"Lu Lijun."
Someone called, which brought Lu Lijun back to his senses. He looked at the person, wearing the suit, his hands tucked in pant's pocket, and stood at the entrance of the gazebo,
"Are you not feeling well?" Lu Feng asked, entering the gazebo.
"I am fine," Lu Lijun replied as he tried to get rid of thoughts about Jiang Yuyan. He felt like he would go crazy, but the sudden presence of Lu Feng saved him.
Lu Feng could see Lu Lijun was back, but his mind was somewhere that couldn't let him mix up with the family. It was not his fault, but there was a need to do something about it.
"Let's be with grandma for some time, and later would you like to accompany me to my meeting?" Lu Feng asked.
"Meeting?"
"Nothing much, it won't take much time. You might advise me something useful, and it would be helpful."
"I am not experienced enough to give suggestions to the elder brother," Lu Lijun countered.
Lu Feng smiled as he sat on the bench, opposite Lu Lijun, "I heard about your achievement during your internship period."
Lu Lijun looked at his elder brother in surprise and then looked at the other side, mumbling, "My blabbermouth friends."
Lu Feng could only smile, looking at his adorable young brother who kept trying to act tough and cold and hiding his true self.
"Not your friends, but I heard it directly from the important person in that company, and they offered you a good job with an attractive package. They are even ready to accept if you have any demands, that shows how important they consider you," Lu Feng concluded.
"Hmm!" Lu Lijun didn't react much as if he didn't consider it that special.
"I wonder if you wish to go back, then why did you reject such a nice offer from one of the world's best companies? To think about it, every person wants to work there."
"Just."
Lu Feng had Nothing to say as he didn't wish to poke his brother, who looked like he might end up doing something that he should not and changed the topic.
"Let's go to grandma."
Both brothers spent the time with grandma, where Lu Lian accompanied them. They had fun together with elder Lu, who made others smile with his bold and savage words.
Lu Feng took Lu Lijun out to his meeting, where he acted as if he was not interested, but later on the way back to the home, both brothers ended up discussing where Lu Feng taught Lu Lijun a few things and Lu Lijun advised him something.
"You would be a good businessman like Lu Qiang," Lu Feng complimented him, as both brothers chatted on the way back as they sat in the back passenger seat.
"I know CEO Lu Feng is no less than anyone," Lu Lijun countered, and Lu Feng smiled, accepting his younger brother's compliment.
They didn't return home late in the evening from the meeting, but Lu Feng took Lu Lijun to one place. The car stopped in front of one lavish bungalow.
"Where are we?" Lu Lijun asked.
"There is someone you would like to meet," said Lu Feng as the door at the entrance opened automatically after Lu Feng pressed the bell button.
"Is it brother An Tian's home?" Lu Lijun asked.
"Hmm, perfect guess," Lu Feng complimented.
Other than An Tian and Jiang Yang, Lu Lijun didn't know anyone. He was sure it wouldn't be Jiang Yang's home, so the one who left was An Tian, and looking at how well decorated and full of life that home looked, he was sure it belonged to the artist.
Entering the gate, they stepped on the wide marble path that had a lawn on its sides, and the entire surrounding was lit with the lights from numerous lamps that made the place attractive. They reached the door of the bungalow, and the next moment the door opened.
"Welcome, my friend," Noah, a cheerful guy, opened the door as he smiled, looking at Lu Lijun.
Lu Feng entered the home as Noah stepped aside while Lu Lijun commented, "Why are you acting like it's your home?"
"It's brother Tian's home, so I can call it my home," Noah countered, his voice loud enough to let everyone hear it. "Am I right, brother Tian?"
An Tian , who was busy talking To Lu Feng, agreed, "Yes."
Lu Feng and An Tian sat on the sofa while Noah asked Lu Lijun to follow him to his room.
Once they left, An Tian asked Lu Feng, "How is he?"
"Not so good. Feels like he is at a stranger's place," Lu Feng replied.
An Tian already expected this, "Hmm, did he talk to Jiang Yuyan?"
"Not really. Just for the formality. It seems like he is really upset with her and won't back down so soon."
"Upset? That he is, but….."
