My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 165: From the very beginning, he was not aiming for a romantic relationship.
After coming out of Sijin District, Cen Jin was in a great mood. She slightly tilted her head back and took a deep breath, barely able to contain the smile in her eyes.
"Seems like you’re in a good mood?" Jiang Baizhou asked lightly, noticing the rising corners of her mouth.
Cen Jin didn’t hide it and nodded with a smile, "That’s right, although I’m a bit upset about you borrowing money to buy the house, thinking you’re doing it for me makes that bit of anger vanish instantly. Haha, I’ll help you repay Lu Xize’s loan. Did he mention a repayment deadline?"
"He did."
"How long? Six months or a year?" Mentioning this made Cen Jin suddenly anxious, and calculations began racing in her mind. The house renovation would cost money, and given their respective annual incomes, a year should be no problem, but only under a very frugal lifestyle.
"In this lifetime."
"..."
While Cen Jin’s mental calculations were clattering away, Jiang Baizhou calmly threw out those four words, causing all her mental abacus beads to scatter to the ground. Her nervousness dissipated as she stared at him in disbelief.
"Wha... what do you mean?" Cen Jin looked at him, her eyes filled with confusion.
Jiang Baizhou chuckled lightly, "No need to be so tense. I’ll handle the repayment. You just need to take care of me."
"..."
Hearing this, Cen Jin’s mouth twitched slightly. How could he say such shameless words so calmly?
In TV dramas, men usually say romantic things like ’I’ll take care of you,’ but with him, it turned into her having to take care of him! And he said it so confidently.
Is it because she’s been going about dating in the wrong way?
"Do you really have the nerve?" Cen Jin gave him a sidelong glance and asked with a pout.
"Yes, I do."
"Tsk! Shameless." Cen Jin glared at him angrily, pulling him towards the car. "Stop joking around. Since it’s still early, let’s go to Home Furnishing City to browse! I want a rocking chair or a hanging chair to put on the balcony. Especially in winter, sitting there to bask in the sun and have afternoon tea sounds wonderful just thinking about it."
Jiang Baizhou raised an eyebrow slightly, seeing that she was already envisioning the future, which only cemented the thought that buying this house was worth it.
When they first came to see the house, she mentioned that placing a rocking chair or hanging chair on the balcony was a long-cherished dream. If not for her current room’s balcony being unsuitable, she would’ve done it long ago.
She has always yearned for a slow-paced life, enjoying swings from childhood, which Jiang Baizhou knows well. So he is working hard to fulfill her every wish.
"Isn’t it too early? We haven’t even decided on the renovation plan, yet we’re looking at furniture." Seeing him not speaking for a while, Cen Jin pursed her pink lips, wondering if she was being too hasty.
"It’s not early." Jiang Baizhou gently closed his eyes and guided her into the car, taking out his phone to set directions to Silk Velvet City: "Should we go to Silk Workshop City? It’s the closest."
"Okay." Cen Jin smiled sweetly and fastened her seatbelt.
With a glance at her radiant smile, the corners of Jiang Baizhou’s mouth also lifted into a slight curve. She was his cherished love, long planned from the heart. No matter the time or matter, it was never too early for him. He even had the impulse to head to the civil registry office but feared frightening her, so he kept it to himself.
From the beginning, he wasn’t planning on just dating; he was planning on marriage, spending a lifetime together.
