Chapter 141: Chapter 141 Prospective Father-in-law and Mother-in-law

It was already almost time with only two hours for lunch break. Lu Jing had delayed another half hour after work.

She had to leave now or she would be late.

After a quick face wash in the bathroom, she came out:

"Dad, Mom, I’m going to work."

"Sweetie, be careful on the road!"

"Come home early after work, alright?"

Did her old folks think she was still three or thirteen years old?

"Got it, got it," Lu Jing replied, both helpless and amused.

At that moment, Jiang Ye was holding car keys:

"Uncle, Auntie, don’t worry, I have to go to the office too and it’s on the way. Lu’er can ride with me."

With those words, the old couple indeed felt reassured:

"Okay, that’s great then."

Lu Jing’s refusal was on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed it back.

She knew that even if she refused, it wouldn’t work, better just to agree.

...

It was the first time Mr. Lu and Lu’s mother were sending their daughter off to work. After the elevator arrived, they both thanked Jiang.

It really startled Jiang:

"Uncle, Auntie, you don’t need to be so polite with me."

He truly felt undeserving!

Lu Jing felt a bit mischievous inside, just watching and not helping at all.

After several eye signals from Jiang, he finally understood completely.

Great.

Fortunately, it didn’t take too long.

As the elevator doors closed and began descending.

Lu Jing hastily tried to step back but, unfortunately, she didn’t even move back half a step before she was caught.

"Do you really enjoy watching my embarrassment that much? Hm?"

Cough, cough.

"Don’t talk nonsense. I wasn’t!"

"Not?"

She was still pretty defiant.

Lu Jing struggled for a moment:

"When I say no, it’s no. Don’t you falsely accuse me!"

The man pressed down further:

"Why do I feel like you were?"

Just as their noses were touching and they were completely close.

’Ding’—the sound of the elevator rang out.

"We’re here, let go."

How awkward would it be if someone was outside the door?

The man stepped back, indeed he did not want to show affection in front of strangers, that would be too much of a loss.

Only people with serious issues would think it’s impressive.

Sure enough, when the door opened, there was not just one person outside, but several, probably a whole family.

They nodded to each other as a greeting.

"I’ll bring the car around, wait for me below."

Lu Jing hummed in response but didn’t refuse.

Might as well face the music. Since there was no escaping it, might as well go with the flow as there didn’t seem to be a better option.

It wasn’t long, perhaps less than two minutes, before Jiang Ye arrived driving his big jeep.

’Beep Beep~’

"Wifey, get in."

Cough... cough cough cough...

She was startled into a fit of coughs.

"Jiang Ye, you..."

The man was grinning like a trumpet flower:

"Hurry up and get in, otherwise don’t blame me if we are late."

Lu Jing clenched her fists tightly before opening the car door and getting in.

She didn’t sit in the passenger seat but in the back, which annoyed someone quite a bit.

"Lu’er, come to the front."

There was a tempting tone to his voice.

Lu Jing rolled her eyes:

"Are you going or not? If not, I’ll get out and catch a taxi."

Hearing this, the man immediately said:

"Going, we’re going right now!"

The big jeep then started and smoothly drove off.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the hospital.

Lu Jing was the first to get out of the car, and she left without turning back.

Jiang Ye was ahead, unable to catch up.

He sighed before driving towards the fire station diagonally across.

Well, what kind of man would argue with a woman?

He’d remember this, there would be a day to settle the score.
