Chapter 946 Broken Up With Him...

What Mr. Wen said surprised Lu Jinhai and Lu Lijun, and they felt lost for the words. Lu Lijun regretted even coming to see this person and almost clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Mr. Wen continued, "My son was busy with the business that he always avoided meeting someone, so marriage was far from it. He and president Lu are of the same age, and no doubt she is a fine lady as she has been in the Lu family since long."

Lu Jinhai was speechless over it as it was totally unexpected. Lu Lijun didn't like it at all but didn't know what to say.

Why should I bother with it. Her life doesn't concern me?' He thought, but he couldn't control the anxiousness he felt each time there was a topic of her marrying someone.

'Is it like I am worried about if she marries the wrong person? Did I really care for her that much?' He continued thinking.

"I need to discuss it with others," said Lu Jinhai. 

This thing didn't mean deciding on his own, and Lu Jinhai needed to get others' opinions, especially what Jiang Yuyan wanted.

Mr. Wen agreed, "We are not in a hurry. This thought was in my mind for a long, but I didn't mention it as Lu Lijun was yet to be back, and Lu Corporation needed her more. But. I think raising this topic shouldn't be a problem now. I will wait for your answer."

Before Lu Jinhai could say anything, Lu Lijun stood up, "I have work to do."

"You can leave," Lu Jinhai permitted him, and he left.

Mr. Wen looked at the closed door of the office when Lu Lijun left and spoke, "I had one more plan in mind."

"And what's that?" Lu Jinhai asked.

"I liked Lu Lijun for my daughter," Mr. Wen replied. 

Lu Jinhai smiled awkwardly. He knew Mr. Wen and his family were good people but bringing these things suddenly was like a little shock for him. Especially when it concerned his children's life, he needed to be careful about what they wished for. 

"He is still so young to think about it, and he needs to focus on business first," said Lu Jinhai.

"My daughter is young too, and I don't wish to marry her off so soon, but we can at least make them meet, and if they liked each other, only then can we proceed for the things in future. It's not like we are going to force the kids," Mr. We added.

"Hmm, let's see. All of this is so sudden, and Lu Lijun is back just now. We can discuss it later," said Lu Jinhai. He couldn't say no to Mr. Wen directly as he was Lu Jinhai's one good friend and nice person, so he didn't wish to turn him down immediately. 

Knowing Lu Lijun and Jiang Yuyan for all these years, he was sure it would be difficult to bring this up to them both, and the two agreeing to it was like the eighth wonder of the world.

Lu Lijun returned to his office, where Noah was still working. Seeing the red face of the cold guy, Noah asked, "Who pissed you off now?"

"That….Nothing…." Lu Lijun stopped as he was not sure why he was so pissed off.

"Was I right about the man offering his daughter for you?" Noah asked teasingly. 

"Focus on your work, or I'll kick you out of my office," Lu Lijun warned. 

Noah could see Lu Lijun was unusually angry and stopped teasing him. He was sure something must have happened to anger him.

Lu Lijun focused on the laptop screen as he searched for someone. 

Noah stood up from his chair, holding one file, and started to walk while thinking about the content inside it and mumbled, "It needs some changes."

The idea clicked in his mind, and he went to Lu Lijun's side to show him something and said, "We can make these changes," but Lu Lijun was focused on reading and observing something on his laptop screen.

"Who is this handsome man?" Noah asked as he leaned down, resting his hands on the table beside Lu Lijun.

"The one who is working with us on the project," Lu Lijun replied.

"That's why I thought why this man looks so familiar," Noah commented, looking at the screen. Smiling teasingly, he asked, "Don't tell me, Mr. Wen offered you his handsome son instead of a pretty daughter."

"I suggested your name as a probable match for his son," Lu Lijun countered.

Noah looked at the handsome man on the laptop screen and spoke, "Seeing these older men, I feel like we are so young. Look at him, and our elder brothers- so handsome and charismatic," Said Noah, and Lu Lijun couldn't deny it.

Noah continued, "Brother Feng, brother Tian, Brother Yang, they all are doing so great, and I'm waiting to get to that age when I would be like them. Even this Mr. Wen. Why are we still so young?"

