Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 897: It’s perfect here

Due to the rain that overcame Imperial again, the photoshoot was moved to a different indoor location. However, it wasn't moved anywhere fancy but to the home of Yue Ling and Lu Tian.

While everyone carried on with their way to set up the scene, Yang Yang stood in the middle of the living room.

He crossed one arm over his chest as the other pinched his chin and pondered. His expression was severe, like he was thinking hard about something.

"I don't know… Will this work?"

His eyebrows furrow together, and he turns to look at Liu Shan, who is putting up the camera equipment.

"We could have just moved the shoot to a studio."

Liu Shan finishes putting their new tripod in place. When he hears Yang Yang's words, he straightens his posture and turns to look at the man.

He ponders for a quick second, then looks at the almost finished decorated living room.

"I don't see why it wouldn't work. It's perfect here."

With the sudden change in the weather, they had to think of a new location. He could have called Wu Jing, the CEO of Beauty, for a favor. If it were for Yue Ling, Wu Jing would not have declined the sudden request.

However, his boss suggested they do the photoshoot at her and Lu Tian's house.

At first, he had his doubts, but once they arrived and started setting up, he couldn't help but understand why his boss chose to come here.

Xu Long enters the living room with a flower vase in his arms. He heard the conversation between the two men and set the vase down in its designated spot.

"I agree with Liu Shan."

He looks at Yang Yang and smiles a smile that reaches his eyes.

"Since it's boss and lady boss's wedding photoshoot, why not have it done where they will create the most memories."

Liu Shan nods his head in agreement with the assistant's words.

"Mhmm. Not only is it memorable, but it will also be meaningful."

Yang Yang stares with a blank expression at the two assistants. He looked like he had more to say but knowing he won't win against them, he turned away and walked out of the living room.

"Alright, you guys win."

Xu Long watches the man walk away. He lightly shakes his head and sighs.

"He doesn't understand, but he will understand once he finds his soulmate."

Liu Shan gives Xu Long a side glance before returning to set up the camera equipment. However, he paused midway when he remembered something.

"I almost forgot. Since you dropped the tripod in the water and we couldn't find it, you'll have to compensate the studio we rented it from."

Being reminded of the incident, Xu Long's beaming expression turns into a sulking one. He snorts a hmmf and places his hands on his hips.

"I already know that. You don't need to remind me for the hundredth time."

He spat out his words and stormed away. He knows that if he continues to stay by Liu Shan's side, the man will not stop nagging at him about the tripod.

In the kitchen, the Gui twins were working on arranging the flowers. They watched the dispute between the two assistants from the dining table and laughed at what they saw.

To them, Liu Shan and Xu Long looked like an old couple that could never come to an agreement.

Oblivious to the situation that had taken place downstairs, Yue Ling had finished changing into a new wedding dress. She stood in front of a mirror brought inside the room and stared at her reflection.

Unlike the first dress, which gave a look of elegance, this dress was more modest.

The long sleeves wrapped around her arms, and the scoop on the bodice was not too revealing. The skirt flowed down to the floor in silk with ease. However, what she liked the most about the dress was that there was no lace or embroidery.

It is a modest and simple dress.

"Yue Ling."

As she admires the dress in the mirror, Lu Tian's deep voice sounds from behind her. She looks up to see his reflection in the mirror and smiles.

She leisurely spun around to face him, and her smile disappeared into a slight frown.

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you still be preparing for the photoshoot?"

Her words fells like she was trying to find an excuse to make him leave the room, which made Lu Tian pout his lips. He had already finished changing into a new tuxedo due to the rain. Even his hair was done again.

Gazing at her, he brushes aside all thoughts and strides at a steady pace towards her. Once he was standing in front of her, his expression softened, and he raised his right hand.

"No matter where or when you always look prettier every time I see you."

The back of his index finger gently brushes against the side of her face before moving the loose strand of hair behind her ear.

"I wish I was the only one who could see you like this."

Yue Ling held his gaze, and the corners of her mouth curled up. She lets out a soft chuckle, and with his hand still by her face, she tilts her head towards it.

It was as if she was trying to feel him more.

Once the feeling of his palm was pressed against her cheek, she sighed inside. It was as if she had finally found her salvation.

"You really have a habit of changing the subject."

Her left-hand raises to hold the back of his hand, and she rests the side of her face in his palm as her bluish-green eyes lock with his dark one.

"But I don't mind because you are the only man I will look at."

Lu Tian felt a tingling sensation shoot throughout his body before landing on his heart. It was once an unfamiliar feeling, but now it was a feeling he knew better than anyone.

He unknowingly tilts his head forward and closes the gap between them. He gives her no warning and captures her lips which captivates him.

Yue Ling was taken aback by his sudden kiss. Her eyes widen slightly, but she gradually closes her eyes within the next second and returns the kiss.

Time felt like it had slowed down, and they were the only two people in the world. Lu Tian's hands slid down to her waist before gradually tracing around to her back.

Yue Ling doesn't stop him but wraps her arms around his neck, drawing him closer than he already is to her.

However, before the situation could get any steamer, a knock sounds at the door and disrupts the couple.

"Boss, everything downstairs is ready. We're ready to start the photoshoot."

Following the knock came Liu Shan's voice. Despite the door left ajar, he didn't push it open as he knew what was happening inside the room.

Yue Ling was the first to break away from Lu Tian since the person who interrupted them was her assistant. She turned to look at the door, and when she realized it wasn't closed all the way, her cheeks flushed a shade of red.

She clears her throat to steady herself and answers.

"Tian is with me. We'll come downstairs shortly."

Behind the ajar door, Liu Shan didn't dare to enter the room after hearing his boss. He doesn't say anymore and dashes away.

He didn't know why, but he could feel a cold breeze coming from inside the room for some odd reason. So cold that all the hair on his body stood on ends.

And it wasn't just his imagination.

Back inside the room, Lu Tian's eyes glared at the door as if he was shooting daggers at the person who had interrupted his sweet moment with his wife.

He couldn't help but regret not shutting the door and locking it.

A faint sigh escapes his lips before subconsciously glancing at the woman he loves wholeheartedly.

The moment his eyes locked onto the side view of her face, his entire being softens, especially his expression.

He takes a small step forward and gently wraps his arms around her waist.

"They know what kind of relationship we have. Why are you still embarrassed?"

Yue Ling slightly jumped at his sudden embrace. Her attention towards the door shifts to his words as her cheeks flush and her heart begins to race.

"W-what are you talking about? I'm not shy at all."

She stammered for a split second but was quick to compose herself, especially her heart, which sounded like it was running a marathon.

Lu Tian didn't argue with her but chuckled in response. He slowly unwraps his arms around her and moves away. He didn't forget to place a small kiss on her temple as he did so.

He walks in front of her and slightly turns his body to look back at her. His arm raises, and he reaches his hand out to her.

"Shall we prove to the world that you are no longer shy?"

Yue Ling was at a loss for his question. She stood rooted to the floor before sounding a soft laugh.

She places her hand on top of his and smiles at him. Her bluish-green eyes gaze into his dark ones with steadiness.

"Let us then."
