Chapter 778 she had entered the pas

Time did not seem to slow down as Yue Ling, and Lu Tian arrived at their next stop. In front of them was a three-story building somewhere in the heart of Imperial.

Due to the weekend, the streets were busier than usual with a massive crowd as many did not have work or school.

Lu Tian drives the car into a private parking lot in the back of the building. He parks the car but doesn't turn off the ignition right away.

Yue Ling didn't take notice of this and glance out the window. Surprisingly, the parking lot was empty with only a few cars despite the heavy traffic.

"Since we're here, let's finish our discussion when we get home."

She looks at Lu Tian with a smile as she unbuckles her seatbelt. Although their conversation was cut short, she had told him all the essential things. As for the smaller details, she will leave it for when they go home. That way, they won't be disturbed in their own house.

Thinking of this plan, she reaches for her bag in the back seat and opens the passenger door to step out.

Regularly, Lu Tian would have never agreed to her suggestion. He is the kind of person who tends to see a conversation to the end. However, the one in front of him is his wife.

As her husband and man, he will listen to anything she says. After all, he proud to be a henpecked husband.

He watches as she steps out of the car but doesn't follow in her steps.

Yue Ling noticed this when she was about to close the door. She looks at him and tilts her head quizzically.

"You're not coming inside?"

Lu Tian gazes back at her beauty for a long second. Her question sounded natural and normal, but it made him think of something else. One corner of his lip curls up into a very tiny smirk.

"When do I ever not?"

He answers her with a question that confused Yue Ling even more. She frowns with a pout and stares at the man with pondering.

When did he ever not?

She asks the question in her head multiple times. At first, she didn't grasp the meaning, but the moment she did, her eyes widen, and her entire face turns red.

"Shameless!"

She raises her voice without any care if someone heard her and slams the door shut. Picking up her feet, she storms away from the car with puffed cheeks.

All she asked was if he was going to go inside, yet, here he is, having all the time in the world to joke around.

She stopped at the hood of the car and flung her head to look at the aloof man still inside. She didn't bother to hide her expression and made sure Lu Tian saw how she was feeling.

"Hmph."

She looks away with a slight attitude and continues on her way to the other car.

Lu Tian's eyes followed her movements like a hawk soaring in the sky. There was a smile on his face even though his wife wasn't looking at him.

However, that smile slowly lowers as his wife enters the store with his mother, aunt, and cousin.

He looks away and reaches for his phone inside his coat pocket. Taking it out, he unlocks the screen then press on a number. As the phone rings in wait for a connection, he places it near his ear.

["Hello"]

The calls fall through, and a man's voice can faintly be heard from the other line.

"I need you to do something."

Lu Tian answers the second the other picked up the phone. He doesn't beat around the bush and goes into detail about his call.

He may not be angry at his wife for not telling him, but that doesn't mean he isn't fuming with rage on the inside.

His wife had told him it sounded like any women's encounter of getting hit on by a man. However, this man that dares to take an interest in his wife is Tao Meng.

The very man who will go to any means to get a woman he set his eyes on. Even if it means kidnapping them and chaining them to his bed.

His wife said to not act and will obey her order. However, that doesn't mean he's going to let his guard down.

["I can gather the others today and be at your house in 15 minutes.]

The man on the other line spoke, and Lu Tian was brought back from his thoughts. He looks in the direction of the store and sees his wife's silhouette through the window.

"I'm out with my wife. Xu Long has the passcode to get inside."

He doesn't say anymore and ends the call. Shutting the ignition off, he places his phone back in his coat pocket and steps out of the car.

Inside the store, Yue Ling had no idea about what Lu Tian was doing. She also didn't bother to question why he didn't get out of the car.

The store she had entered is called Blush Tree. It is a clothing store that sells tuxedos and dresses designed for any occasion. Although the store did not carry her brand, it still had other high-end brands.

This place was like the dreamlike castle of every little girl's fantasy of being a princess.

However, despite having a smile on Yue Ling's face, her soul was sobbing with tears on the inside.

"Ah Ling, what do you think about this dress?"

"Look at this dress. It's shining with glitter!"

"No, no. This one. This is the one. Look, this dress screams engagement!"

The second Yue Ling stepped foot inside Blush Tree, she felt she had entered the past.

Madam Lu, Madam Zhao, and Zhao Ya'Er had returned to the moment they were in Ages of Love. Only, Yang Yang wasn't here to join them. Their behavior was not at all like that of women from prominent families. They looked like three little girls experiencing shopping for the very first time.

Yue Ling look shifts her gaze from the three grown women. Unlike Ages of Love, Blush Tree held a more elegant interior. Employees were also standing at the side in wait if they are needed.

However, when she saw the sympathetic look on each worker's face, she sobs even more inside.

How did time return her to a situation like this again?

Madam Lu picks up a pink dress from a rack and walks over to Yue Ling. She held it in front of her daughter-in-law and chuckles.

"Wow, look at how eye-catching this dress is. What do you think?"

Suddenly brought back to her senses, Yue Ling looks at Madam Lu then down at the dress. Her eyes turned solemn, and she was struck dumbfounded.
