Lu Feng sighed, "You first sit here calmly."

Seeing his brother a little hesitant, he insisted, "What is it, brother? Is there something that I am not aware of?"

"Hmm, there are a few things that you don't know. One you got to know about yesterday and one I'll tell you today," Lu Feng replied.

Lu Lijun went to the sofa and sat opposite his brother and he was ready to know everything.

"When Yuyan went to the USA, something happened with her when she was just eleven years old," Lu Feng started.

"Something?" Lu Lijun's heart started to sink seeing the two men next to him so serious. Moreover, it was about her and knowing something had hurt would only give him pain. "W-What is it?"

Lu Feng narrated to him the entire incident that he got to know from Jiang Yang.

With each word from his brother, Lu Lijun felt he could feel every bit of that pain that Jiang Yuyan went through. He didn't know what to do and how to react as he only sat there frozen with his fists clenched together.

Seeing him silent, Lu Feng called him, "Lu Lijun."

Lu Lijun breathed deeply to lessen the heaviness he was feeling in his chest and asked, "Was elder brother aware of it?"

"Hmm," Lu Feng nodded, "He was the one to bring her out of that trauma and made her capable of living a normal life."

"It was not easy for him," Jiang Yang finally spoke. "Most important thing he did was to be patient with her and never give up on her."

Jiang Yang told him about what Lu Qiang went through and how he handled her. How traumatized his sister was and how she came out of it but only for Lu Qiang.

"Other than Lu Qiang, no one is allowed. That is why I said she can not marry Alex. If she had taken that decision, there would be no happiness for her. She can't think about anyone ever."

"Now I know why she can't accept me," Lu Lijun mumbled.

"You are different Lu Lijun…" Jiang Yang spoke but he got interrupted by Lu Lijun, "How am I different. Other than my brother she can not accept anyone. She feels traumatized. Why did no one of you ever tell me? Do you know what I did with her till now? Now I know why she is running away from me. It's…it's all my fault for forcing myself on her again and again and she had no other option."

"It's not what you are thinking, Lu Lijun. The reason we told you about her past is only to make it clear to you that she didn't accept Alex out of her happiness. But you are different. She accepts you…"

"No she doesn't…." he exclaimed feeling guilty about all of his actions. He had so many 'whys' in his mind that why he was not aware of it and why he treated her like that.

"If I had known, I would not have crossed her line of closeness."

"Lu Lijun, you are going in the wrong direction now," Jiang Yang said.

Lu Lijun didn't reply to him and sat there with his face buried in his palms as his eyes turned moist remembering what happened to her in the past, what she had to endure all her life and how he treated her.

"Lu Lijun, Lu Qiang was the same as you when he got to know it," Lu Feng said, "Regretting over it is not the solution but we are asking you to not give up on her."

"I don't know about myself but I can't let her sacrifice herself because of me," he said and stood up.

"What? Where are you going?" Lu Feng asked.

"To stop any more damage," he answered and stepped towards the door.

"Lu Lijun," Jiang Yang called.

Lu Lijun stopped at the door and Jiang Yang spoke, "I don't what you have in your mind but remember other than Lu Qiang my sister can accept only you. She is not running away from you but she is running away from the feelings she has developed for you. It's not easy for her to accept."

Lu Lijun didn't reply and left.

"What do you think he will do?" Jiang Yang asked.

"Something that is good for both of them," Lu Feng replied.

With his mind full of regrets, Lu Lijun drove toward Jiang Yuyan's home. As usual, no one stopped him from entering the home.

It was later and Lu Lijun thought Jiang Yuyan must be resting or sleeping but he needed to see her. Even if he could not talk, seeing her was important to him to make sure she was fine.

Just as he climbed the stairs to go to her floor, the butler crossed the path with him who was going downstairs.

"Fourth Young Master," the butler bowed.

Not replying, Lu Lijun walked ahead only to hear the butler again, "Youg mistress is in the balcony upstairs.

Lu Lijun went to the second floor which had a huge gallery. Lu Lijun reached there and saw Jiang Yuyan standing by the railing as she looked at the sky. It was later but instead of sleeping, she was here.

Little did Lu Lijun know it was not only a balcony but a place where Jiang Yuyan had precious memories with Lu Qiang. It was the place where she and Lu Jiang celebrated her birthday and it was instead their first day. It was also the place where Lu Qiang told her how he felt about her and confessed his feelings. Those lovely moments from her past were all buried here as memories.

Lu Lijun could only look at her back he didn't wish to break that peace around her. She looked lonely and distant to her. This distance he never felt even when he was away from her but now he looked like he could never cover it.

As if Jiang Yuyan sensed his presence around her, she turned around and saw Lu Lijun silently standing at the entrance of the balcony as he stared at her.

She gave him a questioning look to ask why he was there so late. Lu Lijun took a step towards her and before both could say a word, he kneeled in front of her.
