Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 729 When did taking a bath take so long
"Hmm, Awan."
Feeling a bit guilty.
Who is Jiang Ye?
He could tell something was amiss right away.
He closed the door, tossed the keys, changed shoes, the whole series of actions.
Then he went to wash his face before coming out of the bathroom.
"How come Miss Dai is looking for you?" he asked.
It really wasn’t her.
"Who told you she was looking for me?"
"Oh?"
Looking intrigued.
Lu Jing curled his lip and rolled his eyes:
"Don’t tell me you don’t know about the Dai Family going bankrupt?"
Only a complete fool would believe that.
This guy is always in the know, what doesn’t he know?
Besides, it was on the news. Wouldn’t those who watch the news daily have seen it?
"I know."
He didn’t deny it.
Denying it would be pointless, wouldn’t it just underestimate his wife’s intelligence?
He might even get hit for that.
Sure enough, Lu Jing glared:
"You knew and you didn’t tell me?"
For so long, and he hadn’t mentioned it at all?
Man, that’s too much!
The more Lu Jing thought about it, the angrier he got, his glare practically shooting flames.
Jiang Ye paused:
"I didn’t want to make you overthink it. Besides, the Dai Group went bankrupt, and it was taken over by someone internal, not a stranger. Isn’t that just transferring from the left hand to the right?"
What was there to worry about?
Didn’t you see the shareholders aren’t worried at all?
If it had been acquired by an outsider, not just the shareholders, but the stock market might have exploded.
Every time this guy spoke, Lu Jing found herself unable to retort; his reasoning was sound.
Yet, she was still mad.
Suddenly, she pinched his arm hard.
"Ouch!"
Hearing him gasp in pain was somewhat satisfying.
"Next time you hide something from me, just you wait."
Tsk tsk.
Jiang Ye, rubbing his arm, pitifully said:
"I won’t dare, I won’t ever dare again."
"Hmph, go take a shower, you stink."
Stink?
Jiang Ye sniffed his arm, it was winter and he hadn’t been on the field today, there really wasn’t any smell.
Clearly, she was just picking a fight!
Jiang Ye couldn’t help but laugh and cry:
"Alright, alright, I’m going to shower."
After all, he was still carrying their little one. Might as well just agree.
It wasn’t worth arguing over something so trivial.
He was going to shower soon anyway, sooner or later.
Seeing that he was being compliant, Lu Jing decided to ease up:
"Hurry up then."
It wasn’t until he actually got up and left that Lu Jing relaxed, proceeding to engage with her tablet.
Mainly she checked the news about the Dai Group, opening each previously unread item and visiting the Dai Group’s official website.
Looking at it, it turned out just as he had said. While slightly unstable, overall, it was nothing worrisome.
In that case, there was nothing to be anxious about.
...
Half an hour passed.
Staying in one position for so long, her shoulders had gone numb.
She put down the tablet, stood up, and stretched a bit.
Suddenly, something occurred to her.
Her gaze shifted toward the bathroom, she muttered softly:
"He’s been in there for half an hour, hasn’t he? If not, it’s been at least twenty minutes."
When had she ever seen him take such a long shower?
Usually, it was five minutes, head to toe, all done.
"Jiang Ye?" she called out.
As she called, she walked over and knocked directly on the door:
"What are you doing?"
Click, the door opened.
Their eyes met, and it took a moment to register.
However, it was clear he had been out for a while; unlike usual, he wasn’t dripping wet.
