"Yuyan must have thought about everything before taking a step. Don’t forget she is not any ordinary girl as we know what she is," Mo Ruolan commented.
"Whatever it is but for me she is my daughter who needs her father to protect her but every time her father failed to do so," said Jiang Peizhi, his eyes turned teary.
"I feel the same as you, but I have decided to let her do what she wants and I wish you to do the same."
"What else can we do? Is there even any option left for us?" Jiang Peizhi questioned, he looked frustrated with what his daughter did.
"Let it be for time being and wait for what she wants to do. We all should give her time to cope with it."
"Hmm! I’ll go meet her tomorrow," Jiang Peizhi declared and it worried Mo Ruolan.
"Be calm when you will see her."
"Don’t worry. I am not going to confront her. What’s the use when a person is already hurt to not get affected by small things. I want to be by her side as her father."
"Hmm!"

The same night...
The Night was the time when Jiang Yuyan could get time for her other things as in the daytime, Lu Lijun was always around her. It would be her daily schedule to be an angel for Lu Lijun in the daytime and be in her devil form at night.
As usual, making sure that Lu Lijun was in a deep sleep, Jiang Yuyan went to the gallery and called San Zemin.
San Zemin was already expecting to get the call as he knew his boss was back in the city.
The moment San Zemin picked up the call, Jiang Yuyan asked, "Where is Lu Feng?"
Lu Feng was not home since the day he came to the city and it worried Jiang Yuyan and other family members too though it was nothing new for them when Lu Feng didn’t return home for days.
"He is in his home," San Zemin replied.
"His home?" It was something new for Jiang Yuyan.
"He has his own place to stay."
"How is he?" Jiang Yuyan asked, though her voice was cold, inside she was worried about Lu Feng.
"He didn’t step out of the home even once since when he went there, so we can’t guess what is he doing."
It worried Jiang Yuyan even more. "Why didn’t you check on him? It’s not that he doesn’t know you. You seem to be his friend."
The last line was a sarcastic remark from Jiang Yuyan as it pissed her off that San Zemin didn’t check on Lu Feng. Since the day Jiang Yuyan saw them together in the night at Lu Mansion, she knew San Zemin and Lu Feng knew each other.
Her words startled San Zemin, but he replied, "He doesn’t like it if we spy on him. He will get to know it and that would be worse."
"Seems like you have done it before?" Jiang Yuyan commented.
San Zemin agreed, "Hmm! In the past when the boss ordered us to do so, he caught us spying on him that made him angry and later he shifted to another place that it was hard to find him."
"But, Mrs. Lu....."
"I need to fix what I broke."
San Zemin understood and said, "The car and the driver would be ready whenever Mrs. Lu wants."
"Hmm!" As Jiang Yuyan was about to be hung up the call, San Zemin spoke, "Mrs. Lu!"
Jiang Yuyan didn’t hang up and waited for San Zemin to continue.
"I wish you to visit a place that belongs to you now," said San Zemin.
"Soon but I hope till then you will keep everything ready. The time I have given to you is about to end."
Not Waiting for San Zemin’s reply, Jiang Yuyan hung up the call. She knew what place San Zemin was talking about, but her first goal was to go to Lu Feng while the second one was to plan everything properly.
------
The next morning, Jiang Peizhi and Mo Ruolan went to see their daughter. Jiang Yuyan was in the garden’s gazebo with Lu Lijun and seeing her parents there, she guessed why her father was there.
"Lu Lijun, be here and draw whatever you want till then I will talk to my parents."
Lu Lijun nodded and Jiang Yuyan went to her parents, who were standing at a distance from the gazebo.
Seeing how she was taking care of Lu Lijun and how her all the time was only for Lu Lijun, they felt worried as she will always be doing this and there would be no future for her.
Jiang Yuyan greeted her parents. Both sides didn’t know how to start the conversation.
"How are you doing?" Finally, Jiang Peizhi asked.
"I am well, father.’’ After this reply, there was an awkward silence, but Jiang Yuyan thought to come to the point.
"I know why you are here, father. You can scold me or say whatever you want, but this is the choice I made and I don’t regret it." Jiang Yuyan declared as her sight passed across Lu Lijun, who was busy drawing.
"I am just worried about your future. Nothing else," said Jiang Peizhi.
"There is no future left for me, father as it all ended up with him. What left now is the responsibilities he passed to me," Jiang Yuyan countered.
Hearing such heavy words from their young daughter, both didn’t know what to say.
"You can take your time till Lu Lijun gets better and later....."
Jiang Yuyan interrupted her mother. "Mother, don’t expect me to leave all this and start my life anew because I don’t wish to do so. There are a lot more things for me to do, I hope both of you won’t ask me to back down."
"We are not stopping you from doing anything. We just don’t want you to do something that might harm you. In the past, you...."
Jiang Yuyan again interrupted her mother, "I might do worse than what I did in the past and I don’t want this to hide from you. It would be better if you won’t worry about me." Jiang Yuyan declared that scared the parents.
