The wind calmly blows as the trees sway side to side like dancing performers. The sun peaks behind the grey clouds within every shift of movement in the sky.

Outside of Imperial Military Hospital's back courtyard, some patients walk to exercise their strength and some sitting on benches to enjoy the beautiful day.

At the very end of the courtyard, a small lake is seen as its sparkles with the reflection of the sun. Sitting on the bench were two individuals.

Like an oil painting from ancient times, no one wants to disturb. For they looked at peace and like a couple out on a date at the park.

"Tian...

"

Yue Ling spoke as she takes her eyes off the lake and turn to look at the man next to her. She sighed upon seeing his indifference look.

After the meeting with Doctor Dong and Doctor Xie, she walked Uncle Nuo back to the room and came out here with Lu Tian.

Although she knows that he isn't asking questions, she knows that she has to tell him. He is the father of her child and she cannot keep secrets from him.

Taking a deep breath, she steadies her mind and heart and ready herself in explanation.

"Uncle Nuo is my...

"

"No need, I trust you.

"

Before she could even start her explanation, Lu Tian interrupts her. He stare out to the water of the lake and then turn his head to her.

His indifferent eyes changed into one of love and trusting when he locked eyes with Her's.

"You don't need to explain anything to me. I trust you coming here is your own reasons.

"

Yue Ling stare at the man and she felt a part of her soul lifting with ease. Lu Tian may be cold on the outside, but towards her, she knows he is a shameless man who is open minded and somehow understands her the most.

He never asked her anything when they met in City Z nor did he ask about her appearance in Retro. Even now, he isn't asking her why she is here.

Thinking of something, her eyes narrow and she looks at the man.

Yue Ling:

"Tian, I am a poor person.

"

Lu Tian:

"I will be a poor person with you.

"

Yue Ling:

"What if your family does not like me?

"

Lu Tian:

"Only I need to love you.

"

Yue Ling:

"What if I don't love you?

"

Lu Tian:

"I will make you love only me.

"

Yue Ling:

".....

"

Lu Tian gaze attentively at her, then seeing how she was stuck speechless, he clears his throat and looks back to the lake. His entire being felt that no matter what his wife says, he will never waiver at her words.

Speechless to the core, Yue Ling tilt her head and pout her lip at the man sitting beside her. Sometimes when she looks at him, she wants to ask why he wants to be with her. What is it about her that makes him attracted to her...

Every time she asks him a question or says something, he never pauses in his answers. Its like he already knows what she is asking...

Could it be.....

Her eyes narrow more and she smiles evilly.

"Tian, I am cheating on you.

"

"YOU DARE?!

"

And just like her mastermind idea, Lu Tian's expression falter. He quickly turn his head to look at his wife and he swore he wanted to duck tape her mouth from ever speaking.

Yue Ling's expression at this time was straight and like she had spoken the truth. However, when she saw the change in his face, she couldnt hold it in and burst into laughter.

"Hahah, Tian I was just kidding.

"

"....

"

This time, it was Lu Tian who was speechless. He stare at his wife and every word he ever knew seemed to have disappear.

Remembering the word 'cheating', he frown and his expression turned to solemn child.

"Don't say that...

"

Yue Ling chuckle a scoff and she reach her hand out to hold his. Bringing it closer to her, her other hand strokes the back of his hand like she was petting a pet hamster.

"Mm Mm, I was just kidding. No cheating.

"

She set his hand down on her lap and she looks down at it. Her heart is truly happy. Happy that she was able to find someone like the King of Jealousy next to her.

However....

"Tian, I know you said you trust me and me coming here must be for my own reasons but...

"

She looks up at him and a faint smile cross her lip.

"I still want to explain it you.

"

Lu Tian looked at her and he nod his head in understanding. He had said that to her, but he would be lying if he didn't want to know. The only thing was that, even if she didnt tell him, he will still trust her. From the moment he first met her, he knows that Yue Ling is a person with reasons.

If she doesn't have a reason to be involve in anything, she wouldnt care about it.

Seeing Lu Tian's quiet nod, Yue Ling gaze at him for a brief moment. After what felt like a century, she move her line of sight to the lake.

"Uncle Nuo is an old friend of my parents.

"

As she said those words, she couldnt help but remember an old picture in her fathers study room. The picture at the time was old and faint in color, but it was a group picture of seven people. The seven people who were the best of friends with her parents.

"Not only was Uncle Nuo a friend of my parents, grandmother Nuo was my mothers nanny.

"

Her expression sadden in remembrance of grandmother Nuo at the food stall and the her on the hospital bed.

"When my mother married, grandmother Nuo was released of her position to enjoy her time with her family. I met her when my mother and father used to bring me to visit Imperial. It was then that I learned the friendship of the Nuo family and my family.

"

A light wind blew from the distance and her hair flutter along like silk. Lu Tian turn to look at her and he caress her strands of hair behind her ear. He didnt say a word, but continue to listen.

"My parents never cared if a person was rich or poor. They taught me that a true friend is rare to find... In this world, someone can say they are your friend, but what kind of friend is that if behind closed doors, they speak ill about you.

"

She turn to look in the direction of the hospital.

"The food stall we ate at is the Nuo family's. Growing up, I saw how much my parents cared for the Nuo family, so I made a promise that when I grow up, I will continue to help those my parents care about. Whether they are related to me by blood or not, I don't care.

"

Staring at the white hospital building, she thought of all the people in her life. From the ones who left her to the ones still in her life and the ones who are new in her life.

"I didn't know that grandmother Nuo had Alzheimer.... To think I have been always helping them, but they never once mentioned it to me... If Uncle Nuo had told me, I would of done everything within my reach to help her.... Even those hooligans didn't give way to her...

"

Her eyes dimmed at the thought of how grandmother ended up in the hospital and Doctor Xie's disgusting attitude towards the Nuo family.

"I want them to know what it's like to be on the other side.

"

In silence, Lu Tian gaze at his wife. Being a Lu, he's seen all kinds of people in the world. Especially those who are known as new money.

Once someone becomes wealthy, they become blind by money and forget where they came from. They become disgusted when seeing those struggling in life forgetting that that was once them.

To have met Yue Ling, he is happy that this wife of his is not a greedy person, nor is she selfish. Even he is not in comparison to her.

He loses his hand that is her hands and he wraps it over her shoulder. Bringing her closer to him, he tilt his head to lean on hers.

"You've already done so much for them, let me handle it this time.

"

It's only natural that he wants to shoulder everything for her. He wants everyone in the world to know that crossing the line with his wife is like crossing the line with him.

Hearing his words, Yue Ling looks up at him. Millions of emotions arouse in her heart. In the past, it had always been her who handled everything on her own...

Be it Shin or her yeye, she kept up a wall and never allowed them to help her, but.....

Why is it that Lu Tian always make her wall fall....?

Gazing into his deep dark eyes as she thought of this, she, without realizing slowly leans in and close the gap between them.

Her eyes close and her lip gently press against his, as if giving him her answer.

"....

"

Caught of guard, Lu Tian was truly surprised, but his beating heart bursting in joy was in more control.

His wife actually took the initiative to kiss him first!

He close his eyes and hugs his wife tighter, returning the kiss deeply to let her know that he will handle everything from here on out.

To let her know that he will be her strength.

To let her know that he will always be on her side.
