If you ask Jiang Ye what he was feeling at that mont, "Damn, screwed the pooch!"
He imdiately gripped the hand of the woman beside him tightly in the palm of his hand, and only then did he feel grounded.
Turning his head,
"Miss Wei, do you need sothing?"
Each punctuation mark was strongly conveying one ssage: I have absolutely nothing to do with her!
Lu Jing tried to withdraw his hand, unsuccessfully.
But inside, he was hard-pressed to describe the feeling; probably, just more at ease.
Wei Lin hadn’t co alone; beside her was another girl, pretty familiar to everyone.
Seems she noticed that sothing was off, tugging at her friend from behind before starting to greet everyone with a cheerful smile:
"My dear comrades-in-arms, good evening!"
Fu Xue, Wei Lin, and Mrs. Qin were all nurses in the obstetrics and gynecology departnt of District J Hospital, with Mrs. Qin being the Nurse Director.
"Hey, isn’t this our comrade Fu Xue?"
"Co in, it’s not your first ti; you’re an old friend now."
Wei Lin was pulled in by Fu Xue, looking completely stunned.
After all, you’d have to be blind not to see such a big guy sitting there.
Who was that woman?
How did she suddenly appear next to Jiang Ye?
What exactly is their relationship?
In fact, it was all clear at a glance, but Wei Lin couldn’t bring herself to believe it.
Lu Jing was silent the whole ti, which made the man beside her rather jittery. In a voice only they could hear, he leaned in and explained in her ear:
"Lu’er, don’t get the wrong idea.
She confessed to , but I’ve already rejected her.
I really had no idea she would co today.
She and Mrs. Qin are colleagues in the sa departnt at District J Hospital, and they get along well."
Pfft~
How afraid must one be of being misunderstood to offer such a rapid-fire explanation?
Absolutely.
After all, there had already been one painful experience.
And during that ti, not only had he lost his son but also had to endure six years of loneliness!
Had it not been for all those misunderstandings back then, they might have been married by now, with a child already in primary school.
So, yeah, it’s all caused so psychological trauma, hasn’t it?
Lu Jing’s face felt hot, and although others couldn’t hear what they were saying, when two people are that close, who wouldn’t notice?
A group of team mbers watched without even blinking once; such a rare opportunity to see Devil Jiang being a whipped husband couldn’t be missed.
As for Wei Lin and Fu Xue, their gazes were much more complicated.
Fortunately, at this mont, Old Qin and his spouse erged from the kitchen, probably also noticing that sothing was amiss.
"Has everyone arrived? We’re ready to eat."
"Sister-in-law, we’re all here."
"Are we now? Where’s Xiao Kai?"
That kid, who had been out playing ever since he got back from school even though it was ti for dinner, was nowhere to be seen.
Old Qin offered to:
"I’ll go look for him. Old Jiang, why don’t you join ? There’s sothing I wanted to discuss with you."
Jiang Ye wasn’t particularly keen on going and was about to refuse when Old Qin pulled him to his feet:
"Co on, hurry up. Your sister-in-law will take care of your wife, no worries."
Mrs. Qin had already co over and warmly grabbed Lu Jing’s hand:
"Aiyo, no wonder Captain Jiang fell for you, you’re stunning!" she praised.
Hmm...
How was one supposed to respond to that?
Luckily, Mrs. Qin didn’t need an answer:
"Sister-in-law, co, co, help carry out a couple of dishes."
Lu Jing instantly responded:
"Sure!"
Compared to sitting here being gawked at like a monkey, he’d rather go carry dishes.
Mrs. Qin didn’t let go of his hand and, after pulling Lu Jing up, she still rembered to instruct the team mbers to take good care of Wei Lin and Fu Xue, the two young ladies.
