Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 18

"No, that's not what I mean. I mean, I'm not going to Nanjiang Medical University. I want to retake the college entrance examination next year, so I can stay at home this year and not have to worry about not being admitted next year," Jiang Yao hurriedly explained.

"You want to stay at home? What can you get by staying at home for a year? Besides, you say you're not going, then what were you thinking during the application?" Mrs. Lu chided, exasperated. "I don't know what to say, why..."

Jiang Yao was dumbfounded as she was bombarded with a series of questions. When she filled up the application, all she wanted was to stay away from Lu Xingzhi. Now that she was given a chance to be born again, she intended to amend her mistakes and redraft her life objectives. She regretted her decision, she wanted to approach Lu Xingzhi one baby step at a time, she wanted to live well with him as a loving couple.

Jiang Yao didn't know how to answer Mrs. Lu's questions, so she crossed her fingers and said, "Blame Xingzhi! I picked Nanjiang because he made me angry! If it wasn't for him, I would have definitely chosen Jindo!" 1

After she said it, Jiang Yao silently apologized to Lu Xingzhi for throwing him under the bus, but she could not find any other excuses.

Lu Xingzhu was stunned as he was suddenly accused by Jiang Yao. He dug deep into his memory, trying to remember what he had done during the period when Jiang Yao was applying for college that caused her to be unhappy.

The other members at the table were also trying to figure out what Lu Xingzhi had done at that time.

"At that time, Xingzhi was at the base, how could he have provoked you?" Lu Yuqing retorted. Then, she had a doubt of her own and glared at Lu Xingzhi. "During the application period, Mom said that you called home several days in a row and talked to your wife. Did you make your wife angry over the phone?"
