Chapter 553: Still Angry?
CHAPTER 553: CHAPTER 553: STILL ANGRY?
How can one cool off so easily?
"You tell me."
"Alright, alright, my mistake. But, wife, shouldn’t you check the time?"
"What?"
Lu Jing hadn’t even realized it yet.
On the phone, the man laughed and said word by word,
"So, it’s time to head to the airport. Let the driver stop the car."
Cough, cough, cough.
Only then did Lu Jing realize he still had to catch a flight back to Nanxi City.
He quickly said to the driver,
"Driver, could you please stop the car up ahead?"
Actually, the driver was tired of driving in circles too. If it were the suburbs, it wouldn’t be tiring, but in the city center, with lots of people and cars, it was always a state of high tension; it was exhausting.
Hearing that they could stop, he too breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay."
Half a minute later, Lu Jing got out of the car and waved his hand to the back.
Jiang Ye turned off the car and got out,
"What’s up?" he asked.
Lu Jing twitched his mouth a few times and cleared his throat,
"Give me the money."
???
"Hurry up, what are you staring at? The driver is waiting."
Jiang Ye then took out his wallet and handed it over,
"Take it yourself."
Lu Jing didn’t stand on ceremony. He opened the wallet, took out a few hundred Yuan notes, and handed them to the taxi driver,
"Driver, thank you for your hard work."
"No, no, it’s all part of the job.
Young lady, your boyfriend is really nice. Try not to argue anymore."
Um.
Who can guarantee no more arguments?
But, out of kindness, the driver meant well, so Lu Jing nodded in embarrassment as a response.
After the car door shut, the taxi didn’t delay and drove off.
Lu Jing stood still and couldn’t help massaging his forehead.
"Feeling unwell?" The man was already close and had been paying attention.
Lu Jing shook his head,
"Let’s go."
Indeed, it wasn’t early anymore, and he still needed to go home.
Seeing that his wife obviously wasn’t that angry anymore, the man chuckled softly to himself, then quickly came forward to help open the car door,
"Wife, take it easy."
Lu Jing rolled his eyes,
"Do you think I’m a three-year-old child?"
Getting into a car, does that require all sorts of instructions?
Jiang Ye wanted to provide help, but reality wouldn’t allow it.
"Get in the car, let’s go home."
Lu Jing snorted, then finally got into the car.
Seeing the woman already settled in the car, the man walked around to the driver’s side, opened the door, and got in.
Soon, the car started again and slowly left.
....
When the two returned to the mansion, nobody was at the Lu Mansion.
"I’ll go up and get the luggage."
Fortunately, it was already packed, just to avoid any last-minute rush.
How could Jiang Ye just watch his wife do all the work?
"I’ll get it. You sit and rest for a bit."
Lu Jing didn’t refuse,
"Alright."
Men are naturally quicker than women; he not only grabbed the suitcase but also took a thick coat from the wardrobe.
After coming downstairs, he draped it over her:
"It’s cold. Wear more."
Lu Jing rolled her eyes,
"You might as well have me change into a new set of clothes; that might be more effective."
After all, she was still wearing an evening gown.
Jiang Ye paused and then slapped his forehead,
"Rushed and forgot. Go change, it’s okay at home, but it’ll be cold once we’re outside. Don’t catch a cold now."
Lu Jing was no fool; she wouldn’t choose beauty over comfort.
"Are you going home to get your luggage?"
"Yeah, I’ll wait for you to finish, no rush for that little while."
He’d definitely let his wife finish her tasks first.
