My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 168: Try to hide it better next time

"Alright, let’s go pay." Jiang Baizhou’s lips curled up slightly as he led her to the cashier. While they were waiting in line, he caught a glimpse of her with her head down, looking bored, and asked, "Have you decided what you want to eat?"

"Hmm..." Cen Jin lifted her head and thought seriously for a moment. "I want to eat pickled fish. There was a place across the intersection when we came over. Do you want to go?"

"Sure."

When it was their turn, the cashier removed the magnetic tags from their items, scanned the prices, and smiled at them, "Hello, the total is 673 yuan and 60 cents. Will you be paying in cash or scanning a code?"

"Scanning." Jiang Baizhou took out his phone and opened the QR code. Just as he was about to proceed, Cen Jin stopped him, her eyes showing a hint of confusion as she looked at his handsome face, "What’s wrong?"

"Maybe I should pay this time!" Cen Jin suddenly remembered he had just bought a house, so she thought it might be better for her to handle the smaller expenses. As she spoke, she started reaching into her bag to retrieve her phone and open her payment code.

"No need." Jiang Baizhou noticed her concern and couldn’t help but chuckle. He leaned closer to her ear, "Why? Already thinking of taking care of me?"

Hearing that, Cen Jin’s ears turned red instantly. Her hand holding the phone trembled a bit as she glared at him in mock annoyance and gave him a playful pinch on the arm, "Hurry up and pay."

Jiang Baizhou’s smile grew broader as he held his phone forward again.

Perhaps his charming smile was too captivating, even the cashier lady was momentarily infatuated. It wasn’t until the people queued behind them urged her that she snapped back to reality, quickly nodded in apology, looked down in embarrassment, processed the payment, and helped them bag their items.

After leaving Home Furnishing City, they went to the parking lot. Jiang Baizhou placed the items in the trunk and got into the passenger seat. He fastened his seatbelt and then noticed Cen Jin holding two stuffed toys, her beautiful face scrunched up in dissatisfaction. He started the car and asked, "What’s wrong? You don’t like them?"

"Not really." Cen Jin smacked her lips and sighed, "It’s just that this shark... well... it might take a bit of time to get used to it. But I’m curious, why did you buy it? Didn’t you think it was ugly yourself?"

"Did I?"

"Didn’t you?" Cen Jin widened her eyes, shrugged, and spread her hands, "The disdain on your face was pretty obvious, you know?"

"Hmm, I’ll try to hide it better next time."

"..."

Cen Jin looked at him speechlessly, "I think the problem isn’t about hiding your feelings."

"If you don’t like it, leave it with me until you warm up to it." Jiang Baizhou replied casually, looking straight ahead.

"Alright, I agree." Cen Jin readily agreed, and her previously scrunched-up face broke into a smile.

She really couldn’t appreciate this shark. She had touched it earlier because it felt nice, but she was kind of timid. If it were in her room and she saw its fierce appearance in the dark when getting up at night to go to the bathroom, Cen Jin feared it would scare her out of this beautiful world.

The shark couldn’t just be described as ugly. If one were to put it bluntly, hanging it on doors or windows might ward off evil spirits, maybe even help ghosts reincarnate, no problem at all. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Seeing how readily she agreed, Jiang Baizhou deliberately glanced at her from the corner of his eye, and when he shifted his gaze back, that toy shark caught his attention too.
