Little Yaoyao seemed to wake up, her eyes half-open:
"Mommy Lu?" she mumbled sweetly, while also sitting up.
Lu Jing quickly approached:
"Mommy Lu is here, go back to sleep."
The little one threw herself into Lu Jing’s arms:
"Mommy Lu, you finally got off work."
Lu Jing chuckled softly, her hand gently patting the little friend’s back:
"Yeah, got off work."
But the little friend didn’t reply.
Upon looking, she had fallen back asleep.
Lu Jing picked her up, her voice and movements immediately becoming very gentle:
"Sister-in-law, then we’ll be leaving first."
Mrs. Qin, of course, didn’t insist on keeping them, after all, it was already past eleven.
Jiang Ye and Old Qin also said their goodbyes, and finally, the two adults and one child left the Old Qin Family’s home.
Downstairs, Lu Jing walked very slowly.
She was still holding a little one in her arms; it was fine if she fell, but she couldn’t let the little friend get hurt.
Jiang Ye watched helplessly for a few moments, said nothing, and took the child from the woman’s arms:
"You walk by yourself!"
Lu Jing felt a sudden lightness in her arms and was stunned for a moment.
Looking again, that person was already carrying the sleeping Little Yaoyao, effortlessly descending several flights of stairs.
Back at home, Little Yaoyao was laid on the large bed, and someone carefully covered her with a blanket.
Leaning against the doorway, Lu Jing watched all this, her innermost feelings seemed to soften a bit.
She couldn’t help but think: If that child from back then was still around, this man would probably be a good father, right?
After all, he was so attentive to Little Yaoyao.
Only, that child from back then was a lifelong regret for both of them.
Lu Jing’s mind was filled with random thoughts when the man came up to her, wrapped his arms around her, and was about to kiss.
"Don’t, I’m all covered in germs!" Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel⟡fire.net
There were many bacterial cultures in the laboratory; after staying in there for so long, it was inevitable to be contaminated.
The man who was blocked by her face looked somewhat like a big dog:
"Let go, I want to take a shower."
If not for having to pick up Yaoyao first, Lu Jing would definitely have taken a shower the moment she got home.
The man loosened his grip and smiled again:
Actually, Jiang Ye was extremely happy and excited that tonight the woman had willingly come home with him.
Some things don’t need to be stated too plainly, understanding each other is enough.
And at this moment, Lu Jing suddenly realized that all her luggage had been sorted out, clothes all hung in the closet, and other items were also neatly placed in every corner of the room.
As if these things had always been here, as though they belonged.
So, had that person been secretly busy with all this today?
But Lu Jing couldn’t help but curl the corners of her mouth a bit.
Without saying much more, she took a set of pajamas from the closet and went to the bathroom.
Jiang Ye was probably on the phone at this time, it sounded like it was with the Jiang Family side.
Indeed, this call was from Jiang Ye’s own blood brother, Jiang Huai.
Once connected, it was a flood of complaints:
"Big brother, when can you come back for once? I’m about to be driven insane by the Gu Family!"
Clearly, not very worried.
"The Gu Family people are now standing in front of the company 24/7, I’ve been living in the office for three days, if this continues, they’ll go mad if I don’t!"
"You can’t have someone drive them away?"
"I have! They’ve been driven away countless times, okay? And besides, we can’t go overboard, as we need to answer to grandpa."
The main issue was Old Sir Jiang; otherwise, why would they be so passive?
