My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 206 - 205: This statement makes sense

Chapter 206: 205: This statement makes sense
Today is a rather special occasion; it’s both Cen Jin’s birthday and their housewarming day. The people invited are quite close and familiar, so the atmosphere is lively and joyful.
Usually, for such an important day, both sides’ relatives should be invited, but Cen Jin’s aunt has always been abroad. Ms. Qin mentioned this to her aunt on WeChat and didn’t ask her to travel all the way back just for a meal and waste their time, saying that it’s not too late to come back for Cen Jin’s wedding next year.
As for Jiang Baizhou’s family, since Jiang Yuyang and Yu Hui are both only children, there aren’t many relatives to invite. Those distant ones aren’t really in contact with them, so they weren’t invited.
With Lu Shishu and Yu Feici both being fond of drinking, plus the naturally lively and cheerful Yun Xi, the three were quickly drinking together. Originally, Yun Xi and Lu Xize didn’t like each other, but due to the presence of elders and it being Cen Jin’s birthday, they refrained from speaking disagreeably, only secretly clashing with their glances, neither willing to give in.
Cen Jin thought it was indeed a right choice when Jiang Baizhou suggested separating their seats.
If seated together, wouldn’t they end up fighting!
"Ah, young people! They really have energy." Yu Hui watched them talking, laughing, and drinking together, unable to help smiling.
Qin Xuesu heard and glanced back at her, also smiling and nodding, "Why don’t we three elders, having eaten and cut the cake, make our exit? Let the young ones have their fun; they might cause a commotion until quite late!"
"Sounds good, I can’t keep up with all this." Yu Hui agreed with a smile, signaling to Jiang Yuyang.
"Fine, I have a to review later, you young folks take your time with the drinks and games, but be careful, don’t drink too much. Those who’ve had alcohol shouldn’t drive, be cautious, we’ll head out first." After Jiang Yuyang finished his tea, he slowly got up and said to Jiang Baizhou and Cen Jin, "Bai Zhou, it’s Cen Jin’s birthday today, have fun and take good care of her."
"Yeah." Jiang Baizhou responded calmly, with nothing much more to add.
"Uncle, Aunt, you’re leaving now?" Watching them prepare to leave, Yu Feici curiously stood up and asked.
"This is your young people’s event, we’ve eaten well and should leave now. Thanks again for coming to Cen Jin’s birthday party today." Qin Xuesu smiled kindly and looked around at them, "With us sitting here, you can’t really enjoy yourselves, feeling too restricted. Take your time playing, just drink less, too much harms the body and you’ll end up feeling bad yourself, you know?"
"Alright, got it. Uncle, Aunt, travel safe."
After seeing the three elders off, Yu Feici and the rest fully let loose, having even more fun. Cen Jin, because Jiang Baizhou forbade her from drinking, could only sit quietly with a glass of coconut juice, watching them play Truth or Dare.
The game was suggested by Yu Feici, and Yun Qi and Ye Lingran initially weren’t intending to participate but were forcefully pulled in by Yun Xi and Yu Feici. In just the first three rounds, the three drinkers ’poured’ three glasses of brandy on them.
"I’m suddenly worried about Ling Ran and Yun Qi." Cen Jin whispered to Jiang Baizhou, leaning closer.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Baizhou turned his head, slightly furrowing his brow, a hint of displeasure crossing his handsome face: "Yun Qi, being a company president, constantly socializes, his alcohol tolerance shouldn’t be bad, you should be more worried about Ye Lingran."
"But you know Shi Shu’s alcohol tolerance, and Lu Xize and Yu Feici handle their drinks well too, this game feels like a setup." Cen Jin was focused on the game and didn’t notice Jiang Baizhou’s expression change.
Jiang Baizhou suddenly grabbed her small hand, tightening slightly, pulling her closer with a somewhat annoyed tone: "I said, you’re not allowed to worry about any man besides me."
Being pulled close by him, Cen Jin was initially surprised, but hearing his warning, she couldn’t help laughing, teasing deliberately: "I’m just saying, are you that jealous!"
"Yes, I am." Jiang Baizhou replied firmly with furrowed brows, head held high.
Cen Jin laughed helplessly, nodding: "Okay, okay, I won’t mention it anymore, alright? I’ll only worry about Ling Ran, is that okay?"
"No?"
"Huh?"
"You can only worry about me."
"You haven’t even drunk."
Jiang Baizhou pursed his lips, pondered briefly, eyed the untouched glass on the table, picked it up, took a small sip, then looked at her, his eyes filled with sincerity: "Hmm, now I’ve drunk."
Cen Jin: "..."
Cen Jin was speechless, lowering her face in dismay, a hint of contempt flashing across his handsome features: "I honestly wonder how you’re getting more shameless!"
Upon her words, Jiang Baizhou gleefully raised an eyebrow, his gaze becoming deeper, lips curling into what seemed like a mischievous, cunning smile: "Hmm? Maybe because with a wife now, the face doesn’t matter as much, what do you think?"
"..."
Cen Jin was stunned; she couldn’t believe the once aloof, reserved Jiang Baizhou had become this sly and flirtatious person.
"Cen Jin, Jiang Baizhou, aren’t you really coming? It’s your day after all, wouldn’t it be good to join in?" Just as they were whispering, Yu Feici cast a mischievous glance at them, making her intentions quite obvious.
"Better not! I’m not up for a drinking binge with you guys, you play on your own! The drinks today are on us, party as you wish." Cen Jin clearly understood their motive, choosing to avoid the conflict.
"Jiang Baizhou, you..."
"Drinks are on us, enjoy yourselves." Yu Feici’s sentence was cut off by Jiang Baizhou casually. His gaze flicked subtly over them, lingering on Yun Qi for a few seconds before returning.
His words leaving Yu Feici momentarily speechless, she pouted, regretfully glaring at him: "Honestly, Jiang Baizhou, you’re married to Cen Jin, us her close friends, don’t you think you should toast us? Otherwise, we’ll be constantly competing for her attention."
"Hmm, well said." Normally leisurely and cool, Lu Shishu listened and also smiled faintly, softly echoing.
