My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 207 - 206: Will definitely be happy

Chapter 207: 206: Will definitely be happy
Jiang Baizhou raised an eyebrow slightly at the remark, perhaps because her words hit the spot in his heart. A small trace of joy and pride crossed his eyes. After a slight hesitation, he finally extended his long arm, picked up the glass, and looked at everyone: "Here’s to you all."
Yu Feici saw this, showed a sly smile, exchanged glances with Lu Shishu and Yun Xi, and all raised their glasses: "There are so many people here, and since you’re Cen Jin’s husband, shouldn’t you toast each one of us? Besides, since Cen Jin isn’t a good drinker, shouldn’t you drink double?"
Jiang Baizhou naturally knew this was a trap from them. Encountering such a rare opportunity to get him to drink, these few wine lovers surely wouldn’t want to miss it.
But he wasn’t a fool either; he would never let them lead him by the nose. After all, he always had strong self-control and independence.
"What you’re talking about will only happen at next year’s wedding, it doesn’t exist now." Jiang Baizhou lightly shook the wine glass in his hand and spoke with an air of casualness.
"Come on, Bai Zhou, don’t be like that, today is at least Cen Jin’s birthday and your two’s housewarming, right? At least make a gesture! Otherwise, they might doubt your sincerity towards Cen Jin." At this moment, Lu Xize bore a grudge and thus stood very loyally on Yu Feici’s side, secretly vowing in his heart to make Jiang Baizhou drink this time.
Upon hearing this, a cold look brushed across Jiang Baizhou’s face, but Lu Xize wasn’t intimidated at all and looked back boldly.
They were determined to make Jiang Baizhou drink, although he was unwilling to. Cen Jin initially wanted to say something, but Lu Shishu stopped her with a glance, so she couldn’t say anything after all.
They stalemated for several minutes before Cen Jin couldn’t help but say, "If you guys are playing games, just play games, but know your limits! We’ve got stuff to do tomorrow morning!"
"Oh? What stuff?" Yu Feici raised an eyebrow, looking at her with meaning and a mischievous smile.
Once Yu Feici asked, everyone turned their attention to her, making Cen Jin realize the implication in her question, so she glared at her in embarrassment and annoyance: "Stop being improper! Today is our first day moving into the new house, so we plan to visit my dad’s grave tomorrow morning."
With that, everyone understood. Although Mr. Nie passed away early, now that they were married, it was normal to visit his grave.
Though they loved to joke around, they would never make jokes about such matters. The pain of losing a close family member, Yu Feici understood most. She lost her parents at a young age and was raised by her uncle and aunt. Although she developed an easygoing, carefree personality, she was actually sensitive and vulnerable deep down, yearning for many things but unwilling to show it.
Because of Cen Jin’s words, Jiang Baizhou was spared from their teasing. With a deep smile, he glanced at Cen Jin, and under the table, his left hand quietly grasped her right hand, gently squeezing it.
Cen Jin glanced sideways and said nothing, retracting her gaze.
When the meal ended, Ye Lingran was already staggering drunk, walking lightly, while Lu Shishu, Yu Feici, and Yun Xi, the three wine enthusiasts, were visibly tipsy too, far more animated than usual. They didn’t seem like three people who just met, walking shoulder to shoulder, arm in arm, wobbling towards the booth’s exit, humming some popular folk songs or nursery rhymes.
"Lingran, are you okay?" Seeing Ye Lingran just coming out of the restroom, Cen Jin, who was specially waiting in place, immediately went up to support her and asked.
Ye Lingran smiled faintly and shook her head: "I’m fine... Where are Shi Shu and the others?"
Cen Jin sighed helplessly, almost in tears: "Those few drank quite a bit too, they’ve already headed outside, and Lu Xize and Yun Qi are with them! You’re just too honest, not a great drinker yet messing around with them like this. You know Shi Shu and Feici well enough to know they can drink endlessly. It’s best to avoid them at such times. Tell me, how many times have you stumbled with them?"
Ye Lingran heard this and also laughed helplessly: "Actually, it’s not that bad, just a little dizzy."
"Alright, let’s go! I’m supporting you."
"Mm, thank you."
Cen Jin supported Ye Lingran to the elevator entrance, Jiang Baizhou reached out and pressed the elevator button, and after the three of them descended, Jiang Baizhou went to pay the bill.
"These three are fine, right?" In the restaurant lobby, Cen Jin looked at those three ’drunkards’ laughing foolishly and still singing loudly and glanced helplessly at Yun Qi and Lu Xize.
"We’ve tried to stop them, but it’s useless, anyway, it’s best to stay away from them now to avoid getting odd looks from others. Some might think they just came out of a mental hospital!" Lu Xize silently shook his head, and while speaking, instinctively retreated several steps back, keeping a distance from the three.
"What are we going to do about them now? Stop with the sarcastic remarks." Cen Jin, a bit out of patience, glared at him and asked.
"Yun Xi came with me, I can take her back, but as for these two..." Yun Qi spoke warmly, his hesitating gaze finally landing on Lu Shishu and Yu Feici.
Not considering he’s a guy, it was his first time meeting Lu Shishu and Yu Feici today, and he didn’t know them well. Offering to take them home suddenly would seem too abrupt.
"Feici and Shi Shu can be taken back by Jiang Baizhou and me! It’s not convenient for you guys, and besides, Lu Xize, you’ve drunk quite a bit too, don’t drive, just call for a designated driver instead." Saying this, Cen Jin looked at Ye Lingran leaning on her shoulder: "Lingran... "
"If Miss Ye doesn’t mind, you can ride with me, it’s on the way," Yun Qi picked up the conversation naturally, looking at the red-faced, drunk Ye Lingran.
He was more familiar with Ye Lingran than Lu Shishu and the others, having driven her before, and indeed his place was on the way.
"Alright, then I’ll leave Lingran with you, thank you, Yun Qi." Cen Jin smiled and nodded to Yun Qi.
Yun Qi smiled softly, stepped two steps closer to her: "No worries, you’re welcome." After a pause, he added, "Cen Jin, I hope you find happiness."
Cen Jin was slightly stunned, just about to respond, when a pleasant and familiar deep male voice came from not far away: "Thank you, President Yun, for your concern. Since she’s with me, she will naturally be happy. No need to trouble yourself with worry, President Yun."
Hearing this voice, everyone’s gaze simultaneously turned, and they saw Jiang Baizhou striding over, stopping by Cen Jin’s side. Seeing this, Yun Qi chuckled lightly: "Indeed, with someone as excellent as Doctor Jiang, I believe Cen Jin will certainly be happy."
