Yue Ling entered her penthouse and found Lu Tian sitting at the dining table. He was calmly drinking coffee. His expression was like everything that had happened a while ago was just a figment of her crazy imagination.
Walking over, she sits on the chair across from him. After all the 'heart throbbing' and 'mind blowing' struggles she just went through, she was very hungry.
Lu Tian had already put food on her plate, so she went ahead and ate.
Stealing small glances at the man, Yue Ling felt awkward.
It had been a long time since she ate food someone cooked for her. Ever since her parents passing, she stayed with her paternal grandfather, but the old man was always busy with medicine, so she learned to cook for them.
Later on, it was Shin who would cook food for her.
Thinking of the man she loved, Yue Ling felt complicated. Sitting across is her 'new' boyfriend, but she couldn't help think about her 'old' boyfriend.
Last night when she and Lu Tian had dinner, she was very touched, and here they are eating breakfast together.
But were they really together? Maybe Lu Tian has said he was her boyfriend just so Liu Shan wouldn't keep asking. Right?
With her mind deep in thoughts, she frown and spoke without thinking, "Lu Tian, are we really dating? Like, together?"
Glancing up, two beautiful dark eyes glare at her as if the man wanted to drill holes in her body.
She swallow her food and thought, 'Err! Fine! I only wanted to confirm our relationship! No need to look at me like I'm an idiot!'
Yue Ling wanted to stab those soul piercing eyes with her chopsticks, but she held her itching hands back.
"Yes, we are dating."
"...."
Yue Ling nod her head and blushed lightly.
Three years... It's been three years since she's let a man into her life after Shin's passing....
Looking at her 'new' boyfriend, Yue Ling's heart felt tangled. Will she really move on? Is she ready?
Should she tell everyone back in City Z? Would they be angry with her?

Finishing their breakfast, Lu Tian washed the dishes while Yue Ling dried them. Once she was done, she grab the two black folders Liu Shan brought over.
Heading to her bedroom, she said to Lu Tian without looking back, "I'll be in my room going over some work drafts. If you need to leave, a spare key is on the counter. Since you live here now, feel free to make yourself at home."
She quickens her steps and enters her room. Who knows if the man would continue to pester her and tease her like earlier!
Lu Tian stare at his woman's back as she runs for her life. Hearing the door slam shut, he smiled. His woman really loves slamming the door.
Walking to the living room, he sat down on the couch and stare unblinking out the floor to ceiling window. His mind drifting to last night.
After he place her on the huge king size bed, he left back to his penthouse to shower and change. He also grabbed a new suit for work.
When he came back to her, he didn't sleep on the empty space next to her, instead he held her soft body close and they both laid on one side of the huge bed.
Feeling her naked skin brushing against him, he slightly regretted not putting any clothes on her.
He was aroused again.
However, he held the desire to take her. Looking at her sleeping peacefully in his arms, he couldn't bare to disturb her. He didn't know when, but he drifted into slumber while watching her and listening to her steady breathing.
When he woke up, he decided to not wake her up and got up to cook breakfast.
