Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 1046

With that precedent, Old Master Chen would keep a closer eye on Chen Feitang. As long as the old man was around, Chen Feitang would not be able to turn the tables.

Old Master Chen was in good health; he would live a few more years. No one would know if Chen Feitang would still enjoy the same power and connections she had at that time.

"Third Brother, that is a pretty neat trick." After Zhou Weiqi heard it, he complimented Lu Xingzhi sincerely. "You have such a good ability to adapt when no one is convinced. Let Chen Feitang bear the consequences of her own actions."

"The Chen family will bring Chen Lanying to the army to apologize to me tomorrow. It's best to let her clarify the rumors herself." Lu Xingzhi reached out and pinched Jiang Yao's palm. "I promise, my dear, this won't happen a second time."

"Well, you only have one ex-fiancee”Chen Lanying. I guess there shouldn't be a second." Jiang Yao nodded; she believed him.

However, that ex-fiancee had made Lu Xingzhi feel stifled. If he had known that he could marry Jiang Yao, would he have agreed so casually just because he wanted to deal with his family?

"The woman agreed to get engaged without even meeting Third Brother; can we even call her an ex-fiancee? What kind of fiancee is that? This will only happen with the lu family." Zhou Weiqi knew that Lu Xingzhi felt stifled, so he wanted to lighten the mood.

"Regardless of whether they've met before or not, your third brother is now a second-hand thing." Jiang Yao smiled wickedly. "I've been wrongly accused."

A second-hand thing...

The sentence filled Lu Xingzhi's heart with dread, but he could not refute it.

Lu Xingzhi could hear the tease in Jiang Yao's words, so he did not overthink it. However, it was very late, so he told Zhou Weiqi to go to bed. Then, he took Jiang Yao's hand and led her to the room.

After he closed the door, Lu Xingzhi pulled Jiang Yao into his arms. He had not hugged her because Zhou Weiqi was there. Since they were the only ones in the room, he could hug her as much as he wanted.

Jiang Yao buried her face in Lu Xingzhi's chest and rubbed against him. She let him hug her and enjoyed that quiet and warm moment.

That man was there because he wanted to accompany her for such a short period. He would rather return to the army the next morning than wait for her alone at home.
