MY BROTHER IN-LAW TURN HUSBAND, VOLUME 6 - Season 12 Episode 38

Leaving Jiang Yuyan’s office, Lu Lijun straightaway went to the rooftop by stairs instead of going to his office. He had so many things in his mind that he needed to go out somewhere to relax in the fresh air.

Xiao Min and Noah were discussing something while standing in the reception area when the two saw Lu Lijun. The way Lu Lijun left, the two understood something had happened.

The two stopped what they were doing, and without a word, both went to their bosses. Xiao Min hurried to the President’s office while Noah went to the rooftop way. The two receptionists were worried to think what had happened now.

Xiao Min knocked on the door and opened it. He saw Jiang Yuyan standing by the window while facing her back at him.

When Jiang Yuyan heard the knock on the door, she immediately got back to her senses and turned to face the window.

Xiao Min stepped ahead and stood near her work table.

“Boss!” He called for her worriedly, and not being able to see her face made him anxious.

“Do we have any meetings?” Jiang Yuyan asked.

“No, boss,” he replied.

“Then leave me alone for a while,” she instructed.

“Boss, did something happen?” he asked.

“Hmm!”

“May I know what?” Xiao Min was all ears, being ready to share his boss’s worry.

“The cat across that road just gave birth to cute little kittens.” Came the calm and savage reply from the cold boss.

Cough!

Xiao Min understood he should not ask anything. “I’ll take a leave.”

Noah went to the rooftop where he saw Lu Lijun standing quietly near the par.a.p.et wall, looking ahead blankly as the silent breeze played with his hair.

He looked unusually calm as if something troubled him and looked lost again.

Noah stood beside him and asked, “What happened? Did you fight with president Lu?”

“Then?”

“Sometimes, I wonder if I should envy my elder brother?” Lu Lijun replied.

“Why?” Noah asked.

“Even after so many years when he is not with her, she still loves him the same while I can only expect her to look at me at least once as a man in her life.”

Noah couldn’t comment anything about it, but he put his hand on Lu Lijun’s shoulder to console him.

“I am equally sad that he left, and I am still hurt to think why he had to leave us. I wish he was still with me. I miss him, and I know she does it too and must cry every day for him.” Lu Lijun became emotional. “If he was alive, things wouldn’t be messy like these. But as it came to this, I can’t help but be greedy for her. I can’t help but to want her to think about me and love me.”

“It will take time,” Noah commented.

“I know, but my heart can’t stop being impatient and greedy,” Lu Lijun commented. “Most of the time, I feel like she will leave me one day, and to hold her back, I need to try everything I can. I don’t hesitate to get closer to her even if she doesn’t want it. I can’t understand what to do and end up doing something that is against her will.”

Noah could understand what his friend meant and could only hear him out. However, he trusted Lu Lijun at least this much that he would not do something to spoil everything.

“Today, I was scared to think she would not think about me at all. So not to let it happen… I did it again…..I became greedier than I should be… I wanted to…” Lu Lijun couldn’t say anything further and closed his eyes. “I can’t bear to think that she wouldn’t think about me at all.”

“Happens, but I know you will be patient,” said Noah.

Lu Lijun looked at Noah. “Noah!”

“Huh?” Noah looked back at him.

“How did you manage to get through it? Years have passed by since, but it still must hurt you a lot,” Lu Lijun asked.

Noah gave him a look as if he didn’t get what Lu Lijun meant and chuckled. “What are you talking about, man? I am absolutely fine.”

“You know what I mean, Noah,” Lu Lijun gave him a serious look as if saying, ‘I’m not buying your ignorance and lies.’

Noah averted his sight from Lu Lijun and looked ahead as he looked serious and hurt with some old memories. “Can’t you see what I have turned into? I wish you won’t be like me, Lijun.”

“You know things have changed, and you still….”

“I don’t want to,” Noah interrupted Lu Lijun.

Though Noah tried to look calm and cool, his eyes couldn’t hide he was hurt.

Noah cleared his throat and said, “By the way, tell me one thing.”

“What?” Lu Lijun asked.

“If your brother was still alive, and that means president Lu would still be his wife, so who would you have fallen for.”

“Don’t know.”

“Liwei seems the best option as she could keep up with your stubbornness.”

Lu Lijun nodded. “She is a good person.”

That means you agree she had a complete chance of being Mrs. Lu Lijun.”

“Hmm,” Lu Lijun agreed. “I feel bad for hurting her and still couldn’t get to see her.”

“Her stubborn father, huh?” Noah asked.

Lu Lijun nodded. “He is right at his place. I would have been even worse if someone had hurt my daughter.”

Noah looked at Lu Lijun. “Woh, married man, take it slow. You are already planning to have kids when their mother still doesn’t consider you as their father,” Noah teased.

It brought a smile to Lu Lijun’s lips. “She has to consider me sooner or later for the sake of her future kids.”

Noah gave a tight pat on the back of Lu Lijun’s shoulder and exclaimed cheerfully. “That’s like my boy, always so confident, and you were worried for nothing a while ago.”

Lu Lijun agreed and said, “Let’s work. Need to win the project so I can bring my wife back home.”

“Yes, boss!” said Noah as the two finally went to Lu Lijun’s office.
