"You are free to think what you want," She commented, trying to control her anger, which resulted from the pain she felt.

Lu Lijun didn't wish to stop as he was determined to take everything out.

"I know all these years, President Lu was burdened with this responsibility," Lu Lijun pointed at himself, "Now this responsibility is back and can lessen that burden from President Lu," His words bitter with every passing moment.

"If you are done, you can leave," she said.

Jiang Yuyan realized the increasing pain and understood she wouldn't be able to handle it. She had to send him out soon.

It angered him when she didn't want to deny what he said. He expected her to say that he was not just a responsibility, but she really cares for him.

"Leave?" He stood up, "Now you don't even want me to say it aloud that I was nothing but the burden of your life that my elder brother left for you. As I'm back, you think you can be free from everything."

Jiang Yuyan shut her eyes tightly and inhaled deeply. Clenching her fists, she stood up, and the next moment she burst out as she looked at him coldly.

"You are right. You are nothing but the burden of my life that I want to get rid of right away. All these years, I put up with it but not anymore. So do what I said, and let me get rid of you."

If she was fine, she wouldn't have said it. But at this moment, all she wanted was Lu Lijun to go away so he wouldn't see her in pain. She was afraid she would give up any moment.

What she said angered Lu Lijun even more that he failed to see the sudden change in her. To him, she just looked angry at him with the desperation to leave everything behind and move away.

Lu Lijun stepped towards her as his eyes filled with anger, "Do you think I'm the same kid who would listen to you? After what you did to me, do you think I would ever want you to be free and live your life?"

She stared at him, bearing the pain inside as her fists clenched even tighter, her moist eyes searching the hope that he would leave soon.

Lu Lijun stopped two steps away from her, facing her as his cold, dark, angry eyes stared into her red and watery ones.

Gritting his teeth, Lu Lijun declared, "President Lu, let me tell you one thing. From this moment onward, I'll do everything opposite to what you want me to do. I would never do what you want, and you would never be free. You have to be here always, handling this burden named Lu Lijun, till the end of your life. I would never let you go and live your life."

His voice cold, and he looked resentful towards her. He waited for what she would say, but the next moment he heard her ordering him loudly.

"Leave... Leave right away."

"Asking me to leave and sending me away is what you can do best," Lu Lijun said and turned to leave.

The moment Lu Lijun stepped out of the room, Jiang Yuyan sat in the chair as the tears rolled down her eyes and she clenched her chest. She wanted to scream in pain, but no voice came out of her throat.

The moment Lu Lijun stepped outside, Xiao Min, who waited outside of the door feeling worried about his Boss, entered the office. Seeing Jiang Yuyan in pain, he went to her.

"Boss…."

She looked in pain, and it was not the first time he saw her like this. Sensing the situation, Xiao Min hurried towards the work table, where he pressed one button to lock the office door.

The next moment, he called the receptionist, "Boss is not available for any meeting. No one should come to the office."

After seeing angry Lu Lijun coming out of the President's office, the receptionists could guess something must have happened.

"Boss, should rest. Let's go inside."

Jiang Yuyan couldn't say no to it, and she stood up as Xiao Min helped her by holding her hand.

With slow steps, she walked towards the lounge as Xiao Min held her hand to support her.

"I'll call the doctor," Xiao Min said.

"Doctor... can't...do anything…" She said it with much effort, and Xiao Min also knew there was no use in calling the doctor.

In such a condition, Xiao Min couldn't even take her out of the office, and Jiang Yuyan would never want the doctor to come there.

Xiao Min took her inside the lounge, where he helped her to get on the bed. He opened the drawer of the bedside table and pulled out the box of medicines.

Just as he offered her two tablets after keeping the glass of water on the table, Jiang Yuyan's sight followed the medicine bottle in his hand whish lid was open, and she grabbed it.

"Boss…."

"Two wouldn't be enough," saying she got two more tablets and put all four in the mouth.

"Spit it out," Xiao Min ordered.

Jiang Yuyan crushed the tablets with her teeth before Xiao Min could force her to spit them. There was no chance he would let her swallow and allow her to drink water.

She kept crushing the tablets and swallowed just like that. She looked at angry Xiao Min, "I had four before. Nothing happened."

He pinched the nose bridge and exhaled out in frustration as he moved his hand through his hair.

"Don't pull your hair, just pass me the water; these medicines aren't sweet," she said. Though she was in pain, she tried to ease his anger.

Not saying anything, Xiao Min passed her water, and she had it. He looked really angry that he didn't even look at her.

He grabbed the quilt, and Jiang Yuyan knew what she had to do. She lay in the bed as he helped her and covered her with the quilt, which he always did.

She looked at him, but he didn't spare her a glance.

Trying to bear with the pain, she spoke again, "Doctor said, I can take four if it's too much."

Xiao Min didn't wish to talk to her, but she was in pain, so he couldn't do so. Worrying about her was more prominent than in his anger.

He looked at her, "Forget him already, will you?"

His face serious, and his pitch higher than the usual one. It was the order from him, coated with the worry for her. At this moment, he was not her assistant but someone who genuinely cared for her.

Jiang Yuyan didn't reply to him and closed her eyes. Xiao Min's eyes turned teary and left to go out of the lounge. He never talked to her like that in high pitch whatever she did and annoyed him, but this time he couldn't control it.

Inside the lounge, Jiang Yuyan continued dealing with the pain, expecting it to get away soon.

Meanwhile, Xiao Min called the doctor to inform it, and he decided to have a routine check-up of Jiang Yuyan the same day even if she said no. He was determined to force her this time.
