Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Don’t Know How to Face It

"Put your stuff down and hurry upstairs. You’re a girl, you shouldn’t stay up late often, you know? And you’re a doctor!"

Uh...

Everyone knows that staying up late is bad for your health.

But who can really manage it?

Not to mention the habits of young people these days, just the nature of their work determines that they can’t go to bed early and get up early.

At this moment, even Mr. Lu came out, echoing Lu’s mother’s words:

"Girl, your mom is right, hurry up and go rest."

What else could Lu Jing say?

"Then I’m going upstairs, good night, Dad, Mom."

"Hurry up, no more talking."

Cough.

Back in her room, she couldn’t just lie down and fall asleep.

She picked out a set of pajamas and went to take a shower in the bathroom.

After flying for hours, how could she feel comfortable without a hot shower?

And with this delay, by the time she came out, it was almost three o’clock.

She picked up her phone lying nearby and checked it, no messages.

Still, Lu Jing sent a message to someone:

"I’m home, going to sleep."

Just as she was about to lie down, her phone started vibrating.

She answered:

"What are you calling for so late at night?" she said grumpily.

On the phone, the man chuckled:

"I missed you, wife. You just left your man behind without a word, how could you?"

Hiss~

"Be serious."

"What’s not serious?"

Lu Jing didn’t want to persist in this unproductive conversation:

"What are you doing up so late, not sleeping?"

"Just got off duty."

Great, he was on duty?

No wonder there hadn’t been any messages before.

"Then hurry back and sleep."

"How can I sleep without you here?

Wife~"

Lu Jing got goosebumps all over:

"Stop, cut the corny talk. I’m going to sleep if you’re not."

It’s already three o’clock, big brother.

If she didn’t sleep now, it’d be morning soon.

There’s a lot to do during the day.

Fortunately, the man on the phone didn’t tease anymore:

"Just say you miss me, and I’ll go to sleep."

Tsk tsk.

Lu Jing was speechless, did this guy have a problem?

"Not saying it, hanging up now!"

And then, she really hung up the phone.

Who plays mushy late at night?

She threw her phone down, put on an eye mask, and soon fell asleep.

...

The next day.

While Lu Jing was still asleep, Lu’s mother came upstairs and into the room.

"Girl, come have breakfast."

She opened her eyes with difficulty:

"Mom, I’ll eat in a bit."

Even as she spoke, she closed her eyes again.

Lu’s mother pulled off the covers:

"Your cousins and your sister-in-law are all here, downstairs."

Huh?

Everyone’s here?

She sat up:

"They’re so early?"

She checked the time, it wasn’t even eight o’clock yet.

No wonder she could barely open her eyes after just over four hours of sleep.

However, she couldn’t stay in bed any longer.

She got up from the bed.

First off, washing her face with cold water, she finally felt awake.

...

When Lu Jing came downstairs, her mind was clear. Seeing the line of people sitting below, her heart skipped a beat. Could it be...

"Jingjing!"

Lu Li spoke first.

Then Bai Luo:

"Girl, you didn’t rest well last night, did you?"

Bai Luo herself hadn’t rested well, and neither had Lu Yan sitting next to her.

After all, the three of them had gotten home almost at the same time last night.

But it seemed, for now, that her affair with Jiang Ye wasn’t yet known to the family!

She sighed in relief.

First thing in the morning, she really didn’t know how to face it.

Thank goodness!

With Jiang Ye at the Jiang Family, and the Gu Family not daring to offend the Jiangs, it was certain that the Jiang family would communicate with the Gu side.

So for now, the scene remained harmoniously calm.
