Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 289

Mrs. Lin had a way with her words. Even though her words carried similar meanings with that of Mrs. Zhu's, she presented it in a way that was more polite and considerate.

Hearing that, Lu Xingzhi's expression lightened. He nodded. "Well, if she is fine with it, I do not mind her being a stay-at-home wife."

However, Lu Xingzhi knew Jiang Yao all too well. She would not be able to deal with the boredom that came with it.

"Haha! Such a loving husband!" Mrs. Lin laughed. "You guys continue on with your drinking. We ladies will have our own little discussion here."

Beckoning Lu Xingzhi to continue the conversation with the men, Mrs. Lin started an exchange herself, shifting the limelight away from Jiang Yao.

The crowd drank until it was almost eight o'clock. Jiang Yao did not know how much Lu Xingzhi had drunk. She caught the strong whiff of alcohol as he walked past her. However, he did not seem to be drunk, as he strolled along at a steady pace.

Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Yang did not leave with Jiang Yao and Mrs. Lin, as they both lived in the Old Quarters which was situated at the far end of the compound.

Walking out, Jiang Yao could feel the chills in the wind even though she had a coat on herself. When she arrived two hours ago, it was much warmer, needing only a single coat to keep herself warm.

"Are you going to Jindo City tomorrow? I think you need more layers on you, Jiang Yao. Go and buy a couple of thick jackets when you are there. It does not seem that way during the daytime, but it gets especially cold at night over here. Compared to your city in the south, winter here arrives much earlier," Mrs. Lin mentioned, after seeing Jiang Yao shiver.

Lu Xingzhi was walking in the front with Colonel Lin. Hearing Mrs. Lin's remark, he turned and looked at Jiang Yao.
