My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection

Chapter 265 - 261: Isn’t my wife beautiful?

On the other side, after Cen Jin left the restaurant alone by taking the elevator, she hailed a taxi by the roadside, planning to go back by herself. But just as she was about to sit in after opening the car door, Jiang Baizhou, who had caught up from behind, grabbed her arm. His other large hand pressed against the taxi door, and he slightly bent down to apologize to the driver in front: "Sorry, my wife and I had a minor argument, she won’t be taking the ride, apologies." After saying that, he closed the car door and led her away from the roadside towards his parking spot."Let go of me." As he led her to the parking area, Cen Jin started struggling, but Jiang Baizhou had no intention of letting her go, instead, he held on even tighter.

"Jiang Baizhou, did you hear me?"

"I heard you."

"You heard but still won’t let go."

"No, I won’t." Jiang Baizhou replied with great confidence, his eyes full of determination: "I can’t possibly let go for the rest of my life."

Cen Jin was speechless, looking at him without words. It wasn’t until he pulled her into the parking lot beside his car that she struggled forcefully again, and Jiang Baizhou took the opportunity to pull her into his embrace: "It’s really not like what you saw today."

"Then tell me, what’s the deal?"

"Today, it was Xi Ze’s dad who arranged a blind date for him, he didn’t want to go but couldn’t refuse, so he pulled me along for support. I originally didn’t want to agree, but last time when I went to Milan to find you, he helped me a lot, so I still owe him this favor. There wasn’t much to lose anyway, but when I got there, I found out he booked me a seat right next to them, and then two people came over, we just exchanged a brief greeting. I had already told them I have a girlfriend, and no matter what they said, I didn’t respond. Really, I swear on it." Jiang Baizhou patiently explained, which might be the longest speech of his life, usually preferring to be concise, he feared she might get angry and ignore him.

Cen Jin glanced sidelong at him, her expression still displeased. In fact, she wasn’t truly angry about him sitting with those two girls at the same table because she was quite satisfied with their relationship. What made her angry was that he didn’t tell her beforehand and wanted to keep it a secret from her.

"Then why didn’t you tell me in advance?" Cen Jin shouted with dissatisfaction.

"It’s not such a big deal, I thought it was just helping Xi Ze and didn’t feel the need to tell you, so..."

"What do you mean by ’not necessary to tell me’, then tell me, in your eyes what counts as a big deal?" Hearing him say that, Cen Jin’s anger surged all at once.

Who explains like he does!

The more he explains, the worse it gets, not a word she wants to hear.

"That’s not what I meant..." Jiang Baizhou clicked his tongue, a bit helpless. He always hears that women in love have zero intelligence, but women in a quarrel have instant 180 intelligence, now he believes it. And she always manages to find flaws in your words, and then give you a fierce counterattack.

"Then what do you mean?"

"I promise you, there won’t be a next time, if this kind of thing happens again, I definitely won’t agree. Alright? Don’t be angry anymore." Jiang Baizhou looked at her angry little face and ultimately chose to soften and compromise. If he continued to argue with her like this, things might get worse, so he could only coax her by following her lead.

"This isn’t over yet! You’re already thinking about next time? How optimistic of you! Do you think it’s a pity that I interrupted you and the two beauties eating today?" Cen Jin rolled her eyes at him and snorted lightly.

Jiang Baizhou laughed, hearing her say this he knew that most of her anger had dissipated. He then lowered his head and kissed her lips: "No way, how could I dare! Having you, such a beauty, by my side is enough, even ten more beauties can’t compare to you."

"Sweet talk."

"Nonsense, I’m obviously speaking the truth."

"Smooth talker."

"Isn’t my wife beautiful?"

"Don’t pull that on me."

"I was wrong, wife, I will never make such basic mistakes again."

Rarely hearing Jiang Baizhou admit his mistake with such soft words, Cen Jin’s anger indeed subsided, and her expression softened a bit, she said with dissatisfaction: "I’m not full."

"What do you want to eat?"

"Let’s buy some groceries, you go home and cook for me!" Cen Jin thought for a moment, then raised her eyebrows with great interest, looking at him.

Jiang Baizhou was momentarily stunned, his expression awkward: "I... I cook?"

"Yes! Why? Can’t do it? Didn’t you buy several cookbooks before? Talking all nice, saying you’d cook for me, but since we’ve been married, besides breakfast I’ve hardly gotten anything else from you! Don’t you think you should show off a bit?" Cen Jin nodded, with an undertone of intent in her mischievous eyes that also held a hint of teasing.

Clearly, she just wants to make fun of him.

Jiang Baizhou understood the implication in her words and could only smile wryly. Actually, those cookbooks he bought, he’s only flipped through a few pages. The few breakfast items were learned from them; others, because of work issues, didn’t have much time to try. Sometimes during breaks, they would just go out to eat together, and rarely cooked himself.

"Then let’s go! Head to the nearby supermarket." Jiang Baizhou didn’t mind cooking for her, it’s just he had little confidence in his cooking skills.

One could say there weren’t many things that made him lack confidence in life, only two: before he was with Cen Jin, he wasn’t very confident in his feelings for her, and moreover, his cooking skills.

"Alright." Cen Jin actually didn’t intend to make him learn anything for her, she just wanted to tease him after today’s incident.

After they drove to the nearby supermarket and picked up the groceries, they returned to the Sijin District apartment. She took off her coat and helped Jiang Baizhou with the vegetables in the kitchen. They didn’t buy much, just enough for tonight’s meal. Though both had eaten at the restaurant, they hadn’t had much, especially since Cen Jin went to find him halfway through her meal.

When Jiang Baizhou was about to start cooking, Cen Jin just stood there watching, which made him hesitant to start, finally having to say: "Why don’t you go sit on the couch and watch TV! I’ll handle it here."

Cen Jin raised an eyebrow, smiled: "Alright, if you need any help, just call me."

"Mhm."

After returning to the living room, Cen Jin just sat watching TV and during the more than twenty minutes waiting, she heard a lot of popping sounds from the kitchen, but she remained calm, feeling this was expected.

When she saw him come out from the kitchen, Cen Jin smiled sweetly, asking: "Is it done?"
