Chapter 77 My Innocent YuYan!!

When Jiang family left from China, Lu Qiang was in a contact with them. He and Lu Feng used to talk to their friends almost daily. After few months of their departure, it was the 16th birthday of Lu Qiang, so he had received a gift from the USA which was sent by Jiang siblings..

With few expensive gifts, there was one soccer ball keychain which was sent by Jiang Yuyan. She wrote his name on it and wished him luck, as Lu Qiang's dream was to become a soccer player. All the gifts were gone with time but he always kept that keychain with him.

Just after few days of his birthday, it was Jiang Yuyan's 11th birthday as both shared their birthdays in the same month. On her birthday, he called her but he couldn't reach. Even, he tried for several days after that, but still, nobody ever replied. She also never called him back.

Once, Jiang Yang called him and mention that 'Jiang YuYan is not well and won't be able to talk to him'. Jiang Yang didn't give any reason and cut the call in hurry. After that, Jiang Yang also never called him or even answered his calls.

Lu Qiang was worried and decided to go to the USA to meet them but he couldn't, as his father, Lu Jinhai, had an accident and he was in a critical condition. That accident was the biggest disaster for entire Lu family and Lu corporation. In such a situation, Lu Qiang had to take all the responsibilities in his hands, as he was the elder son of Lu Jinhai, the Chairman of Lu corporation.

Since that day, Lu Qiang had to involve himself in the company matters and he couldn't get the time to think about others. He had to give up on his dream to become a soccer player and had to follow his father's path. He also lost contact with these friends, but whenever he had free time, he used to think about Jiang Yuyan.

After one and a half year, Lu Jinhai got better. He asked Lu Qiang to complete his studies and he got admission in a university. While studying, he supported his father in business as well, as Lu Jinhai was not well that much because of the serious injury on his head and doctor asked him not to stress out on his brain.

During that period, Lu Qiang decided to go to the USA to meet Jiang Yuyan, as he wasn't able to contact her, but his father stopped him and said, "Don't call her or meet her until she contacts back to you".

Lu Jinhai knew, his smart son would use his sources to get information about her, as he couldn't go there personally, so he stopped Lu Qiang from doing that too, by saying, "And don't use your sources to get information about her. I know that you are the powerful person now, so you can do that but, if it's their decision not to contact anyone and hide, then you should respect it".

Lu Jinhai didn't give any reason to him, just asked him to trust and follow his words. Lu Qiang knew, his father never said anything without a reason so he decided to listen to him and never tried to contact her again.

After more than 8 years, when Lu Qiang saw Jiang YuYan on New York's airport for the first time. He was too shocked to see her again. He recognised her in a single glance. He always thought that she would come back one day, but he never thought he would meet her like this, even after not being able to be in contact with her for so many years.

Lu Qiang knew, she was coming back to China, as his father had informed him before, that her family was coming for his grandparent's wedding anniversary. He was expecting to meet her at the party, but to meet her at the airport in such a funny way, was really unexpected to him.

When Lu Qiang saw her, he couldn't even say a single word and just kept staring at her. He couldn't believe his eyes. Her startled face, the way she looked at him with her starry eyes, the way she got angry when she saw her spilt coffee and the way she scolded him, all this was for only few moments, but to him every single moment was very precious.

Lu Qiang felt short for words and didn't know what to say at that moment, but from her reaction, he was sure that she didn't recognise him. He was too happy and overwhelmed with the thought of seeing her again that he needed to collect himself and his heart first, so he simply prefered to leave from there.

In the plane, it was just a coincidence that she sat on the seat in front of him, so he got a chance to listen to her. He was smiling, when he saw her childish behaviour with her brother and he thought that she was still the same, his 'Innocent YuYan'.

During that journey in the plane, he kept remembering all the memories from the past and he was smiling pleasantly.

Next time, when he met her in the restaurant, that was an unexpected moment again for him. They accidentally kissed. On looking at her startled face, her scared kittened like eyes and her apologetic reaction, he couldn't help but tease her.

Lu Qiang never behaved like this with anyone before, but he even didn't know why he liked to tease her. The way she reacted whenever he teased her, he found it cute and the most beautiful sight to see. He liked to do it again and again. Whenever they met he never forgot to tease her.

In the party, when Lu Qiang saw her, he found her the most beautiful girl ever. He couldn't avert his sight from her. She looked beautiful, innocent and pure.

Once again, he got to see her shocked face, when she got to know he was Lu Qiang. He was enjoying it. He wanted to be with her, talk to her and go close to her and he got this opportunity when he got the chance to dance with her.

When she accepted to dance with him, he immediately wanted to hug her tightly and wanted to say that he missed her all these years. He wanted to hold her in his embrace and stay there just like that but he couldn't. He wanted to give her time as the things were not same after so many years.
