Chapter 203 Shocked....
Jiang Yuyan went to her room to get ready for the function and in the antic.i.p.ation of meeting Lu Qiang there. She wore a scarlet A-line evening full-length dress with a high neck and open V-back with a bow just below it. It was made up of satin, completing the glamorous picture perfect look. A simple diamond tops in ears and a diamond bracelet in one hand with a black color clutch. Hair parted to one side and kept open with just a light makeup on the face. She sprinkled a light perfume on her wrists and on the back of the neck too and before leaving her room, she once again checked herself to see if everything was fine.
She wore matching red sandals and as she was ready to go out, someone knocked on the door. She opened the door and saw, her brother was standing outside of her room while Lu Feng was standing a few steps away while facing his back to them as ready to go ahead but stopped to wait for Jiang Yuyan.
"woohoo, sis! You are looking just wow. Are you planning to kill my friend with your beauty?" Jiang Yang said while observing Jiang Yuyan from head to toe. She looked very beautiful and elegant lady, for whom any man could get head over heels. Upon hearing Jiang Yang"s words, Lu Feng turned to look at her. When he saw her, his heart started to beat faster and he couldn"t help but stare at her. Jiang Yang looked at him and asked, "Isn"t my sister is looking too beautiful today."
Lu Feng immediately averted his sight from her to look at Jiang Yang and said, "She always looks pretty." Then he turned around and said, "We are getting late, let"s go." and led the way. Upon hearing these two, Jiang Yuyan smiled a little and followed them in antic.i.p.ation to meet Lu Qiang.
They reached to the party hall. It was full of so many guests and all family members were already present there. Jiang Yuyan looked for Lu Qiang but she was not able to find him. Jiang Yang and Lu Feng were aware of her situation. "Don"t worry he would be here soon." suddenly Lu Feng spoke as he felt bad to see her sad face. "Lu Feng is right. He would be here soon. He must be busy with something," said Jiang Yang.
"Hmm!" Jiang Yuyan nodded. Just then they heard a voice. "You are looking beautiful Jiang Yuyan." They looked in the direction of the voice, that was Ming Rusheng. He too came to attend the ring ceremony but alone and not with his family. w.a.n.g Zhilan was Elder Lu Huan"s daughter so it was an obvious thing that n.o.body from Ming Family would come to attend this function. As Ming family shared a good relation with w.a.n.g family so someone from the Ming family had to come so they preferred to send Ming Rusheng instead of someone elder from the family.
Ming Rusheng was holding a wine gla.s.s in his hands and stepped towards Jiang Yuyan. All three looked at him. He smiled to see them but his eyes were paying more attention to Jiang Yuyan. Lu Feng frowned to look at him but couldn"t do anything as Ming Rusheng was a guest. Suddenly, a small figure came and stood up in between Jiang Yuyan and Ming Rusheng.
Lu Lijun was with one of his cousins who were of the same age as him. When he saw Ming Rusheng, he came to Jiang Yuyan. He never liked Ming Rusheng even if they never meet each other that much.
"Where is the one more bodyguard of Yuyan from Lu family?" Ming Rusheng was referring to Lu Qiang. What he said, was annoying for them but n.o.body said anything. Lu Feng almost felt like to hit him but controlled himself.
"Jiang Yuyan! Her name is Jiang Yuyan," said Lu Lijun while staring into Ming Rusheng"s eyes.
Ming Rusheng smiled a little and said, "I know but as you people call her like this so I thought to try it once."
"It"s only for the people close to her." Lu Lijun replied with his usual cold voice which made him look like Lu Qiang.
"Hmm! You all seem to be very close to her, Lu Lijun." Ming Rusheng said while carrying the same smile on his face.
"You don"t have to know about it. Also, as you have tried saying her Yuyan once, now you can call her Jiang Yuyan." Lu Lijun said with a cold face without paying attention to what Ming Rusheng said.
"Ohkay! My bad. Jiang Yuyan! Fine?" Ming Rusheng replied.
The ring ceremony was about to start but still, there was no sign of Lu Qiang. Jiang Yuyan"s face was becoming sadder as the time pa.s.sed by and also no one knew where he went. As the ceremony started, Lu Qiang arrived in the hall. He was wearing a black tuxedo and he was the center of attraction for everyone.
Jiang Yuyan gave out a sigh of relief to see him. Soon he was surrounded by the people in the hall, to think of it as a great opportunity to talk with president Lu. Lu Qiang was talking to them instead of coming to his friends as they were few important and respected people in the business world.
