At Zhang Wei's residence...
Ming Rusheng was sitting in the dark on the sofa with a glass of alcohol in his hands. Soone entered the ho and switched on the lights. Trying to cover his eyes from the bright light, Ming Rusheng looked up and saw his uncle coming towards him.
"Uncle, when did you co?"
"Just now but I didn't expect to see you like this when I am back." Saying Zhang Wei sat on the couch.
Swirling the liquor in the glass, Ming Rusheng said, "It's not the first ti you are seeing like this."
"Right, but this ti the reason for drinking is wrong. Since the past two weeks, you are like this."
"There is no reason, I was drinking as you were not here and I just felt bored."
Not arguing with him, Zhang Wei asked, "Have you been to the wedding?"
"Hmm!" Ming Rusheng nodded.
Zhang Wei looked at the liquor bottle on the center table and said. "Explains a lot."
Not reacting to his uncle's words, Ming Rusheng continued drinking and Zhang Wei asked, "When did you co back from the wedding?"
"Once the priest announced them as husband and wife, I left," Ming Rusheng replied.
During the wedding when everyone clapped for the couple and they were busy admiring them, Ming Rusheng inford his grandfather he was leaving as the important part of the wedding was over and he was not willing to stay there for long. Understanding his situation, elder Ming didn't stop him and allowed him to leave as he ca there to attend the wedding was enough for elder Ming.
"Hmm! Stop drinking now and get to the bed, it's already so late," Zhang Wei said.
"I don't want to as I am thinking sothing," Ming Rusheng said in his drunk voice.
"What are you thinking?"
"Uncle, is it fair for just one man to have everything with him? A power, Prestige, Money, a woman he loved and everything," Ming Rusheng asked staring at the glass in his hand as if he was thinking so many things at the sa mont.
"Things co to you with the hard work you do," Zhang Wei replied.
Hearing it, Ming Rusheng exclaid, "Exactly! That's why this ti I am trying my best. He has a woman so I will get other things as I can't get the woman."
Zhang Wei was listening to him and looking at him, Ming Rusheng asked again, "Uncle, can a man be happy with everything with him but the woman he loved?"
This question from Ming Rusheng left his uncle speechless. Zhang Wei couldn't say 'Yes' or not even he could say 'No'. If he had said yes, then it would be a lie because Zhang Wei had everything but the woman he loved and if he had said no, then it was like provoking Ming Rusheng to get the woman.
"You didn't answer , uncle," Ming Rusheng said and leaned back on the sofa is ready to hear his uncle.
Zhang Wei preferred to go through the way of lie instead of the one that could make Ming Rusheng do the wrong things. "If you are busy working and you get to the top, you won't think about other things. About the woman, you never know when soone suddenly crosses your way and you fall in love again."
"I will go with what you said the first and about falling in love again, that's not possible now. So I will choose a way to go on the top," Ming Rusheng said.
"You will be there, soon. Now stop drinking and get to bed. I am already tired of the traveling, so don't make this old man feel more tired by taking care of you at this hour."
Smiling, Ming Rusheng said, "Don't call yourself an old man, uncle. You are still young and I am still waiting for the day when I will get to see my aunt and then sweet little cousins of mine."
With these words from Ming Rushen, the serious atmosphere around changed that even cold faced Zhang Wei couldn't help but smile hearing it.
"How is this possible? How can you smile, uncle?" Ming Rusheng laughed a little and Zhang Wei said., "Be good and go to the bed now."
Nodding Ming Rusheng got up from the couch after putting the glass in his hands on the table. "Good night, uncle."
"Good night, Ming Rusheng."
Looking at Ming Rusheng's retreating back, Zhang Wei said, "Only you can make smile like this, son. Everyone thinks of you as a spoiled and rude kid, but they don't know the truth that's hidden inside you. I just wish if I could give you everything you desired for."

The next morning...
The inside of the bedroom of a newly wedded couple in the cottage brightened with the sunlight coming inside through the glass windows. The pleasant cold breeze was blowing the curtains along with it and the sound of birds chirping was making the atmosphere lively.
Lu Qiang woke up with his woman sleeping next to him. Looking at her calmly sleeping with an even rhythm of the breathing, a pleasant smile painted on his lips and he continued looking at her. With his heart overwheld with so many pleasant feelings at the mont, he said. "Mine."
Lu Qiang wanted to pull Jiang Yuyan in his embrace and hug her tightly, but he dropped the idea as he didn't want to disturb her sleep. She was exhausted with the wedding ceremony the previous day and with what they did the previous night; he preferred to let her take a rest, and he got up from the bed.
Picking up their clothes from the floor, Lu Qiang kept it on the couch. He hung up Jiang Yuyan's wedding dress neatly to the hanger, looking at it smiling as he rembered the mont she appeared in front of him in that dress. Tidying the room, he went to the bathroom to get freshened up.
