CHAPTER 576: CHAPTER 576: IT REALLY IS QUITE EARLY

Lu Jing pursed her lips:

"It’s getting late, let’s rest."

Although she didn’t feel sleepy at all, just because she wasn’t resting didn’t mean someone else shouldn’t. What if there was an emergency call tomorrow?

Firefighters, once they step out of the station, who could guarantee there wouldn’t be any danger?

So, sleeping well at night at least ensured that the next day you could try to avoid any lapse in concentration.

Jiang Ye grunted:

"Okay."

His wife had spoken, could he even argue?

Both of them washed up simply and then returned to the bedroom.

...

Lu Jing really couldn’t fall asleep, lying in bed with her eyes open, her mind repeatedly going back to that little girl.

What kind of family could she possibly come from?

Or what kind of person would be cruel enough to harm a child so young?

Jiang Ye originally didn’t want to disturb her, knowing well that his wife wouldn’t be in a good mood tonight. Just calm down and let go, right?

But the person beside him kept tossing and turning, and with such a commotion, Jiang Ye was not a piece of wood; he certainly felt it.

He reached out and pulled her close:

"Whatever is bothering you, come on, talk to your man."

Lu Jing pushed back twice, but when she couldn’t push him away, she gave up:

"It’s nothing, go to sleep."

Jiang Ye cracked a smile:

"If you don’t sleep, how can I?"

Lu Jing found a comfortable position in the man’s arms:

"I just can’t understand, how can some people be so cruel?

You know, that little girl was so cute.

Her wounds were clearly caused by external forces."

Jiang Ye listened to her narrative very attentively, his frown deepening:

"The law is just!"

If anyone dared to break the law, then they should wait to face its punishment; no one could escape.

Lu Jing hummed vaguely, whether in belief or doubt.

Jiang Ye tightened his embrace:

"Let’s sleep."

"Okay."

...

The next day.

Lu Jing woke up early, only to find that someone was no longer by her side.

She slept so deeply that her head was all muzzy and uncomfortable.

However, this discomfort didn’t last long before a knocking sound suddenly erupted.

’Bang bang bang!’

Hmm?

Lu Jing got out of bed and came out of the bedroom:

"Who is it?" she muttered to herself.

When she opened the door, she was enveloped in a big hug.

"Sister-in-law!"

Hiss, Jiang Yuan?

Why is this girl here so early?

Once she recovered, Lu Jing asked:

"Why are you here so early? You could have told me in advance, so your brother could have picked you up."

Jiang Yuan thought: I wouldn’t dare to ask my brother to pick me up, wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?

"I missed you, so I took the first flight in the morning."

Lu Jing checked the time, it was just past eight, not yet nine. So, this girl caught a flight at five in the morning?

That was really unusually early!

Jiang Yuan was excited:

"Sister-in-law, starting today, I’m going to be staying at your place, hehehe."

This had been agreed upon a long time ago, so Lu Jing wasn’t surprised.

It was just that they had come back so late yesterday that she hadn’t had time to tidy up the house.

Oh well.

"Wait a second, I’ll call your brother."

Jiang Yuan meant to say there was no rush, but Lu Jing had already turned around to grab her phone.

...

When Jiang Ye received his wife’s call, he had just come out of the cafeteria, carrying the breakfast he had just gotten.

This was a special stir-fry made just for him by the old squad leader, not the usual communal pot fare.

Captain Jiang doted on his wife, and here he was, rarely pulling strings for a backdoor favor.
