Can't Take My Eyes Off You

She grumbled in her heart. Why did those things have to be arranged for Lu Xingzhi? Why did it have to be when she was pregnant?

She still desired to spend every day with Lu Xingzhi so that he could see the fetus develop.

"Will you return after visiting Lanning? Or will you depart right away?" Jing Yao asked.

"I'll come back."

Lu Xingzhi patted Jiang Yao's head. "That is because you are involved in both matters, so I didn't want to hide it from you. But you should know..."

"I can't tell anyone. I understand." Jiang Yao made a motion like she was zipping her lips. Then, she raised her hand. She wanted to pat him on the shoulder and tell him not to worry, but it was a little awkward because she was much shorter than Lu Xingzhi. The man was two steps away from her, and her hand could not touch his shoulder. So, she could only silently pat Lu Xingzhi's arm.

Lu Xingzhi scowled as he peered at her hand, which was exposed to the sun. Then, he pushed Jiang Yao's hand back under the umbrella. "Don't bask in the sun."

"Mom will be with you in the army base during this period. When I'm not around, you must listen to Mom and Dad and take good care of yourself." Lu Xingzhi walked over to Jiang Yao and held the umbrella for her. "I may leave tomorrow morning."

Jiang Yao pouted. She wanted to snort, but she was afraid that Lu Xingzhi would think she was in a bad mood, so she held back.

The two of them remained silent after that. They approached their front door in silence. Lu Xingzhi turned his body to put away the umbrella. Jiang Yao reached out to push the door, but when she looked carefully, she saw a person squatting at the entrance of her house.

"What are you doing, Ye Jianguo?"

Jiang Yao said, "Why are you squatting at my door? Why are you not at the university?"

Lu Xingzhi was even more ruthless. He said, "Go away. I don't need a watchdog at my house.

Ye Jianzhi glared at Lu Xingzhi but refrained from speaking. Jiang Yao came into view as he did. He bit his lip and avoided looking at Jiang Yao's face, instead glancing at his toes. "Miss Jiang, can you forgive my brother? It's not easy for my father. He wants to transfer his career to the city. Can you let my father go? My brother is still studying. My sister isn't sensible. My brother is still young. He's under a lot of pressure."

"No."

Lu Xingzhi immediately went to pick up Ye Jianguo. He was a big young man, but Lu Xingzhi pulled him to the side with one hand. When he turned around to ask Jiang Yao to come in, Jiang Yao's phone in her pocket rang.

"Who is it?" Lu Xingzhi asked.

Jiang Yao pulled it out and gave it a quick look. She grinned.

She pressed the answer button as she followed Lu Xingzhi into the door. She smiled and said, "Your dad went to Jindo City. You actually remembered to call me while your dad was with you?"

Lu Xiaoxiao said, "My father is here to control me. Jiang Lei is outside. My father is at home. I fear that I am going to die of suffocation. While I am still alive, I do not have any freedom. Every day I can only look forward to Jiang Lei and my father attending meetings and traveling on business."

Lu Xiaoxiao said with a bitter face, "The happiest time I have right now is when I'm working outside!"

"You don't know how lucky you are when you're living in bliss."

Jiang Yao grinned.

"That's true. I only have two. I heard from Sister Yuqing that Uncle, Auntie, and your parents have gone to the army base to take care of you. Well, you have four people with you. If you add my brother, then you have five. You still have it harder than me." Lu Xiaoxiao was immediately comforted by Jiang Yao's situation; she immediately laughed out loud.
