Noah entered the ho, and seeing no one in the living room; he went to his room.
Jake and An Tian were still upstairs in the gallery.
"Let’s go," An tian instructed.
"You go. I need so ti," said Jake.
"Take it easy," An Tian patted his brother’s shoulder to calm him down as he knew what was going on inside him.
"Hmm."
An Tian left, and Jake continued standing, looking at the sky, enjoying the cold breeze to calm himself down, or he didn’t know what he would do if he saw Noah.
After almost half an hour, Jake ca downstairs, and there was no one so he could guess Noah was in his room and felt relieved.
Jake was about to go to his room; just then, Noah ca out of his room. He was in his night pajamas and looked like he just had a shower. Jake’s eyes couldn’t fail to notice and he stared at him.
Noah saw him and asked, "Why are you still awake?" and went towards the kitchen.
Jake didn’t answer as he looked at Noah retreating back, but before that, his sight noticed the marks on Noah’s neck. Jake, who sohow cald himself, now failed to keep it for long as the anger inside him took over again.
Noah pulled out the water bottle and saw Jake staring at him.
"Do you want water," Noah asked.
Jake didn’t reply but clenched his fists, thinking how Noah can be so aloof not to notice his anger and what he was going through. They were the friends who always understood each other, but this was the only thing where they failed and couldn’t see each other’s feelings.
Noah had water and carried the bottle with him to take to his room. Seeing Jake so silent and glaring at him, Noah stopped and stood facing him.
"Are you not feeling well?" Noah was about to touch Jake’s forehead to check the temperature, but Jake held his hands at a wrist and clutched it tightly.
"Ahhh.. Take it easy, man. I was checking your temperature, not going to strangle your neck." Noah had painful expressions of how Jake gripped his wrist tightly as if he would break it the next mont.
Not answering, Jake glared at Noah as if he would strangle him but heard Noah the next mont.
"Seems like your temperature is on the higher side. Your hand will burn my wrist" and tried to pull his hand back.
Jake let go of Noah’s hand and went towards his room as he slamd the door of his room loudly after entering the room.
SLAM!!
Ignoring it, Noah went to his room while An Tian, who was in his room, heard the loud noise of the door slamming and mumbled, "Idiots."

The next morning, Jiang Yuyan opened her wardrobe to get her office clothes. Her sight fell on the box that was kept at the bottom shelf of the wardrobe.
With a heavy heart, she kneeled and pulled that box out. Seeing the gifts inside the box ant for her and her baby, who never got to see this world, her eyes turned watery, and she closed the lid of the box imdiately.
Pushing the box inside the shelf, she closed the wardrobe and went to change her clothes.
She ca out of the room to go downstairs, and at the sa ti, Lu Lijun ca out of his room. She didn’t look at him and continued walking ahead.
Lu Lijun could feel sothing was not right with her as she didn’t look how she always looked cold and emotionless.
When they went downstairs, Jiang Yuyan didn’t go for breakfast and went outside of the mansion. Others who were in the living room were surprised that she didn’t look at anyone and left just like that.
Lu Lijun continued looking at the mansion’s door where she just disappeared.
"What happened? Is there any ergency in the office?" Elder Lu asked his son.
"I don’t think so, father," Lu Jinhai replied worriedly, "Let ask Yun Fan," and pulled out his cellphone.
Once he finished talking to Yun Fan, Lu Jinhai answered, "There is nothing, father."
"Then...."
"Leave her alone for so ti," Grandma interrupted them.
"I am just worried for her," elder Lu countered.
"I know, but sotis it’s good to leave alone," Grandma added.
The butler ca to the living room, and elder Lu asked, "Did she leave?"
"Young mistress left in a hurry and drove by herself," the butler inford.
Everyone felt worried while Lu Lijun could only think about what happened suddenly.
"Lu Bao and Lu Han will co ho today," Lu Chen inford.
"Good to know it. Once they return, we all go sowhere for the short trip," Lu Jinhai suggested.
"How about we go to the farmhouse?" Elder Lu asked, and Lu Jinhai agreed, "We can."
Lu Jinhai looked at Lu Lijun, who stood silently, still looking at the mansion door.
"Lu Lijun, you can take one car to the office."
Coming out of the daze, Lu Lijun looked at his father and nodded lightly.
------
Lu Corporation.
When Lu Lijun reached in his car, he stepped out and noticed the familiar car stopped just behind his car.
That was Jiang Yuyan’s car. She stepped out and left the car there to go inside the office building.
’She left so early but.... Where did she go?’ Lu Lijun thought and another car parked there.
Lu Jinhai stepped out and went to Lu Lijun, "Let’s go."
Lu Lijun walked with his father and heard him say, "You will get your own office tomorrow."
"No need. I am here only for a few days," Lu Lijun interrupted his father.
"Still, you can use it till then," Lu Jinhai insisted.
"I’m fine with how it is," Lu Jinhai firmly denied.
Lu Jinhai didn’t insist later, thinking that if he insisted, his son would leave the office at the very mont.
