Chapter 693 Weird Habits...
Jiang Yuyan stayed silent for a while, not knowing how to start the conversation. If Lu Lijun was an adult, she would have talked clearly but dealing with a kid and that to someone like Lu Lijun made it difficult for her. He was not someone she would deal with by making up stories.
Breathing deeply, Jiang Yuyan finally spoke, "Seems like you enjoy sitting here a lot."
"Hmm!" Nodding Lu Lijun looked at her as he said, "You can say what you are here for."
This startled Jiang Yuyan. 'There is no way I can hide things from this little guy,' she thought and Lu Lijun continued looking at her.
'How can this kid always catch me off guard? Am I that obvious,' she thought again as she continued looking back in his eyes as if she was trying to understand what was going on in his mind.
"Those big eyes of yours talk too loudly," Lu Lijun commented as he averted his sight from her and looked at where he was staring at before, the water in the pond that reflected the starry sky in it.
Jiang Yuyan followed his sight and looked at it too as she spoke about what she was there for, "The thing you said to aunt Su Hui at the dining table that….."
"Do you not like it if I care for you?" Lu Lijun asked, interrupting her, his sight still fixed at the pond.
"No, not that. It's fine if you care for me. I was talking about what you said later…."
Lu Lijun gave out a deep sigh and looked at her, "I hope, after what I said, aunt Su Hui won't trouble you."
"So, did you say it just to stop aunt Su Hui?" Jiang Yuyan asked and not answering her, Lu Lijun stood up, "I need to study. Let's go back."
Jiang Yuyan continued looking at him to know what he meant but as he didn't answer clearly, she thought to take it as he was trying to shut aunt Su Hui. Asking him again would be like reminding him about the marriage they had gone through and it won't be good when she wanted Lu Lijun to forget it.
"Do you wish to sit here?" Li Lijun asked that made her snapped out of her thoughts and Jiang Yuyan shook her head.
"Then let's go." Saying, Lu Lijun offered her his hand to get up.
Jiang Yuyan looked at his hand, her mind was still in a confused state but when she saw Lu Lijun with neutral expressions as if everything was fine and there was nothing to think about, Jiang Yuyan accepted his hand and stood up.
Even though Lu Lijun understood what Jiang Yuyan wanted to say, there was no change in him as if he did nothing wrong or anything inappropriate. Lu Lijun always talked sarcastically with Su Hui so Jiang Yuyan thought this time too he did it as his habit and there was no meaning to it. For her he was still a kid who didn't understand the things, so she thought to ignore it.
When they return to the room, Jiang Yuyan waited for Lu Lijun to finish his study work so she could put him to sleep and leave the Lu Mansion to take care of the things she planned.
Lu Lijun finished it faster and seeing him Jiang Yuyan instructed, "It's late now. You should sleep."
"Are you going out again tonight?" Lu Lijun asked.
There was no way Jiang Yuyan could lie, "Hmm, I have something important to do."
"I will go to bed on my own. You can go," Lu Lijun instructed.
"Will you be fine on your own or should I…."
"You just take care of yourself. If you failed to do so, I won't let you step out next time," Lu Lijun warned as he went to the bed.
Jiang Yuyan gave him a narrowed eyes look as she thought, 'This kid'.
Ignoring her, Lu Lijun closed his eyes as he instructed, "Turn off the lights."
Turning off the lights, Jiang Yuyan left. The car was ready for her as usual and the butler Xu Dui was present too who greeted her and opened the car's door for her.
On the way, Jiang Yuyan realized, Lu Lijun started talking more, but most of his words were sarcastic. He didn't talk funny or didn't even smile.
'It was better when he was talking less,' thought Jiang Yuyan but suddenly shook her head, 'What am I thinking? I tried my best to make him talk and how can I think like this?'
Jiang Yuyan went to the secret mansion where San Zemin, Xiao Min, and the butler were ready to go with her.
Just as they were about to step out, Jiang Yuyan asked, "Ye Bai, is our kitchen actually in working condition, or is it just for the namesake?"
"It's in a working condition as I personally cook there," Ye Bai, the butler answered.
"I just wondered why no one showed me the kitchen when I had visited all the places in the mansion," Jiang Yuyan commented.
"My apology boss. As that's my area, so I would have introduced it to you," said the butler.
"It's not yet late to do so," Jiang Yuyan countered.
Understanding the meaning, the butler led her way to the kitchen.
San Zemin and others looked surprised at how their boss could ask for the tour of the kitchen when they were going on an important mission but no one said anything and waited for their boss to return after visiting the kitchen.
They found their boss weird sometimes as she had a habit of doing something out of the blue and they could never guess why she did that.
After almost ten minutes, Jiang Yuyan and the butler returned from the kitchen and they all went out of the mansion to sit in the cars and left. Other than Jiang Yuyan, Xiao Min, the butler, San Zemin, and Jiang Yuyan's driver, they took two more men with them who were the best ones among all by strength-wise.
