After spending the entire day in the office, Lu Lijun was waiting to return home with Jiang Yuyan as he had come to the office in her car. After office hours were over, Lu Lijun was ready to leave when Noah came to his office.
"Leaving already?" Noah asked.
"Do you expect me to work all the time?" Lu Lijun countered.
"Not like that but as per my knowledge you prefer to stay more in the office to stay away from someone…."
"Not any more now. I have given her enough time," Lu Lijun said as he strode towards the door.
"Oh! Good then but for the first time I saw president Lu Leaving office even before office hours and as far as I know, there is no business meeting set for her outside."
Lu Lijun's hand that was on the handle of the door froze and he looked at Noah, "Are you sure she has left?"
"Yes, Mr. Xiao Min had already informed me that he was leaving early when I went to his office for some work," Noah replied.
'She is running away from me again,' Lu Lijun frowned as he gripped the handle tightly.
"Calm down. I didn't tell you this so you will get angry. I didn't want you to go to the president's office only to find it empty," Noah explained.
Lu Lijun said nothing and the two stepped out of the office. "Do you want to come with me?"
Lu Lijun shook his head as he looked so serious and cold but still talked, "I am home after so long. I need to be home now."
"Understood," Noah agreed, "I'' drop you home."
"It's fine. You can go home."
Noah didn't insist because he knew Lu Lijun had something else in his mind and just want to be alone.
When the two reached the entrance of the building, a security head came to him, "Fourth Young Master, the car is ready for you."
A black luxury car was parked at the entrance as the driver was ready to open the door for him.
Lu Lijun understood it was Jiang Yuyan's order as he had not brought his car. Lu Lijun looked at the security head, "No need," and walked past him and the car.
Lu Lijun left the office building while walking as Noah could only stare at his retreating back. He sure was so upset.
Lu Lijun walked for a long time calmly with his both hands tucked in his winter coat's pockets.
He didn't mind walking in that cold and looked lost in his world.

In the private meeting room of one of the hotels, Jiang Yuyan was sitting on the sofa as she was waiting for someone.
Xiao Min entered the room and informed her, "He will be here in five minutes."
Jiang Yuyan nodded as she continued to stare at the wall in front blankly."
Soon after the man wearing a grey suit entered the room. "Good evening, President Lu."
Jiang Yuyan accepted the greeting with a slight nod, "Have a seat."
The man sat in the chair perpendicular to the sofa she was sitting on and placed his briefcase on the center table.
"President Lu, I have prepared all the legal documents you have asked me to prepare," The man opened his briefcase and took out the big-sized brown envelope as she handed it over to Jiang Yuyan.
Jiang Yuyan pulled the legal documents out from the envelope and the man said, "In these legal papers, it is mentioned that all your assets under you, the properties and rights over the business will be transferred to Mr. Lu Lijun."
Jiang Yuyan went through those documents one by one as she heard the lawyer, "May I know the reason for all this. It is so sudden…."
"Everything had always belonged to him. I am just doing a formality of giving it back to him. It's the right time now," she replied and looked at the man, "I believe I can trust you so it won't go out."
"Rest assured President Lu. I have always been loyal to the Previous President and to you too."
Jiang Yuyan knew she could trust him and heard the man again, "The home that the previous Present has made for you two, you have transferred its ownership to Mr. Lu Lijun. That home…."
"That home was built by his brother and as I won't be here so it's right to give it to him," Jiang Yuyan replied.
The lawyer felt bad hearing it but he could only obey the orders and left.
Jiang Yuyan left in the car as Xiao Min made sure, "Jiang Residence?"
"Hmm!" Jiang Yuyan replied.
Through the rearview mirror, Xiao Min could feel his boss was unusually calm and he heard her asking. "Did he return home?"
"Not yet, boss."
Jiang Yuyan looked at her wristwatch and realized it was long since office hours were over.
"Is he still in office?"
"He left on time."
"Then?"
"He didn't get into the car that we had arranged but preferred to walk instead."
It surprised her. She looked outside and realized it's not a good walk for long in snowfall.
"Where is he at the moment?" Jiang Yuyan asked.
Xiao Min passed her tablet and saw his location. "Drive there," she instructed.
The driver turned the car as per Xiao Min asked where to go.
Just as they reached closer to Lu Lijun's location, Jiang Yuyan instructed, "Don't let him see us."
It surprised the other two. They thought their boss had asked to turn the car only to get Lu Lijun with them but it was not the case. Jiang Yuyan saw Lu Lijun walking slowly on the footpath of that widespread multi-lane road as her car stopped at a distance on the other side of the road.
Jiang Yuyan continued to look at him quietly as the car moved further ahead to maintain the same distance between him and the car.
Jiang Yuyan felt like if she kept looking at him, she would go to him and ask him to come with her. He might misunderstand her care and again they will go back to where she didn't want to.
"Turn the car," she instructed.
"Yes, Boss?"
"To the Jiang residence," she instructed.
The driver did so and they left. Leaving him like that hurt her. She felt like there was a weight on her chest and she couldn't breathe. She exhaled a few more times but couldn't stop her eyes from getting moist. She grabbed the water bottle and had a few sips, hoping the tightness in her chest would go away.
"Ask San Zemin to keep watching him," she instructed.
"They are already doing it," Xiao Min informed.
