Can’t Take My Eyes Off You-Chapter 2281

Chapter 2281: That Doesn’t Count

Madam Cheng took that year’s birthday very seriously because it was the first birthday she could spend with Jiang Yao after finding her. With only a few days left, she called Jiang Yao’s mother to discuss Jiang Yao’s birthday.

Jiang Yao came to a complete halt. Her toes were circling the ground. She appeared unconcerned as if she was seriously considering the question.

Lu Xingzhi stepped forward, one hand on Jiang Yao’s waist. He was afraid she would trip herself later because of her absent-mindedness.

She returned to her senses when she noticed Lu Xingzhi approaching her and looked up at the person beside her. She gave Lu Xingzhi a wink before nodding to Mrs. Jiang. “Sure, as long as you are happy about it,” she replied casually.

“Silly child, what are you saying? I am happy, no matter what. Most importantly, you have to be happy.” Mrs. Jiang smiled. “If my daughter is happy, I’m happy.”

“Okay, then.” Jiang Yao coquettishly hugged her mother. “Then I will agree to that. Don’t be jealous in the future and tell me someone is stealing your grandson.”

Mrs. Jiang smiled with relief as Jiang Yao agreed. Being envious was a different story. It made her happy to have another person to lavish attention on her child.

Mrs. Jiang cheerfully returned Madam Cheng’s call. Then she talked on the phone for more than 30 minutes with Madam Cheng about how to celebrate Jiang Yao’s birthday.

Jiang Yao arrived home early. She reached home at a little after four o’clock. She yawned and returned to her bedroom, even though it was still early. Before leaving the kitchen, Lu Xingzhi washed and cut some fruits. Then, he went to their room. When he opened the door, he saw Jiang Yao sleeping on the bed.

Lu Xingzhi wanted to give Jiang Yao some time to rest. The person on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and sat up as he was about to carry the fruit tray out. She sniffed the air like a dogs nose and said, “I smell oranges!”

Lu Xingzhi could not help but laugh. “Are you hungry?

Jiang Yao grunted as her gaze was drawn to the fruit plate in his grasp. Jiang Yao’s appetite had returned to normal after the vomiting spell. Everything tasted good, and she could eat whatever she wanted.

Lu Xingzhi placed the fruit plate on the bedside table and motioned for Jiang Yao to take a proper seat. He popped the fruit into Jiang Yao’s mouth with a toothpick. He kissed her as he looked at her lips. “It is so sweet.”

Jiang Yao narrowed her eyes and smiled. She asked, “Is it the fruit sweet or my mouth?”

Lu Xingzhi fixed his gaze on the person in his arms. Rather than responding, he asked, “What do you think?”

He realized he could not afford to flirt with Jiang Yao so casually and changed the subject. Lu Xingzhi had been abstaining from sex since discovering she was pregnant. Before that, Lu Xingzhi was a hungry wolf who wanted to eat her every day.

Lu Xingzhi lowered his head and kissed her palm. He smiled and said, “I’ll give you a man named Lu Xingzhi.”

Jiang Yao was tickled by his kiss and quickly retracted her palm with a grin. “1t doesn’t count. From the day we got our marriage certificate, Lu Xingzhi was already mine..”
