Dinner finished with ease as Yue Ling said goodnight to Madam Lu, Zhao Ya'Er and Madam Zhao. The mother and daughter left together as Lu Tian had informed the Lu family's chauffer to come pick up his mother.
Watching the two cars drive away from the restaurant, Yue Ling and Lu Tian waited as a valet worker left to retrieve Lu Tian's car.
A soft sigh escapes her lips as she was exhausted from shopping. She couldn't wait to go home and jump onto her cozy bed after washing up.
Standing next to her, Lu Tian heard her sigh as nothing about her escapes his ears. He looks down at her and reach a hand to hold her hand. A faint smile curls on his lip before it changes into full of mischief.
"Darling, hm?"
Yue Ling was imagining herself already at home with Inu, but hearing his sudden words, she returned to her senses. She doesn't look at him right away but continue to stare at the street in front of her. She couldn't help but wish to have Zhao Ya'Er turn around to come pick her up.
She had only dare to call Lu Tian 'darling' because she didn't want to see him, and his mother argue over unnecessary things. However, how can she tell him this?
Struggling a very hard gulp like a big lump was stuck in her throat, she slowly turn her head to look up at him. A big and crooked smile on her lip as she chuckles.
"Do you want me to call you 'darling' from now on?"
'Please say no.'
She spoke the remaining words in her head. It's not that she didn't want to call him darling, she is still getting used to calling him by his name. To call him 'darling' now, is even harder as she has never called anyone by a pet name.
Lu Tian stares down at his wife and he wanted so badly to laugh at the sight of her pleading face. However, maintain his master supreme poker face, he pretends to put on a thinking face.
"Hm… Calling me darling doesn't sound so bad, but…"
Yue Ling felt her entire being shrink at his words. When she heard him say 'but', it was like she had returned to her usual size and her eyes lit up with fireworks exploding in the background.
"But?"
Seeing her glistering eyes, a soft chuckle escapes Lu Tian's lips. His other hand gently pinch the tip of her nose and he pulls her into a hug.
"I prefer to hear you say my name."
Which is the truth. As much as he liked hearing her call him darling, he loves it more when she says his name.
Besides, darling isn't such a bad pet name, but he doesn't want to call a name that many other people are being called. He wants her to pick a name that is only meant for him.
He lowers his head and place a kiss on her forehead then pulls away from her. His attention returns to the street as if he had not shamelessly kissed her in public.
"Once we're officially married, you can call me anything you want."
"…"
Yue Ling's cheeks flush red before it spread across her entire face. It was not his words that took her by surprise, but what he did as there was a valet worker standing two feet away from them. Even she can see that the young man's cheeks are just as red as hers.
Lu Tian was able to see her expression from the corner of his eyes. He knew what he did had made her flush from embarrassment, but he felt happier than ever. He told her before that he didn't care if anyone saw them. Be it in public or not, only she matters to him.
As he thought this, his black Maserati Levante Trofeo slows to a park in front of them. A valet worker steps out from the driver seat and hand the key to Lu Tian.
"Mr. Lu, your car."
He gestures a polite bow before taking a step back and returns to join his coworker at the side.
"Ready to go home?"
Lu Tian asks as his wife, but he was already pulling her towards the passenger side of the car. Opening it, he doesn't wait for her answer and helps her get inside.
As he entered the driver seat and drives away from the restaurant, the two valet workers stare at the back of his car. Each person were finally able to breathe again before they let out a sigh.
"Can you believe it? Our idol is really in a relationship with him."
"I know…. Wuuu… I didn't even get to ask for her autograph…"
While the night carried on as Yue Ling and Lu Tian return home to be with Inu, in another part of Imperial, four men had met up at the nightclub Spring.
Lin Hui sat facing the bar with a grim expression. He had been so excited when he was invited to come out, but no one said anything about coming to Spring again.
If he knew, he would have made up some lame excuse and stayed home.
However, he had to constantly tell himself that he is doing all this for Liu Shan. When a brother needs help, the other brothers have to be supportive.
Inhaling a deep breath to calm his mind, he raise the glass in his hand and downs the liquor in one gulp.
Unaware of Lin Hui's feelings, Liu Shan and Qi Li were enjoying a show as they press their lips tightly together from laughing. Standing next to them was Xu Long, who is giving them a show.
The assistant of the aloof businessman is currently bopping his head to match the loud music. Each time a beauty walks by, he would pretend to put on a bad boy demeanor. As a group of four beauties walk pass him, his eyes follows them but is soon met with two pairs of dumbfounded eyes.
He blinks his eyes and clears his throat as if he had not just done what he did.
"What? Can't a lonely brother check out the beauties?"
Hearing his words, Lin Hui turns to face the man. He glares with darken eyes at Xu Long and scoffs a sneer.
"Dude, every time you 'check out' a beauty, it is nothing but trouble."
Xu Long refute the man with a snort. He folds his arms over his chest and stares at Qi Li and Liu Shan then stopping at Lin Hui.
"It was only one time."
His words fell and this time it was the three men who cross their arms over their chest. Each person held a doubtful expression at the assistant.
Met with the look they were giving him, Xu Long was baffled. He clears his throat again and avert his gaze from them like the air had suddenly turned hot.
"Alright, alright. It happened like two times…. Or more."
Lin Hui rolled his eyes and spin around to face the bar again. He waves to a bartender and orders another drink. If he is going to survive the night, he will need more than two drinks.
Qi Li shakes his head and takes out a cigarette to smoke. As he lit the cigarette, Liu Shan sighs inside and looks down at his wristwatch.
"Xu Long, you told Yiqing that we were here right?"
Hearing the question, Xu Long nods his head, but suddenly remembering something, he taps his forehead with his palm.
"I did, but he already has plans with his wife."
"…."
