Chapter 493 always be returned

[VERY SHORT RECAP TO REFRESHEN EVERYONE'S MIND OF THE PAST TWO-THREE CHAPTERS.]

The meeting between Yue Ling and the underworld finished with Gao Jie turning into a punching bag for Liu Shan.

Ning Mei and Chu Li Xiang met in private at his hideout. After the rookie model left, Steelhead arrives to end his deal of their business. He (Steelhead) informs Chu Li Xiang that it's Fate who is also after him (Chu Li Xiang) and not destiny.

Yue Ling reveals her relationship with Lu Tian to Fei Tao and Qin Yi before the couple decided to leave for home since it is late into the night.

--------- End of recap ------

Driving pass the streets of Imperial under the night sky, Lu Tian's black Maserati Levante Trofeo makes a turn into a clean dark road as they enter a small dense forest on either side of the road.

Seated in the passenger seat, Yue Ling place one elbow on the center console as she held her chin.

She didn't stare out the side window or on the road ahead but staring directly at the man in the driver seat.

Lu Tian kept his eyes on the dark road ahead, but one can see he held a sulking expression. He was still eating vinegar over the familiarity between his wife and Fei Tao.

However, at the same time, he couldn't help but feel small beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

Is it because the car is too warm or the fact that his wife has been staring at him since they left Fate?

Deciding to go with the former, he glance at the car temperature. His brows could only furrow. The temperature inside the car was warm, but not enough to make one sweat.

Seeing his quick glance away from the road, Yue Ling couldn't help but lightly shake her head.

Ever since they left Fate, he had not spoken a word and she knew exactly why. However, the light bulb on her head turns on and she devil side of her snicker evilly.

Glancing at the man, she moves her elbow from the center console to cross her arms over her chest.

"Mr. Lu, were you always this jealous?"

Hearing her sudden blunt question, Lu Tian was taken back by surprise that he almost choked on his own saliva. He sounds a few coughs, before forcing himself to keep his straight face.

"No. Only towards you."

In the past, he had never eaten vinegar over anything. He never cared for others like how he does now towards her. However, who can blame him.

He is a man in his thirties, and she is his first relationship. She is also his first physical contact with the opposite gender, besides his mother.

Sometimes, he can't help but wonder how he is able to meet such a wonderful person like her.

Yue Ling stares at the fully grown man turn into a child. She sounds a soft chuckle and glance to the road ahead.

"I never knew the cold and aloof Mr. Lu can be so cute when he is jealous."

Hearing her call him cute, Lu Tian purse his lip. He is a grown man, how can he be called cute?

However, subconsciously seeing her smile, he knew he could not keep up the act. He had planned to stay this way until they reach home, but he is at his limit.

Heaving a sigh, he looks back to the road again.

"Tell me honestly, how do you know Fei Tao?"

He had been wondering ever since he saw the way the young man behaved around her.

As someone who is often sent to take care of those from the underworld, he knows that Black Jade is not a small gang.

Excluding Steelhead and Gao Jie, those Yue Ling had invited to the meeting were leaders of the most well-known gangs in Imperial.

Black Dragon and White Tiger are two of the biggest, then Red Dragon and Black Jade, while the rest falls in line not too far after.

However, from Fei Tao's behavior towards her, it shows that they were very familiar with one another.

Oblivious to the man's mind, Yue Ling did not know whether to laugh or cry. She knew he was eating vinegar, but she did not think it to be because of Fei Tao.

Thinking about something, she nonchalantly shrug her shoulders.

"Aah, its nothing much. I'm just too popular."

Just as her words fell, Lu Tian cast her a glare as if he wanted to strangle her to death. How dare she joke with him when he is asking a serious question.

Lightly shaking her head, she couldn't help but smile and decides to tell answer him truthfully since there was nothing to hide.

"Okay, okay. I've known Fei Tao since he was five years old, but we were not close then."

Averting her gaze from the road ahead, she turns to look out the passenger window. The dense forest looked eerie, but it also gave a sense of peace under the starry sky.

"At the time, I wasn't the leader of Fate and he wasn't the leader of Black Jade."

Due to them not being leaders and living in different countries, they only met a few times since her paternal grandfather and Fei Tao's father were friends.

When she took over Fate after her paternal grandfather's passing, she met the boy more and more. Of course, it was only because every time the former leader of Black Jade visits her, he would bring the boy along.

That was how their relationship grew more, since Fei Tao reminded her of Ji Jingxu.

Thinking of the past, a very faint smile curls on her lip. However, the look in her bluish green eyes held a dim glimmer of light out of sadness.

"Many think the former leader of Black Jade passed away due to overdose in drugs, but that was not the case. He was murdered by someone."

The person made it look like Fei Tao's father had used a bad batch of drugs and died from it.

However, only those close him knows that the man is not one to use drugs in any means. Even in the past when he is sick, he would seek out her paternal grandfather for medical herbs.

After his passing, the leader position for Black Jade became vacant as there were three people fit for the position.

Fei Tao was too young and didn't want anything to do with the underworld as he had seen too much, so he was not one of those three people as they were all his uncles.

As the fight for the leader position continued, Yue Ling did not take any part in it as it had nothing to do with her or Fate.

But that was until someone out of the three people decided it was a wise choice to try and kill Fei Tao.

With him being the only child of the former leader, he was a hinderance in their way.

The boy nearly escaped death and ran from Imperial with his father's righthand man to City Z in search for her. The two people knew that once they found her, they would be safe, and it was the truth.

With her and Fate as their shelter, no one dared to lay a finger on them.

When they explained the details to her, only God knew how angry she was.

Fei Tao was only twelve and those bastards wanted him dead when he didn't want anything to do with the underworld.

She told him that if he wanted, he has her support if he becomes the leader of Black Jade. However, the young boy back then said he didn't want to be the leader.

The only thing he ask is that she helps him find his father's murderer.

Which she did and it turned out to be Fei Tao's eldest uncle who forced the drugs into his father causing the man's death.

Once the boy learned of this, it was then that he decided to become the leader. Even if he was young and didn't know how to be a leader, he will learn.

And with the backing of Fate, that was how Fei Tao became the young leader of Black Jade.

He had left four years ago, to settle the debt of the murderer of his father.

By the time Yue Ling finished explaining the past, they finally arrived home.

Lu Tian drives the car through the dark metal gate and Yue Ling turns away from the window to look at the aloof man.

"My relationship with him is that of an older sister to her younger brother. Nothing more and nothing less."

As the car comes to a stop in front of the house, the engine turned off. She reach a hand to him and pinch his chin.

Turning him to face her, she leans in and gives him a kiss on the lip.

"So Mr. Lu, you ate vinegar for no reason."

A soft chuckle escapes her lip and she opens the door to step out. She did not see the look on his face as Lu Tian was more speechless than ever due to her sudden kiss.

His eyes followed her white figure walk towards the house before he follows after her with a mischievous smile.

Just as Yue Ling opened the door, her body was swiftly swept from the ground and carried in Lu Tian's arms.

"Tian!"

She yelp in surprise. However, afraid she would fall, her arms quickly wrap around his neck and looks at him.

"You—"

Before she could say another word, her lips was captured by the man until he was satisfied and pulls away.

He gives her a smile and continues inside the house.

"A kiss should always be returned."
