Her first love (FB)

Five years ago,

Sang Qian was waiting at the airport for someone to pick her up. She was back after a long time in the country, she wanted to surprise her family but she didn't know how to reach there. She was just waiting when she heard a deep voice behind her," Sang Qian?"

She turned around and looked at a tall figure standing behind her dressed in a proper suit. She blinked," Wang Zhao?" Her heart almost skipped a beat, her first love. He had a cold expression but his voice was gentle," I didn't know you were coming back." She smiled," I wanted to surprise everyone, are you going somewhere?"

He raised a brow at her," Home." She sighed," can you drop me on your way back, I mean, I want to surprise them so.." he looked at her once but ended up nodding," ok." His one word answers were adding up to his overall aura. He was 25 yet he was already so successful.

He gestured his assistant to keep her luggage inside and walked to one side of the car. She entered from the other side. Her heart thumped sitting so close to him for the first time. She looked outside the window and her face held a decent smile. Her mind wandering to old days, she knew he was cold and reserved from the start.

She had always wanted to pursue him and she will give her best at it. She will go for what she wants. But she knew she will never be obsessed with him. When she was lost in thoughts she heard his voice ringing in her ears," Why did you give up on your career?" She blinked and looked at him, realizing what his question was she smiled," Nothing, I just wanted to come back here and do something for my family. And I haven't given up yet, I just am going to start from scratch again."

She looked in his eyes that were seeped into hers," Ok." He turned to look outside. She sighed, this long car ride was going to be really boring. She placed her head back and closed her eyes," good night." She mumbled before she dozed off.

Sang Qian was in deep sleep when she felt someone was patting her shoulder. She opened her eyes and they were met with a pair of black orbs. Her heart skipped another beat. She gulped and lifted her head up. His voice reached her ears like a music," We're here. Wake up."

She nodded her head. Fixing her hair she rubbed her eyes and heard a chuckle from his lips. She frowned and looked at him and he pursed his lips clearing his throat. His light laughter made her smile and she stepped out. He followed her inside and made sure her luggage was in before he left after greeting everyone.

Her family was cursing her, praising her and complaining her at the same time enjoying her return. She was finally getting back to her normal routine. She had already started working and bought a new apartment.

A few days passed by since Sang Qian had returned, she hasn't seen him for days now. But she knew she had him on her mind for an exceptionally long time now. She closed the file she held in her hand. She couldn't concentrate on work.

Raising herself from the couch she walked inside her room, changing into a casual attire she decided to go out for a stroll. She had moved in the apartment just a few days back. So she wasn't used to the surroundings and wanted to know it a little better.

Walking outside she locked the door and took a deep breath and then finally she began walking towards the east block. On her way to work, she usually saw people enjoying themselves in the park. She wanted to take a stroll there. She missed being a kid, back then it was so easy to express yourself.

She remembered the time when she would always run after Wang Zhao telling him she wanted to marry him, cause she found his company better. Let's ignore the fact that he never returned her enthusiasm and words but she was still a big fan of his. She had always wanted to be with him since her childhood.

She wasn't obsessed, but he had always had a special soft corner in her heart. She did try moving on but then she returned back to the country and he has been on her mind like forever. She was walking lost in her thoughts and she bumped into someone. She looked up only to see Wang Zhao's black eyes staring at her.

She gulped and stepped back immediately. She was thinking about him but what was he doing here? Wang Zhao eyed her," What are you doing here?" She blinked, her heart skipped a beat out of nowhere and her nervousness clear in her voice," Nothing, I am just taking a stroll." She was nervous as if he could read her mind.

She looked away," What are you doing here by the way?" She frowned all of a sudden when the realization hit her. He was dressed in a casual clothing and not formal attire. He sighed," I live here, so I thought I should take a stroll." Sang Qian nodded," I live in the east Side wing 1." He frowned," We live in the same building."

She chuckled," oh no that can't be, I have been here for a week now." He shrugged. Sang Qian twitched her lips," well, do you want to go for a walk together?" He paused and looked at her. She had always been like this, not much caring about her impression on others. She says what she feels like.

He ended up nodding," I don't mind unless you start pestering me to marry you like you did back then." Sang Qian rolled her eyes," why can't I pester you?" He started walking as he put his hands in his pockets," are you serious? You were not sensible enough back then. We do say some annoying things in our teenage but when we grow older, we realize how stupid it was."

She frowned deeper this time," I don't get your point. When I said I wanted to marry you, it wasn't stupid. I did mean it, and If you ask me I still do." She shrugged casually. He turned to look at her. She was waiting for him to say something. He stopped in his tracks," Marriage isn't something casual and fun. It's something serious and takes commitment. You should always marry someone you love, cause You will have to get through thick or thin with them."

He paused and looked ahead as she continued," You have to make sure that someone gives you weird butterflies, makes your heart flutter. Makes you experience emotions that you never felt before. Someone who you can spend your rest of life without any regrets."

Sang Qian realized," You're very romantic." She didn't even know when she voiced out her thoughts. He scoffed," I am not romantic, Its just that I take the idea of marriage to be respected. I suggest that you should marry someone you love."

Sang Qian held his arm stopping him from walking," Yes exactly. Then I should marry you cause I love you." She wasn't hesitant at all. Wang Zhao on the other hand was frozen on his place. He let out a chuckle," Are you crazy? How can you fall for me just in a few minutes? And is it so easy for you to confess?"

He shook away her hand," I thought you've changed but look at you, you're still immature even when you are 22. It's okay, I hope you will change with time. Realize how stupid you sound confessing to me as a joke."

His face turned cold and before she could say anything he walked away. She let his words sink in. Zero sincerity? She had loved him since she was a child, and he took it as a joke. But yes, she was a kid back then so he might have not taken her seriously.

But is there a way she could prove to him how much she had loved him?

Wang Zhao sighed as he entered his apartment, he was in deep thoughts. How can she just confess like that. Back then she used to tell him that she would marry him but it's time for her to grow up. And she didn't even take his words seriously. She thought he was joking when he said he wanted to marry someone he loved.

He just then got a call from his father," You have a meeting with Sang Qian tomorrow related to her newly launched brand." He twitched his lips," Ok dad." The call was cut from the other end and he knew he had no other option than to deal with it.

He wasn't much bothered about it, things were still okay between them. He can simply ignore it like nothing happened. He frowned when he remembered something, his new secretary hasn't got back to him yet. He pulled out his phone dialling her number.

He heard a sleepy voice," Hello!" He froze and a frown formed on her face. He cleared his throat," Miss Mi Chan, wake up!" Just then he heard a shocked voice," I am sorry sir, But why did you call me?" He sighed getting slightly irritated," What about the paperwork I told you to get me. Bring it to me right away. I am sending you my address. We have an important meeting tomorrow."

He ended the call, that girl is so careless. After a few minutes he heard his door bell ring, he walked to the door. He opened it just to see Mi Chan dressed in a casual attire. He sighed, her face clearly showed that she was sleeping. He remarked irritatingly," You even washed your face before heading here?" She pursed her lips," Ofcourse!" Her voice was raised slightly and it was cute how she easily got irritated.
