Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

"I can't believe you are getting married!!" Fan Ruyi came trotting in her high heels and teased Su Lang.

"Come on Ruyi, you can get married, I cannot? This is not fair!" Su Lang rolled his eyes. All the friends were sitting at the Moonlight Bar once again. It had been five years.

After the whole incident with Yu family, everyone had decided to fast track their education and graduate within three years rather than four, so that they could focus on handling their family businesses.

It was an unusual period of lull for everyone, especially since Mei Qingyang had disappeared overnight. Most of them had blamed her for being too cruel but Yu Tian knew what had really happened. He had actually made peace with it.

"Hmph! I did get married to Feng Yue, so what? My love call was finally answered. Why would I not take advantage of it?" Saying this, she nudged her husband, who stifled his laughter.

Once Mei Qingyang was out of his sight, he finally opened up to Fan Ruyi who was like a constant presence in his life. She was one aggressive woman, she did not let any other female flick even a shadow in his life. While some could call it toxic, he started finding it endearing. Ultimately, he decided to give them a chance and he ended up falling for her.

They got engaged within a year of officially dating and got married a year later, much to the delight of Fan and Feng elders. The whole town was invited on their grand wedding which went over for almost a week. Two years later, the people of M nation still talked about their ceremony.

Su Lang had finally realized his feelings for his assistant and the girl who was always hesitant about her status had finally let go of her apprehensions, taking inspiration from Mei Qingyang. It did take some time for her to get used to it. Which was why it took almost five years for them to take the final step.

"And why did you guys have to call me and my wife when she needs to be in bed, resting," Xu Yang stroked the protruding belly of Wei Qiqi. They were in second trimester, and Xu Yang was not happy to be called, that too in a bar. What if the smell made his wife sick?

Wei Qiqi giggled due her henpecked husband's behavior. "It's okay. You have been making me sit in the house all this while. It is a good change of pace," she sipped the juice she was served.

"Are you sure this is okay to drink? Chen Jie, you should get her something warm," Xu Yang took the glass from his wife's hand and inspected it with his hawk eyes.

"My God Xu Yang, I would have never thought you would be such a worrywart. I understand it's your first child, but you this is way too much, okay?" Chen Jie toasted to the heavily pregnant girl.

They all had formed a close knit group by now. They were probably all bound by Mei Qingyang's absence.

"What about Jie? Who is the one in your life?" Fan Ruyi asked.

"Hmm… my dream guy is right there but I have been trying to get him out of the rut. But that saintly guy, don't know what kind of meditation he is practicing, he just does not get enticed by my charms. I feel so lonely," she thumped her head on the table. Sigh! Finding love was just too hard.

"Why did Tian not join?" Feng Yue posed the question to the group.

"He must be busy with his kids somewhere," Su Lang, who was celebrating his Bachelor Party currently, shrugged his shoulders. Since Mei Qingyang had left, the greatest impact obviously happened to Yu Tian.

Su Lang sighed. No one could understand the reason behind Mei Qingyang's decision.

"Oh, by the way, did you know there is a CEO has been appointed at Yu Empire?" Su Lang informed everyone.

"Well, after Yu family fell down, the Yu Tian became the president of the company. But the CEO's seat was kept empty for so long. Now that we are not shareholders, we don't even attend their board meetings and everything. But I wonder who is taking the role on. I heard they are the youngest CEO appointed till now," Feng Yue also chimed in.

Everyone kept discussing the everyday news and stuff.

In other corner of the school, which had now become an open campus, Yu Tian was playing with a few kids.

"Uncle Tian, uncle Su is getting an auntie, when are you getting one?" one of the kids asked the guy innocently, blinking her large eyes, quite similar to his beloved except the green color.

Yu Tian picked up the kid in his arms and touched her nose with his finger, "You have become quite c.o.c.ky lately, asking your uncle such questions." The girl burst out in peel of laughter when the guy tickled her.

He put her down after some time and stared in space. There was not a moment when he did not miss his kitten. Although it was the time for emails and phone calls and text messages, she only sent postcards from somewhere different every time so that he could not trace her.

He had initially tried looking for her everywhere. But after he got a few more lectures from Bai Yuchen, he had stopped. The only thing that kept him going till now was her letter promising him that she would come back, and her postcards.

He sighed to himself. "Do you miss me as much as I do too Qing Qing?" he mumbled.

"Tian! Why don't you come join us for bachelor party? We have been missing you dude!" Su Lang came from behind and put his arm around Yu Tian's neck. "Kids, stop bothering your uncle and go play by yourselves, okay?"

"Lang, I think I will pass. The new CEO is coming tomorrow. He and Bai Yuchen are coming together," Yu Tian massaged his forehead. Having delegated most of his work to his carefully selected executives, he had put much time in getting the school back in shape. The whole system of rich and poor was abolished and the education till high school was made free for everyone.

Yu Empire had enough money to support anyway. Other big companies also donated huge sums of monies as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility programs.

"He? For once I had thought that if Bai Yuchen is bringing in someone it could be Qing Qing. Guess I was wrong," Su Lang also sounded disappointed.

"He won't do that. There are still almost eight months in her five years getting over. I don't think he will send her back this soon," Yu Tian replied coolly, as if it did not bother him at all.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="/book/falling-dreams-rising-hopes-saving-mr.-boyfriend_16077138105820405/five-years-later_50124310685208271">/book/falling-dreams-rising-hopes-saving-mr.-boyfriend_16077138105820405/five-years-later_50124310685208271</a> for visiting.

But only Yu Bufan knew how his master would wake up each day and cross the day in the five year calendar he had prepared. He had been counting days since day 1, while just getting involved in charity. He had seemed to have given up on worldly possessions.

"Oh yeah, today you have that save environment initiative press conference no?" Su Lang changed the topic.

"Yeah, I have to go near the river. They are doing some cleaning drive over there, and we are also testing the new water bodies cleaning up machine as well. I will go get ready. I will, may be, join you guys after that event?" Yu Tian replied and left to get ready.

A few older kids were experimenting on something in another part of the garden.

"Oh Tian, strolling again?" Bai grandpa waved his hand from the gate of the library which had now expanded double fold to its original size.

"Grandpa, how many times I have to tell you to retire?"

"Even after retirement, this is my home. How can I go away from here? Then, why not work while I am at it?"

"As long as this feels as home to you," both of them grinned. Yu Tian had also gained an elder in his life, who loved him as his own grandfather.

After chitchatting a bit, Yu Tian finally headed out for the event. After the successful party, he just decided to stay at the waterfront, listening to the calm waves, which soothed his lonely heart too.

He suddenly felt like a push from behind, and then two arms wrapped around his waist. Spooked, he hurriedly tried removing the God knows who. But the person was stubborn too, they would not leave him but they also buried their head in his back.

"Tian, I missed you!"
