My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 182: Financial Power?

Chapter 182: 182: Financial Power?
Cen Jin withdrew from his embrace, quickly tidied up the drawings on the table, saved everything on the computer, then walked over to him and smiled, "Alright, let’s go! My bag and phone are outside."
"Okay."
After the two left the design room, Cen Jin picked up her bag and phone, then looked at Ye Lingran, who was still busy, and walked over to ask, "Lingran, are you not done yet?"
"Hmm, almost done. Still on time." Ye Lingran looked back at her and smiled gently.
"We’re going to eat, you should come too!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingran stood up, glanced at Jiang Baizhou who was standing not far behind Cen Jin, and with the same smile, waved her hand and refused, "No, you two go eat. I don’t want to be a third wheel. You guys go ahead! I’ll head back by myself later."
Cen Jin realized she misunderstood, pretended to throw her a disdainful look and said, "What third wheel! Geez! Today, Jiang Baizhou promised Shi Shu he’d take her out for dinner, Feici will be there too, so you should come along!"
"Oh, I see!" Ye Lingran nodded in sudden realization, "But, you’re treating Shi Shu to dinner, isn’t it a bit rude for me to just tag along?"
"What’s there to be concerned about? You know Shi Shu and Feici, you’ve had meals together before, why so formal? Come on, come on, hurry up."
Ye Lingran, being dragged along, had no choice but to comply, grabbed her bag and phone, and looked at Jiang Baizhou with an apologetic expression, "Doctor Jiang, I’m sorry for making you spend more tonight."
"No worries." Jiang Baizhou replied curtly, then turned and walked towards the door.
After shutting the door of the studio, Cen Jin took the passenger seat, while Ye Lingran sat in the back, and the three arrived at the entrance of an upscale Chinese restaurant.
This place was selected by Lu Shishu, and the private room was booked under Jiang Baizhou’s name.
Seeing the restaurant’s decor and grandeur, Cen Jin couldn’t help but feel a pang of concern for Jiang Baizhou’s wallet. Maybe it’s because they were now legally married, she had started to think about finances already. Their house was under renovation, and they were heavily in debt, so money had to be spent sparingly.
As the waiter led the way, Cen Jin leaned closer to Jiang Baizhou and whispered, "I think Shi Shu is really planning to fleece you this time. Are you mentally prepared?"
Jiang Baizhou turned his head to glance at her, his eyes filled with traces of a smile, "No worries, I was prepared for this."
"She’s a notorious drinker, and the wine here is bound to be very, very expensive."
"What? Heartbroken over my wallet?"
"Of course, don’t forget, we’re married now, what’s yours is mine, how can I not feel the pinch?" Cen Jin said with justified confidence, her tone very firm.
Jiang Baizhou couldn’t help but laugh at her words. Were it not for the setting, he’d want to pull her into his arms for a good kiss, but he restrained this impulse, holding her fair jade-like hand instead, "Don’t worry, it’s worth it. If you’re really concerned, I’ll let you keep all my cards when we get back."
"Are you giving me control of the finances?" Cen Jin squinted her eyes, casting a sidelong glance at him.
"Don’t want it?"
"Yes, of course, I want it." Since he said so, Cen Jin naturally wouldn’t be polite about it. After all, she was now lawfully managing his finances. Although they weren’t living together yet, they were legally married, weren’t they?
