Jiang Baizhou couldn’t help but chuckle lightly, nodding in agreent, "Hmm, my wife is right, there’s only one Nie Cenjin."
"Right! Hehe."
"Of course." Jiang Baizhou pondered for a mont, then wrapped his arm around her shoulder, pulling her into his embrace, tilting his head close to her, "Wife, I’ve got sothing to discuss with you!"
"Hmm? What is it?"
"Tonight... should we figure out whether we want a son or a daughter?"
Cen Jin was taken aback, her face flushed red in an instant, and she jerked her hand back in mock annoyance, glaring at him, "Go figure that out yourself." Saying that, she quickly walked into the courtyard of the neighboring villa.
Jiang Baizhou stood in place, watching her trotting away, raising his hand to stroke his chin. Although this wasn’t urgent now, he still needed to think it through carefully.
When the two of them arrived at the next-door villa, Ms. Qin was just having dinner. Seeing that they had co over, she quickly waved them in to sit down and asked to get them a pair of bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen. Cen Jin looked at the dishes on the table and was a bit tempted, so she didn’t refuse. They had been eating takeout at ho when they received a call from Ms. Qin.
"How are Hui Zi and Old Jiang doing?" Ms. Qin asked while eating.
"They’ve reconciled, so we didn’t want to disturb them, and we ca over." Cen Jin picked a piece of at to eat, glancing around, "Hey, where’s Cousin? It’s only you here, Mom."
"He had to work overti today, so he’s not coming back."
"It’s the 27th already, it’s tough being an employee at Cousin’s company, not even a holiday yet." Cen Jin pursed her lips, rcilessly complaining. After a pause, she looked at the food on the table and thought to ask, "Why did you cook so much just for yourself? Three dishes and a soup, can you finish it all on your own?"
"Can’t having a al shut your mouth?" Ms. Qin raised her chopsticks as if to smack her and glared at her in annoyance.
Cen Jin bit her lip and silently lowered her head, continuing to eat her al.
Indeed, the treatnt at the in-laws and at her own ho was worlds apart. She suddenly found herself loving the ti spent at the in-laws.
"Xiang Chen wasn’t supposed to go to the office today, but in the morning he got a call from his secretary saying there was so situation. He originally planned to co back for dinner, but when I finished cooking and called, he said he’d be back later and told to eat first. But that’s okay, here, Baizhou, eat more. If you’re free these coming days, co by often. Tell what you want to eat, and Mom will make it for you."
Cen Jin watched Ms. Qin serving food to Jiang Baizhou, her mouth twitching slightly. She poked fiercely at her bowl with her chopsticks. If Jiang Baizhou weren’t two months older than her, she’d seriously suspect that her family, Ms. Qin and Miss Yu Hui, might’ve swapped babies at the hospital back then. The difference was like being other people’s kids was better.
After dining with Ms. Qin, Cen Jin did the dishes in the kitchen while Ms. Qin specially washed fruit for Jiang Baizhou, letting him relax in the living room with it. Finally, Ms. Qin ca back to the kitchen to help Cen Jin tidy up.
Faced with such differential treatnt, Cen Jin could only roll her eyes and kept her comnts to herself.
"Mom, did you call Auntie? When does their plane land on the 30th?"
"I was actually on a video call with your aunt this afternoon. They said they’ll arrive at two in the afternoon, so you and Baizhou should go pick them up!"
"Okay, got it." Cen Jin handed the washed dishes to Ms. Qin to rinse, "Oh, I’ve been aning to ask, where did Cousin get that car? Did he buy a new one?"
"He just bought it a few days ago, the license plate hasn’t even co in yet!"
"Is Cousin really that rich, feeling the burn? Why doesn’t he give so!"
Ms. Qin shot her a look, "What nonsense. His local branch here is just starting out, and he’s spending most of his ti here. He needs a mode of transport; he can’t keep renting cars, can he?"
"Fine, I’ll pretend I didn’t say anything." Cen Jin pouted at her, handing over the last dish she’d washed, "Alright, all done. It’s getting late, I’m heading back with Jiang Baizhou."
"Leaving already? Not staying a bit longer?"
"No, I’m not staying. I have plans with Feici and Shi Shu tomorrow."
