These are the two chapters together.

The following day Jiang Yuyan woke up and saw Xiao Min sitting on the couch and fell asleep there. She frowned and sat in the bed.
Xiao Min, a light sleeper, sensed the movent and opened his eyes only to see his boss awake.
He stood up imdiately, straightening up his shirt, "Morning, boss."
"Do you find that couch more comfortable than your bed?" Jiang Yuyan asked.
"It’s not uncomfortable either," Xiao Min replied and asked, "How is boss feeling?"
"Still alive," she replied and moved her sight from Xiao Min to the couch and then stared back at him, "Do you intend to sleep more?"
Realizing what she ant, Xiao Min bowed to her and left the room.
Jiang Yuyan looked at her hand, where An Tian injected her with dicine. There was a tiny red spot, and it hurt but was nothing compared to the pain she felt the previous night.
She searched for her mobile, but it was not there. She looked for a tablet, or even her laptop was not there.
She felt suspicious and then turned on the Television. She was sure it must be Xiao Min’s doing, and he was trying to hide sothing from her. When she turned on the Television, it didn’t work.
"This man," she frowned and threw the remote away. Frowning, she went to the bathroom to get ready and then went downstairs.
When she reached the living room, Xiao Min was already present there, ready-to-go office form, and to greet his boss.
She glared at him and put forward her hand.
Xiao Min pulled out one mobile from his jacket and put it in her hand as he comnted, "It would be better if we have breakfast first."
She unlocked her cellphone, "Why? Is there sothing that would kill my appetite?"
Xiao Min didn’t reply, but Jiang Yuyan got the answer.
Looking through the latest hot news, she stepped towards the dining room and sat in the chair.
"Boss, any instructions?" Xiao Min asked.
Jiang Yuyan put the phone aside and asked, "When do I have to leave for France?"
"Tonight," he replied.
"Make it earlier," she instructed.
Xiao Min nodded and asked again, "About this news?"
"Ignore it," she replied and focussed on the food in front of her.
Xiao Min made a few calls and inford, "Boss, we would be leaving at early noon."
"Only , not you," she countered.
"But..."
"You need to handle work here in my sudden absence," she added.
Xiao Min had no option but to obey his boss.
"Is president Lu going sowhere?" soone interfered with them.
Xiao Min stood up to greet the person, "Morning, Mr. An Tian."
Jiang Yuyan didn’t even look while he sat in one chair to accompany them for breakfast.
"After so long, I’m fortunate to be able to have breakfast with President Lu," An Tian comnted, smiling lightly.
Jiang Yuyan chewed on the food, "I rember soone calling by my na the previous night."
"I prefer to handle my patients by being soone close to them," An Tian replied.
"Keep it for soone else," she countered.
An Tian didn’t argue with the cold lady, knowing she didn’t an it.
Once they finished breakfast, Jiang Yuyan and An Tian went out to the garden as An Tian preferred to talk to her in a peaceful and fresh atmosphere.
Xiao Min ca out but stayed back and didn’t join the two to let them talk.
"I am fine. Is it necessary?" Jiang Yuyan asked as they walked into the garden.
"If president Lu doesn’t want, I can’t force," An Tian comnted.
"Sly man," Jiang Yuyan mumbled, and An Tian smiled.
An Tian knew she couldn’t say No because Xiao Min was watching her, and he would not let her go anywhere till he made sure she was fine. At this mont, she had to leave for France and had to bear with this routine check-up.
"So, how are you feeling?" An Tian asked casually, not addressing her as President.
"It’s all fine now."
"What troubled you suddenly?"
"Not sure."
"The kid did or said sothing to hurt you?"
"It’s more like I have been hurting him."
An Tian knew he was in the right direction and asked, "What did he say?"
"Just made realize how much I hurt him."
"Hmm.. and?"
"And I realized nothing matters but him."
"So you have decided to let him do what he wants," An Tian concluded.
"It’s better that way. At least he would be happy."
"Will it solve everything for him?"
Jiang Yuyan looked at him questioningly, and An Tian continued, "Did you ask what he wants to do or why he acts like that?"
"I did, but he never answered."
"As expected," An Tian replied and thought, ’If he had told you, you wouldn’t be so calm like this.’
Jiang Yuyan was aware An Tian understood Lu Lijun well, so she asked, "What should I do for him?"
For a while, An Tian stared at her, not knowing what to say as she was the answer to Lu Lijun’s all questions.
"Hmm...as you planned already, let him do what he wants," A Tian suggested. He couldn’t tell her anything that he felt.
The two talked for a while where An Tian questioned her about few things related to her condition, and she answered what she could.
"You should atop keeping everything inside. It will just suffocate you and make it worse than what you went through last night."
"There is nothing to tell," she answered that An Tian didn’t buy.
"Why don’t you talk to Lu Feng or Your brother," An Tian said.
She stopped walking and looked at An Tian, "Do you wish to stop being my doctor?"
"I just want to help you."
"As I said before, you can’t say anything to anyone. If not for that Xiao Min, even you wouldn’t be here," she warned.
"Then why don’t you share it all with ?" he offered.
"Dream on," she comnted and stepped to go back.
