Once Lu Qiang excused himself and went upstairs to his room, Jiang Yuyan sat beside Elder Lu. everyone was talking about something but Jiang Yuyan was just nodding to what these people were saying, as her mind was busy in thinking about Lu Qiang. She wanted to talk to him as soon as possible.
Just in while, it was dinner time. Lu Qiang came downstairs after getting freshen up and all went to dining room. As usual everyone sat on their chairs with Lu Lijun on left side of of Lu Qiang and Jiang Yuyan on his right side. Jiang Yuyan was peaking a glances at Lu Qiang. She was afraid that he might be upset with her but it was Lu Qiang’s normal behavior in home as not being too talkative.
Whenever Lu Qiang’s sight met with Jiang Yuyan, he gave her light smile and was behaving as usual but still Jiang Yuyan was worried about him being upset with her. Lu Qiang was paying attention to Lu Lijun and Jiang Yuyan’s dish too.
This time when Lu Qiang served food in Jiang Yuyan’s dish, other family members were smiling and were looking at each other while Lu Feng and Lu Lijun were eating with neutral expressions on their faces as they were unaware about everything going on there. Everyone could guess, what was the meaning of Lu Qiang’s action as he never ever paid this much attention to anyone else but his younger brother Lu Lijun.
Lu Qiang noticed, Jiang Yuyan was not eating properly. She was too slow and was eating like something had stuck in her throat. Lu Qiang looked at her and said in an ordering way with firm voice and no expression on face, "Eat properly." Then, he served some vegetables in her dish and filled her bowl with a soup again without giving her a chance to say ’No’.
Other started look at their partners in gossiping and were smiling. Lu Qiang suddenly noticed, everyone was smiling when he passed his sight across the table, once he finished serving Jiang Yuyan.
Lu Qiang asked while again passing his sight to across everyone in the room, "What?"
Upon hearing this, expressions on their faces changed from smiling to silent one. Elder Lu replied, "What? What? We were just wondering, when that day will come, when my grandson will serve food in our dishes too and order us to eat properly like we are kids." All nodded to what elder Lu said apart from Lu Feng and Lu Lijun who were neither surprised with Lu Qiang’s action nor they were smiling like others did.
Lu Qiang replied with firm voice, "Don’t be delusional. Just concentrate on your food, all of you."
Elder Lu smiled teasingly and said, "Delusional? I think, I am now days. That means I am too old and near to my last moments, so you should give me grandchildren before those last moments arrives towards me."
Lu Qiang sighed and said, "Don’t worry grandpa, I will make sure, you will not meet your final moments until you won’t see your grandchildren."
Nobody said anything further as Jiang Yuyan was sitting there and she might feel awkward. Dinner was over and after chatting for sometime, all went to their rooms as it was late.
Jiang Yuyan too wished everyone good night and went to her room and Lu Qiang just saw her retreating back. As Lu Qiang was ready to go with Lu Lijun, Lu Lijun stopped him and said, "Elder brother, you must be tired today as you were working whole day, so don’t accompany me to sleep. I will be with brother Lu Feng. We both planned to play game tonight as tomorrow is sunday."
Lu Qiang replied, "That’s okay, but sleep early."
Lu Feng looked at Lu Qiang and nodded saying, "Rest assured."
Lu Qiang nodded lightly as saying as ’Okay’ and wished both his brothers good night and went upstairs to second floor. He straight went to Jiang Yuyan’s room instead of his room. Lu Qiang knocked on the door and it opened in just in a second. Jiang Yuyan opened the door and when she saw Lu Qiang, she immediately hugged him tightly.
Lu Qiang was surprised on her action but felt glad too. He hugged her back and asked while holding her gently in his embrace, "Did you miss me that much?"
Jiang Yuyan nodded but didn’t let go of him. She held him like he was going to leave her again. Lu Qiang patted her back lightly and said, "Let’s go inside."
Jiang Yuyan finally let go of him and both went inside the room. Her eyes looked moist as she was about to cry. Lu Qiang held her face in his palm and looked at her in her eyes. He asked, "Why are you crying? I am here now."
Jiang Yuyan replied, "Because, you left and didn’t even informed me. You broke your promise. Whole day I was waiting for you like crazy."
Lu Qiang looked at her with puzzled expressions and said. "Didn’t inform you? What does that mean?"
Jiang Yuyan replied, "Yes, you didn’t inform me that you were going to office and won’t be coming back soon."
Lu Qiang pinched the space between his eyebrows and said, "Well, where is your mobile?"
Jiang Yuyan replied coldly, "I don’t know."
Lu Qiang let go of her and searched for her mobile which was on bedside table but was on silent mode. Lu Qiang looked at her and asked, "When was the last time you touched your mobile?"
Jiang Yuyan replied casually while not giving much thought about it, "Last night when brother Yang and my parents called."
Lu Qiang sighed and said, "We carry these mobiles with us not to keep it as show pieces. You should have checked it at least once." Lu Qiang opened the messages in her mobile and held the cellphone in front of her face and said, "See!"
Jiang Yuyan replied, "I know but you are always here so I don’t need it. I thought you were upset with me and left, so why would you message me and also, I was panicked to think about anything rationally"
