Chapter 1457: Pain Of Rejection Is Worse
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
When Lu Lijun, Jiang Yuyan and Noah were having lunch, Lu Lijun received a call.
“Elder sister,” he said as he looked at the screen. He received it and put it on speaker mode to let Yuyan hear it as well.
“What are you doing, little bunny?” she asked.
“Lunch,” he replied.
“Yuyan?”
“Sitting next to me.”
“As obvious,” Lu Lian commented with a light laugh and said, “I called you to inform you that you might have to return home soon.”
“Are they preparing for your wedding already?” Lu Lijun asked.
“I know you are smart,” she commented and explained, “Rusheng’s Grandfather is suffering from health issues so his family wishes to have the wedding soon.”
“What happened to Grandpa?” Jiang Yuyan asked as she realized she had not called or gotten an update about him for more than a month now.
“Nothing serious, the usual older age issues. Rusheng looked a little tense as well so I agreed to it,” she replied.
“You did well,” Jiang Yuyan said.
“Well, my purpose to inform you in advance was, once you two are here, you won’t be free like how you are there in England. I want you two to have enough time to decide before coming here. You might like to go on somewhere and spend time together as it might not be the same once you return home,” she paused, “Well, if you inform our families then there won’t be an issue. I am sure somewhere they are aware but it would be better if you two tell them clearly what’s going on instead of keeping them guessing.”
“Hmm! Thanks for the heads up,” was what Lu Lijun said as he could not decide on his own.
He didn’t have an issue telling his family everything but getting Jiang Yuyan’s opinion was important. She was not reckless like him to decide as she pleased.
“Take care and enjoy your lunch then,” Lu Lian said and hung up the call after they said bye. Lu Lian didn’t want them to be caught off guard when their family ask them to return all of a sudden and they would not have enough time to decide what they had to do.
Jiang Yuyan was silent for a while as she was troubled with the thought of what she would do once they return home and how she would tell the families.
She looked at Lu Lijun, “What do you plan on doing?”
He looked at her and observed those lines on her forehead that showed she was worried. He caressed her forehead with his thumb to ease those frown lines and replied, “As we had planned before- A Vacation.”
She cleared her throat awkwardly as she knew the meaning of this vacation and simply nodded agreeing to it.
“Don’t worry about work. I can handle it in your absence,” Noah commented and winked at Lu Lijun who looked at him.
Lu Lijun simply nodded while Jiang Yuyan felt awkward. Nothing was hidden between these friends.

In the night, after the dinner, Lu Lijun wished to be with Noah as they had the talk about what they left unfinished in the morning and Jake had not contacted them even once after he disappeared and had kept his mobile turned off.
“You can sleep first, I might be late,” Lu Lijun said.
“Is he okay?” Jiang Yuyan asked.
“He shows it like it but I know he is not,” Lu Lijun replied.
“Then take care of him. Don’t worry about me.”
He pecked on her lips, “Thank you,” and left the room.
Noah was outside while taking a stroll in a daze and looked like in deep thoughts. Lu Lijun went to the lawn, “Seems like you won’t sleep tonight.”
“Don’t want to,” Noah replied.
“I tried calling him but his cell phone is switched off,” Lu Lijun informed.
“Why do you want to disturb him during his fun time,” Noah said sarcastically.
Lu Lijun didn’t disagree with what he said, “Well, you are right. Let him have some fun. It’s good for him when someone stubborn keeps rejecting him.”
“Are you here to taunt me?” Noah asked.
“If you think like this,” Lu Lijun didn’t deny it and went to being serious as he walked with his friend, “Noah, out of all kinds of pain, the pain of rejection is worse than any pain a person can feel. Physical injuries give pain to your body and it can get better with treatment but this pain affects you mentally and no medicine can heal it. You have seen me and you have suffered it yourself. You know it hurts a lot.”
Noah stood silent for a while, “I don’t know what to do either. I just know I need time to think. It’s not so easy.”
“Then take your time,” Lu Lijun assured, “Now continue the talk we left midway in the morning.”
“It’s nothing. I am just surprised at how brother Tian could ask me to leave to never come in front of Jake. Doing that means, I have to be away from you and others to who I am so attached for so long. Everyone is like family to me. I have spent so much time with you all that I have not spent with my parents or any other relatives. I only know you all. He can just ask his brother to stay away from me.”
“Maybe he was testing if you are willing to stay away from him,” Lu Lijun said.
“Whatever!,” he frowned, “And how could he decide what is the right answer to any question? How can I know what answer he expects from me? I am not a psychologist to see through someone’s mind. It was a simple and logical answer that I want to know because it’s related to me.”
“Maybe there is another answer to it,” Lu Lijun commented.
Noah stopped walking and turned to look at him, “What? Tell me what it is?”
“How will I know? If he had asked you that question, then there must be another answer to it,” Lu Lijun explained.
Noah frowned, “Being his patient in the past, had made you like him. Go back to your room and plan for your vacation instead of siding with him.”
“Vacation? Hmm, that I will plan because I am not a fool like you to waste precious time. With her, every moment counts,” Lu Lijun said.
Noah frowned, “If you are here to show off…then fuck off…”
Lu Lijun laughed at his annoyed friend and heard him again, “Aren’t you going?”
“Let her take a break from me,” Lu Lijun said and Noah understood and commented, “You horny guy!”
Lu Lijun only smiled, “Aren’t you the same when Jake is around.”
Noah scoffed, “I am not deprived of sexual pleasure like you two. I had enough share of it to the extent of getting bored of it.”
“But still can’t be compared to what you feel with Jake,” Lu Lijun insisted, “Right?”
“We did nothing sort of that,” Noah said and looked away as he could not lie while looking into Lu Lijun’s eyes.
Lu Lijun smirked, “I believe you.”
Noah said nothing as he continued to walk while Lu Lijun continued to accompany him.
