Unexpected Second Chance at Love-Chapter 960: Caught having an affair

By the time Yue Ling finished planning with her design team, the sky outside was no longer bright. She looks at the clock in the room and sees the time, her eyebrows raised.

She glances at her team and sees each person continuing to work diligently.

When she returned from An Qing, the design room was a mess, and now it was as if a tornado had swept through.

However, despite the work, no one paid attention to the time, making her smile.

She had to admit she was proud to be able to work alongside these people.

Everyone was working together, but she straightened her posture, knowing it was getting too late into the night.

"Alright, let us call it a night."

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at the beautiful woman. Instead of feeling relieved, they could go home, their expression only held confusion.

Why was their boss calling it a night already?

"We can still do more."

Gui Tian Lan was the first to speak. The trailer was standing behind a mannequin, pinning the back part of the dress in place.

He stabs the remaining needles into the wrist pin cushion and straightens his posture.

"I mean, there's not much left to do."

Yue Ling's bluish-green eyes met seven pairs of eyes, and she smiled a sigh.

"I know, but it's already a little past 11 pm. We can pick up where we left off tomorrow."

Hearing her mention the time, everyone looks up at the time and then at the window.

Even they were surprised to see the dark sky outside. They had been so focused on work that they forgot about the time.

Tang Zhonghui, who was cutting fabrics, plops down on a chair and stares in disbelief at the sky outside.

"I swore we just started. How did the time go by so fast?"

Everyone silently agreed with the young technical designer. If Yue Ling had not stopped them, they were sure that it would have probably been the following day by the time they finally snapped out of work mode.

Yue Ling didn't need to ask what her design team was thinking. In the past, the moment they started working, it was like they had shut off the world.

She found herself like that sometimes and would only come to her senses once someone reminded her to take a break.

Taking another look at her team, she gives them a reassuring smile.

"We've made great progress today despite the short time we had. Everyone should go home and get some rest."

She picks up her black book and a few pieces of documents before turning away. However, before walking out the door, she looks back at her team. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"Get some rest. You all can come in late tomorrow."

She finishes giving her order and disappears out the door, making her way to her office.

While Yue Ling went to get their things, everyone also gathered their things to leave. Of course, they didn't forget to clean up a bit.

Within fifteen minutes, the once noisy room was left with nothing but silence.

Everyone had left for the night.

However, as quickly as the silence came, the faint sound of heels clacking in the distance could be heard.

The sound started faintly before gradually getting louder and louder until it came to a stop in front of the room.

Yue Ling entered the room again, and seeing it empty, she sighed inside. She was glad her team listened to her order and decided to call it a night.

She walked to the tables and started organizing the mess on top before moving to another pile. Before she knew it, the room was neat and organized.

It was as if the mess was never there.

She turns to look at the dress on the mannequin and takes a few steps toward it. Her eyes take in every detail, and a smile curls on her face.

The tips of her fingers gently caress the dress but with carefulness. The only thing keeping the dress in place were the needle pins Gui Tian Lan had inserted.

After admiring the dress, she walks out of the design room. She made sure to turn the lights off and lock up before leaving.

She sends Lu Tian a message to let him know she is heading home, then departs from De L'amour in her car.

Due to how late it was, there was no traffic, so it didn't take long before she reached home.

Her left eyebrow arched when she noticed Xu Long's car. Tilting her head back, she looked at the study room window and saw the light was still on.

She didn't need to think twice and knew that Lu Tian was still up working. It was also enough to explain the reason for Xu Long's car.

Without thinking much, she enters the house. Quickly changing out of her heels, she slips into her comfy house slippers and places her work bag on a nearby table with her coat.

She wanted to go upstairs to see Lu Tian, but thinking about how hard he must be working, she decided to go to the kitchen to make some tea.

Once it was ready, she placed two cups of tea on a tray and made her way up the stairs.

Coming up to the study room door, she could hear the keyboards clicking, combined with Lu Tian and Xu Long's voices.

She couldn't hear them clearly but could tell it was about something serious.

However, she was never one to eavesdrop on other people's business, so she casually walked in since the door was left wide open.

Xu Long gasped in surprise at seeing her, but he was quick to collect himself. He takes a deep breath and smiles.

"Ms. Han, you're back."

Yue Ling looked at the assistant and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. For a second there, the assistant looked like he had been caught having an affair with her man.

She held a smile in place and gave him a polite nod in greeting.

"It's good to see you, too, Assistant Xu."

She walks over to Lu Tian's desk and places the tray down.

The second she took her hands off the handle, she felt Lu Tian's big and slightly callous hand hold her hand.

She looked at him and was met with deep, dark eyes filled with longing.

Despite being a grown man, he looked like a boy who had been obediently waiting at home all day.

Lu Tian didn't get up from his chair but continued to gaze at his wife.

"You're home."

He didn't know why, but the moment he saw her enter the room, he couldn't move. He could only stare at her and take in the view of her walking towards him.

She looked so beautiful that he couldn't but fall in love with her again.

Yue Ling stared back at Lu Tian, and seeing the adorable sight of him made her smile a chuckle.

"I'm home."

A faint smile crept on Lu Tian's lips, and he softly kissed her hand.

"Welcome home, my love."

Yue Ling felt her cheeks turn warm, and she blushed shyly. However, aware that Xu Long was still here, she quietly cleared her throat.

"I sent you a message to let you know I was on my way, but seeing you working so hard, I decided to prepare some tea for you and Assistant Xu."

She picks up a cup of tea and sets it in front of Lu Tian while passing the other to Xu Long.

"Drink it while it's still warm."

Xu Long rolled his eyes at the couple in front of him. He couldn't believe they were unknowingly throwing dog food at him. However, the second he heard his boss lady had prepared tea for them, he didn't hesitate to take it.

He grins with his teeth at her and takes a sip as he walks back to his seat to continue his work. The report he was in the middle of giving his boss could wait.

Lu Tian frowned at his assistant. Why was his assistant acting like a child at a cup of tea made by his wife?

However, thinking about her words, his frown deepened.

He had been so busy trying to find Choi Li Sun and the mysterious person that he didn't have time to look at his phone.

Seeing the crease between his eyebrows, Yue Ling's smile widens, and she raises a hand to smooth it out with her finger.

"You shouldn't frown so much. It'll add wrinkles to your handsome face."

She lowers her hand and finally notices the scattered documents on his desk. She sees some parts had been circled while some were crossed out but doesn't dwell on it.

Her view subconsciously shifts to his laptop, and she pauses for a split second.

The screen was opened, and the display was one she felt she had seen before but couldn't remember where.

"Are you tired?"

Lu Tian's deep voice asked and brought her attention back to him. She looks down at him and shakes her head.

"I'm not, but I'll let you get back to work."

She could see a reluctant look on the man's face and laughed.

"I won't go anywhere. I'll go prepare for bed and wait for you to finish."

She gives him a reassuring smile and walks away. Her thoughts about what she saw on the laptop were tossed entirely out the window.

Lu Tian watched her leave the study room, and he felt a sudden wave of emptiness inside. He wanted to go after her and pull her into his arms, but he held himself back.

He had work to do, but the faster he got it done, the sooner he could be near his wife again.
