Chapter 992 - Can I Get Everything I desired?
"This is for you," Jiang Yuyan said as she handed over a gift box to Lu Lijun, who looked at her questioningly to know what it was.
"It"s your birthday gift," she explained.
"Thank you."
"Won"t you open it?" Asking, Jiang Yuyan turned towards the President"s chair.
Lu Lijun opened the box, and it surprised him, "It"s…" he felt loss for words as he couldn"t take his eyes off of the gift.
"Your brother"s favorite watch that you liked too and wished to wear it when you would grow up," Jiang Yuyan said as she sat in the chair.
Lu Lijun stared at her, who was ready to be busy with her work, and asked, "Like this, can I get everything that I desired in the past?"
"Hmm," While going through her work, Jiang Yuyan nodded to what Lu Lijun asked, unknown to what he exactly meant.
Not reacting, Lu Lijun continued staring at her as if he was trying to find out the answers to his so many unspoken questions.
Leaning back into the chair, she looked at him, "Everything your brother had now belongs to you. So, you should do your best and take this place soon," she said, patting the hand rest of the chair."
When she talked about the President"s chair she sat in, Lu Lijun"s eyes stuck to the person sitting in that chair.
"Be a president, Lu Lijun," said Jiang Yuyan that pulled him out of where he unknowingly lost his thoughts.
Lu Lijun didn"t say yes to what she said. "I"ll take a leave," said Lu Lijun and turned to leave.
"After Lu Qiang, this is your responsibility….," Jiang Yuyan spoke, looking at his back.
Lu Lijun halted but didn"t turn to look at her, "Elder brother wanted me to care and be responsible towards so many other things too," Lu Lijun countered; there lay the hidden meaning under those words.
Jiang Yuyan never got what exactly he meant and continued, "Once you are president, you would be able to take care of all the responsibilities."
Lu Lijun turned and looked at her, "Is that so?"
"Hmm, you would be the head of everything," she a.s.sured.
Staring at her for a while, Lu Lijun replied, "I"ll think about it," turned and left.

Noah and Jake left in his car from An Tian"s home.
While driving, Noah asked, "Are you sure you want to come to my place?"
"If not, then why would I have left with you?" Jake countered.
"When are you leaving?" Noah asked.
Jake sighed, "Am I that bothersome to you?"
"I asked in general," Noah retorted.
Jake smirked, "Don"t worry, this time, I"ll inform you properly before leaving."
"As if I care," Noah mumbled.
The two reached one of the luxurious residential towers. Parking the car, both went to the apartment that belonged to Noah.
Entering the apartment, Jake spoke as he looked around the luxurious flat, "Not bad. It seems like you are the one cherished employee."
"Don"t you know who our friend is, and I"m his a.s.sistant," Noah countered as he removed his shoes and kept them on the shelf at the entrance.
"That"s true," Jake too took off his shoes.
It was high tech, European-style place which was stylish, well furnished, and had a huge living room. Seeing it, one could imagine how the entire place must be.
"Why were you at my brother"s place till now?" Jake asked.
"I was waiting to get kicked out by him," Noah replied, as a light smile painted on his lips, remembering the moment when An Tian ordered them to leave his home.
"It was fun. I never saw him like that. For the first time, I had the feeling of having an elder brother who can scold me," Jake added, as he thought about the same thing.
Noah agreed to it, "Good to have an elder brother who cares for us."
"Which one is my room?" Jake asked, pulling his luggage toward the living room.
"This," Noah replied, looking around the living room.
"Don"t tell me there is no other extra room in this gigantic place."
"There is but not for you."
"Why?" Jake asked surprisingly.
"Staying in the living room will remind you that you have to leave as soon as possible." Smiling mischievously, Noah went to his room carrying his bag.
Before Noah could even step inside his room properly, Jake crossed him and entered the room as he looked around, "I can manage here."
"Hey, don"t even think about it," Noah exclaimed.
"I already did," Jake countered and pushed his bags aside as he lay down on the bed, "Feels good."
"What"s there to feel good? Get out of here," frowning, Noah kicked Jake"s luggage bag, which swirled towards the door on its wheels, and then he went towards Jake, who lay on the bed.
Holding Jake"s hand to pull him out of bed, Noah spoke, "You better go out from here."
Jake stared coldly at Noah for a while and looked at where Noah held his hand, at the wrist. The next moment Jake tugged back his hand firmly, and Noah fell on him, his hands resting on Jake"s chest as he faced him.
Noah didn"t expect Jake to do it, but with that closeness and how Jake stared at him, Noah felt like his heart almost skipped a bit.
Trying to get up, Noah cursed him, "You idiot…."
Maintaining the same cold expressions, Jake pulled him back, and Noah fell on him again as Jake spoke, staring into his eyes.
"It"s not the first time we are in the same room. Why are you like this, Noah?"
Noah gulped as his face turned flushed. Just then, his cellphone rang, and he tried to get up, but Jake held him tightly. "You are yet to answer me, Noah."
Frowning, Noah pulled out the cellphone from his pant"s pocket, not moving away from Jake. Seeing the name flas.h.i.+ng on the screen, Noah felt glad and answered the call, "Don"t worry babe, I"ll be there tonight," and hung up the call.
