**********************

In the early winter morning, a boy can be seen sleeping on his king size bed comfortably. He has a cute smile on his face, his hair were in mess. He was in deep sleep.

A girl in her mid 20's enters into his room silently, holding a coffee mug in one hand, and some pile of papers in other hand. She went to him and sat beside him.

She smiled seeing the boy face and fixes his messed up hair. The boy frowns in his sleep and changes his position.

That girl sighed, "He again pulled another all-nighter. Damn you.. You Old Man!!" she cursed someone, making cute angry pout.

She noticed that he is in deep sleep and there is no way he will wake up. She too didn't felt like waking him up. So in the end, she left the room, closing back the room doors silently. Disappointment can be seen clearly on her face.

She leaned on the room door and closed her eyes. She sighed heavily, "Li Ming Yue, you are so dead!!" She bit her lower lip and began looking at wall in front of her, thinking something.. very deeply.

"Don't even think to wake him up. He slept just an hour ago. Let him sleep!!" Someone warned her from behind.

Li Ming Yue flinched a little, hearing the voice. She tilted her face to see that certain someone's face.. who disturbed her thoughts.

She make a bad face, "Whatever!!"

"I'm not like you.. First Elder Brother, who makes his Younger Brother pull all-nighter, almost every night. Why?? Because.. I'm not Li Yun. I'm The Li Ming Yue, and I care for my dead tired brother. I'll never wake him up from his deep sleep!!" She scoffed at Li Yun, and left from their, stomping her feet.

Li Yun let out a chuckle seeing his baby sister's face red in anger. He shook his head in disbelief, and glanced at his younger brother's closed room door. He sighed, "Poor Boy!! This time, he really got tired!!"

Li Yun too left from their to coax his angry baby sister. He went to her and saw her cursing their Grandfather under her breath.

He sighed, "Again cursing our old man!!"

He back hugged her and pinched her cheeks. She got irritated and pushed him aside, "Don't pinch me!! I'm angry!!"

Li Yun laughed out loud and hugged her, he calmed her down, "Li Ming Yue.. Calm Down!! We all know, he can't deny Grandpa's order. He is bound to follow his orders, unlike us!!"

"But.. why only him?? Why not us?? Why he has to live like this?? Why only him?? Why??" Li Ming Yue questioned her First Elder Brother with gloomy eyes.

"Because he is.. The Li Jun!!" Li Yun replied, taking his younger brother's name proudly.

"So what?? It doesn't make sense!! That old man always push him to dead end.. Why?? Because he didn't wanted to join family business. So cruel of him!!" Li Ming Yue shouted at her brother.

Li Yun sighed in disbelief, and tried to comfort her but she doesn't listen to him. They started bickering.

"No.. you are wrong!! It was always his choice!!" Li Yun replied, trying to calm down her.

"Whatever!!"

In the end, Li Ming Yue ran away from there, leaving Li Yun frustrated and annoyed.

Li Jun oblivious of his siblings bickering was lost in his dream land. He didn't had any idea that because of him, his siblings almost called out for Third World War.

Sigh..

Poor Guy..

***********************

After leaving the house, Li Ming Yue straight away went to her best friend, Han Ximen's office.

There she complained to him that how her Grandfather again bullied Li Jun, by making him pull another all-nighter. She cursed her own Grandfather very badly.

Han Ximen laughed out loud hearing her curses, "Jesus!! Which grandchild curses their own Grandpa like this??"

"Shut up!! You don't know anything. That old man is such a big schemer. Hmph!!" She cursed him again.

Han Ximen laughed out loud, and she shot a dagger on him. He stopped laughing, and tried to control her anger, "Listen girl, you know how is your Grandpa, then why boil your blood thinking about him, right??"

"But.." Li Ming Yue didn't get to complete her sentence as she got cut off by him in between.

"Just let it be.. Yue!! Li Jun is strong enough to handle all this, and we all know very well why can't he deny your Grandpa's orders. So, just let it go, okay??"

Li Ming Yue bobbed her head sadly, and didn't complained any further. Han Ximen noticed her sadness, and felt bad for his best friend. He knows how much she loves her Second Elder Brother the most, and she really hates it when she saw him working so hard, and pulling all-nighters almost everyday.

He sighed heavily, and quietly sipped his coffee.

"Ahh.. I forgot!!" Li Ming Yue suddenly shouted, remembering something.

"What is it??" Han Ximen got startled by her sudden shout. He almost spilled coffee on his latest Armani suit.

"Just Between Lovers!!" Li Ming Yue replied, busy rummaging her hand bag to find something.

"What? Just Between Lovers?? What's that??" Han Ximen asked confusingly.

Li Ming Yue replied to him with warm smile, "A Heart-Warming Love Story!!"
