Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Jiang Yao looked at the bag and blinked. "Are all men like this when it comes to shopping?"

That bag weighed at least seven or eight cats.

"It's not extravagant; it's particular." Lu Xingzhi and Zhou Junmin had known each other for a long time, so he knew what Zhou Junmin was like when buying things and what he wanted. Zhou Junmin was impatient to pick and choose, so he always let the seller give him what he wanted. He would buy as much as he wanted.

Lu Xingzhi was the same before he married Jiang Yao. He was not particular about anything, but he was particular about saving time and trouble. However, after he married Jiang Yao, Lu Xingzhi had to choose everything he bought. He was afraid Jiang Yao would not like to eat the crooked melon and cracked dates he bought home without carefully selecting them.

Yes, that was right. Jiang Yao liked good food when she ate. She did not want to eat anything that did not look good.

"You're talking about Zhou Junmin as if you weren't like that in the past," Jiang Yao said.

"I changed a long time ago." Lu Xingzhi held an orange and led Jiang Yao into the room. "I still have to go to Lanning tomorrow morning. Can you stay at home with your parents?"

Lu Xingzhi almost slammed his hand on the chief's table in the afternoon, but he did not get the chief to relent. After all, the issue in Lanning was also urgent, and he could not afford to delay for another two days.

So, in the end, Lu Xingzhi had to compromise.

"I can still call you when I go to Lanning. I'll let you know if there's any news from Yuan City." Lu Xingzhi patted Jiang Yao's head. "So you just miss me. I'll take care of other things for you."

A lawyer will take over after Li Hong's matter. "If there's any progress, the lawyer will call you," Lu Xingzhi said. "If there's nothing else, don't leave the army base. Right now, the safest thing is still here."

The soldiers' family members had left. The army base was quiet once again. The people they could meet were people who knew everything.

There was still no helpful information about Sergeant Hu's father. Therefore, after Lu Xingzhi accepted the mission, he handed the matter to his people. Shao Fucheng was also following up with the army to help him investigate. He had to take it slow. He could not be anxious.

"I'll listen to you." Jiang Yao was not in the mood to leave the army base, especially when she knew someone was watching her and Lu Xingzhi. Jiang Yao was even more careful then.

"You're so obedient." Lu Xingzhi praised Jiang Yao. Then, he picked a better orange from the bag. He peeled it and brought the flesh to Jiang Yao's lips. He felt relieved when he saw Jiang Yao open her mouth and eat it.

"Is it sour?" Lu Xingzhi asked.

"It's much sweeter than the wild peaches you picked for me in the mountains. Ever since she got pregnant, Jiang Yao's tolerance for sourness had significantly increased. At least Jiang Yao had never eaten that kind of green orange.

Lu Xingzhi left the army base with his luggage before Jiang Yao finished eating her durian. In the morning, Jiang Yao opened her eyes and touched the cold space beside her. Her heart felt a little empty.

The place where he lay was cold, which meant that he had been gone for a long time. It was a pity that she had slept so deeply that she did not notice it.

Fortunately, she had told him everything she needed to say to him the night before. She had given him all of the medication he required.

Her plan to have Lu Xingzhi feed her durian remained unfulfilled.

She had no idea if his mission would be difficult.

Lin Qiaoyu, Li Yi, and the others in Nanjiang City only received the news a few days after the incident. They called Jiang Yao to ask about the matter. The young ladies were crying so badly that their voices were almost hoarse.
