Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Chapter 1157: Holding On To The Past

When Lu Lijun went to his office, Noah was not there. He always used to be present in the office even before Lijun would arrive there and greet him teasingly by calling him the fourth young master.

Lu Lijun found Noah’s absence strange as it could only be possible only if something serious had affected him.

Feeling worried about him, Lu Lijun pulled out his cellphone to call Noah and saw a missed call from Jake. First, Lu Lijun dialed Noah’s contact number. The call was cut that surprised Lu Lijun, but the next moment, his office door opened, and Noah entered the office in a hurry.

"Good morning, fourth young master," Noah greeted, as usual, smiling lightly and standing in front of Lu Lijun’s work table while catching his breath. It looked like he had almost run there.

"Are you okay?" Lu Lijun asked.

"Huh? What kind of question is it? Do I look sick to you?" Noah asked as he added, "I thought I am looking as handsome as always."

Lu Lijun didn’t buy this fake cool act of Noah and asked, "You are late today. Did something happen?"

Noah frowned as he looked at Lu Lijun, who sat in his chair behind the work table. "Man, I reached exactly ten seconds earlier than the office hours, and you think I am late. Do you know how difficult it was to wake up after spending a lovely night with Nicole?"

Lu Lijun offered him a questioning look, "You didn’t go home?" Just like Jake, Lu Lijun was familiar with Noah’s habits. He not going home was surprising, and now Lu Lijun understood the reason behind the call from Jake.

Ignoring Lu Lijun’s gaze, Noah replied, still acting cool, "You know after a tiring night...you know what I mean...."

"No, I don’t," said Lu Lijun, still carrying the cold expressions.

"Well, I was with Nicole, and of course, we didn’t play cards the entire night."

"Then what did you do?" Lu Lijun asked coldly, not letting this guy get his way out so easily.

"Sex! The entire night! Are you happy hearing it clearly from me now? Do you want me to give you more details about what and how we did?" Noah asked.

Not minding what Noah said, Lu Lijun asked calmly, "Make one more thing clear to me. Are you happy doing it with her?" Lu Lijun questioned.

"Who wouldn’t?" Noah replied and asked, "Why are you so interested in what I do? It seems like your wife didn’t pay attention to you."

"Don’t change the topic," Lu Lijun exclaimed as he glared at Noah. "Did you tell Jake that you wouldn’t be back?"

"He is not my father to update him about what I do," Noah countered.

Lu Lijun frowned in annoyance. Just then, his cellphone rang, and he checked it only to see Jake’s name flashing on the screen.

Lu Lijun kept the cellphone on his table received the call as he put it on speaker. He heard his friend asking the expected question, "Is Noah in office?"

"Hmm," Lu Lijun replied as he glared at Noah, who too heard what Jake asked. "Why did you ask?"

"He didn’t return home, so I was worried," Jake replied.

Noah heard it but didn’t show he had anything to do with what Jake said.

"Didn’t return home? Did something happen between you two?" Lu Lijun asked as his taunting gaze was fixed on Noah.

Noah, who was unaffected till now, moved to get the cellphone in order to turn it off after hearing what Lu Lijun had asked, but Lu Lijun picked it up before him and asked again on call, "Did you two fight?"

After a long pause, Jake replied. "Nothing much. Usual fight."

Hearing it, Noah felt relieved that Jake didn’t reveal anything to Lu Lijun.

They hung up the call, and Lu Lijun continued giving a death glare to Noah.

"What?" Noah asked.

"What happened between you two that you were trying to disconnect the call?"

"I just didn’t want you to bother with it when you already have so much work to do," Noah replied.

"It would be better if you show this much care to him," Lu Lijun commented, but Noah ignored it.

"Are you still holding on to things that happened in the past? Can’t you let it go and stop troubling yourself and him?" Lu Lijun asked.

Noah sat in the chair in front of him and stared into Lu Lijun’s eyes, "Can you let go of what happened in the past and stop troubling president Lu?"

"That’s totally different matter. My past will bring me together with her, but yours will take you away from him."

"Nothing is different. The common things are there. For example- there is one person who doesn’t want it, but the other one keeps trying and pushing the limits."

"You don’t want it?" Lu Lijun asked.

"As much as president Lu doesn’t want anything between you two," Noah replied.

"Right. As you say there are common things, then let me add one in the list too," said Lu Lijun.

"Shoot!"

"When the one keeps trying and pushing their limits, the other one has no will to resist it. What does this mean?"

"That means nothing....."

"That means something is there, but the other one just doesn’t want to accept it, given they have their own different reasons."

Noah frowned. "If you are done with your philosophical talk and don’t want to ruin our day, let’s get back to work, fourth young master."

Lu Lijun could only sigh and called Noah, who was ready to resume the work that they left half done.

"Noah!"

"Hmm?" Noah responded, being busy with the start of work.

"Don’t be like me. I don’t want you to regret later," said Lu Lijun.

"Don’t worry, I won’t," Noah assured with a casual reply, and Lu Lijun could say nothing more.

He just prayed for how he had to go through the tough path to realize his mistakes; Noah should realize it too. He just wished it not to take much time and his both friends to be happy together always.
