Lu Jing was feeling depressed:
"I’ll eat if I want to eat, can he control that?"
"Don’t act tough, aren’t you just henpecked? There’s nothing to be embarrassed about, right?"
Indeed, there was nothing to be embarrassed about. It was just pretty funny.
Normally, what you heard most was about men being henpecked, and then suddenly there was this ’wife-pecked’ situation.
Liu Yuan laughed so hard her stomach hurt, leaning on the wall for support.
Lu Jing was speechless, super speechless, and then also a bit embarrassed. She wanted to retort, but she couldn’t.
As for whether it was the husband or wife wearing the pants, it’s not like she was losing a piece of flesh.
Really, wasn’t it all because the other person cared about you?
Hmph, this woman was just envious and resentful!
After coming to this realization, she didn’t feel as awkward anymore:
"Miss Liu, have you laughed enough?"
Liu Yuan had been laughing for a while and wasn’t as exaggerated as before:
"Alright, alright, let’s go."
The two didn’t leave the mall and went straight to the restaurant on the fifth floor.
After some deliberation, they finally entered a rabbit meat hot pot restaurant. Follow current novels on novᴇlfire.net
Once seated, they ordered a two-person set meal.
"Lu Lu, you’re not working tonight, right?"
"Yep, I’m working tomorrow morning."
She had already done a week’s worth of night shifts, okay?
If she continued, she would probably drop dead.
"How about we go see a movie after dinner?"
She didn’t have any other plans anyway.
Besides, they didn’t need to go far; there was a cinema on the top floor, very convenient.
The two girls took a bit longer to eat.
But before they had finished, they heard the sound of fire engines outside.
The people inside the restaurant all got up to look out the window:
"Eh, where’s the fire?"
"Over there, just across, there’s smoke!"
"Oh my, it really is. That’s not a small amount of smoke. Has everyone made it out?"
"Who knows, I’m going to have a look."
A swarm of people headed downstairs to see what was happening.
Liu Yuan’s eyes spun around:
"Lu Lu, do you think it could be your Captain Jiang’s team?"
"That’s too much of a coincidence."
"Who’s to say? What if it is? Come on, let’s go down too."
They had finished eating a while ago and had paid first. They could leave whenever they wanted.
Lu Jing was dragged downstairs by Liu Yuan, and they didn’t dare take the elevator; they used the stairs instead.
By the time the two got downstairs, it had been several minutes.
The area was already packed with people, and a large circle of caution tape had been set up.
"We can’t see anything from here!" Liu Yuan remarked with dismay.
Lu Jing didn’t want to push through the crowd:
"Why don’t we just forget it? There are too many people, it’s not safe, and there’s a risk of asphyxiation."
As expected of a doctor!
But Liu Yuan was always , loving a ruckus and eager to get close to the action.
Lu Jing was thus pulled by Liu Yuan into the throng:
"Excuse me, could you let us through?"
In the end, they actually managed to squeeze to the very front.
From a distance, Lu Jing recognized several of the team members.
It was indeed familiar faces.
However, at that moment, the firefighters were all busy, and none of them noticed Lu Jing in the crowd.
Even Jiang Ye didn’t see her.
Seeing the people, Liu Yuan excitedly tugged at Lu Jing’s hand:
"Lu Lu, look, it’s your Captain Jiang!"
"I know, don’t distract them."
It’s not good to be distracted under such circumstances.
"Okay, okay, I understand."
For Lu Jing, this was indeed the first time seeing the scene of a fire firsthand, and the first time she witnessed Jiang Ye and his team in action.
