She realized that Lu Xingzhi would not tell Zhou Weiqi anything he had not informed her. As a result, she could not obtain any information from Zhou Weiqi. That phone call
coincided with an important moment in Zhou Weigqiâs life by chance. She was aware of Zhou Weigqiâs happy occasion in advance and was the first to congratulate him.
âYou are smarter than others, as expected of my woman.â Lu Xingzhi praised Jiang Yao shamelessly. âSo you sat there staring at me all morning just to ask me that? Why
didnât you ask me earlier? Did you have to wait until I shaved my beard before you asked?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jiang Yao confessed quietly. âI didnât want to ask initially. But in the end, I couldnât hold it in. 1 wouldnât have asked if you had not explained or answered.â
Lu Xingzhi took Jiang Yaoâs hand, allowing her to touch the cut on his chin. âFeel this. I was hurt because you scared me. What do you think we should do, Doctor Jiang?â
âItâs only a minor cut. What else would you like me to do? Would you like me to patch you up?â Jiang Yao could not decide whether to laugh or cry, so she drew her hand
back and lightly prodded the cut on his waist. âYou didnât even flinch with this wound. Why would you complain about the tiny wound on your chin?â
jo one would be as childish as that man.
âIt is not the same at all.â
Lu Xingzhi shook his head and expressed his dissatisfaction with the situation. âI will forget about it with a kiss.â
âCook now. Iâm dying of hunger!â Jiang Yaoâs ears burnt as she pulled him, pretending to be upset.
Lu Xingzhi stood motionless next to Jiang Yao like a stone statue. He tapped his chin delicately with his long index finger as if he would not leave unless she kissed him.
Jiang Yao glared at Lu Xingzhi before she burst out laughing. âI genuinely admire you.â She tip-toed and kissed him on the corner of his lips.
Lu Xingzhi turned around and headed to the kitchen after receiving a kiss. Lu Xingzhi had not eaten anything in the morning and was worried Jiang Yao would be hungry. So
he cooked some oat with eggs, veggies, and dry beans. It was light and fragrant. Jiang Yao ate three bowls before touching her tummy in contentment and setting the bowl
down.
Lu Xingzhi had never seen Jiang Yao eat that much without attempting to coax her. He grinned as he watched her sit there and burp. She appeared to be starving because
she had not eaten breakfast.
His wife was growing increasingly fragile.
âDid I eat too much?â Jiang Yao asked.
âYou only had three bowls of oatmeal. Itâs not like you ate three bowls of rice. This is easier to digest, and you wonât feel hungry that quickly. It will be digested in two hours
if you donât eat anything else,â Lu Xingzhi said.
If she had eaten three bowls of rice, he would be concerned. He would think that she had not had a full meal since she came to Nanjiang City.
Jiang Yao was a little naive. When Lu Xingzhi said that three bowls was not much, she believed it was true. âDo you have anything else planned for the afternoon?â she
asked. âYou said youâd take me someplace nice.â
âYes, itâs a holiday after the mission is over.â
Lu Xingzhi nodded. âI was going to sleep until I had to go to Nanjiang City to look for you. I didnât expect you to be impatient and come back earlier than me. In that case, we
can rest at home for one more night. Tomorrow morning, I will take you to Nanjiang City.â.
