The two of them chatted enthusiastically, as if Jiang Baizhou didn’t exist in the living room at all. Jiang Baizhou also remained silent, sitting there quietly with his legs crossed, his eyes fixed on the news channel on the TV screen, though occasionally his peripheral vision swept over Cen Jin, who was chatting with Jiang Yuyang and was full of smiles and enthusiasm.
anwhile, in the kitchen, Qin Xuesu and Miss Yu Hui were chatting about daily life while cooking in an orderly manner.
As it neared half-past twelve, Miss Yu Hui ca out of the kitchen with a spatula and called out, "Jiang Yuyang, quickly go and buy so sugar, I urgently need it, we’ve run out at ho."
Hearing this, Mr. Jiang looked up and nodded in agreent. After Miss Yu Hui returned to the kitchen, Mr. Jiang gave it so thought, then turned to look at Jiang Baizhou, who was watching TV, and made as if to speak, "Bai Zhou...."
"I’m not going. Mom called you, not ." But Jiang Baizhou, while watching the TV, seed to have already seen through his thoughts, moving his lips indifferently and in a very relaxed manner.
Mr. Jiang’s words stopped abruptly, and he looked at him speechlessly.
"Then... I’ll go!" Seeing that the father and son were at an impasse, Cen Jin reluctantly volunteered.
As soon as she spoke, Jiang Baizhou turned his gaze to her, and as his eyes t hers, the smile on Cen Jin’s face froze. She could face him just fine before, but now, with just one look, she felt extrely awkward.
It was that damn kiss.
"No need, I’ll go!" Mr. Jiang withdrew his gaze, gave Cen Jin a courteous smile, slowly got up, glanced at his son, and then directly headed toward the door.
As soon as Mr. Jiang left, the living room only had Cen Jin and Jiang Baizhou in it. Apart from the cooking sounds from the kitchen and the TV noise, everything seed particularly quiet.
"Have you been busy these days?" After a long pause, just as Cen Jin was feeling a bit restless, Jiang Baizhou suddenly spoke, his tone very calm.
Hearing that, Cen Jin couldn’t help but look over at him and once again t his deep and unreadable eyes, trying her best to appear not so flustered, she smiled and nodded, "Yeah, a bit busy. I’ve been revising drafts and negotiating with the manufacturers these few days. Uh, how about you? Have you been busy?"
"Not busy, do you want to treat to a al?"
"???"
Cen Jin actually asked symbolically and never expected him to respond like this, making her at a loss for how to reply.
"I’m free today and tomorrow."
"..."
The corner of Cen Jin’s mouth twitched slightly. Did she just say she would treat him to a al? When did this person’s skin beco so thick?
"Are you not free?"
"No, I...."
"Then let’s make it tonight! A new restaurant just opened across the street from the residential area, there’s a discount, it looks pretty good."
"..."
"How did you manage to beco so shaless after not seeing for a few days?" Cen Jin looked at him and asked sincerely and genuinely.
After hearing this, Jiang Baizhou didn’t get angry at all. He just raised an eyebrow, put down his crossed legs, and nonchalantly looked towards the TV: "Thanks for the advice, I’ll reflect on it."
"Do you think I’m complinting you?"
"No, I don’t." Jiang Baizhou replied seriously, adding, "That’s why I said I’d reflect on it."
Cen Jin was speechless, realizing that sotis after talking with him for a long ti, she felt an urge to commit suicide. So she simply threw away the pillow in her embrace and got up angrily: "I’ll go to the kitchen to see if they need my help with anything."
