Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Once Lu Lian left Ming Rusheng's office, someone came out of the lounge of the office that startled Ming Rusheng.

"Good to see there is a woman in this world who can bash at you, and you listened to everything so quietly."

Ming Rusheng didn't turn to look at the person as he recognized the voice and also, was busy looking at the picture in hands.

"I thought you left, uncle," he commented, not thinking about his uncle had heard the conversation between him and Lu Lian.

"I was tired, so I thought to rest as you were busy in a meeting, and when I was about to come out, I heard the beautiful melody by a woman," Zhang Wei replied.

"You should stop traveling and exerting yourself, uncle." Saying, Ming Rusheng went to the couch carrying the crunched shopping bag.

Zhang Wei sat on the couch and looked at the bag, "What's that?"

"Thing's I once left behind," Ming Rusheng answered.

"Who was the girl?" Zhang Wei asked.

Ming Rushen put the shopping back on the center table, "The one who had it and came to return."

"This is not what I am asking. Don't try to turn around the things. I want to know who is the lady who can dare to confront my Nephew so boldly, and he couldn't say a word."

"Did you enjoy the show uncle," Ming Rusheng asked sarcastically.

"I did. Now tell me who she was? It seems like someone from a good family and a morally upright person," Zhang Wei commented.

"Lu Qiang's sister," Ming Rusheng replied.

"Lu Family? No wonder the girl is so good," said Zhang Wei as he smiled.

"You should be on my side, uncle," said Ming Rusheng react as he kept looking at the shopping bag.

"Of course I am, but I liked the way that girl scolded you. Did you like her," Zhang Wei asked, observing the change in his Nephew.

"I don't even know her, uncle…."

"To like someone, sometime just one encounter is enough. You even didn't know Yuyan, but you liked her," Zhang Wei said, referring to Jiang Yuyan.

"Don't talk about her," Ming Rusheng warned his uncle, and Zhang Wei understood there was something.

"What happened?"

"Nothing."

"That means there is something," Zhang Wei concluded, "Now be a good boy and tell me or it will continue to make you bitter."

Giving up to his uncle, Ming Rusheng told him everything.

"You were at fault, Ming Rusheng. You can't abduct her like this and ask her to marry you," Zhang Wei confronted as he added, "I am glad that you didn't do anything….."

"I can never do something bad to a woman uncle, and hurting her is the out of the question," Ming Rusheng interrupted.

"I know my Nephew is a good man and….." Zhang Wei stopped as he was about to say Ming Rusheng was not like his uncle.

"And?" Ming Rusheng waited for his uncle to finish.

"And he will always know what is right and what is wrong," Zhang Wei continued. "Let her be, Ming Rusheng. You know what she had gone through and what she had done after Lu Qiang's death. She is not the woman who would want any man in her life, so don't think about her."

"I know but….." he stopped.

"Was it the reason you were so harsh with this Lu girl?" Zhang Wei asked.

Ming Rusheng agreed. "Hmm, I think I had lost my mind and took it out on her."

He was feeling guilty about his actions towards Jiang Yuyan and Lu Lian.

"You should apologize to that girl," Zhang Wei suggested.

"There is no need. I gave her a chance to say her part, and she used it nicely. Now we are even."

"Hmm, she called you trash. What a bold girl," Zhang Wei Laughed and Ming Rushneg smiled too, "Agree."

"I can see you are not angry at her. I think you…."

"Uncle, don't overthink. I am starving; let's go for lunch."

Ming Rusheng managed to stop the conversation, or his uncle would have planned for his wedding even.

The time passed by with the season after season continued to change but there was no change in anyone's life as if their lives were frozen.

The months passed by, and Lu Lijun continued to receive gifts from his family on every occasion like Christmas and the new year or any other Chinese festival. In his gift box, there used to be a random gift with no one's name on it.

On Christman, he got the woolen scarf to protect from cold, and on the new year, he got few gadgets. He didn't know what he thought that those gifts were from Jiang Yuyan and kept them safe.

Finally, the year changed, months passed by, and summer arrived.

----------

"Boss, the gift box is ready to send. Don't you wish to send him anything on the birthday?" Xiao Min asked, looking at his Boss, who was busy working.

Jiang Yuyan pulled out one greeting card from her table's drawer as she instructed, "Put it inside the box."

Xiao Min accepted it feeling sad because, in a few days, it was not just Lu Lijun's birthday, but Lu Qiang's birthday was on the same day too. He was worried about what his Boss will do on that day and felt hurt to think about it.

Sensing the gaze on her, Jiang Yuyan commented. "Stop looking at me like this, Xiao Min. You should save all this for assistant Li."

Xiao Min gulped, "Boss, assistant Li and me…."

"You don't need to explain anything to me. Instead, go to him," Jiang Yuyan interrupted him, still busy with her work.

"Hmm!" Xiao Min turned to leave, and he heard his Boss again.

"You should not give up without trying. You know how your Boss dealt with me when I came back to China," she said.

"Understood boss."

Xiao Min and left, immersed in his thoughts thinking how he should approach his senior who denied meeting him even once and when he went to his home, his senior didn't let him in, saying he was busy.

Months passed by when Xiao Min met or saw his senior as assistant Li didn't attend any corporate meeting and was handling the other things in Xi businesses.

All this while Xiao Min was trying to find out how he could make it happen when he was not sure about his senior's feelings towards him and what will happen when he confesses to him.
