Jiang Ye’s lips twitched involuntarily before he said with a laugh,
"Grandpa, you’re not that petty, are you?
People say that a prime minister’s belly should be big enough to sail a ship, but for you, it’s not just a ship—there’s plenty of room for a submarine."
Lu Jing almost couldn’t help but laugh out loud, but fortunately, she managed to cover her mouth just in time.
Since the car had already stopped, Jiang Ye leaned back in his seat and, without forgetting, played with the woman’s hand in his palm,
"Grandpa, you agree, don’t you?"
How was the old man supposed to respond to that?
Admitting it wasn’t right, and denying it wasn’t right either.
"You little rascal, are you really bullying an old man here?"
When he couldn’t win the argument, he started to play the age card, huh?
"Grandpa, I know you want to talk about Jiang Qiu’s issue; she’s your adopted daughter and has nothing to do with me.
If she doesn’t provoke me, I’ll let it slide.
But if she doesn’t watch out for herself, then she has no one else to blame."
Isn’t it better to just live your own life peacefully?
Why go out of your way to cause trouble?
"Aye, she’s watched you grow up, she’s your Aunt after all!"
Don’t even—how could I dare to have such an ’Aunt’? Whoever wants her can have her."
This disdain, is it worse than the trash in a bin?
"By the way, Grandpa, is there something going on between Jiang Qiu and the Gu Family?"
Others might not know, but the old man surely knows a thing or two.
After all, he’s Jiang Qiu’s foster father!
"You kid, what could possibly be going on with them? Stop overthinking."
Jiang Ye felt he really didn’t have such leisurely thoughts.
"Alright then, I won’t ask you, Grandpa."
Obviously, even if the old man knew, he wasn’t planning to tell.
Jiang Ye wasn’t stupid; how could he not understand?
After hanging up the phone, he couldn’t help but rub his forehead and slowly asked,
"Wife, what do you think?"
Lu Jing was somewhat puzzled:
She had been looking out the window and hadn’t paid attention to what the man had just said.
Jiang Ye tilted his head, his eyes curving up:
"Are there handsome guys outside?"
They were just some young people passing by; she hadn’t even seen their faces clearly. What handsome guys could there be?
Jiang Ye played with the woman’s hand, his grip tightening slightly,
"So you did look?" he said softly.
Lu Jing was caught off guard by a sudden pang of jealousy and pouted,
"Can we be normal, please?" she retorted.
He usually seemed so clever at work, so why did he have these silly moments in private?
And this guy was a captain?
Being mocked to his face by his wife, Captain Jiang couldn’t do much about it:
"Back to the point, wife, do you have any guesses?"
"About Jiang Qiu and the Gu Family."
Lu Jing’s pupils dilated:
"What could they possibly have?"
That shouldn’t be possible, right?
"Do you really think there’s nothing?"
Lu Jing took a deep breath and tried to keep her face calm before slowly saying,
"Nowadays, everything has to be based on evidence. Do you have any?"
Otherwise, it’s useless to suspect thousands of possibilities.
Jiang Ye shook his head:
"Then that settles it!"
Her proudly adorable behavior amused him, making him especially want to pinch, rub, and squeeze her cheek a few times.
And indeed, he reached out to do just that.
Her soft, smooth face really felt nice!
But the person being pinched was not quite pleased, slapping away the salty pig hand from her face:
"Stop getting handsy!"
