Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Wait Until Dawn

Jiang Yuan really didn’t want to be around to watch her parents’ display of affection:

"Dad, Mom, I’m going back to my room."

"Okay, get some rest early."

Jiang Yuan hopped out the door, only to be caught by her elder brother as soon as she stepped outside.

"Big brother?"

Scared the life out of me, okay?

Jiang Ye directly dragged her to the end of the corridor:

"Don’t go blabbing about your sister-in-law and my business for now, got it?"

There was a threat in his tone.

Jiang Yuan’s mouth twitched a few times:

"Brother, you don’t need to tell me that, my sister-in-law already did. Besides, can’t you be a little nicer to your own sister?"

It’s not like we’re mortal enemies!

Seriously...

Hearing that his wife had already mentioned it, Jiang Ye’s eyes flickered:

"What did your sister-in-law say?" he asked.

Jiang Yuan rattled off, without missing a single word, exactly what Lu Jing had said.

At this, Jiang Ye wasn’t upset at all.

After all, it seemed like that woman wasn’t resistant any longer, right?

So, he was too happy to be upset, how could he be?

He let go of her:

"Alright, go back and rest."

Saying this, he had already turned and walked away first.

Only because he’s my own brother, if it were some outsider...

Jiang Yuan took several deep breaths on the spot before shuffling back to her room.

And Jiang Ye, he drove back to the fire brigade in a leisurely manner.

Even taking over the night shift, he was all smiles.

It did scare the crew member taking over the shift, who ran off at full speed.

...

In the wee hours around two in the morning, Lu Jing and Bai Luo got off the plane.

Lu Yan’s figure had been waiting in the airport hall for a while and caught sight of them as soon as they appeared.

"Over here!" he waved.

"Brother!"

Lu Yan ruffled his sister’s hair before taking his wife’s bag:

"Have you two eaten?" he asked.

"We ate, we ate on the plane."

While the airplane food wasn’t very tasty and the portions were small, it was enough to tide them over for the late hour.

The three of them exited the airport hall, and the driver had already brought the car around.

Lu Yan got into the front passenger seat, while the two ladies sat in the back.

"I wonder if Mom and Dad have gone to bed by now?"

Bai Luo spoke up:

"They must be asleep; you’re staying at the old house tonight, aren’t you?"

Even though everyone actually lived in the same villa area, Lu Jing didn’t really want to go back to the old house:

"No, no, I miss Mom and Dad."

Pfft~

This made Bai Luo and Lu Yan burst into laughter:

"You’re how old, and you still miss your aunt and uncle?"

Lu Jing coughed:

"No matter how old I am, I’m still their daughter, right?"

Missing Mom and Dad, isn’t that normal?

Indeed.

In the end, they really did drop her off first.

"It’s so late, your sister-in-law and I won’t go in to avoid disturbing your aunt and uncle, see you tomorrow."

"Okay! Brother, sister-in-law, good night."

"Good night."

...

Lu Jing was very light on her feet, but upon entering the house, she still woke up the old couple.

Lu’s mother came out of her room:

"Girl?"

"Mom!"

"Ah, you’ve finally come back, your Dad and I were just talking about it."

After all, it was Lu’s mother who had booked the ticket, so she knew the time.

"Mom, you and Dad haven’t gone to bed so late?"

Lu’s mother sighed:

"How could your Dad and I really sleep without you back?"

Lu Jing felt somewhat helpless, but she understood.

Parents, after all, are always worried about their children.

"Mom, what if I went back to the old house with my brother and his wife? Would you have waited until sunrise?"

Lu’s mother rolled her eyes:

"If you went back there, your brother would have called us."

So, there wouldn’t be any waiting until sunrise.
