Such a shame that my wife goes on a blind date with a man who can't even offer her a nice dinner," Lu Lijun commented calmly as he continued looking outside.

Jiang Yuyan felt like the floor under her feet had slipped away. She looked at him who didn't look at her even once after throwing a bomb at her feet.

'How did he get to know about it?' she didn't know what to say. '....But why am I feeling guilty suddenly? Why is he making it sound like I am betraying him? I can't let him do this with me….' She inhaled deeply and asked, "How do you know?"

Lu Lijun still didn't look at her and said, "Is it wrong to know about where my wife goes and who she meets?"

She frowned, "Are you keeping a tab on me?"

"Why are you worried that I might find out something more?" he countered. 

"How dare you keep tabs on me?" She exclaimed. 

"If this is how you think…." he stopped as he didn't feel the need to explain anything to her and finally turned to look at her. His eyes were cold but unusually calm that Jiang Yuyan couldn't find what was in his mind. 

"For the last time I am warning you, don't check my patience, Yuyan," he said.

Her eyes wavered the way he talked, looked at her and he called her by name which showed how serious he was. 

"Lu Lijun, you need to understand what I said before. I told you I am free to marry anyone…." 

He took a step towards her and she paused in what she was saying. As he moved closer to her, she found it hard to find words to talk further.

"I...I told you have no right to meddle in my life….You are Lu Qiang's brother...and…."

"And?" he spoke, standing facing her, staring at her nervous face and startled eyes. 

"And...My responsibility…"

"I am fortunate to have a wife who takes my responsibility," Lu Lijun countered.

"Why can't you forget what happened in the past... That was just a….."

"Don't call it a mistake," he interrupted her, his voice was firm and cold, "It's the truth of our lives and I am going to take it seriously whether you want it or not. Don't you dare," he warned. 

"But I don't…ahh…"

Lu Lijun pushed her to the wall behind him while holding her at the shoulder and held her tight as his fierce eyes gazed into her shocked ones. 

He gritted his teeth as he spoke while pressing on each word, "Yuyan, don't provoke me. Don't make me hurt you."

Jiang Yuyan was shocked and could only look at his fierce face where he was trying hard to suppress his anger.

"Lu Lijun, you…."

Lu Lijun hugged her before she could say a word. Holding her tight he tried to calm himself down while Jiang Yuyan could only let him do it. With his eyes shut and inhaling her scent, he tried to calm himself down.

"Yuyan...I feel like... there is a beast inside me that wants to hurt you...Don't provoke me please," his voice was painful and pleading, "It's hard to control it...I don't wish to hurt you..."

Jiang Yuyan felt speechless and didn't know what to say. He continued to hold her, and let her go for a while. Not talking to her he went towards the wardrobe where his winter coat was hung and pulled it out. 

"What are you doing?" Jiang Yuyan asked, seeing him wearing that coat and he looked ready to go out. 

"I am leaving," he replied. 

"At this hour? You are still not well," Jiang Yuyan countered. 

"Don't stop me if you don't want me to hurt you," Lu Lijun countered and stepped out of the room the next instant.

Jiang Yuyan followed him and she knew it was not possible to stop him. "Don't go alone. Let me…"

"No need," Lu Lijun strode down the stairs.

Jiang Yuyan followed him but he didn't stop.

"Where are you going?? She asked worriedly.

Lu Lijun didn't answer and went out towards the parking lot as he looked at the guard. "Key!"

The guard understood he was asking for the keys to the car. Other than Jiang Yuyan's regular black car, there were few others and the guard was about to get a key for him but Jiang Yuyan arrived there.

"Lu Lijun, you can go tomorrow. It's late and roads are not safe," she said.

"Glad to know you worry for me," he said and looked at the guard as he said coldly, "Do you want me to leave by walking?"

It scared the driver. He immediately handed him over the keys, "That white car," and hurried away from there.

Lu Lijun strode towards the car. Even before he could open the door, he felt his head spinning and stood there taking the support of the car and tried to shake his head to get his vision clear.

Jiang Yuyan hurried to hold him, "Lu Lijun, don't be so stubborn. You are still not well. Stay here…."

He looked at her, interrupted her and he spoke, "Will you sleep with me tonight?"

It startled her. Sleep with him? As in?

"You know what I mean," he said with a meaningful gaze. Like she got a shock, Jiang Yuyan let go of his hand that she held to support him. 

Disappointment took over him as she cared for herself more than his life. 

He opened the door of the car and was about to sit inside, Jiang Yuyan held his hand to stop him, "If that is what you want."

She didn't wish to put his life in danger. It was a hillside and roads were covered in snow and in the night it was even worse. He was not well and she felt worried that he wouldn't be able to drive.

Lu Lijun looked at her, 'Did she just agree to it? Is she out of her mind? Doesn't she understand what I mean by that or she thought it's just sleeping next to me in bed?'

"Do you know what you are agreeing to?" Lu Lijun asked. 

She stared into his eyes to look confident but her hands turned sweaty even in such cold weather. "I know."

Lu Lijun closed the door of the car and stood resting his back at it. "Then kiss me right here."

Jiang Yuyan felt her soul leaving her body by thinking about what she had agreed to just now and looked around. There was no one around.

"I am waiting." She heard Lu Lijun and looked back at him. 

She stepped towards him and stood facing him while Lu Lijun was standing still leaning back at the car.

Seeing her so slow and hesitant, Lu Lijun spoke, "Leave it. I will just leave." He was about to stand straight from leaning back at the car, Jiang Yuyan pushed him back placing her hands at his chest and touching his lips with hers, and stayed unmoved for a few moments, as her eyes were closed.

Lu Lijun was surprised with it and stayed unmoved too.
