"Wouldn't that make me sound a bit desperate? And what if he doesn't like me like I do? I don't want someone to turn me down after I shamelessly blurt out my feelings." Linyang explained.

Shrugging her shoulders, Yumi answered, "Worth a shot."

"I agree with Yumi, you won't know unless you don't give it a shot."

Thinking for quite some time, Linyang got up and grabbed her coat. "Alright, I am off to blurt my heart out or may he give him some kind of a hint."

"You go girl," Mian chuckled.

Linyang smiled and rushed out of the room, she wanted to see Andrew and tell him how she feels about him. She had never been in a very serious relationship because she had never felt like she feels for Andrew with anybody else. He was very special to her and his presence made her feel very loved.

After she left, Mian asked Yumi, "I heard that aunt Yurin came looking for you today."

"Wow news travels faster than light in this house," Yumi chuckled.

"Zian told me about it and he was very mad over it."

Yumi sighed and nodded her head, "Hmm he was really very mad. In fact, her presence affected him more than it affected me."

"Yeah, I think he was more worried about you than mad," Mian explained.

"I know but there is nothing to worry about, I mean, she means nothing to me and I don't really care what happened in the past. I just know that I belong here with mom, dad and you guys. Nothing can change the fact that I am a Li."

Giving her a hug, Mian smiled, "Yes and I cannot wait to be a part of your loving family officially."

Pulling away, Yumi requested, "Can we please not tell Zixin about it? I don't want him to panic unnecessarily."

"Hmm actually, Zixin already knows about it and is coming back tomorrow."

"Really? I guess by now everyone knows about it." When Mian nodded her head, Yumi groaned in frustration. "People in this house need to learn how to keep things to themselves."

"You think what you are doing is cool?" Michael asked.

"Doing what?"

Massaging his forehead, Michael sighed, "You know what I am talking about Andrew." When Andrew did not say anything, he added, "I have told you this before and I am telling you this again, either you forget about the whole taking revenge thing or you forget about having something with Yang Linyang."

"Why do I have to let go of anything? And what does my plan on taking revenge have to do anything with Linyang? She is a Yang and I need to take care of the Li's and Mo's"

"Can you even hear yourself? The problem is that Lingyang is a Yang and what the fuck makes you think that she will forgive you or even want to see you if she learns about all of this?" Michael hissed.

Pausing for a while, he added, "Listen to me Andrew, this whole revenge thing is really very stupid. You don't have anything to do with it, you are not even related to it for God's sake. Why don't you just let everything go and cut that man out of your life?"

"You know that I can't, I—" Andrew stopped midway when Micheal suddenly placed his hand on his arm and gestured him to stop.

Following his gaze, he turned towards the door only to find Linyang standing by the door.

Hoping that she hadn't heard anything, he smiled at her.

Taking a deep breath, she slowly made her way towards him. "What were you guys talking about?"

"I‐It's nothing important, we were just discussing business."

Letting out a mocking chuckle, she snapped, "I wonder how you do this."

Awkwardly clearing his throat, Michael excused himself but she stopped him. "You don't have to go anywhere because we are done talking."

Grabbing her hand, Andrew tried to explain himself. "Linyang listen to me I—"

Cutting him off, she snapped harder, "Are you really planning to explain why you are plotting against my family? Are you hoping to convince me that you are right?"

"It's not your family, your family has nothing to do in this and—"

"The Li's are my family too and so are the Mo's." Looking at him with teary eyes, she added, "Just when I thought that you were the one, you turned out to be a jerk and a liar."

Slowly jerking his hand off, she said, "I don't want to be associated with anyone who wants to harm my family." Wiping her tears, she chuckled, "I feel so stupid for loving a liar and cheater like you."

"Linyang please—"

"From today onwards, you and I have nothing to do with each other. I don't want to see your face ever again, I regret meeting you Andrew but more than that, I regret falling for you." Without waiting for his reply, she walked out of the room.

"Dude, you should go after her," Michael urged. He knew how much Andrew adored and loved Linyang, this is also the reason why he wanted him to let go of everything and lead a happy life with her but who would've thought that Linyang would find it out so soon.

"She hates me Michael, she hates me." Andrew muttered.

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Michael placed his hand on Andrew's shoulder. "Maybe Jenni is right, it's time for you to let go of the past and cut that man out of your life. You have done more than enough for him. You have already lost your sister and Linyang, do you think all of this is worth it?"

Sitting beside him, he continued, "I know you man, in fact, I know you better than you do. I know you aren't bad or evil, you have a very good heart and you shouldn't let anything overshadow the goodness and kindness in you. I think it's high time you take major steps and do what is right."
