Chapter 1023: Fake Concern...

They reached home. The moment Lu Lijun stepped out of the car, he went inside Lu Mansion and then to his room, without even saying a word to anyone.

Everyone could feel that something must have upset him, but it was hard to figure it out due to his sudden strange behaviors.

"His mood swings are worse than what I had at the start of pregnancy," Lu Bao commented as she walked along with Lu Lian.

Ning Jiahui felt worried too and talked to Yuyan, who accompanied her to go inside the home, "Did something happen in office for him to be like this?"

Before Yuyan could ask, Lu Jinhai said, "Stop worrying about him. He can handle himself."

"But…"

"He is right," elder Lu interrupted Ning Jiahui.

Everyone went to their rooms. Just as Jiang Yuyan went to the second floor, she stopped at Lu Lijun's room. She thought to talk to him and knocked on the door.

"Come in," came the voice from inside of the room.

Jiang Yuyan opened the door, and it startled Lu Lijun, who just removed his jacket and T-shirt to change to another pair of clothes, standing in front of his wardrobe in jeans.

He never thought Jiang Yuyan to be the one to knock on the door and thought it must be a butler or any other servant.

Startled, he turned around to face his back to Jiang Yuyan and put on his T-shirt.

Seeing him in such condition, Jiang Yuyan stopped at the door, not looking at him, "I'll come later."

Saying she was about to step back, she heard him, "Wait."

Putting on his T-shirt, Lu Lijun turned to look at her. "What is it?" he asked.

She looked at him, "Is there anything wrong?"

"No," he replied instantly.

"In the office, you looked upset and also at Mr. Wen's home too."

It reminded Lu Lijun of how he threw everything from his work table in the office.

Lu Lijun stared at her for a while, and she waited for him to answer.

Not letting his sight move from hers, he replied coldly, "All these years, not even once you care to ask if I was fine or not, so no need to show this fake concern to me. I'm not used to it."

Jiang Yuyan had nothing to reply to it but looked normal as if his words didn't affect her.

"If there is anything, you can tell me. Good night," she said and turned to leave.

Seeing her not even a bit affected by his words affected him, he turned even bitter.

"I can't dare to bother president Lu. Rest assured, even if I'm about to die, I'll go anywhere but you."

Hearing it, Jiang Yuyan didn't stop and left to go to her room.

The moment the door closed, Lu Lijun frowned and felt like taking his anger out by throwing the things, but this time he controlled.

Exhaling through his mouth to calm himself down, he went towards the bed and lay on it. His legs hung out of the bed, and his feet touched the floor as he stared at the ceiling.

The moment he closed his eyes, the scene from earlier when Jiang Yuyan smiled to Wen Zac flashed in front of his eyes.

Furious, he grabbed the pillow in the bed and threw it away, which fled towards the door.

Exactly the same time, someone opened the door, and the pillow fell on the feet of the person who just entered.

Picking up the pillow, the person stepped towards the bed, "Are you going through puberty to act like this?" the person asked and put that pillow back on the bed.

Lu Lijun recognized the voice but didn't open his eyes to look at the person, "Elder sister, I want to rest."

That was Lu Lian who entered the room.

When Lu Lian returned home, she was worried about Lu Lijun. Taking Lu Boa to her room, Lu Lian came to the second floor to see her brother.

Just as she reached nearby, she heard someone talking. Lu Lijun's room door was open as Jiang Yuyan stood there. She stopped and happened to hear the conversation between them.

Hearing it, Lu Lian felt sad as she thought, 'I thought these two are fine, but it seems like I was wrong.'

Jiang Yuyan went to her room without even looking at someone in the corridor. Lu Lian entered Lu Lijun's room to be welcomed by the thrown pillow which fell on her feet.

"I doubt you would be able to sleep like this," Lu Lian commented and sat at the edge of the bed beside Lu Lijun.

Lu Lijun looked at her, "Don't you have to sleep?"

"You are more important than my sleep," she replied.

"I wish if others were as kind as you," he commented and sat up.

The brother and sister sat calmly at the edge of the bed, where the brother looked disturbed but lost without knowing why he was like that.

"I heard what you said to Yuyan," Lu Lian commented.

"I didn't ask her to come to me," he replied, not feeling guilty over his action.

Lu Lian sighed and spoke, "Whatever it is, but she doesn't deserve to be treated like this by anyone."

"Are you here to talk on her behalf?" Lu Lijun asked.

"No, I just don't want you to do anything that you will regret later."

"There's nothing left to regret over," he mumbled.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

Not answering her, Lu Lijun moved back in the bed, "It's late, elder sister."

"Yeah, I know you want me to go, but I'll come to you again," Lu Lian stood up. Turning off the lights, she went out, leaving her stubborn brother on his own.

She looked at Jiang Yuyan's room and thought to go to her.

------

Leaving Lu Lijun's room, Jiang Yuyan went to her room and sat on the couch, resting back and closed her eyes.

She looked like in so many thoughts as frowned lines appeared on her forehead. In a while, there was a knock on the door, but Jiang Yuyan didn't react.

Not getting a reply, Lu Lian opened the door only to hear Jiang Yuyan, "If you are here to argue, I'm not in a mood."

"It's me," Lu Lian spoke.
