CHAPTER 540: CHAPTER 540: ARE YOU ASKING FOR A BEATING?

Upstairs.

Lu Jing had just pushed the door open and stepped in, barely stable on his feet, when someone embraced him from behind, pressing him forcefully against the door.

Hiss~

He couldn’t move at all.

"What are you freaking out about?" The tone was unfriendly.

Jiang Ye could obviously sense the strong resistance in the woman’s voice, but at a time like this, he certainly couldn’t let go!

"Alright, alright, don’t be mad." He even started to soothe her in a gentle voice.

Lu Jing stopped struggling and glanced up at the man in front of her:

"I need to take a shower."

Ahem.

"We can chat for a bit first, then you can shower."

Lu Jing was quite disgusted:

"What’s there to talk about?"

Jiang Ye didn’t get upset, but instead, his smile grew wider:

"Really, there’s nothing to talk about?"

Hmm???

The next second, that handsome face zoomed close up, right in front of her eyes.

Lu Jing wanted to back away, but she was already against the door, where was there room to retreat?

"You..."

The words that followed had no chance to come out.

Because, that person’s lips had already moved in, kissing her fiercely.

Clearly, since there was nothing good to talk about, it was time to get started!

As they kissed, what started calmly soon became completely unrestrained.

Lu Jing’s mind was all a blur, not knowing anything, with no reason left.

.....

Fortunately, that night, neither Mr. Lu nor Lu’s mother came upstairs to interrupt.

And the two of them didn’t go to sleep until well after midnight.

They slept all the way until the next day, well into the afternoon.

Lu’s mother had prepared lunch and seeing that no one had come downstairs yet, she reluctantly went upstairs to knock on the door.

’Knock knock knock...’

At the first few knocks, the people inside genuinely didn’t hear.

After several more persistent knocks, Jiang Ye was the first to open his eyes.

At the same time, the woman in his arms nuzzled impatiently, then continued to lie in the man’s embrace, undisturbed in her slumber.

Jiang Ye’s lips curved into a tender smile, he gently kissed her hair, then carefully got out of bed.

Outside the door, Lu’s mother was about to knock a third time, prepared to walk away if there was no response.

After all, they would naturally come down when they were hungry.

And just as her hand was about to touch the door,

Who knew it would actually be opened from the inside.

"Auntie, good morning."

Hiss.

It was somewhat uncomfortable to see a prospective son-in-law in her daughter’s room first thing in the morning.

"Ah, Zaozao, hurry down when you wake up, the food is all ready."

Jiang Ye was calm and cool as he responded:

"Of course, Auntie."

Lu’s mother couldn’t stay any longer:

"Mmm, tell Jingjing to hurry too."

"Will do."

After saying that, Lu’s mother turned and left, her footsteps considerably quicker than usual, bounding down the stairs two at a time rather than the slow, cautious descent she normally took.

Jiang Ye watched Lu’s mother go down before he closed the door to re-enter.

On the big bed, Lu Jing was actually awake too; she was just too exhausted and sleepy, unwilling to open her eyes.

Jiang Ye saw through it and approached:

"Aren’t you getting up? Soon your mother-in-law might come in."

No reaction, completely disregarding him.

The man crouched down and mischievously pinched the woman’s nose.

That got Lu Jing to immediately snap her eyes open:

"Jiang Ye, are you asking to be hit?"

Pfft.

"How about we make a bet, if you can endure me, you win?"

In this regard, Lu Jing was rather self-aware and definitely wouldn’t bet on that.

"Let go!"

She was almost out of breath.

"Hurry up!"

Jiang Ye finally let go reluctantly, he couldn’t really make her angry because, in the end, he would be the one to suffer.

Lu Jing sat up in bed, feeling a rush of soreness and pain through her whole body.
