Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

When it was time to sleep, the nurse visited to give medicines to Lu Lijun. She straightened his bed which was up at the headrest and said good night to both of them." 

As Lu Lijun lay on the bed, Jiang Yuyan fixed the blanket on him and turned to leave but Lu Lijun held her hand. 

She looked at him and he said, "Sleep with me."

"You are sick. You should sleep comfortably," Jiang Yuyan came with an excuse as she knew this guy won't listen even if she had said No straightaway.

"My comfort is with you," he countered. 

"The bed is small, Lu Lijun, and I can't sleep in a small place," she was about to pull her hand, Lu Lijun held it tight, "Just this once bear with it. I'll give you more space."

She sighed helplessly and heard him again, "Or I won't be able to sleep. I want to sleep." 

Jiang Yuyan looked at those pleading eyes. "Let go of my hand," she said calmly and Lu Lijun did so.

"Don't act like a kid. I am here only on that couch. Sleep quietly," She said and turned to the couch.

"Fine, then I'll accompany you on the couch," he said and Jiang Yuyan turned to scold the stubborn guy but saw him getting out of the bed in a hurry and losing his balance.

She hurried to hold him which she did in time and he took a chance to hug her letting her support him. 

"You should not walk in so much hurry. You are still…."

"I can't sleep without you. I haven't slept for so many nights already," his pleading voice brushed her ears as he rested his chin on her shoulder.

Jiang Yuyan sighed inwardly. The more she tried to stay away from him, the more ways he found to get her back to him. For now, she thought to give in to the pleading of the sick guy he cared about the most.

"Fine!" she agreed, "Go to bed now."

Lu Lijun Quietly obeyed her and she helped him get into the bed. She covered him with a soft blanket and turned away from the bed. Thinking she was going against her words, he held her hand. 

Jiang Yuyan looked at her hand which he held and then looked at him; his eyes were accusing her of not doing what she had agreed to.

"I am sure you don't want to sleep with bright light in the room," Jiang Yuyan said and he understood what she meant. 

Jiang Yuyan turned the lights off in the room and went to the bed where Lu Lijun had already shifted to one side to make a space for her in that bed as he looked at her silhouette in the dim light approaching him.

She got into the bed and lay down in the bed on her back, adjusting herself at the edge of the bed to keep a distance between him and her which was close to impossible in that small bed.

Turning to his one side to face her, Lu Lijun was about to put the same blanket on her but she stopped him, "I don't need it. You can have it."

She looked like she had shrunk her body as much as she could and Lu Lijun frowned. He put the blanket on her without giving her a chance to reject and pulled her closer to him. 

"Lu Lijun…."

"Doctor said I can't do anything that will exhaust me so you can relax and sleep," he said in a low voice as his face touched the side of her face that was facing the ceiling.

Jiang Yuyan didn't reply while Lu Lijun held her closer and closed his eyes, "Good night!"

Jiang Yuyan could feel his breath brushing the side of her face and he had closed his eyes.

"Good night!" she said in a low voice and closed her eyes.

------

The next day Lu Lijun woke up and found the place next to him in bed was empty. 'She can't wait to get away from me and here I thought I'll see her the moment I open my eyes.'

Just then Jiang Yuyan stepped out of the washroom. She looked at him and said, "Good Morning."

"Morning!" he replied and heard her talking.

"Today you are discharging. For the time being, you have to stay at Noah's home and I'll arrange everything for you there. You can't go home like this. It will worry others, especially grandpa and grandma. I hope you understand."

Lu Lijun just nodded. 'She can't wait to get rid of me. But she is forgetting who I am.'

Xiao Min came there with the documents. It was early morning but Jiang Yuyan wanted to finish the hospital process fast so she could send Lu Lijun to Noah's home and she could go to the office on time.

"Everything is done," Xiao Min informed. 

Jiang Yuyan nodded and instructed, "You have to take Lu Lijun to Noah's home and ask him to work from home so he can stay with Lu Lijun."

"Noah?" Xiao Min asked. 

Jiang Yuyan nodded, "He will be comfortable with his friend."

"But, Boss…"

"What?" Jiang Yuyan shot him a displeased glare.

"Noah is on two days' leave. He is not in the city," Xiao Min replied and she exclaimed, "What? When?"

Lu Lijun, who was calmly lying in bed, smirked playfully.

"Seems like some emergency on his side and he went to meet his parents in another city," Xiao Min replied. 

Jiang Yuyan sighed and asked, "Where is his other friend?"

"He seems to be out of the country?" Xiao Min replied. 

"Call An Tian," Jiang Yuyan instructed. 

Now Lu Lijun stiffened. He didn't think about An Tian and didn't cross his mind that Jiang Yuyan might send him to An Tian.

Xiao Min made a call and handed it over to Jiang Yuyan. 

"How come president Lu missed me suddenly," An Tian asked.

"Where are you?" Jiang Yuyan asked, ignoring his remark. 

"I tend to be at home early in the morning," he replied. 

"Good," she said, "Lu Lijun is not well. I am sending him to your home for two days."

There was a pause for a moment on An Tian's side and later he said, "I don't mind keeping him here with me but won't be available to accompany him."

"Are you going somewhere?" Jiang Yuyan asked. 

"I am leaving on a business trip at noon," he replied. 

Jiang Yuyan's expressions turned gravely serious as she looked at Lu Lijun and hung up the call without saying a word more to An Tian. 

From her expressions, Lu Lijun could see nothing went as she thought and felt happy about it. He didn't show his happiness on his face and instead pulled out a silent expression that made him look like someone had abandoned him. 

"Don't worry about me. I'll stay in the hotel," Lu Lijun said, "You can leave. I'll manage everything on my own."

Jiang Yuyan looked at Xiao Min, "Inform my home to prepare a guest room for him."

Xiao Min looked at her surprisingly, "Are we taking him boss's home?"

Jiang Yuyan who was already annoyed with the turn of events, glared at him, "Then, do you want me to leave him alone somewhere in such a condition?"

"N-No, boss."

Lu Lijun smiled lightly as finally what he wanted had happened and now he could be with her for the next few days at least.
