Chapter 1554 If You Are Their Mother

1554 If You Are Their Mother

Lu Lijun stepped into Jiang Yuyan's room, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to claim that it had become their shared space. Ever since the day Jiang Yuyan had relented and allowed him access, the room had seamlessly transformed into a joint domain. What started as a persistent request from Lu Lijun to spend every night with her evolved into a gradual assimilation of his personal stuff, ranging from clothing to various essentials, effectively claiming the space as his own.

A portion of the wardrobe now housed his clothes, ties, watches, and perfumes. The bathroom featured duplicates of everything – toothbrushes, cups, towels, and more. Even the work table accommodated two laptops side by side.

On occasion, he would casually don his brother's garments, which Jiang Yuyan had kept, and adorn himself with watches from Lu Qiang's cherished collection.

As Jiang Yuyan rummaged through her wardrobe, contemplating her outfit for the upcoming meeting, she noticed Lu Lijun's entrance. "What brings you here?" Her voice revealed a hint of displeasure.

"To prepare for the meeting we need to attend," he replied, making his way towards the wardrobe.

"Didn't you mention we had enough time when I asked you downstairs to get ready?"

"I just thought getting ready with my wife wouldn't be a bad idea," he responded.

Observing his apparent obliviousness to her displeasure, she paused her preparations and turned to confront him. "When will you stop these childish antics and stop embarrassing me in front of our family?"

"What did I do?" "Ugh, I can't believe you don't even realize," she expressed clear frustration. "Why do you insist on treating that little kid like he's your love rival? He's just a child."

"I've known you since I was a kid, and I don't want another kid vying for your affection."

"Lijun, does that even make sense?"

"To me, it does."

"Your twelve-year-old self was more sensible than you are now?" She commented.

"In the past, if there were any other Weiwei trying to win your affection, my twelve-year-old self would have given him a good beating. Now, he's spared because I can't possibly beat a child."

She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. "You're impossible. You're the kind of man who would get jealous even of their own kids."

"I admit it."

"You would make a heartless father. It's a relief not to have a child when the father is like this," she sighed. "It's fortunate that I can't have kids; otherwise, I'd be facing nothing but trouble in the future."

"Mhmm, that's really good. This way, I can have you all to myself," he said, turning to the wardrobe to pick out his clothes.

"Are you two leaving already?" Elder Lu asked.

"Yes, Grandpa," Jiang Yuyan answered. "It's an important project."

"Alright, make sure to return early. We have guests at home."

"We will," she assured and then noticed a little guy, hiding behind his father and peeking at her. He seemed clearly frightened of Lu Lijun and tried to stay away from her.

"Weiwei, come here," Jiang Yuyan said softly.

"I won't. Uncle will..."

"He won't dare. I won't let him," Jiang Yuyan assured. "I will teach him a lesson later."

"I'll wait for it," Lu Lijun said with a light smirk.

"Shut up," she scolded in a low voice and walked toward Weiwei only to kneel before him. "Give me a hug, Weiwei."

Weiwei looked at Lu Lijun, who sighed and looked away. Weiwei finally hugged her, and Jiang Yuyan said, "Now, give me this," pointing towards her cheek. Weiwei gave her a soft peck, and in return, Jiang Yuyan did the same.

Weiwei was finally happy and no longer scared. He heard Jiang Yuyan say, "I'll be back soon, and then we can play."

A lost smile returned to his chubby face. "Yes, I'll wait, Aunt Yuyu."

Jiang Yuyan stood, and they left together in Lu Lijun's car. Once inside, he glanced at her, not yet starting the car.

She met his gaze. "What?"

He pointed to his cheek with his finger, the message clear. "Such a child," she mumbled, leaning toward him to give him a peck on the cheek.

He moved his hand, wiping the spot where Weiwei had kissed her, and then planted his own peck on the same spot.

Jiang Yuyan was momentarily speechless. "My life sure won't be easy with you. I thought your brother was the limit, but you are worse."

"Thanks for the compliment," he said with a light smirk, finally starting the car.
