MY BROTHER IN-LAW TURN HUSBAND, VOLUME 6 - Season 12 Episode 77

Jiang Yuyan reached her home, and she was already not feeling good. Getting fresh, she lay in the bed and soon after the doctor reached there. The usual annoying thing of her life had appeared, and she could only greet her teeth and bear with it.

Xiao Min helped her lay in bed and covered her with the quilt as he informed, “Doctor is here.”

She nodded lightly, and the doctor entered the room with one nurse following her.

“How are you feeling, President Lu?” Doctor asked only to get a sarcastic reply from the woman in front of her.

“Xiao Min wouldn’t have troubled himself calling for the doctor if he thought I was fine.” She didn’t admit it herself that she was not fine but blamed it on Xiao Min.

Just like everyone around Jiang Yuyan, the doctor was used to such remarks from this boss lady and didn’t mind it as she could only smile lightly.

Getting sarcastic remarks from Jiang Yuyan felt pleasant, too, and no one minded it.

The doctor checked her, and Xiao Min passed her a file.

The doctor sighed, “Again, it took almost three months,” and looked at Xiao Min, “Is she still not taking care of herself and Medicines…?”

“I am giving her daily,” Xiao Min, the twenty-four-hour nanny of President Lu, answered.

Lady doctor looked at Jiang Yuyan, “President Lu, only medicines won’t work. You should take care of other things too. No stress, good rest, healthy food….”

“Can we make it like every six months or once in a year?” Jiang Yuyan asked, interrupting the doctor as he stared at her.

The doctor looked at her in disbelief and paused for a moment, but Jiang Yuyan didn’t stop looking at the doctor.

The doctor sighed inwardly, “The will of not having it again is what is making it worse.”

“Can we just take the entire system out of the body so it won’t annoy me ever?” Came one more unbelievable question from the cold lady.

“President Lu, it’s important to….”

“Not like I will ever have a baby. Why keep bearing with it,” Jiang Yuyan interrupted the doctor and turned her head to look another way towards the gallery of her room as she stared at the dark view outside blankly.

The doctor and Xiao Min both turned speechless, and the silence took over the room. Standing at the foot side of the bed, Xiao Min could see his boss’s side face and those empty-looking eyes that carried no emotions.

The doctor cleared her throat to disturb that sudden silent atmosphere.

“President Lu, I am changing medicines this time. Please make sure to take it regularly.”

There was no reply from Jiang Yuyan, and Xiao Min said, “I will make sure to give her.

The doctor attached IV to Jiang Yuyan’s hand and gave her a painkiller as a nurse helped her. “President Lu, You should rest for two days,” said the doctor as she looked at Xiao Min, “No more work for her.”

Xiao Min nodded.

“Please take care, President Lu.” Saying the doctor left. She knew Jiang Yuyan would not listen to anything more at this moment.

“Boss, you should rest. I will see the doctor out,” Jiang Yuyan didn’t reply and closed her eyes.

Just as she heard the door of her room closed and tears rolled down the corner of her eyes.

Lu Lian went to meet Wen Zac as they had planned the dinner. They met at one of the luxurious hotels, but this time, it was not the one that belonged to Ming Industries.

Wen Zac was waiting for Lu Lian; when she arrived, and the hotel staff drove her car away to the parking lot, Wen Zac went to the lady Peach-colored short and cute dress.

Seeing the man in the black suit had come to her, she smiled politely, “I hope Mr. Wen didn’t have to wait for long.”

He smiled at her. “It’s fine even if I had to wait.”

The two went inside and sat at the served place for them. Wen Zac pulled out the chair for her, and once they both were comfortable, the sudden awkwardness surrounded Lu Lian.

It didn’t hide from Wen Zac, and he spoke, “Feel free to talk. Not like our parents force us to meet like this.”

His words made her realize that it was her choice to meet him, and she nodded.

She had a sip of water from the glass that the attendant just put in front of them, and she cleared her throat.

“Last night…I called…” she again had a sip, not knowing how to continue and what reason to give to him that why she had called him suddenly.

Wen Zac could see through her awkwardness and spoke, “I was surprised with the sudden call, but later I thought about it and felt it’s not a bad idea.”

Lu Lian felt relieved to hear him and said, “It was so sudden, but I think it should be fine.”

“Of course, it is. Better late than never,” Wen Zac spoke, and Lu Lian could only smile politely. She herself took this decision but now didn’t know what to do.

Wen Zac observed her and spoke again, “Of course it’s fine as long as the end is us getting married.”

“Huh?” It surprised her, “That..” She felt a loss for words.

