CHAPTER 536: CHAPTER 536: FEAR OF MARRIAGE?

Leaving the old house, it was already pitch-dark outside.

"Brother, sister-in-law, no need to see us out, it’s not far."

Lu Yan and Bai Luo each held a child and stopped at the door:

"Alright, then we won’t walk you out. Come by when you have time."

"Sure, got it."

When you have time, that would probably have to wait until the next visit.

If nothing unexpected happened, that would be the Spring Festival.

This time it was all so sudden, he had to fly back by tomorrow noon at the latest, and resume his shift at five in the afternoon.

After walking a good distance, Jiang Ye finally reached out and wrapped his arm around the woman’s waist:

"Wife."

"Hmm?"

"Your brother had quite a talk with me today."

Lu Jing could tell there was more to the story:

"Oh? What did you talk about?" she asked.

The man smiled and relayed the conversation Lu Yan had had with him in the study.

These were not his own words but his brother-in-law’s, so naturally, he felt no pressure.

After finishing, he stared unblinkingly at the woman in front of him.

Lu Jing frowned under his gaze and finally had to turn her face away slightly:

"Could you not look at me like that?"

"What? Does your man make you that unbearable to look at?"

Hisss~

Look at how he put it.

"That’s enough, don’t pull that with me."

Others might not understand this man, but could Lu Jing not?

He was nothing but trouble!

Caught out, Jiang Ye wasn’t embarrassed and was quite at ease:

"Alright, alright, back to the main topic, what do you really think? Even if I don’t rush you, your family has started to."

And that was indeed the case.

At first, they were pushing her to find a partner, then to get married, and once married, it would be about having children!

How did this become a nationwide uniform pattern?

It’s even more uniform than official mandates!

Lu Jing sighed:

"I don’t have time right now."

That was the main issue.

Jiang Ye laughed upon hearing this:

"You don’t need to prepare anything."

Were all those people under the Jiang family just sitting around idly?

Then why pay them such high wages?

Anyway, as long as this woman said the word or nodded, Jiang Ye could immediately give the orders.

But, Lu Jing still hesitated.

"It’s too fast."

Lu Jing herself wasn’t clear if she really feared marriage.

Otherwise, why did she always want to evade whenever this subject came up?

Fast?

Hearing this reply, Jiang Ye frowned:

"What’s fast about it?"

It’s not like the two of them had just met; they had known each other for so many years, hadn’t they?

And the time they had spent together wasn’t short either, was it?

Discussing marriage was perfectly normal!

"Well, I can’t quite articulate it, it’s just..."

"Fear? Nervousness?"

"Yes."

"What are you afraid of? What makes you nervous?"

Yes, what was there to be afraid of and get nervous about?

But one’s thoughts are hard to control.

"I..."

"Fear that I would treat you badly after marriage?"

"That’s part of it," Lu Jing replied in a low voice.

But this irritated the man in front of her:

"What’s always going through your head, huh? I would treat you badly? I’d treat myself badly before I ever treated you badly!"

His tone was quite intense, and his volume increased considerably.

Lu Jing didn’t want the spectacle of a public argument, so she reached out and grabbed the man:

"Let’s go home and talk about it."

Such matters couldn’t be discussed openly.

It was better to sit down and talk it through slowly.

Besides, it might also give her the chance to clear her mind.

Jiang Ye didn’t make a fuss and followed the woman obediently.

Soon, they arrived at the Lu Mansion.
