Chapter 797 - Try for the experience
Stars filled the sky like diamonds glistening in the sky. The air that came with the night brought a cold sensation, but in a way that fills one with warmth and coziness.
While Liu Shan, Xu Long, Lin Hui, and Qi Li occupied Yue Ling and Lu Tian's home, the couple made their way to another place.
The place Lu Tian plans to bring his wife is secluded. A place, only he and his wife will be alone and if she wants, count the stars to her heart's content.
As his black Maserati Levante Trofeo passes through the streets of Imperial, it soon slows to a stop in front of substantial dark metal gates. A guard dressed from head to toe in black tactical gears steps out from the security booth. He walks over to the driver side window of Lu Tian's car as it rolls down.
"Good evening, Mr. Lu."
Lu Tian gestures a nod in response to the guard's greeting. He didn't need to say another word as the guard had been informed in advance about the aloof man's arrival.
He (guard) takes two steps back before turning his head to look at the security booth where another man dressed similar to him was inside. He raises one hand and gestures a signal.
"Open the gate."
The sound of metal clanking soon echoes into the night, and Lu Tian closes the window to mute out the sound. Once the gate was opened wide enough, he steps on the accelerator and drives the car forward.
Yue Ling had been silent the entire car ride. From the moment they left the house, she had been curious about where Lu Tian was going to take her but decided not to ask. By not knowing, she was feeling excited adrenaline inside her.
However, when they pulled up to the gate and saw the guard, she looked at Lu Tian.
She waited until they had driven away before asking the man.
"The two guard back there, they're not with your team?"
She had to ask because she found it interesting. The guard had addressed Lu Tian in a more formal way than Xu Long and Wolf Team. Of course, this didn't mean the assistant and the others were not humble.
From her perspective, Xu Long and Wolf Team are also Lu Tian's subordinates, but their way of interacting with him (Lu Tian) was like that of close friends. Whereas the guard back there held a sense of politeness, like an employee speaking to his superior.
Lu Tian didn't need to look at his wife to know what kind of expression she was making. His eyes remained focus on the road ahead, and controls the steering wheel.
"Team, yes. Wolf Team, no."
He makes a left turn into an empty lot then parks the car. He finally turns his head to look at his wife, and a faint smile curl on his lip.
"Wolf Team is my personal team that I chose and train. The two guards you saw at the gate and the ones securing this place are part of the Lu family's security team."
Yue Ling nods her head a few times in understanding. She didn't find any fault in his explanation as it wasn't strange for prominent families to have different types of guards.
Just like her, when she was still Mami. Everyone in Fate was her guard, but each Alpha Team member were the ones she had personally trained while the others were trained by Uncle Zhi before he left Fate.
Being reminded of the past life, she sighs a soft smile but doesn't dwell too much on it. She looks turns her gaze away from Lu Tian, and when her eyes settled out the window, she arches her brows in surprise.
At first, she didn't know where she had been taken to since it was dark, but now that they were inside the gates, she had a better view. The lights on the ground, along with the surrounding lampposts, were enough to let her know.
She then notices a substantial white object not too far from where they were parked, and she looks back at the man sitting in the driver's seat.
"I knew you had a place thought out, but I didn't think it would be a charter. Is this where we'll be sleeping?"
Her eyes narrow suspiciously, and Lu Tian laughs at her words. He looks around the place before turning the car engine off.
"This is my private charter."
He unbuckles his seatbelt, and without saying another word, he opens the door to step out.
After he dismissed the group at home, he had changed out of his clothes into a set of loungewear, giving him a relaxed appearance.
He walks around the front of the car's hood then stops at the passenger side to open the door for his wife.
"We're going on my private jet to the place."
Yue Ling stares questionably at the man standing in front of her before placing her palm over his. She looks at the substantial white object she saw. She knew it was a jet and wasn't surprised that it belongs to Lu Tian.
After all, it was quite normal for a businessman to have his own private jet for meetings.
"Good evening, Mr. Lu and Miss Han."
A middle-aged man wearing a dark pilot uniform greets the couple as he stops in front of them. Behind him was a younger man wearing a simple black suit. Both men gesture a polite bow, and the older man spoke again.
"The jet is ready."
Lu Tian turns away from the car as he closes the door. He then looks at the two men and then walks away with his wife in hand towards the private jet after giving instructions.
"Put the bags in the trunk on the jet."
The pilot and the young man nod their head in response. As they make their way to the trunk, Lu Tian and Yue Ling arrive at the airstair leading up to the jet.
Lu Tian doesn't go up the stairs but takes a stop to the side to allow his wife to go first. His body turns to face her, and he gives her a smile that could melt the hearts of many.
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."
Hearing this, Yue Ling glance at the man for a quick second before going up the airstairs.
"For a second there, I thought we were going to sleep in the jet if not on the charter."
She looks at the jet's exterior and chuckles when she thought about something.
"Then again, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try for the experience."
Her chuckling words entered Lu Tian's ears, and he almost stumbles with his steps on the stairs. He stares at the back of his wife's figure, and the corners of his mouth turned down with creased brows.
Was his wife making fun of him? Should he just tell her where he is taking her?
No, he can't tell her because it will spoil the surprise.
He pauses in his steps and glance at the surrounding area. Thinking about what his wife said, he heaves a deep sigh and lightly shook his head.
"Like hell, I will ever let you sleep in a place like this."
He murmurs to himself, but Yue Ling heard him loud and clear. She enters the private jet with a faint smile while trying not to laugh and makes her way to the seating area.
Now she really can't wait to see what Lu Tian has in store for her.
