Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 759 Daughter-in-law has run away

Chapter 759 Daughter-in-law has run away

Yue Ling was touched by Madam Lu’s words. She could tell from a glance that Madam Lu was being sincere and not trying to put on a show.

Her only thoughts at this moment were, how can she be so lucky to not only meet Lu Tian but also meet his kind and sweet family.

Yang Yang was in shock at the news. He has clearly been away from Imperial for too long as this was the first time, he is hearing such news.

He stares at the two women and didn’t know what to think at all.

However, the more he stares at Madam Lu’s happy expression, the more he became bewildered.

From a young age until now, the middle-aged woman appears easy-going and someone anyone can hold a conversation with. However, she never lets her guard down and knows when to draw a line.

Watching them, he couldn’t help but feel a little jealous. Madam Lu treats him like he was her own child, but she was never smitten by him like this.

Then again, the person being smitten is Han Yue Ling.

There isn’t a single person in the world who wouldn’t want to be on good terms with her. Only an idiot would not want to be friends with her.

And being someone who wants to be on good terms with her, he rids all thoughts and smiles with a smile that reaches his eyes.

He claps his palms together and the energy emitting from him beamed with nothing but joy.

"Since we are gathered here for a wedding dress, shall we go upstairs? I’m sure all the beauties I have prepared are dying to be tried on."

He sends a friendly wink at Yue Ling and his words continue.

"Don’t worry, I will make sure to design you the wedding of the century. I will not rest until everything is nothing but perfection."

Yue Ling kept a smile on her face, but she somehow felt that his words sounded a little stressful to her ears.

Soon Yang Yang brought Madam Lu and Yue Ling to the second floor.

Unlike the first floor, this floor did not only have the dresses that were picked out, but there were also multiple glass shelves with sparkly heels. In the middle of the room were white couches for the guests to sit on.

The back of the room was covered with mirrors. Some were set in an angle that allows one to see every angle of the dress trying on.

Despite the glamorous room, the air this time was different from when they were on the first floor.

Yue Ling sat on a round ottoman in front of the mirrors and sighs every few seconds.

As the bride-to-be, she should be smiling and excited about trying on the dresses to find the right one. However, here she is, sitting with a perplexed expression.

That was because of the other two people in the room with her.

"How about Yue Ling try this dress first?"

"What about this one? It’s more elegant."

"It is more elegant, but this one is more sophisticated. She will stand out the most."

"We can try that dress after she tries on this one."

"No, no, no. This one first, then that one."

Listening to Madam Lu and Yang Yang argue bath and forth about which dress she should try on Yue Ling felt a migraine coming and sighs.

It was loud and vaguely echoed inside the place but neither Madam Lu nor Yang Yang heard her.

She stares at their reflection in the morrow moving from one wall to another and sighs again. Isn’t it supposed to be her who decides on which dress to try on?

The more she watched them, the more her head started to hurt. She raises one hand and massages her temples as if trying to soothe her headache.

How did she not see this coming the second she stepped foot in this place?

No, she should have seen this coming when Madam Lu showed her all the photos of the wedding dresses during last night’s dinner.

Lowering her hand, she looks at the two people again. However, instead of just sitting and waiting for them, she stands up from her seat.

She removes her black wool coat and places it on the round ottoman before walking over to one of the racks hung with dresses.

Without any need to see which one to try on, she randomly takes one from the rack and head for the dressing room.

If she doesn’t do this, who knows how long it’ll be until Madam Lu and Yang Yang come to an agreement.

After what felt like an eternity had gone by, the two individuals throwing a showdown finally comes to a decision.

"Fine, Ah Ling will try on that dress first."

Madam said with a hmmf. She had wanted Yue Ling to try on the dress she picked, but Yang Yang had made a good point about the one he picked.

"Don’t worry, Aunt Lu. She was looking at this dress the second she stepped foot inside Ages of Love. I’m 100 percent sure that she wants to try on this dress first."

Yang Yang smiles widely knowing he had won the argument. The dress in his hand now was the Opaline ballgown Yue Ling was staring at when he saw her.

Any designer would want to try on the dress they designed before any other.

"Ah Ling, we’ve decided on which dress. What do you thi—"

Madam Lu turns around to ask for Yue Ling’s opinion but ended up swallowing her remaining words. Her eyes widen and she gasps in horror.

"Ah Ling, where are you? Ah Ling?"

She walks over to where Yue Ling was sitting then search around the room. Her heart raced like it was running a marathon in search but did not see Yue Ling anywhere.

Turning to look at Yang Yang, her eyes turned moist with tears.

"Yang Yang, where did she go? Where did my precious daughter-in-law go?"

She turns into a frightened mother who had lost her child in a crowd at the mall.

Yang Yang rolled his eyes at Madam Lu’s exaggerating words. He turns around to look at her then points to the round ottoman.

"Aunt Lu, why are you panicking? She is sitting right there..."

However, the second he turned around, all he saw was Yue Ling’s black coat and handbag.

Like Madam Lu, his eyes widen in horror and he inhales a mouthful of air.

"Oh my God. Where did she go? I’m sure she was here seconds ago. I swear, I saw her."

His head darts in every direction in search of the bride-to-be. However, there was no sign of Yue Ling’s slender figure anywhere.

As he tries to rack his brain to figure out where Yue Ling might have gone, a sudden thought comes to mind.

He covers his mouth with his free hand and slowly turns his head to look at Madam Lu.

"Aunty..."

His face pale and he braces his soul before speaking the unimaginable.

"W-ww... what if she got c-cold feet?"

Madam Lu’s mind was already in a chaotic mess. When she heard Yang Yang’s preposterous words, anger wash inside her and she strides over to him.

She flicks his forehead for saying such ridiculous words and shouts.

"Ah Ling and my son are madly in love. How dare you say my daughter-in-law has run away?"

"Runaway? Who?"

Just as Madam Lu’s words fell, another woman’s voice asks from behind them.

Both she and Yang Yang jumped at the voice and slowly turned their head in the direction of the stairs.

Their expressions were one of fear like they had a slip of the tongue and were going to get in trouble.
