Can't Take My Eyes Off You

"Jiang Yao wants to divorce Sergeant Lu. She took her things back to her hometown and asked Sergeant Lu to take time off to go back and settle the divorce procedures. She's going home first to move her things back to her mother's house." After she said that, Mrs Yang's eyes reddened. "You guys didn't see the way Jiang Yao looked when she drove away. She looked too pitiful. She felt aggrieved in her heart, but she couldn't do anything about it. Which woman wouldn't feel uncomfortable if this happens to her? Who was the one who spouted that nonsense? Isn't that person afraid of going to hell and having their tongue pulled out for their lies? Aren't they afraid that they'd be struck by lightning and have no children to mourn their death?"

Mrs Yang was furious, so she threw every kind of curse that she knew. They had gone shopping the previous day, and then it seemed like they had to go their separate ways. She felt sad for Jiang Yao.

"This is the military! Not a theater!" Colonel Lin scolded angrily. "All they do is gossip all day long!"

Then, Colonel Lin walked toward Lu Xingzhi and said, "It's okay, Xingzhi. After the army finds out what had happened, they will give you and Jiang Yao justice. When the time comes, you'll have to coax your wife. She will come back."

"If she does come back, will her heart be back as well?" Lu Xingzhi's voice was so soft that it was as if he had talked to himself. "She's young, and she's scared. Will she still be willing to come here in the future?"

Even though he knew it was an act, Lu Xingzhi's heart still twitched when he saw Jiang Yao crying in the car. He did not like to see her cry, even if it was an act. He only liked the way she smiled; that was her personality.

"Of course, she'll come back if you're here..." Colonel Lin said.

Mrs Lin snorted, "It's hard to say. Why would she come back? Is she here to wait for the next person to pour dirty water on her and force her to divorce Sergeant Lu? Do you think Jiang Yao is like you, who isn't afraid of anything? Women are afraid of cold hearts; we'll see if that happens."

Mrs Lin was also furious. She glared at Old Madam He and turned around to leave.

Jiang Yao drove away from the army. When she arrived at the airport, she left her car in the parking lot and took Zhou Weiqi's car back to the man's house in Jin City.

"I'm just a poor person." Zhou Weiqi sighed as he let Jiang Yao into his house. "There's nothing here. What do you want to eat? I'm going to the nearby market to buy some vegetables. I've been cooking at home for the past few days."

Jiang Yao could not go out for the next few days, so Zhou Weiqi could only resign himself to his fate; he would have to buy vegetables and cook.

"Buy more meat." Jiang Yao was not picky about food, but she remembered that Moe, her newly appointed bodyguard, wanted to eat meat. Lu Xingzhi had asked her to bring Moe with her.

Since Ah Lu and Big Ke were not by her side to protect her, Moe was her temporary bodyguard.

Then, Zhou Weiqi went out to buy some ingredients. He told Jiang Yao to choose an empty room. Jiang Yao wanted to call Lu Xingzhi to let him know that she had arrived at his fourth brother's place, so she opened her backpack and searched for her phone.

Unexpectedly, she saw Moe holding her phone and pressing it when she opened her backpack. When he met her gaze, he quickly pressed it again and handed the phone back to her.

Jiang Yao glanced at Moe, who was smiling happily and then clicked on the phone. After she checked it, she realized that Moe had texted Lu Xingzhi!
