Outside under the bright sky, Xu Long stepped out of Imperial Hotel. He looks left and right and frown. Lifting his hand, he scratch his head.
"Where did boss and the lady boss go?"
He continues to look at the crowd and tries to make out the two people's figures. However, his eyes lit up like fireworks and he runs in a certain direction. His arms wave into the sky and he cheerfully calls out.
"New family! Wait for this one too!"
About to get into the car, Liu Shan and Lin Hui both turn around when they heard the sudden voice. Seeing who it is, Lin Hui became alert, while Liu Shan's eyes turned heavy.
Xu Long stops in front of Liu Shan's car and he pat his chest. He wipes away the sweat on his fired and decides that he really needs to hit the gym. This short run already tired him out!
"New family.... Take me too...."
Lin Hui looks at Xu Long, then to Liu Shan, "You know him?"
Seeing the look on Lin Hui's face, Liu Shan purse his lip. He looks at Xu Long and sigh.
"He's Lu Tian's assistant."
Hearing this, Lin Hui was taken back by surprise, but he did not show it. He looks back at the man who looked exhausted. Is this man really the cold man's assistant? The hacker who almost outdid Liu Shan and him?!
Thinking of something, he takes a step away from the car and walks towards Xu Long. He sized the man up and tilt his head in thinking.
Seeing Lin Hui walk towards him, Xu Long straighten his posture and smiles cheerfully, "Hey bro, mind if I catch a lift?"
The corner of Lin Hui's lip curl upward and had thought of something, "Sure you can."
Xu Long was extremely happy when he heard Lin Hui's words. He takes a step forward, but in that moment, his head quickly dodges to the left.
*swoosh*
Lin Hui unexpectedly throws a punch at Xu Long. His smile widens and he put his hand down.
"Liu Shan, I'll drive boss's car back."
Finishing his words, Lin Hui then walks to the valet worker and asks for the keys to Yue Ling's car. When it arrive, he gets inside the driver seat an drives away.
Liu Shan: "...."
Xu Long: "..."
Left behind, both assistants were in a daze. Liu Shan's back slouch while Xu Long still held his position with his head dodging to the left. What in the world was Lin Hui thinking?
First to come back to reality, Liu Shan shook his head and looks at Xu Long, "You coming or what?"
He's only agreeing to give Xu Long a lift because when he and Lin Hui stepped out, they saw their boss leave with Lu Tian. Knowing that she is with him, they won't have to worry.
"HAI!"
Xu Long quickly answers in Japanese. His posture returns to normal and he gets inside Liu Shan car.
As the car drives into the distance, Liu Shan stares out the window to the road. He couldn't help but glance every so often at the jolly person in his passenger seat.
Even he was surprised when Lin Hui made such move. Did the dude really have to test out the other person?
However, he isn't surprised that Xu Long who looks so goofy on the outside has such good reflexes. It's no wonder the man is Lu Tian's assistant.
While the two assistants share one car, their bosses shared another. Yue Ling sat in the passenger seat and she glance at the man in the driver seat.
"Tian?"
"Mm."
"Are you alright?"
"Are you?"
Lu Tian replies with a question. He looks side ways to his wife then back to the road. Is he alright? Of course he is alright, his wife is safe next to him. Someone like Ning Xingyu is not worth him wasting a punch on. Besides, in a few hours, TB Corps is going to receive a shocking news.
Seeing how calm he is, Yue Ling was even more confused. Remembering how cold he looked back there, how can he be so calm now?
Even though she thought the question, she decided not to ask. Turning her head, she looks out the window, but something caught her attention and she quickly looks at Lu Tian.
"Where are we going? This isn't the way to my work place."
Lu Tian did not look at his wife. His eyes continue to stare out at the road in front of him.
"You didn't answer my question."
"...."
Yue Ling stare at the man and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She cross her arm over her chest and stare at the man with an intense look.
"I'm alright. Now tell me, where are we going?"
"Hospital."
Lu Tian quickly answers her. He likes how she is herself around him. She doesn't show fear in the way she talks to him nor does she treat him like other people.
In the passenger seat, Yue Ling was dumbfounded. Hospital? why does she need to go to the hospital? Nothing is wrong with her.
