Liwei went to Jiang Yuyan's room and stood at the door, not willing to disturb them.
Jiang Yuyan, who felt tired with this dress trail, happened to look at the door after some time.
As their sights met, Liwei bowed to her respectfully, still standing at the door, "Nice to see you, President Lu."
Jiang Yuyan nodded slightly, accepting her greeting. The young girl in front of her smiled brightly and innocently, which reminded Jiang Yuyan of her old self.
"Nice to see you too."
"President Lu looks so pretty," Liwei said, her sight full of admiration for the lady in front of her.
Jiang Yuyan felt awkward with a sudden compliment.
Just then, Lu Lijun came out with others, and Liwei turned to look at them.
"Lu Lijun, doesn't she look the best?" Liwei asked.
Her sudden question startled Lu Lijun while the other two controlled themselves from smiling.
"You are looking even prettier." Praising Liwei, Jiang Yuyan got rid of the sudden awkwardness and looked at An Tian, "As usual, the dress designer did a great job."
"Thank you for the compliment, President Lu," said An Tian.
Jiang Yuyan didn't react to him as she was used to this overacting by An Tian.
"President Lu, can we have dinner together? I would like to know President Lu," Liwei said.
"There is nothing to know about me," Jiang Yuyan countered politely.
Liwei didn't know what to say, and Jiang Yuyan spoke again, "But we can have dinner."
Liwei smiled, "Then we can go directly from here."
Jiang Yuyan nodded, and Liwei looked at Lu Lijun, who was about to leave with An Tain and Jake.
"Lu Lijun, you are coming with us too."
---------
Once they finished the dress trials, the three left for dinner. Jiang Yuyan went in her car while Lu Lijun and Liwei went together in his car to go to the nearby hotel.
On the way, Liwei talked excitedly, "Finally, I'll get to talk to her nicely."
Lu Lijun sighed, "There's nothing to be so excited about."
"You won't understand it because you are family, and you see her every day."
"Family!" Lu Lijun mumbled and focused on the road.
They reached the hotel. Jiang Yuyan sat opposite Lu Lijun and Liwei.
"Thank you so much for your time, President Lu," said Liwei.
"You can call me Yuyan," Jiang Yuyan instructed.
"It's fine. You would be a family soon. President Lu is for outsiders," Jiang Yuyan assured.
Though Jiang Yuyan only meant to comfort Liwei and there was no other intention, her words picked Lu Lijun. Since he returned, he never called her by name but addressed her as President Lu.
"Fine then, Yuyan," said Liwei.
The two ladies looked comfortable with each other, while the young man didn't look so pleased with the conversation.
They ordered the food, and Liwei talked again.
"Yuyan, can I come to Lu Corporation and see how you work? I wish to learn something."
"You are always welcome," Jiang Yuyan replied, "But instead of me, you can see how Lu Lijun works. He is better than me."
She looked at Lu Lijun, "I didn't know this."
Lu Lijun chose to be quiet, and Liwei spoke again, "First, I would like to see the person I admire for so long."
Jiang Yuyan glared at him. She hated the vegetables, and this guy added more.
Liwei giggled and asked, "You don't like vegetables?"
"Nothing special about them," Jiang Yuyan commented and pushed the vegetables aside that Lu Lijun put in her dish.
Lu Lijun picked up more and added in her dish, "If this is not enough, we can order more."
This time Jiang Yuyan said nothing and started eating obediently, not willing to create the scene in front of the young lady.
It surprised Liwei how Jiang Yuyan listened to him and how Lu Lijun could threaten her. Liwei considered Jiang Yuyan to be the boss lady, so this was against what she thought of her.
Liwei then looked at Lu Lijun.
Sensing her gaze, Lu Lijun looked back at her, "What?"
"I didn't know you can be so caring. I would keep making mistakes to get such care from you," said Liwei.
Liwei smiled, seeing the cold man, and started eating.
"Yuyan, would it be fine if I come to Lu Corporation tomorrow?" Liwei asked.
"Hmm," Jiang Yuyan agreed. She was silent as she felt something was wrong with her.
"Excuse me," Jiang Yuyan stood up and left to go to the washroom.
Lu Lijun noticed it, the sweat appearing on her forehead, and she looked pale. For some time, Jiang Yuyan didn't return, and Lu Lijun felt worried.
"I'll be back," he said and went towards the washroom. He was about to knock on the door, but the door opened, and Jiang Yuyan was there.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"I need to leave. You can continue the dinner," Jiang Yuyan said, stepping out of the washroom.
"You don't look good."
"I'm fine." Jiang Yuyan was about to walk but almost lost her balance.
Lu Lijun held her, "Be careful."
Jiang Yuyan could say nothing, and Lu Lijun helped her stand. "I'll take you home."
"Just call Xiao Min," she instructed, shaking her head as she felt dizzy. "D-don't leave Liwei alone."
"She would be fine," Lu Lijun walked Jiang Yuyan to one chair in the washroom corridor and called Liwei.
She reached there soon and looked at Jiang Yuyan, "What happened?"
"She is not well. I'm taking her home," Lu Lijun pulled out his car keys, "You can take my car."
Observing Jiang Yuyan's weak condition, Liwei spoke, "Don't we need to take her to the doctor?"
"No need," said Jiang Yuyan.
"Please take care of things here, and I'll call you later," said Lu Lijun.
Liwei nodded and got the keys from Lu Lijun. "Take care of her."
Lu Lijun helped Yuyan walk, and Liwei returned to the dining table so she could pay the bill and then leave.
Lu Lijun helped Jiang Yuyan sit in the car and then removed his jacket and the tie as he threw them on the back passenger seat.
Just as he started the car, dizzy Jiang Yuyan instructed, "Take me to the office."
"You should go home," Lu Lijun insisted.
"Just listen to me. I messaged Xiao Min. He would be there."
He looked at Jiang Yuyan, and she looked utterly exhausted and pale. Not arguing, Lu Lijun drove to the Lu Corporation.
She wanted to go to her home, but she couldn't take Lu Lijun there as it was a place which no one knew. Neither could she wait for Xiao Min to arrive hotel. She was scared she might faint anytime, and it was better to leave the hotel instead of watching the news the next day saying- President Lu fainted in the hotel.
When they reached Lu Corporation, Xiao Min was already there. Jiang Yuyan opened her eyes, realizing the car had stopped.
"You can take my car home. Don't tell anyone at home about me," she instructed.
Lu Lijun glared at her, thinking how could she expect him to leave her when she was not well. Was there no meaning to his presence? Even Xiao Min was more valuable to her than him to call him when she was not well. Was he not meant to care for her?
Xiao Min came to the car as he opened the door for Jiang Yuyan. She stepped out and walked while Xiao Min supported her.
"I called the doctor. They would be here soon," said Xiao Min, and Lu Lijun heard it.
Even though Jiang Yuyan left without even looking at him, Lu Lijun continued to sit in the car and looked at her going. He saw Jiang Yuyan and Xiao Min entered the building and started the car. But even before he could move it even an inch ahead, he turned it off and stepped out of the car.
Not thinking twice, Lu Lijun ran towards the building to go to her.
