Chapter 797: No backing out

“Go ahead,” Jiang Yao agreed.

“You have to keep your promise.” Lu Xingzhi confirmed worriedly. “So, are you sure you’d agree with my wish?”

Jiang Yao nodded again. Then, she looked at him. “What is your wish?”

She saw Lu Xingzhi’s cold face reveal a smile—bit by bit. He lowered his face and whispered into her ear, “I bought you a new set of clothes. Wear it for me.”

“Okay, go and get it for me.” Jiang Yao sat up straight and pushed Lu Xingzhi, who looked at her in astonishment. “Didn’t you say that you bought me a new set of clothes and want me to wear them so that you can see? Go and get it for me.”

Jiang Yao did not know why Lu Xingzhi would grind her for such a long time over such a small matter.

She was happy if he found the time to buy her clothes after his exam. He wanted to see her wear it, so why would she refuse?

Lu Xingzhi was stunned for a few seconds. Jiang Yao had agreed so readily that he wondered if he had misheard her.

He looked at his luggage—someone had tampered with the zipper. Did she already see what was inside the bag? Perhaps that was why she had avoided him—it was because she had seen what was inside. She did not want him to pester her, and she even wanted to leave the room.

However, she had agreed so quickly, and with such an innocent look on her face, so Lu Xingzhi was suspicious of that. It was apparent that she did not know anything.

Perhaps he got out of the bathroom coincidentally, so she did not have time to look at it and had to put it back.

If she had not seen it, then why would she blush when they were on the bed?

When Jiang Yao urged him again, Lu Xingzhi was sure that she had not seen the things in his luggage. Otherwise, she would not be so silly as to encourage him again and again. She looked like she could not wait to see what new clothes he had bought for her.

After Jiang Yao urged him again, Lu Xingzhi got down from the bed. He opened his luggage bag to retrieve the pink paper bag. He looked inside with his back toward Jiang Yao and confirmed that the things inside were what he had bought. Then, he handed the paper bag to Jiang Yao and said, “You can’t go back on your word.”

Jiang Yao rolled her eyes at Lu Xingzhi. “Do I not have any credibility with you? When have I ever failed to do what I promised you?”

Lu Xingzhi reached out and pinched the paper bag that she was about to open. He answered thoughtfully, “It’s very likely this time.”

“Don’t worry! It’s just a piece of clothing. If you want to see me wear it, then I’ll wear it for you!” Jiang Yao felt as if Lu Xingzhi underestimated her credibility.

“Yaoyao, remember every word that you’re saying now. If you go back on your word…” Lu Xingzhi immediately changed his tune. “You’ll have no chance to go back on your word.”

Even if she were to go back on her word, he would still make her fulfill her promise obediently.

Jiang Yao snorted and made a face at him. Then, she pulled the paper bag out of his hand. It was pretty light, so she thought it must have been made of silk. Then she reached into the back and retrieved the piece of soft clothing.

In her hand, it was very thin and small. She rolled it into a ball in her palm—it was only as big as her palm.

She looked at Lu Xingzhi in confusion. As she shook the cloth, she muttered, “What dress is this?”

She did not wait for Lu Xingzhi’s answer; she looked at the dress she had already shaken open.
