My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection

Chapter 263 - 259: Misunderstanding

Cen Jin and Ye Lingran were startled by her aggressive demeanor, looking at her in disbelief. Did she eat a bomb during her trip to the restroom?Why is she so angry?

"Him? He has appointments with patients today, and there’s a meeting at the school too!" Although Cen Jin didn’t understand where her anger was coming from, she still told the truth. This morning, Jiang Baizhou had even mentioned it to her when he left the house.

"That’s it?"

"That’s it!" Cen Jin shook her head with a puzzled expression, completely clueless what she meant: "What’s up? Yun Xi?"

"Then guess who I saw when I came back from the restroom?"

"Who?" Cen Jin still looked completely bewildered.

"Your husband and Lu Xize."

Upon hearing this, Cen Jin’s eyes widened in surprise: "At this restaurant?"

"Yes."

Cen Jin calmed down from her initial surprise and nodded, still not understanding her point: "So? He and Lu Xize often eat together, it’s normal. At which table are they? We should go over and say hello later."

"Hmph, we should really go say hello. It’s quite normal for him to dine with Lu Xize, but having two dolled-up babes on the other side isn’t very normal. At first glance, it looks like a double date." Yun Xi scoffed, crossing her arms and venting her resentment.

Cen Jin was taken aback by her words, her body slightly stiffening. The originally lively eyes suddenly froze: "A... double date?"

Ye Lingran was also very surprised on hearing this. Seeing Cen Jin’s reaction, she quickly asked, "Yun Xi, are you sure you didn’t see it wrong? Was it really Jiang Baizhou?"

"Of course, I’m not blind. I saw it very clearly! If you don’t believe me, go check it out yourselves. They’re over in Zone C. You can’t miss them. The four of them stand out as a beautiful sight in the restaurant. If I didn’t take a second look, I wouldn’t have seen such a bizarre scene!" Yun Xi confidently replied, her tone full of disdain and ridicule.

"Cen Jin..." Ye Lingran looked at Cen Jin with concern, smiling to comfort her, "Cen Jin, don’t overthink it. There might be a misunderstanding! We’ve all seen how Jiang Baizhou feels about you, and besides, he’s always been a strict person. He wouldn’t do something like this!"

"That’s true. I’m just a bit mad looking at the scene. I don’t even know what’s really going on. Maybe... maybe the two women opposite them are their patients." Yun Xi noticed the obvious change in Cen Jin’s expression and quickly followed up on Ye Lingran’s comforting words.

Cen Jin pursed her lips, her face expressionless. After a moment’s thought, she looked at them and, without saying anything, put on a stern face, got up, and walked past Yun Xi directly toward Zone C.

Seeing this, Yun Xi exchanged a glance with Ye Lingran and quickly followed her.

When they arrived at Zone C, Cen Jin immediately spotted Jiang Baizhou and Lu Xize, just as Yun Xi had mentioned. She also noticed the two stylish young women sitting opposite them. Anger started rising in her heart as she walked over. When she reached the table, she looked at the four of them, her lips curling slightly as she greeted them with a smile, "What a coincidence! You two are dining here too?"

Ye Lingran and Yun Xi also came over, raising their hands in greeting: "Wow! The dishes look quite nice! Are you enjoying your meal?"

Lu Xize and Jiang Baizhou were both dumbfounded when they saw the three of them, especially Jiang Baizhou. Upon seeing Cen Jin’s obviously angry fake smile, a flash of obvious surprise and panic crossed his usually indifferent expression.

"Who are you...?" Song Yu Yan looked up at the three of them, scrutinized them briefly, and asked displeased.

"I also wanted to ask who you two are!" Yun Xi grinned, retorting.

"What’s it to you?"

"And what does it matter to you who we are?" Seeing Song Yu Yan’s unfriendly tone, Yun Xi naturally didn’t hold back, directly retorting and turning her gaze to Jiang Baizhou and Lu Xize: "Don’t you two want to explain something?"

"No, really, who are you two?" Song Yu Yan, now more annoyed from Yun Xi’s remark, naturally showed her spoiled demeanor.

Yun Xi, who also had a spoiled temperament, certainly didn’t hold Song Yu Yan in high regard, rolling her eyes: "Didn’t you understand? Is this where you think you should be talking? Do you think anyone here wants to mingle with you? You really think you’re all that, don’t you?"

"Um... Cen Jin... let me explain, today is actually a misunderstanding, it’s not what it looks like." Lu Xize, sensing the escalating situation, had no time to worry about the feelings of the Song sisters and promptly rose to help Jiang Baizhou explain.

"You are in good spirits! Is the food good?" Cen Jin smiled faintly, asking coldly.

Jiang Baizhou stood up, went around the table to Cen Jin’s side, and wrapped an arm around her waist: "It’s not what you think..."

Cen Jin took a deep breath, gazing at him coldly: "Then why don’t you explain what’s going on?"

"I..."

"Can’t say it, can you? Hah." Cen Jin sneered, pushing him away and turning to leave in discontent.

"Wife..." Jiang Baizhou immediately grabbed his coat, cast a hard glare at Lu Xize, and chased after her.

"That woman... is his wife?" Song Yu Yan’s eyes widened in surprise, pouting disdainfully, "I thought she’d be some extraordinary beauty. Turns out she’s just average, and so petty too. It’s just a meal together, and coincidentally at that, huh."

"Lingran, do you smell a particularly strong stench?" Yun Xi dramatically fanned her hand near her nose and exaggeratedly said, "This is a high-end restaurant. How can they let this kind of fly in here? What a mood killer! Regardless, Cen Jin, even barefaced, is a hundred times more beautiful than you, a fly dressed up. No self-awareness at all and still dares to speak? Didn’t even brush your teeth in the morning, so smelly. But, well, flies are shameless and wouldn’t brush their teeth!"

"You..." Song Yu Yan was rendered speechless by her rebuff, angrily standing and staring at her.

Yun Xi, undaunted, stared back and said, "So what? What do you want to do?"

Lu Xize, watching the situation spiraling out of control, was about to intervene when Song Yuling stood up slowly and said, "Mr. Lu, it seems there’s no point in continuing this meal today. My sister has a delicate temperament; I hope you understand. Let’s be in touch at another time!" With that, she glanced at Yun Xi and Ye Lingran and then pulled her sister Song Yu Yan away.
