Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

"Lijun, who are you talking about?" Noah asked though he had an idea but wanted to know what exactly he meant.

"The one who only thought of me as her responsibility when I always…." Lu Lijun stopped.

It was clear for the two, so Jake asked, "Where is she leaving?"

"She will marry someone soon," Lu Lijun replied; he looked heartbroken and hurt.

It shocked the other two.

"What?" Jake exclaimed, and at the same time, Noah spurted out so many questions, "President Lu, marrying someone? How? I..I can't believe it."

Lu Lijun knew he didn't have to tell his friend who the person was, and as expected, they got it.

"There must be a mistake," Jake said, but Lu Lijun didn't hear it and kept talking to himself.

"Shouldn't I be happy for her to be free from my responsibility? But why does it hurt?" Lu Lijun mumbled.

"Lijun, are you sure about it?" Noah asked.

"Hmm," Lu Lijun nodded, "Today father talked to her, and she said she needs some time to think it over.

"But she didn't say yes yet, right?" Jake asked.

"If she didn't want it, she would have said No right away, but…."

The two didn't know what to say.

Noah looked at Jake as if talking about something.

"Do you know why you are feeling hurt?" Jake asked, expecting Lu Lijun to realize what was in his heart.

"Hmm," Lu Lijun nodded.

They felt relieved, thinking finally he would accept it instead of running away from it.

"Why?" Noah asked, intending to make him talk.

Lu Lijun stepped out of the car and stood leaning at the door. The other two stepped out too and stood beside him.

"In the past, other than my elder brother and after he passed away, she was everything for me. But she sent me away without explaining to me anything and never even looked back at me. When I returned, I expected her to talk to me or explain things to me. I wanted her to treasure me like in the past, and we would be like before, but she always ignored me. Just as I started to think things might get better between us, she is leaving."

Lu Lijun stopped as if thinking about something and the other two waited for him to talk.

"It's clear I'm nobody to her when I think of her everything to me. I'm Just one responsibility that my elder brother left to her, and now she will leave once it's fulfilled. It hurt the same when my elder brother left me. It hurts..it hurts like crazy. I think I'm not ready to be away from her yet even after so many years passed by."

Lu Lijun stopped, and Noah asked, "That's it?"

"Hmm?" Lu Lijun nodded.

"Is there nothing more you want to say?" Jake asked.

Lu Lijun shook his head and stepped away towards the clear view of the starry sky ahead.

Jake and Noah didn't know what to say. Their idiot friend didn't come to the point where he would say the real thing he felt for her.

Once Lu Lijun got away, Noah asked, "What should we do with him?"

"If she is marrying someone, then it's better for him not to know what he really feels," Jake replied.

Noah agreed, "It would be better, or he would be even more hurt."

Jake thought about something, "I think we are wrong."

Noah agreed as if he thought the same as Jake, "He would go crazy like this."

"And I hope till then it would not be so late," Jake added.

The two looked at their friend, who sat on one rock among the stack of so many.

"For now, let me stuff something in his empty stomach. He didn't eat much today."

The two carried food packs towards the rock and sat beside Lu Lijun.

Noah unpacked one box for Lu Lijun and gave it to him.

"I'm not hungry."

"Yeah, but I'm. You just eat, I'll pray what you eat transfers into my stomach," Noah put the box on Lu Lijun's lap.

The three continued eating, and Lu Lijun spoke, "I don't want to go home."

The two knew this would happen, and Noah said, "Don't worry, his highness will spare one side of his bed for you."

Lu Lijun nodded, and the three sat there quietly until the other two realized Lu Lijun was calm.

Jiang Yuyan didn't return home as she was worried about Lu Lijun.

"Boss, it's getting late," Xiao Min informed.

"Did he return?" she asked.

"Doesn't seem like he would return home. They are still at that place outside of the city." Xiao Min informed.

"How is he?" She asked.

"With his friends, and it looks like they took care of everything."

Jiang Yuyan leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes as if thinking about something.

"Did something happen to upset him like this?" she asked.

"Not sure, boss. Even San Zemin has no idea though he was under the watch all the time," Xiao Min informed.

"Inform me once he leaves," she instructed and kept sitting in the chair, closing her eyes.

It was almost midnight when Xiao Min returned to Jiang Yuyan, "Boss, they went to Noah's home."

Nodding as she heard it, Jiang Yuyan stood up from the chair; she looked tired.

"I'm not going home," she said, and Xiao Min understood what she meant.

"Boss should not..."

"I would be fine. Don't worry," she interrupted the worried man in front of him.

Sitting in the car, Xiao Min instructed the driver, "Boss's home."

The driver drove away towards Jiang Yuyan and Lu Qiang's home.

The moment they reached the home and Xiao Min was about to step out, Jiang Yuyan said, "Xiao Min, you can go home."

"I would like to be here."

"I told you I would be fine."

Not reacting to it, Xiao Min stepped out of the car and opened the car's door for his boss.

She glared at him, "Seems like you forgot who is the boss?"

Xiao Min bowed to her as if saying she is the boss and then stood up, holding the door as if asking her to step out.

Frowning, Jiang Yuyan stepped out of the car, "My life is full of stubborn men around."

Not reacting to it, Xiao Min led the way for his boss.
