My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection

Chapter 349 - 301: No Need for You to Compromise_3

"Oh, really?""When did your memory get so bad? How long ago was it, and you’ve already forgotten?"

"Didn’t you say you wanted ice cream? There’s a place selling drinks and ice cream at the corner, let’s go!" Jiang Baizhou raised his eyebrows, deciding not to continue discussing this topic with her. The car was already half overturned; if it fully overturned later, he estimated he’d be stuck under it and unable to get out.

Cen Jin was pulled along by him, unable to resist giving him a disdainful look at his back. His ability to change his face and switch topics quickly was a prime example of straight-men behavior.

Though her heart found Jiang Baizhou’s tactics to be disdainful, it didn’t stop her from delightfully enjoying her ice cream. After finishing one, she wanted a second, but Jiang Baizhou ruthlessly refused and dragged her away from the scene of the crime.

When six o’clock came around, they got in the car. Jiang Baizhou looked at the shopping bags filling up the back seat, and couldn’t help but sigh. Shopping with a girl really requires courage and stamina.

As he turned his gaze back, he noticed Cen Jin was holding her phone and chatting with someone unknown, so he casually asked, "Where to now? It’s already past six."

"Shangxia Ke then! It’ll take about half an hour from here. I just sent a WeChat to Feici and asked her to come along," Cen Jin said, putting her phone away after sending her last message, then looking up at him. Fınd the newest release on novel_fіre.net

Jiang Baizhou squinted slightly, staying silent for a moment. It seemed he understood her intention: "You want Yu Feici to help clear up this situation?"

Cen Jin nodded with a smile, "She’s a media person; she’s perfect for this. However, when Liu Zhiyan arrives later, don’t tell her Feici’s identity at first, or she might hide something. Since An Yuyao is pushing herself onto a dead end, I’m not planning to go easy or be polite. But... if we do this, An Yuyao is the daughter of Nan University’s principal. Won’t her dad make things difficult for you?"

"No need to worry about that. I’m not teaching there because of his favor. If it really comes to the point of falling out, I can resign without a problem, since the consultancy is my main profession." Seeing her worried expression softened Jiang Baizhou’s look again. He reached out to pat her head, his face filled with a doting smile.

"But don’t forget, we’re currently in debt!" Cen Jin looked at him pitifully, nearly welling up with tears.

"Even so, I don’t need my wife to compromise. Plus... the income from my consultancy is higher than the school salary right? I can still afford to take care of you. As for Xi Ze’s money, didn’t we already repay part of it during the New Year? We can take our time!" Jiang Baizhou spoke confidently, his tone noticeably higher than usual.

Cen Jin laughed, albeit not sweet talk, but it made her feel exceptionally happy and secure.

Even though Lu Xize, being a wealthy heir, didn’t really care about that money, the debt was still there and had to be properly repaid. They had repaid him twice before. Lu Xize even said they were being too formal, which relieved some of Cen Jin’s pressure.

"Alright, then I won’t be polite!"

"Sure, I have a class at school tomorrow, so I can discuss this matter with Principal An and see if he has any thoughts or ideas." Jiang Baizhou squinted his long eyes with interest; it seemed his wife was no longer the timid and fearful girl from childhood, now there was some fun in it.

"Okay, great, let’s go! To Shangxia Ke."

Jiang Baizhou started the car heading to Central Street’s Shangxia Ke, a restaurant super popular on Central Street, usually packed during meal times. Last time Cen Jin went with Ling Ran, Ling Quan, and others, they had to wait in line to get in, so this afternoon after making plans with Liu Zhiyan, Cen Jin cleverly reserved a spot on her phone for 6:45 to 7:00.

So, when they arrived at Shangxia Ke, it was exactly 6:45, and there was already a long line outside. Cen Jin was quite delighted by this, led inside by a server, and took a seat without rushing to order food, opting to get drinks first and wait until Yu Feici and Liu Zhiyan arrived to order dishes.
