Hearing what Xiao Min said and how emotional he looked, Shen Li spoke, "Xiao Min, listen to me first."

"This time, you listen to me," Xiao Min raised his voice, and Shen Li stood still to hear him.

"You never loved me, senior. It was I who mistook it. I know my father asked you to do it but did you ever consider me and what I want? Did you ever think about how much I suffered all the time when you turned your back on me? You could have told me everything, and we would have found the way, but you wanted to be a great person who believes in sacrifice without even thinking about what the other person wants or feel. If you have ever loved me, you wouldn't have given up on me ever. The one who loves you would never leave your side whatever it takes, but you proved me delusional. You proved me wrong."

Shen Li could see how hurt Xiao Min was and preferred to hear him out, not interrupting him, though it hurt to see him like this.

Xiao Min ran his hands through hair frustratingly and continued, "It's my life, and who are you to decide what's good for me and not? You just take me for granted, thinking I'll keep coming to you even if you push me away again and again, so you continue to be great. I only wish if you had ever considered my feelings when you took any decision." He mumbled, "Why was I the one being crazy all the time?"

Xiao Min's throat choked, and he stopped as the tears which were waiting to get their way out, finally found the way.

Shen Li went to him, but Xiao Min stepped back as he exclaimed, "Stay away from me."

She Li tried to explain, "I know it's my fault, and I can understand I hurt you but this time…"

"No, you can't understand me. You never can because I never gave up on you. It..it.. hurts to see I don't hold any importance in your life, and my presence or absence doesn't affect you. That's why you can just give up on me so easily."

"I'm sorry," said Shen Li apologetically and stepped towards him to hold him, but Xiao Min shrugged his hands again.

"I don't need your apology, I don't even need you, and I don't need anything. Just leave me alone," Xiao Min turned and stepped towards the door in a hurry.

Holding the handle of the door, he stopped, "From now on, you are just assistant Li for me."

Declaring, Xiao Min left while Shen Li couldn't dare to stop him.

Xiao Min was hurt and emotional, who needed the time, and Shen Li decided to let him go for a while. It was his mistake, so he had to find a way out to get Xiao Min back. He needed to show how important Xiao Min was for him, and it was the time to make him feel loved. It was the time to tell him as much as Xiao Min loved him; he felt the same.

Xiao Min got the cab and left in a hurry while trying his best not to cry over it. He informed in the office that he would be late. Just in time, his cellphone rang, and his mother's name flashed on the screen.

Xiao Min realized his mother would be worried as he didn't go back and cursed himself. Taking a deep breath to calm himself and clear his choked throat to sound normal, Xiao Min received the call.

"Mother…" he spoke.

"Did you reach the office?" His mother asked.

"No. I'm on the way to…."

"You were with Shen Li, so I don't have to worry about if you ate something or not. Make sure to have a good lunch as you drank a lot last night."

"Mother, how did you know where I was?" he asked and thought if his mother got to know Shen Li was the person he was in love with.

"Previous night, you didn't return, so your father called you, but Shen Li picked up the call and informed you were with him."

'Did the father told mother already?' he thought.

"In the evening, I'll cook your favorite things. Come home soon," his mother said and hung up the call.

Everything was fine, but now Xiao Min couldn't go home to change clothes and have a shower. He couldn't even go to the office as everyone would see him in his messed up condition.

In the end, he booked the hotel and went there.

Lu Mansion…

Lu Lijun was silent and didn't talk much with anyone since he heard what his father spoke about. As Jiang Yuyan couldn't come out of her room, he didn't come across her or didn't know how he would behave with her.

When Lu Lijun went to the office, he was again busy with the project, and having Noah beside him was like passing a cold breeze over his buried anger.

"Seems like someone has pressed on your already badly hurting wound," Noah commented as both were busy working in Lu Lijun's office.

"I don't know about mine, but I can make a fresh wound on your body," Lu Lijun commented.

Noah smiled teasingly, "So it seems like I am right."

Ignoring him, Lu Lijun looked around on his work table for something, and Noah asked, "Are you searching for something?"

"Hmm, I suddenly missed Jake, so I wanted to talk to him," Lu Lijun replied.

"What's with you that you are always ready to call him. Do you miss him that much?" Noah asked.

"Not me but you," Lu Lijun countered.

"Bullshit," Noah frowned, "Why would I miss him?"

"Ask yourself," Lu Lijun commented.

"You are so blunt these days. It seems like I need to show you a mirror soon," said Noah.

Lu Lijun looked at him, questioningly, "What do you mean?"

"Ask yourself," came the same reply from Noah.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Yu Fan entered the office.

"Mr. Chairman has asked for the fourth young master."

Lu Lijun nodded and asked, "Is there anything important?"

"Mr. Wen is in the office, and he wished to meet you," Yu Fan informed and left.

"Who is Mr. Wen?" Noah asked.

"Father's friend and the one who is our partner in this project," Lu Lijun replied casually.

Noah thought about something and asked, "Don't tell me he has one pretty and smart daughter."

"Are you interested?" Lu Lijun countered.

"I'm happy with Nicole," Noah spoke, and Lu Lijun gave him a tired look as if saying he had enough of his crap.

Noah continued, "Don't be surprised if you get the marriage proposal from someone soon."

Lu Lijun stood up to go and warned, "You should keep your imaginations to think better about yourself," and stepped towards the door.

"It's time for you to make your life better," Noah commented, and Lu Lijun left without replying to him.

Noah looked at his cellphone and checked for if there was any call from someone and cursed, "That asshole. Didn't call even once since he left. Whatever, but he better not expect to get the call from me too."

Jake called Lu Lijun, but he never called Noah. Whatever they talked about a few times was when Noah was around Lu Lijun when Jake called him.

In Lu Jinhai's office…

Lu Lijun entered the Chairman's office, where Lu Jinahi and Mr. Wen sat on the couch.

Both smiled, seeing him and Lu Jinhai instructed, "Have a seat."

Lu Lijun did so, and Mr. Wen spoke, "My son praised you the way you are working on the project. So, efficient at such a young age."

Lu Lijun didn't know how to react and kept silent as he just looked at his father.

"If Mr. Wen praised my son, that means he is doing really good," Lu Jinhai added.

"It's after when we saw the progress and ideas on the project. I think soon he would be ready to get his brother's position," said Mr. Wen.

Lu Lijun didn't like it while Lu Jinhai laughed it out, "Not yet as he is yet to learn so many things."

"Sure, but I know he won't take much time. I would be waiting to see him leading the company," Mr. Wen said.

"Current President is doing really well, and I'll prefer to learn from her. I'm not in a hurry," finally; Lu Lijun spoke as he didn't like the fact the man didn't say a word about Jiang Yuyan as president but was in a hurry to make Lu Lijun one.

Mr. Wen realized his mistake, "Of course, the current president is extraordinary, and you will be even better after learning from her. We all are amazed to see the way she worked all these years."

Lu Jinhai understood what his son didn't like. He was on his son's side, too and looked at Mr. Wen. "She is the reason that Lu Corporation is still holding this strong. If not for her, it would have been someone else's hand."

Mr. Wen nodded, "True that. She is one amazing woman."

Just as everything normalized and Lu Lijun was calm, Mr. Wen said again as he looked at his friend, "Till how long are you going to keep her alone? You should be responsible for her and find a nice guy."

Lu Lijun almost killed the man with his killer gaze but kept quiet.

Lu Jinhai agreed to it, "We are thinking about it."

"If you don't mind, I would like to suggest someone," said the man.

"Sure, but only if Yuyan approves of him. Who is the guy?"

"My son," Mr. Wen replied.
