Unexpected Second Chance at Love-Chapter 944 If only it were possible

Morning came with grey clouds lingering above in the sky. While others were preparing for the start of their usual schedule, Yue Ling lay on the king-sized bed in peace.

Her brows furrowed as the light shining from the window touched her face. However, feeling the softness of the warm pillow against her cheeks made her smile.

"Hmm…"

She sighs a soft moan and snuggles closer to the pillow, inhaling the scent of sandalwood. However, her eyes fluttered open at the realization of something.

What she thought to be a pillow was not a pillow but Lu Tian.

She was huddled in his arms, and his chest was the warm pillow she was feeling.

She gazes at his sleeping face with her cheeks a slight shade of pink, like she is embarrassed. It was no wonder she felt warm and safe.

Her thoughts ran in many directions until she pursed her lips at the thought of something.

When did he get home? Was she so out of it that she didn't even hear him come home, let alone get in bed?

Just as the thought came to her, she took another look at his sleeping face.

Seeing the crease between his eyebrows, she sighs a smile. She props herself up in bed, making sure not to wake the man up with her movements.

Her arm reached toward his face and gently caressed the space between Lu Tian's eyebrows. She wanted to smooth away any bad dreams that caused him to frown in his sleep.

And just like that, the crease between his brows disappeared at her touch like magic.

She couldn't help but smile proudly at herself before leaning up to give him a kiss. However, her lips could only touch his chin due to their position.

Although she didn't kiss him on the lips, she was pleased with herself and slowly moved his arm over her to get up.

She needed to get ready for work and prepare breakfast.

However, the arm she attempted to move suddenly moved, and her eyes shook.

"Ah!"

She yelped in surprise as she was pulled back into the embrace of the man who was supposed to be sleeping.

Lu Tian's eyes remained closed, and he hugged her tighter despite her being in his arms. It was as if he wanted to kneed her into one with him.

"Good morning, Mrs. Lu."

Yue Ling's cheeks turned red at his morning greeting. She presses her lips tightly to keep her smile from widening. However, the longer she stared at his handsome face, the more her eyes narrowed with suspicion.

"How long have you been awake?"

She was sure he was asleep when she woke up at the realization of being in his arms. Of course, she could have been wrong, too. Maybe her movements were the cause for waking him.

Lu Tian remained unmoving with his eyes closed. However, he doesn't ignore his wife's question.

"Not too long."

His words fell, and his eyes leisurely opened to meet his wife's bluish-green eyes. He leans closer to her face, and one corner of his lip raises into a side smirk.

"But I am quite sad that you missed."

Yue Ling was confused by his words. However, it didn't take long before she understood him. Her face turned brightly red, and she opened her mouth to refute him, but before she could make a sound, her lips were sealed by his.

Feeling his lips pressed against hers, she couldn't help but smile. Her eyes gradually close, and she returns his kiss.

Their morning kiss began with a gentle peck before becoming rough yet passionate.

The room soon resonated with the faintness of their heavy breaths.

Lu Tian held his wife with one arm while his other hand softly caressed every curve of her body. Bringing that hand up to her head, he held her nape, deepening their kiss even more.

If he could, he would have made time stop for this moment. He never wants to be away from her, but knowing he cannot be greedy for her time, he reluctantly pulls away.

He pressed his head against her forehead and gazed at her eyes that always drew him in.

"You should get ready for work."

Yue Ling was disappointed that they had to stop. She didn't know why, but despite being able to see him every day, she couldn't help but miss him.

She stares at him briefly before snuggling herself in his embrace. Her arms wrapped around his waist, and she sighed.

"Maybe I should bring my work home too. That way, I can just look at you when I miss you."

Her words took Lu Tian aback, but a wide smile soon curled on his face. He hugs her tighter and places his chin on her head.

"I like that idea."

The thought of them working together in the same room was something he had always wanted.

However, their career choices were very different.

He is a businessman, and his wife is a fashion designer. In spite of their busy schedule, it was fortunate enough that they were able to be together at home.

A small sigh escapes his lips, and Yue Ling speaks first before he can speak a word.

"If only it were possible."

She leans her head back to look at him, and her expression turns doleful, her bottom lip pluckering.

"I still have to prepare for the launch of De L'amour's new designs and follow up with your mother on how the designs are coming along. I also need to check with my team on the project I assigned them. I cannot afford to be away from the office at this time."

Lu Tian knew that his wife was busier with work than him, and this side of her was one of the many traits that made him love her even more.

If he could be a little bit more selfish, he would ask her to quit her job and be a stay-at-home wife. His money is for her to spend, and she can do whatever she wants. He will also be able to see her any time, and she can spend more time with Grandfather Ji and Ji Jingxu.

However, he knows better than anyone that his wife's standing in life today is the result of the hard work she built.

If he were to ask her to quit, it would be like he is asking her to give up her needs to fulfill his, and that is something he never wants to do.

He kisses her on the forehead and nods his head in understanding.

"Maybe next time, then."

Yue Ling felt a tinge of regret as she watched Lu Tian's face move away. However, the more she stared at his face, the more she felt herself soften.

The sight of him always had its way of taking her breath away, along with all her thoughts.

Lu Tian notices her gaze, and he holds his chin in one hand. He smiles at her but does not forget to hold her hand with his other free hand.

"Do you like looking at me?"

His question puts a smile on Yue Ling's face, and she laughs. She gently squeezes his hand entwined with her own and calmly blinks her eyes.

"I do. If possible, I can stare at you all day and never be tired."

Her response surprisingly took aback Lu Tian. He lets out a laugh and leans slightly closer to her.

"Then never stop looking at me. My entire being exists only for you."

He meant every word. He never wants her to direct how she looks at him or someone else. Only God knows how mad he would become if that day were to come.

Yue Ling's eyes shook at the sudden closeness of his face. For a moment, she thought he would kiss her again, but to her surprise, he didn't.

Her bluish-green eyes fell into the deep abyss of his dark eyes, and her lips gradually raised into a smile. She scoots closer to him, their noses almost touching.

"I'm glad you exist for me."

Her last word fell, and she gave him a small kiss on the lips.

"But unfortunately, I have to get ready for work."

She doesn't wait for his reaction and sits up from bed. However, before getting out of bed, she gives him another kiss.

This time, on the forehead.

As she walked away to get ready, Lu Tian was speechless in bed. His eyes followed her every move until she disappeared into the bathroom.

The sound of the shower water running brought him back to his senses, and he smiled like a teenage boy who just had his first kiss.

He sits up but doesn't get out of bed and lightly touches his forehead. His smile grew bigger before letting out a deep sigh.

"Hah… I miss her already."

And the second those words slipped his mouth, he pulled the blanket off him and stood up from bed. He wants to be the best husband for his wife, and the first thing he should do for her in the morning is prepare an excellent breakfast.

After all, he will be home for a few more days, and the least he can do is be a good househusband.
