Chapter 1081: Let Me Guess
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Yaoyao,” Lu Xingzhi suddenly called out to someone who seemed to be asleep. His voice was very soft, but he was only testing whether she was sleeping or not. When he heard her faint reply, he continued to ask, “What birthday present did you prepare for me? Let me guess?”
Jiang Yao raised her eyes and glanced at Lu Xingzhi. Then, she turned around and threw the back of her head at him, not wanting to play the guessing game with him.
That guy was like a cunning fox. How could she hide them if he asked a few more questions? He would be able to find out with just a few words.
“I’m sleepy. I’m going to sleep.” Even though Jiang Yao turned around, she still took Lu Xingzhi’s hand and put it on her waist. She liked it when he slept with her in his arms. It would make her feel at ease.
Lu Xingzhi chuckled behind her. He was not annoyed. When he heard that she was sleepy, he did not continue to disturb her. He also closed his eyes and prepared to rest.
Jiang Yao waited for Lu Xingzhi to fall asleep before she entered the medical system. She did not waste any time. She asked the butler to give her the recipe that she had mentioned that could make people only give birth to daughters and not sons.
It was not that she was wicked, but no one in Lu Weihua’s family was virtuous.
With the medical system, Jiang Yao concocted the medicine very quickly. She had already finished the mixture at dawn. When she exited the system and saw that Lu Xingzhi was still not awake, she nestled in his arms and stared at his beauty.
Jiang Yao did not feel sleepy at all when she exited the medical system. Staying in the system for an entire night would only make her feel energetic.
Lu Xingzhi woke easily. Jiang Yao raised her hand to touch his eyelashes, and he quickly opened his eyes. It was apparent he had been in a deep sleep just a second ago, but when he opened his eyes, there was no hint of sleepiness in his eyes; it was full of clarity and vigilance due to occupational reasons. That vigilance was only withdrawn when he saw that it was Jiang Yao’s hand.
He was like a wild leopard that pretended to be asleep; he woke up in an instant.
Jiang Yao chuckled.
She withdrew her hand and explained a little embarrassedly. “Your eyelashes are very long, so my hand itches to touch them.”
“You woke up so early?”
Although his eyes were bright, his voice was still a little hoarse and deep after a night of sleep. Lu Xingzhi moved his body and moved closer to Jiang Yao’s side. There was not a single gap left between the two of them. He took the opportunity to grab her hand that was harassing him and kissed it.
Then, he picked up his watch from the bedside table and looked at the time. It was only around five o’clock; he threw the watch back onto the table. “It’s still early. Sleep a little longer.”
Although Lu Xingzhi woke up early for morning exercises daily when he was in the army, he was home. Lu Xingzhi did not want to leave the bed so early. The bed could not hold his soft and delicate little wife like that.
The two of them slept until Mrs. Lu called them for breakfast. Before they went to bed the previous night, Lu Xingzhi said he would take Jiang Yao to the county town to buy something in the morning, so Mrs. Lu went upstairs to wake them.
When Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi went downstairs, Lu Xiaoxiao and Second Uncle Lu were also there from the house next door. The distance between the two houses was so close. Second Uncle Lu was not good at cooking, so he simply could not be bothered to do that; he brought Lu Xiaoxiao over for breakfast.
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard that Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao were going to the county town to buy things, she quickly said that she wanted to go too. She was probably afraid that she would be the third wheel, so she insisted on dragging Lu Yuqing along. So, they agreed to go out together. The four of them set off together.
