SECOND CHANCE TO LOVE YOU AGAIN - Season 1 Episode 63

Jade Condos stood like a pillar under the painted blue sky glistening with golden rays of light from the rising sun.

Inside Yue Ling’s penthouse, she woke up exactly at 7am. Her arms stretch out and she purr like a cat on her soft and comfortable king sized bed.

Sitting up, the blanket covering her slid down revealing her naked upper body. However, her attention was not on herself, but the empty spot next to her.

There was no sign of wrinkles at all.

Recalling the image before she doze into slumber, Yue Ling scoff in self-mockery.

So, after last night’s ‘deed’ he really did leave..

But what could she have done? Ask him to stay?

No, she wouldn’t let that happen. It was partly her fault for letting things get out of control too.

She had already decided that if he was to leave, then she wouldn’t blame him.

Shaking the thoughts away, she lift the blanket and sluggishly makes her way to the bathroom.

She pursed her lips in frowning and cursed inwardly at Lu Tian for not even showing her a tiny bit of mercy.

‘That damn man! How can he have so much stamina?!’

Her body ached all over, even in the places that shouldn’t hurt.

After Yue Ling finished with the toilet, she washed her hands and reach for her toothbrush. Squeezing the toothpaste, she glance at her reflection in the mirror and her entire body turned into a statue.

The ends of her mouth twitch and her eyes fell out of their sockets.

Was this really her? Had she always looked like this in the morning?

For gods sake, even she couldn’t recognize herself in the mirror.

Her hair that was supposed to be in a bun, now looked like a birds nest. It looked like she had gotten into a cat fight!

Her lips were swollen red and her fair skin was covered in red love marks, especially on her neck and chest.

She let out a long sigh and put her hand holding the toothbrush on her hip, while she lift her other hand and pinch the space between her brows.

Every time she wakes up in the morning, she never cared to look carefully at herself in the mirror.

But now that she saw herself, she really envies those women in movies who would wake up in the morning and still looked on point.

Thinking of something, she chuckle in her own foolishness.

No wonder he left. If she was him, she would probably leave too. Who would want to wake up first thing in the morning to see a crazy looking person next to them.

Ignoring her crazy appearance, she brush her teeth and step into the shower.

Last night, she didn’t get to shower because after Lu Tian ate her tofu, she was too exhausted and fell asleep right away.

While showering, the warm water from the shower head pour onto her skin, making her body relax.

Her mind drifted to how she saw him leave out of the room and how she woke up alone on the lonely king size bed.

It was clear that the man had gone back to his penthouse. The wrinkle free side of the bed was proof. Right?

Yue Ling vowed to bury last night’s activity deep in the back of her heart. She will not let herself be tempted by him or any other man again. She felt humiliated for letting him eat her and just disappear without a word. How foolish of her!

After she washed up and dried her hair, she put on a light gray t-shirt dress.

Knowing that it was still early in the morning, she decided to cook herself breakfast.

Walking towards the kitchen, the faint aroma of bacon enter her noses with the sound of flowing water, as if someone was washing the dishes.

She frown at the smell and sound.

“Did I forget to turn the tv off?”

stepping into her kitchen, she halted with her mouth open into an ‘O’ and her eyes widely open.

‘Holy crap! Why is he here?! Didn’t he leave?!’

Standing in her kitchen was a tall figure with his back facing her.

The man had the perfect body structure, even from behind he still looked good! The plain black T-shirt on him outlined his upper body nicely and the light grey lounge pants wrapped around his legs like an armor.

He looked comfortable, like he was standing in his own home.

The water shut off, and Lu Tian turns around. Seeing Yue Ling standing in a daze, his heart melted at the sight of her.

“You’re awake. I’ve already prepared breakfast, come eat. You need all the energy you can get after experiencing an intense workout.”

Yue Ling pout her lips and glare at Lu Tian with inexpressible eyes.

‘Workout’ your head!! After eating me, you want to eat my food too?! Hmmf! No shame at all!!’

Glaring at Lu Tian, Yue Ling suddenly felt that the man was somehow treating her like a guest and he was owner.

She frown at the thought, then letting out a deep breath, she pinch the space between her brows for the second time.

Raising one palm out, she asked, “Hold on. What are you doing?”

“Cooking.”

“I can see that, but what I mean is, what are you doing in MY house? Why are you still even here? Shouldn’t you be next door at YOUR own place?”

“Because I’m cooking.”

“….”

Yue Ling’s mouth twitched.

She suddenly felt speaking with Lu Tian just made her IQ and EQ drop into one digit.

“I will compensate you for your time, so you can go now…”

“….”

‘Wait, that doesn’t sound right..’

Her words sounded like she was paying a male prostitute after she had her way with him.

She looks at the man and she didn’t know what to say at all!

Lu Tian squint his eyes and glare at Yue Ling. He clenched his teeth and growl in a low voice, “You’re telling me to leave?”

“…”

A slight chill crawl on Yue Ling’s skin making her gulp when she heard Lu Tian’s words.

Why does he sound so angry? Did I offend him by making it sound like he was a cheap male prostitute?

Taking a deep breath, Yue Ling tried to reason with the man. However, seeing his dark and dangerous eyes staring into her soul, she was at a loss for words.

“….”

In the end, she could only ask him directly, “What do you want then? If it’s within my reach, I can give it to you.”

“You know what I want.”

Lu Tian’s voice sounded deadly and murderous, like someone had offended him badly.

“….”

Yue Ling wanted to cut open the man’s skull and see if his brain was still working properly.

“I wouldn’t be asking you if I knew what you want.”

Lu Tian stare intensely at the woman, he was angry that she wanted him to leave. He knew just by looking at her eyes. However, since she didn’t know what he wants, he’ll say it loud and clear.

“Take responsibility.”

“Fine, I’ll— Eh?! What?!!”

Yue Ling was tongue-tied, her mouth opened and closed like a goldfish.

“W-wait.” She pinch the space between her brows for the third time, “You want me to take r-responsibility? Why are you saying it like I raped you? It was clearly mutual between us when we had se—-..”

Her cheeks turned crimson red realizing what she was saying.

‘Dammit! How can someone know no shame?!’

Lu Tian looks at Yue Ling with his mastered supreme poker face,

“You agreed to be mine. So naturally, you have to take responsibility. If not, then I’ll take responsibility since you are mine.”

“…..”
