Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Zhou Weiqi did not just give up that easily. He leaned onto the door and tried his best to eavesdrop on

their conversation. Luckily, the room was soundproofed well. Nobody could possibly hear anything from

the room once the door was shut. Otherwise, Zhou Weiqi might die of a heart attack if he heard Lu

Xingzhi tell Jiang Yao that she could just sell, give away, or even smash his brand new car.

"His car does not bother me, why would I be so violent with his stuff?" Jiang Yao was surprised that Lu

Xingzhi could treat a car in such a casual manner. Also, she was surprised by the fact that the stakes of

the childish bet between Weiqi and Lu Xingzhi were that big.

"So...did you miss me?" Lu Xingzhi knew that Jiang Yao had no interest in the car so he did not

mention Weiqi's car again. Actually, he was happy to know that his wife was kind toward his brothers. If

it were Luo Lauren, she might squeeze every penny out of Zhou Weiqi's wallet.

Lu Xingzhi remembered Jiang Yao saying that she missed him once when he returned home during

last summer break. She had suddenly rushed into his arms and said that, and that really caught him off

guard.

Jiang Yao did not expect Lu Xingzhi to ask her this out of a sudden. The towel in her hand dropped

straight down onto her knees and she looked towards her roommates subconsciously. Just as she

expected, all of them were interested in her conversation with Lu Xingzhi and the only thing that they

had not done was to stick their ears against her.

Although she knew that they could not hear what Lu Xingzhi had asked her, Jiang Yao's face was still

flushed red.

The answer in her heart was that she missed him, but she was too shy to talk sweetly with her husband

in front of her roommates for the time being. Therefore, she lowered her voice and said, "No."

The sound of him chuckling could be heard on the other end of the phone and the image of him

smirking popped into her mind automatically. Although she had never seen him doing that, she was

very certain that he was smirking at that moment.

"I really did not..." Jiang Yao repeated her answer again but in a very soft tone.

"Hmm, you didn't." Lu Xingzhi stopped his laughter. If she did not try to explain herself again anxiously,

he might fall for it. However, she repeated with a soft tone despite being anxious about it. By purely

judging on that, he was certain that she actually missed him.

Why would she be so anxious to explain herself if she was not thinking about him? She explained

herself but she did a poor job of hiding her emotions. In Lu Xingzhi's eyes, that was cute.

"If you don't say that you miss me, I guess my house in Jin City will belong to Weiqi." Lu Xingzhi sighed

and seemed to be helpless. "That was my bet with Weiqi his new car and my house."

Before Jiang Yao could say anything, Lu Xingzhi opened the door straight away. He was not surprised

to see Weiqi and Xuyao stumbling into the room.

"I'm passing the phone to Weiqi." Lu Xingzhi grabbed Zhou Weiqi who was sitting on the floor like a

dummy by his collar and lifted him up. He then passed the phone to him. "Come here."

Zhou Weiqi got rid of Lu Xingzhi's hand angrily and signaled to Xuyao by twitching his eyes after

receiving the phone from Lu Xingzhi. Then, he dragged Xuyao out of Lu Xingzhi's room and sat on the

couch in the living room. He only spoke after he cleared his throat, "Jiang Yao, it's me, Weiqi. You have

not forgotten about me, have you? We have just met each other."

Lu Xingzhi walked out of the room casually with both hands in his pockets. He leaned on the door of NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

the bedroom and grabbed a packet of cigarettes from his pocket. He picked a cigarette and tossed the

packet towards Xuyao. The packet glided through the living room and landed precisely in Xuyao's

palm. Xuyao whistled. "Bro! That's sick!"
