My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 174: Let’s get our marriage certificate tomorrow!
Jiang Baizhou lowered his eyes slightly, glancing sideways at the one leaning on his shoulder. A faint softness flickered in his gaze, his thin lips pressing into a line, gently mouthing the words: "Stop crying. I forbid it."
Cen Jin was momentarily stunned, the corners of her mouth involuntarily lifted, and the tears in her eyes gradually receded. Resting her chin on his arm, she slightly raised her small face, her eyes revealing a sweet smile in the dim light. Her grip on his arm tightened a little, and she softly explained: "It’s just a movie, don’t take it so seriously!"
"I won’t allow it either." Jiang Baizhou firmly grasped her small hand, his tone and attitude very strong and determined.
Cen Jin chuckled, a bit helpless: "Don’t you think it’s touching and heart-wrenching?"
"I don’t."
"Then what do you watch movies for?"
"It’s none of my concern," Jiang Baizhou replied indifferently. He wasn’t originally interested in such dramas, but chose to watch because he thought she liked them. However, if a movie made her cry, no matter how much she liked it, he wouldn’t allow it.
Cen Jin was speechless, musing how someone who usually only watched news and finance channels was now accompanying her to watch this kind of youthful romantic drama—quite challenging for him indeed.
However, sometimes she was puzzled as to why Jiang Baizhou, a guy in his twenties, was so keen on news and finance channels. It takes a truly old-fashioned person to do that!
Yet he genuinely managed it.
In his room was a tall bookshelf filled with books, but most were on psychology. The rest were books on finance and astronomy.
So, thinking of this, Cen Jin decided not to discuss this topic with him any further, as it was unlikely to lead to any conclusion. So she nodded: "Alright then! But the dramatic part’s over. Once they reunite, it’ll be all sweet, sweet, sweet."
Hearing this, Jiang Baizhou glanced at her but said nothing, his expression listlessly watching the movie screen, seemingly indifferent.
As the movie approached its end, the screen froze on the male and female leads sweetly kissing in the civil affairs bureau, each holding a red booklet. A spark flickered in Jiang Baizhou’s eyes, a certain thought once again crossing his mind. Without realizing it, he turned to look at Cen Jin, who was immersed in the sweet closing moments of the movie.
On her exquisite, beautiful face was a sweet and envious smile. Jiang Baizhou pondered for a moment and softly called: "Cen Jin."
"Hmm?" Immersed in the sweetness of the film, Cen Jin responded instinctively to his gentle call. But upon meeting his soft, almost water-like eyes, she paused. As far as she could recall, he often called her by her full name. Otherwise, he would just speak if something was up, rarely calling her Cen Jin.
Even if he did call her, the tone was cold and detached, seemingly distant. He had never been this gentle, not even after they confirmed their relationship and started dating.
Being called in such a tone now, Cen Jin suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity, though her heart rippled with waves, as if every breath he took could stir her emotions.
"Wh... what’s up?" She found her nerves inexplicably tense, her cheeks blushing, and she began to stammer.
Jiang Baizhou held her hand, his full fingertip gently rubbing her palm, giving her a tickling sensation. After a long silence, just as the cinema was about to clear out, he finally spoke slowly, his voice neither loud nor soft, yet clear enough for her to hear: "Shall we... get our marriage license tomorrow?"
