Chapter 78 I Knew It Already!!

For Lu Qiang, being able to be with her at that moment and being able to see her, touch her, feel her was enough. During their dance, there were moments, when he suppressed his desire to kiss after being so close to her. Her sweet smell, her soft touch, her being close to him was making it impossible to hold back but he somehow controlled it.

Lu Qiang got the opportunity to kiss her in that shade and he didn't want to let go of this chance. For him, it was the first time too, when he was kissing someone.

His first kiss and that with the woman he loved all these years, even when he didn't see her. His first love, his first kiss and his every first thing belonged to only her and even she belonged to only him.

Somewhere in his heart, he felt that she liked him and that was the reason he never stopped himself from going close to her.

When they were at her place, he wanted to kiss her, but he wanted to do it only if she agreed to it. Her willingness to kiss him and the way she responded back was the overwhelming thing for him, but he didn't expect those things to turn out like that and his actions could hurt her.

He didn't know what to do further so he decided to leave it to the time.

After spending his time while thinking about all the things from the past and present, he dressed up in his office attire. He wore a grey suit.

That day in the office, it was the first time ever that he couldn't concentrate on his work.

During the meeting, he was just listening to everything silently, but didn't respond to anything and asked everyone to decide what is good by themselves and to do whatever they felt right.

He left the meeting and asked assistant Xiao Min to clear his schedule for the day. After that, he went to the lounge and spent his whole day inside.

Xiao Min was worried to see his boss like this. He could guess something might have happened to him but he didn't dare to ask after watching his serious face. He just followed his order and did what he had said.

Lu Qiang spent his whole day being locked up in the lounge. Xiao Min saw him only when he went to ask him for a lunch and delivered it in his room. He saw, Lu Qiang was standing in front of a glass window and staring outside.

Xiao Min didn't disturb him. He just put the lunch on a table and informed him about it then left.

In the evening, when Xiao Min went to the lounge he saw, Lu Qiang was lying down on a couch with his one arm over his forehead which covered his eyes. The lunch he brought for him was on the table, untouched. Xiao Min never saw him like this, not even in the worst time of his life when his father was in the hospital. Even at such time, Lu Qiang stood strong and faced everything.

Xiao Min was the son of Lu Jinhai's assistant Xiao Dong. He knew Lu Qiang since his childhood. He was raised to be the assistant of Lu Qiang by his father. Xiao Dong was among the most loyal people of Lu Jinhai and he wanted his son to be like him with Lu Qiang.

Xiao Min was a bright student and he prepared himself to assist Lu Qiang since long time ago. Lu Qiang treated him like a friend, but Xiao Min never crossed his line and always respect him as his boss.

After watching Lu Qiang like this, he felt sad. He woke him up to inform him that office hours were over. He called him, "Boss! Office hours are over". Then he waited for Lu Qiang's reply.

Lu Qiang opened his eyes and got up. He didn't say anything, just got up and picked up his suit's jacket and car keys then left from the office. The driver was waiting for him, but he drove the car himself and left for home. After driving for 20 minutes he realised that he was not driving on the way to the Lu Mansion, instead, he was driving towards Jiang Residence. He stopped the car on the sideway, sat in the car for two minutes and then turned the car around to go back to the Lu Mansion.

When he reached home, Elder Lu was in the living room. He saw Lu Qiang and called him.

When Lu Qiang sat on the sofa then Elder Lu reminded "Jiang Yuyan is going to live here in the Lu Mansion and we have to arrange everything for her properly, so that she won't feel uncomfortable here".

Lu Qiang looked at his grandpa with a serious expression and said, "She is going to stay at university dormitory not in Lu Mansion".

Elder Lu was surprised to listen these words from Lu Qiang and asked in a high voice, "What are you saying? I had promised Jiang Peizhi that we will take care of her".

Lu Qiang pinched the space between his eyebrows and said, "She has a right to decide for herself".

Elder Lu got up from the sofa and commanded him, "Follow me".

Lu Qiang stood up and followed his grandpa to the Mansion's garden.

They both reached inside the patio then Elder Lu started to talk while looking straight into Lu Qiang's eyes "Don't you want her to stay at Lu Mansion?"

Lu Qiang was quite startled with this unexpected question, he calmly replied, "I want her to stay here but we should respect her choice".

Elder Lu turned around and looked at the pond and said, "From what I saw in the party, I guess you would be happy to be around her".

Lu Qiang didn't expect to hear these words from his grandpa. He just kept staring at him, then Elder Lu said again, "The great president of Lu corporation, who never ever spared a glance to any women, was not able to avert his sight from this girl for a single moment and not only that, he even asked her for a dance. How should I look at it?"

Lu Qiang just stayed still. He didn't know what to say. "Grandpa..that..I鈥?"

Grandpa Lu turned to look at Lu Qiang and completed his sentence, "You like her!"

Lu Qiang shook his head and said, "Hmm! I love her."

Elder Lu replied with a pleasant smile on his face, "I already knew it".
