Lu Jing just ignored it, there were things he simply didn’t want to bring up again.
After all, that could well be a shadow that would linger for a lifetime.
"Don’t call me that in front of my parents!"
"So what should I call you?" the man teased.
"Just my name is fine!"
He was sure not to make the same mistake again.
That recent "Lu’er" had even startled Lu Jing himself, thankfully he managed to smooth it over.
Jiang Ye, however, deliberately uttered:
Lu Jing’s anger surged from his feet to the top of his head:
"What exactly are you trying to do?" he asked, word by word.
Because he feared Mr. Lu and Lu’s mother would hear, he had to keep his voice very low.
The old couple had gone to the kitchen by now, emboldening the man even more, and he daringly reached out to grab Lu Jing’s arm:
"Lu’er, give me a straight answer."
"What straight answer?"
While speaking, he was pulling his wrist away.
Actually, it wasn’t that he couldn’t guess, it was deliberate.
Sure enough, the man scoffed:
"What do you think? When are you giving me a proper status?"
Still, it took him a while to recover:
"Have you gone mad? What are you thinking?"
"What, you’re not planning to keep me hanging forever, are you?"
Or just friends with benefits?
Jiang Ye must be mad to agree to such terms.
Absolutely impossible!
Lu Jing’s mouth twitched several times:
"Didn’t we agree to talk about this later?" he said sulkily.
Jiang Ye hummed again:
"And how long is ’later’, huh?"
Lu Jing took a step back under pressure before he could steady himself:
"I don’t know," he said weakly. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel•fire.net
This statement was indeed no lie, no deception.
Jiang Ye pressed closer again:
"Do you really not know?" he asked.
Can you not stand so close? My parents are still here!"
Did this man really not fear being seen?
That would be surprising.
Someone would actually be thrilled to be discovered immediately.
"All right, all right, how about I give you a few more days to think it over?"
"How about not, just move aside!"
A few days would pass in the blink of an eye, but this man seemed quite optimistic.
Jiang Ye didn’t move, but Lu Jing did, pushing the man away.
Just then, the old couple also came out of the kitchen, carrying freshly washed dishes and cutlery:
"Xiao Ye, come have dinner."
Lu Jing quivered his lips: Who are their real offspring here? This man isn’t even your son-in-law yet!
How had he let some shameless person influence him?
Fortunately, the man didn’t cause any trouble during dinner, and Lu Jing ate with his heart in his throat.
After eating, he finally asked:
"Mom, Dad, how long are you planning to stay here this time?"
Lu’s mother put down her chopsticks and glanced at her husband:
"Your dad and I are planning to stay here for a week with you, it’s rare for us to gather as a family of three."
It had been six years, and Mr. Lu’s work also meant he was often away.
This was a truly rare opportunity.
"Okay, I’ll plan some sightseeing routes for you after work, there are many fun places in Nanxi City."
However, Mr. Lu gestured with his hand:
"Don’t trouble yourself, Xiao Ye has already taken care of everything."
Lu Jing couldn’t help but give a sidelong glance at someone, eyes shooting daggers.
As for Jiang Ye, he remained calm throughout, steady as an old dog.
It was just that slight smile at the corner of his mouth, quite secretive.
Lu Jing was so mad he didn’t even want to talk, and glanced again at his own parents.
Great, the old couple who were usually sharp as tacks had been completely fooled this time.
