Can't Take My Eyes Off You

"Then, what do you want to do if you don't want to go back to school?" Lu Yuqing spoke again, but this

time, she sounded gentler because she could sense the sincerity in Jiang Yao's remark.

Jiang Yao took a moment to glance at Lu Xingzhi and slowly said as everyone at the table was waiting

for her answer, "This year, I want to stay at home and make a baby!" 19

"Puff! Cough cough!"

Lu Xingzhi choked on a mouthful of rice and coughed out the rice, his face flustered and blood-red.

Jiang Yao was surprised and quickly passed her bowl to him. "Hurry up and drink some soup!" She

patted Lu Xingzhi's back gently and glanced at him with a frown, worried. "Are you okay? Catch your

breath, breathe slowly."

The other members at the table were dumbstruck. Everyone was looking at her with their eyes wide

and their mouths agape.

Jiang Yao did not expect Lu Xingzhi to have such a tremendous reaction to her remark that he would

choke on his food.

After a while, Lu Xingzhi shook his head to indicate he was feeling better. He looked at the bowl of

soup that he drank. He took a second look and noticed that the bowl was Jiang Yao's.

The cutlery and utensils on the dining table in the Lu family were standard. Each person had a bowl, a

pair of chopsticks, and a spoon respectively. It seemed that Jiang Yao was really anxious as she

passed her bowl over to him in a hurry, with worry and concern written all over her pretty little face.

Lu Xingzhi concluded that his wife had really turned over a new leaf. Previously, it would be his sister or

parents who poured him water, and she would not let him touch her bowl at all.

"What did you just say? You want to have kids?" This statement was the most shocking discovery

today. "Are you saying that you want kids?"

"Yes! Why? Don't you want to?" Jiang Yao asked him back, knowing full well that Lu Xingzhi wanted a

child more badly than anyone else in the family. In the previous life, he might have been thinking about

this until the day he died. Hence, she decided that since she would spend another year retaking the

exam, she might as well give him a child along the way.

She was sure that the family could afford a baby. When she goes to college, she would leave the child

with Mr. and Mrs. Lu. When they go to work during the day, they could hire a babysitter to look after the

child or ask for her parents' help.

Mrs. Lu regained her composure. She was still surprised at the remark but she was over the moon.

It wasn't because she was eager to have a grandchild, but from Jiang Yao's sudden change of attitude,

she could sense that Jiang Yao had changed. She was no longer as indifferent to Lu Xingzhi as she

had previously been.

"You guys go ahead, Jiang Yao, come with me!" Lu Xingzhi exclaimed as he slammed down the bowl.

He growled at Jiang Yao, pulled her by the arm, and went to the yard.

Lu Yuqing watched as Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao went out of the house and to the yard. She shuddered ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

and said to Mrs. Lu sitting next to her, "D*mn, I think my brother will scold Jiang Yao out there."

"That silly boy." Mr. Lu chuckled. "Yes, I think he'll scold her like one of his subordinates. Don't mind

them, let's eat. Let them take care of their own business."

Jiang Yao walked to the yard behind Lu Xingzhi. At this time, the scorching sun was hanging right

above their heads and the yard was hot. Moreover, she could feel an enormous force emitting from Lu

Xingzhi but it didn't feel like a rage of fury. Hence, she was a little confused about what his feelings

were right now.

Indeed, Lu Xingzhi was worried that the sun would be too hot for Jiang Yao, so he took her to stand

under the grapevine. He turned around, glared at Jiang Yao, and asked coldly, "What were you

thinking?"
