Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband-Novel

Chapter 982 - He Is The Reason What I'm Today...

Ming Rusheng stood there silently, looking at what Lu Lian was doing. He saw her burying one old box in the soil.

Once Lu Lian covered the box properly, she stood up and saw Ming Rusheng standing at a distance, looking at her. Not minding him, she went towards the bench close to where she was and sat there; she was calm, but her eyes filled with sadness.

Ming Rusheng went to Lu Lian and sat beside her on the same bench but didn’t say or ask anything. The moments of silence passed by as the two kept quiet.

Lu Lian didn’t stop him from sitting there. He was the person who had hurt her, and she didn’t even wish to see him, but that day she was in a different world to think about anything. She had only her brother in her mind and his memories with her.

"He is the reason for what I’m today," suddenly Lu Lian spoke.

Hearing it, Ming Rusheng looked at her, and she spoke again, not looking at him, "He was the reason I chose to be an architect."

Ming Rusheng nodded lightly and looked ahead, being ready to hear her out.

"When I was a high school senior, this orphanage was being planned. One day I went to the office with my mother and saw my elder brother talking with someone about it, and there was the architecture model kept. I was amazed to see that model which would be converted into this beautiful structure."

Talking about the past, Lu Lian once again stepped into those memories from the past when she went to Lu Corporation with her mother and saw her brother talking to one man while standing in front of the architecture model.

The man left, and Lu Qiang looked at the two ladies standing behind him. He greeted his mother and smilingly looked at Lu Lian, who straightaway went to see the architecture model.

"Wooh, this is so pretty. What is this for, and who made this brother?" Lu Lian asked in amazement.

Lu Qiang patted her head, "This is the model of the orphanage that we will build, and the team of architects made it."

"How can they make it. It looks so difficult," she asked.

"It’s their job," Lu Qiang replied.

"I want to make something like this too."

Lu Qiang nodded, "You can, but for that, you have to study it well."

"I will. One day I’ll make something like this and give it to you," said Lu Lian looking at her brother.

"I’ll wait for it," assuring her, Lu Qiang asked, "It’s your birthday soon. What do you want?"

Lu Lian smiled, "When this orphanage would be ready?"

"Not before your birthday," Lu Qiang replied, knowing what his sister would ask.

"Hmm, then I can wait. When this is ready, you can take me there as my birthday gift."

Lu Lian’s birthday passed by, and her gift was yet to be pending. She thought her brother would forget it, but he didn’t. After a few months, when the orphanage was ready, Lu Qiang took Lu Lian there.

"Where are we going, elder brother?" she asked on the way, inside the car.

"Somewhere you would like to go," Lu Qiang replied.

When they reached in front of the orphanage, Lu Lian recognized what it was.

The orphanage was empty as it was still under some improvements to be made. The two took a look around everywhere, as Lu Lian observed everything.

"It feels like I have been here before. It’s exactly the same as that model to make me feel like it."

"Hmm," Lu Qiang nodded as he looked at his curious sister, whose eyes were busy noticing every single detail in that newly constructed structure.

They reached outside in the garden, but Lu Lian’s attention was caught by the isolated place, which was surrounded by the single row palm trees.

"What’s there?" asking she stepped towards it, and Lu Qiang silently followed her.

When they reached there, Lu Lian looked at her brother as she looked calm, but her eyes shined brightly, "This is the best place here," and sat on one of the benches.

All the time, Lu Qiang just observed and followed her being happy in his sister’s happiness.

"I thought elder brother must have forgotten my gift," Lu Lian said, referring to the promise between them when she asked Lu Qiang to bring her to the orphanage once it’s ready.

"I can never forget what my sister wants," Lu Qiang replied.

Lu Lian hugged her brother, "Thank you for not forgetting me and our promise."

Letting her hug him, Lu Qiang patted her head.

Just then, the driver came there with one small shopping bag in his hand, gave it to Lu Qiang, and left.

"This is for you," Lu Qiang gave it to Lu Lian.

Lu Lian opened the gift box. There was one well-carved wooden box, and inside that, there was one palm-size glass cube inside which it had a tiny structural model of the same orphanage.

She held the glass cube over her palm and looked inside carefully, "This is so pretty." She smiled brightly and looked at her brother, "Thank you so much, brother. This is the best birthday gift I ever had."

More than getting the gift from her brother, she was amazed at what was in the gift as her eyes couldn’t get off of that tiny structure.

"I have decided I want to be an architect," she spoke confidently.

Lu Qiang smiled too, "That’s a great idea."

Lu Lian thought for a while about something and said, "I liked how unexpectedly I got my gift when I thought elder brother forgot it. I want it to be like every year when I would be wondering if I’ll get it or not." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelenglish.net . (f)ire

Lu Qiang nodded, "Let’s do it like then," and picked up the wooden box that came along with the gift. "You can write your wish on the paper and put it inside this box before your birthday and wait whether I see that note and you get a gift or not."
