Chapter 1333: Witnessing The Unpleasant
On her first day in England, Jiang Yuyan stayed with Lu Lijun in the hospital. She didn't have to ask Lu Lijun to stay with him and neither did he ask why she was still there. It was a wordless understanding that things will go like this.
During the night she slept on the couch in Lu Lijun's hospital room. In the middle of the night, Lu Lijun woke up and saw her sleeping soundly. His mind was chaotic but he didn't wish to face his thoughts. He wanted to restrict himself from thinking she was the woman he loved and wished to keep his thoughts neutral. He was following it for the past four months and he will never give up on how he had been controlling his mind and heart.
He closed his eyes and turned his face to another way so he would not want to look at her.
The next day Jiang Yuyan woke up and found him sleeping. She left to go home leaving Noah with her. When he woke up, Noah was there, "Morning, Lijun."
Lu Lijun looked at him, who was sitting on the couch. Jiang Yuyan was not there but he didn't ask Noah where she was.
"President Lu has gone back home. When you are not well, she has work to do," he informed.
Lu Lijun didn't react and only tried to sit up for which Noah helped him.
Getting updates about Lu Lijun from Noah, Jiang Yuyan went to Lu Lijun's office which he had set up here in England. As expected of Lu Corporations any office was as lavish as it could be. The number of employees was only a few that Lu Lijun needed.
When Jiang Yuyan went to the office, all the employees stood to greet her. As instructed by Noah, the guy named Keith took charge of introducing the office to Jiang Yuyan.
"Mr. Noah said, President Lu can use Mr. Lijun's office for now," Keith informed and he then looked at Xiao Min, "Mr. Min can use Mr. Naoh's office."
Keith guided Jiang Yuyan's way towards Lu Lijun's office. He used a key card and unlocked the door. Once they entered the office Keith informed, "all the files related to the current project I have arranged on the table and all the data is there in Mr Lijun's personal computer. I will be here to attend President Lu for any help."
"Thank you," Jiang Yuyan said as she sat in Lu Lijun's chair. Keith turned on the computer for her and also placed an important file in front of her.
Once everything was set, Jiang Yuyan said, "You can leave."
Keith put the keycard of the office on the table and left while Jiang Yuyan started her work. She found some useless paper and crunched it to drop into the trash bin next to the table but her eyes caught something in that trash bin. She leaned down to take a closer look and thought, 'This can't belong to Lu Lijun. Who entered his office?'
After a while, Keith came to her office with one file and she asked, "Other than Lu Lijun, who else entered this office?"
"No one. It's mostly Mr Lijun and Mr. Noah," Keith answered.
"In Lu Lijun's absence?" she asked.
"No one can enter this office. The door has to be opened by this keycard and this card is always with Mr. Lu. Only now it was given to me so I can give it to you, President Lu."
Jiang Yuyan accepted his explanation and then allowed him to leave. She looked at the trash bin once again and didn't know what to think about it.
She returned to the hospital after office hours were over. Lu Lijun was sitting in the bed while having the laptop kept in front of him on the bed table. He was busy working.
"Why are you working instead of resting?" she asked.
"It's nothing much," he replied.
"After surgery, you should keep resting," Jiang Yuyan said.
Just then the doctor and the nurse entered the room who heard Jiang Yuyan. "This is what I am telling Mr. Lu since morning but he just doesn't listen. I hope he listens to you, at least Miss," said the nurse.
Before Jiang Yuyan could say a word, Lu Lijun closed his laptop and put it aside. The doctor examined him while Lu Lijun asked, "When will I be discharged?"
"Tomorrow, but you have to take care of your eating habits," said the doctor.
"I will," he agreed.
The next day he was discharged and went back home as Jiang Yuyan accompanied him. All the while there was no such conversation between them. It was as if they were close but yet so far.
Lu Lijun stayed in his room while Jiang Yuyan went out with Xiao Min as she had to meet a few people related to business. She returned in the evening where Lu Lijun had dinner in his room while others had together in the dining room.
When everyone went to their rooms, Jiang Yuyan could not sleep and thought to step out to get fresh air and walk for a while. The walls were made of glasses so that one could see what was going on outside. It had a sliding glass door that allowed the person to step out of the room on the lawn side.
Barefoot she walked on the grass and looked ahead toward the water bed which had the reflection of the moon and the starry sky. This residence was built on a beautiful piece of land and she could not deny it; everything here was just beautiful. She walked further ahead and stared at the mountains across the river bed but then she noticed one shadow which was not hers.
She looked up towards the gallery of the room upstairs and saw Lu Lijun was standing in the gallery while staring ahead blankly and what she saw next cleared her doubt about what she saw in the trash bin of his office.
'When did he learn to smoke?'
