Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 37

"You... can't sleep?" Lu Xingzhi looked over his shoulder. At that moment, Jiang Yao rested her head partially on his shoulder. He didn't move nor push her away, he just lay there like a mannequin. He said after a while of silence, "Since you can't sleep, let's talk."

Lu Xingzhi's compromise made Jiang Yao giggle in victory.

"Your...your sister said that you put in a lot of effort to marry me," Jiang Yao said. It had apparently piqued her curiosity. "Tell me about it."

"Huh." Lu Xingzhi huffed a sigh. He didn't say anything but he didn't miss a glimpse at Jiang Yao's inquisitive expression. Just when Jiang Yao highly anticipated his answer when he gaped his mouth, he blurted the most unbelievable words.

"Go to sleep now."

Then he turned his face to the side and closed his eyes for real.

Obviously, he wasn't ready to discuss this matter with Jiang Yao.

Frankly, Jiang Yao was absolutely clueless in terms of his effort into marrying her. Before the marriage had been proposed, she didn't even know of the existence of Lu Xingzhi. Hence, she didn't know much about him.

In addition to this, Jiang Yao wanted to know how he fell for her. In her defense, she had never seen him before, so how and when did he fall in love with her without her knowledge?

Apparently, Lu Xingzhi wasn't about to feed her curiosity. Jiang Yao pouted. She wasn't surprised at his lack of response though. This was typical of Lu Xingzhi, the man who liked to keep everything to himself.

"Lu Xingzhi," Jiang Yao whispered while poking at his masculine arm mischievously, but he ignored her.

"Huh, you're quite emotional," Jiang Yao exclaimed in a sarcastic tone. She moved on to tug his singlet and started to get agitated at his lack of response.

"Lu Xingzhi, if you ignore me, I'll never talk to you ever again," Jiang Yao growled as she poked his shoulder with all her might, but for Lu Xingzhi, it felt like she was tickling him.

Eventually, her string of actions and words caught his attention.

He turned his head to face Jiang Yao and stared at her for a moment. Just when Jiang Yao was about to speak again, a large shadow stumbled upon her, sealing her lips.
