MY BROTHER IN-LAW TURN HUSBAND, VOLUME 6 - Season 12 Episode 24

Jiang Yuyan was sulking all the time from the moment she went to the bathroom till she returned and got ready in her office attire. Lu Lijun’s actions irked her, but there was no way to stop him; even her threats didn’t work on him.

“I can’t let him know everything. Damn San Zemin and his men,” she picked up the cell phone and dialed San Zemin’s number as she sounded cold.

“See me in the office,” and hung up the call without even letting him say a word.

Jiang Yuyan had to go downstairs for breakfast. Before leaving the room, she peeked out to check if someone was there. Making sure no one was out, she stepped out but the next moment felt surprised at her own action.

‘What am I doing? Am I scared of that kid now?’ she frowned and decided. ‘I need not to. I’ll show him next time what I am and what it means to mess with me. That kid!” She frowned inside.

Just as she passed by Lu Lijun’s room a few steps ahead, she heard the sound of the door open, and again a line of light sweat appeared at the back of her neck.

She acted as if she didn’t hear and continued walking but heard him. “Seems like someone is scared and running away.” She heard footsteps coming closer. She couldn’t increase her pace of walking to show she was unaffected by his presence while Lu Lijun caught up to her.

“I don’t want to be late to the office by wasting my precious time on you,” she commented as she continued to descend the stairs.

“Make sure to have lots of time so you won’t be stingy while spending it on me,” Lu Lijun countered.

“My….” she stopped.

“Feel free to curse. Not like I never heard you cursing in the past.”

“I never….”

“Really?”

“Cough!” she didn’t argue.

The two went to join everyone at the breakfast table. Lu Lijun sat in his chair while Jiang Yuyan sat in hers.

While eating, Lu Lijun added food to Jiang Yuyan’s dish just like in the past. Since he returned, it was the first time the family witnessed him doing it and it didn’t fail to surprise them.

Everyone thought the two were good now, and it was his way of apologizing to her for the troubles he created. Jiang Yuyan falling sick must have brought him back to his senses, and the engagement incident helped him think over what he did wrong and how can he make everything right.

Jiang Yuyan didn’t like it but had to accept. Seeing everyone’s expressions, she could see they were happy and must think everything was right between her and Lu Lijun. She didn’t wish to break their hearts, so she accepted what Lu Lijun did.

“How’s the new project going on?” Lu Jinhai asked.

“Good for now?” Lu Lijun replied.

“You can ask Yuyan for help,” Ning Jiahui suggested.

“The one who created the mess should be the one to clear it,” Jiang Yuyan commented.

“Hmm, you are right,” Lu Jinhai sided with her.

Lu Lijun looked at Jiang Yuyan. “Don’t worry; I don’t wish to trouble that tiny brain more.”

Jiang Yuyan glared at him.

Lu Lijun added food to her dish as he commented, “It’s useful for the brain.”

She put it back in his dish, “Rotten brain needs it more.”

After finishing breakfast, everyone went to the office. Jiang Yuyan went to her office while Lu Lijun went to his.

Noah came to his office. “Good morning, Mr. Lu!”

Sitting in his chair, ready to work, Lu Lijun offered a questioning look to Noah.

Noah answered, “Well, you are a married man now, so….well, come to think of it, you were married long back.”

Lu Lijun didn’t mind what he said. He was a married man, and he had no complaints about it. Instead, he couldn’t get enough of how much he loved his wife.

Noah sat in the chair opposite Lu Lijun and observed him. Lu Lijun’s face was brightened up, unlike how cold he looked most of the time.

“Seems like a married ship is sailing nicely,” Noah commented, getting one file and opening it.

“At least better than you and your- his highness,” Lu Lijun commented.

Noah glared at Lu Lijun this time. “Don’t bring him into our conversation.”

“I just brought him in conversation, but you brought him in your mind and heart….”

“Will you shut your mouth, or do you want me to leave you to work on this project alone?” Noah warned coldly.

“Your loss. You will miss the chance to be with him for twenty-four hours,” Lu Lijun replied, not being affected by his friend.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Jake entered the office as the other two went silent.

Jake noticed it. “Did something happen?”

“We don’t talk much when we work,” Noah answered.

Lu Lijun looked at Noah only to give him a teasing and mocking smile.

Jake sat in one chair, and Lu Lijun spoke, “Thanks for coming.”

“I had to. It’s not easy to deal with Mr. Mountbatten,” Jake replied.

“We have been dealing with Junior Mountbatten for so long. The experience will help,” Noah said as he looked at Lu Lijun, “Am I right?”

“Well… Yes!” Lu Lijun agreed and continued. “I am sure Senior Mr. Mountbatten is better than what we dealt with all these years.”

Jake was fine with what Noah said, but he was surprised with a direct comment from his man of few words friend.

Jake gave him a questioning look. “Something is wrong with you, isn’t it, Lijun?”

Noah chuckled. “Wrong? I guess everything is going right for him. You should ask President Lu if something wrong is happening with her.”

“Makes sense,” Jake commented, and he looked at Noah as he winked, “Seems like our friend is not starving now.”

“Lucky man!” Noah added, smiling widely.

Lu Lijun, who tolerated teasing from his friend, finally spoke. “Why don’t you two get a room and try your luck.”

It somewhere startled the two, but they didn’t wish to back down.

“Room?” Noah asked, and Jake added, “We share the entire house.”

Noah agreed. “We don’t have to sneak into each other’s room secretly, at least,” Noah teased, knowing what his friend was capable of.

“Good for you. Make some use of it then.” Lu Lijun looked unaffected and continued work.

“He has become bold,” Noah said to Jake.

“Effect of love,” Jake commented.
