Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 70

He had bought the cigarettes before he married Jiang Yao. Later, he discovered that she hated the smell of cigarettes, so he quit smoking. He would smoke occasionally when he was very stressed or agitated to the point that he couldn't handle it. Hence, the cigarettes were still plentiful after so long.

The cigarette was lit and placed at the corner of his mouth while his gaze was locked at the phone on his table. He imagined what would happen if Lu Yuqing knew about her husband's betrayal.

Several minutes later, after he was done smoking, he threw the cigarette butt away, picked up the phone, and dialed Lu Yuqing's phone number.

Lu Yuqing wasn't asleep yet at that moment. She was in the kitchen, boiling soup for her husband who was working late that night and would return home an hour later.

When the phone rang and Lu Yuqing looked at the incoming number, she was a little surprised. She remembered Lu Xingzhi's office number.

"Wow, are pigs flying today? You've actually called me," Lu Yuqing teased her brother delightfully, "Something is wrong, isn't it?"

Lu Xingzhi opened his mouth, wanting to start with Zhao Zhuangzong's affairs. But he clamped his mouth shut, took a second thought, and suddenly asked, "Sister, in your opinion, what do you think of Jiang Yao? I mean, in terms of her character. What is she like to you?"

"What? Why are you asking me that out of the blue?" Lu Yuqing was stunned. "Did you two have a fight?"

"Other than that? Do you think she's a vile and jealous person who likes to spread fake rumors about others?" Lu Xingzhi asked again, although he found Lu Yuqing's views on Jiang Yao very satisfying.

"No way! She's as boring as you are, she's not the chatty sort of person and she doesn't even like to poke her nose into other people's business. A bookworm like her has no time to mingle in other people's affairs. Besides, Jiang Yao has a wonderful personality, and the teachers and classmates at her school compliment her frequently. Nothing that you've said matches her character." Lu Yuqing added after a pause, "No, I'm sure that Jiang Yao is not at all as bad as you describe. Why are you suddenly asking this question? Did someone say something to you?"

Lu Yuqing took a stand on Jiang Yao's personality. Before this, despite Jiang Yao's indifference towards Lu Xingzhi, she still kept her distance with the male students at school. An aura of naivety and purity radiated from Jiang Yao.
