2301: No Way

No Way

Something happy?1

Jiang Yao's eyebrows twitched, and she immediately put her hand back into her pocket. "No way."

Someone was acting as if he did not have anything important to do.

Lu Xingzhi chuckled but said nothing. First, he blew Jiang Yao's hair dry. She would catch a cold if he did not blow dry her hair quickly since the weather had turned cold.

Jiang Yao did not speak, and neither did Lu Xingzhi. For a brief moment, the only sound in the room was the hair dryer working.

Twenty minutes later, Lu Xingzhi put the hair dryer back, sat up straight, and kissed the back of Jiang Yao's head. "That's done."

Jiang Yao yawned as she climbed onto the bed. Her stomach had been getting more prominent recently, and her movements, which used to be as agile as a monkey's, were slow.

Lu Xingzhi put her hands behind Jiang Yao's back to protect her from falling onto the bed.

Jiang Yao drew up the blanket and wrapped it around herself after lying down. She used the opportunity to kick Lu Xingzhi before closing her eyes and falling asleep.

Lu Xingzhi lowered his head and looked at Jiang Yao's feet. He stuffed her feet back into the blanket. He chuckled softly and turned off the lights in the room.

Was she supposed to go to sleep?

Jiang Yao was so enraged that she almost cried. Did he not prepare a gift for her?

How infuriating! 

She had racked her brains to come up with a birthday present for him. He had nothing to show for it when it was her birthday!

She would not be so disappointed if he had a flower for her!

Jiang Yao even wanted to hug Lu Xingzhi to test his feelings for her. Otherwise, how could he be so dismissive of a birthday that meant so much to her?

Lu Xingzhi's movements were light, and Jiang Yao was lying with her back to him, so she did not notice when he turned off the lights and climbed out of bed.

Lu Xingzhi returned to the bed after retrieving something from the cabinet and hugged Jiang Yao from behind. He leaned against her shoulder. "Are you upset?"

"I'm very! Disappointed! With You!" Jiang Yao emphasized the word disappointed in her tone. Then, she used her palm to push the face on her shoulder. She did not want to look at him then. 

"What if I give you a bouquet of flowers? Will you still be angry?" Lu Xingzhi avoided Jiang Yao's hand and offered her a bouquet of beautiful red roses. He wrapped his arms around Jiang Yao's chest and gently placed the flowers in front of Jiang Yao. He was meticulous, and her nose just happened to touch one of the flowers.

It was a genuine rose bouquet and carried the fragrance of flowers. The lighting in the room was poor, but Jiang Yao could clearly see the flowers' color.

Jiang Yao had guessed what gift Lu Xingzhi would give her, but she had not expected a bouquet of flowers.

"Zhou Junmin had previously given me a bouquet of fake flowers. I noticed you did not even blink as you stared at it. I guessed you would like it," Lu Xingzhi said as he laughed.

"Who didn't blink their her eyes? Clearly, you were the one who liked the flowers Zhou Junmin sent you. You even put them in a vase." Jiang Yao bluntly exposed Lu Xingzhi. "Your face was as black as a pot when Zhou Junmin came to take those flowers back."

"However, I know that you enjoy flowers as well. Was I wrong? Let's throw them away if you don't like them." Lu Xingzhi spoke as he took the flowers.
