Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 267

Jiang Yao's mood improved by a mile after hanging up the phone, and not a moment later, another call came through from someone who was in charge in the bank, confirming the transfer. She received a text message soon after that, and opening it, she counted the number of zeroes in the transaction amount, her eyes growing wider and wider at each one as she froze on the spot.

Knowing the fact that Lu Xingzhi was rich and was not one to be short on money was one thing, but seeing it was another. She never would have imagined that he could be this rich. It was no wonder he could be so arrogant, easily stating that he could pay double the amount to Huang Chengjing. He certainly did have the capability and capital to do so, and probably more.

The days leading to National Day seemed to crawl by slowly, but also came particularly fast at the same time.

On the morning of the 30th, morning classes ended at 10.40 am. Jiang Yao only returned to the dormitory to retrieve the luggage that she had packed earlier that morning, before heading toward the airport.

After three hours of flight time, the aircraft passed a sea of clouds and started its slow descent toward the ground. Watching as the unfamiliar city grew bigger and bigger under her feet from a small black dot in the distance, Jiang Yao's excitement inside her heart also expanded in the same line.

Disembarking from the plane, Jiang Yao ran all the way while carrying her luggage. Once she reached the exit, she spotted the man in military uniform who was looking for her in the direction she had come from.

"Xingzhi!" Even though they were only apart for half a month, it felt like an entire century to Jiang Yao.

She did not know if Lu Xingzhi had seen her or not, but she shouted in excitement the moment she recognized his person. Following her shout, she bounded toward said man.

"Be careful, don't run so fast!" Lu Xingzhi reprimanded lightly as he watched the figure rushing toward him like a gust of wind, his feet moving to meet her halfway.

With one arm, he grabbed the woman who had rushed at him, helping to steady her. With the other arm, he quickly took over the burden that she held in her own hand which was threatening her balance.
