Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Women Often Say One Thing and Mean Another

Lu Jing still had to go home to get his clothes and other things ready, and Lu’s mother was waiting at the door early, quickly stepping aside when she saw the car pull in.

If he didn’t come back soon, Lu’s mother was planning to personally visit the Jiang Family.

What if her precious daughter was being bullied?

"Mom!"

"Auntie!"

Lu’s mother responded promptly,

"Yes, yes, have you got everything ready?" she asked.

Jiang Ye nodded obediently, looking completely harmless.

But old people, ah, they do like that sort.

Lu’s mother’s face was smiling nonstop, her wrinkles were showing through the laughter—didn’t she mind at all?

There’s a saying: a mother-in-law’s fondness for her son-in-law grows with time!

Lu Jing went straight into the house and upstairs, leaving the two in the courtyard.

At that moment, Lu’s mother quietly started speaking to Jiang Ye,

"Xiao Ye."

"Auntie, speak."

Lu’s mother felt awkward but had to speak, she was conflicted,

"That is, if you two aren’t planning to get married so soon, ahem, you should be cautious about certain things."

???

Jiang Ye wasn’t stupid, he understood instantly.

The mother-in-law was sounding a warning bell for him.

Ahem.

Even someone as thick-skinned as Jiang Ye felt a bit nervous and bashful in front of his prospective mother-in-law,

"Auntie, I understand."

Lu’s mother nodded, relieved,

"That’s good, that’s good."

It was so embarrassing!

Now, Lu Jing came out with his luggage,

"What were you two talking about?" he asked.

Lu’s mother couldn’t possibly answer, and Jiang Ye paused before replying,

"Nothing much, just small talk."

Immediately, Lu’s mother nodded in agreement,

"Yes, yes, just a couple of words."

Really?

Lu Jing was skeptical. If it was just small talk, why would his mother be so nervous?

As the daughter, of course, she understood her mother well.

But since her mother didn’t want to discuss it, Lu Jing wouldn’t press further.

After all, she could still ask the person next to her later, right?

Jiang Ye had already taken the luggage Lu Jing brought and stuffed it into the back of the car.

"Girl, be careful not to catch a cold."

"I know, Mom. Have you forgotten what your daughter does for a living?"

As a doctor, how could she not know these simple life tips?

But knowing and doing are two different things!

"Mom, we’ll be going now."

"Go on, go on, call home if you need anything."

"Okay."

There might be issues being with other people, but with Jiang Ye, what could happen?

....

The car slowly left the villa area and then got onto the main road.

It was then that Lu Jing asked,

"What were you and my mom just talking about?"

Jiang Ye might be somewhat shy in front of his future mother-in-law, but in front of his own woman, not a bit of embarrassment.

"Your mom said we should be careful."

Hmm?

"Careful of what?"

Jiang Ye turned his head and smiled meaningfully,

"Not to have a shotgun wedding."

Hiss—

He really shouldn’t have asked!

A stifled chuckle from a man echoed in the car, but it was Lu Jing who remained silent for a long time, her cheeks flushing red.

It was so awkward.

"My mom..."

Why would she say that?

It was baffling.

Jiang Ye could understand, though; after all, it wouldn’t be just talk if it were his own daughter,

"What’s the big deal? It’s normal, don’t be embarrassed."

She wasn’t a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young lady.

"Who’s embarrassed?"

Pfft—

"Yes, yes, yes, not at all."

Women are often so contradictory!

Lu Jing rolled her eyes; how could she not hear the teasing in his words?

"Jiang Ye, you...."

"Wife, I really didn’t say anything."
