Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Chapter 986 - It Felt Different...

Chapter 986: It Felt Different...

Lu Lijun was again surprised seeing Lu Feng and Jiang Yang there and forgot why he was there.

All went inside, and Lu Feng caught up with his brother, "Did you visit him?" Lu Feng asked though he knew it.

Lu Lijun nodded.

"Are you fine?" Lu Feng asked, and Lu Lijun just nodded.

Jiang Yang asked, "Yuyan must be there too. Is she back?"

Lu Lijun nodded again, not giving more details about his short trip with Yuyan.

"How is she?" Jiang Yang asked as he was worried about his sister. He knew it was the day when she must have cried a lot while missing Lu Qiang.

"She is fine," Lu Lijun replied.

"Shouldn't you be asking how he is?" An Tian interrupted Jiang Yang.

"Even if I ask, he wouldn't say he is not fine," Jiang Yang countered.

Others didn't reply, silently agreeing to what Jiang Yang said. Lu Lijun was unusually silent, nodding to everything that others asked as if he didn't wish to talk more.

As they reached the sofa, An Tian instructed Lu Lijun, "Have a seat. It's your birthday today, so you are exempted from doing any work."

Lu Lijun nodded again. It was not that he didn't want to help, but that day he just wanted to be idle, not doing and thinking about anything.

The elder brothers went to the kitchen, leaving the three friends alone.

As they reached the kitchen, they looked at the three, and one could see they were up to some serious talking.

"Let them be alone for some time," An Tian instructed.

Lu Feng nodded, "He needs his friends, I guess."

"Don't we need each other when we have problems?" An Tian asked.

Lu Feng agreed, and Jiang Yang looked at them, "What problem?"

The two looked at him, and Jiang Yang asked again, "Is there something going on with Lu Lijun?"

An Tian chuckled, "Today is not the day when he would feel fine."

Lu Feng avoided looking at him as he knew Jiang Yang would catch him, so he left it on An Tain. How could he say to Jiang Yang the real problem when he prayed for Jiang Yang not to catch Lu Lijun. It was a relief that till now, Jiang Yang didn't come across Lu Lijun at such times when it was easy to catch him.

Lu Feng was just worried about what and how Jiang Yang would react. His sister mattered the most for him, and he would not like anything to happen that would affect his sister ever.

"Are you fine?" Jake asked, and Lu Lijun nodded while leaning back on the sofa to rest.

"Were you with president Lu?" Noah asked and looked at Jake as the two seemed worried.

"Hmm," Lu Lijun replied as he added, "She returned with me."

When his elder brothers asked, Lu Lijun avoided talking much, but when his friends asked, he talked more than what they asked.

"You suddenly called," Noah asked.

"I didn't want to be alone," Lu Lijun replied.

"Did something happen that upsets you?" Jake asked, observing the sullen mood of Lu Lijun.

It reminded him of Jiang Yuyan going to see Wen Zac, and expressions on his face changed, "Nothing."

The other two looked at each other as there was always so much behind whenever Lu Lijun said nothing.

Noah pinched the space between his eyebrows in annoyance, "So why did you sound so anxious on call when there was really nothing? Did you come here just as you wish?"

Lu Lijun looked at Noah as his reaction shocked him a bit and then looked at Jake, who gave him the same look as Noah.

"Have you two made up?" Lu Lijun asked.

"Do we need to tell you anything about us when you tell us nothing about yourself?" Jake countered, and Noah agreed to it.

Lu Lijun sighed as he knew his friends wouldn't listen and then realised he was there because he needed to talk.

Lu Lijun sat straight and looked towards the floor as he said in a low voice, "She wished me this year, and it felt different."

The voice was low, but the two friends could hear it and understand what he meant.

"President Lu?" Noah asked.

"Hmm," Lu Lijun nodded, "I don't know what's happening. I don't like it when I feel like this. I feel weak."

Jake put a hand on Lu Lijun's shoulder to console him as he knew what it was, and till now, Noah guessed it too, but how could they say it.

They were not so sure about it as there might be the possibility that he felt like this because he faced her after so many years. Until now, it was as if there was no existence of Jiang Yuyan in Lu Lijun's life as he never mentioned her among all of his family members.

"Then don't think about it much. Just take it normally," Noah suggested.

"You are here after so long, so you are yet to get used to the things," Jake added.

The two knew they were not honest with their friend, but both thought this was the right thing to do for now instead of making things difficult.

They were worried about what would happen the day when Lu Lijun would realize the reason behind what he was going through at the moment.

When these three young men were talking, the other three present in the kitchen looked at them.

"What are they talking about so seriously?" Jiang Yang asked.

"Something they might not want to tell us," Lu Feng replied.

"I'm sure they know what's right to do," An Tian commented as he looked at Jake and Noah. He was sure these two wouldn't do anything that would disturb Lu Lijun even more.

An Tian came to the living room, "Lijun, get fresh. We would be having dinner soon."

Lu Lijun stood up, and Noah instructed, "Follow me."

Noah took him to his room, gave him clothes, and returned as he heard An Tian talking to Jake.

"Your highness, would you like to help us or….."

Jake stood up and went to the kitchen to help the other three while Noah smiled the way An Tian addressed Jake. It was fun to call him like that. Noah couldn't deny that it suits him as he looked royal, the prince Jacob.