The ring ceremony started. w.a.n.g Peng and his beautiful fiance were on the stage to exchange the rings. Everyone was busy to look at the beautiful couple on the stage while Jiang Yuyan"s eyes were following the direction of Lu Qiang and Ming Rusheng"s eyes were following Jiang Yuyan. He noticed her looking at Lu Qiang and felt a bit jealous but still couldn"t stop himself from looking at her.
Soon the ring ceremony finished. Suddenly, Zhi Ruo came to Lu Qiang with panicked expressions on her face. Lu Qiang looked at her and without saying a single word by her, he followed her. Jiang Yuyan saw it. She excused herself and followed them too. Jiang Yang and Lu Feng had to go to w.a.n.g Peng as he called them and Lu Lijun was busy with his cousin. Ming Rusheng too followed Jiang Yuyan in a while.
Jiang Yuyan went out of the hall towards the corridor but no one was there. It was hard for her to walk faster as she was wearing a full-length dress, almost touching to the floor. She had to walk by lifting her dress up a little with her hands. She tried to search for Lu Qiang by searching the whole corridor but Lu Qiang was nowhere to be seen.
Jiang Yuyan felt frustrated and tears rolled down from her eyes. She was waiting to see Lu Qiang since morning and when she finally saw him and wanted to talk to him, he disappeared again. Jiang Yuyan gave up and stood up there with the support of a wall to her back with her eyes closed like feeling helpless. She tried to stop her tears but she was not able to do so.
Suddenly she heard a voice. "Use it." She opened her eyes just to see a white handkerchief in front of her eyes and a man who was offering it to her. She didn"t accept the handkerchief and said, "No Thank you. I am fine, Ming Rusheng."
"I know you are fine but using it, is not going to hurt you, so take it." Ming Rusheng said while still holding a handkerchief in front of her. She finally accepted it and wiped her tears with it. When she was wiping her tears, Ming Rusheng suddenly noticed a strand of hair hanging near her cheek, separating from her neatly arranged hair.
Ming Rusheng didn"t think for second and tucked that hair strand behind her ear. This sudden move from Ming Rusheng startled her but before she could react or say something, a man came and pulled her towards him. He didn"t stop by just pulling her towards him but he kissed her too in front of Ming Rusheng.
This sudden appearance of someone and his action shocked Jiang Yuyan but it didn"t take her much time to realize who it was. That kiss, she knew the person, her man, Lu Qiang. She didn"t resist and let him kiss her. Ming Rusheng stepped back to see this and just then Lu Qiang parted away from her lips to look at Ming Rusheng but didn"t say a single word. Ming Rusheng turned around and left.
Lu Qiang let go of Jiang Yuyan and left without saying anything to her or looking at her. This reaction from Lu Qiang was shocking for her. When he kissed her in front of Ming Rusheng without thinking for a moment, she thought everything was fine between both of them but when he left without saying a single word to her, it broke her heart. She didn"t know what to do and stood rooted in her place while looking at Lu Qiang"s retreating back until he disappeared from her sight.
She felt like to cry and again tears rolled down from her eyes. She realized it was her mistake so she has to apologize first. She collected herself and went in the direction of the corridor, where he went. That was the end of the corridor and there was a lawn in front of it. She moved her sight in all the corners of the lawn. When she thought, there was no one, she saw a figure in a black suit, entering the corridor on the other side of the lawn. She recognized, that was Lu Qiang and she ran in a hurry across the lawn to catch him.
That day, the atmosphere was cloudy and looked like it was going to be raining soon. The wind was blowing and it was hard for her to run while holding her long and heavy dress in her both hands. She managed somehow and reached to the corridor. She ran inside at the same pace until she could see him.
After running for a while, she saw the shadows at the turn in the corridor but it was not clear as that place was a bit dark. She stopped and stepped forward slowly in the direction of shadows. She was scared a little as it was dark and she could only see, nothing but the shadows. As she went ahead, she saw a man and a woman were kissing and looked like a man was a bit forceful on a girl.
Jiang Yuyan stepped further and saw the girl was Zhi Ruo. Her heart skipped a bit to see her with a man in a black suit. She stepped back in a shock saying "Lu Qiang" and by mistake touched a huge vase placed there beside the wall in a small stand, that made it fall on the ground and break into pieces.
