Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Chapter 875 I Don't Care...

The next morning, Lu Lijun woke up feeling tired as he couldn’t sleep. The reason he thought was that he was not used to sleeping on the floor while he ignored the real reason.

Freshening up, when he was ready to go downstairs for breakfast, he felt nervous as finally, he would face that person after so many years.

He went downstairs where elder Lu, his father, and uncle were discussing the latest news. Lu Feng just entered the mansion as he returned from early morning jogging.

"Morning," Lu Feng greeted; he drenched with sweat, and his clothes stuck to his body, taking its shape.

"Morning, elder brother."

Lu Feng greeted others and looked at Lu Lijun, "I’ll be back." Lu Feng needed to have a bath, so he left.

Lu Lijun’s eyes searched for someone, but there was no one, and he heard elder Lu calling him.

"Lu Lijun, come here."

Lu Lijun sat on the sofa, and elder Lu asked, "Were you able to sleep nicely?"

"Hmm!"

"Good to know, I thought you are used to a different timezone so you might not be able to sleep."

Lu Jinhai turned off the television and said, "Today, would you like to come with me to the office?"

"Is there anything important?" Lu Lijun asked as he didn’t know whether to say yes or not to his father.

"Let him stay home. What’s so hurry? He is back after so long, and you don’t want him to be home," elder Lu interrupted.

Lu Jinhai agreed, "Hmm, some other day, then?"

The servant informed them to come for breakfast. Everyone went there as the two ladies in the home were instructing the servants. Ning Jiahui did her best to make everything that Lu Lijun liked, and Su Hui helped her.

Again, everyone was there but Jiang Yuyan.

"Where is Yuyan?" Elder Lu asked, and Just then, someone entered the dining room.

"Here she is," Ning Jiahui informed.

Lu Lijun sat facing his back to the dining-room door, so he couldn’t see her but could sense someone was stepping closer, and his heart beats started to take up a pace.

Wearing her usual office clothes, white shirt, black skirt as she held the black jacket in her hand, Jiang Yuyan entered the dining room.

Her hair tied in a bun at the back of her head, light or no makeup as she never needed it, just tiny studs in the ear and the chain and pendant gifted by Lu Qiang hung outside her shirt as the two top buttons were undone,

Hanging her black jacket to the chair’s backrest, Jiang Yuyan sat in the chair, which was on Lu Lijun’s right side, perpendicular to him that he could easily see her, but he didn’t.

With his sight lowered towards his dish, Lu Lijun noticed two feet in black heels from the corner of his eyes when Jiang Yuyan sat in the chair.

Lu Lijun tried to be calm, getting hold of his anxious self as he didn’t know what was happening to him. He didn’t react to anything as if he didn’t know what was going on around.

"Finally, you are here, or I thought I wouldn’t see you for a week again," elder Lu commented.

"I am sorry, grandpa," she spoke and looked at grandma, "How are you feeling, grandma?"

"I am fine, dear, but you don’t look good," said grandma as she asked, "Aren’t you sleeping well these days?"

Hearing it, Lu Lijun wanted to look at her but abandoned the thought, thinking, ’I don’t care.’

It was the first time after so long that he heard her. Her voice clear as she sat beside him. Her presence was something he couldn’t deny. Still, he didn’t look at her; he wondered how she looked now.

Lu Feng and Lu Lian could see Lu Lijun didn’t talk, and others too could sense the awkwardness knowing these two never talked to each other.

There was a time when these two couldn’t be without each other and now they didn’t even look at each other.

They all thought Lu Lijun was upset with her, and it was obvious to guess as she never contacted him.

Her reason was not wrong, though, as she wanted him to forget a few things, and if she continued to be in contact with him and keep caring and pampering him, he would never forget about the things that she didn’t want him to remember.

Among these two, no one was at fault, and no one to be blamed as they had their reasons.

"How have you been, Lu Lijun?" Finally, Yuyan asked as she looked at him and others looked at these both to know what they will talk.

