My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection

Chapter 200:

After the two of them closed the glass door to the studio, they went together to the barbecue restaurant in front of Chunxi Road that they frequented.Cen Jin ordered the pork belly, fatty beef, and bacon that they always ordered. Once everything was served, Cen Jin picked up the tongs and scissors and started grilling, smiling as she said, "It’s been a while since we’ve been to this place."

"Not only that, it’s been ages since I’ve had barbecue," Ye Lingran also picked up another pair of tongs to help, smiling as she replied.

"Hehe, mainly it’s because we’ve been too busy lately. Once we’re past the 10th, it should be a bit more relaxed."

"I doubt it will be that relaxed. The fashion show in Milan is about to start, and then we have to head over to Milan."

"True, the date for the fashion show is coming up soon."

When the meat was almost done grilling, they picked up their chopsticks to start eating. Suddenly, Ye Lingran remembered something, looked up at her and asked, "Oh right, Cen Jin, you mentioned last time that Jiang Baizhou’s house is almost done with renovations, right?"

"Yes, almost done. It’s reaching the final stages these days." Cen Jin picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, nodding while answering indistinctly.

"So when are you planning to move in?"

"We’ve scheduled it for the 15th of this month."

"The 16th?"

"Mm-hmm."

"Isn’t that your birthday?"

"Yes!" Cen Jin smiled sweetly, looking up at her, "You remembered!"

"Of course, I would definitely remember your birthday clearly!"

Cen Jin smiled bashfully, placing a piece of pork belly in her dish and explained, "The construction will be completed by the 10th or so, and Jiang Baizhou has already taken care of the furnishings in advance. We just need to move in with our bags. Initially, I didn’t think about the birthday aspect, but Jiang Baizhou kept insisting that Designer Luo finish everything before the 16th and said we should move in on the 16th. I was curious and asked him about it. He said he wanted us to move in on my birthday because it’s a special meaning for me."

"Jiang Baizhou really put a lot of thought into this, how considerate," Ye Lingran chuckled and teased, "I didn’t expect it. Jiang Baizhou always seems so indifferent, yet he’s so romantic and attentive to these details."

Cen Jin looked down and laughed. She was actually quite surprised herself that this matter would be tied to her birthday. She was also especially astonished and touched when she heard about it.

"Oh, speaking of which, on the 16th, Jiang Baizhou reserved a table at Yuwan Building to celebrate my birthday. Plus, since we’re moving into the new house, we’re having a housewarming party along with friends and family. You have to come, no excuses!" Speaking of this, Cen Jin recalled it too, her pretty face full of a serious expression, looking at her as if saying, ’If you refuse, we’re breaking up as friends.’

Ye Lingran smiled gently, nodded seriously, "Don’t worry, I wouldn’t miss it for the world. In the three-plus years I’ve known you, have I ever missed one of your birthdays? I’ve already prepared a birthday gift, but it seems like I’ll need to prepare a housewarming gift as well."

"No need, just having you there is enough. We’re so close, no need for such formalities. The housewarming gift is just a figure of speech, just think of it as a gathering for a meal."

"That won’t do, a gift should be given."

Just as Cen Jin was about to say something, Ye Lingran pointed at the meat on the iron plate: "Quick, eat, everything on top is about to burn. Whether or not to give a gift is my business, whether or not to accept it is yours. It’s not like you can return it to me that day."

Cen Jin: "..."
