When Zac and Ming Lan headed back to the mansion where they were staying for their honeymoon period. Ming Lan, still shocked by the revelation she had received earlier that day, was staring at the handsome man driving the car on the quiet street in the middle of the night.

Sensing her gaze on him, he spoke, "Are you that happy to know you were the one I loved all these years?"

"Shouldn't I be?" she replied. "I can't believe how silly everything has been and how we missed so many years."

"That's why I am making up for all of it, keeping you awake every single day and night," he replied with a light chuckle.

"If I had known there was one desirable, handsome, and capable man who loves me like crazy, I wouldn't have shed tears thinking no one ever took a liking to me."

Wen Zac raised a brow. "Are you certain there was no one who took a liking to you, being the only daughter of the Ming family?"

"Were there? Other than you?" she asked.

"Guess," he teased.

Ming Lan narrowed her eyes at him. "Don't tell me you did something to drive them away." "Your brother was in on it as well," Zac added, as if it was something to boast about.

She sighed helplessly. "And here all these years, I was thinking I was not likable enough. You two friends are mean."

Zac chuckled. "That was to protect you from the wrong people and to leave you only for me." "Brother Rusheng was so salty with you today that I can't believe he orchestrated things with you, leaving his sister miserable to think not a single man in interested in her."

"No brother can handle his sister being f... I mean, you know, being intimate with another man...."

"Yeah, I can clearly understand it now. More than friends, you two were like mortal enemies just because of me."

"It's just for the show. He is more than happy that you are with me, or he would have beaten me up the day I told him I like you," Wen Zac explained.

Ming Lan realized something, "That's what I wanted to ask. What was my brother's reaction when you told him?"

"Umm... that day, we were drinking together. After a few pegs, all of a sudden, I felt like I should tell him. It was not because he was your brother, but he is my closest friend and I wished to share this important matter with him. When I said that I am in love with someone, he simply asked who, and I told him it's your sister."

"Then?"

"There was a dead silence for about two, three minutes before he finally looked at me and asked, 'Are you serious about this?"" Wen Zac laughed a little, "Of course, I was dead serious, and I told him I intend to marry you. It was not all of a sudden, but I had liked you for a while already. He told me to confess to you and if you agreed, then he had no objection."

"That's it? He agreed?"

"I understand your concern, and you might be fine with the current situation, but it's not the same for others," Lu Jinhai added. "Her parents might not be pleased with this, though they agree for you two to be together. As parents, they might want their daughter to settle with

certainty."

"I understand. I will talk to them once I take control over the things in the company," Lu Lijun replied. "I do plan to marry her, and it will happen soon."

"That's good to know."

There was a knock on the door of the study, and Ning Jiahui entered. She was surprised to see Lu Lijun there. "Here I thought I should ask you to tell your father not to work so late, but it seems both father and son are in it together."

Lu Lijun kept quiet while Lu Jinhai stood up from his chair. "Apologies, Mrs. Lu. I was just about to return."

Ning Jiahui looked at Lu Lijun. "You should sleep early as well. Stop absorbing your father's

bad habits."

"Yes, mother."

Lu Lijun returned to the room where Jiang Yuyan was waiting for him, sitting in the chair. He sat next to her and explained to her what he had discussed with his father. "Father had discussed it with me yesterday, and we agreed on it," she replied. "I will hand over my resignation letter tomorrow," she informed him.

"There's no hurry. In the board meeting, I want you to sit as the existing president of Lu Corporation. Once everything goes smoothly, you can proceed with the resignation."

Jiang Yuyan could only agree and smiled at him. "Finally, the day is here when I wanted to see

you sitting in that chair."

He caressed her hair gently. "Are you that happy?"

She nodded happily. "Lu Qiang and I thought of this day. He would be happy to see his wish

being fulfilled."

"I will fulfill everything that you and my brother have ever wished for."

"I know," she said, and hugged him gently.

She was glad and thankful toward him that he didn't disappoint his family who had put their hopes in him and he had turned out far better than they could even wish for.

She could not wait for him to officially take his brother's place and take charge of everything.
