In the canteen of the fire brigade, a few team members who were close by stopped eating their meals and quickly gathered together after they saw the "Great Demon" Jiang leave.
"It’s definitely a woman, I swear!"
"How can you be so sure?" someone asked.
"Think about it, when have you ever seen Devil Jiang with such a lovestruck expression?"
Isn’t he usually the one with an ice-cold face that could freeze you to death?
Everyone carefully thought it over, and then, as if they had all come to the same realization, they shivered simultaneously.
"So, Demon Jiang’s got something going on?
Which woman has that much moxie?"
Is this a classic case of whatever controls another?
Everyone was dying of curiosity.
Outside the canteen, Jiang Ye stood by the flowerbed:
"Doctor Lu?" he called out softly, deliberately elongating the end of his words.
That tone gave anyone listening goosebumps.
Lu Jing shuddered before responding:
"Jiang Ye, are you sick?"
Sometimes it’s like that, the moment you’re interrupted and speak again, it just doesn’t sound the same.
Mingming was furious just a moment ago, but now it seemed like her anger had somewhat subsided.
Yet, the man said quietly, almost wistfully,
"Don’t you know if I’m sick?"
Why should I care about what’s happening with you?
Also, stop ordering takeout for me, our hospital has a staff cafeteria!"
You could hear that not only did she speed up her words, but her voice had also become much sharper.
On the phone, Lu Jing was so angry that her chest heaved.
From childhood to adulthood, she’d never been this temperamental before; it seemed that since returning to the country, these incidences were happening more frequently, and always because of the same person!
Just then, the man suddenly asked:
"Is there an issue with the food not suiting your tastes?"
"If there are any problems or things you don’t eat, you can tell me, and I’ll have them adjust it."

He wanted to continue?
Lu Jing’s pupils dilated instantly, and her face cracked slightly as she lowered her tone:
"What exactly do you want? I’ve told you, I don’t need it!"
"And your reason is?"
He had the nerve to ask for a reason?
Who has ever heard of an ex ordering takeout every day six years after breaking up?
In truth, Lu Jing could see what Jiang Ye meant, but she just didn’t want to, and couldn’t, accept it!
Some hurts, even after many years, remain clearly etched in memory; the pain and sorrow are never forgotten, the heart still aches, tears still involuntarily flow, and she didn’t want to waste any more limited time and energy on this.
"Jiang Ye, we broke up, how many times do I have to tell you?"
Shouldn’t a qualified ex be like they’re dead and completely vanish from the other’s life?
Whenever those words were mentioned, Jiang Ye couldn’t help but clench his teeth:
"Lu Jing, why don’t you remember properly; when did I ever agree to our breakup?"
Back then, after sending the breakup text, Lu Jing directly snapped her SIM card and boarded a plane, and that was for a whole six years.
So, she really didn’t know whether he had ever replied.
But no matter what, six years had passed, wasn’t that already a fact?
Seeing that there was no reply on the phone for a long time, Jiang Ye sneered and continued,
"If only you hadn’t gone abroad back then, Lu Jing, do you believe that I would have definitely dragged you back?"
