Chapter 185: Chapter 185: I’ll Take It as You’re Complimenting Me on Being Beautiful

Lu Jing stood still, his eyes unblinking as he stared at the man over here, his face wearing a smirk that wasn’t quite a smile.

This...

Captain Jiang shuddered violently inside. Just as he was about to step forward, Xing Sike came rushing over with a flutter:

"Brother Aye, I missed you so much!"

Hiss!!!

But no way.

How could Jiang Ye let Xing Sike throw herself into his arms?

So, when she was about half a meter away, he swiftly sidestepped.

The next second:

A loud ’thump!’ was heard.

She had fallen heavily to the ground and for a moment didn’t make a sound.

Perhaps, it was because her pain nerves hadn’t reacted yet.

Lu Jing couldn’t help but frown, thinking to himself: Some people really don’t know how to treat a lady gently!

Treat gently, how could he not?

It’s just that this gentle treatment must be reserved for the right person!

Xing Sike started to make some buzzing noises, and then she let out a loud ’wah~’ as she started to wail.

Jiang Ye watched, his eyelids twitching, but still he reached out to pull her up from the ground.

After pulling her up, he quickly let go, as if she were some super germ.

"Brother Aye, you... wuwuwu...."

Jiang Ye was quite helpless:

"Enough, why the crying? It’s just a fall, isn’t it?"

"But it really hurts."

"What hurts? Your skin isn’t even broken."

Truly, he was concerned about the person, not the situation.

If it were his wife who’d taken such a fall, he’d probably be heartbroken, right?

By now Lu Jing had pretty much figured it out: Jiang Ye didn’t have any extra feelings for this young lady.

Though, their relationship was indeed not shallow.

At this moment, Jiang Ye waved to Lu Jing:

"Lu’er, come here."

Lu Jing didn’t really want to go over, but Miss Xing was already looking in his direction.

Ahem.

"What?"

Jiang Ye immediately broke into a smile:

"Here, let me introduce you. This is Xing Sike, the precious daughter of the divisional chief."

The divisional chief’s precious daughter, huh?

So that’s how it is.

Lu Jing nodded:

"Miss Xing."

But Xing Sike’s eyes bulged wide with shock:

"Brother Aye, who is she?"

That interrogative tone, if you didn’t know what was going on, one might really misunderstand.

Jiang Ye was even more decisive, wrapping his arms around Lu Jing’s waist:

"Xing Sike, this is my wife; you should call her sister-in-law!"

Straightforward and resolute.

And with that statement, Xing Sike froze.

"What...What?

Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

She was in total disbelief!

Jiang Ye’s face turned cold:

"There’s nothing impossible about it, and Xing Sike, if I’m not mistaken, you should be in class at school right now!"

This...

Indeed, Miss Xing had snuck out.

How could she not know about the fire brigade fan meet-up?

She had known about it for a long time and had been waiting for this day.

Otherwise, there was simply no chance to see him, alright?

But but but, who would have thought that such a huge surprise would be waiting for her?

Xing Sike had liked Jiang Ye for two years already; they knew each other from before, but she was too young back then to understand these things.

Afterward, it wasn’t like she hadn’t confessed her feelings, but Jiang Ye only ever saw Xing Sike as a sister, even treating her better than his own sister!

Xing Sike had no choice but to settle for this for now, planning to boil the frog in warm water, hoping that one day she would warm his heart.

Now, as she looked at Lu Jing, her gaze was even more unfriendly than before:

"Just what kind of vixen are you, popping up out of nowhere?"

A vixen?

Great, this was the first time someone had ever described her that way.

"Young lady, I’ll take your ’vixen’ as a compliment on my beauty, thank you~"
