It was still somewhat awkward.
Before Jiang Ye prepared to leave, he didn’t forget to pull the woman beside him away with him.
With elders from both sides present, they would definitely handle things well.
If they stayed here, they might become the target of displaced anger.
So, out of all possible strategies, retreating was the best.
After going upstairs and back to the room.
As soon as they entered, Lu Jing got to work immediately.
"Jiang Ye, you bastard!"
She cursed while swinging her fists and kicking, a flurry of punches and kicks.
Jiang Ye didn’t dodge. Mainly because there wasn’t much force behind it; it was better to let his wife vent her anger.
"Wife, this couldn’t have been kept secret forever."
Once the Jiang family knew, there was no way it could stay hidden.
What difference would it make if it were a day earlier or later?
Lu Jing was absolutely furious:
"You knew all along, didn’t you?"
Cough cough. Chapters fırst released on novel★fire.net
"I just happened to run into your mom last night when I went downstairs to get you water," he explained.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jing held her breath for a good two seconds:
"Then why didn’t you tell me last night?"
"You looked so tired, I didn’t want to say anything."
Another kick flew his way.
This man was really despicable, not telling her anything and letting her be clueless from the start.
If she had known in advance, she could have been mentally prepared.
It wouldn’t have been like just now, when she was completely in the dark, dumbfounded, and unable to recover for half a day.
Seeing that it was about enough, Jiang Ye finally easily wrapped his arms around her:
"Alright, alright, it’s not a big deal. Why are you so worried?"
Hiss, what do you mean it’s not a big deal?
"How can you say it’s nothing? Jiang Ye, do you realize..."
Lu Jing sighed deeply before raising her head again:
"Jiang Ye, there are so many things I’m not ready for!
Now that everyone knows, I..."
What Lu Jing worried about most was that now the family knew, one could guess on their toes that the first thing she would face was—the pressure to get married!
And after the pressure to marry, it would be the pressure to get pregnant, and after that, the second child.
How could Jiang Ye not understand Lu Jing’s thoughts?
Indeed, he was even more anxious and worried about the woman’s health than she was.
"Wife, it’s really not as serious as you think.
You won’t face what you’re worried about.
Rest assured, I’ve got everything under control!"
"When have I ever not kept my word?"
Hmph, that had happened plenty of times.
Lu Jing didn’t persist:
"Hurry up and change out of your clothes!"
This man, really, had actually asked his mother to bring him clothes.
It was as if he wanted to tell everyone that he had spent the night here!
Of course, someone wished they could announce it to the whole world.
After changing clothes, they went downstairs again.
This time, the elders downstairs seemed to have agreed on something. Seeing the couple descend, Jiang’s mother was the first to call out:
"Jing, come over here."
Lu Jing glanced at her own mother for approval and then went towards Jiang’s mother:
Jiang’s mother was beaming and didn’t stop smiling. As Lu Jing approached, she quickly grabbed her and slipped off a jade bracelet from her wrist to put it on Lu Jing’s:
"This, ah, was given to me by Jiang Ye’s grandmother. Now, it’s time for it to change hands."
So, this was the Jiang family heirloom?
Indeed, it had been passed down for several generations.
"Aunt Su, this is too valuable..."
"What’s more valuable than you? Our bratty boy, in the future, you’ll have quite the task handling him."
Speaking of which, isn’t it Jiang Ye who takes care of Lu Jing even more?
