Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband
chapter-155

Lu Qiang took Jiang Yuyan out of the bathroom while carrying in his arms while wrapped in a towel. He let her sit on the edge of the bed. He walked towards the wardrobe and pulled out two sets of pajamas for both of them. Both put on their clothes and climbed into the bed. Lu Qiang pulled quilt on them and lied down beside her.

Lu Qiang turned on his right side to look at her and said, "I was planning to make you feel, what I had just felt moments before in bathroom but I think this much is enough for you for tonight."

Jiang Yuyan too turned on her left side to look at him. Upon hearing what he said, she nodded and replied, "I know what you mean but I am not ready for it yet."

Lu Qiang moved closer to her, hugged her and said, "I know. I can understand." He kissed on her forehead and both fell asleep while being in each other's warm embrace.

Few hours passed by and it was a midnight. Lu Qiang heard a sound of crying and sobbing, in his sleep. He opened his eyes and looked at his right side just too see the back of Jiang Yuyan. She was sleeping while facing her back towards him with her legs folded up towards her stomach and her arms circling around her chest.

Lu Qiang realized she was crying. He immediately sat up in a bed and moved towards Jiang Yuyan. He placed his hand on her shoulder lightly and called her name, "Yuyan!"

Upon hearing her name, Jiang Yuyan turned to look at him. When she saw him, she sat up and hugged him while burying her face in his chest and started to cry and sob even more loudly.

Lu Qiang too hugged her back and let her cry as much as she wanted. Jiang Yuyan cried for long. Once she calmed down, Lu Qiang held her face in his hands and asked while wiping her tears with his thumbs, "What happened?"

Jiang Yuyan was unable to answer it as she was still sobbing and when Lu Qiang asked her this question, she started to cry again. Lu Qiang suddenly noticed, her clothes were drenched in a sweat. He observed her carefully and asked in calmly, "Nightmare?"

Jiang Yuyan nodded and hugged him again to bury her face in his chest. Lu Qiang patted her head and let her be like it for a while. "Let me get you water first," he said it and got off from the bed to fetch water for her.

Lu Qiang passed her a glass of water and sat beside her on the edge of the bed. Jiang Yuyan drank water slowly as she felt choked in her throat because of continuous crying and kept quiet while looking at the floor. Lu Qiang took that glass and put it on bedside table.

Lu Qiang asked while looking at her, "Are you feeling better?" Jiang Yuyan nodded again. "Do you want to tell me about it? But only if you are comfortable."

Jiang Yuyan nodded and said after clearing her throat, "I want to."

Lu Qiang heard her and became tensed. He was ready and wanted to hear her past but when the moment came he felt worried to think, what it might be that shook his woman completely like this and changed her life.

Lu Qiang was just looking at her and saw she was in deep thoughts. "I think you should get fresh first, you will feel better, then we can talk about it. Jiang Yuyan said, "Okay!" and went to bathroom to freshen up.

Jiang Yuyan washed her face and calmed herself down. While looking into the mirror blankly, she thought about Lu Qiang. She was worried. She knew her past will hurt him, as he loved her too much and couldn't bear to see her hurt. Knowing the truth was important for him, but at the same time it was hurtful for him to know it too.

Jiang Yuyan remembered the incidence, her brother told her, when Lu Qiang made himself drunk and what was the reason for that. He was hurt just because he couldn't be with her when she was suffering. Knowing that truth, which made his woman suffer was something he might not handle or he might do something that he should not. But, this time she decided to tell him everything.

Jiang Yuyan came out of the bathroom. Lu Qiang stepped towards her and said while holding her hand, "Lets go to gallery. We can get some fresh air and you will feel better too." both went to gallery, Lu Qiang arranged two chairs for them to sit.

Jiang Yuyan didn't sit, instead she stood near the railing, feeling the cold breeze passing by touching her face and was looking at the sky. Lu Qiang too stood beside her while looking at the sky, where she was looking at but he didn't ask her anything.

After a while, Jiang Yuyan spoke finally to break the silence around them. "When I went to USA, I missed all of you very much. I never wanted to go there but I had too."

Lu Qiang was aware of it and said, "I know!"

Jiang Yuyan continued, still looking at the sky, "When I went there, I was alone. Different language, different people, different place. I had a problem to adjust in that new world."

Lu Qiang let her continue what she was about to say and didn't disturb her. He just kept humming whenever she paused for response from him. Both were talking while looking ahead towards sky facing in same direction. Lu Qiang once turned his to look at her and she looked lost in her own thoughts like she was remembering all those things again.

"To make me familiar with the people, my parents admitted me to one camp for kids, as it was vacation period over there. That camp had various activities for kids and I was enjoying a bit, but because of language barrier I couldn't mix up with those kids much."

"Hmmm!"
