Chapter 24: My First Kiss got Stolen..."Boss, did something happen?" Finally, Xiao Min gathered the courage to ask him.
Lu Qiang coughed in embarrassment when he realized that he was being observed. Lu Qiang cleared his throat and answered with his usual poker face, "Nothing. Just thinking about something."
"Is there something worrying you?" Xiao Min knew this question was useless as his boss was smiling from ear to ear. Something good must have happened to him.
"No!" Lu Qiang replied in a firm voice.
As Xiao Min and the driver had thought, this discussion ended with the "No."
"Just thinking about repaying a kindness," he said, surprising the two. He opened his file again and started to go through them.
Xiao Min hadn't expected his boss to speak six more words after the initial reply. It surprised the driver, too. He didn't dare ask any further questions, sure that the quota for the boss' words had been fulfilled for the day.
Jiang Yuyan was waiting for her brother in the car near the intersection. It had been half an hour, and he still hadn't come back. As she was about to call him, she heard a knock on the window.

"What's in that bag?" She asked.
"A surprise for you," he said with a wink.
"For me?" she asked, surprised.
Laughing a little, he said, "Don't get too excited. I am just kidding. Those are undergarments for me in that bag."
She groaned at the comment. She chose to frown and gaze out of the window.
"What? Do you want to see? I don't mind it. They are quite s.e.xy," he said, pretending to take that shopping bag from the front seat.
"No need!" She didn't speak further, but she thought, 'Why don't these men mind showing off their lower bodies? Shameless!' Closing her eyes, she leaned back to take a nap. When they reached home, it was almost 6.30pm. Jiang Yuyan went straight to bed as she was tired to her bones.
7 pm, Lu Mansion.
Lu Qiang arrived home later than usual. He had spent extra hours trying to catch up with the work that had piled up.
When Lu Qiang reached the living room, two figures came towards him.
"Brother Lu Qiang, we are back." Lu Lian and Lu Bao, his younger sisters, greeted him.
Lu Bao was Lu Qiang's cousin and Lu Chen's daughter. She was a few years younger than Lu Lian. The two had gone on a trip with their friends during summer vacation. The sisters shared a close bond and were best buddies.
Lu Qiang looked at them with a smile. "How was your trip?" he asked.
Smiling brightly, Lu Lian replied, "It was awesome!"
"Yes! It was the best vacation we have had. How are you, brother Lu Qiang? Haven't you missed us?" Lu Bao asked.
Lu Qiang replied, "I did!"
"Hey! Let him take a breath first. He just came back from the office." It was Lu Han with his wife, Lu Xiu. "How are you, Lu Qiang?" he asked, directing his attention to his cousin.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLu Han was Lu Chen's eldest son. He handled the business from their ancestral town in the place of his father.
"I'm good," Lu Qiang answered. "When did you arrive?"
"Just a while ago."
A few years ago, elder Lu had called Lu Chen to the city as he missed living his both his sons. At the time, the responsibility of the business in town fell on Lu Han. The business in the town was the origin of Lu Corporation and couldn't be ignored; someone from the family needed to be there at all times.
"Brother, you are back." Lu Lijun came running when he saw his brother. Lu Qiang just patted his head with a smile.
"Did you see what our sisters brought for me? A dream catcher! Now I won't get any bad dreams. Isn't it nice?" He held the colorful, threaded dream catcher in his hand.
"Indeed," Lu Qiang replied. "I'll catch up with you later after I freshen up."
Lu LjJun nodded. "Grandpa called everyone to the garden, so I am going there."
"Okay! I'll be there soon."
At Jiang residence.
Jiang Yuyan was lying on her bed with her eyes closed. She remembered the incident in front of the washroom and the words uttered by the man. She sat up on the bed and touched her lips, exclaiming, "I just had my first kiss! How can that be?"
She was too upset.
"My first kiss happened just like that, and that too with a stranger!" She lay back down, stunned at the realization. She threw the quilt and pillows away and clutched her hair as she cried, "My first kiss… my first kiss got stolen!"
