Next morning...
Jiang Yuyan was lying in a bed on her one side while looking at the man sleeping beside her. She was smiling to look at him and decided to tease him by running her forefinger across his face. She moved her finger from his forehead along the nose and as she reached to the lips, a man grabbed her hand, turned towards her in a hurry and pinned her in a bed under him.
She was still looking at him with a smile on her face as she was not surprised by his actions. He looked into her eyes with his lustful ones and leaned towards her smiling lips. He was about to kiss her, just then the phone beeped and a man sleeping in a bed opened his eyes while panting heavily.
He looked at his either side to search for Jiang Yuyan but she was not there. He sat up in bed and ran his hands through his hair as realizing it was a dream. "Jiang Yuyan! Why are you torturing me?" He exhaled through his mouth and got out of bed in an annoyance after throwing a quilt to one side.
Ming Rusheng straight went to the bathroom to get a cold shower to get rid of whatever wild thoughts he was having about Jiang Yuyan. He stood under the shower for a long time with his eyes closed and head down while the water flowing down across his body. How much he tried, he couldn’t stop thinking about her which forced him to relieve himself and finally he was calm.
He didn’t want to think about her. As realizing she was interested in Lu Qiang, he tried to accept the fact but it was not easy for him. The more he tried and decided to not think about her, the more his thoughts were running towards her. He was hating it but he couldn’t stop or control himself from getting attracted to her.
When he came downstairs for breakfast, Ming Lan was looking at the newspaper which had half page long pic of Lu Qiang and Jiang Yuyan together, holding each other’s hands in last night’s wedding ceremony. Ming Lan had sad expressions on her face but at the same moment, she was aware that she could never be with Lu Qiang even if she liked him a lot, thanks to the hatred of her grandfather and father towards Lu family.
Ming Rusheng saw the newspaper in her hands. He saw the picture and he had thought to tear it out at the very moment. His sight followed his sisters face and he noticed she was sad. He sat beside her and asked, "Did you like him that much?"
"Hmm! He is special and different," Ming Lan said those words immersed in her own thoughts. She didn’t realize what and to whom she was saying it.
"What is so special about him." Ming Rusheng asked again.
"She was still staring at the picture and said, "I don’t know but....." she stopped after realizing, she was saying something without even knowing what she was doing and the person she was talking to, was her brother.
"Cough-Cough! Brother! When did you come here." she asked with an embarrassed and scared face.
"When you were immersed in your own thoughts about that idiot," he replied and grabbed the newspaper from her hands. Ming Lan didn’t say anything and kept quiet. Just then a white luxury car arrived in a Ming Mansion and a man entered inside in a while.
"Uncle Zhang Wei!" Ming Rusheng exclaimed to see his maternal uncle and went to welcome him. Ming Rusheng was close to his uncle as Zhang Wei always treated him as his own son.
"How have you been Ming Rusheng?" Zhang Wei asked and went towards the sofa in the living room along with Ming Rusheng.
Ming Lan too stood up from her place and greeted her uncle. As Zhang Wei sat on the sofa his sight fell on the newspaper. He picked it up and looked at the picture in it. "Who is the girl with this boy?"
"That’s Jiang Yuyan. Aunt Mo Ruolan’s daughter," Ming Rusheng answered while having a softness in his eyes and a voice when he said her name.
"Hmm! Jiang Peizhi’s daughter. Are they engaged or what? I never heard that boy being with any girl or being engaged."
"They have not engaged uncle, they were just together last night," he said in a little annoyance in his voice which his uncle didn’t fail to notice. Also, the way Ming Rusheng was looking at the picture of Jiang Yuyan was noticed by him too.
Zhang Wei smiled with one corner of his lips curved upward and said, "Looks like history is repeating itself again."
"What do you mean uncle." Ming Rusheng asked feeling puzzled with his uncle’s words.
"Nothing Ming Rusheng just remember you are like my son and I won’t ever let my son lose." Zhang Wei replied and put the newspaper back.
Ming Rusheng was about to ask his uncle what he exactly meant, just then a voice disturbed him. "I think we should keep kids away from the things in the past, Zhang Wei."
"Elder sister! How have you bean." Zhang Wei avoided what his sister Zhang Jei said and stepped towards her to greet her.
As Zhang Wei reached to her, she said with a serious tone, "I hope you understood what I meant."
"Sister! It’s our duty to look after the happiness of our kids." Zhang Wei again avoided the seriousness she had in her words and on her face.
Zhang Jei knew her brother well and she was aware, he could go to any extent because of the hatred in his heart. "The happiness which comes by hurting someone is not worth it," she said again.
"To make others happy, sacrificing your happiness is not worth too, elder sister," he replied again not minding her words.
"If sacrificing yourself alone can make everyone happy and if it can help to maintain peace then it’s always worth it Zhang Wei, but you won’t understand it just as you couldn’t understand it in the past too." Zhang Jei said with anger in her eyes as he was not ready to listen to her and her words were harsh for him.
Ming Rusheng and Ming Lan were looking at their mother and uncle with puzzled expressions and questions in their minds. They couldn’t understand what and why they were talking to each other without any context.
Upon hearing his sister’s words, Zhang Wei felt angry but he couldn’t say anything to her as she was right. Still, Zhang Wei was being stubborn and he didn’t want to accept the fact. He was about to say something but just then, they heard footsteps and looked in its direction.
That was the elder Ming and his son Ming Yusheng, coming downstairs for breakfast. Seeing them, Zhang siblings kept quiet and all went for breakfast. After breakfast when they came back to the living room. Elder Ming saw the picture in the newspaper but didn’t react. Ming Yusheng too looked at the picture but didn’t utter a word to look at his father and others did the same as they knew, talking about Lus was forbidden thing for Mings.
