Lu Jing reached the door before it dawned on him what he’d done. He stopped dead in his tracks, his hand already on the doorknob, itching to pull it back.
Wait, why did he even come to open the door?
Whoever was knocking, they definitely weren’t looking for him.
Besides, there wasn’t anyone else in the house, just the two of them.
At this moment, the person on the sofa said with a smile, "The person outside is still waiting."
Lu Jing took a couple of deep breaths before he twisted the doorknob.
Outside, the first thing that caught his eye was a large box, followed by a pair of long legs.
"Old Jiang, I brought you a box of cherries from our hometown..."
He halted mid-sentence, suddenly realizing something was off.
The box pressed down slightly, and a head popped up.
For a moment, their eyes met.
Lu Jing’s face was pretty awkward,
"Cough, he’s inside."
Saying so, he stepped aside.
Old Qin forcibly closed his gaping mouth, his smile distorted,
"Oh! Great! Alright!"
After regaining his composure, he suddenly added, "So the sister-in-law is here, perfect, why don’t you both come over for dinner at my place tonight?"
Jiang Ye spoke up before the words of refusal could escape Lu Jing’s lips,
"Sure, I heard you got some nice stuff sent over?"
"It’s okay, just half a wild boar, two lamb legs, and these cherries."
Jiang Ye had actually received a box of cherries from Old Qin’s hometown every year and was quite accustomed to it.
Qin Minghan set down the box and brushed off his pant legs,
"Alright, I’ve delivered the stuff, and the mission my wife gave me is completed. I won’t disturb you and your sister-in-law any longer, I’m off now."
Jiang Ye nodded, The most update n0vels are published on ⓝovelFire.net
As Qin Minghan passed by Lu Jing, his smile finally less twisted,
"Sister-in-law, you definitely must come tonight!"
He couldn’t refuse anymore.
He had been asked twice already, which definitely showed respect.
Suddenly, he felt like there was a rock on his foot that he couldn’t move away from.
The door closed again.
Lu Jing’s eyes were shooting fire as he turned to the man sitting on the sofa,
"It’s really not my fault, you opened the door, and Old Qin invited you personally, I didn’t do anything."
"Yes, you didn’t do anything.
But when he called me sister-in-law, I didn’t notice you denying it!"
According to Jiang Ye, he’d never deny it!
He seriously responded,
"Isn’t that how it should be?"
In Jiang Ye’s heart, Lu Jing had always been his woman and that had never changed.
"Who says it should?"
Jiang Ye couldn’t stop laughing,
"Alright, alright, if not today, then sooner or later!"
Was he doing this on purpose?
Definitely on purpose!
Lu Jing was so angry he couldn’t even speak, just glaring wide-eyed.
But the intensity of that glare was soft and fluffy, not powerful at all.
Jiang Ye came over from the sofa, opened the box to take a look, and then asked the woman,
"Want some cherries?" with a cheeky smile.
She was all fumed up.
Yet the man gently said,
"I remember you liked them when you were young?"
Lu Jing was instantly choked up,
"What I like has nothing to do with you!"
Okay, maybe that was a bit capricious!
Jiang Ye seemed to have felt something but indulged her anyway.
He crouched down, picked a cherry, and popped it into his mouth,
"The cherries from Old Qin’s hometown are really sweet, sure you won’t try?"
Lu Jing huffed twice,
"No, you eat them yourself!"
What man would actually like these things?
Just tasting them was enough, usually, he ended up giving them away.
