Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Chapter 1322 Just Don’t Leave

Chapter 1322 Just Don't Leave

Seeing him kneeled in front of her, Shocked Jiang Yuyan. "Lu Lijun…"

"I am sorry, Yuyan," he said with his head lowered in front of her, "I am sorry for everything."

It took her by surprise and didn't know why he was like this suddenly. She remembered something that she asked her parents to get things further with the Choi family. 'Is it because of it? Is it his way of stopping me now?...."

She spoke coldly, "If you think, I will change my mind and back off on my decision with Alex, then that won't happen."

"I take back everything that I had said to you till now," before she could say, even more, he spoke again, "I was wrong to treat you like that and force myself on you. I…." he closed his eyes as the next thing was going to be hurtful for him to say, "I…will..never call you as my wife…I will never force you to accept me…I will be only your late husband's brother and nothing else…"

This was something that Jiang Yuyan never expected him to say. The guy who was adamant about making her his wife was finally ready to give up. 'Why? What made him change his mind? Did something happen?' Even his backing down was worrisome for her.

"I will do whatever you ask me to. You want me to take my brother's place in company, I will do that too. I will do everything that my brother had expected from me. I will fulfil all of his dreams about me. I will never go against your wish…"

This change in him scared her now as if something serious had happened and he was saying all this. "L-Lu Lijun…."

He finally looked at her. "Please don't leave. Don't leave because of me."

His teary eyes startled her and she could not say a word. She had seen him hurt before but this time it was different. He looked like he had lost everything and wished for nothing. She gulped not knowing what to say as it hurt to see him like this and felt her own chest tightening up.

"I will forget everything that I had in my mind all along and will only treat you as my elder brother's wife. I will never say or do anything that will hurt you. We will leave like in the past, I promise!" he said again.

Feeling worried for him, she asked, "What happened, Lu Lijun. Did something….."

"I realized how selfish I was and how much pain I have caused. My apology won't be enough but still, I am sorry. Just don't leave…please….Don't marry him because I know you don't want it and doing it just because of me. I don't want you to make any wrong decision because of me or I will never forgive myself.." his eyes were full of pleading and Jiang Yuyan didn't know what to say.

"Just stay and see me fulfilling all of my elder brother's dreams. He is not here but you are and I want you to stay and see. If you leave, I won't be able to do it."

Finally, tears rolled down his eyes that he was trying to hold back and Jiang Yuyan felt frozen. He looked hurt and she wanted to console him but…she just could not.

"Stand up first," she instructed softly.

Lu Lijun did so as he had promised to listen to whatever she would say. He knew he would break in front of her and he didn't wish to. He wanted to leave but heard her.

"Lu Lijun, what happened?" her voice was filled with hurry. Though she should be happy that he was ready to give up, she was worried as well to think what caused him to decide it so suddenly. In the morning when he came he was still adamant but….

Not answering her, Lu Lijun walked towards her and hugged her as he mumbled in his choked voice, "Just one last time…"

Jiang Yuyan could not push him away and let him hug her and asked, "Tell me…"

"Just don't leave," was what he said and moved back. "Tomorrow I'll inform our family. Come back home," he said and turned around immediately as he wished to leave before she could stop him.

Yuyan could only look at his retreating back who left in a hurry. It was the same place where in the past the elder brother confessed his feelings to her and after so many years in the same place, the younger brother decided to give up on her. This place, this balcony had witnessed these moments which always remind Jiang Yuyan about them.

The butler and Xiao Min, who were worried now what will happen, saw Lu Lijun coming downstairs. Before the two could even react to him, he straightway walked outside the living room.

"I'll check on the boss," Xiao Min said and went upstairs. He saw Jiang Yuyan still standing in the Balcony as she looked dazed.

"Boss, are you fine?" he asked as he thought Lu Lijun must have fought with her again.

She looked at him but said nothing as she walked past him to go downstairs to her room.

-------

Lu Lijun went to his car and drove out in a hurry. After driving away from there at speed, he stopped at a quiet place at the roadside after a few kilometres. The tears he was holding back till now finally rushed out like a flood. He had given up on the only important thing in his life and without her, he felt empty and lost. He didn't imagine this day would come where instead of confessing his feelings to her a number of times, he will finally give up on her for her own sake.

He stayed there for some time and left soon. He knew San Zemin's men kept going on this way and if they found him, they would report it to Jiang Yuyan.

Lu Lijun went to Lu Mansion this time. The next day he had to tell his family about his decision and he would end the misery for Jiang Yuyan so she would return home, her own people, her family.
