Chapter 1458 Preparing For The Vacation
Lu Lijun returned to his room later after spending time with Noah. He found the lights in the room were off and Jiang Yuyan was already sleeping. He slowly closed the door and without making any sound went towards the bed.
He got inside the quilt and moved closer to sleep while hugging her. Just as he was about to back hug her, she turned around to face him and hugged him as she buried her face in his chest. She inhaled deeply and continued sleeping.
"Were you waiting for me?" he asked and hugged her back, realizing that she was not asleep yet.
"Hmm," she agreed and asked, "How is he?"
"Looks fine but you know it's not easy to be fine," he replied.
She nodded lightly against his chest.
He continued to caress her slender back with his hand and heard her, "When are we going on vacation?"
Lu Lijun didn't expect her to ask this but it made him happy. He lowered her head to look at her and with his hand, he held her chin and made her look at him, "I didn't know you were eager for the vacation, even more than me."
"I...It's not that," she tried to explain, "Once we are home..." she stopped but the more she tried to say, the more she struggled with words, "I just...."
"I understand," he replied, "Once Jake is back, I will leave those two to work together in my absence. Might help them as well."
She smiled at it as it was not long then as Jake would be returning in a day or two. She hugged him back burying her face in his chest, "Thank you."
"Are you that happy?" he asked.
She nodded lightly.
"I hope you know the meaning of this vacation," he commented with a teasing smile.
"I know," she whispered against his chest as she herself could not stop smiling, a light blush covering her face.
He gently patted her head, "I am glad to know that you look forward to it."
"It's late. Let's sleep now," she said, still blushing.
Lu Lijun didn't tease her. He closed his eyes while embracing her gently.

The next day at the breakfast table, Jiang Yuyan informed, "I am not coming to the office today."
"Are you sure?" Lu Lijun asked.
"You don't let me do any work anyways so I thought...."
"I sure gave you work during my break time," he said normally as if he said nothing wrong.
Jiang Yuyan's gaze passed across Noah who quietly had his breakfast and acted as if he heard nothing. She glared at Lu Lijun to ask him to keep his words in check.
"What, you didn't like the work. Do you want me to add more to it?" he asked, looking at her as if they were talking about the office work.
She frowned and decided to change the topic, "I am planning to go shopping today."
"Well, that's good," he replied and she felt relieved that he gave up.
After Lu Lijun and Noah left for the office, Jiang Yuyan had nothing to do and she could not go shopping this early. She realized they had an office in the home as well and went there.
Inside the office, she saw the three work table set-ups and understood they were for Lu Lijun and his two friends. She went to one work table which had a bunch of files placed on it.
"So many files," she mumbled and looked into them only to find the familiar name on one file- Victor Magnus.
She felt like the floor under her feet slipped away. She could never forget this particular name but why Lu Lijun was looking for this person so suddenly. Didn't he give up on looking into his brother's accident yet?
She opened the file and it had information about victor Magnus, his family and business and then she found this person was dead recently.
"Dead?" She then found the information of one other person in that file and from the name, she found it familiar as well. It was Magnus's family's elder son who was also a famous businessman and she had heard about him already. "Why is Lu Lijun looking into his Son's information? Everything was buried ten years back. What is he trying to do now?"
Jiang Yuyan put that file down and then dialled Xiao Min's number. She was sure Lu Lijun must have asked Xiao Min's help to get this information.
"Boss...."
"Xiao Min, why is Lu Lijun looking for Victor Magnus and his son?" she asked even before Xiao Min could greet her.
From her anxious voice, Xiao Min understood she had found out.
"Tell me how much he knows anything about Lu Qiang's accident? She asked, "That fifth person.."
"Calm down boss. He is just looking into Victor Magnus's information because his son is trying to spread his business here and looks like he plans to affect our business. Fourth Young Master is just being prepared for it."
"But how did he even reach that name?" she asked.
"When he was in China, he had already instigated enough and was aware of the names. And the person who is trying to affect our business happened to be Victor Magnus's son so it was easy for him to understand that they are trying to get back at us after his father died."
"And...o-other information..."
"I don't think the Fourth Young Master even has that in mind. He is just focussed on that father and son."
"Are you sure? You know you can't let him know that.." she was anxious and her hands were shivering.
"Rest assured boss. We have buried it already and no one would ever know," Xiao Min assured.
"Fine," she said and hung up the call.contemporary romance
Xiao Min who assured his boss, rested back in his chair as he sighed, "One truth I can tell you and the other one I can not tell him. I just pray both of you would never know it or I can not imagine what would happen."
Jiang Yuyan was ready to go out shopping, as she got rid of all the worst thoughts in her mind. 'He will never know. It's fine.' she assured herself again and again.
"I have to prepare for our vacation. I don't have clothes. I need to visit the spa," she mumbled to distract her anxious mind. "I need to make this vacation memorable for both of us. Everything will be fine."
She went out in the car as Carl was there to take her everywhere she wanted to go.
