My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 184: She doesn’t deserve this half-empty cup

Chapter 184

Chapter 184: 184: She doesn’t deserve this half-empty cup
Cen Jin watched as the three of them got along like a house on fire, completely ignoring her and Jiang Baizhou, so she said nothing and let them do as they pleased.
Once all the dishes were served, the group was chatting lively. Lu Shishu subconsciously poured a glass of wine for Cen Jin while pouring for everyone, only realizing afterward.
She, being a lightweight, was ’unworthy’ of drinking.
So, after a slight hesitation, she pushed the wine towards Jiang Baizhou, but upon seeing his righteous and stern face, she silently retrieved the glass and poured the wine back into her own glass.
Such good wine absolutely shouldn’t be wasted on the two of them, so she might as well drink it herself!
Cen Jin watched her series of silent actions, understanding her intent, and rolled her eyes at her.
But Jiang Baizhou remained unmoved. He didn’t like drinking anyway, and wasn’t fond of calling a chauffeur, so he picked up his chopsticks and served Cen Jin some food in silence.
After Ye Lingran had a glass, her face turned a bit red, so she waved her hand, saying, "I’m not drinking anymore; if I keep going, I’ll get drunk. I’m going to eat something."
"Alright, don’t force yourself if you can’t drink. We’re just taking it easy," Yu Feici said with a light sip of her wine, smiling.
After the meal, Jiang Baizhou called the waiter for the bill. As the waiter handed over the bill, Lu Shishu and Yu Feici exchanged meaningful glances with Jiang Baizhou. He narrowed his eyes slightly, said nothing, and handed a card to the waiter.
Once Jiang Baizhou settled the bill, the group left the restaurant. Lu Shishu, with a bright smile, said, "Thank you, Doctor Jiang, for spending so generously today!"
"It certainly was a spend today, just that bottle of wine that Shi Shu ordered is... ahem, but it tasted amazing. I love it. Haha, it’s rare for Jiang Baizhou to be so generous and treat us to a meal. Shi Shu, we should thank you! We wouldn’t have gotten Jiang Baizhou to treat us to a meal if it weren’t for you!" Yu Feici raised her eyebrows playfully at Lu Shishu, saying with a smile.
Jiang Baizhou remained calm and composed, showing no interest in joining the banter, silently holding Cen Jin’s little hand.
"You two should stop egging each other on," Cen Jin said, glancing at the two of them with feigned annoyance, and looking at the bag of unfinished Martell that Lu Shishu was holding. Cen Jin asked, "Shi Shu, did you call a driver?"
"I already did, they should be here soon."
"So, Feici, are you going with Shi Shu?" Cen Jin asked Yu Feici upon hearing this.
"Yes, we’re on the same route anyway, so it’d be a waste not to share the ride," Yu Feici nodded with a smile, then glanced at Ye Lingran beside her, "What about you, Ling Ran? Are you taking our ride back or what?"
"Ling Ran should just ride with us!" Cen Jin chimed in, looking over.
"No, it’s fine. I’ll just take a cab back myself. It’s not far from here to Yue Mountain District, only about twenty minutes or so," Ye Lingran smiled and politely declined with a wave of her hand.
"Come on! We’re passing by Yue Mountain District on our way back anyway, why bother with a cab! Come along! No need to be so formal with me!" Cen Jin tugged at her arm, then waved her hand at Lu Shishu and Yu Feici, "Shi Shu, Feici, we’re heading off first. Let us know when you get home safely in the group."
"Alright, you all be careful on the way," Lu Shishu nodded, smiling gently as she waved them goodbye.
