Surprised and puzzled, Lu Lijun looked at his father, "What is it about?"
"In the office, didn't I ask you what you think about it?"
Puzzled, Lu Lijun looked at his father and remembered the conversation when he didn't let his father talk the entire thing. 'So father was talking about the elder sister and not about her,' he concluded.
"Elder sister and Mr. Wen's son?" he asked questioningly.
Lu Jinhai nodded, "If she is ready, then we can think about it."
Lu Lijun looked at his brother Lu Feng who looked like he knew it already. Lu Lijun had so many questions in his mind about all the talk he heard about Yuyan and Wen Zac's marriage arrangement.
He was sure he didn't hear anything wrong, and it was not just once or twice but so many times. All the time, they mentioned Wen Zac for Yuyan, and there was no mention of Lu Lian's name.
He didn't know what to say and how to ask about it as Lu Lian was there. Nodding lightly, he continued eating, thinking to talk about it later.
Once the dinner was over, Lu Lijun went to his father in his study room.
"What do you want to ask?" Lu Jinhai asked as he sat in his chair.
Lu Lijun sat opposite him, "Father, wasn't that marriage proposal for President Lu?"
Lu Jinhai nodded, "It was."
"Then?"
"When my friend asked Wen Zac, he said he thinks of Yuyan just as a friend."
Though it should be happy news for Lu Lijun, he clenched his fists, 'So he rejected her. How dare he?'
Looking at Lu Lijun, who looked dazed, Lu Jinhai asked, "What are you thinking?"
Lu Lijun looked at his father, "When he rejected her, how can they ask for sister Lian?"
"It's fine. It was the elder's fault when they decided things on their own without asking kids. If he doesn't think about Yuyan like this, then there is nothing we can do. But that doesn't make him a bad person."
Lu Lijun knew Wen Zac was a good person, but still, he didn't know why he felt hostility towards him.
Lu Jinhai continued, "It's not like we are forcing your sister. We just suggested to her. She doesn't have anyone she likes, and it's time she should think about getting married."
Lu Lijun just nodded, agreeing to his father, and left.
Lu Lijun remembered Yuyan and the sudden changes in her. She didn't look good these past few days. She came to him on her own, and she was even pissed at him in the office when they argued.
'He rejected her. Was it the reason? The way she behaved with him, it looked like she liked him. Doesn't father say she asked time to think over it?' he thought.
He went to his room and sat on the couch. How much he tried, he couldn't stop thinking about her. The more he thought more he turned angry over her with what she said to him.
Her words couldn't stop ringing in his mind that made him bitter towards her. When she asked him to leave, her angry face never left his sight, and he remembered everything from the office again.
'You are right. You are nothing but the burden of my life that I want to get rid of right away. All these years, I put up with it but not anymore. So do what I said and let me get rid of you.'
Remembering it, he felt like turning his room upside down as there is no other way to take his anger out.
Leaning back on the couch, he stared at the ceiling as angry thoughts ran through his mind. His eyes turned darker, and he clenched his fists.
'Just her responsibility...burden of her life...wants to get rid of me, huh?… I'll show her what the real burden is and how it can trouble her....She can never be free....President?... I will never accept it, and she has to be there always going through the pain I'll give her...just wait for it, president Lu…'

Jiang Yuyan returned to her home with Xiao Min, where the doctor already waited in the living room with one lady nurse.
Seeing the doctor, Jiang Yuyan glared at Xiao Min, who acted as if he didn't notice it.
Jiang Yuyan stepped towards her room, nodding lightly to the doctor to greet him.
Xiao Min went to the doctor, "Thanks for coming at this hour."
"Ahh, it's fine. Doctor's job is to take care of the patients," replied the doctor who looked in his mid-forties.
"I'll be back," said Xiao Min and went to Jiang Yuyan's room.
Knocking on the door, Xiao Min opened the door where Jiang Yuyan sat in her bed, looking at the window on her right side.
"Boss, should I call the doctor?" He asked.
"Did you ask me before calling me here, then why ask now?" she replied, not even looking at him.
Xiao Min was used to such behavior from her and didn't mind it. Most of the time, he took decisions on his own which related to her health and wellbeing.
"I'll call him," said Xiao Min and went downstairs.
While going upstairs to Jiang Yuyan's room, the doctor said, "President Lu doesn't seem happy seeing me here."
"When was she even before?" Xiao Min replied.
The doctor smiled, "President Lu is as good as a kid when it comes to doctors."
Xiao Min smiled too, "It's better like this."
The doctor agreed, and the two went to Jiang Yuayn's room as the nurse followed them, carrying the medical toolbox.
When they went inside, Jiang Yuyan was still the same, sitting while resting at the headrest of the bed and staring at the window.
Xiao Min felt it was a bit cold in the room, so he adjusted the temperature and pulled the quilt over Jiang Yuyan's feet.
She looked at Xiao min, and he went to her to adjust one more pillow on her back to let her sit comfortably. She let him do it and looked at the doctor.
"How is, president Lu?" The doctor asked.
"Seeing the doctor here reminded me I'm not fine," came the sarcastic reply from the queen.
The doctor was used to it and just smiled lightly.
