My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 76 - 0: Familiar Sweet Sound

By the end of the meal, there were already two empty bottles of red wine on the table. It could be said that Jiang Baizhou was really putting in effort for this property. The reason was simple: the property met the criteria Cen Jin mentioned before—it was close to home, just a twenty-minute drive away. Plus, the layout was quite nice. But the most important thing was that he was drawn to the name of the complex, ’Si Jin’.

Si Jin, Si Jin, Bai Zhou was not only thinking about Si Jin.

Jiang Baizhou generally didn’t like drinking and wasn’t particularly good at it; he could be said to be average. The first bottle of wine was ordered by him, and it was a fine red wine, though not very strong. The second bottle, however, was ordered by Ke Yuanfan, who had a hobby of collecting various famous wines, so he ordered a bottle from Chateau Pavie. This one was relatively stronger than the first. So, after finishing it, Jiang Baizhou was almost drunk.

"Looks like Doctor Jiang’s drinking skills are not up to mark! You need more practice," Ke Yuanfan said with a smile, patting him on the shoulder.

Jiang Baizhou propped his head up with one hand, his face unchanged, appearing calm and collected. However, his usually cool eyes showed rare signs of drowsiness, making it obvious that he was drunk.

"I’m going to the bathroom." After a while, Jiang Baizhou finally looked up at the two of them, nodded slightly, and got up to head to the bathroom. His steps were relatively steady, though from behind his body seemed a bit unsteady, but not overly so.

"Are you two planning to keep drinking?" Lu Xize looked at Ke Yuanfan, who seemed still eager, and asked scornfully.

Ke Yuanfan glanced at the luxury watch on his wrist and raised an eyebrow. "Seeing Doctor Jiang’s condition, it seems he can’t drink anymore. I have a meeting at nine-thirty tomorrow morning."

"Then let’s disperse when Bai Zhou comes back! I have several patients to see tomorrow! I can’t waste time with you here. Did you drive yourself?"

"Yeah, looks like I’ll need to find a designated driver."

"Then it looks like I’ll have to take a taxi back, sigh!"

On the other side, after Jiang Baizhou went to the bathroom, he washed his face, which made him a bit more sober, but his head was still somewhat dizzy, and his steps were gradually getting lighter. After coming out of the bathroom, Jiang Baizhou looked straight ahead, his dim eyes laced with a hint of haze.

At the corner, he accidentally bumped into a graceful silhouette. Jiang Baizhou instinctively took two steps back, his hands naturally retracting, and said coolly, "Sorry."

The girl he bumped into looked up at him upon hearing his apology. The initial anger on her intricately made-up face suddenly dissipated, replaced by a beaming smile. Her slender hand waved gently, deliberately lowering her voice, speaking softly, "It’s okay, I wasn’t watching where I was going."

Jiang Baizhou nodded slightly, intending to walk past her. Seeing this, the girl immediately reached out and grabbed his arm, fluttering her eyes coyly at him, "Are you drunk? Do you need help?"

When her hand touched his arm, Jiang Baizhou’s eyebrows instinctively furrowed. Before she could finish speaking, he had already withdrawn his arm, his lips curling into a cold, detached smile, "No, thank you."

"Hey... you..."

"Jiang Baizhou?"

Before she could finish speaking, a familiar, sweet voice came from the front. Jiang Baizhou turned his head to see a delicate, charming face appearing in his blurry vision.
