Chapter 729 Eat lunch only

As the early afternoon sky arrives over Imperial, Lu Tian parks his car in front of a stunning building. He steps out from the driver's side and walks over to the passenger side to help his wife out.

Yue Ling stepped out as he closes the door behind her then hands the key to the valet worker. She stares up at the building in a daze before looking at Lu Tian.

"Why are we here?"

The place she had been taken to was none other than the Rosewood Hotel. The very hotel own by Lu Tian and one of the top three in Imperial.

Her question had yet to fall when she quietly gasp. She locks one arm with his and leans closer to him to not attract any attention.

"Tian, don't tell me you brought me here to…"

Unable to finish her words, she swallows a hard gulp as her heart starts to beat rapidly like it was going to burst out from her.

How did she not put the pieces together?

He said they were going somewhere to have some privacy. To be taken to this place, it can only mean 'that', right?

Lu Tian glances down at her. Seeing her flustered face, he chuckles softly. Even without asking, he knew exactly what she was thinking about.

His free hand raises, and he gently pinches her nose with another chuckle.

"You always say I am shameless, but with the way you're thinking, I think you're more shameless than me."

He looks at the hotel building and walks her to the door.

"I brought you here for lunch and finish our discussion about the meeting."

Yue Ling felt like she was standing on top of a volcano. The burning sensation on her cheeks was beginning to spread to her ears.

Knowing she was embarrassed, Lu Tian smile and leans closer to her to tease her.

"Unless you want me to be shameless with you. We can relocate our meeting to home."

He glances back at Rosewood Hotel and his smile turns into a devilish one with mischief.

"Then again, we are already here. Should I just book an executive suite for us?"

"…"

Yue Ling's entire face turned as red as a baboon's bottom. She couldn't think of anything to refute him and hits his arm. Her cheeks puff like a chipmunk and she lets go of his arm.

"Lunch. Let's eat lunch only."

She strides away leaving Lu Tian alone. A faint smile curls on his face, but feeling the emptiness on his arm, he takes big long steps to catch up to her.

Behind the couple, the valet worker had yet to drive the car away. He stares at the couple's departing figure and could not believe that he was seeing the two infamous people in Imperial together.

As one should know, despite Yue Ling and Lu Tian being famous people, it is not common to see them in public.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Lu and Miss Han."

Upon their entrance, a hostess greets them with a smile. She wore a black uniform and gestures a slight bow.

"Everything at your request has been prepared in advanced."

Lu Tian did not look at the woman but stares ahead. His entire demeanor changed from a loving husband to the cold and ruthless man that he is.

He nods his head in indication for the hostess to lead the way.

Yue Ling followed his steps, but she didn't forget to look around the place. She has been here a few times, but it was still as beautiful as ever. It made one feel like they were on vacation and had all the time in the world to relax.

As her eyes wander around, Lu Tian's figure soon came to her view. She felt a wave of guilt wash inside her for what happened in the morning. He had taken care of her drunken state all night and even took the time to prepare breakfast for her.

Instead of thanking him, she left him to eat alone in their big house.

She even thought about calling him after the meeting and treat him out for lunch. However, who would have known that he was the person she was meeting with.

Lost in her thoughts, they soon enter the elevator, and she comes to a decision. Since Lu Tian prepared lunch for her, she will pay the cost.

However, what she did not know is, Lu Tian had already paid for everything in advance. He knows that she is the kind of person who does not like to owe anyone anything. So with her personality, she will no doubt offer to pay for their meal.

The elevator ride did not take long since they were the only ones inside with the hostess. Within minutes, the elevator bell chimes and the door slides open.

Yue Ling inhales a smile and steps out of the metal box. From every angle she stood, she could see a panoramic view of Imperial.

She ignores the man next to her and walks over to the edge of the rooftop. She places her palm on the black metal rail and sighs at the view.

No matter how many places she has been to, she has to admit, the best place to see Imperial with always be here.

Lu Tian stares at her back figure with softened eyes. He motions a gesture to the hostess to bring out the food prepared.

The hostess nods her head and leaves the couple to instruct the servers.

Lifting one leg, Lu Tian takes a step forward then another as he slowly approaches his wife. The view of her from behind was like a mysterious abyss that always drew him to her.

However, the longer he gazed at her, he thought about the time they were at the beach in City Z.

No matter how many times the ocean wave washed away her footprints, he was there to replace her steps with his.

The corners of his lip arcs up into a faint smile and his steps slow down so that he can continue to admire her.

He will take her around the world and show her all the beautiful views life has to offer. As long as she remains in front of him and be his beautiful view.

Always in front of him, so that he can be her eyes in the places she cannot see.

He comes to a stop behind her and gently wraps his arms around her waist. He nestles his chin on her shoulder and stares out to the same view as her.

"How is your headache?"

Yue Ling slightly jumps at his sudden hug. However, feeling his touch, she relaxed and tilts her head to leans against his.

"Better now."

She had woken up with a hangover, but with everything that happened, she seemed to have disregarded the pounding sensation she had.

Thinking this, she remembers something and turns around to face him.

"About the contract, instead of 10 years, can we settle on 3 years?"

Lu Tian frowned at her words. One second ago, they were being lovey-dovey and now, they're back to discussing business. He sighs inside and takes hold of her hand.

"We can discuss it after eating."

He suggested ten years because they are going to be husband and wife. As her husband, it is only natural for him to give her the best of the best and most people would be happy to get help from family members, right?

However, why does it seem like his wife is not happy knowing that Cloth Co. belongs to the Lu family?
