Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Chapter 1325 Don't Blame Her

Lu Lijun knocked at the door and entered the room of his mother. Ning Jiahui was sitting in the chair who was silent and only looked at her son. She knew he must have something to talk about and gestured to him to sit on the couch.

Lu Lijun went to her and instead of sitting on the couch he kneeled in front of his sitting mother and held her hand gently. "Mother!"

It surprised her and she felt heavy in her heart at the same time. It was the first time he acted like this and called her mother with such affection. He never came to her then whatever issue he had in his life, not even when he was a kid as if she was not the one to give him birth. Given his situation in the past, she was fine with everything as long as he was fine. Now he was grown up, she expected a lot from him as her only son.

But she wondered if she had a right to even expect anything from him.

Her eyes turned moist as she held his hand back.

"Mother, I am sorry for keeping you worried because of me," he said.

"I just wish you to be happy and stay with the family. Nothing more I want," she replied as she caressed his hands gently.

"I will, mother. I will do whatever you wish for me to. I just need a little time. I won't be away for long. I will be back and will never leave you," he assured.

"I understand. Take your time," she said as tears rolled down her eyes. Mother inside her didn't want her son to go away from her again.

He wiped her tears, "Thank you for understanding me and always being a good mother to me."

She said nothing as she felt choked and only nodded.

"Mother!" he said again.

"Hmm?"

"I believe you won't blame her for anything. It's not because of her but because of me only. I am at fault," he said.

"You think I will blame her?" she asked in her crying voice.

"I know you won't but just saying."

"She has done nothing wrong that I will blame her. What she has done for our family, I don't even have a right to do so. She is as important as you are to me."

His mother's words assured him and he said, "Take care of yourself. I will make sure to call you often."

"Hmm," she nodded and felt like suddenly her son was finally a grown-up man who would understand his responsibilities. "Take care."

Lu Lijun left his mother's room to go back to his room when on the first floor he came across Jiang Yuyan who was going upstairs after meeting the elders who were worried for her.

Their gazes met but both didn't know what to say. Jiang Yuyan continued to walk while Lu Lijun followed her quietly as both had to go upstairs to their rooms.

Not saying a single word, both reached upstairs. Lu Lijun stopped at his room's door while Jiang Yuyan stepped ahead to go to her room but she stopped and turned to look at him.

Lu Lijun, who just opened his room door, stopped as he sensed her turning around and looking at him. With his heart beating faster at what she would say, he looked at her.

"You don't need to leave…."

"I need some time," he said, "But I'll be back soon," he assured.

She nodded, "Take care."

He nodded and she turned around to leave while he entered his room. He closed the door and inhaled deeply to calm himself down. Things he had in mind won't go away this soon or maybe they will never go away and he could only try to hide them. His love for her will always be there. He was sure of that and he had to get used to keeping it hidden from her and act as if he felt nothing.

It was time for him to let her go.

After going home from the office, Noah also had to go home to pack his bags so he could leave with Lu Lijun. The flight was late in the night so he had enough time to pack. After dinner, he felt like he needed something to drink and realized that there was no beer can in the refrigerator. After Lu Lijun emptied his bottle of wine, Noah didn't bring anything home in worry that Lu Lijun might do it again and even threw the leftover bottles from his home.

"I need to go to buy some," he mumbled to himself and went downstairs. After buying a few beer cans, he was walking back from the supermarket. Just in front of the gate of his building, a car stopped next to him.

Noah turned to look at it and the window of the car rolled down. "Hey, handsome!" A young woman said as she smiled brightly looking at him.

Noah smiled back, "Hey, chloe!"

"Ah, so you still remember me," she commented and stepped out of the car.

Noah continued that smile and said politely, "Of course, I do."

"Well, good to know," she said and looked at the apartment, "So you live here?"

He nodded so she asked, "Won't you invite me home then?"

He scratched the side of his forehead and pressed his lips together, "Ah, not today. Sometimes I have a flight to catch."

"I see beer bottles. I am sure you are planning to empty them before you leave. I can accompany you," she insisted and looked at his hesitant face.

"Well, you can take it," he said, offering her the stuff in his hand.

She chuckled lightly, "I understand you don't want to invite me. Never mind. We can meet once you return."

Noah nodded hesitantly and was ready to say bye to her. She stepped forward and hugged him, "Good-Bye, Noah."

Noah was about to say bye but his gaze noticed the cab stopped in front and a familiar man stepped out of it who saw him like that. It surprised Noah to see him that he forgot one woman was hugging him. Just then she moved back and pecked on his cheek, "Have a safe journey."

It brought him back to his senses and looked back at her not knowing what to do while the other man only looked at him as his cab left after dropping him there.

"Go safe," Noah told her and hurried to make her sit back in her car. She did so and left while Noah stepped towards the other man who sighed and started to walk away from there.

"Jake!" Noah called and ran towards him to stop him and held his hand, "Where are you going?"

Jake shrugged his hand, "Sorry for disturbing your good time."

"It's not what you think," Noah said and walked after him.

"I am not blind, Noah and it's not like I don't know you at all," Jake said and continued walking.

Noah walked past him and blocked him home, "Come home first. He looked around and said, "You are coming from the airport, right? Let's go home."

Before Jake could say a word, Noah grabbed his hand and pulled him along with him, "I won't take no for an answer. Let's talk inside the house."

Jake quietly followed him.
