My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 159: Then I’ll comfort you
The next day at noon, since Jiang Yuyang had returned, Cen Jin was invited over for lunch. Since it was the weekend, the traffic at Ms. Qin’s store was heavier than usual, so she wasn’t at home. Cen Jin didn’t decline and went over directly.
Before the meal, Jiang Yuyang and Cen Jin talked a lot about various things, and finally, Miss Yu Hui, who was cooking in the kitchen, couldn’t stand it anymore. She came out and said, "Jiang Yuyang, come help me. It’s almost twelve, and I still have two or three dishes I haven’t started. Bai Zhou, you go chat with Cen Jin."
Only then did Jiang Yuyang respond cautiously and went to the kitchen. As soon as he stepped in, Miss Yu Hui glared at him fiercely while holding a kitchen knife and deliberately lowered her voice, "Why don’t I usually see you talking so much? Why say so much? Cen Jin isn’t a three-year-old; doesn’t she know? Besides, isn’t your son still there? Stop interrupting their little couple’s time. Remove the shrimp veins for me, and peel the garlic. I think you’ve had too much tea, and it’s all gone to your head."
Jiang Yuyang listened silently to Miss Yu Hui’s complaints, with a gentle smile in his eyes, not refuting but going about doing as she instructed.
"Didn’t sleep well?" Seeing Jiang Yuyang go to the kitchen, Jiang Baizhou got up from the single sofa and sat beside Cen Jin, gently holding her hand and giving it a slight squeeze, his deep gaze fixated on the dark circles under her eyes.
"I went home yesterday, took a shower, and slept. Then... I slept too early. I woke up around two, then didn’t sleep again until after five in the morning," Cen Jin pouted, with an awkward smile. Suddenly her expression turned tense, "Are the dark circles under my eyes that obvious? I made sure to use a cushion to cover them before coming out. I’ll need to use concealer when I get back home later."
"It’s okay. Just get a good night’s sleep tonight," noticing her concern, Jiang Baizhou lightly pressed his lips and after thinking for a short moment added, "Well, I won’t mind."
Cen Jin was taken aback, suppressing the joy in her heart: "I’m not worried you would mind. It’s just that having dark circles affects my appearance; it doesn’t look good."
"Not good looking?" Jiang Baizhou squinted and scrutinized her seriously, then solemnly said, "Looks the same as usual."
In fact, he didn’t care whether she wore makeup, had pimples, or dark circles. To him, whether she was without makeup or made up, she was always her — the one he’d cherished for decades.
"Alright, stop talking. If you keep going, I’ll really get embarrassed." Cen Jin was thin-skinned and couldn’t handle too much praise from others, especially from Jiang Baizhou. Just with his words, Cen Jin felt deeply moved.
"Hmm? Hard to believe. Being shy is a good sign."
"Jiang Baizhou." Upon hearing this, Cen Jin’s face fell slightly, angrily glaring at him, and forcefully withdrew her hand from his large palm: "I’ve noticed you’ve been teasing a lot lately, what’s that about?"
"Haven’t you heard the saying?" Jiang Baizhou raised an eyebrow and nonchalantly took her hand again.
"Which saying?"
"Hitting is showing affection, scolding is showing love."
"Come on." Cen Jin once again angrily withdrew her hand, huffing with dissatisfaction, "You’ve gone beyond that limit. I’m really mad."
"Okay, then let me make it up to you."
