Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 188 Out of the box



————

Stepping into the bedroom, Lu Tian looks for his wife. Not seeing her, he frowns. She just came this way, where could she be?

Glancing at the slightly opened door leading to the balcony, he sighs in relief. Of course, how could he have forgotten that there's a balcony.

He had been to excited about the news that his mind wasn't thinking correctly.

Outside on the balcony, Yue Ling sat at the end of the long lounge chair. When she walked to the bedroom, her mind was filled with ideas on how to surprise Lu Tian. However, everything changed when she remembered tomorrow.

Staring out to Imperial as the sun sets in the distance, she slowly put her hand on her stomach. Gently, she rubs in a slow and soft motion.

She is really pregnant....

How will she tell Shin?

Is it wrong that she's going to let her ex boyfriend know before her current boyfriend?

"It's cold, why are you out here?"

Lu Tian's sudden voice brings Yue Ling out of her thoughts, as something warm warps around her. Turning head to the side, she smiles faintly at the man sitting behind her.

Leaning back, she naturally rested on the man's chest.

"I just wanted to see the sunset."

Lu Tian looks at his wife and then to the setting sun. He moves one hand and place it on Yue Ling's stomach. His mind could already picture his beautiful wife with a protruding stomach.

She is pregnant with his child. Be it boy or girl, he will do everything to protect the both of them.

Thinking of their future, he tightens his arms around her as they watch the sun set in the distance.

Just as the time hit 7pm, Liu Shan steps out of his apartment. The moment he did, Ling Ni also stepped out of hers. The both of them looks at each other and laughs.

Liu Shan scratch his head, while Ling Ni's cheeks flush red. Was it a coincidence or fate?

Liu Shan: "You look great."

Ling Ni: "Thank you, so do you."

Liu Shan: "Ready?"

Ling Ni: "Mm."

Walking down the stairs and going towards Liu Shan's car, he helps Ling Ni get in and then walks to the driver seat.

Driving to their dinner date, Liu Shan felt himself floating on cloud nine. After years of working for Yue Ling, he never thought that moving to Imperial will let him meet a woman. To make things even more interesting, this woman is his neighbor.

"Where should we go for dinner?"

Liu Shan asks as he didn't know much about Ling Ni. All he knows is that the woman is from a rich family. Not that it matters, but that's all he knew.

"Anywhere is fine, I'm not picky."

While the couple's were enjoying their sweet time, in a different part of Imperial, Qian Li Li sat inside Imperial Hotel's restaurant.

She wore a red long sleeve wrapped dress with sheer stocking and her black Louboutin. Her blonde hair was curled and parted to one side.

Men and women around her stare in admire seeing such a pretty woman. Some even walked up to her and ask her out, but she turned them down.

However, her expression now was sulking. Looking down at her watch, she frowns. It's only 7pm, but from what she found, the man should also be here at Imperial Hotel for a meeting. She had arrived early hoping to meet him right away, who would have thought it didn't go that way.

Qian Li Li had booked a table facing the hotel lobby, so that when the person comes in, he will see her right away.

Just as she got tired of waiting, a figure appears out from one of the elevators near the lobby.

The man was good looking and in his early thirties. He wore a black dress shirt with beige suit pant. Over his black dress shirt was a matching beige vest. Flowing nicely on his arm was his suit jacket.

Seeing the man, Qian Li Li's sulking expression changed into one of joy. She quickly stood up, but before she could, her eyes darken with jealousy.

Stepping out behind the man was a woman with brown curly hair. She wore a nicely wrapped white pea coat that tied at the waist.

Qian Li Li has seen this woman with the man before, but they were never introduced. Not only did she not know who this woman is, her looks were not that bad.

Anger and jealousy rouse in her thinking of how this man is so cunning in meeting both women in one day.

As she continues to watch the two people in the lobby, she sees the man whisper something to the woman and she nods her head. A second after, the woman kisses the man on the cheek and turns to leave the hotel.

Qian Li Li followed the woman's figure until she was outside and got inside a taxi cab. Turning to look at the man, she sees him take out a handkerchief and wipe the area the woman had kissed. His gesture was as if he was disgusted by it.

Suddenly, the man turn to look at the restaurant and their eyes met.

Qian Li Li felt her heart skip a beat. Lu Tian is ranked as number one, while Zi Yifan is ranked second and this man is ranked third.

The man didn't look surprised at all, as he leisurely walks towards Qian Li Li's table. He pull the chair out and set his beige suit jacket down before sitting down.

Qian Li Li removes her jealous aura and smiles at the man with a sweet smile.

"Ning Xingyu, you're finally here."

Ning Xingyu looks at Qian Li Li, his expression was like someone looking down at someone not on his level.

"I thought we were meeting at 8pm."

Hearing this, Qian Li Li's smile froze. Deep down, she curse inside for her stupidity. How could she have forgotten that Ning Xingyu is a man who acts accordingly to time.

Maintaining her smile, she waves for a waiter to bring them wine before ordering. She place both her forearm on the table and lean forward, exposing her cleavage.

"I just saw you with a woman, who is she?"

"My personal matters don't concern you. Let's get to the point of this meeting."

Ning Xingyu spoke before lifting the glass of wine and takes a sip. Putting it down, he looks at the woman across from him.

Qian Li Li is a beautiful woman, but he could tell that everything about her is all fake. From her face to her body and her personality. However, she is just like another Guyao, a woman who spreads her legs for him.

"Hahah, sorry Ling Ni, I didn't think we would get stuck in traffic around this time."

Liu Shan chuckles as he open the door for his date. He could only curse inside for the sudden traffic jam they were in. If it wasn't for it, they would have arrived already.

"It's fine, traffic jams come surprisingly."

Ling Ni replies with a soft laugh. Stepping inside, she looks around the place and she purse her lip.

"Liu Shan, why are we at Imperial Hotel? Don't tell me you...."

"N-No! I heard the restaurant here is good, so I picked this place. W-Why are you thinking out of the box...?"

Liu Shan quickly interrupts Ling Ni's words. He wasn't even thinking of what she was. All he wanted to do was try the food at the restaurant. Glancing at Ling Ni, he sighs.

He is a gentleman, how can she think of him like that....

Ling Ni smiles at Liu Shan's reaction. She knows that he is a gentleman, what she said was just to tease him.

"Hmm, come on, let's go. I'm starving."

Liu Shan spoke as he ushers his date towards the restaurant. When it comes to food, he is the most happiest.

Walking up to the entrance of the restaurant, they had to wait before being seated. As they waited, a couple walks pass Liu Shan. He could smell the strong and overuse of the woman's perfume. Frowning, he looks at the couple.

However, his eyes dimmed and his aura turned cold. He doesn't recognize the woman is, but he does with the man.

Ning Xingyu. The older brother of the disgusting Ning Mei who drugged his boss.

His eyes watched the couple until they entered an elevator and disappeared from sight. Knowing what was going on, he scoffs in disgust.

"Liu Shan? Liu Shan?"

Hearing his name, he broke out of his murderous aura and looks at Ling Ni.

"Sorry, what is it?"

Ling Ni looks at Liu Shan with an unknown feeling, the to the elevator. She had seen the couple too, but did he know them?

Not thinking much about it, she smiles at him, "Our table is ready."

"Mm."
