Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband-Novel

Chapter 1109 - Overconfidence!

Sitting in the office for a while staring at the dark starry sky and the building ahead brightened, but with numerous lights, Lu Lijun searched for something that was not there.

He stood up and left the office as his mind couldn’t be at peace until he saw that person.

His face cold and determined with something, Lu Lijun left Lu Corporation in his car and sped up in the opposite direction of the Lu Mansion.

After driving for a long time, he reached the place where he wished to. Parking the car in front of the building on the other side of the road, he stepped out and looked at that building’s concerned floor.

The lights were off, and no one was in the gallery even. He could only stare at it to get her glimpse, hoping she would come out, but nothing happened.

Leaning at the car’s door, he spent a while there, and just then, his cellphone rang.

He pulled out the cellphone and saw Noah’s number flashing on the screen. Lu Lijun disconnected the call and continued what he was doing.

Again the cell phone rang, and this time it was Jake. Lu Lijun frowned. ’These two!’

Knowing his friends wouldn’t stop, Lu Lijun received the call and put it at his ear, not saying a single word.

"Did you reach home?" Jake asked.

"Not yet," Lu Lijun replied.

Just then, another voice came out of the phone. "Don’t tell me you are standing at some random place and staring at someone else’s home. You can get arrested for being a stalker." That was Noah.

Lu Lijun hung up the call frowning at why his two friends always knew what he would do.

Again the cell phone beeped, and it was a message from Jake.

Jake: Go home and rest!

Lu Lijun sat in the car and left. When he returned home and was ready to get into bed, he couldn’t sleep. Just like the previous night, he went to Jiang Yuyan’s room and slept there. This chapter is updated by N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net - novelenglish.net . bin

The following morning, Lu Lijun didn’t wake up early as he slept late and was tired of the work he did the previous day.

There was a knock on the door, but Lu Lijun didn’t react as he was too sleepy. The door opened, and Lu Lijun sensed someone stepped inside the room. With his sleepy eyes, he looked at the person, and that was the butler.

"The breakfast is ready. Everyone is waiting for the fourth young master," The butler informed.

Lu Lijun woke up and then realized he was in Jiang Yuyan’s room. The butler left, and Lu Lijun stared at the closed door. The butler didn’t look surprised seeing him in Jiang Yuyan’s room and maintained his usual neutral expressions.

Lu Lijun didn’t care and went to his room to get ready. When he came downstairs, the family still waited for him. They knew he was working hard and didn’t get any time to relax. Moreover, he had to face what troubles Mr. Wen created for him. They knew it was the result of his own mistakes, but they wished to stand by his side and support him.

Lu Lijun went to the dining table where everyone wished him morning and started their usual chat session. They wanted to make him feel at ease.

Lu Lijun looked at the chair on his right side, which was empty. He couldn’t stop missing her even if all the people in this world surrounded him.

Ning Jiahui added food to his dish as she offered him a smile, "Eat more."

Lu Lijun was silent and accepted what his mother did.

"Working is fine, but don’t overwork. You know grandpa doesn’t give importance to the business your father built." Elder Lu said.

"I am fine, grandpa," Lu Lijun assured.

He looked tired, and it was evident on his face. But no one knew it was more of sadness that surrounded his heart by not seeing one person around him.

"How is Yuyan?" Elder Lu asked.

"She is fine now, and Jiang Yang said she would be there for some more time," Lu Jinhai informed.

Lu Lijun paused. ’How long that is?" he thought.

"Hmm, it’s good this way. If she returns, she will involve herself in your business again," said elder Lu as he glared at his son.

Lu Jinhai, too agreed with it. "I have instructed not to tell her anything related to Lu Corporation and not to call her."

"Jiang Peizhi and Mo Ruolan coming to China for a month," Ning Jiahui informed.

"It would be better if she will get some time to spend with her parents," Grandma added.

Elder Lu agreed. "Yuyan was always busy, so they never had this opportunity."

Lu Lijun chewed on the bite silently as he heard it. His mind started to calculate. ’A month. So she won’t return for a month?" he concluded, feeling unhappy about it.

He wished to give her time alone for a month. ’Not gonna happen,’ he thought.

Finishing the breakfast early, Lu Lijun went to the office, his mind focussed on how he could stay away from her for so long and without seeing her even once.

Noah followed Lu Lijun to his office. Noah observed his face. "Seems like you slept late."

Lu Lijun looked at Noah, who was always with a radiant face, and spoke, "And it seems like you’re having the best nights of your life with someone around you."

Noah understood what he meant but turned it away, "Yeah, Nicole is back."

Lu Lijun glared at him. "Do you want me to say it even clearer?"

Just then, Xiao Min knocked on the door and entered the office with a few files, and the other two turned silent.

"We have three projects. Out of these three, this one is what the fourth young master wants to go after. The impossible one."

Lu Lijun accepted it. Xiao Min passed the one out of the remaining two to Noah and kept one for himself.

"Three at a time, gonna be tough," Noah commented.

These two are at a week’s difference each, and the toughest one gives us a one-month time.

"One month? Finding and convincing strong western partners would be tough if Mr. Mountabtten rejects us," Noah added.

"We can try so that he would accept it. We don’t have any other option," said Lu Lijun.

"For that, we need to offer him something valuable," Xiao Min said.

Lu Lijun nodded. "Did you collect the information about all the previous projects in detail?"

Xiao Min nodded, "The result of the selection always surprised everyone. It’s hard to guess what criteria they exactly look for."

"That’s why we need all the information so we can find it out," Lu Lijun spoke.

Seeing Lu Lijun jumping on the third one straightway, which still had a month, Xiao Min spoke. "Fourth young master should not ignore these two. Lu Corporation always got it, and this time too, we need to maintain it, or it would be another big loss."

"Don’t worry about them," said Lu Lijun, and Xiao Min had nothing to say.

Xiao Min frowned, ’Overconfidence! It will ruin my boss’s hard work.’
