Shi went to meet his dad in their room. He wanted talked about the announcement that was made by his dad .

" What is it son you haven't sleep yet?..do you have anything to ask me?." Mr Chao asked seeing Shi coming inside.

" Dad!! Don't you think it's not nice to force Li Luo for the marriage. She loved Ka Sou..." Said Shi but was cut off in between by Mr Chao.

" What about you?... Don't you love Li Luo?" He asked looking at Shi. Shi was shocked by sudden question from his dad " what!!! Tell me don't you love her? Don't you want her to be your wife? " Mr Chao questioned Shi.

" D..Dad. I..I... " Shi couldn't reply became nervous thinking how his dad  knows about it.

" Son I'm your dad. I can sense my son's feelings. I know you love Li Luo very much and you have waited for her for two years" Mr Chao said by giving a slight smile.

" Dad how did you know about it" Shi asked by giving an questioning look.

" When you was crying on your room expressing your broken heart.. I was standing beside your room door and heard everything. I feel sad for you that time as I can't help you. But now since Ka Sou have choosen property over Li Luo. He don't deserve her. So I thought to give Li Luo's hands to the rightful hand. " Mr Chao said holding Shi Shoulders.

" Whattt!!!.. ge choose property over Li Luo.. I can't believe it. I thought ge love Li Luo very much. " Shi became very disappointed on his Ge.

" You love her right?.. This is the right time win back your love. I know she is hurt, heartbroken and lost trust in love. It's your exam now to pass it. How you will heal her wounded heart, how you will win her heart and the trust she lost on love have to rise again which will very hard. " said Mr Chao .

"Dad I dunno how I will do it I fear if she hate me cause I'm her ex-boyfriend's brother. If she thinks I will hurt her too as ge and what if she reject me for the marriage." Said Shi

" So are you giving up before trying?" Mr Chao asked Shi

" No dad I will never give up without trying. I will win her heart." Said Shi looking confidently to his dad.

" That's my boy!!..I will also help you on it but before that we have to convince Li Luo to marry you for her good future and to stop people from bad mouthing about her." Said Mr Chao. He hugged Shi.

" Ok dad I go to sleep now goodnight" saying so Shi left the room and head to his room to sleep. He thought to go and meet Li Luo in morning.

Early in the morning Yanda wake up and clean the room . After done with her daily routine she went to the kitchen to make breakfast. Later Yanda came to check Li Luo who was still sleeping so she didn't wake up her and let her rest more. Just then doorbell ring. She went to check. Yanda is shocked to see the person standing .

" Shi what are you doing here so early in the morning." Yanda questioned looking him from head to toe.

" I came to talk with Li Luo... How is she now?" Shi asked Yanda with soft voice

" How could she be when your brother so brutally broken her heart. She keep crying whole night just few hours ago she fall asleep. And If you want talk her about yesterday conversation then I don't think it's good idea to talk now as she is not in good stage of mind. " Yanda said sadly.

Shi became very sad knowing Li Luo's condition and tears can be seen in his eyes. Yanda notice it and decided to talk with Shi . She closed the door and pulled him to her garden. There is a sitting room to enjoy the garden view.

" Shi!!! .. why I feel there is something going on in your mind for my best friend." Yanda asked by crossing her arms.

"Aahh... No no it's nothing" Shi got bit nervous from Yanda's sudden question.

" Come on don't lie anymore I can clearly see that day when you first time visited my cafe you didn't like your brother touching Li Luo and you got jealous very much.. tell me what's going on." Yanda asked

" I.. I think you just misunderstood" Shi said looking down

" Really??... Then while ago why did you cry on my door and yesterday too cried holding your chest seeing Li Luo in pain. Why were you so angry when people were bad mouthing about her as gold digger you nailed your hand which bleeded I saw myself ... Come on tell me the truth now. If you tell I might help you." Yanda said looking at Shi.

Shi know he can't escape from Yanda so he decided to tell her everything. After hearing everything from Shi , Yanda give a smirk to him.

"Yesss... I knew it!!!.. I knew it from from the day I saw you that you love Li Luo but I want to hear it from your mouth. I will help you to be close to Li Luo but you need to give her little time as her heart just yesterday broken by your bastard brother. I will talk with her first then I will let you know. Today you go home." Yanda said with a smile. Shi nodded and left for his home. Yanda then came inside the house to see Li Luo and saw she is awake but still laying on the bed.

" Li Luo... You wake up already" Yanda came near her and sit beside her.

" Yanda... I feel so empty, lonely and lost hearted." Li Luo said with cracked voice.

" You are not alone ,I'm with you and I will always be there for you. Never think you are alone or nobody there for you." Yanda said holding Li Luo's hand.

" Yanda.. tell me why you always call Ka Sou heartless." Li Luo looked at Yanda.

" To tell you truth I never liked or trusted Ka Sou from very first day. He is too ambitious for his goals. I always thought that he might hurt you someday but never expected he will hurt you like yesterday." Yanda said looking sadly at Li Luo " I'm sorry I couldn't stopped you from falling in love with that jerk . But even I have stopped you would you have listened to me that time cause you was so blind in love."

"Yes you are right... I was too blind in his fake love. Don't blame yourself yanda. It's my fault to so easily trust him." Li Luo said start crying again.

" Listen Li Luo you can't keep crying for someone who don't value you. He already move on with that rich bitch. You too must move on now. He really don't deserve you. Stay strong, make them wonder how you are still happy and smiling. Promise me Li Luo you will not shed tears for jerk like Ka Sou. " Yanda said holding Li Luo hand tightly.

