My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection

Chapter 325 - 292: Unexpected_3

"I just graduated and haven’t found a job yet! I just got back from traveling in Switzerland!""Naturally, I can’t compare to Miss An. My wife started a studio with friends after graduating and doesn’t have the financial ability to travel like Miss An. Miss An must have a wealth of experience; if she opens a studio in the future, it will surely thrive." Jiang Baizhou took a sip of water, his tone light and somewhat humble.

But no one present was a fool. It was clear he was defending his wife, outwardly praising An Yuyao while subtly putting down Cen Jin. He was implying that Cen Jin didn’t rely on her parents and successfully started a studio right off the bat, which was far better than someone who only talks big and uses their parents’ money to travel. What right does she have to feel proud?

At least everything Cen Jin wears and uses now hasn’t utilized a penny from Ms. Qin. And what about An Yuyao?

No matter how many designer clothes she wore, they weren’t earned through her own career, and they couldn’t hide her somewhat dirty competitive spirit.

"You..." An Yuyao, fuming, immediately wanted to retort. When had she ever been so wronged?

"That’s enough, say less. We’re just having a meal, what’s the point of causing a scene? If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have brought you here." Zhu Qinghan took a deep breath, grabbed her arm, and sharply reprimanded her. After speaking, she looked apologetically at Jiang Baizhou and Cen Jin: "I’m sorry! Baizhou, Cen Jin, Yaoyao has been spoiled by the family. If she offended you in any way, I apologize on her behalf. Please don’t take it to heart!"

"Cousin..."

"If you don’t listen, you can go back now. You stayed in France for so long and still have no manners. If Uncle finds out about this, you’ll get an earful." Zhu Qinghan scolded An Yuyao with a straight face, even as she turned a plaintive look on her.

"Humph, I’ll leave then. I don’t care to eat this meal." An Yuyao snorted coldly, grabbed her purse, and left the room.

"Qinghan..." Zhu Chen observed, then looked at Zhu Qinghan.

"It’s okay, just ignore her. This girl is really becoming more and more unruly." There was clear anger on Zhu Qinghan’s face, but it faded as she looked at Cen Jin again: "I’m sorry! Cen Jin, I didn’t expect Yaoyao to behave like this. My apologies!"

"No worries, she’s still young!" Cen Jin smiled lightly, casually brushing it off.

At that moment, the waiter brought in the dishes, and Jiang Baizhou turned to Zhu Chen and asked, "What have you been busy with lately, Senior?"

"Acting as a crime psychology consultant for the J Bureau."

"For that high-profile serial murder case before the New Year?" Jiang Baizhou recalled and spoke slowly.

Zhu Chen nodded: "Yes, during the New Year, the killer didn’t make any moves, and still hasn’t. It’s as if he vanished; there’s no trace of him at all. The J bureau didn’t have a good New Year, fearing he might strike again."

"No clues at all?"

"None. Not even a pattern to his killings. Time, place, choice of victims—the previous victims included men, women, the elderly, the young. It’s like..."

"Indiscriminate killing?"

Zhu Chen nodded: "Yes, too few clues, and the profile provides very little information. It’s at a standstill now."

Because it relates to the case, Zhu Chen couldn’t say much. He only spoke about this because Jiang Baizhou minored in crime psychology in college and did quite well in a mock exam. But he also knew he had to stop here.

"By the way, actually... the reason I invited you for dinner today is because I have a favor to ask of Cen Jin." Midway through the meal, Zhu Qinghan suddenly smiled and spoke up.

Cen Jin raised her eyes to look at her, full of curiosity and confusion: "A favor from me? Senior, tell me. If I can help, I will."

"It’s like this." Zhu Qinghan gave a bashful smile, exchanged a look with Zhu Chen, then slowly raised her right hand to reveal a dazzling and beautiful diamond ring on her ring finger: "I’d like to ask you to design a wedding dress for me, a unique one."

Cen Jin was stunned, a bit dazed, feeling that everything was happening too unexpectedly: "Senior, you... and Senior have registered?"
