Lu Qiang could see why Jiang Yang was worried about Nixxxie as he had already suffered seeing his sister. "Don’t worry I will look into it," Lu Qiang assured him.
"Isn’t there any way to get her out from there?" Jiang Yang asked.br>"We can but not right now and I can just say that soon he would be out of their lives," Lu Qiang replied
"Soon? How much soon? Till then I don’t want it to be so late."
Putting a hand on Jiang Yang’s shoulder to calm him down, Lu Qiang spoke, "I will ask my men to keep an eye on her. Don’t worry. What you are worried about won’t happen."
Finally, Jiang Yang opened his eyes to look at him and said, "I am so worried about her. I don’t know how she lived with such a man around her all the time."
"I can understand but somewhere I am sure she will be fine. Soon I am going to visit him so rest assured."
"Visit him?" Jiang Yang was surprised to hear it.
"Just to settle a few things. Nothing much," Lu Qiang replied.
"Hmm!"
"Do you want to have dinner with me? We can go out or I can just order it here." Lu Qiang didn’t want to leave Jiang Yang alone in this condition.
Jiang Yang was feeling too tired and said, "Hmm! Here would be better. I don’t want to go out. Call our stubborn friend too."
Lu Qiang called Lu Feng and asked him to come for dinner with them. Lu Feng agreed and at the time of dinner, Lu Feng arrived there. Lu Qiang informed Jiang Yuyan that he won’t be coming home for dinner and he would be late.
Jiang Yuyan was fine with it but she was already missing and couldn’t help but feel sad. She went to the dining room and sat in her chair looking at the empty chair of Lu Qiang.
Elder Lu noticed it and asked, "Is he going to be late today?"
"Hmm!" Jiang Yuyan nodded.
"Isn’t it obvious to understand from her sad face?" Lu Lijun said while looking at Jiang Yuyan, sitting in his chair.
"Haha! You are right," Elder Lu replied and others laughed at it.
Jiang Yuyan was already upset and hearing it, Jiang Yuyan gave him a look as if she was saying ’You little boy. Stop teasing me or I might beat you.’
Lu Lijun stared back at her and said with a smirk on his lips, "Even if you give me this look, I won’t stop so stop sulking from inside as if you want to beat me."
"Cough-Cough! W-When did I say it." Jiang Yuyan asked. She was stunned to see how he was able to guess her inner thoughts.
Lu Lijun got up from his chair to pass her water as she was coughing. His hands were short to reach across the table so he got up and sat in Lu Qiang’s chair.
Offering her water, he said, "You don’t need to say it as your eyes are enough to convey your threatening message."
Others were smiling to see it and didn’t disturb both of them as they were happy to see Lu Lijun getting well along with Jiang Yuyan. Lu Lijun never teased anyone before but he was enjoying doing it with Jiang Yuyan.
Hearing him, Jiang Yuyan moved her sight away from him to her dish and didn’t say anything as others were sitting but it looked like she was thinking something.
"Don’t worry. Though elder brother is not here, I will look after you as I have promised him to take care of you in his absence," Lu Lijun said it and sat in Lu Qiang’s chair shifting his dish from his previous place to the current one.
"I am fine, Lu Lijun. Don’t worry about me." Saying it, Jiang Yuyan started to eat.
"Hmm! I believe you." Saying it he added some food in her dish and said, "As you are fine, then finish it all."
"This much? What do you think, am I a cow or what?" Jiang Yuyan exclaimed.
Lu Lijun nodded and said with a slight smile on his face, "Hmm! A cute cow. Now finish it."
All laughed to hear what Lu Lijun said and they were looking at him to see how he was smiling and teasing her. It was the new side of him they were witnessing. All were silently looking at this bickering pair while eating.
Jiang Yuyan remembered the word ’cute cow’ when Lu Qiang called her like this and said, "You are behaving like your brother."
"Haven’t you said it before that I am like elder brother?" Lu Lijun didn’t fail to reply her properly.
"I said it once but stop behaving like him."
"I am not behaving like him. This is what I am." Lu Lijun replied while straight staring in her eye.
Suddenly Elder Lu laughed and said, "He is one Lu after all. How he can not be like us and his own brother? I am so proud of my little grandson that he is going to be a real Lu from his bones to the flesh."
Lu Jinhai nodded and said, "You are right, father."
"Lu Lijun, let her eat quietly." suddenly Ning Jiahui interrupted Lu Lijun before he could tease Jiang Yuyan more.
Hearing it, Jiang Yuyan gave out a sigh of relief.
"Hmm! Lu Lijun nodded and both started to eat quietly. Still, Lu Lijun continued to add food in her dish and she couldn’t say no. She lost her appetite after knowing Lu Qiang would come home late but because of Lu Lijun, she had to eat.
Once dinner was done, Jiang Yuyan went out in the garden to freshen up her mood and thought to wait for Lu Qiang sitting in the garden instead of being locked in a room.
When she was sitting alone on the bench under the tree in the garden, in a while someone came there and stood behind her. Before she could turn to see who that was, she was covered in a shawl.
