Call off the wedding

The day soon turned dark as those residing in Imperial prepared to have dinner with their family and friends after a long day. And like the rest of the people, Lu Tian and Yue Ling arrive at Peony Villa, where the Lu family house stands under the sky.

Lu Tian's black Maserati Levante Trofeo enters the tightly secured gate of Peony Villa and slows to a stop in front of the neo-eclectic house with a limestone exterior. He had just turned the car engine off when the loud creaking of a door being pulled open could be heard from a short distance.

Both Yue Ling and Lu Tian turn to look in the direction of the sound, and like two peas in a pod, their eyebrows arch at the same time.

The couple could see Madam Lu making her way toward their car with an umbrella. Her pace was so fast that she had managed to open the passenger door in a blink of an eye.

"Ah Ling! You're here."

She ignores the presence of her son and takes hold of Yue Ling's hand.
