It was just a cut, and it had already scabbed over. After disinfecting it, all that was left was to put on a waterproof bandage.
After everything was taken care of, Lu Jing finally asked,
"How did you get this?"
Jiang Ye didn’t dare admit that it was from fighting, did he?
Playing dumb was the way to go.
That way, his wife couldn’t possibly keep pressing him for answers, could she?
What married couple doesn’t know each other’s little secrets?
Lu Jing couldn’t be bothered to probe deeper and took the tidied-up medicine kit back to its place.
As for the living room, it was just the siblings left, staring at each other.
"Go on, what was the deal tonight?"
Jiang Yuan pressed her lips together tight:
"Brother, don’t you already know?"
It was all over the hot searches online; she didn’t believe for a second that this guy didn’t know.
His questioning was purely accusatory.
Of course, because he was angry!
But why not question his wife? Why come after her instead?
Doesn’t he know how timid she is?
But it seemed like he indeed came specifically to ask her. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs NovelHub(.)net
Ask his wife, and would his wife honestly tell him?
So, it’s better to ask the sister!
If Jiang Yuan knew what was going through Jiang Ye’s mind, she would definitely mock him: Picking on the softer target again!
Then Jiang Ye might casually reply, "You’re just realizing that now?"
"Well, my sister-in-law and I were just waiting for a cab on the side of the road when that group of drunks started causing trouble.
Then my sister-in-law told me to call the police, and my phone got snatched.
Luckily, a nearby patrol officer arrived just in time, and we all went to the Police Station to give our statements. After that, it was all fine!"
Indeed, that was the whole story.
But what Jiang Ye wanted to ask wasn’t that.
"I’m asking, why didn’t you notify me immediately?"
Jiang Yuan was at a loss:
"Well, uh, my sister-in-law said you might be busy at work today, and since nothing really serious happened, she didn’t want to disturb you."
Jiang Ye started to laugh, but there wasn’t a hint of tenderness in it.
"Okay, I got it. You can go back to your room now."
"Brother, you’re not going to give my sister-in-law trouble, are you?"
As a younger sister-in-law, she was genuinely worried.
After all, his wife was truly kind!
She could rest easy though; even if her brother intended to trouble his wife, it wouldn’t be the kind of trouble she imagined!
His patience was truly worn thin!
Jiang Yuan hastily scampered away.
Going back to her room, she thought about sending her sister-in-law a message to warn her, but then she remembered that her phone was in the living room.
If she sent it, her brother would definitely see it.
Tonight, her sister-in-law would just have to fend for herself.
Although Lu Jing had no clue what the siblings had discussed during the short time he was away,
seeing the vast living room with only his lone figure remaining, the little sister-in-law nowhere to be seen, he could guess from the tips of his toes that it was definitely this man’s doing.
"She went back to her room."
"Wife, shouldn’t we settle some scores now?"
The man stepped forward, while Lu Jing took steps back.
Until she was backed up against the wall with nowhere to retreat.
Good, was she learning from someone else?
"Don’t know? Fine, let me help you recall then?"
This recollection was not that innocent!
Especially since this foul man was already getting handsy.
Lu Jing grabbed the man’s waist:
"What are you doing? What if Xiao Yuan comes out and sees us? Have some shame!"
