Chapter 785 It can be a quickie
Lu Tian stares with darkened eyes, and his throat dried like the desert. He stares down at his wife's flawless back covered from the waist down by the dress.
His Adam's apple bobs with difficulty, but he was able to swallow his saliva.
'Do it. She's your wife. No one will hear you two.'
A voice full of mischief sounds inside Lu Tian's head. His inner demon pops into view at his shoulder and ushers him with a little push.
'Remember, it can be a quickie.'
Lu Tian felt his body turn hotter than usual the more he stares at his wife. His inner demon was right. They are being blocked from view by a shelf, and if they're quiet enough, no one will hear them.
His head slowly lowers, and he leans in to kiss the back of her neck.
'No, no, no. Don't do it.'
Before his inner demon could take full control over him, a calm voice sounds in his head and stops him. The holy side of him appears with righteousness.
'If you don't wish to anger your wife, don't do it. Only do what she asked you to do.'
The two voices in his head overlap one another in telling what is right and what is wrong. He presses his lips tightly together and tries to force back the burning urge inside him to take his wife.
'Remember! Happy wife, happy life!!'
The holy side of him screams inside him, and he closes his eyes to inhale another deep breath. Once he had calmed down and opened his eyes, he leans down and places a small kiss on the back of his wife's delicate neck.
"Tian?"
Yue Ling couldn't help but calls out to him. She had been standing in front of him for a few seconds, but seeing him not moving, she thought he might not have heard her.
"Can you help— ah!"
She had yet to finish her sentence when she felt his lips brush against her nape. She swore it was like she had been electrocuted by him.
However, afraid of the danger that lurked behind that kiss, she doesn't dare move or make a sound.
Seeing her reaction, Lu Tian smiles a small chuckle. He moves away from her and straightens his posture before reaching for the zipper.
As he pulls the zipper up at a slow pace, he leans over her shoulder and kisses the side of her head, then whispers near her ear in a devilish tone.
"Sorry. You're so beautiful, I couldn't resist."
Yue Ling stares with unblinking eyes at the space in front of her. This time, it was her, who's throat became dry, and she seemed to be having trouble with swallowing.
The second she heard the zipper click into place, she doesn't stay to chat and walks away at an exceedingly fast pace. If she waits for another second, who knows what Lu Tian will do to her.
"Yue Ling."
She had only taken three steps when her right wrist was suddenly captured by the man behind her. Her body was then gently forced to turn around, and she collides against his chest.
Lu Tian lowers his head, and without giving her any warning, his lip covers her lip. He seals away any unspoken word she had yet to say and sighs a faint groan at the taste of her lips.
He doesn't deepen the kiss but pulls away with reluctance in his eyes. He raises a hand and caresses her cheek with his fingers, then smiles.
"Let's not keep them waiting. If we do, they might come find us and catch us in the act."
Yue Ling melted like butter from his sudden kiss. However, when she heard his words full of teasing, she quickly turns into chilled butter.
She sends him a glare with a flustered face, and not knowing what to say, she sends him a punch on his chest. Of course, she made sure not to use too much strength in fear of hurting him.
Seeing her fist nearing him, Lu Tian doesn't dodge it but takes it like a man. His posture slouches a little, and he clutches onto his left chest like he was in intense pain.
"My heart…"
He looks at his wife with innocent eyes like she had indeed hurt him, and he had been wronged by her.
"It beats only for you."
"…"
Yue Ling scoffs in disbelief at the man standing in front of her. She had seriously thought she might have punched him too much and grew worried when she saw his expression. However, all that thought quickly disperse into thin air at his bluff.
She had heard from others that Lu Tian is a cold and ruthless man without ever showing mercy to anyone. Yet, from her point of view, could it be that everyone is overexaggerating the man?
The man standing in front of her very capable, but the majority of the time, he is either shameless or eating vinegar.
Shaking her head, she disregards all thoughts. She doesn't check to see if he is alright and walks away. After all, he had the time to joke, so he should be okay.
"Just what in the world goes on in his head?"
She murmurs to herself with waves of mixed emotions stirring in her heart.
"Ah Ling, where's Tian? Why is your face so red? Are you not feeling well?"
Just as Yue Ling walked out from behind the shelf, Madam Lu strides over to her and asks with worried.
"Tell me, are you not feeling well? I can call a doctor to come here."
Yue Ling calmed down at the sight of Madam Lu. She shakes her head and reassures the middle-aged woman.
"I'm not sick. The room is just a little too warm."
Madam Lu nods her head. She didn't stop to think that it was her son's fault for the cause of Yue Ling's red face.
She pushes her anxious thought away and ushers her daughter-in-law to where Madam Zhao and Zhao Ya'Er were still waiting.
"Come, the tailor is here to see if any adjustments need to be done to the dress."
As the two women walk away, Lu Tian steps out from behind the shelf. He doesn't follow them by leans one shoulder against the frame as his arms are folded over his chest.
He was happy that his wife and his mother got along well. The two women's encounters were short, but they seemed to look like mother and daughter compared to mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
*Ring-ring
His thoughts hadn't traveled far when he was interrupted by the ringing of the phone inside his coat pocket.
He takes the phone out and looks down at the screen. His eyebrows slightly wrinkle when he saw the caller's name. He presses the answer button.
Bringing the phone to his ear, he kept his gaze on his wife, following her every step as his deep voice sounds.
"Speak."
