Can't Take My Eyes Off You

"Well, you do know it's late? Then why are you out so late?" Mrs. Lu's room faced the house's front door, so Mrs. Lu could see any movement at the front door from her window.

It was also a pure accident that she saw Jiang Yao sneaking out in the middle of the night. She had already fallen asleep, but she forgot to close the curtains. She slept until the moonlight woke her up. When she got up and went to the window to close the curtains, she accidentally saw Jiang Yao leaving the house. Then, she saw Jiang Yao cross the road and enter a courtyard not far away.

Jiang Yao felt helpless. It looked like she could not hide it anymore, so she sat down beside Mrs. Lu and said, "I went to see the two bodyguards that Xingzhi found for me. There was a situation that I needed to resolve."

"Bodyguards?"

Mrs. Lu frowned. "Is it because Xingzhi is afraid of retaliation for that mission?"

"That's not it."

Jiang Yao shook her head. "The main reason is that he is afraid that I will be studying abroad alone. At that time, he was in the army in Jin City and was too far away from me. He was afraid that if something happened to me in Nanjiang city, no one could protect me as I was unfamiliar with the place, so he hired two bodyguards to protect me."

After saying that, Jiang Yao took the opportunity to bring up the matter of Old Madam Liang's arrival the next day. "Mom, you've met Xingzhi's eldest brother, Liang Yueze, right? Tomorrow, Liang Yueze's grandmother will come to stay at our house for a few days. I need to take a look at her. Uncle Liang will send her here tomorrow."

Mrs. Lu was a hospitable person, especially when it came to Lu Xingzhi's brothers. When she heard that Liang Yueze's grandmother was coming to their home, Mrs. Lu welcomed her from the bottom of her heart.

"How's the old lady's? What does she like to eat? Is there anything she can't eat? What about Liang Yueze's father? When will they arrive tomorrow?"

When she heard they would have a guest tomorrow, Mrs. Lu did not even ask about the bodyguards. She even forgot to ask Jiang Yao why she was out there. Instead, she asked about Mr. Liang and Old Madam Liang's tastebuds.

Jiang Yao answered everything that she knew. Then, she persuaded Mrs. Lu, who was a little too excited, to go back to her room to rest.

Jiang Yao was not sure when Mr. Liang and the others would be back. After Mrs. Lu left, she took a shower and went back to bed to get some rest.

Mr. Liang and Old Madam Liang arrived sooner than Jiang Yao had anticipated.

It was barely seven o'clock. Jiang Yao was having breakfast when Mr. Liang's phone call came, saying that they had already arrived in the town where the Lu family was.

In order to not attract unnecessary attention and panic in the town, Mr. Liang and the others got off the helicopter in the city and took a car to the town where the Lu family was.

Jiang Yao gave her home address and then waited with Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu at the gate. After a while, they saw a few cars driving toward them.

Before they got out of the car, Xiao Ya poked her head out and greeted Jiang Yao. "Sister Jiang Yao! Jiang Yao! Long time no see. I missed you so much!"

"Well, I didn't think you'd become thinner. You look plump." Jiang Yao teased her. Then she greeted Old Madam Liang and helped her out of the car.

"Grandma Liang, this is my mother-in-law and father-in-law. It's Sunday, so they're at home too. Mom was so excited last night when she heard that you were coming. She wanted to thank you for taking care of us in Jindo City. She never got the chance to thank you guys properly. Now, she finally got the chance."