Lu Lijun was silent, which meant he agreed to Noah's words but didn't wish to accept it.

"I think more than me; you wish to be older. Am I right?" Noah asked, underneath lay the meaning that Lu Lijun didn't wish to understand.

Lu Lijun frowned, "Go back to your work."

Noah sat in his chair, "By the way, for whom Mr. Wen's son's proposal came? Sister Lian?"

"President Lu," replying coldly, Lu Lijun focused on his work as he picked up one pen to write something in the file.

Noah got a little shock, but it was time to test his friend, so he said, "Not bad. President Lu and Mr. Wen's son will look good together."

CRACK!!

The next moment the pen in Lu Lijun's hands broke into two, and Noah got his answer. 

Though Lu Lijun looked focused on the work and no change in his expressions, this was enough for Noah to understand his friend. 

"What do you think, Lijun?" Noah asked again.

"Get out," Lu Lijun said coldly.

Noah understood he pissed off his friend for real, but it was needed. 

"Okay-Okay, I'll focus on my work," said Noah and kept quiet. 

Lu Lijun looked calm, and his eyes focused on the file, but there were darkness and restlessness in them and not a single thing in the file he could focus on or understand.

Xioa Min's house…

Just before dinner time, there was a guest in the home. Xiao Min was in his room when he heard his mother welcoming someone happily.

"Welcome, son. Glad to see you here after so long."

Xiao Min felt curious to know who that was and came out of the room only to see Shen Li talking to his mother downstairs in the living room. 

His father, Xiao Dong came out. He, too, welcomed Shen Li and looked like his father had no problem with him.

'Whatever! I have nothing to do with him,' thought Xiao Min as he returned to his room only to bury himself in the work so he can distract his attention.

Shen Li sat on the couch. His sight wandered towards the staircase and Xiao Min's room upstairs, but the guy was nowhere to be seen. 

Expecting to see the upset guy soon, Shen Li continued talking with Xiao Min's parents. 

Though Xiao Dong has accepted his son's feelings for Shen Li, he didn't let it show. Shen Li and Xiao Dong both acted normally as if nothing happened.

Shen Li was conflicted over Xiao Dong must hate him after he decided not to listen to him and made himself clear, but he couldn't run away this time. Shen Li didn't know Xiao Dong had accepted him, so he continued being cautious around him. 

"Xiao Min doesn't know I have invited you. If he knew you were here, he would come here running," said the lady, Mrs. Xiao.

Shen Li doubted Xiao Min would run to him now, but he just wished to see him. 

"I'll call him," said Xiao Dong and went upstairs. 

Xiao Min was busy working on the laptop when Xiao Dong knocked on the door and entered the room.

"Your mother has invited Shen Li for dinner. It would be best if you came downstairs," Xiao Dong informed and waited for his son to reply. 

"Father, I have broken up with him, and doing this would only give him false hope, so I won't…."

"Are you sure about what you are doing?" Xiao Dong asked, interrupting his son.

"Isn't it what father always wished for?" Xiao Min countered. He looked calm but inside, all these things hurt him. 

Xiao Dong agreed, "Hmm, but it was out of the concern for you and your career that you worked hard for. I won't say I was wrong, but I won't say I was right either. It's still difficult to accept it, but I'll try my best."

"There wouldn't be any need for that," said Xiao Min, and before his father could say anything, he asked, "Did you tell mother that the person I talked about is Senior?"

"No, I didn't as you should be the one to tell her. She invited him because he took care of last night, and he hasn't visited home for so many years," Xiao Dong informed.

"Hmm!" Xiao Min continued sitting silently, not knowing how to explain it to his mother.

"You can decide what you feel right, but for now, let's go for dinner. Your mother is waiting," Xiao Dong instructed.

Dear readers, finally I met my family after one long year and celebrating the festival with them. Still, I am doing my best to write daily and write longer chapters. The story would be slow as so many characters are there to cover simultaneously and It will take a little time to reach the starting two chapters of the novel so be patient.
