"Your cousin is now related to me for a lifetime so you should stop worrying about her. She belongs to me and she is my responsibility. Soon the whole world will get to know about it." Saying it, Lu Qiang looked at Jiang Yuyan and asked, "Am I right?" to which Jiang Yuyan nodded a little with a smile which she was trying to hide.
Nixxxie and principal smiled to see this show of affection by Lu Qiang while Ming Lan was standing silently. She was heartbroken and needed time to get over it.
To this reply from Lu Qiang, Ming Rusheng couldn't find any words to say as he knew what Lu Qiang said was the truth because till now he understood, Jiang Yuyan loved him too and the day when she will become Lu Qiang's wife won't be too far. Moreover, that was Lu Qiang who was among the most powerful person and it was not easy to deal with him.
The thought of, Jiang Yuyan belonging to Lu Qiang was killing him inside but at that moment but there was nothing he could do but grit his teeth and clench his fist.
Lu Qiang asked Jiang Yuyan to sit in the car and both left the university. Reporters didn't get any chance to ask anything to Lu Qiang and they just had to be satisfied with the pictures of the Car. Lu Qiang wanted to announce it in a proper way and not anywhere in the crowd of reporters so he didn't stop to answer them.
Soon both reached Lu Mansion where reporters were waiting for them too but security guards control them.
Everyone in the family was aware of what was happening outside and why. All were waiting for Lu Qiang and Jiang Yuyan to come home as they were excited to see the news.
Once both reached inside the mansion, elder Lu stood up from his seat and went to Lu Qiang. "That's like my grandson. Always show your love in a way to turn the whole world upside down," he said and hugged Lu Qiang.
Though Lu Qiang didn't say clearly anything to his family, all were already aware of it and waiting for this day to come when they could clearly express their happiness to Lu Qiang.
Lu Qiang smiled to hear it and hugged his grandpa back just then elder Lu whispered in Lu Qiang's ear, "I can see my great-grandchildren playing in this mansion with me."
"Soon grandpa." Lu Qiang replied and this time he was not annoyed with his grandpa's great-grandchildren talk.
Elder Lu turned towards Jiang Yuyan and said, "Finally my dream to make you my granddaughter-in-law is going to be true." Jiang Yuyan blushed to hear it and smiled. Elder Zhao Shuang too blessed her with loving words and a smile.
All had smiles on their faces as being happy but Su Hui. She didn't say anything and kept quiet. Lu Jinhai came to Jiang Yuyan and said while patting on her head, "My friend would be happy to know this as much as I am. I will talk to him soon and bring you to this house permanently."
Ning Jiahui was so happy that she hugged Jiang Yuyan and said, "I am glad that Lu Qiang chose you. I would be very happy to see you as my daughter-in-law."
Lu Bao and Lu Lian came to both of them with an ear to ear smile on their faces and said, "We already knew it, brother Lu Qiang. We are happy for both of you." Lu Qiang smiled to his excited sisters and patted them on the head.
Seeing everyone congratulating them, Su Hui too got up from the sofa and went to Lu Qiang and Jiang Yuyan. "Congratulations to both of you." to which Lu Qiang didn't react while Jiang Yuyan replied back with a smile.
Everyone said something but Lu Lijun was standing silently, not being hyper like others. Lu Qiang held Jiang Yuyan's hand and both went Lu Lijun who was standing near the sofa while looking at them. "Won't you say anything, Lu Lijun?"
"Elder brother, do you think without my silent approval it was possible for her to be with you peacefully." Lu Lijun said in a serious tone and cold expression on his face but there was a hidden approval in his sarcastic words and happiness in his eyes for his elder brother.
Lu Qiang smiled to hear it. He knew Lu Lijun was already aware of the relationship between him and Jiang Yuyan as he was a smart kid and he already approved Jiang Yuyan in their lives. He couldn't help but thank him, "Thank you for accepting her, Lu Lijun."
"I am happy for you, elder brother." Lu Lijun replied then looked at Jiang Yuyan and said, "Just like the elder brother, now you are a part of my life too as everything that belongs to the elder brother, belongs to me, too."
Jiang Yuyan nodded with a smile as saying 'Yes' to what Lu Lijun said. Lu Lijun's acceptance of Jiang Yuyan was the biggest thing in the family and all were relaxed to see this.
Those words from Lu Lijun were not hollow. He always meant what he said but in the near future how these words will take turns in certain conditions, no one ever thought about it. Jiang Yuyan was smiling being unaware of what her approval could mean in the future when she will face the unfortunate turn in her life.
===============================
***(For all the readers, a glimpse of the present between adult Lu Lijun and Jiang Yuyan as I got so many requests regarding this.)***
Lying in a bed, Jiang Yuyan opened her eyes just to see, Lu Lijun was sitting in a chair calmly while looking at her.
"finally you are awake."
"Get out of my room."
"Mother asked me to take care of you as she is busy."
"When did you learn to obey others and do you even know how to care for someone?"
"No. I don't, but for the first time I want to take care of someone and that someone is my wife."
