My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection

Chapter 290 - 281: On the Birth of Drama Queens

Hearing this, Jiang Baizhou glanced at her sideways, a slight curve appearing at the corner of his mouth, "I’ve known Lu Xize for a long time, so I’m quite familiar with these things.""Judging by what you said, it seems like being brothers with the second-generation rich Lu Xize has really been a grievance for you!" Cen Jin looked at him and actually detected a hint of complaint and disdain in his words.

Jiang Baizhou raised an eyebrow, deliberately dragging out his tone, "Hmm, it’s been so many years, I’m used to it."

"I think if Lu Xize heard that, he’d definitely chase you with a big hammer, you’re really asking for it." Cen Jin pouted, rubbing her chin, and teased.

Chatting along the way, they arrived at Sijin District’s parking lot. After getting out of the car, Jiang Baizhou tightly held her hand, took the elevator, and returned home. Cen Jin then dialed Lu Xize’s number to ask about the situation, but it was Yun Xi who answered. Hearing Yun Xi’s voice, Cen Jin finally felt at ease.

"I’m at the hospital with Lu Xize now. He’s getting checked up, and I’m waiting for him. Don’t worry, we’re fine, it’s just that Lu Xize got a little injured." Upon hearing Cen Jin’s worried and anxious voice, Yun Xi felt warm inside and smiled as she explained the situation.

"Hmm, your phone and bag are with me. If you’re not free or it’s inconvenient tomorrow, I’ll bring them to you."

"Okay, sorry about this! I asked you guys out for singing, and then such a thing happened." Yun Xi sighed softly, feeling somewhat guilty towards Cen Jin and Ye Lingran.

"There’s no need to apologize. Honestly, Ling Ran and I should be the ones apologizing. You went through all that, and we stayed inside singing, I’m really sorry! Yun Xi, I heard from Lu Xize’s friends that you... ah, anyways, I’m sorry!" Cen Jin also felt guilty, knowing Yun Xi had been bullied and hurt by Yang Yue, and they weren’t there for her — she must have been so scared at that time!

"Alright, alright, if we both keep apologizing it doesn’t mean anything, luckily there’s nothing serious. Let’s talk in detail another day! Lu Xize is coming out now, so I’ll stop talking to you!" Yun Xi replied with a smile. Just as Lu Xize walked out, she ended the call with Cen Jin and quickly approached Lu Xize to seriously ask, "How was it? What did the doctor say?"

Lu Xize shrugged and handed her a few report sheets. Yun Xi took a look, finding them full of professional terms she couldn’t understand at all and immediately chased after him, "Hey, you showed me this but I can’t make sense of it! I’m not a doctor, just tell me what the doctor said! Do you have any internal injuries or anything?"

"It’s nothing major, just need to rest for a couple of days, let’s go back home." Lu Xize seemed unconcerned, walking toward the elevator in a very relaxed manner.

Seeing his roguish and unserious demeanor, Yun Xi felt he was incredibly unreliable and grabbed his arm, causing Lu Xize to wince, "Hey, that hurts, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to kill me?"

Yun Xi immediately let go, raising her hands in the air with a very innocent look, "I didn’t mean to."

"Then you did it on purpose. How many times have you shoved me since we left Yuehuang KTV? You don’t even feel a bit guilty, you completely disregard my injuries, don’t forget, I turned out like this for whose sake, can you have a bit of conscience?"

"How do I not have conscience? I’m just worried about your injuries..." Being told off like that made Yun Xi feel suddenly upset and she blurted out a defense, only to regret it afterward.

"Worried about me?" Hearing this, Lu Xize’s face shifted from displeasure and irritation to a teasing look.

"That’s not what I meant..." For the first time in her life Yun Xi found herself at a loss for words. She’s always been sharp-tongued but soft-hearted, never losing a verbal battle, even with Lu Xize before, but now she couldn’t counter him, possibly from guilt or some other reason.

"So you don’t care about me, huh? Tsk, I took those hits for you and you really have no conscience."

"Don’t be so shameless!" Feeling guilty, Yun Xi glared at him and then lightly patted his shoulder a few times.

"Ouch, it hurts..."

"Serves you right, hope it hurts to death." Yun Xi withdrew her hand in irritation, "Wait here, I’m going to find the doctor."
