Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 40

Instinctively, Lu Xingzhi noticed Jiang Yao looking at him. He wouldn't have pulled his hand away from her waist if it wasn't for having to wring the towel.

"Wash your face." After handing the towel to her, Lu Xingzhi grabbed his own and quickly washed his face. Like greased lightning, he restored to his original position with his arm around her waist. "Let's go downstairs."

Jiang Yao glared at Lu Xingzhi and then with his hand around her waist, motioned him to take it off. The parents were downstairs at the moment, did he really want to go downstairs like this?

However, Lu Xingzhi seemed not to comprehend her warning gesture. He waited for her to hang her towel and walked out of the room with his hand tightly clenching her waist.

Luckily, as soon as they left their room, Lu Xingzhi retracted his hand and put them in his pockets, then watched Jiang Yao hastily run downstairs.

Lu Xingzhi was particularly delighted early in the morning. He greeted his father in the living room and went out to jog with his father.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Lu was picking and prepping the vegetables.

Mrs. Lu was a person who would live her life in an exquisite and impeccable style. She would pay extra attention even to breakfast. Every morning, she would get up 15 minutes early to prepare two dishes with porridge.

"Mom," Jiang Yao greeted Mrs. Lu when she entered the kitchen. She then stood by Mrs. Lu's side and started prepping the water spinach, which was brought from her mother's place the previous day. They were very tender and fresh.

"You're up so early. How about Xingzhi?" Mrs. Lu asked when she heard her footsteps and saw her entering the kitchen without Lu Xingzhi by her side.

"I think he's probably gone out for a run with Dad," Jiang Yao said as she had seen Lu Xingzhi and Mr. Lu exiting the house.

"I don't think they know what ˜stop' means," Mrs. Lu teased and laughed. "Why don't you join them? You need to exercise more to stay young."

Jiang Yao simply smiled without answering.
