"I don't wish for anything, grandpa as I already have whatever I could wish for and the most important thing is, I have Lu Qiang so I don't want anything else," Jiang Yuyan said.

"Hmm! That makes sense, then what should we do?" asking it, elder Lu looked at both of them.

"You can grant Lu Lijun's wish," Jiang Yuyan replied.

"No need grandpa as I did it to make you happy and not for any wish," Lu Lijun denied.

"I know but still one of you has to take it as those were my words and I never get back on my own words, ever. So tell me what you wish for Lu Lijun," Elder Lu asked.

"Grandpa but…" Lu Lijun tried to say something

Jiang Yuyan sensed that he was going to say no again so she interrupted him and said, "It's like grandpa's blessing, Lu Lijun, so accept it. You are lucky that you have such lovely grandpa."

The last thing Lu Lijun could do was saying 'no' to Jiang Yuyan. He didn't know why and when it became like it but just like his brother, he couldn't say no to her and said, "Okay, grandpa."

Elder Lu was happy to hear it and said, "So tell me what you want?"

"Umm! I can't think of anything right now but can I save this wish for the future when I will actually wish for something and only you could give me that?" Lu Lijun asked.

Elder Lu nodded. "Hmm! That can be acceptable. I will save this one wish for the future and you can ask me whatever you want. I will grant it. It's my promise but do it before I die," Saying it elder Lu smiled while Jiang Yuyan and Li Lijun looked unhappy to hear the last line.

"Who is going to die here? I can't see anyone who is about to die."

Suddenly this voice disturbed then and they looked at the source.

"Brother Lu Qiang," Lu Lijun exclaimed with a bright smile on his face. Jiang Yuyan looked at Lu Lijun and noticed how he changed. A moment before he was looking like a mature person and now he was like a spoiled younger brother who loved his elder brother a lot.

She ignored and looked at Lu Qiang as she was happy to see him. When Lu Qiang reached inside the gazebo, Jiang Yuyan asked, "How come you are here at this hour?"

"Today, I thought to have lunch at home with all family members," Lu Qiang replied

Elder Lu laughed to hear it and said, "Haha! He was missing you that's why he is here. There is no such thing as having lunch at home and with family." Elder Lu teased him.

"That is a true, grandpa. Elder brother never came home for lunch once he is in office." Lu Lijun was with his grandpa too.

Jiang Yuyan blushed and didn't say anything. She was happy to see happy so she had nothing to say.

Lu Qiang stood beside Jiang Yuyang and said while circling his hand around her shoulder and asked, "Is it wrong to miss my woman?"

Li Lijun shook his head and elder Lu replied, "It's not wrong. We were just correcting your reason to come home, at this hour."

All smiled to hear it and Lu Qiang asked, "What were you guys doing here?"

"Ohh! There is something interesting for you. Come see." Saying it elder Lu signaled Lu Qiang to look at both wooden stands having a drawing.

Lu Qiang stepped towards the nearest one and that was Jiang Yuyan's drawing. Looking at the drawing he smiled and looked at her. Both didn't say anything and then he stepped at Lu Lijun's stand.

Seeing his work, Lu Qiang was surprised too and asked looking at Lu Lijun, "You made it?"

Lu Lijun nodded. "It's really pretty. I never saw her like this but I can see she will look pretty as usual." Lu Qiang couldn't stop praising.

"This how she will look in the future," Lu Lijun replied.

"That's really nice." saying it Lu Qiang looked at Jiang Yuyan and said, "Looking forward to seeing you like this, a matured woman."

Jiang Yuyan smiled and others nodded as agreeing to Lu Qiang's words. All looked happy while having smiles on their faces, being unaware that what they are wishing for would be on the cost of something really precious. They were going to lose someone dear that will make her a mature woman like in a painting.

"Let's go for lunch," Grandpa Lu said it and all went inside the mansion. Suddenly a windblown and the portrait Lu Lijun drew, was about to be blown away by the strong force of the wind. Lu Lijun didn't secure it properly and it was already loose.

Lu Lijun heard the flapping sound of a sheet and turned to look at it. The moment he saw that the sheet of a portrayed was about to be blown away, he ran back but before he could hold it, the sheet blown away from there and fell into the plants in the pond. Because of those plants, the portrait was saved from falling into the water.

Others too turned to see why he ran back to the gazebo suddenly and saw him trying to catch the portrait.

Giving out a sigh of relief, Lu Lijun looked at the portrait that was caught into the plants in the pond. He felt glad that it didn't fall into the water. Without thinking twice, Lu Lijun crossed the railing of gazebo being ready to jump in the water of the pond. The plants which saved the portrait were in the water and one had to step into the water to get it.

Seeing him ready to get into the water, Jiang Yuyan exclaimed, "Li Lijun, No. Don't get into the water. It's already cold."

Looking at her, Lu Lijun spoke calmly, "Don't worry. It will just take a minute."
