Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 693 Have to get going

Chapter 693 Have to get going

Inside Moonlight, Yue Ling stares at the woman who had uttered her name. She (the woman) wore a simple white dress and her brown hair was put in a low ponytail.

Yue Ling maintained a calm and collected demeanor, but her mind was elsewhere. However, she didn’t let her thoughts trail too far as a faint smile that did not reach her eyes curls on her lip.

"Ling Ni."

That’s right, the person Yue Ling saw when sitting at the corner of the restaurant was none other than Ling Ni. The same Ling Ni who crushed Liu Shan’s heart into pieces. However, Yue Ling doesn’t know that they’re the same person.

Ling Ni was surprised to run into Yue Ling. The first time they met was also the last. She smiles a chuckle and glance at Jiang Shengyi then back to Yue Ling.

"Are you also leaving?"

Yue Ling sighs a smile and nods her head. She must have over thought the idea that this Ling Ni is the same as the Ling Ni that Liu Shan mentioned. After all, there were many women with the name.

She parts her lip answers the question but notices the man standing next to Ling Ni. Even without looking at him, she could tell from the corners of her eyes that he was bulky and bald-headed.

However, it wasn’t his body appearance that made her notice him. It was the way he was fidgeting like someone who was getting impatient and wanted to leave.

Her eyes subconsciously glance at the man and the moment she saw his face, a dangerous flicker of light flash inside her eyes.

She quickly concealed her feelings and looks back at Ling Ni. Everything she did was so natural that neither Ling Ni nor the man noticed her movements.

"We were just leaving. I didn’t think to see you here."

Her words fell and she looks at Jiang Shengyi then at Ling Ni.

"I would love to stay and chat, but we have to get going. I hope you don’t mind."

Ling Ni wanted to talk to Yue Ling some more, but knowing that the retired model is busy, she could only nod her head in understanding.

"I see, then I hope you have a good day. When there’s time, maybe, you, Zhao Ya’Er, and I can meet to go shopping."

Yue Ling doesn’t answer with words but smiles a nod. It made one unable to understand if she was agreeing to the idea or disagreeing.

She looks away from Ling Ni and walks out of the restaurant with Jiang Shengyi.

As the two women disappeared out the door, the man standing next to Ling Ni place one arm around her waist.

"Babe, are they your friends?"

Ling Ni slightly jumped when she remembers who she was with. She didn’t dare to move his hand away and nods her head.

"Mm, but I only know the one I spoke with. As for the other woman, this is my first time seeing her."

The man sounded an ’ah’ sound and pulls her closer to him before striding out the door. He touches his chin and thought about how pretty the two women were, mostly Yue Ling.

He has been with countless beauties but after seeing Yue Ling, he has to admit, none can compare to her. Not even Ling Ni.

The more he thought about Yue Ling, the corners of his mouth curls up into a malicious sneer. He wanted her. Not as a plaything but to be his woman. Even making her his wife is in mind.

Thinking this, he lowers his head and pulls Ling Ni in for a kiss. He pulls away and grins widely.

"Why don’t you bring her to Red Moon? If you do, I’ll reward you with anything you want. I might even consider giving you back your freedom."

Ling Ni felt like someone had poured ice-cold water onto her body and made her froze. However, when she heard him mention her freedom, she felt a wave of hesitation wash inside her.

If she came to trick Yue Ling into entering Red Moon, she won’t have to deal with this man anymore. Not only that, but she’ll also have her life back and maybe rekindle her relationship with Liu Shan.

The idea was truly one that she cannot decline. However, she closes her eyes and inhales a deep breath that caused her body to tremble.

"I can’t... She is Lu Tian’s woman."

Hearing the mention of Lu Tian’s name, the man arches a brow in bewilderment. Before he picked up Ling Ni, he had heard his subordinates mention that news was flooding Imperial about Lu Tian taking interest in a woman.

However, he would never have imagined that the woman would be the one he just met.

He weighs out the pros and cons in his mind and decided. It would be the end of him, and Red Moon is he tries to make Yue Ling his woman. Especially when Lu Tian is the man many in the underworld fear.

Quickly brushing the thought aside, he tightens his hold on Ling Ni. He inhales her sweet fragrance and smiles satisfyingly.

"Let’s go to Red Moon. Since I cannot have that woman, you’ll have to continue warming my bed."

Ling Ni trembles with goosebumps but she doesn’t push the man away. Even if she cannot get her freedom back, she rather deals with this man than deal with Lu Tian’s wrath.

As one should know, be it man or woman, anyone who crosses the line of the coldblooded man never lives to see tomorrow.

Outside of Moonlight, Jiang Shengyi’s car was the first to arrive. She was about to enter her car but turns back to look at Yue Ling.

"Ah, I almost forgot to say this. Congratulations on your engagement. If you need help with anything, let me know. I will what I can to help."

Yue Ling chuckles at the woman and nods her head. She thanked Jiang Shengyi and sends her on her way.

A few seconds later, her car arrived, and she entered the driver seat when the valet worker stepped out. She reached for her seatbelt but sees Ling Ni and the man exit Moonlight.

She doesn’t look at them for long and buckles her seatbelt in. Her head turns to look ahead and drives away from the restaurant.

However, despite her expression not caring, she found it strange that someone like Ling Ni would be with a man like that.

She was never one to judge other???s relationships, but she curious, why Red Moon’s leader Tao Meng?

Driving in the direction of De L’amour, she also thought about her assistant and what he told her about his relationship with the woman name Ling Ni.

Should she be noisy and ask him if the Ling Ni she knows and the one he knows is the same person?

If they are, she will have to talk some more sense into him and tell him to move on. Not because she found Ling Ni with Tao Meng disgusting, but because her assistant and friend deserve so much more.

As her white car drives away, she did not notice that Ling Ni and Tao Meng were also getting inside their car. However, the man was looking in the direction of her car. He memorized her license plate number and enters the car after Ling Ni.

He decided to not pursue Yue Ling, but seeing her again, he couldn’t help but want her. Even if she is Lu Tian’s woman, it wouldn’t hurt to have a little taste, right?

After all, many people say Lu Tian is germophobic. If he learns that the woman has been dirtied, he won’t want anything to do with her anymore.

Once that happens, he (Tao Meng) will appear in front of her like a God and take responsibility for her.

His selfish desire quickly got the better of him and blinded him.

What he did not know is that the woman he has his eyes on is someone beyond his reach. Not only is she out of his reach, but she is the only person other than Lu Tian whom he fears.

As she is the person who collects the fate of those who cross her line.
