2305 Don’t Mean What You Say

When Lu Xingzhi noticed Jiang Yao’s beautiful brows were knitted, he reached out to touch them and comforted her. “Everything is fine. Let’s go have some breakfast.”

Jiang Yao nodded and pushed all of those minor concerns to the back of her mind. She stood up and looked at the bouquet of roses that Lu Xingzhi had left by the side the night before. She walked over to them and happily hugged them before following Lu Xingzhi out of the room.

Jiang Yao placed the flowers in the vase given to Lu Xingzhi by Zhou Junmin. She waited until Lu Xingzhi and Mrs. Jiang called her to the dining table for the third time before taking a step back and turning around to admire the flowers in the vase from all angles. She only moved to the dining table after that.

“You don’t mean what you say,” Lu Xingzhi scooped a big bowl of porridge for Jiang Yao and placed it in front of her. He teased her softly. It was true that women loved flowers. Even someone like Jiang Yao could not help but like those beautiful flowers.

Jiang Yao took the spoon and whispered, “It’s not that I don’t mean what I say. Actually, I don’t like flowers, but it depends on who sent them to me.”

When she was in the hospital in the past, no one had sent her flowers. There were various flowers, but none of them had been sent to her by Lu Xingzhi.

That flower bouquet meant a lot to her. That was the first bouquet Lu Xingzhi had given her, and it had been such a special day the day before.

“Did Lu Xingzhi give you that bracelet?” Mrs. Jiang had noticed the light green bracelet on Jiang Yao’s wrist. Even from her vantage point, the bracelet was stunning and eye-catching.

Jiang Yao nodded. She had taken off her earring before she went to bed, but she could not bear to take off the bracelet. The color of the bracelet was slightly different under the lights compared to the natural light. There was no light, so the jade looked a little plainer, but it was still lovely.

“Xingzhi designed it himself.” Jiang Yao was showing off a little. “Mom, isn’t it beautiful?”

“Of course, it looks good. On your hands, anything looks good.” Mrs. Jiang smiled brightly. Jiang Yao had spent the entire day yesterday staring at Lu Xingzhi. Mrs. Jiang knew that Jiang Yao was anticipating Lu Xingzhi’s gift. However, she did not see Lu Xingzhi bring out a gift even when she went to sleep last night.

Mrs. Jiang thought Lu Xingzhi was not allowed to go out those few days, so he could not get a gift for Jiang Yao. She did not expect Lu Xingzhi to give one to Jiang Yao in private.

It made sense when she thought about it. Lu Xingzhi had lavished his wife with gifts. How could he remain silent on such an important day?

Jiang Yao had no idea what her mother was thinking, but after hearing the answer she most wanted to hear, Jiang Yao felt as happy as if she had gotten up early and drank a jar of honey. Without Lu Xingzhi urging her, she had already finished the entire bowl of porridge. She was in a good mood.

Jiang Yao, who even looked at the bracelet on Lu Xingzhi’s hand while she was eating, made Lu Xingzhi’s heart skip a beat. She liked the gift he gave her and, more importantly, she liked the person who gave it to her.
