During the entire meeting, De Longjun was looking at Zan Guiying. Her expressions..... Shocked..... Surprised... Worried... Her round green eyes moved according to each mode...
Marriage..... Between both of us what do you think about it? Are you ready for it? De Longjun looked at her.
"Grandpa De.... This..... I... But..... But it's so sudden.... I..... I don't know how to answer...." She mumbled.
Does she doesn't want to marry me?! Does she think me as her brother? Then what about your promise? You promised to marry me when you get older... De Longjun clenched his arms.
The meeting continued. During the entire meeting, nobody asked De Longjun anything. Elder De deliberately never spoke to him afraid he will talk something inappropriate.
De Longjun also never said anything. What he wanted was answers from Zan Guiying's mouth.
"The decision lies with our children.... If they don't agree to it, we can continue this as a small lunch." Zan Tengfei pressed his child.
De Longjun noticed her decisive expression. He clenched his arms under the table.
"Daddy..... Grandpa... The meeting and the talk about marriage it too sudden. I never knew this meeting was intended for all these things. So.... Please give me some time..... Can I tell my decision tomorrow?!" She asked.
She said tomorrow. So it meant she still has some consideration towards this marriage alliance. De Longjun sighed heavily.
Their food arrived.
"De Longjun.... Why don't you show the new fish pond installed in the hotel to Zan Guiying?! After all, it's been three years since she left....." Elder Zan nudged.
"As you wish elder Zan...." De Longjun stood up, and looked at her.
Zan Guiying stood up.
They walked silently towards the pond.

"Walk straight and turn to the first right you see." De Longjun instructed her.
She nodded and walked in front of him.
De Longjun followed her. Her wavy hair slowly moved with her each steps. It looked so soft. He wanted to touch it.... De Longjun's hands moved towards her hair.....
Suddenly Zan Guiying looked back.
"To the right. Miss Zan." He took back his hands. Why do I feel guilty?
Miss Zan? Not Yingying? You have really forgotten about us..... You have changed big brother Jun... You changed..... She scoffed inside.
They reached the pond.
Like elder De said, the newly constructed pond was beautiful. There were white, pink and violet waterliles bloomed giving it a colourfull and serene nature....
Zan Guiying looked at the waterliles for sometime. Goldfishes swam between them. She sighed. "Mr. De...." She looked at him and called him softly. "How are you? Its been long since we met..." She stopped. Yes.... Its been three years since we met..... Big brother Jun..... I know you didn't even miss me..... But I missed you..... A lot.... She bit inside her lips to stop the tears that was pooling in her eyes.
Mr. De? "Yes..... Its been three years since we saw.... How have you been.... Miss Zan?" Did you forget about me?
"I am fine. Studies kept me busy." She gave him a short answer.
He nodded. She has been grown up. She is so much beautiful now..... Did she have any relationship abroad? In her young age? Did she get proposals? Did she kiss anyone? De Longjun looked at her lips. His throat felt dry..... He wanted to kiss her.....
He became more mature..... Did he have a girlfriend? After all, he is in his prime..... "Mr. De. We were known for many years. I know you doesn't have feelings for me. This marriage proposal was abrupt. If you have any relationship or doesn't want this marriage to happen you could tell grandpa De. What is your opinion?" She asked.
Stop talking Yingying... De Longjun looked at her moving mouth. "What do you think? Miss Zan?" He slowly walked towards her....
What is he doing? Why is he coming near me? Zan Guiying walked backwards to his each step. Is he a tower? Why is he so tall?
With each step towards her, she could clearly feel their height and body difference.
De Longjun noticed she was moving towards pond.
"Wait!!" He tried to pull her back.
"Aahh!!" Her legs slipped and she began to fall into the pond. Zan Guiying closed her eyes....
But De Longjun grabbed her back. She fell into his chest.... Hard.... His hands tightened around her wrists....
She is small.... If I hug her..... Her whole would be inside my chest..... De Longjun gulped....
She pushed him back and moved away from him. He is really a tower!! My whole body is only upto his chest!! I should wear the highest of high heels to even reach upto his shoulder!! But his chest is... Hard... Firm.... Thoughts poured into her head. "I.... I am sorry!! It was an accident!!" She tucked her hair behind her ears and looked at him.
His hand still grabbing her wrist.... De Longjun looked at her..... He wanted to grab her head and kiss that trembling mouth harder and senseless.... Untill she was out of breath and begging him to stop.... His hand tightened...
'Hiss.....' Zan Guiying twisted her wrists.
He looked at her hands and released her..... Then his hands moved and slowly touched her hair. His fingers combed through her locks..... "Miss Zan.... Do you have a boyfriend?!" He asked slowly....
For three years, he had missed her deeply. But he was afraid.... Afraid that she would be angry at him.... For the past years he had cancelled all buisness trips to Spain, sending his assistants or having a video conference. Because he knew.... He knew if he took a flight to Spain..... He would definitely find her.... Find her and never let her go....
"Bbb.... Boyfriend??? No!! No!!" She shook her head. He is in my personal space!! Personal space!! She trembled.... She could feel his breath above her head... In front of her eyes is his chest..... She could smell the wood scent of him.... She looked down....
De Longjun stopped playing with her hair. "Good." He said.
Just good?!? She looked up.
De Longjun smiled. "Does your wrist hurt?!" He asked.
"No. No!! Its fine!! Thank you for grabbing me!! Otherwise I would have felt down in the pond!!" She waved her hands.
"Then I am leaving. Tell the family." He took a step back from her.
Air rushed to the space. He smiled and turned. "Tell your decision tomorrow. I would be waiting." Walking out, he reminded her.
"Wwhhaatt!! Is he leaving?!" When she looked up, he was gone. I forgot everything!! I wanted to ask why he was angry at me that time!! Haa!! What should I do?? Standing there for sometime, she walked back to her family...
