Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 62

Jiang Yao was so indifferent while answering the phone and was ready to hang up after getting the message, but the familiar voice from the other end stunned her.

It was from Lu Xingzhi.

"Jiang Yao, it's me." Lu Xingzhi's usual monotonous and straightforward tone echoed into her ear through the phone line.

It was an astonishing moment for someone who didn't hold any hope.

However, after regaining her attention, Jiang Yao shouted right into the phone. "Lu Xingzhi! You've finally remembered to call, haven't you! Do you remember what you promised me before you returned to the base? You promised that you were going to call home once you arrived at the base, remember? Well? Did you know that I was worried sick about you? These days, I'm like a crazy person rushing to the phone as soon as it rings, thinking it's you! Ten days! I was worried for ten whole days! You, on the other hand, didn't even remember to call home! Argh!"

The more Jiang Yao said, the more agitated she got. After a series of continuous scolding, she immediately slammed the phone receiver down and hung up. Then, she glared at the phone, huffing and puffing in irritation.

At the moment, in Longteng Restaurant in Jindo City, Lu Xingzhi was a little astonished as he listened to the beeping sound on the phone. He was surprised that Jiang Yao had hung up instantly after scolding him.

She must be in so much rage to hang up without giving him a chance to say a word.

Lu Xingzhi wasn't upset about it though, as he thought about what she said. She had been worried about him for ten days and was waiting for his call every day. He understood the anxiety and misery of missing someone.

"Why? Has our sister-in-law hung up on you again?" Zhou Weiqi, the owner of the mobile phone Lu Xingzhi was using, glanced in amusement at the man who hadn't even managed to go out of the room to talk on the phone. He teased, "She is the best."

Zhou Weiqi used the word ˜again' on purpose. The buddies who sat around the table knew a thing or two about Lu Xingzhi and his wife.

"Weiqi, can you stop taking pleasure in other people's misery? It's disgusting." Chen Xuyao kicked Zhou Weiqi, who was smiling a bright and teasing smile, under the table. It was not funny at all, at least not to Cheng Xuyao.

Zhou Weiqi squinted at Chen Xuyao from the corner of his eyes and snorted, "What I want to say is that there are so many women in this world, who do you have to...godd*mnit! Xuyao! Kick me one more time and you'll see!"

Before he could finish, Chen Xuyao kicked him again, and this time, the kick was stronger than the previous kicks. Zhou Weiqi even guessed that his feet must be swollen from all the kicks.

In an instant, Zhou Weiqi stood up in dismay and got into a fighting posture as if he was ready to jump on Chen Xuyao.

"How can you still talk with food in your mouth? Just eat." Chen Xuyao was certain that if Zhou Weiqi had finished his sentence just now, Lu Xingzhi would have been the one to pounce on him.

Lu Xingzhi loved his wife like she was his Thumbelina. Everyone knew that he adored her and cherished her gingerly. The suggestion that he find another sensible woman to spare his time for instead of pleasing a woman with great effort would only agitate Lu Xingzhi.

Zhou Weiqi also realized the mistake he was about to commit after being chided by Chen Xuyao. He sat back timidly and said while extending his hand to Lu Xingzhi, "Brother, can I have my phone back, please?"
