*Thump thump— thump thump—
Frozen in place, Yue Ling swore her heart had stopped beating when she saw Lu Tian's face. As she began to feel and hear her heart start to beat again, she finally blinks her eyes.
Worried flash in her eyes and she scolds him.
"Why didn't you say anything? I could have killed you."
Lu Tian stood unmoving as he stares down at his wife. The look on his face was not his usual cold and indifferent expression, but one full of astonishment.
His eyes were slightly widened as he could not believe he almost died in the hands of his wife.
In the hands of the woman he loves.
If it wasn't because he had quick reflexes, he swore that bullet would have entered his head the moment he stepped inside the room.
And her kick.
He stares at her for a brief second before slowly lowering his head to look at her slim left leg. He was still holding it captive with his right arm.
An unknowingly shiver crawls down the back of his spine as her leg looked so slim like it was the size of his arm.
He swore one tap and her leg would break. However, the second he blocked her kick, he could tell how strong it was.
It was enough to hurt him, maybe even cripple him.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but caress the side of her leg with his thumb.
His head doesn't look up at her, but his dark eyes does.
"I don't mind dying in your arms."
"…"
His sudden words made Yue Ling's cheeks burn in a shade of crimson red. Her eyes slightly widen, and she press her lips tightly together.
She didn't know what to feel as she felt embarrass for almost killing him, or embarrassed about his words.
Without any care of whether he'll be hurt or not, she hits his arm with her free hand.
"Don't say that! I could have really killed you!"
She raised her voice, but not loud enough to alert the enemy.
How can he say something like that? She could have really killed him.
Lu Tian continues to stare at her as her angry expression made his heart flutter. The corners of his lip slowly arc up into a very seductive smirk.
When he said didn't mind dying in her arms, he meant in bed.
However, seeing how angry and fluster she is at this moment, he decides not to tease her. If he does, she might really kill him.
Just as he thought this, Liu Shan's voice connects to his earpiece and the assistants voice comes in with a cough.
["Ahem. I know you are happy to see her, but a group is nearing your way."]
The assistant couldn't see what is going on inside the room, but he was still able to hear. As much as he doesn't want to, he can already guess what is going on between them.
Not only him, everyone else on standby can hear their conversation too.
Hearing the assistant's words, Lu Tian already knew that everyone heard what he said, but he doesn't care.
Thinking back to Liu Shan's words, he doesn't let go of his wife's leg, but picks her up with his left arm. Taking two big strides, he swiftly, but gently press her against the wall.
The wall that was her hiding spot from the enemy eyes.
Yue Ling's eyes shook as she was struck dumbfounded. She did not expect Lu Tian to suddenly pick her up and tower over her like this.
Her mind couldn't help but turn into a chaotic mess. Is he planning to do something shameless to her?
No, they can't. Not right now. Not with their current situation.
"Tian—"
Just as she was able to say his name, her agape mouth was quickly captured by the man. Every word she wanted to say was swallowed back by his kiss.
Her cheeks flush more than they already are, and her eyes widen.
She wanted to push him away, but it was like her body had a mind of its own. She held his neck with one hand and returned the kiss as her eyes flutter close.
"Did you guys find the woman?"
The moment her eyes close, the voices of the enemy can be heard from outside the room.
She abruptly opens her eyes and tries to push Lu Tian away. She wanted to tell him to stop as their enemy was just feet away from them.
However, the man was like a firm pillar and was unaffected by her. Even he did not oblige to listen to what she has to say. Instead, he deepens the kiss like it was going to be their last.
"Everyone move outside and search for her. She must not have gotten far."
As the footsteps scattered away, Lu Tian finally pulls away from her. He was reluctant, but he had to control himself as this was not the place for this.
He gently set her down and smiles satisfying at her like all his energy had been recharged.
Seeing that her lips were slightly redder and cheeks more fluster, he lowers his head again. Giving her a quick peck on her lips one more time, he changes back to his aloof demeanor.
"Ready?"
Yue Ling stares up at the man in completely utter disbelief. She could not believe he did what he did to silence her.
All he had to do was just tell her that the enemy was nearby.
Holding herself back from strangling the man in front of her, she takes a deep breath and nods her head to let him know she is ready.
Seeing her answer, Lu Tian held back the urge to smile. He raise his hand and his index finger press a button on the earpiece to connect him to the others.
"Move in."
[Jiangyu: "Roger Captain."]
[Lin Hui: "Let's get the show on the road."]
[Gui Tian Lan: "These bastards are going to wish they never lived."]
[Qi Li: "Time to collect their fate."]
[Li Wei: "Um… White Tiger going into action?"]
As his words fell, one after another, multiple voices sound through the earpiece from different directions.
Alpha Team, Wolf Team and Li Wei did not hesitate to do as ordered. They had been waiting for this signal as they could not wait to end the lives of their bastard enemies.
As everyone outside commence forward, Lu Tian looks at his wife and like the two could naturally understand one another, both individuals give a silent nod.
