Lu Tian looks at his younger brother. His eyes glaring viciously at the man. Not saying a word, he stood from the sofa and walks out to the backyard. He needs a cigarette to calm himself.
From the livingroom, Lu Han was dumbfounded. His eyes followed his older brother until the mighty figure disappears from view.
He frown, then taking out his phone, he dials a number. After two rings, someone picked up from the other line. However, he didn't wait for the person to answer, he cuts in.
"Hey, what's wrong with my older bro today? Did someone offend him?"
["....."]
"Hello? Xu Long? Hello?"
["Nothing is wrong with boss. He's perfectly fine and healthy."]
"..."
["If that's all, please excuse me. I have some paperwork to finish for boss."]
"..."
Listening to the sound of Xu Long ending the call, Lu Han was dumbfounded. He moves the phone from his ear and looks at it, then he looks in the direction his older brother went.
Outside, Lu Tian sat on a chair in the patio. He stares out to the open back yard of Lu Household. When his eyes landed on the white fluff ball running and jumping with freedom, his mind couldn't help but wonder to his wife.
Yue Ling had told him about Beauty's request for her to model. At first, he didn't find anything wrong with the idea. Even if she wasn't a model anymore, if she wants to model, he will support her fully. Anything she wants to do, he will always be on her side.
However, it later dawned on him that his wife was going to be in a magazine. Imagining his wife beautiful face in a magazine, he couldn't help but eat vinegar. This magazine is very famous in Asian and with his wife in it, just how many bees will come buzzing in her way....
Not only that, for the past few days, he had purposely used more force during their intimacy. Taking her under him roughly. His plan was to tire her out and make her unable to stand, which did happen. She could barely walk after he was done with her. But who would have thought, she'd escape in the morning before he even woke up.
Then, his father called and told him to visit the Lu Household. His cousin was visiting. So, left with no other choice drove here and also reluctantly brought his enemy along.
As much as he didn't like the furry beast, he knew the little guy was probably tired and bored of always staying home alone.
"Hmm....."
Lu Tian takes a deep breath, then he takes a puff of his cigarette.
"I wonder, who is it that has the capability to make my cold cousin sigh?"
The sound of a woman's voice trail from behind Lu Tian. Calmly, he sat up and turn to look at the woman. His expression emotionless as usual. This woman is his only girl cousin from his mother's side.
"Ya'Er."
Zhao Ya'Er grinned at Lu Tian. She walks over to one of the chairs and sat down. Looking out to the yard, she shriek in joy.
"Oh my gosh! It's a Samoyed!!!"
Lu Tian arch a brow at his cousin. He's never asked Yue Ling what kind of breed Inu was, but his cousin knows? He turns to look at Inu who was running in the open yard, chasing birds that land on the grass.
"Lu Tian, where did you get this dog? Do you know how much he cost? Not only that, they love attention and they are super friendly."
Hearing his cousin's description of Inu, Lu Tian was dumbfounded. Loves attention? Yes, the little guy loves getting attention from his wife. Friendly? Uh, maybe only towards his wife.
However, he didn't say anything except shrug his shoulder indifferently.
Zhao Ya'Er turn from Inu and looks at Lu Tian. She sighs inside seeing the handsome man, but with that cold expression on him, she sighs again. It's no wonder he hasn't found himself a woman and got himself a dog. That look of his can make any women fall for him, but at the same time, it can scare them away too...
Then again, she's found the right woman for him. It did take her a long time, but she knows she's found the perfect woman for him!
She leans forward and grin at her cousin.
Seeing his cousin's movement, Lu Tian didn't falter one bit. He arch a brow as if saying, 'What?'
"Lu Tian, I found the perfect woman for you!"
"Not interested."
"Why? She's beautiful, like very very very veeeery beautiful. If you meet her, you will fall for her right away!"
'Only my wife is beautiful in my eyes.'
Lu Tian thought the words, but he didn't say it aloud. He wanted Yue Ling's approval before he tells his family members about their relationship.
Oblivious to her cousin's thoughts, Zhao Ya'Er continues her bragging, "I swear, she's the perfect woman. No woman can compare to her."
Lu Tian: "....." 'My wife is perfect. No one can compare to her.'
Zhao Ya'Er: "She has the best personality."
Lu Tian: "....." 'My wife has the best personality.'
Zhao Ya'Er: "You will fall in love with her when you meet her."
Lu Tian: "...." 'I've already fallen in love with my wife.'
Zhao Ya'Er: "I'm telling you Lu Tian, you won't be disappointed. Ha—"
Lu Han: "What are you guys talking about?"
From the door, Lu Han walks out and interrupts Zhao Ya'Er's words. He sits in the seat next to his cousin and nudge her with his elbow.
"Tell me Ya'Er, what were you telling my older bro?"
Zhao Ya'Er glares at Lu Han. She was in the middle of introducing her best friend, Han Yue Ling to her older cousin. How dare this puny cousin of hers interrupt her. She slaps Lu Han on the head, "I was introducing my best friend to Lu Tian. Why couldn't you just wait a few more seconds before interrupting us!"
Lu Han: "....."
He was really dumbfounded. He stare at his cousin with heavy eyes as he rub his head. Isn't he her cousin too? Why isn't she introducing her friends to him?
He pursed his lip, "Ya'Er, I'm your cousin too." Then like a light bulb switched on, he grin and lean to his cousin, "Let me meet this friend of yours. Is she pretty? Come on, don't hide the details."
Zhao Ya'Er looked at her cousin and snorted, "As if I'd show you. You change your women like you change your clothes. If anyone, why don't you try Xie Na. She seems very interested in you."
Hearing the name, Lu Han shiver in goosebumps. He motion a gag, but nothing came out.
"My dear cousin, how can you throw such a lowly woman to this mundane emperor and give the goddess to the heavenly emperor? So unfair."
This time, it was Zhao Ya'Er who stare with heavy eyes. Mundane emperor? Heavenly emperor? Just what is her cousin talking about?
Lu Tian stare at the two people. He sighed inside. How can he have such busy body family members? Killing the cigarette in his hand, he stood from his chair and walks back inside the house.
Inu's ears perk up, he looks in Lu Tian's direction, then he walks to rest under a tree. Since the evil peasant hasn't called for him, that means he can still play after he wakes up from his nap.
Only thing missing, was his favorite peasant. Just how great it'd be if his mommy was here.
