Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

The next day Lu Lijun went to the office while Jiang Yuyan had to pack the bags for both of them.

She packed all of her stuff in her bag, from what she had shopped the previous day.

With a satisfactory sigh, she then pulled out the luggage bag for Lu Lijun and decided to pack his stuff. She opened the wardrobe and went through his clothes. She had always seen his side of the wardrobe but today she could see through it calmly. She didn't know why but she was curious to go through his stuff, more like an attempt to know him more.

She looked at his clothes hanging in the wardrobe and some folded properly on shelves, the shirts most of them were in white as his office wears but there were different colours as well. She smiled, she was used to seeing Lu Qiang's all white and black wardrobe.

She touched one shirt and moved closer to sniff it while caressing that soft fabric, 'It smells good. So comforting and warm.'

She then looked the drawers and opened them. In one Drawer she saw various colours ties folded in circles and placed in each compartment neatly, the accessories with suits, various watches-

'Does he like to have a collection of different watches?' She remembered Lu Qiang was the same, 'Both brothers at least love something else too much other than just loving me,' she could not help but giggle pleasantly.

She looked into the other drawer and picked up one of the perfume bottles. She opened its lid and slowly smelled it, 'He sure has a good choice of perfumes. This one is nice. But which one did he use today? The scent was different?' She looked at those various luxury brand perfume bottles and picked up the random one as per her instinct.

She smelled it, 'Right, this is the one.' She had a satisfied smile on her lips as she had achieved something great.

She closed those drawers and looked at the last one. It didn't have any of his daily stuff but a few documents. She pulled out one file and then realized those were his academic documents and his various achievements during all those past ten years when she was not by his side.

She skimmed through the file and once again had that pleasant smile on her lips, 'I always knew he is extraordinarily talented. He was alone here but didn't ignore what he should do. So responsible even from such a young age. How much pain he must have felt, he could control himself and continued to grow into a man better than anyone else.'

Just as she put that file back, at the back most side of the drawer she found something familiar. She had a surprised look on her face.

'Is it exactly what I am thinking?'

She pulled out that red paper scroll and with her shaking hands. She looked at it for a few moments of disbelief and then untied the lace knot on it. She opened that red paper scroll. It was the proof of her and Lu Lijun's wedding from ten years back in that temple.

A surprised gasp left her lips as her mind filled with so many emotions, not recognising a single one of them. She was seeing this scroll after ten years and all the while Lu Lijun had kept it hidden.

After Lu Lijun confessed to her for the first time,  when she went to search for it in Lu Lijun's old room in the Lu Mansion, he caught her searching for it. At that time too he had it but he didn't give it to her.

'It was for the better that I didn't find it at that time. I might have ripped it at the same moment. He must have known it and didn't let me touch it. He can always guess my actions even before I could even think of doing it.'

She wondered, 'Was it that important to him for all these years when I had forgotten it long back as if it never happened? What if I had ripped it? Would he have been angry at me?'

She then read what was written in that scroll.

Groom Lu Lijun and Bride Jiang Yuyan. It said they were husband and wife with the blessing of heavens and earth. It had the stamp from the temple to seal it.

Sudden warmth spread across her chest as if she had finally realized the importance of this scroll and what it really meant for her when all these years she didn't even think about it. The proof of her and his life's reality which she ignored with all her might.

'Husband and wife.'

She repeated the words in her mind and then realized, 'He has stopped calling me 'wife' after that day when he said he would give up on me and return to England.'

His words echoed in her mind-

I...will..never call you as my wife...I will never force you to accept me...I will be only your late husband's brother and nothing else...'

She wondered, 'Is he still keeping his promise and didn't call me as his wife? But we are together now. I won't mind if he....' she sighed helplessly. 'I am the one at fault.'

Now she realized how good it felt whenever he called her as his wife despite her asking him not to. He was stubborn and forced his way out and didn't give up on her though she kept hurting him again and again.

'I shall make up for hurting him so many times.'

She decided and then started packing his stuff like a responsible wife. 'I should ask him what he would like me to pack.'

She picked up the mobile and dialled his number. He received the call and she heard him, "Already missing me?"

She could not help but smile but controlled it, "I called you to ask if there is anything particular you would like me to pack."

"Just pack light clothes. Few shirts and pants and pack mostly the casual clothes. Rest you decide and pack and if something is left, I'll take care of it," he replied.

"Umm...Okay. You continued working then."

"I have an important meeting going on or I would have talked more," he informed.

"Were you in the meeting? Why did you receive the call? You could have...."

"Correction," he said, "I am still in the meeting."

It shocked her, "Don't tell me you are talking in front of others."

"Can anyone dare stop me?" he asked.

"How can you..." she frowned and hung up the call. "This guy...His work ethics are going down the drain."

Meanwhile in the meeting room. Li Lijun hung up the call after talking in front of others which included his two friends and the staff from the office and Jake's office. There was a wide green on his face after shocking his woman.

Everyone heard him talking on the phone. It was rare that he picked up the call during meetings unless it was about work but now others were shocked while his two friends only smiled at his boldness.

"Okay, continue," Lu Lijun said as he looked at others who behaved like they had seen or heard nothing and continued the meeting.
