Can't Take My Eyes Off You Chapter 1218 - Up To You

Chapter 1218: Up To You

Jiang Yao held the umbrella for Lu Xingzhi so that he could hug her tightly. Lu Xingzhi did not see Moe, so he asked, “Where is Moe?”

“He left me.” Jiang Yao grinned. She had abducted Moe to the Lin family’s house. While she and Colonel Lin’s family were eating durian blissfully, Moe had run to Colonel Lin’s balcony. It was as if he was fleeing for his life.

“Did you torture him?” Lu Xingzhi’s voice was somewhat amused.

Jiang Yao pursed her lips but remained silent. If Moe were there, that small traitor would undoubtedly inform Lu Xingzhi about it.

When Jiang Yao got home, she noticed the cactus pot on the bed had been moved to the dining table. Lu Xingzhi must have removed it and placed it there.

She told Lu Xingzhi to eat as she prepared a bowl of soup and fiddled with the potted plant.

The cactus was slightly bent where she had pressed a pillow and a quilt onto it.

Jiang Yao looked at it with pity. She had pleaded with Big Ke to get one that was as large as a washboard, but he had bought her such a small one.

The durian sh.e.l.l was still behind the sofa in the living room; she had not had a chance to discard it when she left.

“By the way, I am leaving for a mission the day after tomorrow.” Lu Xingzhi noticed Jiang Yao was concentrating on the potted plant when he addressed her. “I suppose you can book your ticket early.”

“Oh,” Jiang Yao said. To avoid attracting Lu Xingzhi’s attention, she did not even lift her head or look into his eyes.

“I will depart the morning after tomorrow, so you can buy an airline ticket for the day after that.” Lu Xingzhi said. Based on her apathetic reply, she was still suppressing her wrath and disregarded his words. “When I’ve completed the mission, if I have time, I will join you in Nanjiang City. After that, I will report to my new unit.”

“That’s up to you.” Jiang Yao responded to each statement, although her response was brief.

Lu Xingzhi was at a loss for words. After a short pause, he asked, “Are you still angry?”

“No.” Jiang Yao sluggishly shook her head. Then, she raised her eyes to gaze at him. She narrowed her eyes and smiled at him, a sign that she was not furious with him.

“They changed my partner today; it is no longer Chen Feitang, ” Lu Xingzhi said.

Lu Xingzhi saw Jiang Yao stop toying with the potted plants. Sensing her keen interest in the subject, he said, “Colonel Lin and the others altered the sequence of tests in my personalized test plan.”

Jiang Yao smiled as she bared her teeth; she said nothing. It seemed like he had no doubts at all since he could still talk to her about that.

“Are you interested in hearing about my tailored test plan?” Lu Xingzhi inquired.

“Sure.” Jiang Yao was curious; she even moved the cactus from the table to an empty chair.

Lu Xingzhi’s statements were cut short by a loud bang.

He raised his eyes and cast a peek in the direction of Jiang Yao. He observed Jiang Yao abruptly reclaim the cactus she had just removed and place it heavily on the table without warning.

“It is all right; my hand slipped. Continue; who is this moron? Is he your new companion?” Jiang Yao asked with a phony smile.

Lu Xingzhi had a strange feeling that if he said that, the cactus in his wife’s hand would immediately get attached to his forehead.

Lu Xingzhi shook his head. “No, I am talking about the people who stole my plan and altered it without my consent, as well as the individual who took part in the test.”
