Complicated emotions

Linyang's place.

After the intense meeting with Andrew and Michael, everyone agreed to join hands with them except for Liang who kept on insisting that Andrew was lying and they shouldn't believe me.

Liang was having a really hard time taking in the whole his sister falling in love with Andrew thing so he decided to talk to Linyang about it and also ask her to stay away from that man.

Standing outside her apartment door, Liang frowned when he realized that he had not seen Linyang for quite some time. She had been skipping all the wedding preparations at the Li mansion as well which was very surprising.

Linyang, Yumi and Mian were best friends who would always tag with each other everywhere so missing out a wedding was really very surprising.

Taking out his phone, he called Yumi.

"Hey Liang, I was about to call you," Yumi said.

"Why?"

"I wanted to ask whether Linyang is okay or not, she isn't receiving my calls and she keeps skipping our wedding plans which is really very strange," Yumi informed.

When Liang did not say anything, she asked, "Is everything alright? Is Linyang okay?"

"Don't worry about her, are you all still in the mansion?" He asked.

"Yes."

"Alright, I'll bring her there soon." Without waiting for her reply, he hung up the call and started ringing the doorbell.

After a few minutes when no one opened the door, Liang panicked and started banging the door.

"Linyang opens the door, it's me Liang," he shouted before banging louder.

Panicked and worried for his sister, he was about to rush down to get some help when Linyang opened the door.

"What the hell is wrong with you? I have been—" He stopped midway when she pounced into his embrace and buried her head on his chest before bursting into tears.

Wrapping his arms around her, he frowned, "What happened? Why are you crying Linyang?"

Without saying anything, Linyang started crying harder. She had been dealing with all her complicated and depressed emotions for so many days all by herself and it was very tough. She wanted someone to console her but at the same time she wanted to be alone.

She tried to take her mind off Andrew by working a lot but no matter what she did, she couldn't stop thinking about him. She had no idea whether this was happening because she was hurt or angry at him. Everything was so complicated, her emotions and the relationship she had with Andrew. Even though she wanted to talk to someone and seek their help, she couldn't.

Linyang knew that Andrew was trying to harm her family and friends but for some odd reason, she couldn't gather all her courage and tell everyone about him, which was making her feel more guilty. She was in love with the man who wanted to hurt her family, what could be worse than that?

Pulling away, she wiped her tears with the back of her hand and shook her head. "Nothing."

Taking off his coat, he wrapped it on her shoulder and frowned, "Look at you, you are freezing." Without waiting for her reply, he guided her inside the apartment.

….

Inside.

Looking at the messy couch, he asked, "You are sleeping on the couch?"

When she did not say anything, he sighed and guided her towards the couch. "I'll go get some warm clothes for you." He then made his way towards the master bedroom.

As soon as he entered the room, he frowned when he saw the bed covered with different kinds of cards, letters, dead wrinkly flowers and many photographs of Andrew and Linyang.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, he ran his fingers through his hair and reluctantly picked a letter. He knew it was wrong to invade his sister's privacy but he needed to know how far their relationship had gone.

He was about to read it when Linyang's phone which was on the bedside table buzzed continuously.

Tossing the letter aside, he picked up the phone and as soon as he unlocked it, a cute picture of Andrew and Linyang greeted him. Both of them had a very cute and genuine smile on their face, they looked very happy.

The Andrew in the picture was completely different than the Andrew he had seen today at the base during the meeting. When he met him today, his face looked pale and he had dark circles under his eyes which was because he hadn't slept properly for days.

Contemplating for a while, he opened the message that Andrew had just sent. Scrolling down, Liang realized that he had been messaging Linyang alot for many days but she hadn't responded to any one of them.

Tossing the phone aside, he sighed and got up. After grabbing some warm clothes for Linyang, he left the room.

…

Passing her the clothes, he sat down beside her and asked, "Do you want to talk about it?"

When she shook her head, he added, "Alright, let's not talk about it." Pausing for a while, he continued, "Why aren't you receiving anyone's call?"

"I don't know where my phone is," she answered.

"You aren't going to work?" When she shook her head, he sighed, "You do realize that your two best friends are getting married in weeks time and you are here crying like a small baby instead of being with them."

Cupping her face, he wiped her tears with his thumb and added, "Go and get ready, I'll take you to the Li mansion. Pack some clothes as well, you are staying with me for a few days."

"There is no need for that, I can stay al—"

Cutting her off, he snapped, "Have you seen yourself? You are a mess right now Linyang, what makes you think that I'll leave you alone in this condition?"
