Away from the heart of Imperial, Lu Tian had returned home from visiting Zhang Tech. He remained in the study after Xu Long left for home. 

He sat behind his desk and stared at the phone in his hand. Saved on the screen was a photo of Yue Ling smiling at the camera, but the more he stared at his lock screen, the more he missed her.

With this feeling of longing inside him, he opens up his call log, and his thumb hovers over her name, itching to press it.

However, he closes his eyes to suppress the urge to do so.

He sets his phone aside and takes a deep breath. As much as he wants to hear her voice again, he shouldn't bother her while she is working.

"Just a few more hours."

He whispers to calm his mind and reaches for the keyboard. Once he had composed himself, his fingers began to dance over the keyboard with his eyes glued to the monitor.

After his conversation with Zhang Chao, he was interested in the case he worked on. If he can find out who this other person is, this person may have information he may have missed in finding Choi Li Sun.

Seconds had turned into minutes; before anyone realized it, hours had passed with the sun setting on the horizon.

Yue Ling's white BMW x5m enters the gate of her home and stops in the driveway. She exits the car and walks to the back seat to retrieve her work bag and a white take-out bag.

She notices Lu Tian's car in the driveway, and a smile curls on her lips. She wasted no time and entered the front door.

However, the second she walked inside the house, she was welcomed with silence.

She places the things in her hands on a nearby table to change out of her shoes while scanning the area in front of her.

"Tian?"

She calls out to him but receives no response in return. The crease between her brows tightens, and she grabs the white take-out bag, making her to the kitchen.

After setting the bag on the dining table, she decides to find the man working from home.

She knew he often had his smoke break, so she checked the back patio. However, it was empty.

Putting little thought into it, she makes her way upstairs. Since he wasn't outside, he could only be in one place.

And just as she had suspected, the man she was looking for was cooped up in the study.

She leaned against the door frame with her arms folded over her chest and took in the sight of him.

Lu Tian sat with his eyes on the monitor, fingers typing away. He had changed into a comfy set of black loungewear, his hair unfixed, slightly covering his forehead.

His exclusive feature, combined with the glistening rays of light from the window, made him look all the more dignified.

She inhales a small breath that turns into a smile as she can't help but fall more in love with the man.

Noticing a figure from his peripheral vision, Lu Tian's hands stop what they are doing, and he turns to look at the person.

When his eyes meet the familiar bluish-green eyes he loves so much, the corners of his mouth curl up before his pearly white teeth come into view.

"You're home."

His words fall, and he gets up from the chair. As he did so, his right-hand naturally raised to his head, and his finger ran through his hair, combing it back to reveal his forehead.

Yue Ling's eyes follow his every move, and her heart skips a beat. She slowly flutters her eyes, and he is now standing before her.

She tilts her head back a bit and smiles up at him. Her eyes never left his.

"I'm home."

The smile on Lu Tian's face turned subtle but did not disappear. He takes her hand into his and kisses the tips of her fingers.

"Welcome home."

He doesn't stop there as he gently pulls her into an embrace and places a kiss on her forehead.Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on Noᴠel Fɪre.net

"I missed you so much."

Yue Ling's cheeks turned crimson red at his affectionate actions. She clutched her chest, and her eyes closed to inhale his spicy scent with a touch of sweetness. 

Being in his arms after a long day of work was her haven.

Her fingers grip tighter onto her chest, and she whispers a grunt.

"My heart really cannot take it."

Lu Tian frowns and leans back but doesn't let go of her. He looks down at his wife, and a faint hint of worry flashes in his eyes.

"What is it? Are you not feeling well?"

He noticed her flushed cheek and touched her forehead with his left palm. Feeling unsatisfied, he moves his hand and lowers his head until his forehead is gently pressed against hers.

The second he did this, Yue Ling felt her heart beat faster. 

She laughs at his worried behavior and moves her head away, but only to kiss him on the lips as her arms wrap around his waist.

"I missed you too."

She gazed into his eyes and saw the mixtures of relief and surprise in them. She couldn't help but laugh again and moved away from him.

"Did you eat yet? I stopped by Elegancy before coming home."

Lu Tian was a little disappointed that she was no longer in his arms, but hearing her words, he realized the orange shade of light in the room. 

He could tell without looking at the clock that it was already past 6 pm. 

Yue Ling smiles at his dazed expression and takes his hand, leading him out of the study room.

"If my guess is correct, you must have forgotten to eat."

She could make this guess because she was like that too. If she was too immersed in work or working from home, she would forget the time and forget to eat.

Lu Tian let out a faint mm as he felt ashamed to admit she was right. In the past, there were times when he didn't eat for days, and if it were not for his mother and Xu Long reminding him, he would probably die on an empty stomach.

Now, he always ate at home because his wife was here with him. 

However, staring at the back of his wife, he felt regretful.

He was working from home; the least he could have done was prepare dinner when she came home.

With this thought, he makes a decision. 

He will make sure dinner is on the table before his wife is home.
