Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Chapter 1318 Why Do You Reject My Feelings For You?

”Yuyan and Lu Lijun didn’t return home yesterday. Did you ask about them?” Elder Lu asked his son.

”I called Lu Lijun and he is with Lu Feng while Yuyan is at her place where she often spends her time. Both are fine, Rest assured father,” Lu Jinhai informed. 

”Yuyan didn’t even call once or come back home. I am afraid she might not want to return ever,” Elder Lu commented, sounding sad.

”Why do you feel so, father? It’s her home and family. If she wanted to leave, she would have done it long back. I am sure she will be back soon.”

”I don’t want either one of those two to leave. After so long entire family is together so I wish it can stay like this.”

”Father, give it some time.”

”I am getting old to be patient now. I only hope, before I die, everything should be like before,” elder Lu who always cheered everyone despite the situation, looked broken for the first time. Seemed like the older man was stating his last wish. 

Hearing these words, everyone turned sad. 

”Grandfather, Lu Lijun will make everything fine. They both will be with us. Trust me,” Lu Lian said as she sat next to her grandpa and consoled him, “And I trust Lu Lijun, grandpa. He is like brother Lu Qiang though a little stubborn. But he will never let this family fall apart. Moreover, he will first think about Yuyan and what she wants.”

Elder Lu looked at his grand-daughter, his eyes full of hope as if he wanted to trust each and every word she said.

”Yes, father, I feel the same,” Lu Jinhai added.

Lu Lijun had breakfast with Lu Feng. 

”Are you going somewhere?” Lu Feng asked, looking at Lu Lijun who was ready neatly in casual clothes. 

Lu Lijun nodded, “Last night I told you I have to talk to her.”

”Hmm!” Lu Feng just hummed. He didn’t want to decide anything for Lu Lijun and wanted to let them do things in a way he found right. Moreover, he himself didn’t know what exactly to do as he didn’t know how Jiang Yuyan would react. 

”I’ll take a leave?” Lu Lijun stood up. 

”Lu Lijun?” Lu Feng called.

He looked at Lu Feng, “Yes, brother.”

”After you talk to her, come to me,” Lu Feng instructed. 

Lu Lijun nodded and left. 

Lu Feng knew talking to her would not be easy for Lu Lijun and if things didn’t go as Lu Lijun had thought, Lu Feng knew he would be hurt and wanted his brother to be with him, in this safe shelter. 

——-

Lu Lijun went to Jiang Yuyan’s home as he knew she would be there only. It was a sunday and she would not go to the office. 

Jiang Yuyan was standing by the glass wall of her room and saw the familiar car arriving at her home. 

’Why is he here again?’ Jiang Yuyan thought and immediately went to dial the number on the intercom. 

The butler received the call and heard her, “Tell Lu Lijun that I am not home,” and hung up the call.

The butler, who didn’t even get the chance to say a word, heard the beep of a call getting cut and looked puzzled. His confusion cleared the next moment when he saw Lu Lijun entering the living room and directly walking towards the stairs to the floor above.

”F-Fourth Young master….Young mistress….”

”I know she is here. Don’t worry, I am not here to trouble her but to have small talk,” Lu Lijun interrupted him and climbed stairs, without giving the butler a chance to say a word.

Butler didn’t follow him either and only prayed for everything to be fine once Lu Lijun went to Jiang Yuyan.

Lu Lijun knocked at the door. Jiang Yuyan thought it’s a butler but didn’t react as she heard, “I am coming in.”

Jiang Yuyan didn’t answer but Lu Lijun oepend the door as he saw Jiang Yuyan standing by the glass wall as her back faced the door. Though she acted like she didn’t want to talk to him, somewhere in her heart she wished to know why he was there. Was he there to apologize and take back whatever he said till now? If so, then it will be better.

”Yuyan?” Lu Lijun called her. 

Jiang Yuyan didn’t react but Lu Lijun knew she didn’t ask him to leave, that means she was willing to hear him. 

”I am here to talk with you. Can we?” he asked. 

Jiang Yuyan still didn’t reply as she stood looking outside of the glass wall. She would not turn till she hear what she expected from him. 

”I’ll take it as yes,” Lu Lijun said as he continued, “I know you have been hurting for a long time and I apologize for everything you have gone through. Whatever I made you go through by hurting you before, I apologize for that too.”

Jiang Yuyan understood that Lu Lijun now knew everything. “My condition has nothing to do with anyone. It’s my own issue,” she countered. “No one has to apologize to me.”

”But I can be with you in it,” he said, “We can go through it together with me by your side always and we will make sure you will be out of it.”

”I am fine the way I am. I don’t need anyone and their care. Leaving me alone would be a greater help,” she replied. 

”Do you really not like me or is there another reason that you keep rejecting me? I won’t accept the fact that you don’t want anyone in your life as you have agreed to see Alex. You are fine with him but me. Did I do something wrong for you to not accept me? Did I end up hurting you that you can’t forgive me for that?” he questioned. 

After a long pause, she replied, “There is nothing like that.”

”Then why do you reject my feelings for you? Is it because you can’t be a mother?”

After Lu Lijun said it, there was a deadly silence on Jiang Yuyan’s end.
