Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 184

"I'm hungry, let's eat!" Jiang Yao moved a little and prepared to get down from Lu Xingzhi's legs. She was not used to Lu Xingzhi's sweet-talk and this flirty way of sitting on his lap.

"Let me hug you more if you haven't starved to death." Lu Xingzhi pulled her back and even placed her leg, which was already on the floor, around his waist. This position was even more suggestive than the previous one. However, he did not do anything besides wrapping her in his arms, embracing her just as he said.

Jiang Yao did not struggle. She leaned against his chest and listened to his calm heartbeat thumping.

"Jiang Yao, don't be afraid of me. Don't ever be. Anybody in this world can be afraid of me, except you."

His mumbling was very soft, but every single word entered her ears, each of them knocking at her heart.

"Okay." Jiang Yao leaned on his chest and answered him softly, her hands gently wrapping around his waist.

She was not afraid.

She would not be afraid even if he were to destroy the whole world one day, because she knew that even if he harmed everyone in the world, he would never hurt her.

Time was frozen at this moment. Lu Xingzhi lowered his gaze and the calm side-view of her face fell into his eyes. She did not resist while leaning into his embrace, she was in complete peace of mind as if she was leaning on the whole world.

This was enough.

Lu Xingzhi's lips curled up as he lowered his head to kiss her hair. "Get up, I'll bring you to eat." He could not bear to let his wife starve.

Only then did Jiang Yao pull away from Lu Xingzhi's cuddle. Suddenly, she heard a sigh. She turned around and her eyes met his yearning gaze.
