The airport buzzed with its usual noise as it hummed with the life of people coming and going. A man walked at a leisurely pace as he exited the arrival area. His tall stature and handsome features bore a sharpness that drew people in but also kept them at a distance.Yan Qing Yu breathed in deeply the cold air of the night. City Z bustled with activity despite the late hour. It thrived with life and liveliness that made Yan Qing Yu slightly nostalgic. It has been a long time since he came back here. The City was still the same, but he was not. He has changed. He was no longer that weak brother unable to protect his blood sister. He was no longer that helpless son unable to oppose his father"s drastic decisions.
Yan Qing Yu finally had the capability to correct everything that went wrong in the past.
A hopeful smile graced his attractive lips, his thoughts drifting to a distant memory of little girl.
"Little sis, brother is here. Brother won"t let you be hurt and lonely anymore. Brother won"t let you suffer anymore."
There was a flash of ferociousness in Yan Qing Yu"s eyes as he recalled the harmonious time when their family was just like any other families. Normal. Happy. Yan Qing Shan may not remember it but Yan Qing Yu did. Yan Tian Yu was a dedicated husband and father whose world revolved around his wife and children. Zhao Ming Yue with her ever-gentle smile was the epitome of a mother. Their lives became even more blissful with the addition of Yan Qing Shan. But that bliss was destined to an inevitable end.
It started just as any other nights in their family. Except Yan Tian Yu was running late and Yan Qing Yu"s mother, Zhao Ming Yue received a call for a.s.sistance from him. As expected of any other wife who was worried sick about her husband, Zhao Ming Yue left in a hurry.
"Qing Yu, dear, mom is going to get your dad alright? We"ll be back quickly, so we can have dinner together. You take care of your sister for the mean time. Be a sweet brother. I love you."
Yan Qing Yu could still hear her words spoken in her sweet, pleasant voice ringing clearly in his ears, replaying itself as if it was a broken record. If he had even just an inkling that they would be Zhao Ming Yue"s last words; if he had known that she would never return to them ever again, Yan Qing Yu would have done everything he can to stop her from leaving.
Everything went downhill after that. Yan Qing Yu found himself powerless after that. His beloved sister was taken away by some old man. His aunt suddenly became his stepmother. Yan Qing Yu hated his father, blamed him for the loss of the family he loved. It wasn"t until Yan Qing Yu ran away that Yan Tian Yu was forced to explain to him the circ.u.mstances.
He finally began to understand his father"s action. Though, in some recesses of his mind, Yan Qing Yu thinks that his father could have done it differently. But he couldn"t really blame him. They were both caught up in the situation and felt powerless to change the tides completely.
After that, Yan Qing Yu agreed to his father"s proposal to leave the country. His sister wasn"t there anyway. There was nothing he could do to a.s.sist his father; he will eventually become a burden in the long run if Zhao Ming Hua and the people behind his mother"s death turn their clutches on him.

Yan Tian Yu arranged him to be taken care of by a dear friend of his in Was.h.i.+ngton, D.C. On the other hand, Yan Qing Yu didn"t remain idle and comfort himself in the temporary safety he was in. He made his own arrangements to get back at their enemies. Nonetheless, just as he was in midst of a crucial point in his plans, Yan Qing Shan suddenly went back to the country.
Yan Qing Yu desperately wanted to get her away from them but he couldn"t leave Was.h.i.+ngton or all his efforts would be in vain. He could only beat himself up as he listened to all the schemes she had to face. At first, it was still tolerable. Yan Tian Yu could still moderate everything and protect her from the most danger. However, it came to a point where even his father couldn"t do anything anymore.
Then Zi Jue came in. His father"s desperation led him to entrust Yan Qing Shan to the devil. Yan Qing Yu blamed himself even more. But Yan Tian Yu was right. Yan Qing Shan was safer with Zi Jue than with them.
That was until recently. Yan Tian Yu was slowly losing control of the conditions. Yan Qing Yu had to go home. He rushed his affairs despite the risks. Good thing that all of it was resolved in the best case scenario. He could finally go home.
Yan Qing Yu stood languidly and shook his head to rid himself of any more thought. He leaned slightly at the simple black luggage beside him as he waited for his ride. A few minutes more, a midnight blue sedan parked in his front. Long, shapely legs clad in skin tight pants greeted him followed by an alluring face framed by a cla.s.sic short bob.
A sly grin appeared in Yan Qing Yu"s seductive lips. He whistled playfully at the woman who welcomed him with a scowl.
"Lecher! Stop wasting my time and get on already." Yao Changying uttered in an annoyed tone at him. Yan Qing Yu merely grinned wider and audaciously attempted to give the woman a bear hug. To which the latter coldly dodged.
"Ying ying, you"re still so cold. Didn"t you miss me?" He retorted smilingly. The woman merely went back inside the car and left him to fend for himself with his luggage. Yan Qing Yu chuckled to himself.
"Ah, I guess I really am home."
