Chapter 820 His Decision...
"Are you okay now? Lu Feng asked while getting a glass of water back from Jiang Yuyan.
"I should be the one asking you this," Jiang Yuyan replied.
"I am not yet that weak to get affected so easily," he commented.
There was dead silence for a while, which Lu Feng broke.
"I know why you did it, and somewhere I am to blame. If I knew you would do this, I wouldn't have avoided talking to you. I was just scared, you will ask me to go away, and it will break my heart."
"I should have waited for you," she countered.
"Hmm! Don't listen to my mother, she…."
"Your mother is not wrong this time, but I didn't do it because she asked me to. I did it for your sake. I want you to free yourself from everything and just follow your own path. If you stay here, you won't be able to move ahead in life, and I would be the reason to hold you back as you always leave everything behind and run to help me. I just wished to see you where you deserve to be."
Jiang Yuyan, who never explained the reasons for her actions to anyone, explained it to Lu Feng, and that showed he really mattered to her a lot.
Lu Feng listened to all Jiang Yuyan wished to tell and asked, "So you thought you might make me guilty towards you, and I will end up going away," he concluded.
"Hmm! Knowing you how you are, hurting you was the only way to send you away from me. It hurts to see you love me and caring for me always, but I can't do anything for you."
"You don't need to worry about it because it's my problem," he instructed as he asked, "Since when do you know this?"
"The night in the office when I was sick, and you and brother Yang talked about it in the lounge. I regained consciousness and heard you two talking."
"That blabbermouth brother of yours," Lu Feng mumbled. "Did I scare you earlier?" he asked worriedly, referring to his harsh behavior with her.
She nodded, "Hmm! I didn't know you can be like this too."
"Sorry..."
"But I was sure you won't do anything," she interrupted.
"What if I had?" Lu Feng countered as he finally turned his face to look at her and stared at her.
Jiang Yuyan stayed silent, and Lu Feng chuckled. "I am joking. I can never do anything that can make you feel disgusted."
"It's not that. I never felt disgusted with you, it's just that I can't accept anyone other than Lu Qiang."
Lu Feng continued staring at her as the few words she said, stuck to his mind, and he asked, "You didn't feel disgusted?"
"I didn't," she replied, and this confirmation from her made Lu Feng skip his heartbeat as he felt like to be greedy for the first time.
"Then, can I be selfish at least once?" He asked.
Understanding the meaning and feeling surprised, Jiang Yuyan looked at him, but before she could say anything, her lips got sealed with his.
It shocked her, but she didn't push him away as it would be insulting his genuine feelings towards her and sat like a statue.
It was just a peck on her lips as Lu Feng didn't want her to answer him. If she had said no, then it would have hurt him, and if she had said Yes just considering his feelings, it would have hurt her later. Lu Feng didn't want both things to happen and pecked on her lips.
Parting away from her, he commented, "I think this much reason is enough for me to not show up in front of you anytime soon."
Jiang Yuyan understood he will leave now, and she will lose one precious person in her life. Her eyes turned teary as she was the reason for sending someone away from their family again, Lu Lijun, Nicky, and now Lu Feng.
"Don't feel bad. Though others might misunderstand you, I won't. I know how much hurt you felt whenever you had to be cold towards the one you care for. In return, I can only assure you that I will try my best to do what you are sending me away for," Lu Feng added as he stood up. "I think it's time for me to leave."
Jiang Yuyan stood up to say goodbye to him, and something unexpected happened. This time Jiang Yuyan hugged him while burying her face in his chest as tears rolled down her eyes.
Lu Feng hugged her back and patted her head, " Be strong, and if there is something, you can always come to me."
"Hmm!" Nodding, She let go of him, and Lu Feng pecked on her forehead, "Goodbye!"
Lu Feng left the lounge while Jiang Yuyan didn't stop him. She knew it was the best thing for him if he had to move ahead in life and not be stuck with his unreciprocated love.

Lu Feng went back home to see his mother, who was sitting on the couch. She looked sad and looked like in deep thought.
"Mother!" Lu Feng called, who entered the room but his mother didn't notice.
Hearing him, Su Hui looked at him, "I am not in a mood listen to your complaints and feel hurt again and again, Lu Feng. Do whatever you wish to. From now on, I won't concern what you do." she declared.
"I am here to tell you that I am going to do what you wished for. I am going away from here," Lu Feng informed as he sat next to his mother.
She looked at him surprisingly, and he continued, "You heard it right, mother."
"I wished you to go away for your own sake, but now you have decided, I am not feeling good. Are you going because you are angry with me?" Su Hui said as her eyes turned teary.

Hi dear readers, an apology for making you all worried for me but this time I was sick and couldn't upload the chapters for a few days. I couldn't inform you all in the previous chapter because I thought I would be able to write somehow. This weekend, I will give more chapters, as much as possible. Thank you so much for supporting me.
