Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 718: Is it a Boy or a Girl?
For a time, both of them sighed deeply.
Up until now, aside from Gu Cheng knocking on their door, no one else from the Gu Family had stirred, most likely still too scared to confront Jiang Ye.
In the entire Jiang Family, the last person anyone wanted to provoke was Jiang Ye.
This was something many people knew.
Despite not inheriting the Jiang Family’s companies, Jiang Ye was still truly the first heir of the Jiang Family.
Even Jiang Huai had to stand in the second place.
Moreover, the title of "Crown Prince" had been renowned since childhood—who wouldn’t feel timid?
Over the years, including the last time, hadn’t the Gu Family only sent Jiang Qiu?
And Jiang Qiu, he never dared to act recklessly in front of Jiang Ye, only daring to find Lu Jing.
It seems, indeed, one only picks the softest persimmons to squeeze.
Thinking of this, Lu Jing couldn’t help but chuckle.
Fortunately, Jiang Qiu wouldn’t be able to bother them this time since he was being detained.
As for the Gu Family, without thought one could guess that they were likely wearing down Old Sir Jiang.
But their effectiveness, well, that greatly diminished.
"We still have time, rest for an hour when we get back, and I’ll wake you when it’s time."
Hmm?
As Lu Jing pondered, a man’s voice suddenly rang in her ear.
"Ah? Oh, are you busy today?" she asked.
Indeed, he had left that morning in such a hurry he hadn’t even had time for breakfast.
A flash of something quickly crossed Jiang Ye’s face:
"Ahem, yes, the team has been quite busy lately."
Hearing that there was work in the team, Lu Jing didn’t inquire further; she understood the principle of confidentiality after all these years.
"Alright then, but you must ensure you take moments to rest, even if it’s just standing up to stretch a little," she said.
Noticing the concern in the woman’s voice, Jiang Ye felt a sense of gratification and satisfaction:
"Sure, I’ll listen to my wife."
Lu Jing cast a glance and said no more.
The car had reached the entrance of the unit, and after driving in, Lu Jing got out early:
"You go ahead with your work, I can walk the rest of the way back."
"Really?"
"What else could it be, boiled? Go on with your busy day!"
Alright then.
It was only then that Jiang Ye drove into the parking lot, while Lu Jing walked unhurriedly towards the family buildings.
Along the way, she even ran into the neighboring old lady, who was very concerned:
"Xiao Lu, make sure you walk slowly."
Lu Jing felt she was already walking quite slowly, but it still seemed too fast in the eyes of the old lady.
The old lady lived in the same block, and they walked together on the way home:
"Three months now, right?" she asked.
Lu Jing nodded:
"Yes, soon."
The old lady beamed with joy:
"Your child with Captain Jiang will surely be beautiful. If it’s a girl, I’ll be truly envious."
Well, the couple did have exceptionally good looks.
With that said, Lu Jing began to look forward to it herself.
"A boy or a girl, either is fine," she replied.
There was no preference for a son over a daughter, nor vice versa; these things should just be left to fate.
Regardless of gender, isn’t the child yours?
Thus, she couldn’t comprehend those who were adamant about having sons—what kind of mentality was that?
What era were they living in anyway?
The old lady continued to inquire:
"Is the baby quite active?"
Lu Jing shook her head:
"Not really active."
Aside from feeling nauseated the day she found out about her pregnancy, she hadn’t really been sick at all.
Compared to last time, this was far more comfortable.
The child from six years ago was a torment, making her sick constantly starting at just over a month into the pregnancy.
She couldn’t eat anything, even the sight of food was repulsive.
Her temper was irritable, and her thoughts were a tumultuous mess.
But this time, those symptoms seemed to be absent, didn’t they?
Looking at it this way, perhaps it really could be a little girl.
