Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 1242

Even though they had nothing in the room, Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi discovered that someone had rummaged through their things when they arrived back at their home.

Although that person had placed her and Lu Xingzhi's things back in almost the same place, and the money that Lu Xingzhi had put in his suitcase had not been missing, the two of them still noticed it the moment they entered the room.

The quilt had been folded properly, but the direction of the pattern had changed. The person who had entered the room must have searched meticulously, even the quilt. It was very likely that the quilt had been opened and checked. After confirming that there was nothing then, the quilt had been put back in its place.

"Wait in the room. I'll go next door to get something." Lu Xingzhi told Jiang Yao to sit in the room and wait, but he was still worried. "It's better for you to come with me."

Then, he held the empty bucket in one hand and held Jiang Yao's hand as they walked next door.

Their neighbor's door was closed. Lu Xingzhi put the empty bucket on the side and knocked on the door.

A man in his 50s or 60s opened the door. When he saw Lu Xingzhi, he smiled kindly, but his eyes had a different emotion. He was on his guard.

"Little Brother, how are you doing?"

"My wife and I just arrived today. We didn't have time to buy coal, so we wanted to borrow a few from you. We'll return them to you tomorrow." Lu Xingzhi pushed the empty bucket forward.

Jiang Yao said, "Uncle, we don't need too many. Just five or six will do. Then can you give us two red coals? Alternatively, we can purchase some from you! I'm new here, and I'm not used to the food. It's too spicy, so my husband wants to make me some dinner."
