Chapter 161: Love can also make people unrecognizable
Jiang Baizhou’s cheeky demeanor, with a hint of playfulness, completely killed Cen Jin’s curiosity to continue asking questions. She simply rolled her eyes at him and ignored him—the more attention she gave him, the more energetic he got.
People say that jealousy can make one unrecognizable, but who’s ever heard that falling in love can do the same?
Seeing her displeased expression, the corners of Jiang Baizhou’s mouth curved again, but he didn’t give in and continued to keep the suspense until the end.
It wasn’t until Miss Yu Hui called for dinner that Cen Jin got up and left the living room to help set the table and serve the food, while Jiang Baizhou leisurely strolled into the dining room, lazily pulled out a chair, and sat down.
During dinner, Miss Yu Hui enthusiastically helped her with the food, and shortly, her bowl was piling up with dishes. Cen Jin smiled and said, "Aunt Hui Zi, do I look like someone who stands on ceremony? Haven’t I come over for dinner often enough for you to know me?"
"Don’t be polite, just treat it like your own home. Eat whatever you like and leave what you don’t. There are no outsiders here anyway," Miss Yu Hui said, smiling happily at her words.
Cen Jin smiled and nodded, quickly agreeing. She had heard these words countless times from Miss Yu Hui since she was young, but they always warmed her heart. This home felt like her second warm harbor, a place she could visit anytime.
After dinner, Cen Jin initially wanted to volunteer to wash the dishes and tidy up like before, but Miss Yu Hui refused.
Cen Jin didn’t insist further. She checked the time, saw it was already past one o’clock, and remembered she needed to go out at two. So she suggested going home to put on makeup and change clothes first, to which Jiang Baizhou nodded in agreement.
At two o’clock, when Jiang Baizhou saw she hadn’t come down yet, he intentionally sent her a WeChat message. Cen Jin quickly replied, asking him to wait five more minutes.
Jiang Baizhou looked at the message and really waited silently for five minutes. He thought she might take even longer like before, but just as he was about to step out, he saw a charming figure standing at the courtyard gate with a hand on the iron railing, as if she was planning to come in.
