Chapter 355: Chapter 355: You’ll Understand When You Grow Up

Qin Kai knew he couldn’t see Uncle Jiang in person, so he was inevitably a lot bolder than usual.

He actually snatched Lu Jing’s phone and pompously said into the phone,

"Uncle Jiang, I’m not that little kid!"

Pfft!

Lu Jing couldn’t hold back a laugh.

Even the man on the phone couldn’t help but chuckle at this moment.

"Qin Kai, why aren’t you at home this late? What are you doing with my wife?"

He asked rather formally.

The little kid snorted twice,

"It was Aunt Lu who invited me over to your house, not me."

There was a sense of ’I’m not keen on visiting your house anyway.’

Jiang Yekou didn’t want to waste his precious free time on a little brat:

"Where’s your Aunt Lu?"

Xiao Kai turned his head to look, then answered,

"Aunt Lu is having dinner."

"Huh?"

"This late for dinner?"

The little kid nodded,

"Yeah, Aunt Lu and my mom are both incredibly busy, it’s even early for them to have dinner now, my mom hasn’t even left work yet!"

Clearly, Qin Kai was quite resentful.

Knowing his wife was having dinner, Jiang continued to babble with the little brat.

....

Lu Jing had actually finished eating very quickly; noodles, which took just a few minutes to prepare.

Mostly because he was really hungry.

After finishing his noodles and seeing that the little kid was chatting happily, he didn’t interrupt and carried his bowl into the kitchen.

When he came out a few minutes later,

it was clear the man on the phone was getting impatient:

"Qin Kai, let your Aunt Lu take the phone." He commanded directly.

Just then, Lu Jing had already come out.

Xiao Kai ran up to him:

"Aunt Lu, Uncle Jiang wants you to take the phone."

"Thanks."

She then took the phone and dialed,

"Hello?"

"Working overtime again?"

"Mm, there was a surgery this afternoon that took longer than expected.

Are you done with your work?"

Actually, Lu Jing didn’t really want the man to call her whenever he was free; she’d rather he rested properly.

She knew his daytime work must be very tiring.

Truthfully, she was just worried.

"Worried about me?" the man still sounded roguish.

Lu Jing rolled her eyes impatiently,

"Should I just stop worrying then, happy now?"

"No, no, no, my wife worrying about me makes me very happy.

Don’t worry, I’ll be back tomorrow."

The tasks he needed to handle were almost finished, just some final wrap-up left.

Lu Jing hummed in response and was about to say something when suddenly a voice called out from the other side of the phone:

"Captain Jiang, Mr. Xing is looking for you."

"I’ll be right there." He responded to that person, then picked up the phone again:

"Wife, I need to hang up."

"Alright, be safe."

These four words, she never forgot to remind him.

After all, how dangerous his job was!

In times of peace, firefighting is the most dangerous of professions.

Doo-doo-doo...

The call had ended.

She couldn’t help but sigh.

This made Qin Kai frown,

"Aunt Lu, why do you look just like my mom? Every time she finishes talking to my dad, she has that same expression."

Of course.

Who wouldn’t worry about their loved ones’ safety?

"You’re still young, you’ll understand when you’re older."

Xiao Kai shook his head:

"nonono, please don’t tell me I’ll understand when I’m older, that’s just something adults say to fool kids."

After finishing, he continued to hold his head high:

"Aunt Lu, I want to go home now."
