Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Chapter 1212: Don’t Eat It If It’s Expensive

Jiang Yao liked fruits, and she was not picky about them.

She had previously eaten a durian by accident, and while it smelled foul, she had loved the aromatic

taste. Unfortunately, she did not have any money at that time, so she could not buy a durian.

Imported fruits such as durian were not readily available, which meant Jiang Yao had not had any

chance to eat one.

She had forgotten about the existence of such a fruit after her rebirth. She only remembered the durian

when she thought about the cactus. She knew that it had harder thorns than cactus, so she told Big Ke

to get one for her.

Jiang Yao had strong hands, and she opened the durian without any difficulty. She put half of it beneath

the coffee table, placed the other half on the table, and began eating.

When Moe's head popped up, she gave him a piece. However, he rolled his eyes after he had a sniff. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Then, he dashed to the bathroom.

Jiang Yao burst out laughing. She sat on the sofa and continued to eat.

Before Lu Xingzhi returned home, he called Jiang Yao first. When he learned that she was already

home, he put on his thick coat, left his office cheerfully, and headed home.

One would not say that Lu Xingzhi had an excellent sense of smell, but the durian had a potent smell.

He paused at the door, and the moment he opened the door, an intense stench assaulted his nostril.

He took two big breaths before he changed his shoes. Then, he yelled, "Is the drain in our bathroom

clogged, Wife? Why does it smell like sh*t? It reeks. Come out! Hurry up! Don't stay in the room, and

open the doors and windows. Avoid remaining in the room and becoming enraged. Ventilate by

opening doors and windows. Please wait until I am done before you come in."

Lu Xingzhi thought that the sewer was clogged, but he knew he was wrong when he saw what his wife

was holding.

"What is that?" Lu Xingzhi shook his head. He strolled into the room and sat in front of Jiang Yao. She

looked satisfied and blissful. He raised his hand and wiped the yellow bits from her face with the back

of his hand. He decided not to ask Jiang Yao about the foul smell.

"Durian. It's an imported fruit, and it has many nutrients." After a short pause, Jiang Yao said, "I like it

very much, but it's very expensive."

Jiang Yao assumed Lu Xingzhi would say that it was okay as long as she loved it. Nothing in the world

was too expensive for Lu Xingzhi's wife.

She did not expect Lu Xingzhi to stay silent for a few seconds before he said, "If it's too expensive, then

don't eat it. Think of it as saving money."

Jiang Yao was dumbfounded. Then, she glanced at Lu Xingzhi. She immediately knew that he only

said that because he hated the durian's smell. He hated it so badly that he would not want her to eat it

even if she enjoyed it.

Jiang Yao chuckled. She had bought the durian for him to use as a pillow; could she still trick him?

"Try it. It doesn't smell good, but it's very delicious." Jiang Yao brought the fruit to Lu Xingzhi's lips, but

he took a few steps backward with a guarded look. He was afraid that she would force the durian into

his mouth.

"It is quite delectable," Jiang Yao slowly stated.

Lu Xingzhi shook his head; his expression was frosty. "Take it away!"

Then, he got up and went to open the window.
