Noah went to Lu Lijun’s office, where he was busy working. President Lu asked me to remind you about the dinner at the Wens tonight.
Lu Lijun nodded, still being busy.
“Are you going?” Noah asked.
“Hmm,” Lu Lijun nodded again casually as if it was not a big deal for him.
It surprised Noah, and he asked, “Are you sure?”
“The woman who handled my family and all the responsibilities till now, I can at least be a part of her happiness,” Lu Lijun commented.
Noah could only look at his friend who acted all cool, and work seemed important to him more than what he had to face soon.
——-
After the office work, everyone returned home early to go to the Wen’s home. The entire family was ready as instructed by Lu Jinhai.
Lu Lijun came out of his room after changing into casual clothes- a white T-shirt, a grey casual jacket which sleeves pulled up to the elbows, and black jeans.
Just then, Jiang Yuyan stepped out of the room wearing a white casual and simple knee-length floral lace ruffle dress. Her hair was tied in a ponytail, and she wore flat booties.
This time this cold woman surprisingly looked cute to him, and he didn’t wish to move his sight from her.
Seeing how he rooted at his place, Jiang Yuysn stopped in front of him and looked at him questioningly to know what happened.
Her starry golden brown eyes stared into his dark ones as he felt like his heart would jump out of his chest.
“Do you want to say something?” she asked, seeing him still silent.
Her words brought her back to his senses, and he didn’t know how to explain to her as he struggled for the words.
“That…I…..”
She waited for him to talk. He was not in a great mood the day before, so she thought he must talk about it.
“Young mistress, everyone is waiting,” the servant came to inform.
“Let’s leave,” she said, and he nodded lightly, feeling relieved as he had no words to explain to her.
They reached Wen’s residence, where the entire family prepared to welcome them. All the cars entered the huge mansion gate and stopped in front of the mansion where Mr. Wen, his wife, and son were already present to welcome them.
Lu Jinhai stepped out of the car, and his friend greeted him with a warm hug. “After so long, we are together as a family.”
Lu Jinhai nodded to it. Mr. Wen went to elder Lu, who stepped out of the car. “How are you, Wen Hao?” Elder Lu asked.
“I’m fine. Good to see you are here,” Mr. Wen smiled.
Wen Zac went towards grandma Zhao Shuang and helped her get out of the car by holding her hand.
“Thank you, son?” she said and smiled at him, to which he smiled back.
Others greeted Jiang Yuyan and Lu Lijun. Wen Zac went to Lu Lijun and shook hands with him as he did the same with Jiang Yuyan.
Leaving the two, Lu Lijun went towards his sisters, Lu Lian and Lu Bao, while Wen Zac talked to Jiang Yuyan.
Though he was with his sister, he couldn’t divert his mind from Jiang Yuyan.
Just as Wens greeted everyone, a girl wearing a lavender color, the casual short dress came out of the mansion. Her hair long up to the elbow left open and secured at one side with the hairpin. She went to her father, who was with the elders.
She bowed to them; her cute smile made her look even prettier, and she looked humble.
“If I’m not wrong, this pretty lady is Liwei?” elder Lu commented, looking at the adorable girl.
“Yes, grandpa,” she said. She remembered all the family members except for Lu Lijun as he was not there for long and he was changed a lot.
She greeted everyone, and all of them went inside the mansion. In the living room, they sat on the sofa, where they chatted about various things.
Jiang Yuyan was still out with Wen Zac as they were busy talking about something. Lu Lijun wondered what was so important. Everyone was there, so she should have joined them instead of talking to him for long.
Just as he was busy thinking about it, Mr. Wen spoke, “Lu Lijun, when last time you came here was long back. This place has changed a lot now.”
He nodded, agreeing to it and his mother, Ning Jiahui, who sat beside Mr. Wen’s wife, said, “It turned even prettier.”
Mr. Wen was fond of a lavish lifestyle, and he had turned his home according to modern style.
“Those days when these kids used to play here,” Lu Jiahai spoke, remembering the old days.
Lu Lijun looked around, and he remembered when he was there with his family in the past. He remembered playing with his friends which were his father’s friends’ kids.
Mr. Wen noticed it and said, “You can look around if you want to.”
Just then, Jiang Yuyan and Wen Zac returned. Seeing the two together, Lu Lijun could only feel bitter though he tried his best to ignore it.
Just as they sat, Wen Zac informed, “President Lu wished to see around.”
‘So she was with him to look around this place.’ he sighed, ‘Seems like she has decided.’
“Liwei, show Lu Lijun our home,” Mr. Wen said.
It startled Liwei, who was talking to Lu Lian and Lu Bao.
She looked at the cold guy and then looked at her father, willing to say no, but before that, Lu Lijun stood up, “I would like to.”
Unwillingly Liwei stood up to be a good host and looked at Lu Lijun, “This way.”
The two left, and Mr. Wen spoke, “Seems like kids will get along well.”
Lu Jinhai nidded agreeing to it.
Lu Lijun followed Liwei, and the two went out of the living room and entered the way towards the garden. The two didn’t talk a single word, and the two didn’t even know why they had to do it.
Finally, Liwei broke the silence, “Why did you say yes when you didn’t mean it?”
