Can’t Take My Eyes Off You Chapter 1316 - Return Home

Chapter 1316: Return Home

It was a beautiful winter scene in HL. It was snowing there. Jiang Yao spent half a day looking out the window at the city covered in snow.
It was gorgeous. It was plain white, like a pure white wedding dress.
It was already past lunchtime. The hotel’s lunch had already been served on the table. Jiang Yao only took a few bites and lost her appetite. Then, she supported her head and watched as Lu Xingzhi ate all the food she had left.
At that moment, Jiang Yao’s phone rang. She hurriedly jumped from the chair and ran back to the French window to pick up the phone.
“Mother’s surgery was very successful. Now, she has been sent to the ward. The doctors said that the medicine you gave her was magical. Your medicine gave the doctors many chances to save her.” Cheng Jinyan’s tone was a little moved. “Jiang Yao, thank you.”
“Okay,” Jiang Yao replied in a low voice. Then, without saying anything, she hung up the phone.
She held the phone in her hand, and her heart was beating rapidly.
“How is she?” Lu Xingzhi asked carefully.
“Let’s go home after we’re done eating.” Jiang Yao smiled in relief. There were tears in her eyes, but she forcefully held them back.
Seeing that, Lu Xingzhi knew the answer. The heavens were kind to Madam Cheng. She would come out of the operating theatre alive.
Since Jiang Yao did not want to go to the hospital to visit Madam Cheng after the surgery, Lu Xingzhi did not force her to go. After dinner, the two checked out of their room and went back to their country.
When they reached their hometown, it was already past five o’clock in the morning the next day. When they entered the house, they saw Mrs. Lu, who had gone downstairs to the kitchen to make breakfast. When she heard the sound of the door opening, Mrs. Lu saw that the couple had returned home. They were exhausted, and she was shocked.
“Why are you back at this time?” Mrs. Lu rushed to the door. “Look at you two; you look so tired. Go upstairs and rest.”
Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi were very tired. They had rushed home from HL. Lu Xingzhi had been accompanying her and worrying about her every day for those few days because of her problems. She had not had a good rest, and she also felt sorry for Lu Xingzhi.
When she heard Mrs. Lu urging her and Lu Xingzhi to rest, she did not decline. She went back to their room with Lu Xingzhi, and the two of them fell asleep immediately.
When they woke up, it was already afternoon. It was already past lunchtime, so it was clear how deep the two of them had slept.
“You’re awake?” Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu were in the living room, watching TV with low volume. When they saw the two of them coming downstairs, they hurriedly went to the kitchen to get a hot lunch for the two of them. “You two look much better after a nap. You looked like refugees in the morning.”
“It’s not an exaggeration.” Jiang Yao smiled lightly.
“Yaoyao, you’ve lost a lot of weight.” Mrs. Lu’s heart ached. “Tell me, why did you follow your teacher to the countryside? Did you suffer? Did you have to work on a farm under the sun? Just like the educated youths in the past?”
“That’s not the case. I just went there for a free clinic. I was exposed to too much sun,” Jiang Yao replied casually. It was only natural that her skin would get tanned. After all, the sun was like poison in Shu City. Even in winter, the wind in Shu City could blow people away.
Jiang Yao thought, ‘It looks like the next time I return to Shu City, I’ll have to get some sun protection lotion from the system. If I’m not pretty anymore, my dark face won’t be as lovable as it is now.’
