Can't Take My Eyes Off You (WN)
chapter-1169

Even though the Chen family could bring him benefits, Chen Feitang was a big problem. Furthermore, he would not be able to suppress his wife. Therefore, he chose not to marry Chen Feitang. He did not want her to drag her down as well after the marriage.

Chen Feitang was alone again. People in their circle had been laughing at her because her engagement was canceled. That must have put her in a bad mood.

"It should not have been her." Lu Xingzhi shook his head. Chen Feitang probably did not want to see him either.

"That might not be the case. Maybe she's deliberately trying to upset the two of us? By pretending to be a couple!" Jiang Yao stomped her feet in anger. "Pretending to be a couple means pretending to be intimate. How long will you have to carry out this mission? How long will you need to pretend?"

"I'm not sure." Lu Xingzhi frowned. After he thought about it for a while, he decided to tell Jiang Yao more about the mission. "It's an undercover mission. If it's quick, it'll take ten days to half a month. If it's slow, it might take a few months."

"Change partners!" Jiang Yao yelled at Lu Xingzhi. "If you can't change partners, then don't go."

"I've applied for it." That was the first time Lu Xingzhi saw Jiang Yao so angry. He could see that she was furious when she heard that he would go on an undercover mission with Chen Feitang as a couple.

Well, Lu Xingzhi felt that there was still some jealousy in her.

When she spoke, she hugged him in a carefree manner, as if she was declaring her ownership of the man. She was so angry that she blew up on him, but she was adorable.

"I simply can't imagine you and Chen Feitang going on a mission together," Jiang Yao said. "I hope the partner assignment has nothing to do with Chen Feitang."

"I can't imagine it either." Lu Xingzhi knew how much she hated Chen Feitang. If he were to go on a mission with Chen Feitang, it would be torture for him, and it would also be very irresponsible of him, especially with regards to the mission.

He could never trust Chen Feitang, and she could never make him feel at ease with her. Such partnership would only be a burden. It would influence the mission greatly, and it might even endanger his life.

A partner was essential to a mission. They should have a tacit understanding of each other and complete trust. A partnership without trust would only bring difficulty and influence to the mission.

"Have you eaten dinner? What did you eat?" Lu Xingzhi did not go back in the afternoon. During dinner, he was worried about whether Jiang Yao had eaten at home.

He was not home, and Jiang Yao did not know how to cook. He had wanted to arrange for someone to send food to Jiang Yao at home, but he was afraid they did not know her food preferences.

Jiang Yao nodded. "I ate a little, but it's boring to eat alone. I don't have much appetite. What about you?"

"I'm going to cook some supper." Lu Xingzhi took off his heavy coat and went straight to the kitchen. Then, he asked Jiang Yao to sit in the living room and wait for him.

He did not have much appetite, which meant that he did not eat much. Even if he did not want to eat, he would have supper with her.

While Lu Xingzhi was busy in the kitchen, Jiang Yao spent her time in the living room thinking about her life. She called out to Moe and looked at the kitchen to ensure that Lu Xingzhi could not hear her. Then, she threatened Moe fiercely. "You have to go with him! What if the higher-ups won't change partners? You have to help me keep an eye on her. What if Chen Feitang deliberately wants to upset me? If you're not there, who will help me keep an eye on that woman?"
