Jiang YuYan was surprised to hear this and turned her sight towards Lu Qiang. Lu Qiang looked at her too and smiled with a light nod as saying 'That's true'. Everyone was just busy with teasing Lu Qiang and Jiang YuYan. But Lu LiJun was not happy at all.
Lu LiJun : "Did you really dance with her?" He asked with an unhappy expressions.
Lu Qiang : "Huuu!" He nodded while looking at him but didn't say anything further. Lu LiJun shifted his gaze towards Jiang YuYan and kept staring at her with unhappy gaze. He held Lu Qiang's hand tightly like saying 'Stay away from my brother'.
Jiang YuYan noticed his reaction but ignored it, considering that he was just a little kid. She then looked at the others and said, "Please excuse us." She held her brother's hand and dragged him with her. They stopped at a certain distance away from Lus.
Jiang YuYan : "What a rude child!" She frowned.
Jiang Yang : "Who? Lu LiJun."

Jiang Yang : "No! From what I see, he is just possessive about his elder brother." He said while looking in the direction of Lu LiJun who was still holding his brother's hand. Jiang Yang too noticed Lu LiJun's cold behaviour towards his sister.
Jiang YuYan : "Whatever."
Jiang Yang : "So! Did you enjoy?" He tried to change the topic, thinking that she was upset because of Lu LiJun's behaviour.
Jiang YuYan : "What?"
Jiang Yang : "Being a dance partner of the most awaited man in this party."
Jiang YuYan : "My a**." She was angry but she couldn't understand why? Her mind was in a mess.
Jiang Yang : "Cough **Cough! Be careful about what you say, I am afraid that nobody will ask you for a dance after listening such words from your mouth. We are in China not in America."
Jiang YuYan : "I don't care."
Jiang Yang : "But I do! It's time for you to have a boyfriend now. He paused and said, "By the way, I liked him." And pointed in the direction of Lu Qiang.
Jiang YuYan : "Then go and make him your boyfriend." She said annoyingly.
Jiang Yang : "Haha! I wish, but unfortunately I am straight and moreover I think he is interested in you. The way he was holding you while dancing, that gave me goosebumps and I regretted being single for the first time in my life."
When these two were chatting, Lu Qiang too was busy with others but still his sight was seeking for the glimpse of Jiang YuYan. She too was unknowingly looking at him. She wanted to avoid it desperately but couldn't help it. She started to feel uncomfortable with his sight fixed on her.
Just then Jiang Peizhi and Jiang Ruolan came to them with one guest in the party. He was a very famous cardiologist from the same hospital where Jiang Yang was about to start his practice. Four of them were busy in their conversation. Jiang YuYan excused herself and walked towards the door on the left side of the hall which opened into the huge lawn area of the hotel. She wanted to get some fresh air and relaxed herself down.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen she reached in the lawn, she saw a small shade which was quite far from the hall and was in the left side of the Lawn. All the lights around there were on. Everything looked bright because of so many lights. As she started to walk in the direction of the shade, she saw there was a man in black suit under one tree which was at the extreme right corner of the lawn. The tree was quite far from the shade exactly perpendicular to it.
While walking, she was observing that man in between. The man was standing with the support of the tree. His back was resting on the tree trunk with his one leg bent backward to rest on the lower part of the trunk. He was smoking. She couldn't see his face as he was far away and also the tree was blocking his face from the light in the lawn. As he finished the cigarette in his hand, he opened the cigarette pack in his hand and pulled out another one. He held it in his mouth and lit it up with the lighter. She frowned and ignored the man.
Jiang YuYan reached near the shade in few minutes. It was small and beautifully decorated shade having a space for only 5-6 people to stand comfortably inside it but there was no sitting arrangement. The shade had a metal railing around it, high enough to rich one's waist and was dyed in a white glittery paint.
Jiang YuYan walked inside it and stood there by taking the support of railing. Her brain was overflowing with so many thoughts at a time. She was upset with herself for getting affected because of him. She didn't know what she was feeling. It was the first time ever something like that was happening to her and someone was affecting her to this extent. She couldn't even stop it. There were so many "Whys" in her mind.
When she wanted to push him away, why she couldn't do it wholeheartedly. When she was close to him, why she was so nervous? When he touched her, why she unknowingly liked it. When he teased her, why she couldn't get angry at him for his bold and perverted words. When he peeked glances at her, why she couldn't help but look back at him. Why she couldn't control her heart from beating faster? Why she had to surrender to his words and obey it?
She was frustrated and angry. She closed her eyes and started to press her temples. She took deep breaths repeatedly to calm herself down. After that she turned around to face in the opposite direction of the hall. She was standing with her both hands resting on the railing of the shade.
She looked at her right side in the direction of the tree, where the man in a black suit was standing before but to her surprise he was gone. She then looked at the waterfall which was few meters away from where she was standing. A mild sound of the flowing water in that beautiful waterfall made her feel better.
She was standing there with her eyes closed, listening to the sound of flowing water. After sometime, she heard the sound of footsteps which was getting clearer with each passing moment. She opened her eyes and turned around just to find that someone was standing behind her.
