Chapter 1837 I Don’t Want To
“She might be tired and hungry.” A servant walked out of the kitchen. “There’s supper in the kitchen. Why don’t you wake her up to have some?”
“No need. You eat first, Sister, and leave some in the kitchen fridge. She might wake up in the middle of the night because she’s hungry. I’ll warm it up for her then.” Lu Xingzhi carried her upstairs. “We’ll rest for now. You and Auntie should rest early after supper.”
“I know, I know. I’m your sister. There’s no need for you to nag me,” Lu Yuqing replied with a smile. Then, she watched Lu Xingzhi carry Jiang Yao upstairs.
Jiang Yao woke up when Lu Xingzhi placed her on the bed. When she let go of the box and turned around, Lu Xingzhi asked, “Do you want to take a shower before sleeping?”
Jiang Yao shook her head. “I don’t want to.”
She immediately fell asleep the second after she answered him.
She was sleeping soundly, and Lu Xingzhi’s heart ached even more. She must have worked hard on that surgery. She was so tired that she did not even want to shower.
He would have let Du Chen be if he had known earlier.
Lu Xingzhi thought that Jiang Yao would wake up hungry in the middle of the night, but he was afraid that she would not be willing to wake him up for food, so he did not fall into a deep sleep. However, Jiang Yao slept like a pig the whole night. She slept until daybreak, and when she opened her eyes, it was also 8:00 a.m. Lu Xingzhi did not do anything the entire night.
When she got up, Jiang Yao said, “I’m so hungry.”
Then, she went to the bathroom to wash her hair and take a shower. After that, she was so hungry that she could not stand it anymore and immediately went downstairs with her wet hair.
“I’m not used to being at home and not going to the office at this hour.”
When Jiang Yao went downstairs, she saw Lu Yuqing sitting in the living room talking to Lu Xingzhi. She was surprised. Lu Yuqing had always been a punctual person who left home at 8:00 a.m. every day and arrived at the office at 8:30 a.m.
“In an hour, I will attend the Nanjiang City Young Entrepreneur Exchange meeting with Huang Chengjing. I’m too lazy to take a detour from the office, so I’m not going to the office this morning,” Lu Yuqing explained.
Lu Xingzhi was heating milk for Jiang Yao. When he saw her with her hair still wet, he was displeased.
“Come and have a glass of milk,” Lu Xingzhi called out to Jiang Yao. He pushed the glass of milk toward Jiang Yao and called for the servant to quickly bring her some breakfast. Then, he went upstairs to take a dry towel for her.
Jiang Yao knew why he brought the towel, so she made a face at Lu Xingzhi and continued to eat her food.
With Lu Xingzhi around, she did not need to exert too much effort to take care of herself. She could enjoy Lu Xingzhi’s meticulous care of her, and she could also act coquettishly with him without any scruples because she knew that he would take good care of her, spoiling her uncontrollably.
Lu Yuqing looked at her younger brother, who was carefully drying Jiang Yao’s hair, and she felt touched.
Even when she was at her best with Zhao Zhuangzong, Lu Yuqing had never seen such a gentle expression in Zhao Zhuangzong’s eyes when he took care of her.
Therefore, Lu Yuqing finally understood Jiang Yao’s words. No matter who made the compromise, someone would always suffer a loss. However, for someone who loved the other person deeply, no matter what they did for the other party, they would not feel any loss.
