Then comes spring when winter ends

*cover is not my picture Jade Lu was brought up by her grandmother, the Matriach of Lu family. Her parents dislike her and thinks she is weird while her siblings saw her as eye sore who took away their grandma's love and attention. Her parents did not know how to deal with Jade who suffers from Asperger's syndrome, a disorder that shows impairment in social and emotional cognition. Under her grandma's support and love, Jade grew up to be beautiful, talented and successful but still socially awkward and a loner. Jade's perfect world crashed when her grandma (Mama Lu) died leaving her all alone in this world along with the Lu business empire. Fate is a strange thing. Just when she thought there is no reason to go on living, she caught the attention of a cold and heartless man. What happens when a socially challenge woman meets an ice cube? Can they find solace in each other presence? Can he protect her from her vicious family members that hated her? Excerpt from one of the chapter in this story: Derek: Then I'll be there. Since that night, I have made my mind up that I'll be wherever you need me to be. Jade: Are you sure, you are the same rumoured Derek Lee, the demon prince, cold, unfeeling, vicious and etc. The list is just too long for me to type out. Oh, I forgot to add, man of few words. From the moment, we met I think you spoke more than I did. You are quite a talker. Are you an imposter? ? Derek : Before this I never met someone like you. Those people that I meet usually don't deserve this side of me. Maybe when a demon meet a demoness the effect is opposite? ? Well, you are one to talk as well, aren't you the ice queen? The one who dislike physical contact but who is it that loves my chest so much? ? Jade: Well.. when an ice cube meets the ice queen in a place like Sahara desert, won't the ice melt? Go to sleep, okay? I am ?. Sweet dreams. another excerpt: "Ok, I accept. Are we friends? You will be my first ever friend then" "To be honest, I want to be more than friends but I'll take it slow but since knowing you I can't help sigh that I am no longer young." She looked at him in disbelief with eyes wide open. "Am I scaring you?" "Mm, you mean to say, you want to be more than friends? Meaning?" "I always wanted to do this" He said as he closed in on her face and his lips met hers when he lifted her chin up and kissed her. He was clumsy because it was his first time and she was as clueless as him. They followed their instinct instead. He slipped in his tongue when she parted her lips and they stopped when accidentally bit his lower lip and tasted the metallic flavour of blood. They were left breathless. "If we were only friends, I am not allow to do that or hold you real close to me..... p/s this is my second attempt at writing, I deleted my first story due to lack of public interest and lack of proper planning on my behalf. however, this story is different because it is definitely more structured and written with an extra passion.

Definitely special

Mama Lu is not a kind person and was never known to be gentle. She hated noise and had never been fond of kids. Her decision to take Jade in was a huge surprise to everyone and it had surprised her at that time too.

The present.

Mama Lu is looking at her eldest grandchild with tender and loving eyes. Who would have known this cold and domineering lady could have this kind of gaze. She laid sickly on her bed while her hands are being held by Jade. "I am sorry my child, I don't think I can last any longer. I am definitely going to miss you. The future is going to be hard because I left everything to you and your family won't be happy about it. They might try and take it away from you forcefully....." she paused to take a deep breath before she continues speaking in her soft frail voice.

"I am sorry for leaving things like this but I don't want my hard work and your late grandpa work to go down the drain. Your father has little business sense and your mother is an air head while your siblings are all unreliable. I don't know how your mom raised them up that they ended up this way " Her speech interrupted by her violent cough. Jade sat there silently by her side while her hands were busy patting and rubbing her Mama Lu chest to comfort her.

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she continued to pat the only person in the world who made her feel that her existence in this world matters. "Aah.. my child, you are crying. I have never seen you shed a tear all these years and I am proud that I am the person you shed your precious tears for and I'm honoured. You are special my child, you gave me a second chance to be a real mother and your are easy to love. Ignore those blind bats. Thanks for giving me a blast 24 years." "Mama... you.. you are the one who gave me life.. not the other way round" "Then, we made a perfect pair, no need to argue until silly regarding this. Let me rest my dear."

Matriach Lu closed her eyes and the past flashes through her mind like a movie playing on 80 inch ultraHD TV.

The first scene that was playing on the big screen was the day she found out her husband death. He was murdered by his own brother but was made to look like an accident. At that time, she just delivered Wen Xin, her daughter and Wen Xin was only 1 month old at that time. She had to cut short her confinement period to manage the company affairs and deal with those scheming siblings. She had to change her personality in a instant, from a pampered wife to a fearless demoness. In this ruthless world, either you conquer or be conquered.

More scenes flashes by in a lightning speed and it stopped at the scene when she first met Jade. She was reminded of her foolish daughter in law screaming profanity to her 3 year old daughter, Jade that was getting more agitated as the clock ticks away. Jade's tiny forehead was already bruising and bleeding. The hired nannies were all acting like headless chicken and the irritating newborn boy was screaming his lungs out with all the ongoing commotion. Those foolish idiots did not realize that the poor lass just wanted peace and quiet. She herself was surprised that she somehow has a vague understanding of that lass. The lass looked so vulnerable and pitifully lonely from the back. After she managed to stop all the ruckus she decided to pretend to leave.

She was shocked that the little girl in the room immediately stopped her self harming behaviour and then started to play rubik's cube and managed to solve it within 1 minute. She remembered saying to herself that this girl is special, definitely special. She remembered sighing because of her son's blindness for failing to spot a gem. She was puzzled when she felt an instant connection to Jade. That was the beginning of her second chance in life and a jump start to Jade's life.

I will release slightly more but not so long chapters in the beginning to get the story rolling. hope the story line is intriguing enough
