Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Since telling Lu Xingzhi her story, Jiang Yao felt much more at ease. She accepted the car keys given by Lu Xingzhi and got the car on the road in no time.

"Xingzhi, what do you think Weiqi's father will do knowing that Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Ning made a fool of themselves and humiliated the Zhou family's name?" Jiang Yao was very calm while driving. Even with Lu Xingzhi observing her from the passenger seat, she was not anxious and could even chat with him.

"No idea. Weiqi has to make his own decision, nobody else can help him," Lu Xingzhi replied.

The rest of the gang had a lot of hope for Zhou Weiqi.

He seemed to be a carefree person, but he was the most trustable among the five of them.

Frankly speaking, the four of them thought that Zhou Weiqi was dumb.

Zhou Weiqi grew up in a less-than-ideal environment. The Zhou family gave him none of the love and affection, and yet he was part of the Zhou family's bloodline and held on to a promise to his deceased mother.

Before meeting Lu Xingzhi and the rest, Zhou Weiqi's mother was probably the only one in the entire world that treated him well and loved him.

Even the person who kept saying that he wanted to atone for his mistakes looked just like a joke to Lu Xingzhi and his buddies.

The greater Zhou Weiqi's love for his mother, the harder it was for him to cut the Zhou family off.

A person who did not have enough love growing up would frantically grasp at any signs of affection given to them. Lu Xingzhi could not understand, nor could he empathize; for he grew up in a loving family.

Tired of talking about Zhou Weiqi's affairs, Lu Xingzhi fixated his sight on Jiang Yao. Hot air circulated the interior of the car and her scarf was hanging loosely around her neck. She probably felt warm and had loosened it. Her woolen gloves were intentionally placed on Lu Xingzhi's lap, mimicking her hands.

She looked a little childlike no matter how Lu Xingzhi looked at her, with her flushed cheeks and the furry scarf and the hat.

He flicked the pom-pom on her hat and suddenly asked, "Did we have a daughter together?"

Jiang Yao was a little surprised.

Not receiving any replies, Lu Xingzhi asked a few seconds later, "Is it a son?" He was slightly disturbed at the thought.

"None at all," Jiang Yao answered. She did not know how to tell Lu Xingzhi that before her rebirth, they rarely saw each other after their wedding.

Lu Xingzhi did not expect that answer. He thought that she was lying, but it did not look like that was the case. After a brief silence, he asked again, "You cannot have kids?"

Jiang Yao retorted, "Why didn't you ask if you were the one who's infertile!"

Lu Xingzhi was relieved seeing her reaction; her body was fine.

As for him…

"Don't you know best?" Lu Xingzhi chuckled. He would undergo a physical checkup every year in the platoon, so he knew for sure that if he wanted to, he could get her pregnant.
