Chapter 1083 - Are You Done?
Lu Lijun came out of Jiang Yuyan's room. He had a light smile on his face, which disappeared when he came across An Tian and Jake in the corridor.
An Tian looked at him questioningly as he was sure the room that Lu Lijun stepped out of, Liwei was not there but someone else.
"Second room on the right," Lu Lijun spoke awkwardly.
"Corridor's right, not your right," An Tian countered and added. "When you face the corridor, your right is the corridor's left."
Lu Lijun looked at the room exactly opposite the room where Jiang Yuyan was, and An Tian spoke, "That's the one."
Nodding lightly, as if nothing happened, Lu Lijun knocked on the door of the other room. The assistant opened the door and let him in.
"What's with him?" Jake asked, noticing Lu Lijun acting strangely or more like he tried to hide something.
"Someone knocked your friend out," An Tian spoke.
"Who?"
"Only one who holds the power to do so," An Tain replied.
Jake looked towards the room from where Lu Lijun came out and then looked at his brother, "Is she there?"
"Can't you guess it from how your friend looked?"
Jake smiled and nodded, "Don't know what to do with him."
"For now, let's go to my difficult to please client, the cold lady," said An Tian.
"You can go ahead. I'll wait," Jake countered as he didn't feel it right to go there.
"Don't forget you are here to help me," An Tian spoke, looking at the one box in Jake's hand which he asked Jake to carry and follow him.
Jiang Yuyan saw An Tian through the mirror and frowned.
An Tian, who stood at the door, got the obvious reaction from her and smiled. "Seems like my skills are yet so bad to please President Lu."
"Don't worry, I'm used to wearing every mess you create for the past ten years," Jiang Yuyan countered.
"Apology for my lack of skills," An Tian bowed lightly.
He observed the cold lady in front of him as the assistant continued to make her move to check various things.
She wore a silver-grey color, mermaid fit floor-length evening gown. The delicate floral silver-grey lace material looked one with her soft, radiant skin; the broad and low neckline allowed the beautiful view of her thin shoulders and collarbones. The lace sleeves ended up till her elbow. Everything together, not to forget her pretty and enchanting face, made her look mesmerizing.
"No wonder the poor guy was whipped," An Tian mumbled.
Jake, who finally decided to accompany his brother, heard it and nodded in agreement. "Not too long till he gives in."
An Tian looked at his brother and smiled as the two thought the same thing.
"He is here to help his elder brother," An Tian answered her unspoken question and took the box from Jake.
This is the jewelry for President Lu," he informed and went towards the dresser to keep it there.
"I'm fine with this," She said, looking at what she already wore on her neck, the gift from Lu Qiang.
"The person who instructed me to design this dress has selected this too," An Tian informed.
Jiang Yuyan understood it was her mother-in-law. Now she could say nothing but to accept it.
"Don't worry. I have a way to add to it what President Lu is already wearing."
Trusting him, Jiang Yuyan said nothing.
An Tian knew she would never let go of that gift from Lu Qiang.

Lu Lijun stood there blankly as he was still busy thinking about Jiang Yuyan and his interaction, which still made his heart unstable.
"What do you think, Mr. Lu?" one of the two assistants asked.
It pulled Lu Lijun out of the daze, and he replied without thinking much, "It's good."
There was no excitement in him looking at Liwei how one man should be when he sees his bride. Instead, he replied casually as if it was a normal thing for him to see every time.
"You are too cold even to praise me nicely," Said Liwei. But she was not upset as she knew he would be like this.
"I mean, it's pretty. You look pretty," Lu Lijun tried to make up for what he missed.
"I know, I'm pretty, but it won't hurt to hear it from the man who would be by my side always," she said.
"I'm sorry."
Seeing him apologetic, Liwei laughed a little, "I was kidding."
"Is that president Lu?" she asked.
"Hmm," An Tian nodded, and Liwei turned excited as she looked at Lu Lijun, "Can I see her?"
"Why are you asking me?" Lu Lijun replied coldly.
"Yeah, he is right. You don't need to get his permission to see President Lu," An Tian added, and Lu Lijun unknowingly glared at An Tian.
Liwei recognized Jake and greeted him too. She was already familiar with Jake and Noah.
"Give me a minute, I'' go greet President Lu," said Liwei and strode to go out, while Lu Lijun too looked at Jiang Yuyan, who was busy with An Tian's assistant.
How much he looked at her, it was never enough.
Jake looked at Lu Lijun and commented, "Are you done?"
Lu Lijun got back to his senses and looked at Jake.
Lu Lijun felt like a thief got caught.
"Liwei is one pretty and elegant lady. Anyone would look at her," An Tian added.
"He can keep it for his engagement day," Jake countered.
Their talk puzzled Lu Lijun. He thought they talked about Jiang Yuyan, but it was about Liwei.
Seeing him startled, An Tian and Jake smiled, looking at each other as the two thought. "Poor guy."
