Soon the meeting started where Ming Rusheng explained about the design part of the project to be done.

The Lu's and Wen's were in the construction part of the project, which they had to plan together complying with the design made by Mings.

The other companies who handled a few other things explained their part, while a few were just to get the project details as they were the investors.

From the Lus, Lu Lijun explained everything while from Wen's side Wen Zac did the work.

Everything was running in sync, that all were happy with the progress of the project.

When the meeting was over, and all headed to leave the hall, Wen Zac came to Jiang Yuyan to bid her farewell just like others.

They talked about the next meeting they would have in Wen's office.

"See you tomorrow," said Wen Zac, and Jiang Yuyan nodded, smiling lightly.

Lu Lijun was fine with everything but this one man. He didn't know what to think and why he felt annoyed.

Lu Lijun could even manage seeing Lu Lian with Ming Rusheng though he didn't like it but couldn't handle seeing how Wen Zac talked and smiled at Jiang Yuyan.

Everyone sat in their cars to leave. Jiang Yuyan went to her car with Xiao Min while Lu Lijun, who looked as if someone stole his precious thing, went to his car with Noah.

As they both sat on the back passenger seat and the car left, Noah asked, "What happened?"

Lu Lijun sat silently while looking outside the car window, replied, "Nothing."

"But it doesn't look like it's nothing," Noah insisted.

Closing his eyes and resting his head back, Lu Lijun replied, "Just tired."

"Hmm," Noah sighed a little and spoke, "Today, Mr. Ming and Mr. Wen both were so impressive."

Lu Lijun opened his eyes and glared at Noah. The two names Noah took were the ones Lu Lijun didn't wish to hear.

Noah could sense the annoyance in his friend, "Of course, one more man was very impressive and that's my friend, but I'm used to seeing how awesome you are so…."

"You don't have to praise me. You better try this on Jake. I'm sure you will get a nice reward," Lu Lijun countered.

"I don't need to say this to him. That jerk is full of himself and must say it to himself daily that how awesome he is," Noah countered.

"Are you jealous?"

"Why would I?"

"Or you just miss him?" Lu Lijun asked.

Noah sighed, "How do you always manage to turn the topic like this?"

"When you know someone's weakness, you should use it," Lu Lijun smiled lightly, but the next moment the smile on his lips disappeared with what Noah said.

"Don't be delusional to think I can't get to know your weakness."

"I have none," Lu Lijun said coldly and closed his eyes.

"Who was the one sulking a while ago?" Noah mumbled, and Lu Lijun acted as if he didn't hear it.

After returning to the office, they got busy with work as Lu Lijun went to Jiang Yuyan's office.

Jiang Yuyan picked up one file from her table and gave it to Xiao Min.

"This is what Mr. Wen asked us for," she informed.

I'll send it to them," Xiao Min replied.

"Have you prepared for tomorrow's meeting at Wen's?" Jiang Yuyan asked.

"Yes, but a few things are there. I asked them, so Mr. Wen will call the boss soon," Xiao Min informed.

Lu Lijun, who sat silently, felt like suddenly why he was hearing that man's name again and again or is it just that he noticed now.

Lu Lijun started to feel annoyed as he remembered how Jiang Yuyan talked to him, and she even smiled lightly, looking at him.

He looked at Jiang Yuyan, and all he could see was the cold and busy woman. He saw her smiling sometimes before, but it was never for him.

Just then, there was a call for Jiang Yuyan. Just as she talked, it is evident that the call was from Mr. Wen.

It was the limit for Lu Lijun, and he stood up. Jiang Yuyan looked at him while talking on call but didn't look bothered with why he stood up. Not saying a word, Lu Lijun left.

The next day Jiang Yuyan went to Wen's for the meeting along with Xiao Min while Lu Lijun had to handle other things.

Lu Lijun was busy working, but his sight was fixed on time.

"Why are you checking the time again and again?" Noah asked.

"Waiting for when this work would be over, and you will leave my side," Lu Lijun replied as he focused on his work.

"That time won't come as my boss has made sure to keep us busy till eternity," Noah replied as he looked at the stack of files on the table.

Lunchtime arrived, and Lu Lijun and Noah stepped out of the office.

The receptionist came to them, "Fourth Young master, lunch…."

"We are going out," Lu Lijun replied as he looked at the President's office, "Is president Lu back?" he asked, and Noah smiled teasingly.

"Not yet. President Lu would be back after lunchtime," she informed.

Just as the two entered the elevator, Noah asked, "Were you planning to invite president Lu for lunch with us?"

"I like it less crowded," Lu Lijun replied.

Noah stayed silent for a while, but his mind would never stop thinking about something naughty, "If you wish to, then Wen's office is nearby. We can…"

The elevator door opened, and Lu Lijun stepped out even before Noah could complete his lines.

The two reached one famous restaurant that Noah suggested.

"It's your birthday soon. Do you have any plans with family, or we can celebrate in our way?" Noah asked while enjoying the food.

"I have a plan," Lu Lijun replied.

"What? am I invited?"

"No," Lu Lijun replied and Noah sighed.

"I'm going somewhere?" Lu Lijun added before Noah could draw any conclusions.

"Must be something really important," Noah concluded.

Lu Lijun nodded, "Hmm."

Noah didn't ask anything further.

Just as they finished Lunch and reached outside to get into the car, Lu Lijun and Noah saw familiar figures coming out from the hotel that was on the other side of the road.

That was Jiang Yuyan and Wen Zac, along with their assistants.

That calm Lu Lijun looked colder as he sat inside his car and closed the door angrily. Noah looked the view ahead and saw Jiang Yuyan shaking hands with Wen Zac and sitting inside her car as she said something while smiling lightly.

It looked like whatever they talked about, it went well, and everyone looked happy.

Noah sat inside the car as he drove away, through the corner of his eyes, taking note of the angry man beside him, but he couldn't ask what happened.

Asking anything meant making him angrier, so it was good to leave him alone.

They reached the office. Lu Lijun saw Jiang Yuyan getting out of her car but didn't bother with it and left to go inside the building.

Noah bowed to Jiang Yuyan and followed Lu Lijun.

Xiao Min observed how Lu Lijun looked and spoke, "Did something happen with the fourth young master?"

"He is not the kid for you to worry about him. Let him deal with his problems," came the reply from his boss, which didn't surprise Xiao Min.
