The afternoon sky turned red as the sun slowly began to set in the far horizon. Inside the study room of Lu Tian and Yue Ling's new house, both individuals stood in silence. At the open doorway, Inu laid down as he stares at the two peasants with a face full of curiosity.
After their lunch, the small family had spent the remaining afternoon outside. A while later, Lu Tian said he had a surprise for his wife, so they came inside.
Now in the study room, Yue Ling stares down at the 'surprise' in front of her and she didn't know what to feel at this moment.
Lu Tian's surprise was her luggage and handbag!
The two items she had 'lost' when she first arrived in Imperial. To which, both things were in Lu Tian's hands. Of course, she was supposed to retrieve them when she went to Lu Corps for the first time, but things got... a little out of control.
Turning to look at the man standing next to her, Yue Ling couldn't help but chuckle.
"This is the surprise?"
"Mm."
Lu Tian nod his head with a short answer. However, his expression was like a puppy waiting to be praised for doing a good job.
Staring at him, she pout her lip for a quick second and said thank you. Doing so, she lowers to sit on the floor. At the same time, Lu Tian did the same thing too.
He would be lying if he wasn't curious about what was inside.
From the moment he brought her belongings from the airport, he kept hearing a jingling sound inside. He had contemplated whether to open it or not, but he never did. He was never one to go through someone else's things without approval.
Although most people would find it odd to have someone see what they have, but Yue Ling did mind at all. She has nothing to hide from Lu Tian.
Reaching for the zipper, she slowly unzips the suitcase.
From the side, Lu Tian looked like a noisy child who wanted to see everything his sibling had. While from the doorway, Inu also poke his head out to see what was inside his mother's luggage.
Fully unzipping the luggage, Yue Ling opens it with a wide grin. She reaches down and her hands gently caress over the things inside. Her movement looked like someone who was afraid of touching an ancient item too much in fear that it might turn into dust.
However, unlike her, Lu Tian and Inu were stupefied. Both individuals at this moment looked like two children who had opened the worst gift during Christmas morning.
They had thought something extraordinary was inside, but it was only a bunch of keys.
Although, these keys weren't just thrown inside the suitcase, they were actually hung in an organized order.
Oblivious to the man and Samoyed's feelings, Yue Ling carefully picks up a set of keys with slightly trembling hands and rubs it against her cheek. Feeling the coldness of they key on her cheek, she sighs in satisfaction. It was as if she was holding onto the world's most valuable treasure.
"My babies are safe and sound."
Lu Tian: "…"
Inu: "…"
Glancing down to see another set of keys, she picks it up with her still trembling hands and place it next to her other cheek. Her eyes slowly close and she turned into a mother who had finally been reunited with her long-lost child after decades of separation.
"My beautiful babies! How mommy misses you all so much."
Lu Tian stares at his wife with a complex expression. Unable to comprehend with her thoughts, he purse his lip and turn to look at the Samoyed.
Laying at the doorway, Inu wasn't much less of a difference from his enemy. However, seeing the man look at him as if waiting for an answer, he stood up and turn his head away as his body follows.
His expression was as if saying, 'Hey, don't look at me. I never said I was her only baby.'
Lu Tian: "…"
Watching the Samoyed leave with no intentions of giving him an answer, Lu Tian could only look back at his wife then down to the luggage full of keys. He couldn't help but ask in a mumbling voice.
"You packed a luggage full of keys?"
Hearing his question, Yue Ling who enjoying her moment of uniting with her babies was interrupted from her blissful moment. Her eyes shot open and she cast him a quick glare before setting the keys down with a hmmf.
"These aren't just any keys. These are all my babies."
Saying this, she sighs at the sight of the many keys and decides to explain herself.
"Before I moved to Imperial, I packed my most prize possessions in this luggage."
Her words fell and a smile curl on her lip as she gestures her left hand over the top section of the suitcase.
"The keys on this side holds my Turbos and Cruisers." Her righthand then moves over to the bottom section. "Whereas, this part holds my little riders."
"…"
Lu Tian stares at his wife's smiling face in silence. He felt that ever since he met her, he has been more speechless than ever. He wouldn't be surprise to find out that his high EQ and IQ have dropped by many numbers.
He sighs inside and finally understood why, out of all the things she could ask for, she wanted a huge garage.
Looking down at the keys, he can estimate there were at least fifty keys or even more.
Thinking this, he could only pat himself on the back. Good thing he renovated the garage.
However, he sighs again, but this time not inside. Since his wife also has this many cars, then that means he'll have to build another garage for his own cars.
Shaking his head, he brush the thought away and looks at his wife.
"When are they arriving?"
Yue Ling pout her lip and ponder in thought about what Liu Shan had told her when she first arrived in Imperial.
"Well… they're being transported here by ship, so I another week or two."
He nod his head at her words, then looks down at the keys again. From a glance, he can tell that each key is from highly expensive brands. Even some of the keys look identical to the ones he has. However, remembering her current car, he couldn't help but ask.
"If you have all these cars, why drive a x5m?"
Hearing his unexpected question, Yue Ling puff her cheeks then gives him a smile with her eyes closed. At the same time, she place her left index finger on her lip as to shush him.
"Low-key."
Lu Tian stares at his wife in a moment of silence. A long minute passes and a chuckle escapes his lip as he nods his head.
"Mm. Low-key."
Lifting his left hand, he pat her on the head and smile.
"If you want, you can drive any of my cars. I don't mind."
Hearing his sudden proposal, Yue Ling's eyes lit up with fireworks in the sky. Although, she has only seen him drive 2 cars, they were also very good cars. Since he said 'any'…
Staring at his wife's sudden changes in expressions from happiness to cunning then back to happy, Lu Tian wanted to take back his words.
However, he already gave her his words. He sighs for the third time and move his hand to the back of her head. Pulling her head closer to him he leans forward gently knock their foreheads together.
"You can only drive them after your pregnancy."
"…"
Yue Ling stares at him with widen eyes as if wanting to refute, but then thinking about her pregnancy, he was right. It's best to wait until after she gives birth.
*Ring Ring*
Suddenly, the sound of a ringtone interrupts their conversation in the study room.
Lu Tian moves away and reach into his pocket to take his phone out. Glancing at the caller, he furrow his brows then looks at his wife with an apologetic smile.
Not bothered by the call, Yue Ling gives him a smile to let him know she understands and turn her attention back to her luggage.
Seeing how she always understood him, Lu Tian leans forward to kiss the side of her head before standing up to answer the call.
"Hello."
His deep voice sounds as he walks out of the study room.
