Can't Take My Eyes Off You

The hospital gown's white gauze covering the wound was stained with blood. Jiang Yao clenched her teeth in frustration. Her delicate nose would not have detected the odor of blood if he had not hugged her and allowed her to be near his chest. He was not sure how long he could hide it.

"Why is the wound open, Doctor Jiang? It stings." Lu Xingzhi was terrified Jiang Yao would be upset. He could not help himself. He had mistakenly used too much strength when punching just now, and the wound had widened significantly.

Jiang Yao had just pushed the door open and entered when he realized it. He only had enough time to grab the newspaper and pretend to read it. He had not had time to examine the wound until then.

Even if Lu Xingzhi summoned his ancestor, Jiang Yao refused to speak with him at the time.

It was very aggravating!

Jiang Yao slammed the door after changing Lu Xingzhi's clothes and stormed out, her stomach churning. She did not even tell him not to move when she left. She carried her stuff silently back to the army base.

The weather in the south was terrible. It was so hot that individuals had died. However, the temperature had dropped dramatically in the last several days.

The only thing missing from the weather in the south was fall. It only had three to five chilly autumn days. Then winter arrived. Jiang Yao had to return to the army base to bring some of her clothes and Lu Xingzhi's jacket to the hospital because Lu Xingzhi would not be discharged so soon.

Jiang Yao resentfully placed Lu Xingzhi's clothes into the box, wondering how she could let someone so active in the hospital go home early to recuperate.

Would he take off into the skies once he rejoined the army?

If the hospital could not keep him under control, Jiang Yao would be even more helpless against him if he were allowed to go home.

He would not sleep and assured her he would do it behind her back. Jiang Yao was so enraged that she did not know what to say.

She was so worried.

"You are not allowed to be like your bad father in the future!" Jiang Yao whispered as she touched her stomach.

Jiang Yao had learned the same tone after spending a long time with Lu Xingzhi.

The baby in her stomach had been particularly obedient. The baby did not move frequently and did not inflict much pain on Jiang Yao.

Jiang Yao's morning sickness had also subsided, and she had gradually regained her appetite. Every day, Lu Xingzhi's favorite moment was when he ate three meals. It was not because he could eat everything he wanted; it was because he could focus on his wife again while eating whatever he wanted.

When he coaxed Jiang Yao, she would sometimes overeat. Her stomach was so full that she begged him to rub it.

Every day, Lu Xingzhi wished to be released from the hospital as quickly as possible. He wanted Jiang Yao to be back to her pre-accident condition. He wanted to see her round face again.

Jiang Yao scolded Lu Xingzhi as she wore her clothes. After scolding Lu Xingzhi, she sighed again.

Mrs. Lu planned to go to Luo City the following day. Mr. Lu was pressed for time, so he spent two days in Jindo City before returning to his hometown. Mrs. Lu had asked him to spend a few more days in Jindo City.

Mrs. Lu's return to Luo City meant that the incident with Lu Xingzhi was no longer concealable. She would undoubtedly protest, but Lu Xingzhi was doing fine. Every day, he seemed to be in a good mood. Mrs. Lu's heart hurt for Lu Xingzhi after she returned, but her mood improved after seeing his condition.

It was better than seeing Lu Xingzhi's state when he had just been in an accident.

Mrs. Lu arrived at the airport at four o'clock the following afternoon. Jiang Yao and Big Ke were on their way to fetch her at the airport. However, Jiang Yao received news from Liang Yueze in Jindo City before she met Mrs. Lu.

"Old Master Qian committed suicide in front of Zhou Xiaoxia's family tombs with a gun. Well, he ate a bullet. He was on his knees." Liang Yueze's voice was somewhat muffled when he said that.

Old Master Qian's use of that method to end his life shocked everyone. It made everyone's hearts sink.
