Seeing his wife crying, Lu Jinhai spoke, "No use of crying over it now. It’s true I blame you for this, but I can understand you were equally hurt after Lu Qiang left. Instead, I am the one to blame for everything as I could do nothing, and things continued to happen unknown to me."
"Don’t blame yourself. The conditions were like that, so let’s just forget it," Ning Jiahui suggested.
"We can forget it but not Lu Lijun. Didn’t you see the way he called her his wife and how angry he was when he defended her?"
Ning Jiahui wanted to turn blind eye to it. "After Lu Qiang, Yuyan is the important person for him so he is just being protective just the way he was for Lu Qiang. Don’t you remember what happened to your friend’s son after he said something bad about Lu Qiang and it angered Lu Lijun."
"You take him as a kid that is where you all are mistaking," Lu Jinhai said as he felt worried. The way Lu Lijun reacted was still fresh in his memories.
"What can we do now?" Ning Jiahui asked.
"First, I need to talk to Yuyan," said Lu Jinhai and Ning Jiahui nodded.

When Jiang Yuyan and Lu Lijun reached the school, Jiang Yuyan didn’t step out of the car and informed, "I won’t be here to pick you up. Another car would be here."
"Hmm!" Lu Lijun knew Jiang Yuyan was busy these days and she couldn’t come to pick him.
When Jiang Yuyan was waiting for Lu Lijun to step out of the car, he leaned towards her and pecked on her cheek.
"See you." Saying. he stepped out of the car leaving her puzzled.
Nothing new happened but suddenly Jiang Yuyan felt the way Lu Lijun treated her was different now and she felt uncomfortable. She could have come to pick him up, but she decided to distance herself from him.
Not knowing what she was feeling or thinking, Jiang Yuyan just wanted to get away from there as she felt short for breath suddenly. All these thoughts were making her dizzy.
When they reached the office, Jiang Yuyan didn’t look good.
"Boss, are you fine?" Xiao Min asked.
"Hmm! Just feeling a bit uneasy," Jiang Yuyan replied as she pressed her temples and then undone the top button of her white shirt as she felt suffocated.
Xiao Min was sure she was not well and suggested, "If the boss is not well, boss can rest, and I will handle everything."
"Once I finish this."
After the lunch, Jiang Yuyan went to the lounge for rest and didn’t realize she slept till the office hours were over. She had her medicines after lunch, so she thought it was its effect.
Lu Feng came to the office after office hours. He waited for Jiang Yuyan to wake up and come out of the lounge as Xiao Min accompanied him.
"Are you not well?" Lu Feng asked, seeing her pale face.
"Just tired." Saying, Jiang Yuyan sat on the couch.
"I want to apologize on my mother’s behalf....."
Jiang Yuyan interrupted him. "You don’t need to, Lu Feng. You are making me feel apologetic as you argued with your mother for my sake."
"I was just siding with the right thing to do," Lu Feng countered and asked, "You wanted to talk to me in the morning, so I came here."
"Hmm!" Jiang Yuyan looked lost.
"Is it about Lu Lijun?" Lu Feng asked again though he knew it.
"Hmm!"
"What are you worried about?"
"Nowadays I feel like he has changed."
"He sure did."
"Did you feel it too?"
"Hmm! Now tell me what is going on in your mind."
"I feel pressured with this sudden change in him and sometimes I don’t understand how to approach him. He seems different than how he used to be and it’s making me uncomfortable or worried or something else, I am not able to get it."
"He is growing up Yuyan," Lu Feng commented.
"I know but....." Jiang Yuyan stopped as she didn’t have words to explain it.
"I think we should consult with An Tian," Lu Feng suggested.
"I was thinking to do it a few days back, but because of all this work, I forgot it."
"Let’s do it then. I will inform him"
"Hmm!"

In the Lu Mansion, at the dinner time...
Though everyone was present, the silence surrounded the dining room. No one talked and there was only a sound of the spoons hitting the dishes. Jiang Yuyan didn’t look good these days so Ning Jiahui asked the butler to make the food that she liked.
"Third young mistress, this is for you. Eat well," the butler said as he served the food in Jiang Yuyan’s dish but just then everyone heard something shocking.
"Fourth Young mistress!"
Hearing it, they looked at Lu Lijun. The butler too looked at Lu Lijun thinking he must have heard something wrong.
Not getting the response from the butler, Lu Lijun lifted his face up to look at him, his expressions calm as he was doing the right thing.
"She is the fourth young mistress, butler uncle."
In shock, everyone stopped eating but Lu Lijun looked back at his dish and continued eating. Jiang Yuyan could feel her heart beating faster and about to jump out of her chest.
Lu Feng looked at Jiang Yuyan and signaled her to calm down while others didn’t know what to say,
"Lu Lijun, you should not say it," said Ning Jiahui, her voice calm as she was coaxing a kid.
Not looking at his mother, Lu Lijun spoke, "She is my wife now, so she is the fourth young mistress."
"Don’t think about that marriage, It was just...."
"She is my wife and that is the final decision."
"Lu Lijun!" Ning Jiahui exclaimed but it didn’t affect him.
"Don’t make me repeat, mother."
