"Xiao Lu, don’t overthink things or you’ll be playing right into the hands of those vixens outside."
The harsh words were not without reason; in fact, it was the truth.
Lu Jing felt like laughing:
"Ahem, sister-in-law, I’m not overthinking."
The sense of security provided by that certain someone had always been more than sufficient, so Lu Jing’s heart had always been steady.
Seeing this, Mrs. Qin felt much more relaxed:
"Good, as long as you’re not overthinking, everything will be explained clearly when Captain Jiang is less busy!"
As someone who had been through it all, Mrs. Qin wasn’t unfamiliar with these situations; it used to happen quite often in the early days.
There were arguments back then, making the couple’s relationship very tense until the higher-ups had to intervene.
It’s only in these past few years that these troubles seemed to fade away, after all, with the kids being so grown up, who had the energy for it?
After staying for a while longer, Mrs. Qin eventually left.
Once she was gone, Lu Jing just sat on the sofa, zoned out.
What on earth was that stinking man up to now?
Two days had passed, his phone was unreachable, and there was no news.
Didn’t he know how worried his family would be?
But even so, there was nothing to do but wait.
This probably was just the helplessness of being a firefighter’s spouse.
It wasn’t just firefighters’ families; military and police families faced the same situation.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the fourth day since Jiang Ye had left.
The trending search that had calmed down two days ago, today unexpectedly popped up again, revolving around Captain Jiang and Superstar Qu.
The two of them were once again trending across the entire network. Google seaʀᴄh noᴠelfire.net
This time, the netizens were in an uproar, especially the fans of Superstar Qu, who were now openly calling Jiang Ye their brother-in-law.
Given Jiang Ye’s looks, it was no surprise that no one had any objections; most male celebrities in the entertainment industry simply paled in comparison.
Lu Jing might have tolerated it the last time, but that didn’t mean he could remain indifferent this time.
He was so angry he almost threw his phone when suddenly, a new trending search appeared online with the official account of Nanxi City Fire Brigade.
--"We apologize for the misunderstanding, but we would like to clarify that our Captain Jiang is married!"
This news was more explosive than the previous ones.
The server even crashed.
It wasn’t until several minutes later that it recovered.
And within those minutes, Lu Jing had already made a decision to apply for a spot to do volunteer medical services in the mountainous area, which his director immediately approved without needing any further authorization.
And he would be departing soon.
Lu Jing just wanted to distance himself from the news and trending searches; after all, it was genuinely infuriating!
Half an hour later, Lu Jing, with his luggage, got on the hospital’s shuttle bus.
As the shuttle bus started its journey, a black off-road vehicle drove by from the opposite direction, carrying Jiang Ye and a few others returning from their business trip.
Obviously, neither party noticed the other.
The black off-road vehicle stopped at the fire brigade, and Jiang Ye got out immediately:
"You all go ahead, I’m heading home for a bit."
Saying this, he hurried towards the family quarters building.
He was in a great hurry, eager to return home.
On the way, he ran into a fellow firefighter’s spouse:
"Captain Jiang’s back?"
"Missing Doctor Lu, aren’t you? Hurry home then!"
Facing such blatant teasing, Jiang Ye didn’t even blush, instead, he nodded and agreed, going along with it.
