Chapter 1261 - Blind Date
The next morning Jiang Yuyan woke up and stepped out of the bed quietly, seeing Lu Lijun was still sleeping. Not making any sound she strode towards the door while Lu Lijun opened his eyes and saw her going away.
His eyes looked still like water as if they had no emotions in them but underneath there was much more that he was trying to control. He turned to face the ceiling and closed his eyes again.
'How much I try, she only tries to run away from me. She is ready to meet another man but doesn't want to accept me," he sighed and moved his hand through his hair feeling frustrated about it. He opened his eyes that showed the determination in them, 'Whatever she tries, I will leave her no choice but to come to me. She needs to understand, she is mine and has been mine since the start.
Jiang Yuyan got ready to go downstairs for breakfast but she then turned towards Lu Lijun's room. She didn't want to but it was her home and she was worried if he won't eat anything again.
She knocked on the door and saw Lu Lijun was standing by the window silently as his hands tucked in his pajama's pockets. It gave her a feeling of calmness before the storm.
Lu Lijun sensed her presence and looked at her.
She got back to her senses and said, "You are awake? I will ask to send breakfast for you."
He didn't reply and resumed staring outside.
Jiang Yuyan left and sat at the breakfast table, "Send his breakfast to his room."
The butler nodded and did so. After a while, the servant returned from Lu Lijun's room with untouched food and informed, "Fourth Young master said he is not hungry."
Jiang Yuyan frowned and stood up, "Bring my breakfast too."
The servant followed her and Jiang Yuyan entered Lu Lijun's room. She said nothing to Lu Lijun and asked the servant to arrange the breakfast on the coffee table.
Jiang Yuyan sat in one chair and said, "Come have breakfast. You need to take medicine later."
Lu Lijun quietly sat in the chair and started to eat. After a while, he said, "You are returning1 early today." It was more like an order from him.
"Once I finish my work," she replied, not willing to argue.
"Finish it on time then," he said coldly, his tone was domineering.
Jiang Yuyan looked at him, who was busy eating and didn't even look at her. This cold Lu Lijun was scary and the one to be wary of rather than the one who troubled her all the time with his bold attitude. It worried her as she couldn't see through him.
'What's going on in his mind,' just as she thought it, he looked at her, "You didn't reply."
Jiang Yuyan was startled by how he suddenly caught her looking at him and how cold and scary his pitch-black eyes looked. She gulped down the food in her mouth and replied, "I'll try."
"Good!" was what he said and resumed eating.
Suddenly Jiang Yuyan realized she was complying with his demands and it happened on its own. Was she scared of this side of him or was she just habitual to listen to any of his demands?
'He is sick. Let's bear it till he gets better,' she thought and resumed eating.
Giving him medicines and a few instructions she left.
Lu Lijun listened to what she said and followed it as she had agreed to what he had asked.
------
In the evening Jiang Yuya had finished her work exactly by the office time and her cellphone rang. Her mother's name flashed on the screen.
She received the call and heard her mother, "You didn't forget you are meeting Mr. Choi's son today."
"I remember it, mother," Jiang assured and hung up the call after listening to the instruction of her mother.
Xiao Min entered the office and handed over one file to Jiang Yuyan.
Jiang Yuyab accepted it and was ready to leave as she held that file in her hands.
"Boss, are you sure you are meeting Mr. Choi?" Xiao Min asked, not having a good feeling about it.
"Hmm," Jiang Yuyan nodded, "It's time to leave."
"But boss…"
Jiang Yuyan glared at him, "Do you have any issue with that?"
Xiao Min immediately lowered his gaze, "No, boss. The dress is…."
"What's wrong with my dress. This is what I wear daily," she countered.
"My bad," Xiao Min said as he thought, 'Which woman goes on a blind date looking like a lady boss wearing office clothes and holding a file in her hand as if she was going to attend a business meeting?'
Jiang Yuyan left the office as Xiao Min followed her.
-------
Jiang Yuyan and Xiao Min reached the nearby luxurious hotel restaurant where one private room was booked for her. She was not an ordinary person to meet someone when everyone was staring so her meetings were always held in private rooms and this was the blind date she was attending. If this news broke out, it would be the top headline and Jiang Yuyan didn't want it.
They reached a room where one man wearing a suit was waiting for them. "Good evening, President Lu," he greeted and led Jiang Yuyan's way inside while Xiao Min stood out as that man came out to accompany Xiao Min. He was the assistant of Mr. Choi.
Inside the private room…
A tall man wearing a black custom-made expensive suit was sitting in the chair around the dining table as she was looking into his phone. He looked at the woman entering the room in her office attire and holding a file and for a moment couldn't take his eyes off of her.
Standing in front of him, across the dining table, she greeted, "Mr. Choi…"
The man stood up and shook hands with her as she said, "Alex. Call me Alex as I am not used to getting called as Mr. Choi."
Jiang Yuyan smiled, agreeing to it, and heard him say, "Please have a seat."
The two talked for a while and came out after having coffee. Outside Xiao Min was anxious inside as he still couldn't believe his boss would agree to meet someone. The moment he saw Jiang Yuyan and Alex coming out together, he saw the person she had agreed for the blind dare was indeed one impressive man.
Xiao Min had seen Alex in the pictures but had never seen a person. That tall, handsome and elegant man looked compatible with his boss.
'No wonder families have chosen him for the boss. Not just his achievements but in person, he is a perfect match for her.' Xiao Min thought though he was still reluctant to the idea of his boss agreeing to see someone.
"I hope you had a good time though it was for short," the man said, as he looked at the king of all the gentlemen out there. He was polite and knew to maintain a distance and his eyes carried respect for the woman in front of him.
Jiang Yuyan nodded and looked at her wristwatch, "I have to take a leave then."
The man agreed and they both left on their own way with their assistants following them.
----
"Boss, how did it go?" Xiao Min asked.
"It was fine," she answered in a hurry and looked at her wristwatch again, "Get the car fast," and she strode towards the exit.
"What happened, boss?" Xiao Min caught up to her.
"It's late," she said and Xiao Min looked at his wristwatch.
'Late? How come it's late?' Xiao Min thought and quietly followed her.
Jiang Yuyan sat inside the car and instructed the driver, "Hurry up."
Even the driver was startled but he did what his boss asked for.
All the way to the home, Jiang Yuyan was anxiously checking time and unfortunately caught up in the traffic. It annoyed her even more, ' I told him I'll be back early but it's getting late already.'
Why didn't realize she was getting anxious at nothing. She didn't need to comply with what Lu Lijun said but she couldn't help but do what he had asked her to do.. She had given him words and he must be waiting for her.
