Through the corridors of Imperial Military Hospital, Lu Tian carried his wife in his arms without a care about the attention directed at them.
Patients, nurses and doctors couldn't help but blush shyly at the scene in front of them.
However, unlike the aloof man, Yue Ling could only hide her face against Lu Tian's shoulder and neck.
She thought it was fine at first to let the man have his way, but now that so many eyes are on them, she felt embarrass.
"Tian, I can walk on my own."
She murmur her words so only he can hear, but after a long minute, he does not answer her. Confused, Yue Ling looks up at him.
Lu Tian was staring ahead and he had stopped walking.
Her brows furrow together, and she turn to look in the direction he was looking at.
However, when she saw what he was looking at, her brows arch upwards in surprise.
"Li Wei?"
Standing in front of the private ward Yue Ling was staying in, stood the leader of White Tiger. He wore a white dress shirt, with black trousers and a tan trench coat.
His features were very soft and caught the attention of many young female nurses that walked by. However, the roaring tiger tattooed on the front of neck made each nurse afraid to approach him. The tattoo gave him a dangerous feeling.
Standing next to him was his sworn sister, Chun Hua. Her plump lip was colored in crimson red as she wore a red long sleeve dress with her hair tied up in a high ponytail.
When the two saw Yue Ling and Lu Tian, both could not believe their eyes. Lu Tian was carrying Yue Ling like they were not at the hospital but at their own home.
However, quickly coming to his senses, Li Wei clears his throat and smiles to them.
"Sorry for the unannounced visit. I hope you both don't mind."
Lu Tian nonchalantly shrug his shoulder while Yue Ling smiles sarcastically to him due to the situation she was in.
Looking at Lu Tian, she pats his shoulder and whispers to him.
"Put me down."
Hearing her words, Lu Tian was reluctant, but he oblige anyways. Carefully setting her down on her feet, he looks at Li Wei.
"Why are you here?"
Li Wei looks at the man then to Yue Ling. Why does Lu Tian sound like he (Li Wei) was unwelcome here? However, he really mind the man since thats the way he (Lu Tian) had always spoke.
His eyes then scans the hospital corridor as he gestures to the closed door.
"Can we talk inside? I have something to tell you both."
Lu Tian nod his head as he walks to the door and opens it for his wife. As Yue Ling entered, he followed after her.
"Hua, you wait out here."
Before entering the room, Li Wei instructed his sister to wait.
Hearing his words, Chun Hua did not get angry. She nods her head and leans against the wall in wait for her sworn brother.
As Li Wei stares at Yue Ling, he couldn't help but let his thoughts drift away.
He has known her for a long time now and never has he seen her end up in the hospital. When he first heard the news, he couldn't believe it at all.
The Yue Ling he knows is strong and nothing ever happens to her. Even when she is face with other leaders from the underworld, she never once backed down or showed her weak side.
However, now…
Seeing him stare at with intense eyes, Lu Tian slightly covers his wife and stares straight into the man's eyes.
"What is it?"
Hearing the business king's voice, Li Wei quickly returned to his senses and his cheek flush red when he realized what Lu Tian must have thought.
His head lightly shook and he thought, 'what a jealous man.'
He clears his throat with one hand covering his mouth and he starts talking.
"I heard the tragic news from Qi Li and Yiqing. My condolences for your lost."
Remembering the exact words that were told to him, he sighs inside.
"I never liked Chu Li Xiang, but I never thought he would steep so low and do something like this."
Taking a deep breath, he looks at Yue Ling and his expression turned serious.
"I personally came here today to let you both know that if you need help from White Tiger, we will do everything we can to help you find that bastard."
Yue Ling stares at the man and she sighs a faint smile. Li Wei has been a good friend of hers since she became the leader of Fate. However…
"Thank you, but we have this under control."
She reach her hand to hold Lu Tian's and she gives him a reassuring smile.
"We will find him no matter what it takes."
Li Wei slowly nods his head in understanding. However, remembering something, his slightly purse his lip.
"I heard that Chu Qiang knows where his brother is hiding."
Hearing his words, Lu Tian was not surprise. The past few days, they had already received the news that Chu Qiang sent someone to follow Chu Li Xiang.
"We won't ask him."
Yue Ling answers with a wide smile that reveals her teeth. She looked so beautiful like a moon goddess, but despite seeing her that way, Li Wei could only shiver.
Chu Li Xiang thought he could kill two birds with one stone, but he didn't think about the outcome of when he fails. Now that Yue Ling didn't die like he wanted, he's on the run from Lu Tian.
However, what he doesn't know is that it is not only Lu Tian he is running from, but also Fate.
Thinking this, he politely bows to the couple.
"Well, seems like I am not needed here. I will leave you two be."
Yue Ling and Lu Tian nod their heads to him. They were truly thankful that he took the time to come here to offer help, but they can take care of this on their own.
Of course, they also do not want to involve any more people.
Just as Li Wei opened the door to leave the private ward, Yue Ling's voice sounds after him.
"I hope to see you at the meeting."
Hearing her words, the corners of Li Wei's lip arc upwards. He turns to look at her and nods his head.
"Up front and center."
As he left the room and closed the door, he gestures with his head to Chun Hua for them to leave. However, a glint of light flashes in his head.
When Yue Ling… no, when Mami's sudden message arrived at the doorstep of each leader from the underworld, only God knows the reaction they all had.
Fear? Definitely.
The person they all fear in crossing paths with had left the underworld years ago.
She made it clear that so long as no one crossed her line, she will not appear in the underworld, but someone stupid had decided they didn't want to live anymore.
And Chu Li Xiang just had to be that stupid person.
If she needs anything, he (Li Wei) will not hesitate to help as she had done so much to help him in the past.
The room became quiet with only Yue Ling and Lu Tian inside.
Yue Ling slowly moves the blanket and gets out of bed. She had just run almost a total of 7 miles. Her body is sticky from her sweat, and she feels uncomfortable, so its better to clean up.
"Where are you going?"
Just as her foot was about to touch the floor, Lu Tian's deep voice sounds as he looks at her.
Met with his dark pupils, Yue Ling couldn't help but gulp with difficulty. She force a smile and tries to make an excuse.
"I need to use the restroom."
Like he could read her mind, Lu Tian leisurely stood up and picks her up from the bed.
"I'll take you."
"…"
Yue Ling was speechless by his action. She struggles within his arms and tries to talk her way out.
"Tian!! I can go by myself! I'm fine now!"
Of course, her words did not enter his ears. If it did, it entered one ear and out the other.
He carried her in his arms and strides towards the bathroom.
Knowing she cannot fight him with words, Yue Ling covers her face with her palms and screams inside her head.
Ever since she woke up, this man has been bathing her every time she wanted to freshen up. Even when she needs to use the bathroom for personal matters, he would stand outside the door like she would run away.
Can't she have some time alone to herself?
Screaming one last time in her head, she moves her hands from her face and raise her chin high.
"Fine. Take me to the restroom. What's there to fear when we've already seen each other!"
She spoke her words with confidence but her cheeks flushed crimson red.
As the the bathroom door close, it didn't take long before the sound of water running faintly echoes inside the private ward.