" I will try to move on Yanda I promise I will not shed tears for him  but I need little bit of time to make myself strong again. " Li Luo said looking at Yanda.

" Take your time Li Luo... I will always by your side." Yanda nodded her head while saying.

" Yanda what do you think about Mr Chao marriage proposal that he announced yesterday? " Li Luo asked.

" I think you must keep the request of Mr Chao. He risk his reputation to protect you from people's bad mouthing about you. And you always see him as a father so I think you can trust him on his decision. I feel Mr Chao has taken right decision." Yanda said by giving a smile hoping for a yes.

"I know uncle Chao have risked his reputation for me. But Yanda just think how can I stay in the same roof with that Ka Sou and his wife. I don't think I can move on seeing them everyday. And about Shi I don't want be forcefully put on his shoulder as garland. What if Shi have a girlfriend and I became an obstacle for them ruining their relationship. How we both will be happy when we don't know each other nor love each other" Li Luo asked so many questions to Yanda at once.

" What if he love you and wish to marry you too" Yanda asked

" But I don't love nor can trust anybody after yesterday incident. And do you think he will ever love me knowing I was his brother's ex-girlfriend. " Li Luo asked.

" Then give a chance to Shi and yourself to know each other. "  Yanda pleaded.

" What if he too broke my heart like his brother " Li Luo asked Yanda

" If you don't give a chance how you will move on or know each other. So you have to give him a chance atleast for Uncle sake whose reputation is on your hand now " Yanda reminded Li Luo.

"Ok for Uncle's sake I will give Shi a chance and also think about the marriage proposal." Li Luo said.

Yanda was very happy on Li Luo for giving a chance to Shi.

After two days

Shi went meet Li Luo in their rent house with bunch of flowers. Yanda opened the door and let him sit on the living room. She then went to call Li Luo. Both came downstairs.

" Hi... Li Luo I hope you feeling little better now." Shi asked looking at her and gave her the flower bunch.

" Yes I'm trying to move on. " Li Luo said and took the flower bunch from Shi.

" That's good " Shi smiled at her " Li Luo I know you are not ready for the marriage nor trust anyone but my dad reputation is on your hand . I will still won't force you for the marriage. I know my dad will be hurt,his reputation will be harmed and his trust for you will be broken but it's your life nobody will force you on it. You can choose your partner but if you give me a chance to know each other after marriage I would love to take the chance " Shi said looking at Li Luo.

" I think Shi is right. You must atleast give a chance so that you too move on Li Luo. And uncle have already accepted you as Daughter-in-law infront of the guests. I trust uncle and  Shi. I think you must accept the marriage proposal and keep uncle request as he took that decision for your happiness and bright future " Yanda said to help Shi on convincing Li Luo for the marriage. They have already planned on it in the morning.

" But how can I stay in same roof with your brother and his wife. How can I move on." Li Luo asked Shi .

" Don't worry on it Li Luo after marriage we will be living in my mansion. Dad already talked with me about it. So you will not have to face them . And there we can give a chance to know each other." Shi said with a smile. Shi was already prepared on it as Yanda have already told him about Li Luo insecurities.

"So Li Luo do you want to give a chance on yourself and me and this marriage" Shi asked with eyes full of Hope .

" Say yes Li Luo... I trust him " Yanda whispered to her .

" O..okay I will accept this marriage proposal for Uncle sake , I trust uncle and I can't hurt him and about the chance I will think on it. " Li Luo said looking other side.

Shi was very happy within. ....Finally I got you Li Luo. I'm happy you accepted the marriage and soon you will be my wife. If you give a chance I will saw you how much I love you, how precious you are to my life and I will always keep you happy ever...

"Ok since you accepted the marriage proposal I will let dad know about it. He will be very happy. Thank you for keeping my dad's request. I will be leaving now see you on my brother's  marriage ceremony. Here is the invitation. " Shi put the invitation on the table.

" Im not coming in the marriage ceremony." Li Luo said frowning.

" I know it's hard but dad and mom want you to come in the marriage ceremony" said Shi .

" I can't I'm sorry ..  please don't force me to attend it." Li Luo became sad.

Shi felt pain in his heart seeing Li Luo sad. " Ok nobody will force you. I'm sorry if it hurts you." Shi said looking down.

To divert the awkward moment Yanda said " hey you both going to be married soon so.. don't you want be atleast friends come on why not give each other phone numbers to talk so that you both know each other a bit before marriage." Yanda said by giving a wink to both . Shi got the hint.

" Aahh yeah yeah you right Li Luo can I have your number please so we start knowing each other by talking more." Shi said taking his phone out from his pocket.

Li Luo shared her number with Shi . After that Shi bide them goodbye and  head for his mansion. On his way home he call his dad.

" Dad Li Luo accepted the marriage proposal but only for your sake not for me... " Shi became little sad which Mr Chao can feel it.

" Don't worry son let this marriage happen first then you can try your chance to win her heart. I'm sure she will give a chance to the marriage. Be patience  son ". Mr Chao said

" Mm.. I know dad..I will try my best to win her heart and trust . I love her alot dad. But dad I couldn't convince her to attend ge's marriage ceremony." Shi said in little sadness

" But it's very important for her to attend this marriage ceremony as I'm going to announce your wedding day. I will talk with her. You don't worry son." Mr Chao said to Shi.

" Ok dad I'm happy atleast she will be my wife soon. I will never let her go.' Shi said happily.

" That's my boy... Come home we need to talk lots of discussion. " Mr Chao said happily.

" On my way dad" saying so Shi cut the call.
