Can’t Take My Eyes Off You Chapter 878 - He Said He Wanted to Marry You

Chapter 878: He Said He Wanted to Marry You

“Your metaphor—” Jiang Yao touched her forehead gently.
“Sister-in-law, Don’t pick on my bad manners. I don’t like to read, and I am not good with words, but I think Chen Lanying did this because she had the same thoughts as my hesitation to buy vanilla or strawberry ice cream. If it weren’t for the fact that I was afraid of spoiling my stomach if I ate too much, and if it weren’t because objective conditions didn’t allow it, I would have eaten both flavors.” Lu Xiaoxiao laughed. “In any case, Chen Lanying was just looking at the pot while she ate.”
“After the engagement was canceled, he would leave every few days. When he came back, he’d be in an excellent mood. It was as if he had changed into a different person.” Mrs Lu smiled. “Not long after that, he told us that he wanted to marry a wife.”
Mrs Lu thought it was funny when she mentioned that. “I thought that I had to help him find a wife, but he was the one who proposed it. I was so happy, and I really didn’t expect that he would send your photo for us to see. He said that he wanted to marry you and asked us to go to your house to propose a marriage.”
Mrs Lu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when she talked about everything that had happened after that.
“Later, we finally found out that Xingzhi had made such a big fuss so that the Chen family would break off the engagement so that he could marry you when you were eighteen.” Mrs Lu’s eyes were curved. “Xingzhi had known about you a long time ago, but when I asked him to get married, you were still too young. So, he probably didn’t think about marrying you at that time.”
Therefore, it was tough to say whether a person was fated to be with another person. Mrs Lu thought that Lu Xingzhi was such a cold person in the past, but did he not become a hothead who had started to fall in love when he was with Jiang Yao?
Was he not as happy when he looked at Jiang Yao’s photo?
Mrs Lu said, “So, that was what happened between Xingzhi and Chen Lanying and my brother. We’ve told you about it, so don’t overthink this matter. That had happened because I was blind back then. If I had known that Brother had fallen in love with you, I would not have messed with the issue.”
“If it weren’t for you, Sister-in-law, I reckon that my brother would have been prepared to stay single for the rest of his life after this matter with Chen Lanying. I’ve heard him complaining about life before. He had to get married and have children to carry the family line. He was bored with that. There is no throne, so why would he need to carry the family line?” Lu Xiaoxiao got more excited as she spoke. “Then when he married you, Sister Yuqing made fun of Brother with the same words.”
Those words were like a slap to Lu Xingzhi’s face. However, everyone in the Lu family knew that Jiang Yao was probably the only person in the world who could have made him change. Therefore, no one in the family objected when Lu Xingzhi married Jiang Yao.
When Jiang Yao heard that, she smiled. She could tell that she had been in Lu Xingzhi’s thoughts for a long time. He had probably liked her since she was young.
Jiang Yao really wanted to hear Lu Xingzhi’s voice after that conversation with his family.
However, she was still with Lu Xiaoxiao, so she could not call him. She decided to send a discreet text to him instead, and she did it under the table.
