MY BROTHER IN-LAW TURN HUSBAND, VOLUME 5 - SEASON 11 EPISODE 88

Jiang Yuyan quietly sat around the lunch table as Lu Lijun and Liwei accompanied her.

Liwei looked at Jiang Yuyan and spoke, “See, you felt bad for yesterday’s dinner, but now we can have lunch together here. It’s better here than that hotel.”

Jiang Yuyan nodded to it and smiled at her lightly.

The three had to help themselves serving the food in the dishes. Jiang Yuyan was about to do it, but Lu Lijun stopped her.

“You just sit.”

“I have hands to get it by myself,” Jiang Yuyan said calmly, but the sarcasm coated her tone.

“But those hands forget to pick up the healthy food,” Lu Lijun countered and first served the salad to her.

Jiang Yuyan frowned inside and let him do it. She looked at all the vegetables in the dish and felt like her appetite just died.

Seeing her expressions, Lu Lijun spoke, “I know you are not a cow to eat only veggies. We have your favorite meat and other things too.”

Lu Lijun served her all the tasty food that she liked. She felt relieved and was ready to eat.

Seeing her, Lu Lijun mumbled, “Still a kid.”

Liwei heard it and smiled, “One kid calling others kid.”

Lu Lijun looked at Liwei, “Did you just call me a kid.”

Liwei nodded, “If you call Yuyan a kid, then you are no different.”

“Did he call me a kid?” Jiang Yuyan asked, and Liwei nodded.

Jiang Yuyan glared at Lu Lijun.

Lu Lijun ignored Jiang Yuyan’s frowning and spoke, “Let me first get clear with her,” and then looked at Liwei. “How am I a kid,” he asked, not liking being called as a kid.

Liwei looked at Jiang Yuyan, “Am I wrong to call him a kid?”

“Of course not. He is the youngest in the family and would always be a kid to us.”

Lu Lijun slammed on the table and looked at Jiang Yuyan as he spoke coldly, “Don’t ever call me a kid.”

The two women sensed the coldness around him and realized he was serious. Jiang Yuyan kept quiet while Liwei spoke, “We were just kidding.”

Lu Lijun stood up, and the other two felt he was leaving without eating food.

“No need to get angry over such a small thing,” Jiang Yuyan spoke.

Lu Lijun didn’t answer and went to the dresser in the lounge. He pulled something out of it and returned the lunch table.

He didn’t go to his chair but stood behind Jiang Yuyan as he held her mildly wet open hair.

Feeling startled, she turned to look at him, but Lu Lijun held the sides of her head and made her look ahead. “Stay still.”

Lu Lijun held the front left opened hair parts from both sides and put on a small clutcher at the back of her head to secure her hair.

“I don’t want you to eat your hair.” Lu Lijun spoke.

Till now, it was clear for Liwei that Jiang Yuyan meant a lot for Lu Lijun, and he cared for her. And why not? She was the woman who handled everything after his brother’s demise and took care of the family.

Liwei always felt respect for Jiang Yuyan but seeing how Lu Lijun treated her added more to what she felt. Moreover, it was a treat to see how Lu Lijun behaved with her; different from his calm, cold, and silent self when he didn’t stop himself from arguing with her.

With her, it was always the one-way conversation where Liwei talked, and Lu Lijun listened. Liwei wished if he would argue with her too.

The lunch was over peacefully. Jiang Yuyan was ready to get back to work as the three went to the President’s office where Noah and Xiao Min were already present, waiting for their respective bosses. They bowed to Jiang Yuyan.

“You should have rest,” Lu Lijun said when Jiang Yuyan went to her chair.

“I know. Just need to handle some emergency things.” Jiang Yuyan added.

Liwei talked, “I think today I can’t trouble you following you to see how you work.”

“Of course you can’t.” Lu Lijun replied before Jiang Yuyan could say a word.

“I know,” said Liwei.

“But you can be with Lu Lijun,” Jiang Yuyan added, and Liwei nodded as she looked at Lu Lijun, “Can I, Mr. Lu?”

“If he says no, you can come to me,” said Jiang Yuyan.

Liwei looked at Lu Lijun, “Please say no. I want to be with this gorgeous lady.”

Lu Lijun was surprised to see how Liwei was eager to be with Jiang Yuyan and thought, ‘This won’t do.’

Noah looked at his friend and smiled, knowing what goes in his head.

“Please,” Liwei pleaded again.

“You are coming with me,” said Lu Lijun and stepped to go out.

Smiling lightly, Noah followed Lu Lijun as he thought, ‘Thankfully, this guy don’t get jealous over the air she breaths and food she eats.’

Liwei looked at Jiang Yuyan, “I need to go.”

Jiang Yuyan nodded, and Liwei left.

Lu Lijun’s office.

Liwei sat in the chair in front of him and saw the mini architecture model kept on the table on one side of the room.

“I saw this one in my brother’s office too. Is it the one everyone is waiting to finish?”

“Hmm,” Lu Lijun nodded and resumed his work. Liwei continued looking at the model while Lu Lijun instructed Noah.

“Let everyone come to my office even before they would go to President’s office.”

Noah called the reception area and informed the same.

Liwei sat on the couch to see the way this busy man worked and went through one magazine.

Soon one by one, employees started to come.

“Purpose to visit President?” Lu Lijun asked while busy with his work.

“Needs the signature on this file,” the man replied.

Lu Lijun let stopped working on the screen in front of him and got the file.

“It’s not important; you can get it tomorrow.”

It startled the man, “But, it’s…”

“I won’t repeat,” Lu Lijun warned.

The man got his file back and left the office calmly.

This continued to happen as everyone had to go through Lu Lijun.

Noah returned to his office, not willing to witness this secret act of love. His friend had gone mad, and there was no way back for him.

Liwei, too returned home, seeing how busy Lu Lijun was, and her mother had asked her to return for some preparation regarding engagement.

——

Jiang Yuyan’s office.

“Is everyone slacking off from work today?” Jiang Yuyan asked Xiao Min, who himself was surprised.

“I’ll check,” said Xiao Min.

Till a while ago, there were so many people who kept asking for when the President would be available, and when she was finally there, no one showed up even after informing them about President resumed her work.

Soon Xiao Min returned after getting updates from the receptionists.

“What?” Jiang Yuyan asked, seeing his confused face.

“Fourth young master sent them all back and asked them to come here tomorrow.”

Jiang Yuyan rested her elbows on the table as she pressed her head with her hand and closed her eyes in annoyance. “What should I do with him?” she mumbled.
