Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Chapter 2164: How Interested Are You?

Jiang Yao was delighted when she felt the child’s display of strength after she finished speaking. The child was her son, indeed. Her husband was not her son, so there was no need to consider him.

Jiang Yao smiled. She kept her hands on her belly as she fell asleep because of the child’s vivacity.

She could endure her husband’s absence because she had her son with her.

However, Jiang Yao’s heart was still thinking about the man before she fell asleep.

She missed him so much, and he probably missed her as well.

The moon was cold, and the wind was blowing.

The curtains in the bedroom fluttered gently in the breeze, and swaying shadows danced on the floor.

The person in the bed did not sleep well. Her dreams haunted her for the entire night. When she awoke, she would panic and turn on the bedside lamp, sitting for a few minutes. Then she would sigh as she stared blankly at the empty side of the bed. She would lie down again.

Jiang Yao felt she did not get a good night’s sleep after having nightmares for the entire night. Mrs. Jiang woke her up in the morning to have breakfast, and the dark circles under her eyes had already appeared. She did not feel very energetic. It was as if she had not gotten a good night’s sleep the night before.

Mrs. Jiang asked, “Didn’t you sleep early last night? Why do you still look like you have not slept enough?”

“I went to bed early but spent the entire night dreaming. I did not sleep well, so I was even more tired.” Jiang Yao pressed her head against the dining table; her entire body seemed timed. “Once I fell asleep, I would have scary dreams. At one time, a monster opened its bloody mouth at me. Then, I dreamt that someone had snatched my newborn baby. I also dreamed about Xingzhi driving in a sandstorm in the desert. None of the dreams were good.”

Jiang Yao’s sleep had always been excellent, and because her body was well-nourished, she rarely had dreams when she slept, whether she was pregnant or not.

Her frequent dreams over the last two days were unlike anything she had ever had, and they were all bad.

After hearing that, Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Jiang’s expressions froze. They thought it was a bad omen.

Mrs. Jiang was about to rejoice because Jiang Yao did not appear to be having such thoughts when she heard Jiang Yao say something.

“Mom, do you think it’s an omen that something is about to happen?”

People said that nothing good ever came true; only bad things would. Just as Jiang Yao spoke, the cell phone she had left in the room suddenly rang.

Mr. Jiang glanced at Jiang Yao’s room to get her cell phone. Mrs. Jiang stood beside Jiang Yao and scolded her for speaking nonsense. “Don’t speak of nonsense in the morning.”

Mr. Jiang walked quickly and handed the phone to Jiang Yao.

“It’s an unknown number,” Mr. Jiang said.

Jiang Yao looked at it and picked it up. “Hello.”

“Jiang Yao.” A man’s voice suddenly came from the phone. The voice sounded strange, or rather, it sounded unpleasant. Jiang Yao could not tell the man’s age from those two words.

“Vho’s this?” Jiang Yao asked.

“It doesn’t matter who I am. The important thing is that I have Zhou Xiaocheng’s body.” The man laughed. “You don’t seem to be interested in Zhou Xiaocheng’s body. Then, how interested are you in Lu Xingzhi’s?”

“What do you mean?” Jiang Yao’s entire body stiffened, and her voice sounded hurried..