An Tian sighed and looked up at the sky, "My friend, what did you see in her. Did you fall for her stubbornness?"

Lu corporation..
Jiang Yuyan didn’t go to the office, and everyone was inford that she went on the business trip, but soone was unaware of it.
Lu Lijun was busy working but still thinking about why Jiang Yuyan didn’t return ho. He wanted to see her but didn’t want to give up on his ego by going to her office.
Noah ca to his office to work with him as usual, "What troubled my boss again?"
Lu Lijun didn’t look at him, "We had enough work to feel troubled."
Now president Lu is not here, so we have to work even harder," Noah comnted, only to see his friend looking at him in surprise.
"Not here?"
"Hmm."
Just then, there was a knock, and Xiao Min entered the office. He bowed to Lu Lijun, "Today, fourth young master has to lead the eting."
"Where is your boss?" he asked.
"Boss leaving for a business trip, and she is busy at the mont," Xiao Min replied.
Lu Lijun frowned inside as if he was upset about why he was not inford about it when everyone knew it. ’Was he not important at all?’ he thought.
But more than that, he felt she should be obliged to tell him everything as if it was his right to know everything about her.
"And when do I have to leave for France?" Lu Lijun asked.
"Boss, attending the sa business trip and fourth young master doesn’t need to attend it now," Xiao Min inford.
It surprised him. Just yesterday, she was at all her wits to keep him busy and send him away, but why suddenly this change.
"Haven’t your boss seen the news today?" Lu Lijun asked.
"She did."
There was news about him and Liwei everywhere again. Shouldn’t she stop him, question him, or be even strict with him?
He was expecting to see her furious and argue with him, but it didn’t happen, and it disappointed him.
Xiao Min left, and Noah looked at his friend.
"Congrats, man."
"For what?" Lu Lijun asked.
"Finally, you are dating, and you are happy with her," Noad added and stood up from his chair to go to Lu Lijun.
"That...."
"Let congratulate you properly. Let hug you." Noah pulled Lu Lijun out of the chair and hugged him tight while patting his back firmly, "I can’t tell you how happy I’m as finally, one girl could shake your celibate heart."
Lu Lijun pushed him, "Will you stop it?"
"I can’t. Can’t you see; my eyes almost got teary with happiness? Let grab so tissues.
"Nonsense," Lu Lijun mumbled and sat in his chair, "Take this file and work in your office."
Noah already expected it and smirked as he thought. ’This is just a start, my friend,’ he thought.
Noah left and Lu Lijun, who acted as if he was busy working, slamd the file on the table.
THUD!!
Noah heard it and went to his office while smiling widely.
Lu Lijun couldn’t focus on work and stood up to go to the window behind him as he stared outside.
’How can she leave just like that after what we talked about yesterday. Shouldn’t she feel bad about what she did with ? Now she wants to avoid . She didn’t even scold after seeing that news. Is it that now I am not important and she doesn’t care for ?
Lu Lijun clenched his fists, ’This can’t go like this. She needs to suffer with what I would do. She should regret what she did till now, and I will make it happen by any ans. She will regret ignoring once she would be back.’
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and the receptionist entered the office, "Mr. Chairman asked for the fourth young master."
Lu Lijun thought about it. In the morning, during breakfast, his father looked upset seeing the news but didn’t say anything at that ti. It seems like it was the ti when he would say sothing, and Lu Lijun was ready to hear it all.
Lu Lijun entered Chairman’s office only to see Mr. Wen sitting with his father on the couch in the office. He understood what it was and greeted Mr. Wen. Lu Lijun sat opposite them.
"We called you to talk about the news about you and Liwei," Lu Jinhai inford.
"I told already we are dating, so it should not be a problem," Lu Lijun replied.
"That’s true, but so many assumptions are being drawn. They almost declared you two are getting married," Lu Jinhai spoke.
"We are not against dating, but we just expected you to keep it low so that such news wouldn’t be out," said Mr. Wen calmly.
"And the pictures they posted are not right for Liwei," Lu Jinhai handed over the tablet to Lu Lijun, showing the wrongly portrayed pictures.
In the pictures it showed, Liwei and Lu Lijun stood close as Lu Lijun caressed her hair, looking at her affectionately, while Liwei looked shy. Lu Lijun was fixing holding Liwei’s wrist. When he removed the hairpin, he looked unusually closed to her, thanks to the right angle of the picture. Lu Lijun was holding her hand as they walked together and so on.
All those pictures showed the intimacy between the couple.
It didn’t affect Lu Lijun, "Aren’t these normal things to happen between two people?"
Lu Jinhai sighed, and Mr. Wen didn’t know what to say.
"You two are not even engaged yet to do all these things publically," Lu Jinhai said, his tone a bit annoyed.
"Do I need to be engaged then?" Lu Lijun asked, and the two looked at him.
"No, I an to say....."
"I don’t mind it," Lu Lijun interrupted his father.
"We are not in a hurry, Lu Lijun," said Mr. Wen to ease the situation.
"I told my decision," Lu Lijun declared and stood up, "I would like to leave."
Lu Lijun left, leaving the two older n speechless.
