Lu Lijun and Jiang Yuyan continued kissing passionately for long, forgetting all their inhibitions until both had turned breathless. The two stood close as their breaths mingled with each other and gasped to make up for the loss of air.
Lu Lijun opened his eyes and looked at the woman in his embrace who was panting heavily with her eyes closed as if he had sucked all the air out of her lungs.
"I am giving you the last chance to leave. If you won't then I won't stop anymore," Lu Lijun warned in a low and husky voice.
Hearing it, the realization hit her and Jiang Yuyan opened her eyes in shock as if she was not aware of what she was doing till now. She looked at Lu Lijun whose pitch-black eyes were staring at her closely.
Jiang Yuyan immediately moved back, getting out of his hold which Lu Lijun had loosened upon seeing how shocked she was. It was clear that she had just lost her senses for a while but she didn't wish to do anything with him.
Jiang Yuyan took a step away from him, as so many things went in her mind. First, it was the shocking realization to herself that she had given in to him. How can she do this?
Lu Lijun observed her reaction and said calmly, "Leave!"
It pulled Jiang Yuyan out of the messed-up thoughts and she hurried to leave the room, not even looking at him even once.
Once she left, Lu Lijun sat at the edge of the bed with his head lowered and not knowing what to do now. He was sure either Jiang Yuyan would return to him or she would go away from him. Everything looked like it had come to an end as more chances were Jiang Yuyan would just leave him.
-----
Jiang Yuyan came out of the room and hurried to leave that corridor but heard someone. "Boss!"
Jiang Yuyan turned as she recognized the voice and said, "Xiao Min, get me the car."
To Xiao Min, his boss didn't look good at all as her condition looked messed up. Not asking anything, he said, "Come with me," and sent a message on his cellphone. Both reached the back exit of the hotel where San Zemin was ready with a car and Jiang Yuyan sat inside.
Before Xiao Min could sit inside the car, Jiang Yuyan spoke, "Xiao Min, go back to the room from where I came out. Take care of Lu Lijun."
It tensed Xiao Min and San Zemin. Though both never showed it, they were aware of what was going on between their boss and Lu Lijun. They knew their boss would never accept anyone and concluded that Lu Lijun must be troubling her.
Nodding Xiao Min left while San Zemin drove to Jiang Yuyan's home as he was sure whenever something happened, his boss preferred to return to her home.

Meanwhile, Ming Rusheng was searching for Lu Lian who was nowhere to be seen. She had gone to her grandfather and after that, no one knew where she had gone. Even Lu Bao and Ming Lan didn't know about her whereabouts.
Lu Feng finally came to him, "Let me try." He pulled out the cell phone and called someone. Soon he got the message and forwarded it to an anxious Ming Rusheng. I have sent you her location. Don't worry much. My sister is not weak. She is just a little shocked."
Ming Rusheng nodded and left as he went through his cellphone to check her location. She was driving and going somewhere. Looking in the direction where her car was moving, Ming Rusheng understood where she was going and immediately got into his car to follow her. He had called her so many times but she didn't answer his call even once.
Ming Rusheng stopped calling her and only drove away to follow her and catch up with her as soon as possible. Because of the snowfall, roads won't be that safe and the way she was going, it was even dangerous to drive that way.
Though he was driving, his focus was still on Lu Lian's current location. After driving for a long time, Ming Rusheng saw her car had stopped and she had reached her destination. He gave out a sigh of relief and continued to drive to reach there.
Soon Ming Rusheng reached the place where the guard, covered head to toe in heavy winter clothes and carrying an umbrella to protect himself from the mild snowfall, greeted him and said, "Mr. Wong is not home."
"It's fine. Where is Ms. Lu?" Ming Rusheng asked as he looked at Lu Lian's car that was parked in the parking area.
"I saw Ms. Lu Going in that direction," the guard pointed towards the garden area inside the premises of Mr. Wong's home.
Ming Rusheng hurried towards the garden and soon found a woman he was looking for. She was silently sitting on one wooden bench under the tree.
Ming Rusheng felt like he could finally breathe and couldn't help but feel happy seeing her. After knowing he remembered everything, she didn't come to confront him but left quietly. If she had fought with him, he would have been fine but seeing her silent like this scared him.
He was not sure if she would talk to him at this moment. Ming Rusheng pulled out his cellphone from his winter coat's pocket and typed something on it.
The next moment Lu Lian's cell phone beeped. Finally, that silent-looking woman moved and pulled out her cell phone. She had received the message from Ming Rusheng. Contemplating over whether she should read it, she finally clicked on the message and read it.
[If you were in front of me at this moment, this is what I would want to say to you]
Below the message, there was a song. She clicked on it and then heard the song playing. Each word from the song was what Ming Rusheng wanted to say to her. (Note- Song by Chris Doran- "Nothing's gonna change my love for you")
[If I had to live my life without you near me]
[The days would all be empty]
[The nights would seem so long]
[With you I see forever, oh, so clearly]
[I might have been in love before]
[But it never felt this strong]
[Our dreams are young and we both know]
[They'll take us where we want to go]
[Hold me now, touch me now]
[I don't want to live without you]
[Nothing's gonna change my love for you]
[You oughta know by now how much I love you]
[One thing you can be sure of]
[I'll never ask for more than your love]....
While listening to each word from the song, tears rolled down from Lu Lian's eyes which she had been stopping for a long time.
Ming Rusheng couldn't stop himself and took steps closer to her. The only thing he wished to do was to hug her tightly and console her.
From the corner of her eyes, Lu Lian noticed a pair of legs slowly stepping towards her. She looked at the person who stopped the moment their eyes met. Seeing him, Lu Lian stood up as she put the cellphone aside and the song continued to play on it.
Ming Rusheng whose eyes had already turned moist seeing the woman he loved crying, could not hold back and stepped ahead only to get her in his embrace and hugged her tightly. Lu Lian hugged him back as she continued to cry silently.
The snow continued to fall slowly while the song from the music was still playing. Ming Rusheng loosened his hold around her and looked at her only to kiss her. He had been holding back for a long time but not anymore now. He kissed her and Lu Lian kissed him back as so many emotions exploded in their minds at the same time. But the strongest emotion of all was the love they had for each other in their hearts.
