Chapter 980 - Happy Birthday...

Jiang Yuyan returned and sat in the chair. She noticed Lu Lijun's flushed face.

"Are you not feeling well?" she asked.

Lu Lijun cleared his throat, "I'm fine."

Just then, the food arrived that Jiang Yuyan ordered when Lu Lijun was away.

When the attendant started serving the food, Lu Lijun noticed she had ordered what he would like to eat.

It surprised him to see how she knew what he liked. As time passed by, the things he liked to eat changed over time. He moved his sight to her, who was busy instructing the attendant what dish to serve him and her.

"It's for him," she instructed the attendant.

Their sights met, and Jiang Yuyan asked, seeing him quiet, "If you don't want this, you can order something else."

Lu Lijun returned to his senses, "No, it's fine," and picked up the spoon to eat.

The two ate quietly, not talking much. The attendant came with a tab, and Jiang Yuyan was about to open her bag, but before Lu Lijun pulled out his wallet.

"I'm not a kid now," he said, and Jiang Yuyan put down her bag.

Both remembered the days in the past when Jiang Yuyan used to take Lu Lijun out and took care of everything for him. Though he had his own card given by his brother, she hardly let him use it.

Jiang Yuyan said nothing and accepted it. Even when he was a kid, he liked to act like an a.d.u.l.t, and now he was actually the one.

Just as they were about to leave, Jiang Yuyan's cell phone rang. As the mobile was on the table, Lu Lijun happened to see the name flashing on the screen, and the next moment the coldness surrounded him.

Jiang Yuyan received the call and stepped ahead to get out of the restaurant as she said hello.

Lu Lijun couldn't understand what they were talking about as what Jiang Yuyan did was to hear the person on the other side of the line and just hummed as a response.

Just as they sat inside the car, Jiang Yuyan checked the time and spoke, "I'll inform you as soon as I'm back in the city...see you then."

She hung up the call, and the cold man started the car. He didn't know what to think about it, but he was sure he didn't like it.

He wanted to ask what it was about, but as always, he didn't by consoling himself, saying it didn't matter to him. These small things were slowly acc.u.mulating inside him and unknown to him, which might end up building a volcano inside him.

Once they crossed half of the distance, Lu Lijun realized the person on the next seat was silent, and there was no movement. He looked at Jiang Yuyan, and she was sleeping soundly.

He understood she must be tired due to lack of sleep and working more.

Seeing her calm face, the anger and restlessness Lu Lijun felt before, disappeared but there was no such emotion in his eyes or expressions on his face that would let anyone know what was in his mind.

He continued to drive while peeking at her in between to make sure she was fine and comfortable. He made sure to drive smoothly so it won't disturb her sleep.


Jiang Yuyan continued to sleep almost for an hour. When she woke up, she looked around, "Where are we?"

"One more hour to reach," Lu Lijun replied.

Nodding, she sat properly. Lu Lijun picked up the water bottle from the side bottle holder and gave it to her.

"Thank you," she replied, and Lu Lijun stopped the car on the roadside.

She looked at him, questioningly to know why he stopped.

He sensed her gaze at him and instructed without even looking at her.

"Have water."

She understood he stopped so she could drink water peacefully and relax. Once she was done, Lu Lijun started the car and drove away.

Just as they reached close to the city, Jiang Yuyan said, "Drop me to the office."

Office hours were over, so Lu Lijun asked, "At this hour?"

"I have some work to do," she replied.

Lu Lijun understood she must be going to meet Wen Zac. He didn't like it, but he was no one to stop her. She was an independent person who was free to do what she wished.

Lu Lijun took her to the office where San Zemin was already present. Seeing him, Lu Lijun had no problem letting her go.

Jiang Yuyan was about to step out of the car, but she stopped and looked at Lu Lijun. Lu Lijun looked at her to know what happened now.

"Happy birthday," she said.

He stared at her for a moment and nodded slightly, accepting her wishes, not knowing how to react to it. It was the first time after so many years she wished him.

It would have been better if she didn't wish, but this was something that made him feel strange or might be a bit emotional inside, that he tried to suppress.

Jiang Yuyan went to San Zemin, and Lu Lijun left. While driving, he could feel he was still feeling strange. So many things, he felt that it was difficult for him to identify the exact thing he felt.

Driving faster away from that place, Lu Lijun stopped the car somewhere at the roadside. Not being able to distinguish between his feelings, he felt suffocated.

The only question he could always ask himself was, "Why was he like this?"

He felt heavy in the chest as if someone put a huge rock over it. He tried to rub it and had water, but nothing could help him.

Feeling anxious over a few things was not new for him, but this time it was different.

Lu Lijun dialed Noah's number. When Noah received the call, Lu Lijun talked even before Noah could say hello.

"Where are you?"

"I'm home," Noah replied.

"Are you alone?" Lu Lijun asked.

"Brother Tian is here too," Noah replied.

"I'm coming there," Lu Lijun informed and hung up the call.
