In the party hall, Jiang Yang and Lu Feng finally found a free time after being with Wang Peng for some time. Lu Feng’s eyes were searching for something which Jiang Yang noticed and said, "My sister must have found her way to your brother so stop searching for her."
"I am just worried as we have one wolf here," replied Lu Feng while still searching for Jiang Yuyan.
Jiang Yang smiled to look at Lu Feng’s worried face and said, "When one lion is with her then you don’t have to be worried."
Lu Feng nodded to hear it and said, "Hmm! Right. But I can’t stop myself from worrying about her."
"I know. After all, you are one of her admirers too whose heart beats for her even if you try to deny it." Jiang Yang replied teasingly while smiling widely which made Lu Fend to curse him, "A** hole! Can’t you shut your blatant mouth?"
"Why should I? Am I wrong? The way you looked at her with your jaw dropped, almost touching the ground when she came out of her room in her beautiful red dress, it proves a lot," said Jiang Yang to tease Lu Feng even more.
Lu Feng gave out a deep sigh and said, "She was looking pretty so that was an obvious reaction and what kind of a friend are you? You should avoid saying this to me directly as it might hurt me."
"I am the kind of friend who doesn’t want his friend to keep his emotions buried in his heart and get hurt alone. instead, I want him to take it out and show how he is feeling. It’s okay to like someone who can’t be with you. isn’t it normal? said Jiang Yuyan while feeling sad about his friend but he knew, he can’t do anything in this matter.
Lu Feng was aware that Jiang Yang cared about him so he accepted his caring words and said, "I am fine. Don’t think too much."
"Haha! I won’t. I can just wish, if I was a girl, I would have compensated for my sister’s absence in your life. By the way, as a man, I am not bad. What say?" Jinag Yang asked and winked at him.
Lu Feng frowned to hear it and said, "F**k you! Even if you were a girl, there was no chance for the annoyance like you, in my life."
"Ohh right, because the heart of these Lu brothers only beats for my sister." Jiang Yang said it and looked at Lu Lijun who was busy with his cousin, "Thank god Lu Lijun is a kid, or he would be the third admirer of her and I would have been consoling two of you here, right at this moment."
"Yeah! You should be thankful though. If he was an adult, he would have had Yuyan no matter what." Lu Feng replied while looking at Lu Lijun.
"Really?" Jiang Yang asked as being surprised by the words from Lu Feng and looked carefully at Lu Lijun.
"Hmm! You don’t know him yet," replied Lu Feng with a serious expression on his face.
In the corridor on the other side of the lawn....
"Who was she?" The handsome man in a black tuxedo asked Zhi Ruo.
Zhi Ruo was still looking in the direction in which Jiang Yuyan ran away. She was worried to see Jiang Yuyan in a disturbed condition as it was somewhat because of her. Upon hearing the words from the man, Zhi Ruo frowned and replied, "The way she was calling Lu Qiang’s name, you should understand it. Is your brain stopped working or what?"
"My brain is working fine or you would be in a bed with me right at the moment as your punishment instead of standing here in a corridor, after what you did." The man replied in his firm voice. He had no expression on his face but had something behind his deep sea blue eyes which made Zhi Ruo have goosebumps all over her body and she stepped back to stand a bit away from him.
The man observed her reaction and said with one corner of his lips curved up. "Are you still scared of me?"
"I...I am not. Why should I be?" Zhi Ruo replied while trying to hide how nervous she was.
"Hmm! You are right. Why you should be scared of me. I haven’t done anything with you, yet," the man replied and took one step towards her.
Zhi Ruo stepped further back and asked while looking into his eyes, "How did you find me?"
"I think you forgot who I am. Do you want me to remind me again?" He asked and stepped towards her again.
"I don’t want to come with you. So please go back," she said while moving further back.
"I know you hate me but I promised him that I will protect you always and I will do that even if I have to keep you in a cage," he replied and was ready to hold her hand.
Zhi Ruo pulled back her hand and said, "He is dead and his promises went away with him. So leave me alone," With this, Zhi Ruo started to cry.
The man who had calm expressions on his face looked angry with what Zhi Ruo said. "Yes! He is dead and it’s all because of you Zhi Ruo. I lost him because of you, so you have to take responsibility for it."
"Why don’t you just kill me then?" Zhi Ruo said and sat on the floor on her knees crying and sobbing.
"Trust me I want to, every time I see you but death is an easy punishment for you. I am going to make you suffer for your whole life, Zhi Ruo." The man said and stood away from her. Seeing her crying helplessly was breaking his heart but he didn’t want to acknowledge it. He wanted to hide what he actually felt for her. He wanted to make her stand up and hug her to say ’Don’t cry. It was not your fault’ but he couldn’t. He kept staring in another direction where it was raining while listening to the crying and sobbing Zhi Ruo which was like piercing his own heart with needles.