"We're going to see our baby."
Like he had read her mind, Lu Tian answers her unspoken question. He smiles a smile so small at the thought of him taking his wife to the hospital. When his mother was pregnant with Lu Han, he never got the idea why his father always went with his mother, but now he does.
He clearly understands what it means to be a father.
Yue Ling smiles and she touch her stomach. She has been so busy that she had forgotten about her pregnancy check ups. It is a good thing that Lu Tian remembered.
———
It didn't take long before the drive ended. Lu Tian parks the car and he steps out of the driver seat. Walking over to the passenger seat, he opens the door for his wife.
Helping Yue Ling out from the passenger seat, he made it seem like she was far along in her pregnancy. He carefully helps her out and guard her like he was her personal body guard.
Walking towards the hospital, Yue Ling looks at the building and she furrow her brows. This hospital was smaller than the other hospitals she's been to. It's not even one fourth of the military hospital!
Looking at Lu Tian, she pout her lip, "Tian, are you sure we're at the right place?"
Hearing her confused question, Lu Tian smiles to her. He can see why she would ask, but they're definitely at the right place.
"This is Ye Zhongwei's family hospital."
Yue Ling nod her head slowly and she looks back at the building without asking anymore questions. When they enter the hospital door, she was shocked to see how exquisite the inside was.
Glossy white floors with walls that shine just as much. Even the chairs in the waiting room were expensive looking.
Seeing her shocked look, a soft chuckle escapes Lu Tian's lip. He walks her to a chair that looked like a couch and sat her down.
"Wait here, I'll go sign us in."
"Mm."
Yue Ling subconsciously nod her head as she looks around. Photos were hung around the wall in large sizes. However, these weren't photos from magazines or advertisements, they were actual family photos. Like photos that family take at the studio and enhance the size bigger.
As she looked around, she realizes that there was no one in the waiting room with her. The thought reminded her of Rosewood Hotel. Could it be that this hospital is only for the wealthy?
Lu Tian finished signing them in and he walks back to the waiting room. When he saw the look on her, he smiles.
"Why are you so curious?"
Yue Ling looks at him and she scoffed, "Of course. You rich people are a little too extravagant."
"I guess it's part of life."
He spoke and sits down next to his wife. His arm rest against the back of her chair and he also looks at the photos on the wall.
His eyes land upon a photo of a little boy. The photo taken only had the boy's happy expression, but one could see that he was holding onto his parents hands.
A faint smile appeared on his lip. Pretty soon, he wouldn't mind taking a photo like this. Whether they have a boy or a girl, it doesn't matter to him. Their baby is a blessing gifted from god.
"Mrs. Lu?"
A young nurse calls from the chart in her hand. She looks around the waiting room and when she saw Yue Ling and Lu Tian, her eyes widen.
When she read the sign in sheet, she was expecting Old madam Lu, not a young madam Lu! Even shocking was that the Mr. Lu is actually Lu Tian and not Old Lu!
Oblivious to the nurse's thought, Yue Ling stood from her seat with Lu Tian's help. They follow the nurse and was led to a room.
The young nurse glance at Lu Tian and her cheeks flushed. However when she glance at Yue Ling, she felt her cheeks flush even more. How can god be so cruel and spend so much time sculpting these two deity?
She quickly clears her throat and smiles to Yue Ling. Flipping the papers on her clipboard, she spoke, "The Doctor will be with you shortly for your first ultrasound."
"Mm, thank you."
The nurse stepped out of the door and leaves the couple in the silent room. Yue Ling set her bag down and takes her coat off. As she did so, she turn to look at Lu Tian who was already sitting down.
"Can you step out for bit?"
Hearing this, Lu Tian arch a brow. He leaned back on the chair and cross his leg into a four figure.
"I've already seen everything, there's not point in me stepping out."
"....."
Yue Ling was struck dumbfounded. She had asked him to step out because she wanted to fix her clothes. Since she wore an overall, having an ultrasound would be a little difficult. So she planned to just take the top part of her overall off but....
Seeing this, Lu Tian held in the urge to laugh, let alone even smile. He remain seated and looks at her with a stern expression.
"I can help you if you want."
"....."
