Chapter 888 Regretting The decision...
For a moment, Jiang Yuyan and Lu Lijun both felt shocked by what had just happened.
The moment Li Lijun closed the door, he cursed himself for nth times and dashed towards his room as if he was a sinner.
Jiang Yuyan was shocked and puzzled, but she didn"t panic like Lu Lijun. She thought about why he was there suddenly and looked like in much hurry that he didn"t even bother to knock on the door.
"Was there something really important," she thought.
Lu Lijun was not the person who would barge in someone"s room without any reason. Even when he was a kid, he knew the rules. When they shared the same room in the past, he did nothing wrong, or Jiang Yuyan never had to instruct him about anything.
Thinking about him, Jiang Yuyan"s sight followed the broken gla.s.s pieces on the floor, and she understood what must have happened. Stepping towards the door, she locked it and went back to change her clothes.
No one came to the second floor, especially at night, so Jiang Yuyan never had to worry about these things, so she forgot to lock the door.
---------
Lu Lijun returned to the room and closed the door in a hurry. He stood facing the door as his head rested on it, and he punched it angrily.
"Why did I go there? What will she think now?...why..." so many thoughts made his mind chaotic as he regretted the decision to go to her room.
Lu Lijun sat on the couch, leaving forward as his elbows rested on his thighs and his fingers ran through his hair in frustration.
The deed was done, and there was no going back. He felt like running away, but he couldn"t. If he left home at this hour, others would worry, and his elder brother had to follow him again.
He decided to sleep and wake up early to leave the mansion before anyone would wake up.
Not even changing his clothes, he lay on the bed, his one arm covering his eyes. Falling asleep seems impossible, but he tried and closed his eyes only to get another shock in a while.
Jiang Yuyan, taking off her top as her left side facing him. Her thin curvy waist draped in low waist blue jeans, and the top lifted till her chest till the lining of her bra. The more things were visible in just a split of a second, her fair and smooth skin s.h.i.+ned and looked radiant.
As the memory flashed in his mind, Lu Lijun sat up in the bed, curing himself, "What the heck."
He went to the table in his room where the water was kept. Pouring the water in a gla.s.s, he emptied it down the throat in one go.
Gripping the gla.s.s in his palm, he felt like to throw that gla.s.s in his hands and smash it somewhere but controlled and put it back.
Going back to the bed, he somehow managed to sleep with the plan of leaving the mansion early in the morning.
--------
The next morning Lu Lijun woke up and looked at the table clock and cursed himself again. He woke up late when he planned to wake up early.
At this hour, everyone must be awake and already present in the living room.
There was a knock on his door, and it made him even anxious thinking if it"s her, and she needed an explanation for what he did the previous night.
The room"s door opened, and Lu Lijun gave out a sigh of relief, seeing it was the butler.
"Fourth Young master, everyone is waiting for breakfast," said the butler.
"I am not hungry. They can start without me," Lu Lijun countered as he got out of the bed.
"Grandma asked to see the grandson," the butler commented with the words that would work on Lu Lijun.
Lu Lijun couldn"t say no this as he didn"t spend time with his grandma much, so he agreed.
"I will be there."
The butler left as he smiled and mumbled on his way back, "He acts tough, but can"t give up on his soft side."
-------
Getting ready faster, Lu Lijun came out of his room after checking no one was in the corridor.
"Why am I like this? It"s not like I did something wrong," he thought and stepped out of the room confidently. Just as he turned his back to leave, he heard the sound of the door open and close, which made his confidence disappear.
His back stiffened, knowing it was Jiang Yuyan who must have come out of her room. Not stopping to turn and look at her, he continued walking only to hear her calling him.
"Lu Lijun."
He stopped but didn"t turn. "I should apologize," he thought and waited for Jiang Yuyan to reach him.
Jiang Yuyan reached him, and Lu Lijun was about to apologize but couldn"t get a chance to do so as she was the one to speak first.
"Today, come to the office with me," she instructed.
