By nightfall, Yue Ling was quickly discharged from Imperial Military Hospital. Doctor Dong was reluctant in letting her leave, but it was Lu Tian's request along with Grandfather Ji and the Lu family.

He knows that Yue Ling may appear to be recovering quicker than most patients and doing fine, but he also knows that she is mentally hiding her pain.

However, Lu Tian is right.

After what she went through, it was best to have her stay at home where it is more comfortable. That way she can recover physically and mentally.

In the far distance of the hospital, Lu Tian's black Maserati Levante Trofeo pulls up through the gate to their home.

Yue Ling had her head turned to the window but when something outside suddenly caught her attention, her brows arch up.

"Eh? Why is Liu Shan here? Lin Hui and Qi Li too."

Parked in front of her house on the driveway was Liu Shan's black car along with Lin Hui and Qi Li's motorcycles.

Weren't they supposed to be searching for Chu Li Xiang? If so, why are they here?

"I asked them to do the search here with Xu Long."

Lu Tian spoke from the driver side as he parks the car then turns the engine off.

"It'll be easier since you can't leave the house."

Not waiting to see her reaction or hear her refuting words, he opens the door and steps out. Walking over to the passenger side, he opens the door and reach down to pick up his wife.

"Wait!"

Yue Ling quickly reacts and stops the man. Both her palms press against his chest to make sure he doesn't move closer.

"Can I least have some dignity here?"

She looks at him with a face of pleading. How can he want to carry her inside the house when her subordinates are inside?

The infamous leader of Fate being carried in front of her subordinates.

What will they think about her?

How will they see her?

As she lost herself in her own thoughts, Lu Tian ignores her words and take the opportunity to leisurely picks her up.

Carrying her to the door, he gently place her down and turns to unlock the door. The second her feet touched the hard ground, Yue Ling finally came to her senses again. However, she was struck dumbfounded.

How did he carry her here without her realizing?

What happened to her asking for some dignity?

She cast him a glare and cross her arms over her chest.

"Tian."

Unlocking the door, Lu Tian had his back turned to her. He answers her with a calm 'mm' but on his lip was a wide grin.

Even he was surprised at how engrossed she was in her thoughts.

Pushing the door open, he turns to look at her. However, the smile on his face was no longer there and he turned back to his indifferent expression.

"You can have your dignity now."

"..."

Yue Ling's eyelids quickly turned heavy when she heard his words. However, wanting to maintain the last bit of dignity in her, she rolled her eyes at him and strides inside the house with a faint hmmf.
