Chapter 1115: You Know The Answer

The Jiang siblings went to the ice cream shop.

"Which flavor would you like to have?" Jiang Yang asked.

Jiang Yuyan, who was in a daze since the moment she saw Lu Lijun, didn't hear her brother as she sat quietly in the chair around a table.

"Why are you acting as if you have seen a ghost?" Jiang Yang asked as he snapped his fingers in front of her dazed eyes.

"Huh?"

"I asked which flavor would you like?" he asked again.

"Anything is fine," she replied, and Jiang Yang left, not bothering her much. Moreover, he knew what his sister liked.

While eating ice cream, Jiang Yuyan didn't talk much.

"What's troubling you? Is it Lu Lijun?" Jiang Yang asked straightaway.

She looked at him in surprise.

"Since you left Lu Mansion, you didn't talk about him when he is the only one you are always concerned about. Both of you didn't even talk if I'm not wrong."

"He is busy clearing the mess he created, and I don't need to be concerned about him now. He can handle himself," Jiang Yuyan replied.

Jiang Yang didn't believe his sister and chuckled. "Really? Then why do you get all the updates about him from your well-trained spy, Xiao Min?"

"I'm concerned about Lu Corporation," she countered.

"Since when did Lu Corporations become more important to you than him?"

"It's Lu Qiang's...."

"Isn't Lu Lijun a part of Lu Qiang too?" Jiang Yang interrupted, knowing what his sister would say.

"Brother, what are you trying to say?"

"Before, you were never bothered by talking about Lu Lijun, but now you avoid talking about him. I know there must be a reason, and I want to know it," Jiang Yang answered.

"He has troubled me a lot since he returned, and now I'm done with it," she replied.

"Or there is something that you don't want to tell me,"

Jiang Yuyan glared at her brother. "Yeah, I don't want to. Will you still insist on asking?"

She knew her brother always caught her, so there was no meaning in denying it again and again.

"I saw him standing on the other side of the road," said Jiang Yang.

COUGH!

"Is it?" She asked, playing nonchalantly.

"Not just today; he has been there every night since you left Lu Mansion," Jiang Yang replied. "If you are bothered by him, tell me. I'll go and put some sense in his immature brain. I was holding back just because he is not just anybody but Lu Qiang's brother."

"No need. I'll talk to him," Jiang Yuyan replied.

The two left in the car once they were done. Reaching closer to the apartment building, Jiang Yuyan searched for Lu Lijun, but he was not there where she saw him previously.

'Is he gone?' She thought.

"Drop me here," Jiang Yuyan instructed.

"Looks like he has left," said Jiang Yang.

"I'll take a walk then."

"At this hour?"

"You should worry about the ones who would dare to trouble me."

"I tend to forget who my innocent sister is." Jiang Yang stopped the car, and Jiang Yayan stepped out as the car entered the main gate of the building. He knew his sister could protect herself.

She looked around, but there was no sign of Lu Lijun, and neither was his car.

She walked along the road, thinking he was gone.

'I guess it's good, or I don't know what to talk about with him,' she thought, walking immersed in her thoughts.

Just as she crossed a little distance, she heard the familiar voice.

"What are you doing out at this hour?"

Hearing it, Jiang Yuyan froze in her place, and her heart beat faster. She heard the light footsteps from her behind coming closer to her. The person stood behind her, and she turned.

Lu Lijun stood there looking at her, and her eyes looked at him as they showed she was shocked and anxious.

"I asked, what are you doing here?" Lu Lijun repeated, staring into her eyes as he stood his hands tuck in his pants pocket.

She got back to her senses and was about to say, "I...." but before that, Lu Lijun hugged her, holding her tightly as if she would leave if he wouldn't hold her.

Jiang Yuyan couldn't even push the tall figure as her hands hung helplessly on the side.

"Let me go," she said in a low voice as it was hard for her even to breathe.

"I thought I could never see you again," he spoke, not letting her go.

"Let me go first," came one more indifferent instruction.

When he felt all emotional, she seemed cold, and he didn't like it.

Lu Lijun let her go, and she glared at him. "What are you doing here at this hour?"

"I came to see my wife, who I missed," he replied coldly just as she did. The emotional side that came out from him buried somewhere, seeing her not affected with his presence just how much he was affected and longed for her.

Jiang Yuyan frowned, looking at him in disbelief. She thought that he would be back to his senses once she was away, and he would realize his mistake, but he was still the same.

Jiang Yuyan took a step back as he said something that she didn't wish to hear.

Lu Lijun removed the casual white jacket that he wore over the T-shirt.

"Stop saying it. I am not your wife. That was just....."

"Must be a game for you but not for me," he replied and stepped towards her.

Not giving her a chance to step back, he put his jacket around her waist and pulled her closer, holding his jacket's sleeves on either side of her waist.

"You can't...." She tried to get away but heard him, "Though I like to see you in such clothes, I don't like it when others stare at you." He replied calmly while focused on tying the sleeves of his jacket in front of her stomach.

She looked around and saw a few men passing by were staring at her and especially at her legs.

"I don't care if they see," Jiang Yuyan countered and tried to stop him from securing the knot of his jacket.

Tugging the jacket to pull her closer and keep her steady, Lu Lijun stared into her eyes as if warning her.

"But I care. Would you like to keep this jacket or want me to pull out a few pairs of eyes?"

Lu Lijun looked cold and serious as if he really meant it. He was normal a while ago, but it didn't take him time to change into someone scary that made Jiang Yuyan wary of him. One could only think, how can he change so fast? Or was it more like if things didn't go according to his wish, he changed into a scary one. Well, he has been like this since he was a kid.

If it was someone else, the person would have been tasting the dust on the ground but in front of Lu Lijun, she was just helpless as he was her weakness which always managed to turn her the weakest person that no one ever made her feel.

Feeling helpless at his behavior, she asked, staring back at him. "Why are you like this, Lu Lijun. Why are you doing this? You are ruining everything."

"You know the answer. Would you like me to repeat it? I won't be tired confessing to you again and again," he replied.
