Chapter 312: Chapter 312: Money Can’t Buy My Happiness

"Now, the rescue in the afternoon probably really exhausted you."

Jiang Ye sat up straight, and Lu Jing stood up and began to knead gently, gradually increasing the pressure.

"Does this work?" he asked.

"It’s fine."

This level of strength, for Jiang Ye, was like being tickled.

But, it’s priceless when someone is happy about it!

However, as he was being massaged, he fell asleep.

At first, Lu Jing didn’t notice until he tried to move Jiang Ye’s body a bit and saw no response, so he took a closer look and found that the man had already fallen asleep.

Sigh...

He didn’t want to wake him.

So, he carefully sat down while gently placing the man’s head on his own lap.

Throughout this time, Jiang Ye didn’t wake up.

You know, normally how alert is this person?

He felt nothing but concern and affection.

It took a while before he picked up his phone.

First turning off all the sounds, he then started to check the news.

...

Jiang Ye didn’t wake up until nearly two hours later.

It had started raining outside, and it was almost dark.

"What time is it now?" he asked.

"Six twenty."

Upon hearing the answer, Jiang Ye’s face showed a trace of discomfort:

"Cough, why didn’t you wake me? Are your legs numb?"

To say they weren’t numb would be lying.

But it was still within Lu Jing’s tolerance.

"I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn’t call you."

Jiang Ye started to massage Lu Jing’s legs on his own:

"Does it hurt?"

"It doesn’t hurt."

"Really doesn’t hurt?"

"Really!"

His legs were just a bit numb; a little rubbing and moving would do the trick.

As luck would have it, the phone was also low on battery:

"Stop rubbing, help me charge it."

His legs were numbed, and he didn’t feel like moving much.

Jiang Ye reached out to take the phone:

"Sure, just wait a bit."

With that, his long legs flipped over from the side of the coffee table and then into the study.

After plugging in the charger, just as he was about to come out, his own phone in his pocket rang.

"Hello?"

"It’s me."

Oh, the big brother-in-law?

"Brother Yan!" He called out obediently.

On the phone, Lu Yan asked:

"Is Jingjing with you?"

Jiang Ye looked towards the living room before answering:

"Yes, do you need her for something?"

"No need, it’s the same if I talk to you. I’ve had the trending video from today taken down."

"We were planning to remove it anyway."

He hadn’t expected Brother Yan to take the initiative.

"Okay, just letting you know. That’s all."

Hmm.

What do two grown men have to talk about?

Before, they might have chatted a bit.

Ever since Jiang Ye and Lu Jing’s relationship was exposed, the bond between the guys seemed to have become a lot stiffer.

To be honest, there really wasn’t any conflict or entanglement.

For Lu Yan, Jiang Ye was just the pig that had gotten into his family’s cabbages!

And Jiang Ye just found the brother-in-law to be a bit of a nuisance!

"Mm, do you want Lu’er to take the call?"

"That’s fine."

In the living room, Lu Jing was hammering his own leg, which was no longer as numb as before.

He saw Jiang Ye come out of the study with a certain look on his face.

"Lu’er, take the phone."

Hmm.

"Who’s it?"

"Cough, Brother Yan."

Hearing it was her cousin on the phone, Lu Jing quickly reached out:

"Give me the phone."

Tsk tsk.

Even though Jiang Ye was a bit displeased, he still handed over the phone without hesitation.

And Lu Jing, after taking the phone, went out to the balcony:

"Hello, brother?"

"Yeah, yeah, I got it, no worries."

"Did I trouble you again?"

The siblings talked back and forth for quite a while.

Jiang Ye even felt like snatching the phone away, but he held back with great effort, unable to suppress his jealousy.

So what if it’s her cousin?
