Ming Rusheng couldn't sleep and came out of his room towards the vast gallery of his floor. The woman he liked, it was difficult to even ask for the dinner and how things turned out like this.
The cold and pleasant breeze continued to play with his hair as he blankly stared ahead. He looked at the sky and trees moving along the wind only to realize there will be rain.
"What are you thinking about?"
Ming Rusheng heard it and turned to look at the person. His father was standing at the door of the gallery.
"Father.."
Ming Yusheng went to him. "What are you doing here at this hour?"
"I couldn't sleep," Ming Rusheng answered.
"That's why I asked what are you thinking about so deeply?" Ming Yusheng countered as he stood beside his son.
"Just random stuff," Ming Rusheng replied.
"For the past few months, you don't look good. Did something happen? You can tell me if you want to?" Ming Yusheng offered.
Ming Rusheng turned silent for a while and spoke. "Father, do you ever regret something? Any mistakes that you made?"
"There are plenty," Ming Yusheng replied.
Getting a casual answer from his father, Ming Rusheng looked at him. "Then what did father do?"
"I learned from them and made sure to not make the same mistake again."
"What if there is something that you wish you could turn back time and not let it happen."

"What did you do?"
"By then your aunt was no more and I could do nothing," Ming Yusheng replied. "Only if I could understand what was in her mind but I failed to be a good brother who looks after his sister."
"Then?"
"Then, nothing. You can never turn back time so you learn to face it and live with it."
"Hmm!"
Ming Yusheng looked at his troubled son. "Whatever it is, just face it instead of thinking too much about it."
Ming Rusheng nodded.
"What are you two doing here at this hour?"
The two looked at the old man standing by the door of the gallery.
"Father-son talk," Ming Yusheng replied.
Elder Ming went to them and looked at Ming Rusheng. "You look tired. Go and sleep early."
Ming Rusheng agreed and left after wishing good night.
"What was he talking about?" Elder Ming asked his son.
"Looks like he is regretting something he has done."
Elder Ming sighed. "Mistakes from the past."
"I hope he will get over it," Ming Yusheng added.
"When a person knows to regret that means they are on the right track," Elder Ming commented.
Ming Yusheng agreed.
Elder Ming continued, "At that time we didn't pay attention to him and left him on his own not knowing what he was going through. He passed that phase so he will get through this too."
"He looked serious and more troubled."
"Your son is lovesick," Elder Ming replied.
"Lu Lian?" Ming Yusheng asked straight away as he was not surprised to hear it.
"Hmm."
"Should we do something for him?" Ming Yusheng asked.
"Let him take his time," Elder Ming suggested and his son agreed.
Lu Lijun, who couldn't sleep even when it was past midnight, went to the gallery of his room after feeling tired of being in bed. A gust of strong wind welcomed him in the gallery and he noticed it was about to rain.
Just as he reached the gallery, his sight followed down where he noticed Jiang Yuyan going towards the car.
"What is she doing outside?" he mumbled and saw her sitting in the car. "Where is she going?" The next moment the car started and turned to leave the mansion.
Lu Lijun turned around to return to the room. He was already worried about her thinking she must be sad and her sudden action worried him.
Grabbing his phone in hurry he stepped out of the room while making a call. He called Jiang Yuyan's number but she didn't receive it. He knew, by the time he will even reach the ground floor, she would have been left already.
Giving up on calling her twice, he reached downstairs and dialed San Zemin's number. "Where is your boss going?" Lu Lijun asked the moment San Zemin received the call.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Not sure but my men informed me just now that boss had left the mansion. They are following her and I'll be there soon."
"Send me her tracking details," Lu Lijun instructed and hurried towards his car.
Getting car keys from the guard, Lu Lijun left as he set his mobile to track where Jiang Yuyan left as per San Zemin shared her tracking details.
Lu Lijun continued to drive and soon there was rain. The way Jiang Yuyan drove, he was worried and the rain made it worse. He wanted to reach her as soon as possible.
The moment he saw in tracking where she was heading, he felt like his worry would suffocate him. She was driving on the highway that led the way towards the accident place. Her car's speed was faster and Lu Lijun too didn't mind driving as fast as he could. It was past midnight so roads were empty.
Driving in the rain, soon Lu Lijun stopped at the accident place where Jiang Yuyan's car was parked on the roadside and she was standing in the middle of the road, in the rain at the place of the accident.
Lu Lijun stepped out of the car in a hurry where he saw one more car on the roadside that belonged to San Zemin's Men. Two men in black suits were standing outside in the rain looking at their boss, not disturbing her and they bowed to Lu Lijun when they saw him.
Lu Lijun ran towards Jiang Yuyan as the rain continued to drench him too and at the same time, San Zemin arrived there too and stepped out of the car in hurry.
Lu Lijun went to her and stood in front of the lost looking woman who continued to stand there in a daze.
"Yuyan!" he called and finally she looked at him.
Though it was rain, one could see she was crying. Her eyes were full of the pain from losing someone.
Lu Lijun felt her teary eyes pricked his heart and he could feel her pain. Not saying anything, he stepped ahead and hugged her lightly like consoling a kid. He patted her head and stood quietly, letting her cry.
Surprisingly, this time Jiang Yuyan hugged him back and continued crying while burying her face in his chest and sobbing loudly.
Lu Lijun couldn't hold back his tears too but the rain washed them away.
"I..miss..him," she said in her crying voice in between her sobbing.
"I miss him too," Lu Lijun said as the two stood there for a while.
San Zemin saw it and could only feel bad for his boss. Seeing them, even he couldn't hold back his tears.
It was a relief for San Zemin that his boss finally allowed someone to be by her side and cried her heart out. Every time San Zemin didn't know how to console her and had to leave her alone to be on her own as she didn't like anyone to come to her.
