Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Jiang Yao would have guaranteed that Lu Xingzhi would not even be able to smell the soup, let alone eat the buns, if he had told her that first.

"Is the situation so complicated and critical that you can't tell me over the phone?" Jiang Yao fixed his gaze on Lu Xingzhi. "Did you purposefully trick me into returning here?"

"No." Someone's face was flushed, and his heart almost stopped beating. "I just have the impression that this is a significant and complicated issue."

"How complicated is it?" Jiang Yao chuckled. Her smile was stiff and unnatural. "Come and analyze it with me. Where is the complication?"

Lu Xingzhi's eyelids twitched, and his thoughts raced. "Isn't the divorce between Big Brother Liang and his wife complicated?" he asked. "Even though they are divorced, he requested that we look after her. He must still harbor feelings for her. Don't you think so?"

Jiang Yao was enraged by Lu Xingzhi's nonsense and burst out laughing. "You are quite capable!"

Jiang Yao laughed, and Lu Xingzhi's alarm went off immediately. He decided to be thick-skin about it.

Lu Xingzhi embraced Jiang Yao with his uninjured hand, then lowered his head and kissed her.

"Well, it shouldn't be that difficult for me to return here to accompany you, right? It looks like there are days when you don't mean what you say." She did not dare to lean on Lu Xingzhi's body. As a result, her posture was a little awkward, so she pushed Lu Xingzhi away. She hugged his arm.

"Well, you're right." Lu Xingzhi reasoned that since Jiang Yao still acted coquettishly with him, he did not need to worry about her.

"Mom and Dad went shopping. They wanted to purchase some items for the baby. You can take a nap after a walk around the ward." Jiang Yao placed the thermos on the side table before taking Lu Xingzhi's slippers from under the bed. "Be careful. Don't rush around like a rabid dog."

Rabid dog?

Lu Xingzhi smiled. "How do I walk to avoid looking like a rabid animal?"

Jiang Yao took Lu Xingzhi's unharmed hand and said, "Hold me. Just walk slowly like me."

"You do not want me to be like a rabid dog. You want me to walk like a queen," Lu Xingzhi exclaimed.

Jiang Yao had had enough and pinched his palm. "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Lu Xingzhi shook his head quickly.

"Mom has trouble sleeping at night. I will spend the night with you at the hospital." Jiang Yao watched Lu Xingzhi's steps carefully, not wanting him to move too quickly. After all, he had numerous wounds on his body. "I also can't get used to not having you talk to me at night."

Jiang Yao was used to Lu Xingzhi's hands touching her stomach while she slept. Lu Xingzhi did not do it the previous night. Finally, she took Mrs. Jiang's hand and placed it on her stomach, causing Mrs. Jiang to laugh.

"Your hand has become our son's little blanket. When you open your palm, it almost completely covers my stomach." Jiang Yao laughed after gesturing to Lu Xingzhi's large palm. "However, as my stomach grows, no matter how big your hand is, it will not be able to cover it."
