Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband
chapter-195

When Lu Qiang and Zhi Ruo reached Lu Qiang's car outside of Lu mansion's door, the driver opened the back passenger seat door for him but Lu Qiang straight strode towards the driver seat door, opened it and sat on the driver seat. The driver understood, Lu Qiang was going to drive by himself so he moved away from the car. Zhi Ruo sat in the front passenger seat and Lu Qiang drove away.

After sometime when Jiang Yuyan and the other three came out from the mansion, they saw, Lu Qiang's driver was talking with the servant in the mansion. They were surprised to see the driver so, Lu Feng went to him and asked, "Why are you here, where is Lu Qiang?"

"President Lu took the car and went out, driving by himself." Driver answered.

Upon hearing it, Lu Feng and Jiang Yang didn't know what to say and just looked at Jiang Yuyan. She averted her sight from them and said, "Let's go. We are getting late."

Jiang Yang asked her to sit in his car and said, "I will drop you today." Jiang Yang knew she was not showing it on her face but she was hurt so he preferred to be with her to make her feel better. Even though it won't be that effective on what she was feeling at that moment but he didn't feel right to leave her alone and go back. He was feeling sad too, to see her like this but he was sure that they both can handle this matter and wanted to trust Lu Qiang.

In Lu Qiang's car..

"Finally, there is someone who could melt this iceberg," Zhi Ruo said with teasing smile on her face.

"Huh?"

"Don't 'Huh?' me. For me, you are not a president Lu, whom everyone is scared of. For me, you are just a Lu Qiang and I am not scared of you."

Lu Qiang still didn't say anything and continued driving. She continued, "I can see the way you look at her and it's too easy to guess, you like her."

"Correction" Suddenly Lu Qiang spoke.

"What?" Zhi Ruo asked curiously.

Lu Qiang replied with a firm voice, "I love her." Finally, he said something that Zhi Ruo wanted to hear. She asked, "Then why did both of you fought? Was it because of me? Didn't you tell her everything?"

The way Lu Qiang behaved since breakfast time and to look at silent Jiang Yuyan, it was not hard for Zhi Ruo to guess that they fought.

Lu Qiang sighed and said, "Women and their mood swings."

Upon hearing the word mood swings, Zhi Ruo asked excitedly, "Tell me what happened or I won't help you with what you are using me for."

"You are thinking too much." Lu Qiang replied coldly while focusing on the driving.

"Weren't you trying to use me to make her feel jealous? really?" She asked but got no reply. "Okay! Next time if you call me in front of her, I won't listen to you" Zhi Ruo spoke again and looked out of the car window while pouting.

Lu Qiang didn't say anything and continued driving. Upon not getting any response from him even if she acted upset, she said, "Okay, don't tell me, but don't expect any help too."

Lu Qiang finally spoke and narrated what happened between them.

"Haha! So you think she fought because of mood swings. The way I can understand and see the things, it's more of jealousy and the bitter words of my aunt." She replied after listening to him and remembering all the things happened since she entered the mansion.

"I know, it was hard for her but I just wanted her to listen, what I wanted to say. If she had listened to me, things would have been easy instead of being like this," he replied.

Zhi Ruo sighed and said, "Men and their ability to not understand women."

"What do you mean?" Lu Qiang asked as he always thought, he can understand Jiang Yuyan.

"Just try to put yourself in her shoes Lu Qiang. She is already feeling weak and cranky and when it was time for her to come home and rest, she had to face her rival in love and she had to hear the bitter word of aunt Su Hui." Zhi Ruo thought about all the possibilities that Jiang Yuyan had to face last night.

Lu Qiang nodded as agreeing to what Zhi Ruo said. "I know this Zhi Ruo that's why I went to her, to console her and to explain the things but things took a different turn."

Other than his two childhood best friends, Lu Qiang never opened his heart to anyone but he was talking to Zhi Ruo without holding himself back. It was not like he was not able to understand Jiang Yuyan but sometimes a person needs someone who can make him realize the fact.

"It's not that easy Lu Qiang. She was hurt and what you did just now hurt her even more. Aunt Su Hui asked her to empty her room. If I was her, I wouldn't be able to take that insult and I would have said, 'Hey old lady shut your mouth' and you know, I can do it, right?" she said while feeling bad about what Su Hui did with Jiang Yuyan and as it was her first day in mansion, she preferred to not talk.

I know she was hurt but jealousy? There was no point in that as she knows, I only love her." he spoke again.

"Jealousy is another side of love. She loves you a lot that's why she is jealous too and also, she was hurt so you were the only person she could take it out on. As simple as that." Zhi Ruo was trying her best to let him understand the situation of Jiang Yuyan.

"Hmmm!" Lu Qiang nodded in agreement and Zhi Ruo asked again, "Haven't you ever felt jealous to see another man near her?"

Lu Qiang suddenly remembered the incident when Ming Rusheng offered Jiang Yuyan to drop her to Lu Mansion and that night in a fit of anger, he kissed her roughly and even warned her too. Then he understood what Zhi Ruo was trying to say.

"Hmm! I know but if the things turned out this way so I want to use them to turn into something better," he said after thinking about something.

"And what's that?" She asked curiously

"Confession of her feelings towards me so that, next time she won't be able to deny it." He replied with a mischievous smile on his face.

Lu Qiang and Zhi Ruo shared a good relationship as friends with each other when she was working under Lu Qiang. As usual, Lu Qiang was cold to her in the beginning but soon he realized, Zhi Ruo was not like other girls who tried to get closer to him by using their families. She was one free spirit who loved to enjoy all the things in life. She was a talented and hardworking girl who never used the power of her father for her own benefit. Soon she became friendly with Lu Qiang and worked with him. Even if she met him after a few years, Zhi Ruo was the same, talkative and lively person.
