Jiang Yuyan felt terrible for what intention she had come to Lu Feng. She would hurt this good man, and he will hate her forever. She didn't worry about being hated by him, but she was worried about how much it will hurt him when she would make him guilty for the thing he never wished to do.
She knew it was needed for his better life, and she had to do it as he left her with no other choice, only if he hadn't avoided her and had listened to her at least once.
Jiang Yuyan hugged him back and patted him. "It's late. We should go to bed."
"We?" he asked.
"Hmm!"
Lu Feng let her go, and Jiang Yuyan helped him walk towards his bedroom and then towards the bed. Helping him climb the bed, she let him rest and moved towards his long heavy legs, hanging out of the bed. Taking off his shoes, she shifted his legs in bed and arranged a pillow below his head to rest his head comfortably.
Just as she moved away after setting the pillow, Lu Feng pulled her back to make her land on his chest, "You said, we." His sight was full of the need of her.
"Hmm!"
Circling his hand around her waist and one hand fixing her loosened hair strands behind her ears, he spoke while staring into her eyes. "I love you, Yuyan."
Taking support of her hands while resting them on his chest to balance herself, she listened to what he said.
"Hmm!" she had nothing more to say.
Continuing staring at her, he questioned, "Can't you reciprocate my love even once at least in my dream?"
He left her speechless as she couldn't say those three words to him, and instead, she did something else. Leaning closer, she pecked on his cheek, and he smiled as tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes, it was hard to guess what those tears meant, was he happy or sad.
The next day Lu Feng woke up at noon with his head hurting badly. He continued lying down, trying to clear his vision and his mind. He could remember the previous night's glimpses when Jiang Yuyan was with him, but for him, it was his dream which he usually had in his drunken state.
Trying to turn to his one side, Lu Feng realized something was off; his clothes had gone. Feeling shocked, he checked under the quilt, and he was naked. It was the second time it happened to him. The first time was when Jiang Yang pulled the prank on him.
Thinking it was Jiang Yang again, he looked at the other side of the bed, but no one was there, and he was sure he was inside his own home.
'Who brought me here and why I am like this?' These were the questions that came to his mind.
Lu Feng sat up in the bed as he rested at the headboard. His sight followed the clothes that were lying on the floor, and those belonged to him. 'Did I do it myself?' he thought, but the next moment his sight followed to one piece of cloth that didn't belong to him.
Staring at it, he was about to get out of the bed, but his hand felt something in bed, something thin and made of metal. He pulled his hand out of the quilt and looked at the thing he found.
It was the chain and the pendant that was familiar to him. The chain was broken and looked like someone pulled it with force, but that was not the issue. The shocking thing was it belonged to Jiang Yuyan. It was the one she always wore because Lu Qiang had gifted her on her last birthday with him.
'What is this doing here?' he questioned himself.
Line of sweat covered his face as the realization hit him, and he looked back at the unknown peace of cloth that was accompanying his clothes on the floor. Holding the quilt around him, Lu Feng stepped out of bed and picked up the cloth. It was a black suit jacket that belonged to a woman.
Lu Feng found this jacket familiar and remembered it belonged to Jiang Yuyan too. When he checked the brand, he was sure of it because that brand belonged to An Tian and had a unique mark on it that meant for Lu Qiang's clothes only, which had been passed to Jiang Yuyan's clothes too.
Though his head was hurting and felt chaotic, this sudden shock was too much for him to make him sober. He remembered the moments that he thought those were the dreams, but now he was sure it was the reality. He remembered till the moment he was in bed with Jiang Yuyan, but after that, everything blacked out.
Sitting at the edge of the bed as if something terrible had happened, he put on his clothes and went out of the room to search for Jiang Yuyan, but she was not there.
Lu Feng dialed her contact number, but she didn't pick it up. Feeling frustrated, Lu Feng dialed San Zemin's number as he remembered he met San Zemin the previous night.
The moment San Zemin picked up the call, Lu Feng asked, "Was your boss with me the previous night?"
"Yes?"
"Are you sure, San Zemin?" He asked, his tone angry.
"Yes, she was the one to take you back home from the pub," San Zemin confirmed.
"Then?"
"I don't know because she took you back alone," San Zemin informed.
"Until when she was here?"
"Till morning," San Zemin replied.
"I don't believe you," Lu Feng exclaimed as he didn't want to accept this fact.
"I was the one to pick her up from your apartment the early morning," San Zemin replied.
"Where is she?"
"In the office," San Zemin replied, and Lu Feng hung up the call.
He freshened up and got ready in a fresh set of clothes as he was in a hurry to go to Jiang Yuyan to get the answers to his questions from her.
