Can’t Take My Eyes Off You

She lowered her head and finished the soup in one gulp. Jiang Yao glanced at the pork dish again, then reluctantly went upstairs to her room.

The first thing she did was carry her cellphone to the balcony to call Lu Xingzhi. At that time, Lu Xingzhi had just finished eating at the canteen and was on his way home. At that time, the military did not forbid the use of cell phones. Therefore, Lu Xingzhi’s cellphone was kept in his pocket.

When his phone rang, Lu Xingzhi knew it was Jiang Yao. He had set a ringtone for Jiang Yao.

As soon as he picked up the phone, he heard his wife calling his name coquettishly.

“Xingzhi”

The soft and coquettishness reminded him of cotton candy.

He had never eaten that kind of sweet food, but he felt that his wife should be cotton candy.

“What’s wrong?” As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was no longer as cold as it was when he trained his men. It became softer. “Aren’t you happy staying at home?”

Jiang Yao whispered and complained, “I think that Mom is starting to be biased. Cheng Jinnian’s status in Mom’s heart is higher than mine! Mom only gave me two pieces of pork today, but Cheng Jinnian ate as much as he wanted. She also mentioned that I couldn’t eat that for two months after giving birth. Do you think you’ll still feed me that? Otherwise, we’re not having a baby.”

Lu Xingzhi was stunned by Jiang Yao’s question. “I’m not an experienced mother, so I don’t know about that. Well, you’re a doctor. What do you think?”

She wanted to go against her conscience and say that she could eat whatever she wanted.

In the end, Jiang Yao sighed and ended the topic. “You’re going to start the training tomorrow, right? You can’t bring your cell phone, right?”

“Yes, I can’t,” Lu Xingzhi replied. After thinking for a moment, he said, “If you really can’t get along with Cheng Jinnian, then send him back to the Cheng family and ask the Cheng family members to keep an eye on him.”

“All right,” Jiang Yao replied in a low voice. Just as she was about to say something else, she suddenly heard another voice from the other side of the phone. It was not loud. It sounded like someone was calling Lu Xingzhi, perhaps to a meeting.

A few seconds later, Lu Xingzhi’s voice came to the phone again. “There’s a meeting that I have to attend. I’ll call you after that.”

Jiang Yao responded and hung up first, in case she became more reluctant to hang up later on.

Without Lu Xingzhi to comfort her, her mood darkened again. She heard Cheng Jinnian’s laughter coming from downstairs. Jiang Yao wanted to call Cheng Jinyan, but she remembered that his phone had been turned off.

No matter how stupid Jiang Yao was, she still realized that Cheng Jinyan had blocked her number.

Otherwise, why couldn’t she get through three times at different times? Was it such a coincidence that it was either on or off?

Jiang Yao guessed that Cheng Jinyan must have known that Cheng Jinnian was looking for her. He was afraid that she would call him, so he deliberately did not pick up her calls.

Jiang Yao guessed she could call Huang Chengjing’s cell phone. He would pick up the call much faster.

When he did, Huang Chengjing’s voice was full of surprise. “I’m a little flattered that Director Jiang still remembers to call me. I heard from Yuqing that you recently went back to your hometown.. Yuqing often complained that you are quite happy being a hands-off owner.”
