Can't Take My Eyes Off You

C 194-195

"These are given in good faith by the Qi family, also intended as an apology. Sergeant Lu, Ms. Jiang, anyone that makes mistakes has to pay a price, right? To at least prevent it from happening again." Huang Chengjing smiled wryly, trusting Lu Xingzhi to understand what he really meant with those words.

Even Jiang Yao understood what he wanted to suggest. Huang Chengjing was here to ask for a favor for the Qi family, albeit unwillingly.

Only then did Lu Xingzhi seize the documents and gave it to Jiang Yao without even looking at them. "Have a look and choose whichever you like."

She laid them on her lap and began flipping through the thick folder. The document folder contained the entire portfolio of the Qi family's property. It was a complete list and recorded everything down to a tee, including the shares that they had acquired.

"Which one do you think is the best?" Jiang Yao looked at Lu Xingzhi.

"Whichever you prefer," Lu Xingzhi replied casually.

Huang Chengjing was shocked upon hearing that. The Qi family had a huge portfolio of properties and each one of these was valued differently. There was a vast difference in the respective values of each individual property, thus, he had not expected Lu Xingzhi to encourage Jiang Yao to pick randomly, ignoring the worth of each of the properties.

Lu Xingzhi seemed to be quite stubborn, Huang Chengjing thought. Jiang Yao too!

Nevertheless, Huang Chengjing expected them to choose the one with the highest valuation.

"I want this hospital." Jiang Yao took out the corresponding folder. "If I remember correctly, this is the hospital where Chen Zhibin and Chairman Huang is currently at."

"Absolutely. The Qi family has a sixty percent stake in the ownership of this particular hospital, giving them absolute decision-making rights." Huang Chengjing was slightly surprised. It seemed to him that Jiang Yao had actually made a solid decision. This hospital had a good cashflow and was making plenty of profit daily. Moreover, just by looking at how much the Qi family owned, it showed that they were bullish in the hospital's development.

Lu Xingzhi was slightly confused. He looked at Jiang Yao who was feeling happy with her decision. Why had she chosen this hospital?

Jiang Yao was in school studying to become a doctor, could it be that she wanted to work there once she graduated?

It was just moments ago when she had told him that she would follow him wherever after her graduation, yet now, she was already deciding on her backup options?

Lu Xingzhi was slightly unsatisfied with her decision, however, looking at Jiang Yao's face that was brimming with contentment, he chose to say nothing instead. He turned toward Huang Chengjing and said, "General Manager Huang, for matters concerning the Zhang family, we thank you for your help. We did owe you a favor, so I suppose we can return that with our choice of this hospital."

"Of course! We, the Huang Family, still owe a huge favor toward Ms. Jiang, though," Huang Chengjing replied resignedly.

"That is not untrue after all. Under absolutely no condition will she be under someone else's debt," Lu Xingzhi said. "Let the Qi family work out the transfer of ownership immediately. Once it is done, have Qi Xiang deliver the documents here and personally apologize to Jiang Yao. We will call it even then."

"Understood. Sergeant Lu, Ms. Jiang, you have my thanks." Huang Chengjing nodded. He was taken by surprise at how the frosty Sergeant Lu actually had such a way with his wife.

Huang Chengjing kept all the documents into the folder and stood up. Jiang Yao wanted to see Huang Chengjing to the door but was stopped promptly by Lu Xingzhi.

After Huang Chengjing had left, Lu Xingzhi declared, "Never escort someone insignificant like him to the door. Do it when I leave instead!"

Jiang Yao glanced at Lu Xingzhi and rolled her eyes. She knew he was trying to display his dominance.

"Why did you choose the hospital?" Lu Xingzhe asked coldly.

"Well, you were the one asking me to choose whichever I wanted!" Jiang Yao was puzzled by his sudden irritation.

"Wait, were you planning to work there once you graduate?" Lu Xingzhe asked again, his tone riddled with a slight bitterness.

"Are you kidding me? Sixty percent stake at ownership and absolute decision-making power, I am not looking at any position lower than a Chairman's." Jiang Yao chuckled. She figured that Lu Xingzhe was afraid that she would choose to stay back at Nanjiang City if she did end up working at the hospital.

She could not believe that this was the reason why he had suddenly looked so sullen.

What a petty man!

"I swear to move to either Jindo City or Jin City with you when I graduate!" Jiang Yao embraced Lu Xingzhi and gave him a little peck on the lips. "Also, I want to have children! Once I am done with school, let me have your baby!"

"What about the hospital?" Lu Xingzhi asked again, but this time, gently. The kiss had undoubtedly worked.

"Of course I still want it! That is a lot of money after all." Jiang Yao's eyes sparkled. "But you know, the hospital does not need its majority shareholder to be working every day. I am going to make money anyway. The first thing on my bucket list after graduation is to have a baby with you!"

Lu Xingzhi broke into a smile. He knew it would be at least a few more years before Jiang Yao graduated, but hearing that still made his heart flutter.

"As you wish. Let's have a kid when you are out of school."

Her wanting to have kids together meant that she was committed to the relationship and wanted to be with him forever.

"You look thrilled. I should have snapped a picture and sent it to Dad and Mum!" Jiang Yao stretched her arms out and brushed his lips with her fingers. Being together with Lu Xingzhi enabled her to act wantonly at her own discretion. Whatever she did, she would still be his little woman.

"It is only for your eyes." Lu Xingzhi laughed. He grabbed her hands and with a quick turn of his body, held her down. He grazed her lips with his tongue, skipping the kiss, and asked, "Did you not miss me?"

He still remembered everything from that phone call!

"No!" Jiang Yao snickered. "I did not even think about you!"

Lu Xingzhi was not irked by her response. Deep down, he knew that she was lying.

That chance encounter outside the hospital followed by her enthusiastic embrace and loving gaze had shown him everything he needed to know.

Some feelings were better expressed with actions rather than with words.

"It's fine! I missed you!" Lu Xingzhe straightened his back and whispered in her ears, "He missed you."

Jiang Yao's body stiffened at his last remark. She bit her lips and glared at the person whose body was pressing onto hers. "You nasty..."

Nasty Lu laughed at her. That laughter had such a deep rumble, making it sound so sensual and seductive that Jiang Yao could not hold on to her reservedness anymore.
