Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Around dawn, Jiang Yuyan woke up and felt the warmth around her that she hadn't felt for quite a while now. Without even opening her eyes, she knew it was Lu Lijun who was sleeping in her bed.

Before she used to feel annoyed with it but now she found it equally comforting, 'Is it because it's winter?'

She didn't move in a fear that he would wake up and trouble her but didn't feel it right to sleep so closer to him. He was surrounding his hand around her as she slept with her head against his chest that she could feel his steady breathing with his chest moving up and down. Even in the deep sleep, his hand was holding her tightly to not let her move an inch.

The warmth coming from him, that scent of perfume still lingering on his white shirt, and that rhythmic breathing could affect any normal person in such a cozy atmosphere in the dimly lit room and she felt her heart beating faster.

"I am sure out of my mind these days" she sighed and her mind couldn't help but drift to some memories with Lu Lijun which caused her heart to go even crazier. With this closeness, she could hear his heartbeats too.

Subconsciously, her hand that she had folded against her own chest, she moved towards his chest to check but realizing what she was doing, she stopped her hand just before she would place it on his chest. 'What am I doing?' she cursed herself, 'I need to get out of here.'

Just as she thought it, her hand that she retreated was held by a strong grip and the next moment it was placed on his chest, on his heart.

Under her palm, she could feel the warm skin under that white shirt and the heart beating faster in its place. She tried to pull her hand but she heard him talk over her head, "No one stopped you from touching me. Why are you so shy?"

Jiang Yuyan didn't dare look at him and instead focus on pulling her hand back.

Seeing the stubborn struggling woman, Lu Lijun pushed her to lay on her back and held her both hands to pin them on her side, and looked at her with his sleepy eyes as their faces were so close that his hair strands touched her forehead and his nose tips brushed against her.

They stared at each other but there was no conversation. Jiang Yuyan could feel his hot breath fanning against her cheeks as both of their hearts were beating faster.

It was the first time Jiang Yuyan said nothing to him and instead stared back at him. To Lu Lijun, it was like her silent approval though she looked more puzzled with her own thoughts and feelings. She didn't ask him to move away like she always did but she didn't look sure either.

Lu Lijun glanced at her trembling lips and was about to kiss her, just then the alarm on the bedside table buzzed and it disturbed them. Jiang Yuyan immediately moved her face to one side. Lu Lijun pecked on her cheeks and moved away as he stepped out of the bed. He directly got out of the bed and left Jiang Yuyan's room after silencing the alarm.

Jiang Yuyan, who was facing the opposite side, turned her face to look at the door which was just closed after Lu Lijun left. She exhaled deeply and closed her eyes as she could still feel her heart beating faster.

It was surprising that he left without troubling her when he didn't even listen when she asked him not to. More than him, she was surprised about herself.

'If that alarm had not disturbed, was I going to let him…..' Even thinking about it was not easy for her and she stopped.

'Can't be. It's just…It's just....' she couldn't find an excuse for her own actions and frowned, 'This is not what I want. I need to put an end to all this once and for all.'

After that morning, Lu Lijun had already left with Lu Feng and Jiang Yuyan didn't see him. After two days Ming Rusheng had regained his consciousness but as the doctor said, he was not reacting much to anything, other than looking at the people for a few seconds and closing his eyes back.

Doctors and nurses kept communicating with him to keep his brain active and asked others to do the same. For the past three to four days he reacted to no one but as the week passed by, he had started responding to doctors only.

Both the family members kept visiting him and so did Lu Lian. She used to talk with him about random things from anywhere or from the office and in return she only got a silent stare from him.

He had yet not started speaking and doctors were yet to determine the extent of the damage.

The next two weeks passed by and Ming Rusheng had finally started talking but there was an issue about him remembering things clearly which was inevitable.

"Mr. Ming, the progress is really good and you can even talk now. About the memory issue, there might be certain things, you can't remember clearly at the moment, but it's just temporary. It's almost a month since the accident and it will take one more month for you to recover. After that, we can start proper therapy to help you settle the proper recovery and there won't be any complications."

Ming Rusheng only nodded to it as he looked at his family members who looked relieved.

"Grandpa, what is that long face?" Ming Rusheng, who was lying in his bed while still having his head wrapped in bandages, asked in his low voice.

"I can't be fine until you get on your feet," Grandpa said.

Someone was there to visit Ming Rusheng and Ming Yusheng brought the person to the VIP patient suit.

"My friend is here to see you," Ming Yusheng said and Ming Rusheng stared at the person for a while but couldn't recognize him.

"Don't stress your brain. You know him but might not remember him. He lives in the USA but returned only to visit you. You visit him often when you go to the USA"

Though Ming Rusheng couldn't recognize the person, he greeted him.

Lu Lian was always around but Ming Rusheng never showed any sign of recognizing her, other than just staring at her whenever she came to visit him.

In the evening, Lu Lian came to visit him after finishing office work. In absence of Ming Rusheng, she returned to work for the Ming industries and handled all the projects along with Ming Yusheng.

Though he didn't pay any attention to her as if she was a stranger, Lu Lian was being patient. It was almost one month but she still was calm.

"Grandpa, why is she always here?" Ming Rusheng asked the elder Ming.

Lu Lian was calm and was peeling fruits for him while sitting in one chair.

Just then Ming Yusheng and Lu Jinhai arrived there to see Ming Rusheng after they finished their work and heard it too.

"Well, you don't recognize her? She is Lu Huan's Grand-daughter," elder Lu replied, feeling bad about Lu Lian. His grandson had forgotten the woman he loved the most.

"That I know. But why is she always here?" he asked.

Everyone felt puzzled about what to answer him but then heard a shocking statement from someone.

"I am here to take care of my husband," Lu Lian replied and looked at him.

Ming Rusheng could only look at her quietly as she approached him with a plate of fruits and heard her again, "Though my husband has forgotten me, I can't forget him."

She picked up a fruit slice in a fruit fork and held it in front of him to eat it.

Ming Rusheng quietly ate it while the entire room had turned into a silent place.