“I believe you didn’t call me suddenly to just go on for a few dinner dates like before,” Wen Zac commented.

“No, not like that….”

“Five dates!” He spoke again.

“Five dates…?”

“They say three fine dates are enough to decide, but I would like to go for five dates. Let’s go for good five dates, and you can decide whether you want to go ahead with marrying me,” Wen Zac said, staring into her eyes which looked calm, and his lips, as usual, carried a comforting light angelic smile.

Lu Lian looked at the man in front of her. Her thoughts about him were clear; he was a nice man. Since they met for the first time, he was always good to her and made her comfortable though they were more like strangers.

She knew she had to marry someone one day, and that person wouldn’t be Ming Rusheng ever, so why not Wen Zac. At least she knew he was a good person.

“Fine. I agree…..”

“Not so soon,” he interrupted her.

She looked at him to know what happened now, and he spoke again. “Those dates wouldn’t be just normal dinner dates like this.”

She looked at him questioningly, and he spoke again, “As we have decided to date, I would like to take the liberty to treat you like my girlfriend.”

‘What’s this all of a sudden?’ Lu Lian thought.

Seeing her all puzzled, he smiled inwardly and spoke, “Unless we treat each other closely, how can we know if we are compatible or not.”

“What does it include?” Lu Lian asked.

“Dates like normal couples who are about to fall in love,” he replied, and she still waited to hear him clearly as her heart skipped a bit to think what he would say.

“Long drive, movies, gifts, surprises, going with me to the parties, taking you out somewhere only two of us would be there….”

Lu Lian’s eyes were widening at each word from him, and the last one was yet to be there.

“Kiss, and if we are more comfortable then….”

“Cough!” Lu Lian choked at the water.

He passed her tissues, “Are you okay?”

She was about to get the tissue from him, but he dodged her hand and wiped her mouth.

She looked at that handsome face closely, who just focussed on dabbing on her lips and chin.

‘This man, he seemed to have changed a little, or is it that he has started to take everything seriously already,’ she thought, and the comforting thoughts came to her mind. ‘Well, if I plan to marry him, it should be fine…It should be fine,’ She convinced herself.

“I agree,” she said.

Wen Zac moved back and looked at her, “But this date is not counted in those five. This is just a start.”

Lu Lian nodded, “Fine.”

The two talked and finished the dinner as they planned for their next date, the first one out of those five.

“Next week?” Wen Zac asked.

Lu Lian nodded again, saying yes.

When two reached out, Wen Zac offered, “I will send you home.”

“I brought my car. It’s fine.”

“My driver can get it back to Lu Mansion,” Wen Zac said and held Lu Lian’s hand, “Let’s go.”

It shocked her. Already held her hand, and she could only walk with him towards his car.

He opened the car’s door and made her sit inside. He sat in the driver’s seat and drove towards the Lu Mansion. “After this, when we meet for the date, I will pick you up from your home,” Wen Zac informed.

“Hmm,” Lu Lian agreed but suddenly realized Wen Zac was taking all the decisions and she was only obeying it. Was it because she was the one who asked him to date her, and he feels he has the right to decide everything. Before when they met, he was so casual and sweet, but now he seemed a bit changed.

When they reached in front of Lu Mansion’s gate, Lu Lian spoke, “Drop me outside.”

Wen Zac agreed, knowing she didn’t want her family to know it yet.

Wen Zac stepped out of the car and opened the door for her. He offered her a hand to step out—such a gentleman.

Lu Lian stepped out, and Wen Zac looked at her for a moment. He tucked the loose strand of hair behind her ear and spoke, “Good night!”

“Good night!” Saying bye, Lu Lian entered the mansion, and Wen Zac’s driver had already brought her car to Lu Mansion.

——-

In Ming Mansion.

Few messages arrived on Ming Rusheng’s cell phone when he was standing by the gallery of his room holding the cigarette between his fingers, which created a white smoke.

Ming Rusheng picked up his cellphone from the table and checked the messages. It was what he was waiting for. He opened the messages and checked the pictures attached to them.

Those were the pictures of Wen Zac and Lu Lian- Both having dinner where they looked like smiling at each other, Wen Zac dabbing tissue on her lips as she closely stared at him, Wen Zac taking her in his car, both standing in front of Lu Mansion and in one picture Wen Zac was even tucking Lu Lian’s hair behind her ear. It looked like both liked each other already.

Ming Rusheng gripped the phone tightly as the frown lines appeared on his forehead. He felt like throwing his phone, but he controlled it. He was ready to see anything, then what was the need to react like this? Why did he even ask his men to get something like this for him that would only hurt him?
