Chapter 86 Happy Birthday Yuyan!
Chapter 86 Happy Birthday Yuyan!!
Lu Qiang couldn't say anything further. He was feeling guilty to upset her on this special day as somewhat he was responsible for it too. He knew, Jiang Yang decided not to come here to celebrate his sister's birthday because he wanted to give him an opportunity to spend time with Jiang Yuyan.
He waited for few moments and asked, "Do you want to go back?"
Jiang Yuyan looked at him and said, "No! As we are already here, just stay here for a while." Then she again looked down towards the floor.
Jiang Yuyan knew, if she said to go back, it will hurt Lu Qiang as he might think that she don't trust him and he might feel hurt. This time she didn't want to hurt him. It was not like she didn't want to be with him, it's just that she was afraid of something like that night might happen and she will again hurt him. She knew he liked her and he was doing his best to please her on her birthday.
Lu Qiang got up from the sofa, walked towards her and said while offering her his hand, "Come with me."
Jiang Yuyan lifted her head up and looked at him surprisingly. She accepted his hand and got up from the sofa.
Lu Qiang held her hand and started to walk in the direction of the staircase. She was walking with him while holding his hand. When they reached upstairs, she saw there was a huge gallery which was decorated with so many beautiful flowers and candles. The gallery was open with a starry sky above and it looked really attractive and beautiful.
The candles were everywhere which brightened each and every corner of that gallery. Rose petals were all over on the floor, giving it a look of red velvet. In the centre of the gallery, there was a round glass table with two chairs to sit. On the table, there was a beautiful candle holder with few candles burning.
Lu Qiang looked at her. She stood frozen in her place while staring at this beautiful and unexpected sight. He was still holding her hand and said, "Let's go."
Jiang Yuyan looked at him and nodded. She knew it was all for her and he prepared it. She was surprised but at the same time she felt pleased too. Those sad expressions on her face from few moments before disappeared instantly.
Lu Qiang took her to the table in the centre of the gallery by holding her hand. She was walking over the red velvety floor made by rose petals. She was observing her each step when she was walking over those petals. She was feeling happy and special and had a pleasant smile on her face. She was like a naive girl who never got to feel such special moments in her life and never ever dreamed about them. Lu Qiang was happy to see her smiling and gave out a sigh of relief.
There date was not normal date like when couples are madly in love with each other and could do anything they want. In the case of these two, they were not sure about each other's exact feelings and always had to be careful around while thinking not to do anything to hurt each other.
When they reached to the table, Lu Qiang let go of her hand. He pulled out one chair for her and helped her to sit comfortably then he sat on the other chair opposite to her.
JIang Yuyan was silent as she didn't know what to say. Then Lu Qiang looked at her and asked, "You must be hungry."
Jiang Yuyan nodded but said, "Not that much."
Just then a butler arrived with one servants behind him who was carrying cake and wine with him. He put the cake, wine bottle and two glasses on the table then they return back.
Jiang Yuyan looked at Lu Qiang. She was nervous around him. She felt like, she was on a date but couldn't understand how all this just happened. Before coming to his place, she just expected it to be the normal birthday celebration but all these things were directing towards, her being on a first date of her life.
She blushed with the thought of being on a date and that was with the man she liked. She tried to look in other direction to avoid eye contact with Lu Qiang. She didn't want him to know, what she was thinking.
Lu Qiang looked at her and he knew she understood what was happening. He didn't want to hold back himself and wanted to go with a flow. He asked Jiang Yuyan to blow the candle on a cake. She did it and cut the cake.
Lu Qiang picked one small piece of a cake and offered her while saying, "Happy Birthday Yuyan!"
She accepted it and said, "Thank you Lu Qiang."
Soon dinner arrived and both finished it while talking about the things here and there, which made the tension between them disappear. In between the dinner Lu Qiang typed a message on his phone and sent it to someone. After finishing the dinner butler came again with a servant and cleaned the table while Jiang Yuyan and Lu Qiang walked towards the glass railing of the gallery.
Both were standing near the railing observing a vast starry sky. It was bright with all those stars and calm and peaceful. They could see the vast forest ahead below that starry sky. Jiang Yuan closed her eyes to feel the breeze which gently stirred her hairs. The loose hair strands on either side of her face were lightly stirring with the gentle breeze. Lu Qiang looked at her and raised his hand to tuck the loose hair strands behind her ears.
Just then Jiang Yuyan opened her eyes and turned her head to her left side to look at him. He stopped his hand midway. She looked at his hands and understood what he was doing. She smiled and turned to stand face to face with him while looking into his eyes, as asking him to do what he was doing.
He was surprised to see her reaction. He smiled too and tucked the loose strands of hairs behind her ears while looking into her beautiful and attractive starry eyes.
