waves his hand out to the two people and laughs again.
"Alright, you two get going. My team will clean up the mess here."
Lu Tian nod his head and turns to leave with his wife in hand. Without looking at the fluff ball, he calls out.
"You too Inu."
"Wroof— Wroof-- Wroof--!"
'What do you mean 'you too', I go wherever my favorite human goes!'
Inu runs after the two humans and he barks at the man as if talking to him.
"Wroof-- Wroof-- Wroof!'
'Evil peasant, you lied to me! You said I get to spend a few days with my mommy! Why are you back so soon?'
Inu's barks as he vent his anger out, but his barking did not reach Lu Tian. Each bark went in one ear and out the other.
As Lu Tian pass his team, he made sure to praise their good work. Dismissing them, he unlocks the door to his penthouse and enters with his wife and Inu.
Watching the three figures disappear behind the door, Manager Luo enters Yue Ling's penthouse. He decides to end his night by helping his team clean up.
At the same time, Xu Long's mouth open and he gasps aloud. He had thought Inu was a human guy! Turns out, Inu is a beast guy! Oh God, he can only pray for his boss. After all, seeing how Inu is so fluffy and adorable, his boss has one hell of a competitor.
Until the members of Wolf Team were no longer in sight and the fifteenth floor had return to its usual quietness, Xu Long close his mouth and turn to look at Lin Hui. His elbow nudge the man and he grins.
"Still up for that drink?"
Lin Hui looks at the goofball assistant. He thought back to the man's quick reflexes and he must admit, the man is truly worthy of being Lu Tian's assistant. After all, one should never judge a book by its cover.
Ending his thoughts, he turns to leave and head for the elevator.
"You're paying."
