Chapter 237 Peaceful
"Do you like this room that much?"
Lu Tian asks as he walks up to his wife. He stood behind her and wrap his arms around her waist. His head rest against hers and he gently caress her yet to protrude stomach.
Hearing the question, Yue Ling smile and leaned her head back to rest on his chest. Her bluish green eyes gaze out to what is currently in front of her.
"It's very peaceful here..."
From every room she had looked at inside this big house, the room she is standing in at this moment is her most favorite. Although this is on the second floor, there is a set of spiral stairs that leads to the room below.
She couldn't help but sigh with the feeling of relaxation. Lifting her hands, she place them over Lu Tian's.
If she had thought the view at her penthouse balcony was mind easing, she had most likely thought wrong.
A garden room with lightweight roof made of opaque. Insulated panels over crystal clear glazed wall panels allowing one to see the solid green trees created by Mother Nature. Not only is that not enough, the perfect panoramic view of Imperial can be seen in the distance.
The scene in front of her right now is the sole definition of 'peace'. Who would have thought that a simple garden room would be this soothing to the soul....
It is no wonder her Yeye chose to live the way he did. Far away from the city, yet at a close distance at the same time.
Standing closely behind her like glue, Lu Tian could only sigh inside. He felt that same jealousy rise in him again.
From the moment they drove down the hill to the moment they stepped foot inside the house, his wife's attention had been fully on the house. To make things even worse, this adjoining garden room has decided to take all the space in his wife's eyes.
He feels slightly pity for himself for feeling this way towards a house, but he knows he can't. He shouldn't be jealous over a house, he has to remember the positive thing and that is, his wife likes this house.
Lu Tian close his eyes and inhale the unique scent of his wife that he loves so much. He felt his body relax with ease and his arm around her waist shift to tightness. However, he made sure not to add too much strength or it might harm their baby.
He could vision the future ahead.
A future where home is wherever Yue Ling and their child are.
*ring ring*
The phone that had been silent inside Lu Tian's coat suddenly rings. It echoes into the garden room with loudness.
He open his eyes not too slow not too fast, however, a frown was on his handsome define face.
Who dares to soil his quality time with his wife?!
Moving one hand from around Yue Ling's waist, he reach for the phone. As he answer the call, he made sure his other hand was still holding his wife and child close to him.
Looking down at the phone screen, he glare at the caller before answering it.
"Speak."
["Uhh.... Boss? Sorry to disturb your hehe precious moment, but I just received news about you know what, from you know who."]
"....."
Hearing this, Lu Tian pout his lip. He was irritated about the disturbance, but this matter is very important. He let out a small sigh for his restless soul and reluctantly pulls away from the warmth of his wife. However, before his hand around Yue Ling's waist could even move, she had moved first.
Yue Ling takes a step forward and turn to look at Lu Tian. She smiles at him allowing him to see her perfect straight white teeth.
"I'll go look around some more."
Looking at her mesmerizing smile, Lu Tian could help but feel a tinge of guilt inside. It wasn't that he didn't want her to hear the conversation. He could careless if she hears, if she wants to, he would even put all his calls on speaker.
The only thing is, this call is different. If she heard, it would ruin everything he had planned out.
Oblivious to his thoughts, Yue Ling didn't wait for a response from the man. When Lu Tian answered the call, the room was so quiet that she could hear Xu Long's loud energetic voice even if she didn't listen. She didn't pay attention to their conversation, because she is not the type to eavesdrop on others.
She nonchalantly walks pass him and couldn't wait to see more of the house.
Yet, before she could even walk one inch pass Lu Tian, he swiftly grabs her arm. Leaning towards her, he kisses her on the forehead.
"Don't wonder off too far. I'll be done quickly."
"Mm."
Yue Ling nod her head like an obedient child. She leaves the garden room and walks in the direction of her the next area in the house she wants to see.
Left alone in the room, Lu Tian takes two step closer to the window. He stare out to the view of Imperial in the distance, one hand holding the phone to his ear and the other in his pocket.
"Report."
["Boss, H International's representer will arrive in the evening."]
"Mm. Send Jiang Yu to pick the person up from the airport. No mishap is to happen to L'amour de ma vie."
["Right away, Boss. I will assign some members of Wolf Team to be on alert."]
"Mm."
Ending the call, Lu Tian place the phone back inside his coat pocket. He thought about his proposal, but only for a quick second.
Taking big strides, he leaves out the room in search of his beautiful wife's whereabouts.
In another part of the house, Yue Ling stood in the center of a large empty room. It had charcoal cement floorings and silver walls.
She walks back and forth with her arms opening every so often when she stopped. Now standing in the center of the room again, she touch her chin and pursed her lip.
"What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking this garage is a little too small...."
Lu Tian arch a brow and cross his arms over his chest. He is curious as to why she would say such a thing, especially when this garage is larger than your usual ones.
"This garage fits five to six cars."
Too immerse in her own thoughts, Yue Ling's brows furrow at the words and she tilt her head.
"Five to six cars? How will it fit all my beauties—"
"....."
Realization quickly flash back to Yue Ling. She swallow her remaining words and turn around to see Lu Tian standing at the door.
Forcing a smile, she chuckles and walks to him, "Ha Ha, Tian, you're done?"
Lu Tian nod his head in response and walks towards her to meet her halfway. He looks around the empty garage and thought about his wife's words.
The garage is too small to her liking....
He stops in front of her and reach out to hold her hand.
"You don't like the size of this garage?"
"....."
Yue Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry hearing his question. She clears her throat and shakes her head.
"It's fine the way it is."
Lu Tian gaze at his wife for a long second. Thinking of something, he lift his free hand and touch her cheek.
"I can build you a bigger garage."
"..."
Yue Ling was dumbfounded. She blinked her eyes then sigh. How romantic would it be if the topic had been something else?
"Tian, if I need a bigger garage, I can build it myself."
Lu Tian smile faintly and his thumb caress her cheek softly, "I want to build it for you."
"....."
No matter how many times it is, Yue Ling felt she will forever be rendered speechless or dumbfounded by this man.
Here they are, discussing matters about a garage.
If it had been something like a closet for her lifestyle or a baby's room, she would have understood. However, a garage? Really?
Yue Ling couldn't help but laugh at the idea of their conversation. She pats Lu Tian on the chest.
"Mm mm. I want a big garage that will fit fifty cars."
Lu Tian gaze down at his wife laughing. He swore, he can never get enough of her, but sometimes it difficult to understand her. Like right now, he couldn't tell if she was joking or being serious about fifty cars.
However, either one, he will still build her the perfect garage here.
Glancing at the empty garage, he tighten his hold on her hand and decides to walk her back to the house.
"Let's discuss about the 'garage' over lunch. I made reservations at Rosewood Hotel."
"...."
Yue Ling allowed him to lead the way, but when she heard his words, she rolled her eyes at him.
Reservations?
What kind of reservation is needed when Lu Tian is the owner of Rosewood Hotel?!
