My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 244 - 240: Isn’t it nice to sleep at the new house?

Chapter 244: 240: Isn’t it nice to sleep at the new house?
After the two returned to the hotel, they enjoyed a relaxing soak in a hot bath and then collapsed onto the bed together. As they were getting ready to sleep, Jiang Baizhou noticed Zhu Qinghan’s friend request had come through. He hesitated slightly and glanced at Cen Jin.
Cen Jin was yawning and getting ready to sleep when she noticed him looking at her. With a hint of defensiveness, she asked, "What... are you up to now?"
Jiang Baizhou placed his phone in front of her. Cen Jin looked at it closely, and after a moment of realization, said, "Ah, your senior?"
"Yes."
"Why are you showing me? She’s adding you, not me."
Jiang Baizhou eyed her, pressed his lips together, and tested the waters by asking, "Can I accept it?"
Upon hearing this, Cen Jin couldn’t help but laugh. She deliberately joked, "What if I say I don’t want you to accept it? Will you actually not accept it?"
Just as the words left her mouth, Jiang Baizhou’s long fingers gently swiped the screen and directly hit the ’reject’ button. Cen Jin watched in shock, her eyes wide open. She immediately sat up from the bed and snatched his phone away: "No... I was just saying it casually, joking around. You’re really rejecting her?"
"Since you don’t like it, then I won’t add her. It’s not important." Jiang Baizhou lay back down calmly, unhurried and completely unconcerned about the matter.
"But... after all, she’s your senior! She even said something today when we met. If we get back to Nancheng and she invites you for dinner and asks about this, how will you respond?" Cen Jin was driven to tears by his straightforwardness, thinking she would need to be extra careful in the future when joking with him.
"Slipped my hand, clicked wrong."
"..."
Cen Jin’s mouth twitched a few times. The fact that he could say such nonsense was really something else.
Cen Jin placed the phone aside and took a deep breath. She lay down beside him and gave him a playful glance: "I was just saying it offhandedly, and you actually clicked reject so quickly." She had a bit of selfishness in her heart; who would want their husband to have such a beautiful and charming woman on his WeChat? Especially someone like his senior.
But she wasn’t petty, of course, and knew she had to give him some face. Besides, she was quite confident and sure of Jiang Baizhou’s feelings for her. Their relationship couldn’t be easily shaken by anyone, not even someone extraordinary.
"Not as important as you." Jiang Baizhou turned on his side and wrapped her tightly in his arms, closing his eyes: "Rejected is rejected. Weren’t you tired? Sleep, unless... you want to do something else?"
Upon hearing this, Cen Jin shivered and lifted her eyelids to see him squinting at her. She instinctively yawned and nodded: "Hmm, saying that does make me feel tired, let’s sleep, it’s late. Turn off the lights!"
Jiang Baizhou chuckled lightly, well aware she was genuinely tired today and didn’t intend to tease her further. He just couldn’t resist joking with her after seeing her reaction.
***
On the following day, Jiang Baizhou woke up around eight o’clock, but seeing how sweetly Cen Jin was sleeping, he didn’t have the heart to wake her up. He tucked her in gently and gave her a soft kiss on the forehead, then sat nearby flipping through a magazine and using his phone to pass the time.
It wasn’t until sometime after eleven that the person asleep on the bed began to stir. She turned over, bleary-eyed, and looked around, not seeing Jiang Baizhou. Just as she slightly rose, a warm and familiar voice drifted over, instantly calming her: "Awake?"
Cen Jin tilted her body towards the window, where Jiang Baizhou sat sipping coffee and checking his phone: "What time is it?"
"It’s half past eleven."
"Ah, this late?" Cen Jin quickly sat up and looked surprised: "Why didn’t you wake me up? When did you get up?"
"After eight," Jiang Baizhou took a sip of coffee, remaining calm: "You said you were tired yesterday, right? It’s okay to get up late today, since we aren’t rushing to work."
"But it’s too late now!" Cen Jin threw off the covers and got out of bed: "We’re finally taking this opportunity to spend a few days abroad playing. I don’t want to waste it sleeping like this, that would be too regrettable and meaningless."
You can sleep anywhere!
Wouldn’t sleeping in your new house be just as enjoyable?
Spending money to sleep abroad?
"I’m a bit hungry. I’ll freshen up, change clothes, and go out to eat! This afternoon, we can stroll around the shopping street and pick out gifts for mom and dad, also Ling Ran and Yun Xi. I promised Shi Shu and Feici I’d bring them gifts too!"
"Okay, I’ll wait for you." Jiang Baizhou wasn’t particularly concerned about these things. As long as she was happy, go ahead! He had come out this time mainly to accompany her, so naturally it was all about her.
It was already noon by the time Cen Jin finished grooming, changing clothes, and applying makeup. Jiang Baizhou remained composed and calm, accustomed to such things. When she stood before him looking radiant and bright, he slowly lifted his gaze and lightly opened his lips: "Ready?"
"Hmm, ready, let’s go!" Cen Jin smiled sweetly.
The two then went out and chose a nearby restaurant for lunch. Before heading to the shopping street, Jiang Baizhou wisely rented a car, knowing they would spend the entire day there. Looking at the large bags in the car trunk, Jiang Baizhou raised an eyebrow, thinking renting the car was indeed a smart choice.
It’s not that Cen Jin’s shopping was terrifying, but accompanying a woman shopping needs full preparedness—especially in a place she’s never been before, intending to bring so many gifts back home. He thought that even if he grew ten more hands, it wouldn’t be enough to carry them all. Renting a car was straightforward and convenient!
In the following two days, Cen Jin enjoyed her time leisurely, visiting one famous tourist spot each day, carefree and happy. For this short ’honeymoon’, Cen Jin felt quite satisfied.
On the morning of the ninth, Cen Jin was packing up and realized many things couldn’t fit. Watching her fretting as she sat on the floor, Jiang Baizhou shook his head with a helpless smile. He simply turned around and made a call to hotel services, asking them to bring up a suitcase.
"You’re always thoughtful," Cen Jin cheerfully spread open the suitcase and started packing the gifts she prepared for Ms. Qin and Miss Yu Hui.
Once she finished, Jiang Baizhou took charge of the three suitcases, and together they headed to the airport.
At one thirty in the afternoon, the flight took off from Milan International Airport heading towards Nancheng.
When they arrived at Nancheng Airport, it was already six o’clock in the evening, and Miss Yu Hui and Ms. Qin drove to pick them up, heading straight back to the villa.