Lu Lijun looked at her, and she looked like there was no effect on her about what he did. As usual, it made him feel like he was n.o.body to her. she should have at least asked him why he was there suddenly or at least say something about the incident.
"My answer is still no," Lu Lijun spoke coldly.
"Xiao Min had to go on emergency leave, and it"s a confidential project. Help me with it till you are here," she insisted, her voice cold and firm that made it look like it was an order.
It infuriated him even more, thinking she was not bothered by his decision to go back to England.
"I am sure there are other trustable people in the company."
Commenting, Lu Lijun stepped ahead, not willing to hear more from her.
Jiang Yuyan let him go and followed him to go for breakfast.
-----
On the breakfast table, Lu Jinhai said, "Yuyan, you are overworking yourself. You should take a rest."
"I am a fine father," she replied.
"Xiao Dong told me you were about to collapse a few days back after working for a long time," Li Jinhai added.
"What?" Elder Lu exclaimed and declared as he looked at Jiang Yuyan, "You are not going to the office anymore."
"They worry for nothing, grandpa," she countered and continued eating as if no word worked on her.
"Xiao Min is not with you too," Lu Jinhai said.
"There are other capable people in the company, so it"s not a big deal," she said, and these words. .h.i.t Lu Lijun as this is what is said to her a while ago.
"Yuyan, the project is not important, but you are," Ning Jiahui spoke.
"I am fine, mother."
Before anyone could pester her more, Jiang Yuyan stood up as she fast finished the food. "I have an early meeting today."
Bowing a little, she left, and no one could stop her. Lu Lijun continued eating quietly as if he heard nothing but his attention was on every word others spoke.
"What should we do with her?" Ning Jiahui mumbled, "Like this, she will only worsen her health."
"It"s impossible to stop her," grandma added, "last time we even didn"t know she was admitted in the hospital."
"Where did Xiao Min go?" elder Lu asked furiously.
"His mother was hospitalized the previous night. He wanted to come for work, but Yuyan asked him not to. Xiao Dong and he, both are in the hospital," Lu Jinhai informed.
Everyone felt worried.
"We need to go visit there," said elder Lu, and others agreed.
"I will be there in the evening after work," Lu Jinhai informed and looked at Lu Lijun, "Are you coming to the office with me?"
Lu Lijun nodded, "Hmm."
It was a shock for everyone that he agreed on his own when no one insisted on him and stared at him as they looked at each other in surprise.
----------
In the hospital,
Xiao Min"s mother was admitted, and the worry surrounded the father and son.
A man came to visit Xiao Min"s mother early in the morning. A handsome man in a suit, wearing square gla.s.ses spectacles, holding a flower bouquet in hands.
He knocked on the door of the patient"s room, As he peeked through the circle gla.s.s on the door, which allowed outsiders to see inside the room.
In the room, Xiao Min sat in the chair beside the patient"s bed. He looked worried as his sight fixated on his mother.
The man opened the door and entered the room.
"Senior," Xiao Min stood up, seeing Shen Li there.
"How is aunty?" Shen Li asked.
"She is fine now," Xiao Min answered, accepting the floors from Shen Li and kept them on the table.
"What happened suddenly?"
"Appendicitis. She has surgery today," Xiao Min informed.
Just then, Xiao Min"s mother woke up, and she looked at both of them with her hazy eyes.
"Is that Shen Li?" she asked.
Shen Li went to her, "Yes, aunty. How are you feeling?"
"Don"t talk to me," she said in her low and weak voice.
"I am sorry, aunty," Shen Li knew why she said it.
"Does it even matter to you if I die?" she spoke.
Shen Li sat at the edge of the bed and held her hand, "I am really sorry."
"If you are sorry, then make sure to visit me once in a while," she instructed.
"I will," he a.s.sured.
Just then, the door of the room opened again, and Xiao Dong entered the room. He was surprised to see Shen Li there.
"a.s.sitant Li?" Xiao Dong spoke as if asking why and how he was there.
