Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit
Chapter 416 Deadly!

Chapter 416: Chapter 416 Deadly!

If it hadn’t been for Jiang Ye’s timely shout, Lu Jing might not have noticed the steps under his feet.

He promptly withdrew his foot but didn’t forget to turn around and glare a few times,

"Like I need you to tell me, do I not have eyes?"

Sheesh, talk about thankless effort, kindness taken for donkey’s liver and lungs, that must be what this feels like.

What could Jiang Ye do?

Couldn’t hit, couldn’t scold, couldn’t even speak loudly.

"Fine fine fine, it’s all my fault, okay, your highness?"

That "your highness" really spelled out the household hierarchy.

Lu Jing rolled her eyes a few times before striding over to the car.

After positioning herself, she stayed silent, cheeks puffed up with anger.

Jiang Ye couldn’t help but stifle a laugh as he pulled out the car keys and pressed the button.

Once the car unlocked, Lu Jing decisively pulled open the door and got into the back seat.

Cough cough.

Jiang Ye wanted her to come to the front, but now he didn’t dare.

Forget it!

....

All the way, Lu Jing kept her gaze towards the window, ignoring the person in front who attempted to speak several times.

She was steamed up!

"Wife? Wife?"

"Wife?"

"Lu’er?"

Lu Jing really couldn’t help it now,

"Can you shut your bird’s mouth?"

Even birds aren’t this chatty.

Being so bluntly criticized to his face, it was rare for Jiang Ye in his thirty years.

And the few times it had happened, it was almost always this woman who caused it.

"Still angry?"

"Hmph!"

"Wife, you really misunderstood, it was indeed Professor Guo who said it!"

Lu Jing no longer doubted that, it was just that what the man had just said was too blunt and excessive.

Seeing this, Jiang Ye continued,

"Professor Guo said your uterus is retroverted, so if you want to have a child, it’s best to adopt..."

"Stop, shut up, don’t talk!"

What she hadn’t said out loud was: I get it already!

A retroverted uterus can indeed affect conception, this much Lu Jing knew.

It’s just, Professor Guo could have said it to her directly, couldn’t he?

Why leave it to this stinky man to tell her?

Just thinking about it made her toes curl with embarrassment.

....

On the way back, Lu Jing still didn’t speak.

Until they got back to the fire brigade, she saw from a distance Mrs. Qin struggling with a lot of items, ready to go upstairs.

"Jiang Ye, go help sister-in-law."

Jiang Ye had seen her even earlier and was already planning to help.

However, since his wife had spoken, he didn’t say more but took action immediately.

With a ’bang,’ Jiang Ye pushed open the car door and got out.

A bag in Mrs. Qin’s hand was about to fall to the ground when Jiang Ye caught it in time,

"Sister-in-law, let me help you with that."

"Oh, Captain Jiang?

Oh no, it’s okay, I can take it up myself. It’s not heavy, just bulky and hard to carry."

Even though she said that, Jiang Ye didn’t listen.

After all, his wife had spoken.

"It’s okay, sister-in-law, I’ll carry it."

Without waiting for Mrs. Qin to respond again, he grabbed the bags and headed to the building entrance.

"Captain Jiang, you..."

Mrs. Qin couldn’t stop him and had no choice but to follow.

Meanwhile, Lu Jing had gotten out of the car and just closed the door, perhaps using a bit too much force, when suddenly a wave of blood surged tumultuously.

Damn!

She hurriedly ran homeward.

Fortunately, it was only the third floor, not too high.

Fearful of running into acquaintances and getting delayed, by that time, it might overflow.

Then, that would truly be socially fatal.

Bent over, she clambered up the stairs like an eighty-year-old lady, gripping the handrail tightly.
