Chapter 345: Chapter 345 Just Need to Be Careful with Words?

Up the stairs, through the door.

With a bang, the door closed behind them.

As expected, the man spoke up,

"Doctor Lu, impressive!"

This...

Lu Jing’s mouth twitched a few times:

"What I have done now?" he asked.

The man casually tossed a plastic bag onto the coffee table, then step by step walked toward the woman still standing by the door:

"You tell me?" he retorted.

Uh.

"I already told you, it’s not spicy."

But Jiang Ye laughed:

"It’s not just that," he reminded.

Not just that?

Lu Jing felt frustrated. What else could it be?

Surely this man wasn’t being difficult again?

She had no intention of indulging him, and with a shove, she pushed the man standing in front of her:

"Do whatever you want, don’t block the way, I need to use the bathroom."

Pfft.

And then, she really left.

Leaving the man standing there, chuckling to himself.

...

Having entered the bathroom, the woman exhaled sharply before turning on the tap and washing her hands.

After she finished, she didn’t plan to go out immediately.

She needed to wash her hair too.

The whole ordeal took nearly forty minutes.

When Lu Jing came out, Jiang Ye was already in the study, apparently instructing someone over the phone.

Knowing the man was busy with work, Lu Jing was even less likely to disturb him.

She grabbed a cup, went to the kitchen, and filled it with a large glass of water, drinking several gulps.

Those skewers were delicious, but they made you incredibly thirsty.

After all, they were quite flavorful.

Then she started to blow-dry her hair.

Fortunately, her hair wasn’t long, and it didn’t take long to dry.

The person in the study still hadn’t come out. Lu Jing glanced at the room, yawned, and went back to her own room.

It was getting late, after nine o’clock.

It was about time to wind down.

As for that man, he was no three-year-old child; he knew what he was doing.

However, as soon as Lu Jing lay down on the bed, someone entered the room.

Quite timely.

"Doctor Lu, tell me, who did you go with to eat those skewers?"

You couldn’t possibly have gone alone, could you?

Lu Jing rolled her eyes:

"Are you now in charge of my personal freedom?"

A grown man acting like a nagging mother?

Thankfully, this complaint remained in her mind; she would never actually say it aloud.

The man seemed to pause, then laughed, and walked closer to the bedside:

"Shouldn’t I interfere? Or is it that I can’t?" he asked.

Lu Jing’s mouth twitched:

"You better take care of yourself," she responded.

He didn’t like that response.

Suddenly, he pinned her down under him:

"Say that again?"

It was a mix of threat and intimidation!

Lu Jing wasn’t scared and rolled her eyes again:

"Get off, you’re too heavy," she retorted, annoyed.

Lu Jing herself weighed barely ninety pounds, while this man was over a hundred and sixty pounds, almost double her weight.

Pfft~

"Where am I heavy? Besides, even if I am, haven’t I never crushed you?"

When have I ever crushed you?

After grasping the meaning behind his words, Lu Jing’s cheeks flushed red:

"Could you watch your language?"

Could you stop with the innuendos, please?

Have you no shame?

And even if you don’t care, others do.

Jiang Ye burst into laughter, amused by this quirky woman:

"Do I only need to watch my words?" he teased.

Hearing this, what didn’t Lu Jing understand?

And she could already feel something was off.

"Jiang Ye!"

"Uh-huh, go ahead, you have three seconds."

Three seconds?

That’s hardly enough time to finish a sentence.
