Lu Lian held his hand and glared at him, "Stop right there."
"Are you sure? Aren't you cold?" he asked.
"I am not and if I am, I have other ways to deal with it," she countered.
Ming Rusheng smirked as he gazed at her face closely, "But I have the fastest way."
"Ming Rusheng," she glared at him. It was the first time she had called him like this and it surprised him. "I have told you, the day when your memories are back, I'll be the one to climb on you."
"Don't worry, I won't take the opportunity away from you," Saying Ming Rusheng freed his hand from her grip and moved to her trouser's button. "Didn't I warn you to not come in front of me."
Lu Lian understood it was his plan of again scaring her to push her away.
"If you dare touch me then you have to take responsibility," she warned.
He stopped his hand that was at the button of her trouser and he looked at her, "Responsibility."
She nodded, "Once you are done, you need to marry me right away."
"What made you think that I'll marry you for such a minor thing?" he asked as if it really didn't matter to him. "It was not good to leave you unsatisfied last time," he commented.
Lu Lian froze and asked, "You….You remember?"
Ming Rusheng's eyes wavered for a moment but it was just momentary which was difficult for Lu Lian to notice. The corner of his lips curved up as he said, "Ms. Lu though I have injured my brain, it's not difficult for me to remember what we did in the shower just a few days back. I can even remember how many times you have kissed me when I was still a patient. Such a bold woman."
Seeing him determined, Lu Lian spoke, "Didn't you say your services are not free and the woman needs to be your wife?" she asked, staring into his eyes.
"I don't remember saying anything like this," Ming Rusheng.
"If you do it when I am saying no, though I have vowed to never leave you, in my heart I will never forgive you," she said calmly, letting her guards down.
Hearing it, Ming Rusheng stopped and continued looking into her eyes that held something which he couldn't understand but she was just staring at him.
'What is it?' Ming Rusheng thought as he heard her, "Are you going to continue?"
Ming Rusheng couldn't show her he was affected and she had managed to shake his emotions. His hands which first aimed at her trouser, moved up only to hold her and kiss her passionately. This was the only way he could stop her from seeing through him.
In a while he let her go and said while calming himself down, "I think you are warm enough now and this does not count into me taking responsibility for it."
Lu Lian, who was left breathless, nodded to it. She herself wanted it more but she was determined to wait till his memories returned.
Just then there was a knock on the door, and they heard Ming Rusheng's assistant, "Boss, eldest Ming is here."
"Grandpa?" Lu Lian said feeling flustered while Ming Rusheng was normal. He straightened his suit and said, "Come out when you are fine. Don't try to hide here because grandpa won't be leaving anytime soon."
Before Ming Rusheng could open the door to leave, Lu Lian stopped him by holding his hand. Just as he looked at her, with her delicate fingers, she wiped those almost invisible traces of her lip gloss from his lips. Mung Rusheng let her do it as he stared at her adorable face. He almost had an urge to start what he had stopped but his assistant called for him again.
"Mr. Ming, are you there?"
Lu Lian stopped and signaled him to leave while she needed some time to calm herself down. She went to the bathroom inside the lounge and corrected her appearance; her hair looked a little messy as Ming Rusheng caressed the back of her head when he was kissing her. She straightened up her dress and took a deep breath. She was ready to go out.
Elder Ming was talking to Ming Rusheng when he saw Lu Lian coming out of the lounge.
It surprised elder Ming seeing Lu Lian coming out of the lounge but after that, he felt glad thinking that things are getting better between these two. Though his grandson couldn't remember her, in the end, she was the only one who was allowed to be around him.
"Good afternoon grandpa," she greeted.
Elder Ming greeted back and asked, "Is he troubling you? If so…."
"I was helping her get warm after she was feeling cold," Ming Rusheng interrupted his grandpa.
Lu Lian's face turned red and she heard elder Ming saying to Ming Rusheng, "Good. A man should always take care of his woman."
'Why is my life full of blatant people around me?' Is what Lu Lian could think and said, "G-Grandpa, I have important work to do. I'll see you later."
Elder Ming didn't stop the embarrassed girl and nodded in agreement.

Jiang Yuyan returned late back to her home. The butler welcomed her and she asked, "Did he have dinner?"
"No, Young Mistress," the butler replied.
"Why?" Jiang Yuyan asked.
"Fourth Young Master said he was not hungry," The butler replied as he added, "He didn't even have a proper lunch. He ate a little."
Jiang Yuyan listened to it and instructed, "Get the dinner for him," and left to go upstairs.
She knocked on the door and entered the room. She saw Lu Lijun was standing by the huge floor-to-ceiling window while staring outside blankly. She could see his face from the side and she was sure he was deeply thinking about something.. It reminded her of Lu Qiang as he somewhat reflected his brother in his serious situation.
