Chapter 1412: I Am Not A Kid Now
Chapter 1412: I Am Not A Kid Now
Lu Lijun and Noah went downstairs to have breakfast. Jiang siblings, the new love birds and the two Princes from the royal family and Xiao Min were present at the breakfast table except for the two Lu brothers, Lu Han and Lu Feng.
They all sat in their respective chairs. Noah who was eager to see the troubled Lu brothers, felt disappointed to not see those two.
“Where are brothers Lu Feng and Lu Han?”
Lu Lian laughed, “Those two might not come for breakfast. My poor brothers, wive’s slaves.”
“I see one more wife’s slave next to you Lian,” Jiang Yang teased.
Before she could say a word, Ming Rusheng spoke, “I don’t mind being her slave.”
She looked at him with a pleasant smile, “So sweet, my handsome slave.”
“I see someone else here as well,” An Tian commented as he looked at Lu Lijun.
Lu Lijun didn’t mind it and said, “Are you talking about Jake, brother Tian?”
With this everyone looked at Jake while Noah stayed quiet and just peeked at Jake to see what he would say.
“He was talking about you Lijun,” Jake replied and acted as if Lu Lijun’s remark didn’t concern him. This guy was becoming colder with each day.
“Well, I am her slave since the day we met,” Lu Lijun replied.
“Woh, you are getting good at it, Lu Lijun,” Lu Lian commented.
“I am always the best at everything. She also knows it,” Lu Lijun said.
Cough! Jiang Yuyan who was holding her breath till now, fearing he would say something to embarrass her, that finally happened.
He passed her water and said, “I was talking about being yous slave. Didn’t I always take care of you even when I was a kid and still did my best?”
She nodded and felt relieved that he didn’t mean anything else but heard him again, “But it’s also a fact that I am best at everything.”
“My narcissist brother, let her breathe,” Lu Lianinterrupted him and then looked at Jiang Yuyan, as she enjoyed her breakfast. “By the way, Yuyan, you look different these days, just like in the past.”
Jiang Yuyan looked at her, feeling surprised.
“Hmm, I agree,” An Tian said, “She looks the same as when she came to my boutique for the first time.”
Lu Lian agreed, “You got that old charm back. Your face is so bright and happy like young girl and those open hair…let me see properly….”
“She looks prettier with her hair open,” Lu Lijun commented.
“My little brother, as much as I remember, you used to like tied hair. Did you forget you used to ask me and Baobao to tie our hair saying tied hair looks good? You even used to ask Yuyan the same. Such an annoying kid you were.”
“But I am not a kid anymore,” Lu Lijun said as his gaze passed Jiang Yuyan who didn’t dare look at him.
“Really, my little bunny?” Lu Lian said with a laugh as her remark was directed towards when she made Lu Lijun wear bunny ears.
“Hmm,” he nodded, “You can ask Yuyan. She knows it better.”
A sudden awkward silence spread across the table as they all looked at Jiang Yuyan, trying to suppress their smiles.
Lu Lian was in a complete mood for teasing and didn’t wish to spare anyone. “Is he telling the truth, Yuyan?”
Yuyan cleared her throat and looked at Lu Lian, “He handles business really well and he has proved himself. He is now even capable of handling the entire Lu corporation alone. So, he is grown up now.”
How nicely this woman dodged the real question. No wonder it’s hard to trap her. Acting so composed even though she was embarrassed inside.
Lu Lijun smiled at her smartness and resumed eating. Just then the Lu brothers who were sharing the same room and now were sharing their stress together arrived at the breakfast table.
“Seems like you two didn’t sleep the entire night,” An Tian commented as others suppressed laughing.
The two looked at Lu Lian but said nothing and sat in their chairs.
“Elder brother, how did the night go,” Lu Lian asked.
Lu Han sighed, “You know your sister in law is….”
“I know she is pregnant and I can’t stress her out. Don’t worry I didn’t send her any pictures.”
“Then why is she not receiving my call?” Lu Han asked, not believing his sister.
“I asked my sister in law to not receive your call for twenty-four hours,” she replied, “I told her I am pranking my brother and she needs to help me.”
“And she agreed?” Lu Han asked in disbelief.
“Hmm, that was my birthday gift from her to fulfil my wish,” she explained.
“You are becoming scheming after spending time with the wrong person,” Lu Han glared at Ming Rusheng.
“He is the right person if he had taught me this but I am one Lu. Lus can be more scheming than anyone else,” Lu Lian countered.
When these two were talking, Lu Feng had a little hope that she must have done the same with him and looked at her, “Lian…”
“Brother, your woman is not pregnant so no mercy on you,” she replied.
Lu Feng sighed and ran his hand through his hair which made them messy, “Lu Han is right. You are in the wrong company these days,” and passed his gaze to Ming Rusheng.
Ming Rusheng put his hand around Lu Lian’s shoulder and said while looking at frustrated Lu Feng, “She had grown up in the wrong company. I am just continuing the same trait for her.”
“I can’t do anything to my sister because I love her but that doesn’t apply to you,” Lu Feng said angrily.
“I don’t expect love from you, Lu Feng. You can save that for my cousin who is living in your home. Love from your sister is more than enough for me.”
“This guy is so talkative these days,” Lu Feng stabbed the fork in the steamed bun and stuffed it in his mouth as he ate it with a frown.
Lu Feng didn’t know but his behaviour was surprising to others. That always so calm and composed Lu Feng who never lost his composure even in the worst situation looked disturbed and acted like any other young man in love.
He always wore his clothes neatly even if it was his night pajama and had his hair look nice even if they were not combed properly but today his clothes looked unkept with a loose t-shirt and pants and his hair was messy like he was only pulling them out in frustration. He was not the same Lu Feng they knew.
No one ever had seen this side of him apart from Jiang Yang and Lu Qiang who handled him when he used to be drunk.
“It’s good to see you like this, Lu Feng,” Jiang Yang commented.
Lu Feng only frowned and didn’t realize what others were thinking. He stabbed another steamed bun and ate it with a frown.
“It’s good to see you lose your perfect composure which you never lose in any situation,” Jiang Yang added.
Lu Feng stopped eating and looked at others who were looking at him. He realized what Jiang Yang was talking about and put the fork back on the plate.
He ran his hand through his hair to move them back. ‘I..will be back soon.” He was about to stand up but heard An Tian, “Sit down Lu Feng. You don’t need to be so good all the time. Let others see that you are an ordinary human who feels all kinds of emotions.
Before Lu Feng could really get up, Lu Lijun spoke, “Brother, don’t go. It’s good to see you like this. It reminded me of you from the past when you used to live like you care for no one.”
Lu Feng sat back in the chair and ate quietly.
“When a man like you loses his composure for someone, that means that person is really special to you,” Jiang Yang commented.
“That means this guy is madly in love with her,” An Tian corrected.
“Hmm, that is what I meant to say,” Jiang Yang agreed.
Everyone only looked at this changed person who looked younger and immature overnight.
“I thought brother Feng will leave in the night in his private jet to go to her,” Lu Lian said, “I am surprised he is still here.”
He looked at her, “I am here for you. She will understand. Rest we will solve it once I return home.”
“Woooh, my brother is in love. In fact, my both brothers are madly in love.”
She looked at Lu Lijun, “How did it feel to sleep in another room?”
“Who said I slept in the other room,” Lu Lijun spoke.
She laughed, “I knew you would find your way back. So proud of you, little bunny.”
Jiang Yuyan felt like there was no stopping to this Lu Family. Brothers and sisters were all the same and she was facing it for ten years now.
