Chapter 172 Argument...

historical

Lu Qiang smiled to see her panicked and embarrassed face and said, "You don’t need to be worried about him. He is the storage box of all the secrets in this family. He is always aware of what is going inside of this mansion. He must be already expecting me to be in your room. Also, what do you think? Is Lu Feng an idiot to send him here?"

Jiang Yuyan replied, "Still it’s too embarrassing for me. What if other family members will get to know about us."

"So what if they know and do you really think, my family members don’t know about us? Trust me, they know everything."

Upon hearing it, Jiang Yuyan’s face suddenly lost its color and she asked in a shock, "W-what? I mean how do they know? Did you tell them?"

Lu Qiang smiled and said, "I don’t need to tell them anything. They are smart people."

Jiang Yuyan felt tensed to hear it and said, "No way! What they might be thinking about me?

Lu Qiang again laughed to see her panicked face and said, "They must be feeling thankful towards you as finally, they will get to see, Lu Qiang’s wife coming to this mansion."

Jiang Yuyan didn’t know what to say. She had so many thoughts in her mind as it was all so sudden for her. Lu Qiang held her hand and said, "don’t think much. They already know, I like you and they too would like to see you as my wife."

Jiang Yuyan listened to what he said and replied, "If it is like that then it’s too awkward for me to face them. They might know you sleep in my room every night and....." Jiang Yuyan was utterly embarrassed to think about it.

Lu Qiang said, "That might be the case. Grandpa was the one to give you this room so that we can get closer to each other." Jiang Yuyan was shocked again to hear it and said, "Grandpa? I mean grandpa knows about us?"

Lu Qiang nodded and said, "He was the first one to know about it other than Lu Feng. Grandpa knows us well. He can see what we are thinking in just a single glance."

Jiang Yuyan murmured to herself, "How I am going to face them tomorrow?"

As Lu Qiang heard it and was about to say something, Jiang Yuyan spoke, "From today you are not allowed in my room in the night."

Lu Qiang exclaimed, "What?"

"Yes! You are going to sleep in your room from now on," she said while serving food for Lu Qiang.

Lu Qiang frowned and said, "Not going to happen."

Jiang Yuyan wanted to argue with him on this to convince him but she stopped as she realized, she has to make him eat first and if they continued like this he won’t eat anything so she finally gave up and said, "First, let’s eat something."

Lu Qiang replied, "I am not hungry."

"You have to eat something or I will get out of this room and will sleep somewhere else." she frowned. Lu Qiang obediently sat in a chair and started to eat the food served by Jiang Yuyan in a dish. He asked her to join him too but she denied as she was full. Still, Lu Qiang made her eat with him.

Once they finish eating, cleaning the table and brushing their teeth, they argued for a while more. What Jiang Yuyan was feeling embarrassed about was not the matter of embarrassment for Lu Qiang as he understood only one thing and that was he loved her and it didn’t matter to him, what others think about both of them but as a woman, Jiang Yuyan thought in a different way. She was staying in someone else’s home and it was obvious for her to feel awkward about the things between them known by other family members when she was not even married to Lu Qiang. An argument between them moved to nowhere as both were being stubborn.

Jiang Yuyan climbed into her bed and slept in the center instead of on one side of the bed. She covered herself with the quilt and said, "I am sleeping. Please switch off all the lights before you leave the room" and closed her eyes.

Lu Qiang looked at her with a questioning look with his one eyebrow curved upward. He turned off all the lights in the room and went to the bed to sleep beside her. Jiang Yuyan turned to face her back to him and said, "Go back to your room."

"I told you, you don’t have to think about them. They are fine with us being together. Just think about both of us." said Lu Qiang

"Still no. we are not married yet, so it doesn’t feel good when they know about us sleeping in the same bed every night," replied Jiang Yuyan.

"Just sometime before you confessed your love to me and now you want me to stay away from you. This is not fair."

"I don’t remember when I said that. It must be your imagination as you were drunk." Jiang Yuyan didn’t realize what she just said can create trouble for her.

Upon hearing it, Lu Qiang felt frustrated and said, "This is not the way to solve the problem. We can..."

"I don’t want to listen to anything. You won’t understand how embarrassing it is for me. From now on you have to sleep in your room, that’s it." She spoke without giving him a chance to say what he wanted.

"So being with me is embarrassing for you. Okay! As you wish." Lu Qiang turned around, stepped towards the door and went out of the room with quite a loud sound of the door closing. As Jiang Yuyan heard it, she turned to look back and saw, Lu Qiang left.

She sat up in a bed and felt a little bad as she had to use harsh words but she thought it was the only way. She wanted to say, that being with him was not embarrassing but was something she liked most and he was taking her words in a wrong way but Lu Qiang left before she could realize and say it. She was worried to think about what others might be thinking about her character.
