There was no way this little guy could order Jiang Yuyan around and control what she should do and what not. When she thought to say this to him directly, the way he stared at her, he looked so serious and there was something in his sight that shut Jiang Yuyan and she agreed.
“Okay, I will wait inside the car.”
Now Jiang Yuyan understood that whenever Lu Lijun argued with others, why they kept quiet always. He was a kid, but the way he spoke and his sight was really something that would make others not talk more. She was the one whom most of the people were scared of nowadays, but she had let her guards down in front of a kid.
He was a colder than his elder brother and if he was like this when he was still young, what would happen when he would grow up, thought Jiang Yuyan.
On the way to the Lu Mansion, Lu Lijun stayed quiet while staring outside of the window but Jiang Yuyan thought to talk as she didn’t want him to be so quiet and she wished him to be like before even if that meant he would tease her that annoyed her.
“How was your day in school?” Jiang Yuyan asked.
Not saying a word, Lu Lijun pulled out the sheets from his bags and handed it over to Jiang Yuyan.
Jiang Yuyan understood what it must be and looked into it. She was not surprised seeing him getting full marks in his tests. Lu Qiang had already told her he was a gifted child, so it was given. For him, studying and getting good grades was not a big deal, but this realization made Jiang Yuyan think about something else.
Lu Lijun was smarter than the kids of his age and understood the things. It was her mistake to treat him like a kid and pamper him. He was the one who always acted as an adult in front of her so she thought the reason behind his silence was she treated him as a kid thinking he doesn’t understand the things and being ready to do everything for him. She never gave him a chance to decide anything on his own for himself.
When they reached home, Jiang Yuyan didn’t instruct him about anything and let him do the things on his own. She didn’t ask him to get fresh and get ready or anything what she always did.
At the dinner table Jiang Yuyan was eating slowly as she was not feeling like eating anything. She felt Lu Lijun’s gaze on her and immediately started eating faster.
“Take it slow and finish it all,” Lu Lijun ordered.
Jiang Yuyan said nothing as she knew if she refused, he would make it difficult for her to step outside of the home and make her rest when it was the time she needed to be out.
“Nice to see you are getting pampered again, Yuyan.” Su Hui commented, carrying a teasing smile that no one liked.
“Is it wrong to get pampered, Aunt Su Hui?” Lu Lijun asked.
“When did I say it? Instead, I think she is fortunate to get care from you, Lu Lijun,” Su Hui replied not giving much thought about it but she didn’t expect to hear something surprising in return.
“She is my wife, so it’s given,” Lu Lijun replied, which made everyone’s heart skip a beat and they all stopped eating.
No one knew what to say while Lu Lijun continued eating without minding others.
Jiang Yuyan stared at him for a long time and then looked at her mother-in-law and elders who were equally shocked.
Su hui was shocked too, but she preferred to enjoy Jiang Yuyan’s situation more. Su Hui understood this little guy would make it difficult for Jiang Yuyan.
Elder Lu signaled them to eat and not talk about it at this moment.
After dinner, everyone went to the garden. Jiang Yuyan asked Lu Lian and Lu Bao to take Lu Lijun with them, and she stayed with the elders and her mother-in-law.
No one knows how to start the conversation as it was something they didn’t know how to deal with.
“What do you think about it, father?” Ning Jiahui asked.
“It’s not his fault. He is doing what he had gone through, what he had seen and heard and what is the truth for him,” elder Lu replied.
“What do you mean, honey?” Grandma asked.
“It’s clear that he thinks of Yuyan as his wife as he knew they got married. We can’t force him to not talk like this or think like this even he doesn’t understand what he said.”
“I told him it was the game that was over once we came back from the temple and he even agreed to it,” Jiang Yuyan informed.
“I knew it would happen. Though he must not understand the meaning of being a husband and wife, he will always keep it in his mind that Yuyan is his wife,” Ning Jiahui added as worry painted her face.
Feeling guilty, Jiang Yuyan apologised, “I am sorry, mother. I didn’t know it would turn out like this.”
“You need not apologize as you are already doing so much for this family,” said elder Lu and other two ladies nodded.
“We have to think how we can make him forget about it,” Ning Jiahui suggested.
“I will try to talk to him. I am sure he will understand and won’t say it again,” Jiang Yuyan offered.
Others agreed as Ning Jiahui spoke. “As he only listens to only you, then it would be better if you talk to him.”
Lu Lijun was in the gazebo when Jiang Yuyan went to talk to him. Lu Lian and Lu Bao left them alone as they knew Jiang Yuyan was there to talk to him.
Lu Lijun was sitting silently on the semicircular bench inside the gazebo and Jiang Yuyan sat on another semicircular bench opposite to him as she faced him.
