Unexpected Second Chance at Love Chapter 438

Chapter 438 on my own

Xu Long and Wolf Team stare in shock and amusement at their almighty boss. One should know that a man like Lu Tian does not laugh, let alone even smile.

Seeing their dumbstruck faces, Liu Shan and Lin Hui looks at one another. Xu Long said it was because Lu Tian had laughed, but why do they look like they saw a ghost?

Thinking this, both men turn to steal a glance at Yue Ling and Lu Tian. Their brows furrow together and ponder in thought.

Was it that terrifying to see the man laugh?

From what they can see, it was only two people madly in love and laughing together.

However, it was only the two of them who thought this way. What they do not know is that the only time Lu Tian smiles or laugh is because of one thing only.

And that is, someone is going to die.

Unaware about the men's sudden state of mind, Yue Ling walks over to the three men still sitting on the ground. She didn't see what happened, but only saw them suddenly fall.

"Are you guys okay? I thought one of you would have won by now."

She teasingly chuckles her words. Reaching her hand out, she decides to give them a pull up.

Not thinking much, Liu Shan takes her hand. After all, they have been together for many years and have held hands in the past.

Of course, holding hand as in a boss helping her subordinate up from a fall or like saving him from falling down a cliff. You know, things like that.

However, before his palm could reach hers, a larger hand met his.

"…"

Liu Shan's eyes turned heavy as he stares up at the owner of this new hand. It was not his boss's smooth and soft hand, but a large hand that is a little bigger than his. He could even feel the coldness of the person's palm with traces of calluses.

"Oh! My! God!"

It wasn't Liu Shan who spoke, but Xu Long. His eyes widen more than ever before turning white and he falls back onto the hard ground with a loud thud. Only the heavens above knows what is going on inside his colorful world.

"…"

Lin Hui did not bother to catch the assistant as he was stuck in his own daze. However, the loud thud awoke him back to five senses.

"Uh… Did I miss something?"

His sudden question brought Liu Shan from his daze. His cheeks slightly flush a shade of pink as he pulls himself up from the ground. Letting go of the hand that helped him, he scratches the back of his head.

"Heh heh, thanks."

Lu Tian looks at the man and nod his head. He didn't expect himself to lend a hand, but when he saw Liu Shan reaching for his wife's hand, he had to step in.

Even if Liu Shan was her assistant and knew her longer, right now, she is his wife and the thought of another man holding her hand is something he does not approve.

Standing at the side, Yue Ling pressed her lips tightly together to stop herself from smiling. When she offered her hand to help, it was out of good well and something she often did.

However, when Lu Tian suddenly pulled her aside and offered his hand instead, she knew the man was eating a jar of vinegar.

Shaking her head, she looks at Lin Hui who was still sitting on the ground.

"Do you need help getting up too?"

Lin Hui looks at her and quietly shook his head. If it was her helping him, he wouldn't mind, but after seeing the look on Lu Tian's face, no way. He is still young and wants to continue living. Besides, he still has Jiangyu who wants his life.

He quickly stood up and dust away any dirt that might have gotten on his clothes.

"See. I could get up on my own. Nothing wrong with me."

Saying this he looks down at Xu Long. The man was laying down with his eyes closed.

Thinking of something, Lin Hui's eyes narrow and he grins evilly. He shall give the man a kick for what he did earlier. Of course, this kick will also wake the man up.

However, even when the kick landed on him, Xu Long did not move a muscle. He looked like he had really passed out.

Seeing the man not avoid his kick, Lin Hui arch a brow. His leg that had kicked Xu Long froze in midair before he pokes the man with the tip of his foot.

"Xu Long? Bro, did you really faint? Xu Long?"

As Lin Hui continued to poke Xu Long's waist, the man remained unmoving like he was dead.

"Wow. I guess he really did faint."

Lin Hui spoke and looks at the other three people. Staring back at Xu Long again, he pout his lip. He was now feeling guilty for kicking the unconscious man. He thought Xu Long was faking it and would dodge the kick.

Stratching the tip of his nose, he glance at the other three witnesses.

"Um… What should we do with him now?"

Lu Tian glance at Lin Hui then down at his assistant. For some reason, he couldn't help but feel embarrass for himself knowing that he has a man like Xu Long as an assistant.

Sighing inside, he part his lip to speak.

"Xu Long, two months of your pay will be deducted."

Xu Long's ears twitch to listen before his eyes shot open. His legs bend forward as he kicks himself up from the ground and stood facing the four people.

His right hand raises to his head and he gestures a salute.

"Assistant Xu Long is my name and I am ready for duty! Please do not deducted my pay!"

It was like the man had never fainted or was laying on the ground like a dead man.

Yue Ling, Liu Shan and Lin Hui stares at the assistant with face full of bewilder. If Xu Long was an actor, his outstanding acting skills would definitely win him Best Actor Award without a doubt.

Oblivious to their praising thoughts about him, Xu Long glares with sharp daggers at Lin Hui.

"Your kick almost killed me!"

Lin Hui eye's blinked with heaviness on his eyelids. However, thinking about the man's words, he place one hand on his hip and stuck his other hand out. He mimics the assistant's famous pose and voice with his head wobbling.

"But did you die?"

Listening to their interaction, Yue Ling was on the verge of laughing aloud. Not wanting to embarrass the assistant, she turns towards Lu Tian and hid her face against his arm. Of course, her shoulders can be seen slightly trembling.

Lu Tian glance down at his wife and he frowns. Did Xu Long's sudden revival frighten her this much that she is trembling uncontrollably?

He deepens his frown and wrap his arm over her shoulder. Looking at Xu Long, his deep voice sounds.

"Xu Long, three months of your pay is deducted."

"…"

Hearing this, Xu Long who was about to beat up Lin Hui for revenge was struck dumbfounded. Ice cold water poured over him as his mind could not think straight.

His hard work… money… food… bills…

"B-But… I… who… me…"

Both Lin Hui and Liu Shan stare at the dumbstruck man then glance at each other. Given a moment of silent, both men burst into laughter at Xu Long's misfortune.

This is the fail outcome of someone who is not a professional deciding to be an award-winning actor.

Liu Shan held his stomach and wipes his tears away. Walking over to Xu Long, he pat the man on the shoulder and points his index finger.

"Don't worry, your brother here will look after you."

Xu Long, who was in disbelief, blinks his eyes at Liu Shan in relief. He smiles thankfully that there are still good people in this world who would take care of him.

However, when he saw Liu Shan's finger, he was dumbstruck.

It was not pointed at him (Liu Shan), but at Lin Hui.

"…"
