Chapter 776 Angry with you

Yue Ling sat in her white BMW x5m, leaving the restaurant, but she wasn't the one driving. Lu Tian had instructed Xu Long to come and drive his car home so he can go in the same car as her.

Madam Lu, Madam Zhao, and Zhao Ya'Er were forced by Lu Tian to go in a separate car.

Yue Ling thought he had done this so they could be alone and discuss the phone call.

However, seconds turned into minutes, and before she knew it, twenty minutes had already gone by.

Lu Tian never spoke a word but focused on the road. What he didn't know is that his silence was killing Yue Ling on the inside.

Unable to take the silence anymore, Yue Ling gathers all the courage inside her and decides to break the silence. Since he isn't bringing up the topic, maybe he is waiting for her to say something.

Thinking this way, she slightly adjusts her body to face the man and looks at him.

"Tian, there's something I forgot to tell you."

Her words pause, and she inhales a deep breath as she braces herself.

"You see, the thing is, it wasn't that I forgot to tell you. I mean, yes, I came home a little drunk… okay, totally drunk that night, but that isn't my excuse because I had no intentions of keeping it a secret from you."

She struggles with her words initially but was slowly able to find the right words to help her get started on her explanation. She stares at the side view of Lu Tian's face and notices that his expression had remained as indifferent as usual.

This made her heave a sigh. She also thought that if she saw herself from another perspective, she would feel that she was trying to make up some kind of lame excuse.

However, excuse or not, she is telling the truth, and it was better to let him hear from her.

"That night, my employees and I did go out to eat and drink at Uncle Nuo's food stall. We didn't think that Tao Meng and his—"

"It's fine."

Before she could finish her words, Lu Tian's deep voice cuts her off. He made it seem like he didn't want to hear anything she has to say.

Yue Ling's heart sank to her stomach. Her mouth was left agape, but there was no sound. All she could do was stare with a slightly pale expression at him.

Is he so angry that he won't even listen to her explanation?

Could this be the outcome of someone who forgets to tell someone something?

She indeed forgot to tell him, but she thought it wasn't necessary. No, judging from his expression and tone, this information that was unimportant to her might have been important to him.

Knowing she had screwed up, she curses inside at herself for being unable to handle alcohol. If she hadn't been so drunk and only wanted to count the stars, maybe she could have used that time to tell him.

Like someone had punched her hard on the chest, she fell heavily and limply into the passenger seat. She lowers her head to hide her conscious-stricken face and murmurs quietly.

"I'm sorry��"

Lu Tian never turned his head to look at his wife. He had been focusing his attention on the road ahead as he was following the car his mother, aunt, and cousin were in.

When he suddenly heard his wife speak, he didn't look at her, but his ears were opened to listen. He thought she would talk about something else, but in the end, it was about what Xu Long had informed him.

It was then that he quickly told her that it was fine. However, before he could say to her why he said what he said, he hears her apologizing.

This made him frown and purse his lip.

"Why are you apologizing? You didn't do anything wrong."

Yue Ling kept her head down like she was ashamed of herself. She shook her head and closed her eyes with a small squeeze.

"I did do something wrong. We're in this relationship together, but I didn't consider your feelings. I should have told you, even if it wasn't important."

Her eyes open, and she stares down at her hands that were placed over her lap.

"That's… that's why you are angry…"

The lines between Lu Tian's eyebrows ceases, and he smiles an unnoticeable smile. It seems like his wife really did misunderstand his words.

He sighs inside and reaches one hand out to her as his other hand controls the steering wheel. Gently placing his large palm over her small hand, he takes hold of her hand closer to him.

"I wasn't and am not angry."

He uses his hand to separate her overlapped hands so his fingers could fill the gap between her fingers. Guiding her hand back to him, he brings it closer to his lip and places a soft kiss on it without taking his eyes away from the road.

"I can never be angry with you."

He then lowers her hand but only to press the back of her hand against his cheek.

"Whatever happened that night, I believe you must have had your own reasons for not telling me."

From what he can conclude, his wife isn't the type to keep unnecessary secrets from him. If it was indeed important, like how Xu Long made it sound, she would have undoubtedly told him first.

Yue Ling lifted her hand when she felt his lips on her hand. However, when she looked at him, she was met with Lu Tian slightly turning his head to look at her.

Their eyes met like lovers who were separated and could only see each other from a far distance. He smiles ever so lightly to her and kisses her hand again with a look of reassurance.

"That much is enough for me to trust you."
