Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Jiang Yao's heart swelled with warmth and love. "Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

'I'm not a three-year-old, why would I be afraid of being alone in a hotel?' she mocked silently.

Seeing the confident and poised smile on Jiang Yao's face Lu Xingzhi nodded. He turned and walked towards the door.

When his hand rested on the doorknob, he suddenly let it go, then turned his body towards Jiang Yao, who was watching him leave.

"Come." Lu Xingzhi waved at her.

"Why?" Jiang Yao tilted her head in confusion. She stood where she was and asked, "Did you forget something?"

Lu Xingzhi froze for a while, his eyes pacing left and right uneasily. Finally, he shook his head and uttered dejectedly as he heaved a sigh, "Forget it, it's nothing." Since she didn't want to come over, let it be.

Jiang Yao burst out laughing and hopped towards Lu Xingzhi while teasing, "Dawdling is so annoying, did you know tha... mmmm!"

A fire of lust ignited Lu Xingzhi's eyes as Jiang Yao headed towards him. He stared at her like a thirsty wanderer encountering an oasis in the middle of the desert. He swallowed her last word by smacking his lips against the mocking mouth and let her go for a short while to blurt out, "You came to me yourself, let me enjoy that sweetness of yours."

He curled his arm around her slender waist and locked it, whirled, and pinned her against the wall. He leaned over and sealed her delicious and flirtatious lips.

Behind her was the hard and cold wall, while in front of her was the solid and warm chest—Lu Xingzhi's chest. He pressed her against the wall, placing his weight onto her body. He was so strong that It felt as if he was trying to push her into the wall, or rather, he desperately wanted to absorb her into his body and become one.

They kissed and kissed until the damsel hooked on him weakly before he let her go. He lifted her chin and chuckled at her blushed face. "We'll continue this battle tonight."

She rolled her eyes annoyingly at him as he pinched her nose, which made him laughed joyfully.

"So, did you call me over just to kiss me?" Jiang Yao pouted and nudged the man who was still laying his weight on her with a wicked smile. "So, did I walk right into your trap on my own?"

"Yup," Lu Xingzhi admitted.

He earned another annoyed eye roll from her, yet he was delighted as if he had received a kiss instead.

"Wait for me here, don't run away, tonight..."

Before Lu Xingzhi could finish, Jiang Yao opened the door and pushed the man out, then slammed the door close on his face.

Outside the door, Lu Xingzhi knocked twice and thought, 'If I didn't have to go to the police station now, I would've barged in and thrown her on the bed, ready for our battle!'

Lu Xingzhi's mood was uplifted by Jiang Yao's arrival, but once he exited the hotel, he restored to his terrifying and nerve-wracking Hades Lu mode. On the way to the police station, the taxi driver hoped he could accelerate his speed like an airplane so that he could send the humongous ice block in his passenger seat to his destination like greased lightning, getting rid of him along with the dangerous aura radiating all over his body as soon as possible.

After Lu Xingzhi left, Jiang Yao received a phone call from an unfamiliar number fifteen minutes later. As soon as the person on the other end of the line addressed her as sister-in-law, something sparked her memory. Chen Xuyao would come today.

Zhou Weiqi had called her yesterday. Initially, she had asked them not to come, but Zhou Weiqi had insisted on sending Chen Xuyao here.

She had totally forgotten about Chen Xuyao's visit when she met Lu Xingzhi today.

When Chen Xuyao called her, he had already arrived in Nanjiang City and was on his way from the airport to Nanjiang Medical University to meet Jiang Yao.

"Jiang Yao, are you in college now? Are you free? I'm going to pick you up," Chen Xuyao said.

Jiang Yao told him the name and location of the hotel she was at. Chen Xuyao was puzzled, but he didn't say much, except that he would go to the hotel and asked her to wait for him at the hotel lobby twenty minutes later.
