Chapter 1070: Let’s Go For A Ride
After dinner, Lu Xingzhi drove Jiang Yao home. They had just left her parents’ home, and she was in a happy mood. As she sat in the front passenger seat, she would gently hum the most popular song of the day.
Jiang Yao’s singing was not good. Occasionally, she would go out of tune and forget the lyrics. However, Lu Xingzhi felt refreshed listening to her singing. She lightly hummed a tune, and the expression on her face was very gentle. The corners of her lips were relaxed into a smile. A pair of eyes that seemed to be able to speak was looking out of the window. Occasionally, they would turn around and look at his face for two seconds before moving away and continuing to sing as if nothing had happened.
Lu Xingzhi pretended not to notice that she was secretly observing his gaze. He pretended not to notice that her singing was out of tune. As he watched Jiang Yao continue to sing happily, his eyes that were looking at the road ahead were filled with a hint of a smile.
It was rare for her to be so relaxed by his side. The atmosphere was so good that Lu Xingzhi did not even want to go home right away, so he deliberately took two detours.
Jiang Yao only snapped back to her senses after a long time. Lu Xingzhi had driven for an hour, and they were still not home despite the fact that it was only a 20-minute journey. “Where are you going?”
Jiang Yao retracted her lazy posture and turned to look at Lu Xingzhi. “Don’t think that I don’t know that you’ve circled this place twice! Twice!”
She raised a finger at Lu Xingzhi and waved it in front of him. Although her mind had been wandering, it did not mean that she did not notice that the time was not right. Logically speaking, they should have been home by then.
“Well, since you’re in a good mood, I’ll take you out for a ride.” Lu Xingzhi was not embarrassed by Jiang Yao’s question. He said with a natural expression, “It’s rare for me to take you out for a ride. Do you not like it?”
Jiang Yao thought about it and shook her head. “Even if there’s a heater in the car, it’s still not as warm as home.”
She was so honest and cute that Lu Xingzhi could not say anything.
When the two of them returned home, the whole family was still watching TV in the living room. Other people’s entertainment at that time was probably going to other people’s houses to chat, but in the Lu family, Mr. and Mrs. Lu liked to watch the news on the TV or listen to the radio. Those appliances could not be found in other people’s homes, but in the Lu family, they were very common.
“You’re home? It’s freezing outside tonight, isn’t it? It seems like it’s been frosty for the past two days, and the wind is icy.” Mrs. Lu hurriedly heated two cups of milk and placed them in front of them.
“Thank you, Mom.” Jiang Yao took the milk and thanked her as she said, “It’s actually okay for us to sit in the car and turn on the heater.”
Then, she took the milk and sat next to Lu Yuqing. At that time, their second uncle had not gone back yet. It was nearly New Year’s Eve, and their second uncle’s factory was closed. Those few days were his most free days of the year.
Jiang Yao stuck her head out and looked at the thing in their second uncle’s hand. When she saw it, she knew it was a photo. She looked up at Lu Yuqing’s helpless expression and guessed that it was probably for Lu Yuqing.
“Yaoyao is back too. It’s good that Yaoyao and Xingzhi can help you with your references!” Second Uncle Lu handed the photo to Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi, who sat next to Jiang Yao. “Help your sister take a look. I personally selected these outstanding young men. Some of them have never been married, and some of them are widowers. However, they don’t have children, so you don’t have to be a stepmother. “
