"Welcome back," Jiang Yang said calmly while his parents entered the home with the same silence they carried with them from Lu Mansion.

"I'll get water for you two," Jiang Yang said and went to the kitchen while his parents made themselves comfortable on the couch and they felt like finally, they could breathe after a long exhausting journey.

Jiang Yang offered them water and sat on the sofa. Just as his parents finished drinking, he said, "I got to know what happened at the Lu Mansion."

Mor Ruolan looked at Jiang Yang who was calm even after knowing what happened and didn't look bothered with it, "Were you aware of it?"

Jiang Yang nodded.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Jiang Peizhi asked.

"What can I say when my sister is adamant about marrying someone? I just didn't want to worry you two."

"Stil, if we had an idea, all this could have been avoided," Mo Ruolan added.

"It was something that could not be avoided whatever we all tried. So it's better this way. Now everyone is aware of it so it will be faster to get to an end so no one will suffer for long," Jiang Yang assured.

"Put an end? How will it end? I don't see any better end to it. After the peace of ten years, something is there to ruin this peace," Mo Ruolan said, "I thought finally it's time for Yuyan to settle down and think about her life only but…doesn't seem possible now. I wonder what she is thinking and is up to at this moment. She didn't even receive our calls."

"Give her some time. She will be here when she gets her mind clear," Jiang Yang assured.

"Once she is back, I will convince her to go with us to the USA," Jiang Peizhi, who was unhappy with the sudden turn of events, commented.

"Father, it won't be that easy now," Jiang Yang looked at his parents and asked, "Do you two oppose the idea of her being with Lu Lijun?"

"I know my daughter well. She will not agree to it so better to take her away. She had given enough of her time to others," Jiang Peizhi replied.

"I am asking about both of your opinions and not about what you think Yuyan wants," Jiang Yang repeated his question.

Jiang Peizhi offered a displeased glare to his son and asked, "Looking at you, it seems like you have already accepted him for Yuyan."

"What's wrong with it?" Jiang Yang countered, "I just know one thing that no one can love Yuyan as much as he does. I can see it in him. Other than Lu Qiang he is the only one who can treasure her."

"Do you think it is that easy? Do you think Yuyan will ever accept it? I saw her there. She was angry but could not take it out on him. I am worried that her anger will come out in another way," Jiang Peizhi added.

Jiang Yang nodded, "I know and she might really do something that she doesn't want to but we have to take care of it and stop her."

"Can you at least ask where she is and tell us about it?" Mo Ruolan asked.

"She is fine and she is in a safe place. Don't worry about her. She has gone through even worse situations to let such things affect her badly. She can take care of herself. If we meddle in, she might not like it," Jiang Yang assured.

Both parents didn't look assured as worry about their daughter was more prominent.

"Both of you had dinner?" Jiang Yang asked.

Both nodded and Jiang Yang said again, "Both of you should rest now. Leave her to me. I'll keep in touch with her," Jiang Yang assured again

Once the Jiang couple went to their rooms, Jiang Yang dialed Lu Feng's number.

"They are back home," Jiang Yang informed as he referred to his parents.

"How are they?"

"How do you expect them to be? Of course, they are shocked with the sudden bomb dropped by your brother."

"Now you have started blaming my brother again. He had no other option with the way your sister was going," Lu Feng countered. "And who was the one to provoke my brother during the naming ceremony. Weren't you trying your best so he will explode like a bomb?"

"I was just trying to escalate things to a faster way. Your brother is so easy to provoke. What can I do?"

"It's easy only when it comes to your sister or he knows how to control himself from getting affected."

"Yeah, Mr, elder brother. Stop being an advocate of your younger brother and think about helping him. His real fight will start now as my sister is not gonna give a damn about his feelings."

"That's what worries me."

The next day, Lu Lijun went to the office in the hope that he could see Jiang Yuyan but she was not there.

Seeing silent Lu Lijun, Noah informed, "President Lu is on leave today. Mr Xiao Min had asked us to take care of everything."

Lu Lijun just nodded and focussed on his work. 'Seems like she doesn't want to see me but things can't go like this. If she avoids me, then I'll go to her.'

"What are you thinking about Lijun?" Noah asked.

"Nothing," he replied and acted focused on his work.

"After what you did yesterday, don't think about doing anything in haste. Be patient," Noah suggested.

Lu Lijun only nodded to it, knowing Noah must have known about everything as his elder brother always wanted Noah to keep a check on him.

Jiang Yuyan didn't come to the office and Lu Lijun was getting anxious inside. He wanted to see her and talk to her but all she did was choose to ignore him.

"Lijun, let's go have dinner together," Noah said once they worked beyond working hours.
