Lu Tian decided not to drive his car and walked to the restaurant since it was only down the street from his company. Plus, his wife had driven her own car, so there was no need for him to drive.
After all, his plan is to 'bump' into her as she leaves. Once she realizes that he didn't drive, she'll offer him a ride and with the weather, there's no way she will let him walk in the rain.
Holding onto the black umbrella in one hand, a satisfy smile curls on cold and straight face. However, immerse in his own world, he didn't realize that the look on his face was scaring away the people that walks pass him.
To them, he looked like an immortal, but at the same time, the kind of immortal that only smiles when he plans to cause havoc upon the world.
Not caring for those around him, he continues towards the restaurant until he finally reach his destination.
He was slightly worried that he might have missed her, but to his relief, he spot her right away standing by her car.
He quickly picks up his pace and strides over to her as it was going to rain. He also didn't want to be left alone and have his plan fail.
However, from where he was, he was able to see that something about her was amiss.
The space between his brows crease together. Why does she look cautious of her surroundings?
Feeling a tinge of tightness in his chest, he calls out to her. However, before he could even sound his voice, she suddenly walks away from her car.
He could see an unexplainable look in her expression as she search for something or someone. It was an expression he has never seen her make before.
The kind of expression that made him doubt himself as her man.
He didn't know why, but instead of continuing towards her like always, his steps slows to a stop. All he could do was stare at her through the crowd that separated them.
It felt like an entire day had gone by but must have been only a few seconds when she turn to look his way. He was relief that she saw him, but in a split second, she looked away like he wasn't there.
He swore in that moment, he saw his entire world crumble and panic began to rise inside him.
To point of her disregarding him, who is it that she is looking for?
His eyes couldn't help but look at his surroundings. He didn't know what or who is looking for, but something inside told him he had to.
However, when he was about to look across the street, he felt the first drop of rain trickle onto his cheek then another and another.
People quickly scatter to take cover. Some even bumped into him but ignores them and opens the umbrella. He even brush off the urging feeling inside to look for the unknown person.
His mind was only focused on his wife.
Through his steps towards her, he could see how lost and sad she looked causing his heart to ache for her. She didn't even think to hide from the rain, let alone bring an umbrella with her.
How can she be so foolish and not consider her health?
Stopping at arm's length from her, he stretch his arm holding the umbrella and blocks the rain from damping her any more than it already has.
He is the type of person who likes cleanliness and doesn't like to feel wet under the rain, but the him now didn't care.
"Yue Ling."
He spoke her name as natural as he could, but when he saw her turn around to look at him, he felt like someone had pulled the trigger of a gun and shot a bullet through his heart.
Her eyes weren't only moist like she was going to cry, but they held a tiny amount of disappointment as he was not the person she was looking for.
She was quick to notice that it was him and smile, but she wasn't quick enough to hide the look in her eyes.
"Tian."
She spoke his name with her soft and angelic voice that he loves so much. However, at this moment, the way she said it was like tiny needles pricking the bullet wound in his heart.
Yue Ling stares up at the man in front her. She was completely oblivious to his inner thoughts and stretch her hand to grab the sleeve of his coat.
Pulling him forward, she made sure to get him under the umbrella too. Loosening her grip on his coat, she raise her hand and flicks away the water droplets on his shoulders as they have yet to absorb through his coat.
"It's raining, what are you doing here? Why didn't you tell me that you were nearby?"
Lu Tian never once avert his gaze from her face. His mind was filled with millions of questions, but he couldn't bring himself to ask. All he could do was inhale a deep breath and answer her.
"I wanted to surprise you."
Hearing his answer, Yue Ling sighs a chuckle. She continues to wipe away the water droplets until she was sure there was no more.
"You should have told me. If I had known, I would have waited for you."
She looks up at him and her smile widens.
"Have you eaten yet? What about your car?"
As her words fell, she looks around for his car, but to her surprise, his usual eye-catching car was nowhere in sight. Her brows slightly furrow, and she looks back at him.
"Did you walk here?"
Eyes still glued on her, Lu Tian doesn't sound a word but lightly nod his head once.
Yue Ling was astounded by his answer. She knew that the restaurant was near his company, but she never expected that he would walk here.
Staring at him, she came to realize that he never once looked away from her. A strange feeling came over her and she lifts her hand to touch his forehead.
"Tian, what's wrong? Are you not feeling— mf."
Halfway through her words, Lu Tian was no longer able to hold himself back. His free hand slides under her arm to hold her smooth back. He pulls her towards him to close the gap between them and lowers his head.
He seals her soft lips with his and stops her from saying another word. As he close his eyes, he didn't forget to inhale her scent as if to reassure himself of something.
Yue Ling was caught by surprise at his sudden move. The street was less crowded with people due to the rain, but they were still in public.
Both her palms was press against his chest, but she doesn't push him away. Instead, she close her eyes and a smile curls on her lips.
Her arms slides up and wraps around his neck as the feelings she felt seconds ago quickly disappear and all she could think about was the man in front of her.
The man she wholeheartedly loves.
Lu Tian was slightly taken back by surprise when he felt her return the kiss. Her response was able to ease the doubt inside him and he relaxed a little.
This meant that she still loves him, and he doesn't have to worry about what he just saw.
However, he partially opens his eyes and glance to the left then to the right.
He sends a look of warning to whoever it was that his wife was looking for as if he was telling this person to back off because his wife can only belong to him.
