Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 175 Keep looking



———

"Yaaawwww—!!"

Sitting up on a messy queen sized bed, Liu Shan yawns with his mouth widely open. Getting out of bed, he does his regular routine. Wash face, brush teeth, shower and get ready for work.

Walking out of his bedroom, he wore a black dress shirt with a black cardigan buttoned over. His khaki trousers wrapped nicely around his slender legs.

Grabbing a piece of bread, he puts it in his mouth and puts on his coat. He then leaves his apartment and heads in the direction of his car.

"Good morning, Liu Shan."

A sweet and very soft voice enters his sleepy ears. Liu Shan looks up and sees his neighbor. Her brown hair was tied into a high pony tail, revealing her face. She wore a tight running outfit that framed her slim, yet curvy figure.

He takes the piece of bread out of his mouth and smiles politely.

"Good morning, Ling Na."

Not expecting another response, he walks forward to go down the stairs. Continuing on with his way, he walks pass Ling Na without looking at her. She is way out of his league and he needs to get to De L'amour.

Ling Na watched as Liu Shan walks pass her. Now looking at his back, Ling Na thought about the other night when he helped her. She had not properly thanked him.

"Liu Shan."

Just when Liu Shan took two steps down the stairs, he hears his name and stops. He sighs and turn to look at the woman.

"What is it?"

Ling Na's cheeks flushed the moment their eyes meet. She smiles at him warmly.

"Would you like to go out for dinner tonight?"

"..."

Liu Shan stare at Ling Na with no emotions. He couldn't put her words together. No one has ever asked him out to dinner. Well, besides his boss, but she doesn't count.

However, looking at the woman who is out of his league, he pout his lip in thinking. He must admit, Ling Na was very pretty. Although, not as pretty as his boss, she was still a very pretty woman. When he first moved here, he had done a research on the people living in the complex building as him. He found out that his neighbor here, is a very good hearted person and she actually comes from a very rich family.

"Don't think too much about it. I just want to treat you to dinner for helping me the other night."

Ling Na spoke with a graceful smile. Liu Shan looks at her and he thought about it. Looking at her again, he found nothing wrong with the idea. Besides he loves food and Ling Na was a nice girl.

"Alright."

"Great!"

Coming to an agreement, they exchanged numbers and where to meet. After, Liu Shan walks down the stairs and Ling Na heads to her apartment. Both individuals secretly excited for their date tonight.

At Lu Corps, Lu Tian sat behind his desk. The space between his brows crease intensely as he stares at the computer screen and his finger scrolling the mouse.

After he and Yue Ling finished breakfast, they had both left for work. He was reluctant to part from her but he had to do it. His mind was set on a mission and he must get it done fast.

Scrolling through the computer he frowns more. Sighing, he leans back on his chair and closed his eyes. He's never proposed to anyone before, let alone ask someone out on a date.

Yue Ling is the very first woman and person he's been with. When he arrived at his office, he quickly jumped on the computer to find the best ways to propose to someone. However, everything he found weren't good enough.

He wants to propose to Yue Ling in the most memorable and romantic way possible. In a way that will be engraved deeply into her heart.

*knock knock*

Hearing the knock, he didn't open his eyes. Parting his lips, he spoke.

"Come in."

"Boss."

Xu Long enters the room and he was shocked speechless. His mouth slightly open as he stare at his almighty boss who actually looked troubled.

"What is it?"

Lu Tian opens his eyes and sits up. He looks indifferently at his speechless assistant.

"Uhh... it's about.. you know what.."

Xu Long closes the door and walks towards the desk. He sets a folder down and slides it to Lu Tian.

"I tracked the gang from Korea, however they vanished. It seems like someone from Imperial is keeping them hidden in the dark."

Hearing the words, Lu Tian frown. He grab the folder and opens it. The very first page contained confidential information of a person and a picture attached at the top.

However, the person in the picture was taken from a faraway angle. It was a man with slightly long blonde hair. Half his face is hidden as if hiding something on his face.

"Choi Li Sun."

He spoke the name aloud. It was a name he found very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it.

Xu Long nod his head and speaks.

"That man is a very famous gang leader in Korea. From the report I found, half of the gangs in Korea follows him."

Lu Tian arch a brow at his assistant's words. To be a leader and rule half of the underworld, this man must have a very strong holding. He flips through the pages and then set the folder down. Thinking of something, he looks at Xu Long.

"And the other half?"

Although he does the dark and dangerous jobs for the government, his jurisdiction is only within China. Anything outside of China is not his to deal with.

Xu Long looks at his boss and he understood what was on the man's mind.

"From what I found, it seems the remaining half of Korea's underworld follows a different gang leader. Those people oppose of Choi Li Sun. However, this person is even more mysterious, I can't find anything about him at all. It's like this man is make believe person by those people."

Hearing this, Lu Tian couldn't help but think back to the man who saved Ting and Jingxu. The mysterious man who works under Grandfather Ji, but he knows it can't be the same man.

Lu Tian stood from his chair and walks to the floor to ceiling window in his office. His eyes dimmed as he stares down to Imperial.

This man name Choi Li Sun made a huge mistake. The moment he stepped foot onto the soil of China, his fate is bound in Lu Tian's hands.

Placing his hands behind his back, he spoke out to Xu Long.

"Keep looking into it. Find where Choi Li Sun is and what his motive is for coming here."

"Yes, Boss!"

Xu Long salutes and turns to leave. However, before he could, he was stopped by his boss's next words.

"Also, help me locate 'L'amour de ma vie'."

Like an imaginary leg had tripped him, Xu Long stumbles in his steps. His legs almost giving up, but he steady himself. As Lu Tian's assistant, he had to study every language known to the world. Hearing the words in French, he turns around robotically and looks at his boss with wide eyes. He struggle to swallow his saliva.

"L-L-L'amour de m-ma vie?"

"Mm. Find it at any means."

Xu Long stare in shock at thr back of his boss. He could not put the words together. Just....

If his boss is looking for L'amour de ma vie, does that mean.....

Putting everything together, Xu Long's jaw dropped to the ground. Even his eyes fell from his sockets.

Oh god!!! His boss is planning to propose!!!!

Oblivious to his assistant's shocked look, Lu Tian continues to look out the window.

"That's all, you can leave."

"Yes, Boss!! I will find it like my life depended on it!"

Quickly, he leaves his boss's office and goes into his. Sitting down, he turns his computer on and his fingers dance on the keyboard.

"L'amour de ma vie.... L'amour de ma vie..."

Xu Long spoke the words like he was singing. His face held a very happy smile. How can he not be happy and excited, his cold and aloof boss is going to propose?

Not only that, he couldn't wait to see the expressions on the world when they learn about this news!

Doing what he is best at, Xu Long continues to search for L'amour de ma vie. However, seconds into his search, he frowns with a sigh.

L'amour de ma vie is known to be the world's most expensive diamond ring. The diamond is very unique and the only one in the world. It appears crystal clear in the light, but in the dark, it's color changes into a beautiful sapphire blue. It was named L'amour de ma vie because a man had given the diamond ring to the woman he loves..... It was a symbol of love as the woman is the love of his life.

However.... How is he supposed to locate the ring? Not only that... Is the ring even real? Many has heard of the ring, but at the same time, many has never seen it before...
