Chapter 202 - 201: Can you be a decent person? _2
"Hey, are you listening to me?" Cen Jin drooped her little face and nudged him, seeing him still indifferent.Being pushed like that, Jiang Baizhou then tilted his head to look at her, a glint of deep meaning flashing in his eyes, seemingly pondering for a moment before gently pulling his thin lips: "You changed ’Dad, Mom’ quite smoothly, it’s pretty good."
Cen Jin was taken aback, her face turned red in an instant, and she glared at him angrily: "I’m talking about something serious with you! Can’t you be serious?"
"Isn’t what I’m saying serious?"
"Jiang Baizhou."
"Yes, I’m here, I heard everything you’re saying!" Jiang Baizhou’s lips curled into a smile, seriously responding to her.
Seeing him like that, Cen Jin knew he was deliberately teasing her, so she angrily withdrew her hand from his large palm and walked forward in annoyance.
Actually, this name-changing matter happened just two days ago. That evening, Miss Yu Hui made black chicken soup and specifically brought it over for her. Cen Jin took it and happily said, "Thank you, Aunt Hui Zi, sorry for troubling you to make soup for me so late."
Miss Yu Hui’s face sank immediately after hearing this, and she glanced at her reproachfully: "When is this, yet you are still calling me Aunt Hui Zi?"
At that time, Cen Jin was puzzled by her words, not understanding the meaning. Miss Yu Hui intentionally wore a stern face and said, "You have been licensed with Baizhou for days now, yet you keep calling me Aunt Hui Zi, Aunt Hui Zi, it’s so distant! You tell me, what should you call me?"
Cen Jin was momentarily stunned, immediately understood, but still felt a bit embarrassed, struggling for a while before calling out ’Mom.’ Miss Yu Hui was naturally delighted to respond and patted her shoulder, saying with a smile, "It’s okay, it’s normal not to get used to it now, take your time, just say it a few more times."
Afterwards, Cen Jin also received a big red envelope of name-change fees from both Miss Yu Hui and Jiang Yuyang. Originally, Cen Jin didn’t want to accept it, but Miss Yu Hui said it was a custom that couldn’t be discarded, so Cen Jin accepted it.
As expected, in the past few days, she really has become accustomed to calling; she doesn’t feel awkward and embarrassed at all.
Jiang Baizhou looked at her back and couldn’t help but laugh, immediately chasing after her to wrap his arm around her shoulder: "Don’t worry, wife, I’ll definitely do what you instructed, tomorrow I’ll talk to Xi Ze about it."
Cen Jin glanced at him, her expression finally relaxing: "That’s more like it."
However, Jiang Baizhou doesn’t have many friends, his circle is quite simple, apart from colleagues, only Lu Xize can be counted as a friend. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ N0velFire.ɴet
"Who are you planning to invite?"
"Ling Ran, Shi Shu, Feici, the three of them are essential, and also, I want to invite Yun Xi and Yun Qi. Although I haven’t known them for long, we did work together, and they are friends, too. Inviting them is the right thing to do, whether they come or not depends on them."
"Right." Jiang Baizhou replied lightly, slightly tightening his grip on her small hand, gently rubbing her palm with his thumb, his usual indifferent expression softened a lot.

The next morning, as Jiang Baizhou sent off his appointment patients and prepared to return to his office, he casually glanced at Lu Xize’s office and noticed the door was wide open. Guessing he was more or less finished, he changed direction and headed straight into his office.
Coincidentally, Lu Xize was making milk tea, and seeing him come in, a hint of surprise crossed his face: "Oh, Doctor Jiang gracing my humble abode, it’s truly an honor!"
This clinic has been open for so long, yet the number of times Jiang Baizhou has visited his office can be counted on one hand, and there’s even extra.
Jiang Baizhou kept his face expressionless and stared at him for a moment, then walked straight to the sofa and sat down, noticing the glass for patients was gone from the coffee table, indicating it’s been idle here for quite a while.
"Want a drink?" Seeing him sit down, Lu Xize gestured with the milk tea in his hand, but then thought better and took a sip himself: "Forget it, asking is pointless, you don’t like sweet drinks. You wouldn’t come here unless there was something up; although we’re under the same roof, if you come to my office, there must be something up! Come on, spill the beans. What brings you here? I’m quite curious."
"Cen Jin’s birthday is on the 16th."
Lu Xize listened and looked at him, nodding, and asked back: "Yes, and then?"
"The house over there can be completed in these two days, planning to move in on the 16th."
"Oh! Doctor Jiang has a little plan, planning to move in on Cen Jin’s birthday, impressive!" Lu Xize put down the cup, couldn’t help but tease him a couple of times, noticing him turning the ring on his ring finger, smirked and said, "Alright, stop showing off, always flaunting that lousy ring, ever thought about the feelings of a single guy like me?"
Listening, Jiang Baizhou stopped turning the ring, paused slightly for a few seconds, got up from the sofa, took a couple of steps forward, tilted his head, and glared at him: "The reservation for the night of the 16th is at Yuwan Building, six thirty, remember, single chap, bring your birthday gift and housewarming gift along, or...no meal for you." After saying that, Jiang Baizhou mysteriously raised his head, straightened his back, and walked out of Lu Xize’s office.
Hearing this, Lu Xize was almost choked by the pearl in his mouth with anger, grabbed a cushion beside him, and threw it towards the door, but fortunately, Jiang Baizhou had long strides, allowing him to dodge just in time.
"Can you be a bit more human, you heartless man?" Lu Xize angrily crossed his arms and loudly complained.
