CHAPTER 601: CHAPTER 601: A MAN’S SWEET NOTHINGS

The man stood up with a smile:

"Alright, I’m coming."

Hiss.

Why did it feel increasingly off with every word I heard?

It made it seem like something else.

Lu Jing quickened his steps, completely unwilling to engage any further.

Jiang Ye wasn’t in a hurry, following at a leisurely pace. With his long legs, it only took a few steps to catch up.

He was purely teasing his wife for fun.

Such a unique taste in humor he had.

Lu Jing was oblivious to the dark thoughts of the man behind her and would have definitely taken action had she known.

Once in the bedroom, she didn’t waste any time dallying around. She straightened up the bed sheets and lay down.

She couldn’t care less about that certain someone.

It’s not like he was a three-year-old child who needed to be coddled to sleep.

The most important thing was, Lu Jing was truly out of energy tonight and just wanted a good sleep.

Jiang Ye tugged at the corner of his mouth, introspectively questioning himself: Was he really such a beast normally? It seemed his wife was quite frightened.

He silently lay down on the other side of the bed:

"Wife~"

"Sleep."

Heh.

"Can you sleep?"

Of course she could, it was just a matter of when she would fall asleep.

Lu Jing, who had her eyes closed, could only open them:

"Do you have something to say?"

The man stretched out his arm, habitually pulling her into his embrace.

Indeed, only by holding her close could he truly feel at peace.

"Did the hospital mention anything about when you’ll start work or anything?" he asked.

When it came to serious matters, Lu Jing responded earnestly.

"They haven’t said anything, so I’ll just wait for their notice. Whenever they notify me to go to work, I’ll go."

Jiang Ye had no objections:

"Okay."

If he could, he would very much love to have her stay at home every day, sipping tea and going shopping.

After all, they did have the means to do so.

Unfortunately, his wife was not keen on the idea.

Thus, regardless of how much Jiang Ye wanted that, it was useless.

But there was no need to worry. First of all, Jiang Ye had now been elevated to one of the shareholders of the hospital. Furthermore, the major shareholder was no ordinary individual.

With himself and his uncle there to protect her, his wife could walk sideways in the hospital without anyone daring to say a word.

"What about you?"

"Me? What about me?"

Lu Jing pursed her lips:

"The forensic results came back so quickly, are you going to tell me you didn’t do anything?"

She had been suspicious for a while.

No, to be precise, she was quite certain.

After all, both parties had appeared on the scene together, and that was telling enough.

Jiang Ye smiled:

"Wife, your eyes are piercing, nothing gets by you, huh."

"Spill it."

Come clean, got it?

Cough cough.

"I didn’t do anything, it was your father who took action."

Hmm?

Father Jiang?

"It just so happened that the director of the forensic institute used to be college classmates with your father."

Tsk tsk.

No wonder he got the results so quickly.

This must have been an expedited process in the extreme.

Look at the way they worked the system.

"Aunt Su is going to worry again."

Listening to the woman’s mutterings, the man found it quite amusing:

"As your mother-in-law, isn’t it right for her to worry about you?"

His words sounded honorable, but Lu Jing wasn’t as thick-skinned:

"Shut up, I have to call Aunt Su tomorrow morning."

It was only right to reassure the elders.

Jiang Ye didn’t say much:

"As long as you’re happy."

As a matter of fact, as a man, the greatest satisfaction came from his own wife.

If his wife was happy every day, that was all the motivation he needed.

Confronted with the man’s flattery, Lu Jing snorted dismissively.

It’s a good thing no one else could see, or else...

"Sleep, let’s sleep."

If she listened any longer, she would get too excited to fall asleep.
