My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 78 - 0: Open

After they all left, the driver Jiang Baizhou called hadn’t arrived yet. The two sat quietly in the car waiting, and Cen Jin looked at the dazzling night scene outside the car window, feeling anxious. Then she heard a light cough from beside her.

Cen Jin turned her head to look, seeing him leaning against the seat back with his eyes closed, his brows knitted together and his expression unpleasant. She pondered for a moment, then asked, "Are you okay?"

"Mm." Jiang Baizhou made a nasal sound lightly without opening his eyes.

"How much did you drink?"

"Not much."

"How much is not much?"

Jiang Baizhou pursed his lips and remained silent for a long while, still not speaking.

Seeing him not speak, Cen Jin couldn’t help feeling a bit sorry. Usually, Jiang Baizhou was very self-disciplined; such things like getting drunk never happened, it could be said today was the first time. Besides, she knew his tolerance wasn’t great, just sitting next to him smelling the alcohol she knew the liquor’s proof must be high.

Originally, she wanted to ask why he suddenly drank, but after thinking about it, Lu Xize was also there today, along with someone named Ke Yuanfan, probably something on business. She just didn’t ask.

The car became quiet again, and Cen Jin suddenly remembered the girl standing with him outside the restroom earlier, pondered for a while, her lips moving but didn’t know how to speak.

"What do you want to say?" Jiang Baizhou, with eyes closed, seemed to sense her hesitation and unspoken words, calmly broke the silence.

"No..." Cen Jin denied, but after speaking seemed unnecessary, softly asked, "That girl... outside the restroom earlier, who was she?"

"Don’t know."

"Oh, oh." Cen Jin softly responded.

"Don’t believe?"

"No!"

"Anything else you want to ask?"

"No more." Cen Jin shook her head and gave him a light smile.

A few seconds later, Jiang Baizhou slowly opened his eyes, turning to look at her, just meeting her beautiful watery eyes, his brows unconsciously twitched slightly.

The two probably stared at each other for ten or twenty seconds, Cen Jin felt a bit unnerved by his gaze, urged, "Why are you looking at me? How long has it been, why hasn’t your driver arrived yet!"

In Jiang Baizhou’s misty eyes, a trace of smile appeared, he continued to gaze at her profile without answering her, the atmosphere inside the car suddenly quieted and solidified.

After a while, seeing he had no intention to speak, Cen Jin tried to break the silence: "Um, you just drank, feeling dizzy?"

"Mm, a little."

"Then... I’ll go buy you a bottle of water!" Cen Jin thought for a moment, speaking while opening the car door and got out, not giving Jiang Baizhou a chance to reply, she just ran off.

Jiang Baizhou sat alone in the car, gathered his gaze and chuckled lightly. After about two or three minutes, the driver arrived, apologized several times for keeping him waiting outside the car, then got into the driver’s seat. When he started the car, he turned and asked, "Hello, sir, can we go now?"

"Wait a moment."

"Okay."

Jiang Baizhou turned his head to look in the direction where Cen Jin had left, just in time for that beautiful figure to fall into his sight. His previously furrowed brows gradually relaxed. When Cen Jin opened the car door and got in, looking at the bottle of mineral water in her hand, he asked, "Why so slow?"

"There were more people in the shop just now, so I queued up, here." Cen Jin nodded to the driver in front, then answered his question and handed the water over.

Jiang Baizhou gathered his gaze and looked at her hand, thought for a moment, and casually said, "Open it."
