Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Lu Lijun Reached Jiang Yuyan's room and saw inside through the square-shaped glass fixed on the door to check if Jiang Yuyan was awake.

Seeing her sleeping, Lu Lijun opened the door and entered inside, where one nurse sat on the chair, which was there to monitor Jiang Yuyan.

The nurse remembered Lu Lijun as he was the one who continued sitting beside the patient silently for an hour, and no one stopped him.

The nurse stood up, seeing Lu Lijun, and informed, "The patient is sleeping."

"Hmm. When will she wake up?" Lu Lijun asked, his sight fixed on Jiang Yuyan.

"Most probably morning," the nurse informed.

"I'll stay here," Lu Lijun declared, and it was enough for the nurse to understand it was time for her to leave.

The nurse looked at him surprisingly as Lu Lijun already looked tired. His eyes were a bit red that showed he didn't sleep for long, his black shirt had wrinkles, and his hair looked a bit messy.

She wished to say he should rest, but it was not her place to do so, and she decided to obey the order. Also, who would dare to advise this cold-looking guy when he looked, even more, intimidating in his tired condition to say anything to him?

"If there is something, please press that green button to inform me," the nurse instructed and left.

Lu Lijun went towards the bed and stared at Jiang Yuyan; his eyes looked cold but underneath lay something that he was yet to recognize.

Jiang Yuyan was in a deep sleep to realize someone's presence beside her. Lu Lijun sat at the edge of the bed and held her hand just like before as if by holding her hand, he could assure she was fine.

He looked at the tiny bruise on her hand and caressed it with thumb lightly. Passing his sight from her fractured arm wrapped in a cast, he looked at her face.

There was a red bruise on her left cheekbone, which faded a bit from how it was when he saw it before. Lu Lijun was about to touch the bruise on her face but stopped when his hand was closer to her face.

He was in a dilemma whether he should be doing it or not, and if so, why he felt so different over such a small act of care.

Retreating his hand midway, he stood up from the bed and sat on the couch in the room, parallel to the bed but placed at a distance.

Lu Lijun sat on the couch lazily, resting at the back of it as he stretched his legs on the tiny center table, and his sight fixed on Jiang Yuyan.

Though he was tired and his eyes were sleepy because he hadn't slept since the previous night, he couldn't stop staring at her. He continued doing it till his eyes gave up, and he fell asleep after battling hard to stay awake for more than an hour.

San Zemin checked on Jiang Yuyan and saw Lu Lijun sleeping, so he didn't disturb and left from outside of the room. During the night, the nurse came a few times to check on Jiang Yuyan, but both the patient and Lu Lijun were in a deep sleep that they didn't know what was happening in the room.

The next morning Lu Lijun woke up and realized the sun was about to be out. He immediately sat straight and looked at Jiang Yuyan to check if she was awake.

Seeing her still sleeping, he gave out a sigh of relief and stepped out of the room, not making any sound.

He came across San Zemin outside of the room and spoke, "No need to tell anyone that I was here."

San Zemin understood what he meant. The nurse who was passing by, she heard it too, and Lu Lijun looked at her. She understood and bowed him in agreement.

Lu Lijun left to go home as he had to get back to the office too. Thankfully, when he reached home, no one was awake, and he could go to his room without anyone noticing him.

Xiao Min went to see Jiang Yuyan in the hospital, where he had to update her about the project.

"Good morning, boss," Xiao Min greeted after the nurse finished injecting Jiang Yuyan with the medicines.

She looked better and could sit comfortably and talk.

"Did you bring the files of the new project?" Jiang Yuyan asked.

"Fourth young master decided to work on it," Xiao Min informed.

"Hmm, keep updating me. I'll be in office soon," said Jiang Yuyan, and just then elder Lu entered the room, who came to see her.

"That soon will come after a month," Elder Lu said as he declared, "No more work for you at least for a month now."

"Grandpa…"

"I won't listen to you this time," elder Lu interrupted her, and she didn't argue, giving up to him as always.

Lu Feng, who came along with elder Lu, entered the room, "I agree with grandpa."

Jiang Yuyan gave him a narrowed eyes look, as if saying, 'Not you too,' but Lu Feng didn't budge.

The next few days, Jiang Yuyan spent in the hospital though there was no need. The family insisted the doctor keep Jiang Yuyan in the hospital; if not, she would start working right away after the discharge.

Lu Lijun had the same routine during those few days. Working on a project during office hours, then spending the rest of the time researching Lu Qiang's accident. At midnight, go to the hospital and sleep on the couch in Jiang Yuyan's room, trying not to sleep and stare at her. Then early morning leaving the hospital before Jiang Yuyan could wake up and secretly go back to his room in the Lu Mansion.

Finally, it was the day that Jiang Yuyan returned to Lu Mansion. It was the weekend, so the entire family was at home, but Lu Lijun.

"Your leg is hurt, so I have arranged the room for you on this floor," Ning Jiahui informed Jiang Yuayn when they were in the living room after returning from the hospital.

"It's better now. I can…." Jiang Yuyan tried to say no.

"I know, but the doctor instructed not to do anything to put pressure on the feet, so few days give it rest," Niag Jiahui interrupted her.

Jiang Yuyan couldn't say no and agreed unwillingly. Staying in another room and not in her room was like staying away from Lu Qiang, and she didn't want it.

Others, too, agreed with Ning Jiahui, and unwillingly Jiang Yuan went to the new room assigned to her.
