Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

The next day Jiang Yuyan was ready to attend an important meeting and she was sure to take Lu Lijun with her to attend it. It was about his future and he had to be more responsible. There was a knock on the door. 

"Come in!"

The door opened and the butler entered the room. 

Jiang Yuyan looked at him, "Is he ready?"

The butler shook his head, "The Fourth Young Master had asked to not bother him with anything."

Jiang Yuyan sighed, "It's fine."

The butler left as he knew Jiang Yuyan would do something about it. 

Getting ready, Jiang Yuyan went to Lu Lijun who had finished his breakfast in his room and was standing quietly facing the window and looking outside.

When she knocked on the door, there was no response so Jiang Yuyan entered without a second thought. She saw Lu Lijun standing quietly with a melancholic look on his face. She was not sure what he was thinking at this moment but this sudden change in him made her feel sad. He was always so responsible for his work and she had never seen him like this. But, to make it happen what she had planned, she needed to ignore it now.

Lu Lijun realized her presence in the room, looked at her but then ignored and continued looking outside.

Jiang Yuyan went straight to his wardrobe and pulled out the suit. Carrying the suit, she went to Lu Lijun and instructed coldly. "Your presence is needed for the meeting. Wear this." 

Lu Lijun didn't react as if he heard nothing and such behavior from him was even annoying to her.

"I am keeping this suit on the bed." She went towards his bed and the moment she kept the suit on the bed, she heard him, "I don't wish to." 

She looked back at him, "Don't make me force you," she warned. "If you won't..." 

Lu Lijun turned around to look at her. The way he looked at her made her swallow her words and she heard him again, "Will you put it on me? But for that, you have to take my clothes off. Will you? I don't mind though." 

He just wanted to put an unreasonable demand on his wife where he was sure she would just deny it.

'This guy?' she frowned inwardly and preferred to ignore what he said. She only wished him to somehow attend the meeting with her. "Wear it," she said again.

"Only if you help me," Lu Lijun was adamant on it. 

Jiang Yuyan frowned and the next moment there was a loud noise. 

Slam!! 

Lu Lijun looked at the door where Jiang Yuyan just left as he chuckled, "This stubborn woman. When will she understand that asking with love would be enough?" 

He went towards the bed and picked up the suit as he mumbled, "I am attending this meeting just because I don't want my wife to lose her face in front of board members. There is no way I will do what she wants me to."

Wearing a suit, he came downstairs where Jiang Yuyan was waiting for him. She knew he would come and he did. 

These two sure knew each other well. 

----

Jiang Yuyan and Lu Lijun went to the Lu corporation where they had the board meeting. Everyone was excited to meet Lu Lijun as most of them had already accepted him as a future leader of Lu Corporation.

Lu Lijun did all he could that only make Jiang Yuyan feel proud of him. She had worked hard for the past ten years to see these days so he could never fail her. Everyone was impressed with Lu Lijun's work till now and all the board members appreciated it as he did something that no one had achieved in Lu Corporation till now, that project which Lu Corporation had grabbed for the first time. 

Jiang Yuyan was silent but there was pride in her eyes for him. It was the start of establishing Lu Lijun's place and soon she would achieve it.

When everything was finished, someone came to meet Jiang Yuyan and Lu Lijun could recognize who the person was. When the person was still at some distance, Lu Lijun looked at Jiang Yuyan, his eyes were devoid of any emotions as he just waited to see her reaction.

Jiang Yuyan held her breath and wished Lu Lijun to be calm and greeted the person who came to her. A handsome tall man with who she had gone on a blind date, son of the renowned Choi family who had recently returned from the USA, Alex.

They shook hands as the man smiled lightly at Jiang Yuyan and then shook hands with Lu Lijun as his eyes observed this cold-looking young man. "You remind me of Lu Qiang," said Alex. 

Lu Lijun didn't react and only nodded lightly as the man said again, "I am looking forward to working with you till I return to the USA."

Lu Lijun nodded, "I went through the recent project from your company and they looked promising."

"Glad to know it," said Alex.

Jiang Yuyan looked at Lu Lijun in disbelief as Lu Lijun was resting for the past few days and didn't even come to the office but he was aware of everything. Was he still working when I didn't know? Also, Jiang Yuyan thought Lu Lijun might act recklessly as he knew she had gone on a blind date with this man but he was calm.

Lu Lijun looked at her as if he could see through her and smirked lightly. 

"That day we could not have dinner together but I hope next time you won't be in a hurry and we can have a nice dinner," Alex talked to Jiang Yuyan. 

"Sure," Jiang Yuyan agreed. 

Alex had to leave so excused himself and left. 

Jiang Yuyan acted normal but inside she was worried about if Lu Lijun would say something about Alex and show his anger but it happened the opposite. 

Lu Lijun was staring at the retreating back of Alex, "I must say my wife has a good choice in men. I know him and he is one great man."

Jiang Yuyan looked at him in surprise. 

Lu Lijun finally looked at her, "But it's sad that your future is with me then however I am."

"Lu Lijun, this is not the place for such talk," Jiang Yuyan said in a low voice. 

"My bad. I will get the right place for both of us to talk comfortably," Lu Lijun said.

"She gave him a questioning look but he said nothing more. 

Once the meeting was over and all the guests had left, everyone went to their offices. Noah followed Lu Lijun to his office. Entire-time Noah had noticed Lu Lijun had so much in his mind but was suppressing everything inside. 

Once Lu Lijun settled in his chair, Noah asked, "How are you now?"

"Fine," Lu Lijun replied and leaned back in his chair as he closed his eyes.

"What are you thinking about? I am sure it's not something good," Noah asked. 

Lu Lijun stayed quiet for a while and spoke, "Feels like whatever I do and whatever means I try, she can never be mine." Lu Lijun sounded helpless though he tried to portray everything as normal.

For the first time, Noah had no solution to help his friend as there was nothing he could do in such a matter. They can't force Jiang Yuyan to do something which she didn't want. 

"You always knew it would never be so easy or next to impossible. Maybe you need some more time and effort," Noah suggested.

"Efforts?" Lu Lijun sighed as he still had his eyes closed. He turned his chair around to face the window behind him and Noah heard him talk, "All my efforts ends up making her run away from me even more and she has already started it." 

Lu Lijun's eyes had turned moist but he didn't wish to show it to anyone, not even his friend. 

Though Noah could not see him, the hidden pain in his sarcastic voice was enough to make his show what Lu Lijun was feeling at this moment.

Noah knew Lu Lijun had a high threshold of patience but if it breaks, he could turn worse and that is what worried him, "Lijun, everything would be fine okay. Just be calm always and think before whatever you do."

"I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I can never hurt her," Lu Lijun replied. 

Noah wished to change the topic and said, "By the way, I am invited to the naming ceremony."

"Hmm, be there," Lu Lijun replied.
