Chapter 56 Grandpa's Royal Decree!!

When Lu Qiang sat beside her, she could smell the shower gel scent on his body that made her feel very different. She started to inhale deeply without realising it. She was looking at the floor to avoid the sight of her brother who was smiling lightly. He went close to her and said something in her ear in a very low voice.

Jiang Yang : "I think, your olfactory sensory neurones are troubling you."

Jiang YuYan : "I guess so. They seems to be very active right now." She too said it without any hesitation as admitting what was happening to her. Also, after the chat with her brother last night, she was comfortable with him to talk about such things. She knew that, she can't hide anything from her doctor brother who had great observation skills.

When Lu Qiang sat there, elders were busy in their talk of old times. Suddenly Lu Jinhai looked at Lu Qiang and said, "Lu Qiang! Jiang YuYan enrolled to the same University, where you studied the business management.

Lu Qiang : "Ummm! That's good." He didn't react much. Just said it casually with his usual calm expressions on his face.

Lu Jinhai : "You can help her with the things related to the University and her studies as you are the ex-student there.

Lu Qiang : "Sure!" And he looked at her.

Jiang YuYan : "__" Cough**Cough (N...No way! You will distract me from my studies and will make things difficult for me.) And she looked at her brother with pitiful expressions.

Jiang Yang : "__" (Haha! All the best sis) He was enjoying this.

Jiang YuYan : "It's ok, Uncle Lu Jinhai. I...I'll manage. He must be already busy with his office work."

Jiang Yang : "What are you talking about sis? He is our childhood friend. He can atleast do that much for you. Am I right Lu Qiang?" He said it and looked at Lu Qiang with a smile.

Lu Qiang : "Ummm! If she needs it."

Lu Jiahui : "Of course he will help her. But Jiang Ruolan, where is she going to stay? As I know, your current residence is on the other side of the city and it's too far from the University." Lu Qiang's and Jiang YuYan's mothers were good friends too as they knew each other for long time.

Jiang Ruolan : "We have arranged her stay at University dormitory." She said it casually but she didn't know that her words made certain someone upset.

Lu Huan : "What? My love is going to stay in the dormitory when she already has her home here, this Lu Mansion? I won't allow it." That certain someone was elder Lu Huan.

Jiang Peizhi : "Father! I have checked everything there and dormitory is good. She will be comfortable there."

Lu Huan : "So you mean to say that she will be comfortable there more than here in Lu Mansion?"

Jiang Peizhi : "N..No father. I was just....." He couldn't even finish his sentence as Lu Shuang cut him in between.

Lu Shuang : "Jiang Peizhi! I agree with the decision of Jiang YuYan's stay in the Lu Mansion. Why to stay outside when she has us as her family and this house. We will take care of her. Rest assured." Lu Shuang's words were equally important to everyone as her husband elder Lu Huan's words.

Lu Huan : "So its final. Jiang YuYan will stay here in Lu mansion. If anyone has a problem then they can bang there head on that wall." And pointed to the wall infront of him and again said, "I won't change my decision." Then he folded his hands in front of his chest with serious expressions on his face. Elder Lu Huan was expert in using his authority of an elder in the house. He knew nobody can dare to cross him. His wife, the only person who had the power to cross him was agreed with him too.

Jiang Yang : "YuYan! Go and bang your head on that wall." He said it in a very low voice. Jiang YuYan was still in shock with what just happened. A moment before she was refusing to take Lu Qiang's help and now she has to stay with him in this mansion under the same roof. She thought 'Just not acceptable. I have problem with it grandpa'. But she couldn't muster the courage to say it in front of elder Lu Huan. She just mumbled to herself, "I am doomed" to which her brother replied, "I think so too!" And smiled.

Lu Jianhi : "Father is right, Jiang Peizhi!. She will stay at Lu Mansion. University is near from this place and also I'll arrange a special car and a driver for her so that she won't face any problem with transportation." He tried to convince his friend too. His wife Lu Jiahui was agreed too.

Lu Huan : "I think your brain is still working fine my son which I doubted before." Elder Lu Huan was happy with what his son said.

Jiang Peizhi and Jiang Ruolan looked at their daughter who was in a little shock. They asked, "What do you say YuYan?"

Jiang YuYan : "Mom! I...."

Jiang Yang : "Of course she will love to stay here Mom!" He said it before she could say anything. He knew she will try to decline it but he also knew that she had to stay here as it was the decision of grandpa Lu. He also wanted her to be with Lu Qiang and spend time with him. He had his own reasons for it and that reason was only known to him.

When she heard her brother she felt like to curse him there but she couldn't do anything but just frown. Her lips moved to say 'Yes' but her head was moving like saying 'No'.

All this time Lu Qiang was calm, without reacting to anything. When his grandpa issued the royal decree, he was the most happy person there. His inside was exploding with happiness and he wanted to get up and hug his grandpa tightly. But after being in a business field for all these years he became skilled in hiding his true self.

Everything was decided and everyone was happy except for Jiang YuYan. She was upset for being affected by Lu Qiang's presence around her and that was the main reason she didn't want to stay in Lu Mansion. She excused herself and went to the washroom. As soon as she entered inside, she cursed herself while standing infront of a huge mirror which was just above the wash basin.

"What and why is this happening to me? I can't get close to anyone ever. But...But his presence always affects my determination. No no no! I can't let that happen. I can't go back to where I started." She tried to get deep breaths again and again and said herself to calm down.

"I can't let him get close to me. Yes! I have to draw a line between both of us if I have to stay here . But....Why...Why his touch and his being close to me doesn't feel bad? It should not be like this. I must hate it. Right?" She Started to ask so many questions to herself. She splashed water on her face again and again then stood there for few minutes with her face drenched in a water with her hands resting on wash basin's platform. She was staring at her own reflection in the mirror.
