Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 24

From then on, nowhere felt like home for her. The Lu family was no longer her home and she didn't even feel that she belonged to the Jiang family anymore. For nearly a decade, she had always felt like a dandelion that drifted in the wind wherever it took her. Her whole life was a bottomless pit of loneliness and desolation.

Did it sound ironic and ridiculous now? She was the main reason for her loneliness. She had built a glass room and isolated herself from the world. She was stubborn and selfish to reject the love and care of her loved ones and resentful to those who loved her dearly.

She reaped what she sowed, and she deserved every last bit of it.

"Jiang Yao, do you still blame your parents?" Lu Xingzhi parked his bicycle on the side of the road and turned to look at the girl behind him. He sounded serious and solemn. "Your mom and dad love you very much."

Jiang Yao nodded. "Of course not. They are right, actually. You are a good man. Marrying you is the best thing I've ever done in my life."

She said it in an overly submissive and timid tone that was nothing like the Jiang Yao he knew previously. Hence, he couldn't distinguish the genuine honesty and sincerity in her remark.

In other words, perhaps the pleasant remarks were nothing but her sarcastic compliment and flattery?

"It's very hot, do you want to tan yourself right now? Let's go home already!" Jiang Yao knew Lu Xingzhi was skeptical over her remark. She wasn't eager to explain anything right now, but she couldn't stand the heat, so she nudged Lu Xingzhi to hurry up and start riding again. Next, she pouted at the ice cream in her hand and whined, "The ice cream is gone!"

"Leave it. You're not supposed to have it anyway, you haven't fully recovered." Lu Xingzhi grabbed the ice cream from her hand and dropped it onto the side of the road. When they left the house, he had absent-mindedly bought her the ice cream as he saw her sweating like a dog. He regretted it as soon as he bought it but it was too late since Jiang Yao was smiling and shaking her legs like a happy girl on the back seat of the bicycle while eating the ice cream.
