Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

The next day, Lu Lijun woke up as he looked around in the room and realized where he slept. Surprisingly, sleeping here felt good. Was it because it was her room? His own room was the best one in the entire mansion.

Only the night passed by, but he started to miss her. He wished to see her but had no other choice but to wait for her. As his brother said, he needed to give her some time.

Getting out of the bed, he knew he had something important to do. Getting ready, he greeted his family members, who still didn't blame him for what he did.

"I won't be having breakfast at home," he informed.

"Are you going somewhere?" Ning Jiahui asked, seeing her son was ready in his office clothes.

"Wen Mansion," Lu Lijun replied.

It surprised others. "Are you sure?" Lu Jinhai asked.

"Hmm."

"Though he is my friend, he won't go easy on you," Lu Jinhai warned, but he was glad that his son thought about it and was ready to take responsibility.

"We Lu are not scared of anyone," said elder Lu as he added, "He made a mistake, so he should apologize for it, then whatever the person in front would say."

"You can leave," Lu Jinhai permitted his son, and Lu Lijun left.

Lu Lijun reached Wen Mansion, where the butler was surprised to see him. He welcomed him outside of the mansion door and led his way inside.

In the living room, Mr. Wen and his son were present, as Mrs. Wen informed them.

"She still doesn't want to come downstairs for breakfast."

"Mother, give her the time she wants," said Wen Zac.

"Staying inside the room every time is not the solution," Mrs. Wen said.

Mr. Wen, who was still silent, spoke, "Let her be. Once she is fine, she will come."

Lu Lijun heard everything, and he realized he had hurt Liwei too much.

The butler left, and Wen Zac saw Lu Lijun standing, who had just arrived.

Wen Zac stood up to greet him. "Lu Lijun."

Lu Lijun nodded lightly to greet him back as he looked at Mr. Wen, who looked displeased with his presence. Still, it didn't affect Lu Lijun as he understood Mr. Wen was right in his place.

Lu Lijun bowed to him. "I'm here to apologize for what I did."

"You must be delusional to think I'll accept it, and everything would be over with it," Mr. Wen countered, his voice and his sight cold.

Wen Zac felt bad for the young guy who might face his father's anger, but it was needed so his father could be at peace. The only thing he could do later was to stop his father from doing something serious.

Lu Lijun was Lu Qiang's brother, and from how much Wen Zac observed Lu Lijun, he was sure Lu Lijun could handle anything.

"I don't expect Mr. Wen to forgive me and stop him from doing what would make him feel better for how much I have hurt the Wen family. I am here just to apologize and ready to accept the consequences," Lu Lijun replied.

"You sure can accept the consequences as it won't affect you. You are not the one to work hard to build the Lu Corporation. You can never understand it, but they have to bear it for all your mistakes."

"Though I'm not the one to build it, the people who did it are mine. Hurting them is like hurting me, and I would never want that."

"Then you would have thought before what you have done."

"I can't reverse it, but I'll accept what will come my way and make sure to make up for what Lu Corporation will suffer because of my mistakes."

Mr. Wen chuckled. "Young generation, full of themselves and that overconfidence."

Lu Lijun didn't react to it as he was expecting to hear even worse from Mr. Wen.

"I want to meet Liwei," Lu Lijun said.

"You can't," said Mr. Wen coldly.

"I need to apologize to her," Lu Lijun insisted.

"You apologized to me; it's enough. Don't show up in front of ever," said Mr. Wen.

Before Lu Lijun could say more, Wen Zac spoke, "She is not in the condition to talk to anyone. Later maybe."

It was Wen Zac's way to say he can meet her later but now listen to his father.

Lu Lijun bowed. "I'll take a leave then."

Mr. Wen didn't reply as he stood up and went upstairs. Wen Zac went to Lu Lijun.

"I apologize for my father's...."

"You don't need to. His reaction is right," said Lu Lijun.

"I'm glad you understand."

"It's nothing in front of the mistake I made," said Lu Lijun.

Wen Zac agreed with it, but there was no meaning in dragging the things that had already happened. He loved his sister, but his way of showing his love was different from his father. His father was short-tempered and overprotective, while he was calm and sensible.

"I'll take a leave." Lu Lijun turned to leave.

"Lu Lijun," Wen Zac called.

Lu Lijun turned to look at him.

"Liwei is not upset with you, but she needs some time," Wen Zac said.

"I'll wait for her to be ready." Lu Lijun left and went straight to Lu Corporation.

Jiang Residence...

Early in the morning, Jiang Yuyan stood in the gallery of her room while feeling the light and cold breeze passing across her.

Just as she felt relaxed as in the old days when she used to live here, the next moment, the scene from that rainy night flashed in front of her eyes when she and Lu Lijun were in the gazebo. His words continue to ring in her ears.

In shock, she stepped back from the gallery's railing and opened her eyes in shock as she didn't mean to think about it. It made her heart beat faster, and she felt scared and anxious.

"What happened?" She heard the voice of her brother and tried to calm herself down, not daring to turn and look at him.

Though she stood facing her back to him, Jiang Yang sensed something was not right with her as he saw her step back in shock and breathe heavily.

He stood beside her. "Are you okay?"

She nodded lightly, and Jiang Yang saw beads of sweat on Jiang Yuyan's forehead.

He put a hand on her forehead to check the fever. "It looks normal. Come sit here." Jiang Yang took her to a chair in the gallery.
