Can't Take My Eyes Off You (WN)
chapter-1310

She decided not to think about that. What else was there to worry about? She was already at ease with her three children. If her life ended at that moment, she would be able to leave with a smile.

That was enough, right?

After leaving the hospital, Lu Xingzhi was not in a hurry to bring Jiang Yao back to the country.

Madam Cheng's surgery was scheduled for tomorrow. Lu Xingzhi thought he would wait for Madam Cheng's surgery to be over before bringing Jiang Yao home.

"It's a rare opportunity for me to come here. I'll stay here for two days to see HL's night view and explore the streets." Lu Xingzhi held Jiang Yao's hand gently and adjusted her scarf. He closed it so that the cold wind would not blow into her.

It was still snowing in HL at that time of the year. The weather was like the coldest day in Tianjin.

He looked at the person who pursed her lips and lowered her head without saying a word. It was the first time that Lu Xingzhi felt that he was the dumbest person in the world who did not know how to coax another person. If only he could be as eloquent as Zhou Junmin. Perhaps then, he would be able to make her happy.

Madam Cheng's surgery was the following day. He would stay there with Jiang Yao. If anything were to happen to Madam Cheng, she might be able to see her for the last time.

If she were lucky, that would be the best. She would return home with peace of mind.

"This place is not nice at all. It is white everywhere." Jiang Yao's tone was filled with disdain.

Lu Xingzhi knew that she was not disgusted by the scenery but by the situation.

"Why do you think she is like that? They are both born to the same mother, so why isn't she like Mrs. Sun?" The more Jiang Yao spoke, the sadder she became. In the end, she threw herself into Lu Xingzhi's arms and cried, "If she were not a good person, then I'd be able to hate her with ease. Then, I could turn around and return home. However, she was so good that my heart softened for her. The moment I met her gaze, I couldn't bear to leave."

Jiang Yao cried louder and louder. "When she looked at me, it was like when Mom looked at me. Her gaze was so heavy that I couldn't bear it."

People were coming and going on the streets. She was crying uncontrollably like a helpless, lost child.

Lu Xingzhi's face was filled with panic and helplessness. He wanted to comfort her, but he did not know how.

After waiting for a long time until she stopped crying, Lu Xingzhi brought Jiang Yao to a hotel to check-in. When they entered the room, Lu Xingzhi saw that Jiang Yao was a little tired, so he let her rest for a while.

Just as the two of them laid down, Lu Xingzhi's phone rang. It was the army.

The army knew about Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao's return to their hometown and had approved it. However, the informant in Shu City had been keeping an eye out for them. The army had called Lu Xingzhi to talk about another situation.

Jiang Yao waited until Lu Xingzhi hung up the phone before asking about the situation. "I heard you mention Mrs. Ge? Have they found her?"

Jiang Yao thought that someone from the army must have called Lu Xingzhi to tell him they found Mrs. Ge and Ge Wenwen. She was happy for Sergeant Ge.

"Zhou Junmin found Mrs. Ge," Lu Xingzhi replied. "But he did not find Ge Wenwen. They were not together. Furthermore, Mrs. Ge's condition isn't too good."

Jiang Yao had been a little tired and sleepy, but when she heard the news, she perked up a little. She asked Lu Xingzhi to tell her about Mrs. Ge in detail.
