Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Keeping himself busy with work was the only way to distract himself from going to her. Lu Lijun agreed and the two went to the restaurant to have dinner together.

"You didn't eat properly even during lunch. Starving yourself won't bring her to you," Noah commented. "Eat well as you need the strength to face anything that will come in your way."

Silent Lu Lijun didn't react and continued eating food and swallowing down his throat with many efforts.

After the dinner, Noah didn't wish to leave him alone and asked, "Would you like to come to my home?"

"Not today," Lu Lijun said and turned to his car.

Noah could not stop him, "Go safe and I hope you will go to your home only."

Lu Lijun didn't answer and sat in his car as he left.

"This guy…I sure will go to her," Noah sighed.

Lu Lijun went to Jiang Yuyan's home as he knew she must be there only if she was not at Jiang Residence which he got to know through Lu Feng. Lu Lijun parked his car in the parking lot and no one stopped him. He saw a familiar car parked there and it didn't take him time to recognize whose car it was.

'Brother An Tian? What is he doing here?' Lu Lijun thought and went towards the main building.

When he entered the living room, two servants were present there standing quietly and looking worried while their sight was fixed towards upstairs. Lu Lijun had expected to see Xiao Min and the butler there but they were not there and the atmosphere looked a little tense.

"What happened?" Lu Lijun asked two servants.

Finally, those two realized someone was there and bowed to him, "Fourth Young Master."

"I asked what happened?" Lu Lijun repeated.

"Young mistress….."

Before they could finish saying anything, Lu Lijun strode towards the staircase. He had a bad feeling about it and cursed himself if it was because of him.

He reached closer to Jiang Yuyan's room only to hear the painful voice of a woman and the voice of a man who was trying to say something to her. He recognized both voices- Yuyan and An Tian.

Yuyan, why is she in pain? Thinking he ran towards the room only to get the view blocked by Xiao Min and the butler standing facing their backs at the door.

"Ahh…."

"Yuyan, stay still. You need to get injected."

Lu Lijun heard it and walked past the butler and Xiao Min who were shocked to see him there. Yuyan was on the floor curled into a ball while clutching her chest and she looked in pain while An Tian was trying to communicate with her.

The next moment she waved her hand only to stop An Tian from injecting her which resulted in dropping the syringe on the floor.

Scared, Lu Lijun hurried towards her and kneeled on the floor next to her while Xiao Min and the butler could not stop him from doing so.

"Yuyan, what happened to you?" he asked worriedly and tried to get her in his embrace.

Though Yuyan was in immense pain with her eyes closed, she recognized the voice and the touch of a man. She looked at him with her teary eyes as she had no strength left to resist when he held her in his arms.

"You…go…away…." she managed to say it in her painful voice.

Lu Lijun didn't let go of her. Instead, he held her tight and hugged her, "I won't. I won't ever go away."

She tried to resist but there was no strength left in her but she could not deny she felt better in his embrace. She felt as if her pain was starting to settle and she didn't want it. She wanted to have that pain and suffer even more as if she was paying for any of her sins.

"Let…go…."

Lu Lijun didn't listen to her and looked at An Tian who was only looking at the two, "What happened to her. Why are you not doing anything?"

An Tian got another syringe from the box and this time he could inject her as Lu Lijun had held her. Jiang Yuyan was idle and didn't move at all as tears continued to roll down her eyes. Lu Lijun looked at her and wiped her tears while she opened her eyes and only looked at him. It was impossible to guess anything from her sight but Lu Lijun didn't care. He lifted her in his arms and put her on the bed.

She closed her eyes as the medicines had started to show their effect on her and she didn't look in pain. Lu Lijun sat at the edge of the bed as he fixed the loose hair strands stuck at her wet cheeks.

Bring me the wet towel," Lu Lijun instructed. The butler went to the bathroom while An Tian and Xiao Min could not say anything to him. An Tian was sure Lu Lijun had so many questions for him and he had to answer them all.

An Tian went to Jiang Yuyan. He checked her pulse and other parameters which seemed to be normal to him and said, "I'll see you tomorrow."

Lu Lijun nodded. Though he had a lot to ask about her he didn't wish to leave Jiang Yuyan alone even for a moment.

An Tian left while the butler returned with the wet towel and water pot.

"You can leave," Lu Lijun instructed the other two who obeyed and left.

Lu Lijun cleaned Jiang Yuyan's face which was covered with tears and sweat. All the while his eyes didn't leave the sight of her face even for a moment as his eyes were filled with so many emotions at the same time. Once he finished wiping up her face and neck, he put the wet towel aside and removed the shoes. He didn't know what exactly to do and the only solution he always found was to hold her in his embrace and make her feel safe.

He covered both of them with a blanket and held her closer in his embrace as he could feel her steady breathing. He gently stroked her hair as he continued to think, 'Are you like this because of me? Accepting my love, is that painful for you?'

His eyes turned teary while remembering Jiang Yuyan's condition when he just reached her room. All he wanted was to give her happiness but seeing her in such a state was painful for him. Though it was she who was feeling the pain, he felt like he himself was hurting.

Jiang Yuyan didn't wake up the entire night due to the effects of medicines but she had a peaceful long sleep, feeling protected in a warmth filled embrace. The next morning she woke up, Lu Lijun was not there. Jiang Yuyan looked at the empty place in the bed which showed that someone was sleeping there and she knew who that someone was. She remembered Lu Lijun seeing her in her worst condition that she never wanted him to see her in.

Jiang Yuyan immediately sat up in the bed as she needed to make up something to cover what happened to her the previous night. She stepped out of the bed and went downstairs to check for him. Seeing her Xiao Min and the butler bowed to her.

"Where is Lu Lijun?" Jiang Yuyan asked.

"Fourth young master left early in the morning. He has asked you to rest," Xiao Min informed.

"Did he ask anything?" she asked.

"No, boss. He just left," Xiao Min informed.

It surprised Jiang Yuyan. 'Where did he go early morning?' she thought and then asked, "Xiao Min, did he ask something? like what happened to me?"

"No, boss. He left even before I woke up," Xiao Min replied.

Jiang Yuyan then looked at the butler and he answered her unspoken question, "Fourth Young Master didn't ask anything. He just told me to take care of you."

Just then something clicked in her mind and she looked at Xiao Min, "Give me your cell phone." She needed to make an urgent call and didn't have the patience to go back to her room. "Dial An Tian's contact number."

Xiao Min did so. She got the cellphone from Xiao Min and waited for him to pick up the call but it went unattended. Jiang Yuyan felt her palms turn sweaty, 'I hope he didn't go to An Tian."

She dialled An Tian's contact number but the call went unattended. 'Why is he not answering?' she felt annoyed at it.

"Boss, it's fine if he gets to know about your condition. That way he will try to be reasonable...."

Jiang Yuyan glared at Xiao Min which interrupted him, "He doesn't need to know anything."

"Understood, boss."

Jiang Yuyan returned to her room and was waiting to get a return call from An Tian as she greeted her teeth and clenched her fists. "If he tells him anything, I will break his hands and legs and throw him down the hill."
