Unaware about what their subordinates are up to, Yue Ling and Lu Tian arrived home to their quiet house.

"Wroof—

"

Just as they entered the front door, Inu pounced in their direction to welcome them with a bark. His tail wagged side to side in happiness that they are home.

"Oh my baby! Did you miss us?

"

Yue Ling happily calls out as she squats down to give the little guy a hug. She rubbed her cheeks against his soft fur and felt like his happiness had been transferred to her.

"Mommy missed you so much.

"

Standing behind his wife, Lu Tian did not eat any vinegar like before. He had already gotten used to the scene and closed the front door.

Walking over to them, he reach down and pat the Samoyed on the head then slip into his house slippers.

"I'll heat up something warm for you.

"

Saying this, he walks in the direction of the kitchen. Although they had ate the refreshments Ju Suo and Jiangyu bought, he wants to make sure that she has something warm to drink after being exposed to the cold weather.

Staring at the man turning into the kitchen, Yue Ling didn't know what to say. Lu Tian did not even wait to see if she was parched or hungry. She looks back at Inu and faintly smile.

Lu Tian is such a good man. Not only is she lucky to have him, he is always the one taking care of her.

She pats Inu on the head and decides to go upstairs to shower and change.

Walking up the stairs, she steps into one of the rooms she had converted into her closet. Grabbing a set of nightwear, she heads for the bathroom.

As she turns the water on to take a nice warm shower, Lu Tian remained in the kitchen.

He puts on the pink heart apron and heated up some milk for his wife. In the process, he also decided to make some congee for Yue Ling and their child.

While waiting for the congee to cook, he sees Inu standing by the open gap that connected the kitchen to the living room.

Turning to the little guy, he faintly smiles and walks over to the back door to let the guy out to take care of his (Inu) business.

Once Inu was let out, the sensor lights switches on and brightens the entire back courtyard for him.

Lu Tian closed the door and walks into the living room. Sitting on the sturdy coffee table, he stares out to Inu from the huge floor to ceiling window that gave view to the back yard of the house.

As he watched the little guy run wildly in the grass, he thought about their current situation.

Once their off day is over, he and his wife will be returning to work. That leaves Inu all alone in the house.

With the things happening now, he needs to adjust a few things around here.

That way, if he and Yue Ling leaves the house, the little guy will have some kind of shield to keep him protected.

Or if he has to attend a meeting outside of Imperial, with a few adjustments done to the house, he can be at ease knowing his family is protected.

As he thought about what to adjust in the house, one thought quickly led to another.

"What are you thinking about?

"

Yue Ling spoke from behind Lu Tian as her voice woke him from his long thought.

He does not turn to look at her but furrow his brows in surprise.

This is the first time he had ever been so lost in his own thoughts. Not only that, he didn't even hear her footsteps approach from behind.

Shaking the feeling away, he turns to her. However, staring at her, he couldn't help but smile.

Her fair skin was slightly red due to the warm shower with hair slightly damp. No matter how she looked like, whether it was with makeup or without, he can never get enough of her.

However, remembering her question, he stood up from sitting down and walks over to her.

"What do you think about adjusting a few things in our home?

"

Yue Ling tilt her head at his words,

"Adjustments? Like what?

"

"Whatever you want.

" He held her hand and walks her to the kitchen.

"I was thinking, since we aren't home most of the time, maybe we should add a few things to the house. That way, when Inu is alone, he will be protected.

"

As his words fell, the couple arrived at the dining table. He helps her sit in the chair then walks over to the stove to turn off the fire for the warm milk and checked on the congee.

Seeing that the congee is almost ready, he takes a cup out from the cabinet and pours a bit of the warm milk inside. Walking back to the table, he set it down and looks at her.

"What do you think?

"

Yue Ling stares down at the cup of warm milk and ponder in thought about his suggestion.

She is surprised to see the man care for Inu's safety, but she has trained Inu from a young age and knows that the little guy is not like any ordinary house pet.

He is a brave and clever little guy who isn't afraid of anything.

However, Lu Tian is right. Once they leave the house, Inu is all alone.

Even if their current situation did not happen, anything can still happen in the future.

After thinking thoroughly, she comes to a decision and looks at the man.

"We can make a few adjustments.

"

Hearing her agreement, Lu Tian was relieved. He knows that she is only thinking about Inu's safety while he is thinking about theirs, but he does not mind as long as she agrees with this.

He gently held the back of her head and moves her closer to him as he leans to her. Placing a soft kiss on her forehead, he pulls away in a smile and turn for the stove.

"I'll inform my men about the adjustments needed.

"

Yue Ling's eyes blinked at the man with a muddled expression. Trying to remember the faces of his team, she furrow her brows.

"Shouldn't we hire a carpenter for this?

"

As her question fell, Lu Tian was currently making her a bowl of congee. He faintly chuckles and turn to her with the bowl in hand.

Walking back to her, he place the bowl down and hands her a spoon.

"Three members of my team are carpenters.

"

"…
