Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 14

No matter what Lu Xingzhi said, Jiang Yao remained as quiet as a lamb. She took the watermelon from him and ate it with her head hung low. After she finished the slice, she peeped at Lu Xingzhi quietly, wondering if he was angry about the letter of admission.

Lu Xingzhi rarely displayed his emotions physically. He always wore an impassive expression regardless of his actual emotions that no one knew how he really felt.

From the kitchen, Lu Yuqing's raging voice resonated faintly across the house. Meanwhile, in the living room, Mr. Lu exchanged pleasantries with Zhao Zhuangzong, asking him about the trivial matters in work and life. Occasionally, Zhao Zhuangzong conversed with Lu Xingzhi. Jiang Yao was sitting among them like invisible air. 1

It was not as if Mr. Lu and Zhao Zhuangzong were intentionally ignored her, but they all knew that Jiang Yao was taciturn. She was more reserved and untalkative than Lu Xingzhi in the house. She only answered when she was asked something, and even so, she only answered the question without further elaboration. Her words were simpler and more monotonous than Lu Xingzhi's at times. Fortunately, Lu Xingzhi would hand her fruit from time to time.

In the middle of the conversation, Jiang Yao suddenly raised to her feet. Lu Xingzhi shifted his surprised gaze at her and quickly asked, "Where are you going?"

Lu Xingzhi was worried that Jiang Yao was annoyed because of Lu Yuqing's accusation earlier. He sounded anxious and hurriedly stood up and held Jiang Yao.

"Nowhere. I'm going back to the room to put this thing away," Jiang Yao said as she waved the letter in her hand.
