Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 270

After saying those words, Zhou Jumin glanced at Lu Xingzhi, and continued, "Madam, you are very beautiful!"

Zhou Jumin turned to flee the moment the words left his mouth, pushing his way through the other men, desperately running off to save his own hide!

Once Zhou Jumin had left, the others followed his footsteps and fled the scene. Who would be stupid enough to continue standing there, waiting for the axe to fall?

"They're lacking training." Lu Xingzhi said as his eyes darkened, watching the men flee. "Right hand? I have never acknowledged that stupid kid as my right hand. How thick can his face be, daring to say that he represents the entire platoon too."

Even though his mouth was criticizing Zhou Jumin who had fled the scene, the undertone of his words obviously spoke of recognition of said underling.

Once the last figure had disappeared from their sights, Lu Xingzhi led Jiang Yao upstairs. As they were walking, he said, "Zhou Jumin is one of the platoon leaders under my command, the rest were fresh egghead recruits under him. They are the same sort as their leader, hence they get along well."

"They seemed rather afraid of you." Jiang Yao thought that it was a rather hilarious scene, with Zhou Jumin clearly fearing Lu Xingzhi, but still wanting to take a poke at the sleeping dragon. He probably did not have a chance to see Lu Xingzhi's reaction to his words, running off almost immediately after saying his piece, as though it was an ingrained reaction.

"Haha..." Lu Xingzhi chuckled, not explaining to Jiang Yao that there were only a few people in this platoon that did not fear him, and could probably be counted on one hand. Those who feared him thought he did not know that they called him Hades Lu behind his back.

They reached the fifth floor while talking, and as Lu Xingzhi took out the key to open the door, he gave a once over at Jiang Yao.

He thought that Jiang Yao would complain that there were too many floors, and struggle to climb all the steps it took to reach here, so he intended to distract her with the small talk as they were climbing. He did not expect for there to be no breaks in between the climb, no sign of any irritation in her voice, and no strain on her face after climbing five floors.