Lu Feng gave him a questioning look, "But…."
"Nothing, I guess he needs more time," An Tian changed the topic, and Lu Feng noticed.
"An Tian, you know I will catch you if you try to hide something then why this failed attempt of changing the topic. You are not the one who is used to a slip of the tongue issues," Lu Feng commented and instructed, "Complete the lines after that- But…"
"I think he didn't forget Yuyan for what you have sent him there," An Tian replied.
"You mean….." Lu Feng didn't know how to express himself in words.
"Not sure, but just a guess, and I am worried if that guess is right, what will happen."
Lu Feng looked worried, "All along, I thought he was just angry with her."
An Tian raised his eyebrow looking at Lu Feng doubtfully.
"What?" Lu Feng exclaimed.
"Don't tell me you never felt the possibility of this thing," An Tian questioned.
Lu Feng sighed deeply, "Sometimes, we prefer to ignore things."
"Hmm."
"I just hope things won't take a bad turn. Should we let him go back?" Lu Feng asked.
"If he wanted to stay away, do you think he would be back like this?" An Tian countered, and Lu Feng waited for him to explain.
"Sometimes, a person says one thing but inside his heart wishes for otherwise. This is the case with him," An Tian commented.
"What should we do then?"
"Leave it on time. Till now, time was the only solution, and it would be the same like this."
"Hmm!"

In Noah's room…
Lu Lijun followed him and asked, "What?"
"Impatient man, sit here," Noah instructed as he signaled Lu Lijun to sit on the chair.
Pulling out the one envelope from the drawer, Noah passed it to him.
Lu Lijun opened it and went through the paper in it, but the moment he saw the logo at the top of the paper, he immediately looked at the content written in the paper though he already guessed what it was.
Reading the entire content, Lu Lijun looked at him, "Will you be working here?"
"Yes, Lu corporation is like a dream company here and best for me," Noah replied.
"You had the offers in England too then...?"
Noah gave him a narrowed eyes look. "Are you looking down on our home country and companies?"
Lu Lijun sighed as he didn't know how to convince his friend not to work there, "There are other companies too."
"Does this colony belong to you?" Noah asked casually, but later he thought about something, "Your last name is Lu, brother Lu Feng is your cousin, so you are the son of this family, right?"
When Lu Lijun went to England, every source regarding his real identity and family background had been cleared that no one knew about it, and that's why people around him were always curious about him.
Even Lu Lijun never preferred others to know about his family or his real identity, not even his two close friends. The reason was only known to him that he didn't give a thought about.
Noah had the idea that Lu Lijun was from a rich family but could never get the information of his actual background, and after getting warned by Jake so many times, Noah stopped investigating the things as Noah read the articles about Lu Feng because he was the famous businessman now, Noah could guess more or less things.
Though there were times Noah could easily find out things, but he respected his friend's wish and stopped himself from going into the details.
"Tell me you are the heir of this giant conglomerate," Noah asked again.
"What if I am?" Lu Lijun countered.
"Then, I won't miss the chance to leech off of my rich friend," Noah chuckled.
"Go to another company. You can get the best jobs anywhere," Lu Lijun ordered.
"Why are you so nervous about me having a job there? They are giving me a hefty amount of salary, an apartment, a car, a good position….."
"I know, and others will give you the same as you highly qualify and deserve to get better," Lu Lijun interrupted him.
Noah stopped as he stared at Lu Lijun for a while.
"What?"
Giving him a questioning look as Noah scratched his chin, he asked, "Are you trying to hide something, Lijun?"
Lu Lijun cleared his throat, "What's there to hide about? It's awkward to see a friend working in a company owned by my family."
"Don't worry, once I'll start working there, that awkwardness will go away. Also, won't it be good for you in the future if a talented man like me would work for you, your highness?"
"My a…." Lu Lijun stopped, and Noah looked at him with his eyes wide open as he commented.
"My friend, the real man of culture, used the foul words that mean you are pissed for real," Noah concluded, enjoying the moment.
Lu Lijun knew there was no use in talking to Noah, and the more he insisted, the more Noah would be stubborn, so he thought to find another way.
