Chapter 58: I Really Missed You!!!
When Lu Qiang and Jiang Yang reached inside the patio, both sisters excused themselves as they too had to woke up early next day. Now only these three left in the shade.
Jiang Yang : "It's been a long time since we are here. Nothing has changed." He said while looking around inside the patio.
Jiang YuYan : "True."
Just then again Jiang Yang's cell phone rang.
Jiang YuYan : "I am observing that now a days you are getting so much calls. What's the Matter?." She asked suspiciously.
Jiang Yang : "What can I say. My beautiful patients in the USA still miss their handsome doctor. Excuse me but it's an emergency call from the hospital." And he left the patio leaving only these two behind.
Jiang YuYan didn't know what to talk so she just sat there and looked here and there. Lu Qiang knew something was not right with her so this time he didn't tease her. He just sat beside her but at some distance away which was quite surprising for her. Both were sitting side by side facing in the same direction.
Lu Qiang : "Are you alright?" He asked while looking at her to his left side.
Jiang YuYan : "Huuu! What can happen to me?" She said but didn't look at him instead she looked in other direction.
Lu Qiang : "Is it because you don't want to stay here in Lu Mansion or is it because of me?" He knew she will not say anything so he just prefered to ask her directly.
Jiang YuYan : "No! It's just because of me." She said it and lowered her eyes to stare to the floor.
Lu Qiang didn't ask much further because after talking to her brother Jiang Yang he could guess that there was something that was bothering her and she won't open herself soon. He then just changed the topic.
Lu Qiang : "How have you been all these years? Haven't you missed me?" He wanted to listen 'Yes' but...
Jiang YuYan : "Well I....." She didn't know how to reply him. She didn't want to say 'No' and also couldn't say 'Yes' too.
Lu Qiang : "But I really missed you." He said without waiting for her reply.
These simple few words from Lu Qiang touched her heart. She didn't expect to have such normal conversation with him because of his flirty behaviour before. And his words 'I missed you' surprised her even more. She didn't say anything in return.
Just then Jiang Yang arrived and realised that both were silent specially his sister. Jiang YuYan got up and said, "Both of you continue your talk. I'll take my leave." And she left the patio. She could feel that his words struck to her heart but she didn't want to acknowledge that.
When she left, both looked at her retreating back. Jiang Yang then sat beside Lu Qiang.
Jiang Yang : "Don't worry! I am sure one day she will open herself to you. Just behave the same way as you did when you were dancing with her and when you were with her in the shade of that lawn yesterday."
Lu Qiang : "Are you asking me to be a Pervert?"
Jiang Yang : "Exactly."
Lu Qiang just smiled and looked in the direction of Jiang YuYan who was sitting alone and looked like in a deep thoughts. Just then Jiang Yang started to talk.
Jiang Yang : "How's Lu Feng? I couldn't talk to him much but he looked different. I mean very silent and isolated."
Lu Qiang : "Huuu! You are right. After my father's accident everything changed between both of us too. He suddenly stopped talking to everyone and isolated himself from the family and the business too."
Jiang Yang : "From business too? But his dream was to become like your father and help him with the business to take Lu Corporation to the another level. I still remember his words which were full of determination."
Lu Qiang : "Right! After my father's accident, I expected him to join the company and work for his dream as I was not interested in business but he declined it and left the home to stay at the school's dormitory. He hardly used to came back to the home. After his master's degree he even rejected any kind of financial support from the family. He never received any help and I still don't know what he do to earn the money."
Jiang Yang: "That's strange!"
Lu Qiang : "Once I asked him about his work but he didn't say anything. He just said that he will not do anything which can tarnish the name of our family. Its been seven years and he never even once stepped into the Lu Corporation's office. Once he even rented an apartment for himself and moved in there but Grandpa brought him back. Grandpa promised him that he can do whatever he wants and he can live the way that suits him and nobody will ever question him. He couldn't say no to Grandpa and came back."
Lu Qiang never shared these things with anyone before but having Jiang Yang back was like a relief for him and wanted to share everything with his old friend. He blurted out everything he could. Jiang Yang too heard him sincerely.
Jiang Yang : "It looks like so much has changed that year."
Lu Qiang : "How come you became a doctor. As I remember, you always wanted to study the space science and that's what the reason, your family decided to stay in USA."
Jiang Yang : "That year just like you two brothers, our lives changed too. Everything is related to her and only she can tell you about it. That particular year was like living in a hell for us especially for Jiang YuYan. Since then my life revolves only around her and hers to mine. But now I want her to be on her own."
After listening this, Lu Qiang's expressions changed and he again looked at her with worried expressions and thought what might have happened to make her suffer. She was sitting alone far from them on the bench under the tree.
Jiang Yang : "Don't worry she is fine now." He sensed the worry on Lu Qiang's face.
Just then Lu Feng arrived in his car. Grandpa Lu Huan called him so he walked towards everyone instead of going back to the mansion. In between, he saw Jiang YuYan was sitting on the one corner of the bench under the tree which was Lu Feng's usual place to spend his time alone. He stopped and looked at her but she didn't realised it as she was busy in her own world.
