《Can’t Take My Eyes Off You》Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Jiang Yao looked at her family members who were watching the program seriously, then whispered to Lu Xingzhi. "In the future, our children will learn calligraphy and foreign languages from you, learn the piano from Sister, and learn to dance!"
"Sister-in-law, it's so pitiful to be your child," Lu Xiaoxiao said. "Their schedule is even tighter than their father's."
Jiang Yao did not expect that Lu Xiaoxiao would hear her and Lu Xingzhi's private conversation. Lu Xiaoxiao even replied to her so casually. She touched the tip of her nose in embarrassment and said, "Your brother's calligraphy and foreign languages are excellent. I also play the piano well. Look at those dancers; they have such good figures!"
When Lu Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yao brought up that topic, Mr. and Mrs. Lu said, "Indeed. After a child is born, you have to develop their interests and hobbies from a young age. If they have those interests and hobbies, then they won't spend time on other things. It's also the right way to guide the child on a better path from a young age."
"But if the child doesn't like them, then don't force them to do it; it's useless. It's still up to the child's interests and hobbies." Jiang Jie smiled. "Just like you and your second brother. Since you were young, you liked to study, so our parents did not need to urge you to do that. You would study very consciously, but your second brother would not. He doesn't like to study, so no matter how hard our parents urged him, it would not have much effect."
Lu Xingzhi thought for a long time before he asked Jiang Yao, "Does Cheng Jinyan's son know those things as well?"
"Then he wouldn't be Cheng Jinyan's son, right?" Jiang Yao shook her head. "That was also the first time I've seen that child. I don't know what kind of relationship he has with Cheng Jinyan. In any case, the two of them look a little alike, so they must be related by blood."

How would Jiang Yao know about other people's children?
She had just casually made a comment, but she did not expect it to become a common topic after Lu Xiaoxiao heard it. They did not even watch the performance.
Jiang Yao felt that it would not be wrong to leave the education of her future child to Lu Xingzhi. If she wanted to be a loving mother to her child, she would let Lu Xingzhi be the stern father. In any case, Lu Xingzhi was such a person that people would respect at a glance.
The performance of that evening party lasted for three hours before it ended. Everyone was still beaming with joy after it had ended. The military families held the young actors' hands and laughed happily.
Other than Mrs. Zhu's flute solo, the other programs could not be considered good due to the hastily arranged program. Everyone, however, was paying attention to the atmosphere and liveliness. They observed the familiar faces on the stage, and no one said anything negative.
The next morning, Lu Xingzhi went out early for morning exercises as usual. Jiang Yao took her family to the military's bus station in Jin City to take a bus to Jindo City to meet up with Zhou Weiqi and the other two.
As it was the Chinese New Year, the number of buses had decreased. The one-hour bus ride to Jindo City had been changed to only three buses in half a day.
After Jiang Yao bought the tickets at the bus station, she handed them to Mrs. Lu for safekeeping. She and Lu Xiaoxiao went to the snack bar at the bus station entrance to buy water for everyone.
After they left the waiting hall for a few minutes, Jiang Yao did not expect a van to come from the side of the road suddenly. Then, a few people got out of the vehicle. They were well-prepared. After they got out of the car, they walked toward Jiang Yao and Lu Xiaoxiao and covered their noses with a towel. Then, they quickly dragged her and Lu Xiaoxiao into the car without saying a word.

Bleeding Roses
"I will accept your resignation but under one condition," said Vikram Singhal, playing with the paperweight akin to the manner he was playing with the woman trembling in fury."And why are you under the impression that I will respect that condition, SIR?"Shikha feigned determination, knowing that if Vikram Singhal wanted something, he would get it by hook or by crook. She knew that her words would merely count as feeble and futile efforts of a fawn to fight off the mighty lion and nothing more.Her shivering form and quivering lips had given away her fears to her predator. His pupils dilated with desire and a lethally addicting ecstasy as he inched closer every moment in fulfilling them."You cannot leave the company without serving your notice period, until and unless, you pay me a compensation of ₹3,00,000, and as far as I know it is not possible in your case to bring that amount. That leaves you with no choice, but to comply with my wishes," said Vikram. He smirked victoriously at her rattled form.She inhaled sharply, gathering every bit of strength remaining in her and hoped against the hope that he would not demand what she had imagined."What do you want, Sir?""You. I want you."__________Vikram Singhal, a ruthless and shrewd gangster, ruled the business world under the guise of a business owner and ruled the whole of Uttar Pradesh as a dictator, till he falls for the naïve and innocent Shikha Agarwal after a chance encounter.
