Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 10

She was probably the most submissive she had ever been ever since they got married. She so obediently sat next to him that Lu Xingzhi looked shocked and surprised.

"Mom is cutting the fruits in the kitchen. Drink some water to moisten your throat." Lu Xingzhi reached over to pour a glass of water for Jiang Yao, only to find that the water was cold. He got up and went to the kitchen to reheat the tea.

When Mrs. Lu came out from the kitchen with a plate of cut-up watermelon and grapes, she witnessed their interaction and her son's response. No mother in the world would be happy to see their sons, whom they pampered and coddled, bowing down to other women with tameness like a dog pleasing its owner.

Therefore, Mrs. Lu snorted before walking over to the living room. She glared at Jiang Yao and felt rather anguished and agitated. As a mother, she knew how much her son adored his wife, but Jiang Yao didn't seem to warm up to her son at all. Mrs. Lu was very upset and dismayed whenever she thought about this.

"It's so hot and humid, why do you want to drink hot water?" Mrs. Lu chided gently. After placing the plate of fruits on the table, Mrs. Lu turned back to the kitchen, snatched the glass from Lu Xingzhi's hand, and huffed.

"And you! Jiang Yao is a grown-up, why are you treating her like a three-year-old kid? Do you need to handle everything for her? Do you need to feed her or dress her too? You haven't drunk a sip of water since you came home, have you? Look at you, sweating like a dog. Others don't feel bad for you but your mother does! Go and wait outside, I'll serve your wife for you!"

"Mom, she's sick," Lu Xingzhi explained in a resigned tone. He patted his mom's shoulder to express gratitude before leaving the kitchen, knowing that his mom would not let him do anything if he stayed here.

Mrs. Lu's underlying argument was obvious. She was blaming Jiang Yao for her son's own efforts. Thankfully, she did not say it too harshly. She peeked at the jumbo clock in the living room, mumbling about her daughter and son-in-law's late arrival.

Truth be told, nagging flowed in all mothers' blood. After her rambling, she heard some noises outside the door. She looked towards the living room and shouted at Lu Xingzhi, "Your sister and brother-in-law are home, go and welcome them!"
