Chapter 923 Don't Go...
In the evening, when Yuyan went home, the elder Lu crossed paths with her in the living room.
"Where is Lu Lijun?" Elder Lu asked as he looked at the Mansion's door.
"He must be with his friends," Jiang Yuyan replied.
"Hmm," Elder Lu was about to leave to go out; Jiang Yuyan stopped him, seeing him unusually calm.
"Grandpa, is there any problem?" she asked.
"No, go have a rest," elder Lu suggested.
"Grandpa, don't hide it from me," she insisted.
"As usual, your grandma's health worries me," Elder Lu replied.
"I will go see grandma." Saying she went to grandma's room.
Seeing her, grandma smiled, "Are you back from work?"
Nodding, Jiang Yuyan sat at the edge of the bed beside grandma, who sat while resting at the bed's headboard, reading something.
Jiang Yuyan touched grandma's forehead, and it surprised grandma.
"I am fine, dear. Did my old man say something? He worried for Nothing."
Jiang Yuyan assured that grandma didn't have a fever or anything, but she looked weak. There was a bit of improvement in her, but it looked like disappeared again.
"How is Lu Lijun doing? I hope my stubborn grandson is not troubling you," Grandma commented, smiling.
"No, grandma. He is good, a bit stubborn but obedient," Jiang Yuyan replied.
"That means he still knows how to listen to others and especially you," grandma concluded.
There was a smile on grandma's face and brightness in her eyes whenever she talked about Lu Lijun, and Jiang Yuyan could see it clearly. Jiang Yuyan thought to continue talking about him.
"He knows, but that way of obeying goes through the strong denial," Jiang Yuyan commented as she added, "No wonder he took after his elder brother, stubborn but…." Jiang Yuyan stopped.
"Caring," grandma added.
"Hmm."
"So, you too think he is like Lu Qiang?"
"Hmm."
"Then I don't have to worry about anything," said grandma, and Jiang Yuyan gave her a puzzled look.
Grandma continued, "I mean, if he is like my Lu Qiang, then he will make this home like before, small heaven that we once had here. I always knew, when he would be back, this home can turn lively again. I wish him to stay here and not to go back."
Jiang Yuyan felt sad to see how much grandma expected from him and how she wished everything to be like before, but Lu Lijun planned to go back. If grandma came to know it, how would she feel?
"What are you thinking, Yuyan?"
Yuyan came back to her senses, "Nothing, grandma. You should rest. I will take leave."
Grandma permitted Jiang Yuyan, and she left. On the way to her room, Jiang Yuyan thought about what grandma said, and Lu Lijun was going the next day.
If he left, then the hope grandma had would disappear, and she thought to stop him from returning.
-----
Lu Lijun didn't return home for dinner, and Jiang Yuyan waited for him so that she could talk to him.
Late in the night, when the entire family went to sleep, Lu Lijun returned. Jiang Yuyan was standing in the gallery and saw Lu Lijun's car enter the Mansion gate.
The moment Lu Lijun stepped out of the car and handed over the car key to the servant, his sight as usual moved towards the second floor. This time, the second-floor gallery was not empty, but someone was standing there looking at him.
Finally, the day was there when she waited for him. He had been waiting to see her there for so long. When he left for England nine years back, he continued looking at her room, hoping to see her standing there. Even when he returned home from England and returned late home every night, his eyes never forgot to take a look at her room, but she was never there.
Lu Lijun averted his sight, and he didn't know what he felt. Why seeing her waiting for him felt so relieving as if he just waited for it so long. Was it a coincidence, or she really waited for him? The thought kept rushing in his mind, and he went inside the Mansion.
When Lu Lijun reached the second floor, he looked at Jiang Yuyan's room, thinking she would come out and ask him where he was or something else at least if she had waited for him, but she was not there.
'What was I thinking? Why would she wait for me?' sighing and considering himself an idiot for expecting something like this, Lu Lijun went to the room.
Just as he came out of the shower and got ready in night pajamas to get into the bed, there was a knock on his door.
Not thinking much, Lu Lijun opened the door only to get a little shock. Jiang Yuyan was standing in front of him.
"I need to talk to you," she informed.
Lu Lijun stepped back, still holding the door, and made a space for her to enter the room.
Jiang Yuyan stepped inside, and he let go of the door. Not asking why she was there, Lu Lijun stood quietly, ready to listen to her.
"You have booked flight tickets for tomorrow," she commented.
He nodded, "Hmm."
Grandma is not well yet so..."
"I will keep coming to see her once in a while," Lu Lijun interrupted, as he understood why Jiang Yuyan was there.
"Since you are back, she is doing well, and she expects a lot from you," Jiang Yuyan added.
"I would never disappoint her. I will do my best to make her proud, doesn't matter if I do it here or there," Lu Lijun countered, "I talked to her a few days back, and she asked me to do whatever I feel is right, and she would be happy."
Jiang Yuyan already expected this guy to be stubborn, but she was calm.
Lu Lijun stepped towards his bed, "It's late."
He was about to climb the bed, but he heard something that froze him.
"Don't go."
