CHAPTER 541: CHAPTER 542: DON’T WANT THE WIFE TO BE UNHAPPY

Sss!

Couldn’t help but inhale several breaths of cool air.

Then he tried to move slowly a few times, feeling that each movement caused his old arms and legs to creak loudly.

So annoyed, he directly grabbed a pillow from nearby and threw it at someone.

The man, as if he had eyes on the back of his head, caught the pillow accurately the moment it was thrown.

"Wife, what’s wrong now?"

Lu Jing rolled his eyes:

"It’s all your doing!"

Right now, everything on his body ached terribly.

Thinking back, he hadn’t been this excited for a long time.

Maybe it was because of old age; he couldn’t handle it anymore.

Jiang Ye, no matter how smart, couldn’t possibly guess everyone’s thoughts accurately.

For instance, right now, he couldn’t understand what was on the woman’s mind.

Why was her facial expression changing so quickly?

Cough cough.

"I was wrong."

No matter what, just admit fault first!

Women don’t need actual right or wrong; they just want your attitude.

As long as the attitude is right, there are no problems.

Jiang Ye had long understood this and was quite adept at applying it.

But, the question he hadn’t had a chance to ask last night could possibly be asked now.

"Wife, what exactly did you promise Grandpa yesterday?"

Lu Jing was originally twisting her wrist but stopped abruptly:

"Why are you asking that?"

The man smiled:

"Just asking."

Lu Jing glanced at him:

"It’s nothing big."

She said it lightly, but what kind of person was Jiang Ye?

After so long, he could somewhat guess.

"That old man didn’t ask you to give him a great-grandson, did he?"

At this question, Lu Jing clearly widened her eyes:

"You..."

It just so happened he had guessed right.

Jiang Ye looked at the woman’s subtle expressions, gave a slight tug at the corner of his mouth, then spoke:

"Don’t listen to him."

Hmm.

How could she really not listen?

The man sat back down beside the bed and grasped the woman’s palm:

"Wife, don’t mind what other people think, whether it’s my grandpa, my parents, or your parents."

Implicit meaning: I haven’t pressured you, and that should be enough.

Lu Jing fell silent for a few seconds before looking up at the man:

"Do you think that’s possible?" she retorted.

As if not caring could just happen instantly.

And besides, even if she could disregard others, what about herself?

Not being able to conceive was something Lu Jing always dwelled on deeply in her heart!

Jiang Ye gripped her hand tighter:

"Alright, I’ll go talk to them."

If the wife feels embarrassed to say something, then he would say it.

In short, the opinions and thoughts of others should not affect his wife.

Considering last night’s situation, Jiang Ye definitely didn’t want his fine wife to be driven to any trouble.

Lu Jing wasn’t ungrateful; after all, the man had always been considerate of her.

"How will you say it?" she asked quietly.

Then she heard the man say:

"What else can I say? Just say it directly, tell them to stop bothering you."

Pfft.

Lu Jing laughed:

"Enough already, it’s not necessary; this is a common issue."

She had grown used to it.

So, there really was no need to make everyone look bad.

Everyone would be unhappy, harboring a thorn in their hearts, and over time, it could lead to serious problems.

"But I don’t want my wife to be unhappy."

Everything boils down to one premise: keeping his wife happy, joyful!

Otherwise, the Crown Prince would not just stand by and watch.
