Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband-Novel

Chapter 1329 Obeying Him As Her Innate Instinct

Jiang Yuyan was in her office. She had a lunch appointment with Alex. Along with Xiao Min, she reached the restaurant's luxurious hotel where the private room was booked. Jiang Yuyan entered the room where Alex was already waiting for her.

"Good afternoon, President Lu," Alex greeted her as he stood up from his chair around the circular dining table.

"Good afternoon," Jiang Yuyan greeted back and sat in the chair opposite to him that Xiao Min pulled out for her. Xiao Min stepped out along with the assistant of Alex, leaving the two to talk alone.

"I am here to inform you that the deal we had earlier, we don't have to go through with it," Jiang Yuyan informed.

"Seems like whatever issue president Lu had, it's solved now," Alex commented.

Jiang Yuyan nodded, "The deal was to have a fake engagement and I will leave with you for the USA and your company get the project that we planned. There is no need for engagement now."

Alex smiled, "I wonder if I should feel sad or…."

"The project won't be cancelled. It will proceed the same," she interrupted him.

"I am not referring to the project," Alex said, "Even if it was fake, for some time I would have had the privilege of being President Lu's fiance."

Jiang Yuyan didn't know what to say and Alex spoke, "Anyways I am happy that there is no issue for you now."

Jiang Yuyan nodded and he asked, "May I ask what exactly it was?"

"Something personal," she replied, not willing to explain.

Alex didn't mind it and asked, "Do you know why I agreed to accept your offer?"

Jiang Yuyan looked at him and nonchalantly answered, "The huge project I offered your company for the collaboration in the USA."

"Well, I won't say you are wrong, President Lu but you also know my company was the perfect partner for this project so there was nothing surprising when you offered it to me. It was a win-win for both sides as my company also needed yours," he answered. "I know President Lu never take any decision on a whim and you have thought out everything already."

Jiang Yuyan only looked at him and he said again, "I never had this much respect for any person in the business world how much I have for you. When you came to me and offered this deal, I agreed because I was curious to know what had shaken this strong woman to make such a decision to fake her engagement only to leave from here. But then whatever it was, I just wanted to help you."

"Thank you for being considerate," Jiang Yuyan said.

He smiled a little, "But there was also a hope that it might convert into reality."

"I will say, sorry to disappoint you then," Jiang Yuyan said coldly.

"Not really. I didn't expect the positive outcome anyways."

Just then the lunch arrived and they had it while talking about the business.

After lunch, Jiang Yuyan stood up to leave but Alex called her, "President Lu!"

She stopped and looked at him, "I heard Lu Lijun left for England."

"Hmm," she nodded.

"I hope it was the right decision."

"It is. It will help him grow in business."

"I was talking about you," he countered.

Jiang Yuyan, who was an acting firm till now, felt shaken by his words but collected herself immediately.

He continued, "I think he is the only one."

She gave him a questioning look.

"The one who can dare drag you with him and the one who you obey as your innate instinct," he replied to her unspoken question. It was clear that he had seen her and Lu Lijun that day on the naming ceremony.

She didn't reply to him and said, "I will take a leave now."

He nodded and said, "The last thing I want to say."

She waited for him, "Don't be so tough on yourself all the time. Sometimes letting yourself lose is fine."

Jiang Yuyan didn't react to it and left while the handsome man behind her only smiled lightly and mumbled. "Such a tough woman..."

In the car, Jiang Yuyan asked Xiao Min, "Did they reach?"

"Yes, boss."

"Ask Noah to shift with him," she instructed.

"I already did," Xiao Min replied. He knew she would be worried and didn't want Lu Lijun to be alone.

-------

Lu Lijun reached his home in London where Martha and Jerome were waiting to welcome him.

"Good Morning," the two greeted Lu Lijun and Noah.

"Good Morning."

Just as they reached the living room, Noah commented, "Seems like back to square one," he looked at Lu Lijun who was calm, "Isn't it."

Lu Lijun didn't react to it while Martha informed. "Fourth young master, your room is ready," and looked at Noah, "The next room is ready for you."

Nodding, Lu Lijun went to his room while Noah followed him to go to the room next to his. "Don't tell me you are going to be silent like this."

"I am tired, Noah,'' Lu Lijun said and went to his room.

-----

Martha and Jerome looked at each other.

"Seems like something had happened," Martha commented.

"Looks like it. Last time when he came, he was happy and talked about having someone…"

Martha agreed. "True! Seems like that girl has broken his heart."

-----

Lu Lijun went to his room and lay in bed. He stared at the ceiling. 'I don't know how I will be without even seeing her, without listening to her voice. Everything feels so empty.'

He let out a sigh and closed his eyes as only one name rang in his mind, 'Yuyan…Yuyan…'

After freshening up, he went to have breakfast and resumed work the moment he was free.

"Don't you want to rest?" Noah asked.

"No need," he replied.

"Is it like when your mind is empty you remember about her?" Noah asked.

"Why to ask when you know? Seems like you have a lot of experience of thinking about him," Lu Lijun replied sarcastically.

"It doesn't matter now. We are over," Noah informed.

"What do you mean? Lu Lijun asked.

"Just like you and her, we two are over as well. Well to think of it, we never even started to put an end to it."

Lu Lijun offered him a questioning gaze. Noah explained to him about everything that happened.

"You could have listened to his side," Lu Lijun asked.

Noah chuckled, "Just to hear that he was ashamed? Let's not talk about it." Follow current s on (f)ir(e).nᴇt - novelenglish.net . bin

Lu Lijun said nothing and the two resumed their work.
