Chapter 1017: She Would Leave Soon...
Angry Lu Lijun pushed everything from the table on the floor, which made noises. Other than work files, the things included his laptop, the empty glass of water, the paperweight made of glass, table clock, and few more things which would add to the noise.
In the silent environment office, the noise spread across the floor, which everyone heard.
It startled the receptionists, "Is it from the fourth young master's office," said one receptionist, and the two went towards his office. The guard on the floor and San Zemin's man, who was always there, went towards there too.
Noah, who was busy working, heard it and sighed, "This guy," and stood up to go to Lu Lijun's office.
Xiao Min was with Jiang Yuyan as they discussed something, and the two heard it too.
"I'll check," saying Xiao Min came out of the president's office.
When Xiao Min came out, he saw the receptionist and the guards outside Lu Lijun's office and Noah entering inside.
Feeling worried, Xiao Min strode towards Lu Lijun's office.
"Get back to your work," Xiao Min instructed others and entered the office.
Lu Lijun was standing near the work table facing his back towards the door, and Noah looked around the office to get the scenario.
"What happened, Lijun?" Noah asked while Xiao Min went towards him.
"Are you alright, fourth young master?" Xiao Min asked.
Facing his back towards these two worried men, Lu Lijun didn't bother to answer them.
Noah finally stepped forward and turned Lu Lijun to look at him by holding him at the shoulder, "What happened?"
Lu Lijun looked at Noah like a lost person who didn't know what had happened and why he acted like that. His eyes turned moist with all this confusion and the turmoil inside.
Noah could see this time it was something serious to turn Lu Lijun like this. Nothing normal couldn't make him lose control like this.
To get Lu Lijun out from his confused and startled state, Noah held his face in his palm and shook a bit to ask, "Are you okay?"
Staring at Noah confusingly, Lu Lijun shook his head lightly, saying he was not okay.
"Do you want to go away from here?" Noah asked.
Lu Lijun nodded lightly as he looked like he would cry anytime soon.
Noah let go of his face and held his hand in a hurry to take him out, "Let's go."
Just as he was about to leave, Xiao Min spoke, "What happened?"
Noah lowered his head as if apologizing first and said, "We are leaving early today."
Xiao Min understood he should let Noah handle it and stepped aside, but just then, Jiang Yuyan entered the office.
She looked at Lu Lijun and then looked around at the scattered things in the office.
Stepping towards him, she observed him to check if he was hurt and asked, "Are you hurt?"
He looked hurt and wished to say something, but what came next was his cold reply, "As if you care."
Not minding his cold reply, she asked again, "What happened?"
"You don't need to know." Saying, Lu Lijun stepped ahead to leave the office but stopped at the door and said again, "After this, never take any decision for me. It's my life, and I'll decide what I want to do."
Not waiting for a moment, Lu Lijun left office. Noah bowed to Jiang Yuyan and followed his friend.
Lu Lijun stepped inside the elevator, and Noah followed him, not saying or asking a single word, but he pulled out his cellphone and dropped a message to Jake.
Getting out, Lu Lijun went towards the exit of the building, where the security guards bowed to him and signaled his man to get Lu Lijun and Noah's car.
The two friends waited for the cars, and when they arrived, Noah spoke, "Get in my car."
Noah didn't wish Lu Lijun to drive in such a condition, and Lu Lijun listened to him.
Sitting inside the car, Noah asked, "Where do you want to go?"
Sighing deeply and leaning back in the chair as he closed his eyes, Lu Lijun replied, "Wherever."
Noah drove away and soon stopped in front of one corporate building where one handsome, tall, blond guy waited for them.
Not asking anything, Jake sat on the back passenger seat, and they left.
While driving, Noah looked at Jake through the rearview mirror, and Jake signaled him, asking what happened.
Noah signaled him back, saying laters. The three kept quiet for a while as the car continued to move outside of the city. Noah didn't know where to take Lu Lijun, and roaming in the city with no end was a bad idea. He just set the GPS and drove on the way, which led out of the city.
Half an hour passed by, and Jake finally asked, "Where are we going?"
"Wherever," Noah replied while Lu Lijun continued to look outside of the window. Jake didn't ask further, leaving it to Noah.
Soon Noah stopped the car at one supermarket. Lu Lijun didn't bother asking anything while the other two stepped out of the car. Noah made sure to get car keys with him, or he was unsure if the cold guy would leave somewhere on his own.
Entering the supermarket, Jake asked, "What happened? Is it again about president Lu?"
"I don't know what happened, but I'm sure it's related to President Lu," replying, Noah picked up some food packs and water bottles and went towards the billing counter.
"Are you sure?" Jake asked.
Paying the bill, Noah looked at Jake, "Have you ever seen him losing his control to the extent of destroying everything around him?"
"Among us three, he is the most composed and well behaved," Jake answered.
"Got the answer?" Noah asked and stepped to go out as Jake walked with him, agreeing to his conclusion.
It was almost dark as the three drove away out of the city. After half an hour, they reached outside of the city as Noah chose the way with less traffic.
Noah looked around the road to check where it would be better to stop the car.
"Over there," Lu Lijun said. Finally, he spoke after almost an hour of silence.
The deserted green and vast land attached to the road looked calm. Noah turned the car directly in that place and stopped after crossing some distance to keep a distance from the highway but in the place where the lights from roadside poles could reach.
It was a convertible car, so Noah pressed one button to get the roof of the car to fold back, and the three could enjoy the free and cold air as one cold guy needed to calm down badly.
As Lu Lijun was still silent, Jake signaled Noah to talk to him.
Nodding, Noah said, "Pass me the bottle. I'm thirsty."
Jake passed one to Noah and then one to Lu Lijun, which he accepted.
The car faced the opposite to the road and towards the calm starry sky.
"She would leave soon," Lu Lijun mumbled, staring at the sky.
It surprised the two, "What do you mean?" Jake asked.
"She was tied to everything because of the responsibility called Lu Lijun. Now he is back, so she can be free," Lu Lijun replied.