Lu Lijun was surprised by this sudden question directed at him and looked at her.

Finally, their sights met. Jiang Yuyan’s sight, devoid of any meaning or emotion that showed he was no one special to her, and she talked casually, while his sight showed he was surprised and tried to know her looking into her eyes, but there was nothing to understand.

Averting his sight to look at the food in front of him, Lu Lijun replied, "Good."

His voice was cold and firm, and it looked like he didn’t want to talk more as he started eating.

Yuyan focused on her breakfast, and no one talked further as everything seemed awkward.

Elders looked at each other to know what to do now, and the elder Lu signaled Lu Lian to talk something as she sat beside Jiang Yuyan.

Lu Lian herself didn’t know what to do, but the next moment realized the insisting gaze from her parents’ direction.

Lu Lian looked at Lu Feng, who sat opposite her, asking for help, her sight full of pleading.

Though Jiang Yuyan and Lu Lian had not much age difference and used to be like friends in the past, now Jiang Yuyan was a different person for Lu Lian, and she was somewhat scared of her.

When Lu Lian looked at Lu Feng, the others too looked at him, and he sighed. Not having any option, he finally spoke.

"How is office work going, Yuyan?" Lu Feng asked.

"As usual," she replied.

"You are coming to city S, uncle told me. Is everything good with that project?" Lu Feng asked again.

"Hmm, I will be there next week," Jiang Yuyan replied. She never talked more than required, and this where it was hard to communicate with her.

Something came to Lu Jinhai’s mind, and he spoke as he looked at Jiang Yuyan, "Then Take Lu Lijun with you. He can learn something."

"If he wants to," Jiang Yuyan replied, but they heard the cold voice before anyone could say something.

"I don’t want to."

Others looked at Lu Lijun, but he didn’t even bother to look at anyone as his decision was final.

Lu Jinhai wished to convince him, "But��"

"It’s okay if he doesn’t want to," Jiang Yuyan interrupted.

"Anyways, I am going back soon," Lu Lijun added, and it made everyone silent.

They wished Lu Lijun to stay back, but no one could force him. He returned home after so many years was a big deal for them.

"Okay, don’t go with her, but at least you can come with me to the office till then," Lu Jinhai insisted, and Lu Lijun didn’t have the heart to cross his father.

"Hmm."

With this much, others were happy. Lu Jinhai could only think about what he could do to make him stay.

"Excuse me."

Lu Lijun stood up and left. Though he finished what was in his dish, one could see he ate a little.

Others didn’t feel good as they felt like eating nothing while Jiang Yuyan looked unaffected and continued eating calmly.

Once she was done, she left with Lu Jinhai to go to Lu Corporation.

------

Lu Lijun went to the garden where he saw Jiang Yuyan leaving in her car. Standing far away, he continued staring at her car until it disappeared from his sight.

He was angry, but he didn’t know why. He felt like kicking or breaking something to vent his anger somewhere but had to swallow it as he clenched his fists.

’She doesn’t care,’ he thought.

He sat in the gazebo, leaning forward, his head lowered down as his elbows rested on the thighs. The moment he closed his eyes, her face flashed in his mind when she looked at him during breakfast and talked to him.

She still looked pretty like before that he would want to keep staring at her for eternity, but something was changed in her.

She looked a mature woman now opposite her young self when they spent a happy time together, teasing and fighting.

Her beautiful golden brown hair with a red tinge in it, which always left often and made her look lively young girl, was now tied in a bun.

Her starry golden brown eyes, which always brightened up now, looked devoid of any emotion. Looking into her eyes, it was hard to tell what she was thinking or what was going on in her mind.

For the first time, he felt like he couldn’t see through her as if she closed all the doors that could lead his way to her thoughts, and it made him restless.

’Did she really change? But why do I care? I don’t care,’ repeating the same thing in his mind, he tried to convince himself that he didn’t care but couldn’t stop thinking about her.
