Chapter 1116 - Need To Return Home
"You know the answer. Would you like me to repeat it? I won't be tired of confessing to you again and again," he replied and shook the knot of the jacket sleeves as he asked calmly, "Is it tight?"
Ignoring his question, Jiang Yuyan stepped back and frowned in disbelief. "I will take it as I didn't hear what you said."
"But I said it already….."
"Not a word more," she warned coldly, interrupting him. "Next time when we meet, talk to me only if you take this nonsense out of your mind, or there is no need to even show up in front of me."
"Do you really hate it so much that you would prefer me not to show up in front of you?" He asked, not knowing what to feel about her always so cold reaction towards him.
"It's just nonsense. Get rid of it," she again replied coldly.
He chuckled. "Nonsense?" He was clearly hurt to see how his genuine feelings for her were nothing but nonsense to her. "Not showing in front of you is only possible if I go away because I can never forget how much I love you."
It angered her, and she exclaimed, "Lu Lijun…."
"I'm not gonna stop loving you," Lu Lijun interrupted her and suggested calmly, "What you can do is to pray for me to disappear from your sight forever. See if your wish comes true."
Again Lu Lijun said that he should not and didn't know how it affected Jiang Yuyan.
Not saying a word to him, she turned around to leave, but Lu Lijun held her hand.
She glared at him; her teary eyes showed how hurt and angry she was at him.
"Let me go," she shouted angrily this time.
"Don't run on the road. Go carefully," he instructed, still calm and composed.
Ignoring his worry and his caring intentions, she pulled her hand out of his hold, which he allowed her to.
"I am not blind," she said angrily and hurried to leave. She didn't wish to stay with him even for a moment.
Lu Lijun let her go and continued looking at her till she crossed the road and entered the building boundary.
He couldn't help but think, 'Is my love that unacceptable for her?' He sighed, and the next moment the sadness in his eyes and on his face changed into determination. 'But I can't give up. What's mine is always mine.'
--------
Jiang Yuyan entered the elevator of the building as the sudden tears didn't stop rolling down her eyes. Whenever they argued, the only thing he said was about disappearing and left nothing for her to talk further.
'How can I wish for him to disappear when he is all I have after Lu Qiang left. Why can't he just behave and understand what's wrong he is doing?' she thought, wiping her tears. She reached the d.e.s.i.r.ed floor, trying to wipe all the traces of her tears, or she was sure her detective brother would know it and then would ask what happened.
Inhaling deeply, Jiang Yuyan entered the password and opened the door. When she thought her brother would wait for her in the living room to ask her what she talked about with Lu Lijun, he was not there. She looked around and understood he must have gone to his room while her parents were already asleep as it was late.
Not making any noise, she went upstairs and just as she was about to open the door of her room, she heard her brother.
"Nice style! That kid sure has some fashion sense for women."
Jiang Yuyan stopped and turned to look at her brother, who stood at his room's door as his back rested on it, and he looked at her.
Seeing his puzzled sister, Jiang Yang looked at the white jacket tied around Jiang Yuyan's waist and hung down, covering her legs till her knees.
"I'm talking about that white jacket," Jiang Yang added.
She looked down towards the jacket and realized she forgot about it and she didn't have an answer for her brother to tell him why she had it.
"That...He…."
"Bystanders must have stared at my sister's s.e.xy legs," Jiang Yang concluded as the light teasing smile painted on his lips.
Jiang Yang gave him a narrow-eyed look. "Good night!"
SLAM!
She entered her room, not willing to give her brother a chance to talk more.
The door closed, making a bit loud noise, and Jiang Yang mumbled. "Good to see her like this after so long," and returned to his room.
---------
Jiang Yuyan could only sulk over everything as she had no way out of it. Turning on the lights, she removed the jacket and threw it on the couch as she restlessly roamed in her room here and there.
"I need to stop him. What will happen if he says the same in front of others? How will I explain it to everyone? His stubbornness will only disturb the peace in the family." Jiang Yuyan felt like pulling her hair out, and she couldn't stop blaming herself for it.
She continued talking to herself. "It's all my fault. He didn't forget that marriage. He was fine all these years, then why suddenly?" she felt like kicking something, and the next moment a thought struck her mind. "That paper...That paper scroll from the temple….Where is it?"
Jiang Yuyan tried to remember where she kept that paper scroll in the past. She forgot about it as she didn't feel it was important and never tried to search for it.
"Lu Lijun's old room," she exclaimed.
During that time, she was in that room, and she kept everything in the wardrobe there. Once Lu Lijun left for England, she went to that room only once, and later she was busy handling other things. Not even in her dream, she thought this would happen and she would have to look for that paper ever.
"I need to go back home," she mumbled to herself.
