Chapter 957 We Are Even Now...

Mr. Wong came to the workshop to see how the two were working. It was about to be evening, and the two young people didn't budge from the work. 

Ming Rusheng was quietly fixing the things in the model house while Lu Lian was still working on the blueprint.

"This guy, he could just return home but finding excuses to stay here and claim he doesn't like her," Mr. Wong mumbled, standing at the entrance of the workshop and observing the two. 

Mr. Wong entered, and the two noticed him. Lu Lian stood up from her place to greet Mr. Wong while Ming Rusheng kept sitting and resumed his work as if Mr. Wong's presence was nothing special. 

Mr. Wong signaled Lu Lian to sit and asked, "I hope I'm not disturbing you two."

Understanding the hidden meaning, Ming Rusheng glared at the older man, to which Mr. Wong smiled lightly while Lu Lian didn't get the underlying meaning.

"Not at all, Mr. Wong," she spoke, smiling pleasantly. 

Ming Rusheng observed how she smiled, looking at Mr. Wong and thought, 'Never smiled at me like this event after I helped her.'

Mr. Wong was familiar with Ming Rusheng and how he behaved over something, so it didn't go unnoticed by Mr. Wong. 

Stepping towards Lu Lian, Mr. Wong checked the blueprint she was creating.

"Seems like you don't need my help much. You are doing good," said Mr. Wong.

"Without Mr. Wong's guidance, it wouldn't be possible," she countered and added, "Mr. Ming helped me too."

"Learning from him, it's the same as learning from me," Mr. Wong commented and lowered his voice as he signaled Lu Lian to come closer, "Let me tell you a secret."

Lu Lian went closer to hear him and Mr. Wong whispered, "He is even better than me."

"Huh?" Moving back a little, she looked at Mr. Wong and then looked at Ming Rusheng, who was busy working. As she looked back at Mr. Wong, he assured, "Trust me." 

It was not like Lu Lian doubted Ming Rusheng's capabilities as she had herself witnessed how talented he was and how easily he solved her problems that she found difficult. But when the legend himself said Ming Rusheng was better than him, it showed how much Mr. Wong trusted in Ming Rusheng's ability.

Lu Lian was curious about Ming Rusheng as she felt he was not what she had known him till now. There was more to him that he hid from everyone, his other secret side.

"You two have to spend the night here," Mr. Wong informed that pulled Lu Lian out of her thoughts. 

Lu Lian looked at her wristwatch, "It's not that late yet. I can finish and return in an hour."

"You can't because it's gonna be the rain, and driving in the dark can be dangerous in this hilly area," Mr. Wong informed.

"Rain? It's summer and doesn't seem like it will rain…."

"It will, soon," Mr. Wong added.

Lu Lian checked outside, and she felt like there was no sign of Rain. Looking at the dimly lit sky where the sun was about to disappear, she spoke, "Sky looks clear...."

"If the old man says it's going to rain, then it will," Ming Rusheng spoke.

"But…" Lu Lian tried to speak.

"If you want to return, then I'll drop you," said Ming Rusheng seeing how unwilling she was to stay there. 

"No need. I'm a good driver," Lu Lian commented as she felt he doubted her driving skills. 

"I know, but I'm more familiar with the area," Ming Rusheng countered. 

"As I came here myself, I know the area too," she spoke as the argument started to heat up.

Ming Rusheng glared at her coldly and declared, "Either you are going with me or staying here."

"You can't order me like this," she retorted.

Ming Rusheng stood up, "Will see how you can return when your car is not working."

"What?" she exclaimed. 

Ming Rusheng stepped out of the workshop, and Lu Lian understood he was up to something. 

She followed Ming Rusheng and warned, "You dare touch my car."

Ming Rusheng didn't stop and continued walking. 

Mr. Wong, who didn't disturb the two arguing people, continued looking at them standing at the door of the workshop, "This stubborn guy, already behaving like a possessive man," Mr. Wong sighed and looked at the sky, "This fight reminded me of our old days. I wish you were still with me to argue like this."

Soon the two young people reached where the cars were parked, and Ming Rusheng stepped towards Lu Lian's car. 

He crouched down on the ground in front of one backside wheel of the car, his one knee resting on the ground while the other one folded up as his one hand rested on the car.

"Hey, you can't do this," Lu Lian shouted, understanding what Ming Rusheng was up to. 

Ignoring her, Ming Rusheng pulled out a small pin-like metal from his pocket. Not thinking even for a moment, he did what he was there for.

SHHHHHH!!

"You…" Lu Lian was burning with anger but didn't come to use bad words to curse him. 

She crouched down and held his hand before he could empty all the air from the car's tyre.

Ming Rusheng had to stop as Lu Lian held his hand tightly. He looked at his hand and then looked at the angry woman who glared at him as if she would kill him the very moment. 

She was so close to him, and he found it amusing seeing her red face that made his heart flutter, thinking how adorable she looked.

"Don't touch my car," she warned angrily as she gritted her teeth. 

Ming Rusheng pulled his hand that she held tightly, and the distance between them disappeared the next moment. 

In reflex of losing balance in kneeling condition, her hands rested on his shoulder to stop herself from falling over him. 

She was shocked with it but didn't let go of her stand, "I said, Don't touch my car."

Staring into her eyes closely, he spoke in a low voice, "I don't mind replacing the car with you."

She frowned, "You pervert," and pushed him back to go away from him. "You just wait," she warned and went towards his car. 

Pulling out the hairpin from her hair, she crouched down in front of his car's tyre.

SHHHHHH!!

She did what Ming Rusheng did with her car, emptying the air from the tyre. 

Ming Rusheng smiled and let her do it until she emptied it completely. 

Looking at her car's tier, which had no air, and then looking at Ming Rusheng's car's tyre, she spoke, "Now we are even."

"And now we can't return," Ming Rusheng commented as he smirked.

Lu Lian realized what she had done in anger, and now they don't have either of a car to return, but she didn't wish to accept the defeat. 

"I don't mind staying here. I like the place." Declaring angrily, she turned to leave. 

"If you had agreed before, our cars wouldn't have to suffer," Ming Rusheng said.

"Whatever." 

She left, and Ming Rusheng could only look at the retreating back of this adorable woman who never stopped herself from showing her anger to him.

Feeling angry, Lu Lian went towards the garden and sat and on the wooden bench. She tried to calm herself but then realized it's the same wooden bench where he teased and pulled her towards him. 

She was angry but when she remembered those moments when she was so close to him and the way he looked at her, her heart started to beat faster. 

Placing her hand on her chest, she cursed, "What the fuck!" 

Leaning forward, she sat her head lowered down and ran her fingers through heir frustratingly as if she would pull her hair soon.

Just then she felt something moist and cold touching her skin and she looked up.

"Rain?"

'So it was the truth. 'Why it had to be rain today? Now I have bear with seeing that airheaded man around.' she thought and that slow raindrop turned into faster ones.'

She didn't wish to budge from there as the anger took over her and the raindrops continued to drench her dress slowly as she preferred to sit there and closed her eyes. 

In a while, she felt rain stopped and opened her eyes. The rain was there but then how?
