First love.

"His name was Shao Sanzhang. Even though I always called him Bao Bao, and always irritated him" Yu Yan took on a far away look with a slight smile on her drunk face.

"How old were you when this happened?" Miguel asked distractedly playing with his phone.

"Hmm...I met him when I was around 5 or 6 years old, up until I was 11. But I only realised I loved him years later.If that makes any sense" She drank again, swaying a little.

"Ewwww...Child love?That's not even a serious thing.Isnt it just an infatuation?" Shi Chongkun said out rage for Li Jun's sake.

"Hmmm...I guess for others but it wasn't like that for me. He saved my life" It had been real for her. An anchor in her life when she desperately needed one.

"So then what happened?" Miguel said dropping his phone inside his front pocket.

Yu Yan rested her heavy head on her palms and continued to answer robotically.

"One day his relatives came to pick him up from the orphanage.Later, I also left with my uncle. We got separated" She shrugged.

" So how did he save your life?" Murong Jian questioned.

she smiled.

"He rescued me from the orphanage.... He saved me everyday.."

"But I thought it was your uncle who came to pick you" Shi Chongkun asked confused.

"He wasn't really my uncle. It was Sanzhang who had paid him to pick me up from the orphanage" Yu Yan was speaking a lot tonight. Alcohol had loosen her tongue and she also wanted to talk tonight.

"I don't understand? I thought u said u never met again after he left the orphanage.." Murong Jian glanced at her as he took a sip.

"We didn't...." She sighed heavily, feeling drowsy now. "He told me before he left that he would come back for me but he never did. I waited but realised it was foolhardy to keep waiting for someone who never reached out to me again... also, I didn't want to tie him with a childish's promise. So, I let him go" She shrugged again.

"I have so many questions but I don't know where to start" Murong Jian said.

"Then we are the same" Yu Yan whispered..not looking as drunk.

" I mean he has to be a kid too so how come?.." Shi Chongkun wondered.

Yu Yan had her head down lifelessly. But lifted it up to speak again.

" I don't know either. The last time I saw him he promised me that he would be back for me soon. More than ten years have passed and he is still not back... he must have already married by now" She was talking in circles, a clear sign of her

inebriation.

"Does that make you sad?" Miguel asked focusee like an interviewer.

"Why should it make me sad? I am happy if he is happy" Yu Yan tilted her head from side to side .

"But what if he is not happy and wants you back?" Miguel asked in a clear voice.

" What do you mean by that?" Yu Yan slurred.

"I meant, would you leave your husband and go back to him?"

Shi Chongkun and Murong Jian were so interested in the discussion that they looked only from one person to another as they spoke.

Yu Yan laughed.

"That's ridiculous, why would I do that when I am already happily married and I bet Shao Sanzhang is happily married as well."

"Hmmm" Miguel smiled vaguely. "But do you miss him? After all he did a lot for you"

"Hey?" Shi Chongkun yelled at his friend.

"Yes, sometimes. I wouldn't be alive today if not for his help. I want to thank him when I see him..if I ever see him" Yu Yan had a bitter sweet smile on her prettily flushed face.

" By the way Mr Miguel Ty, Why are you so curious?" Li Jun said from the door. His eyes hiding an undercurrent.

Li Jun walked heading straight for Yu Yan's previous seat and pulled her away from beside Murong Jian to sit on his lap.

The jelly-bodied Yu Yan got pulled harshly and sat down without any objections.

" I don't mean anything by it mr Li, the conversation unwittingly turned this direction.I hope you don't mind" Miguel Ty smiled.

"I don't mind.There is nothing to mind , is there?Though I am very curious about your interest in my wife's past life" Li Jun studied him.

"Exactly, There is nothing to mind. It happened when Yan Yan was too young. It was probably more out of gratitude than love..puppy love" Shi Chongkun said to calm Li Jun.

"She is an interesting woman, I just wanted to know a little about her. " Miguel laughed as he took out his phone to press something and put it in his pocket.

The sweating Shi Chongkun was ignored.

"One of the reasons I married her" Li Jun answered Miguel's first statement. Calmly, Li Jun pried the glass in Yu Yan's hand away and emptied it down his own throat .

"But it surely must hurt to know that you were not her first love, doesn't it?" Miguel seemed to want to incite the man in front of him.

Li Jun had a sly smile on his devilishly handsome face as he placed the glass gently onto the table.

"I assure you, Mr Miguel Ty, I am the first and I will be the last. The men in her past were just innocent diversion. Isn't that true, Yu Yan?" He shook her gently to wake her.

"Huh?" Yu Yan said lifting her head.

"I asked if what I said was true?" He gently tucked away her errant hairs under her pink ear.

She nodded in compliance. She hadn't heard him.

"Good girl" He patted her head. " What a good girl you are" He whispered gritting his teeth.

"What about you Mr Li? Is she your first love?"

"What a juvenile question Mr Miguel Ty. But I will answer you regardless. Yes, she is indeed my first love....and my last" Li Jun said lightly. How could someone like him marry anyone else other than who he truly loved?

"Eh, Jun, Is right. And their pasts shouldn't matter when they are already married" Murong Jian said joining in.

" Really... I don't know why you have to talk about such things..never ask about Li Jun's past life in front of Yan Yan. Don't you know that Yu Yan has a complex against other women? She is a fiercely- jealous type of woman..dont even talk about other girls" Shi Chongkun scolded Miguel as he noticed Yu Yan was already asleep in Li Jun's arms.

"Really?" Miguel Ty said intrigued.
