My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 254 - 250: Such a coincidence?

Chapter 254: 250: Such a coincidence?
"Thank you." Ye Lingran snapped back to reality and smiled as she took the hot cocoa handed to her. She gently blew away the steam rising from the cup, thought for a moment, and slowly asked, "Cen Jin, what does it feel like to get married?"
Surprised to suddenly hear her mention this topic, Cen Jin was a little taken aback, "Why did you suddenly bring this up? Are you thinking about getting married?"
"No... it’s not that." Ye Lingran took a sip of hot cocoa and quickly shook her head in denial, "I don’t even have a target, how could I be thinking about marriage."
"Then why did you suddenly ask?"
Ye Lingran sighed softly, "Wasn’t it the weekend a few days ago? My parents were both on business trips, and I had a client that day, so I didn’t go back. My grandmother was home alone, and the maid went out to buy groceries that day. As a result, she went out by herself, and it was only when the maid returned later that they realized she was missing. So they called me."
"Got lost? Why didn’t you tell me about such a big thing?"
"But fortunately, everything was fine."
"That’s good. Where did you find her?"
"Over by Central Street." Ye Lingran paused for a moment, "My grandmother happened to run into Yun Qi, who was there on business."
"Ah? Yun Qi?"
"Yes."
"Then what? What does that have to do with marriage? Did you..." Cen Jin’s eyes widened in surprise, full of incredulity, "You’re not thinking about marrying Yun Qi, are you?"
"No... no, don’t be ridiculous." Ye Lingran waved her hand in a fluster, a blush blooming across her face, "It’s just that when he drove my grandmother and me back, she suddenly became lucid and assumed Yun Qi was my boyfriend..."
Seeing Ye Lingran’s embarrassed look, Cen Jin’s surprise vanished without a trace, and she burst into laughter, looking very curious and gossipy, "Then what happened? Did you and Yun Qi admit to it?"
"Of course, I denied it! Since my grandmother is sometimes lucid and sometimes confused, even her memory is jumbled. And she didn’t believe me, she started talking about marriage." At this point, Ye Lingran was truly at a loss!
"What about Yun Qi? What did he say? Speaking of which, he didn’t respond to the s about you two last time, either."
Ye Lingran bit her lip, somewhat awkwardly, "Whatever my grandmother said, he went along with it. He even agreed about the marriage just to stabilize her emotions before leaving."
"Well, that’s understandable. Your grandmother’s greatest wish is to see you walk down the aisle in a wedding dress. Her condition is so volatile now that her mood is most important. It’s necessary to keep her calm. But it’s fortunate she ran into Yun Qi this time, let’s hope it doesn’t happen again. It’s very dangerous." Cen Jin understood Yun Qi’s approach.
"Yes, but both my parents are busy, and sometimes I’m busy too. The maid has to go out sometimes, it’s impossible to watch over her 24 hours a day." Ye Lingran sighed worriedly, "So, yesterday I discussed with my parents about sending my grandmother to a nursing home. There are professional caregivers there, which is good for her condition. Actually, I’m not too willing, but it’s really impossible to have both."
"Does your grandmother want to go?"
"She stayed in a nursing home before, and she’s willing." Ye Lingran looked troubled, "Yesterday, my dad and I sent my grandmother to the nursing home, and we also talked to their director."
"Alright, stop thinking about these things. Your grandmother will surely understand, spending more time with her is what’s important."
Ye Lingran smiled and nodded, "Yes, thank you! Cen Jin, for listening to me go on so long."
"If you want to thank me, then do something concrete! Treat me to dinner tonight! I want to have barbecue." Cen Jin cheerfully sipped her hot cocoa, raised an eyebrow, and said without any hesitation.
Ye Lingran chuckled and naturally agreed. Speaking of which, last time they went to Milan, Cen Jin brought her a gift. At that time, she wanted to transfer money to her, but Cen Jin adamantly refused to accept it. In the past few days, she’d been busy with two last-minute orders from the studio and hadn’t had any time. Now that she’s finally free, treating her to a meal was the least she could do.
"Sister Cen Jin, you told me this morning to take down the listing for the red wedding dress from the display, but someone just inquired about it. What should I say?" Just as they were discussing which barbecue place to eat at, Liu Zhiyan suddenly approached, asking hesitantly.
"I’ll handle that!" Upon hearing this, Ye Lingran promptly stood up, placed her hot cocoa on a nearby shelf, and patted Cen Jin on the shoulder, "You watch over things first, after I handle this, we’ll just take a cab over!"
"Okay."
"Sister Cen Jin, can we leave work early?" Liu Zhiyan asked with a hesitant smile after Ye Lingran left, looking at Cen Jin.
Cen Jin glanced at her, then at the clock hanging behind her, and smiled while nodding, "It’s only forty minutes to closing time anyway. The weather is cold and it’s raining, so you might as well head home early, just be careful on the way."
"Alright, thank you, Sister Cen Jin!"
"Sister Cen Jin, shall we head out too?" Just then, Ling Quan came over, smiling brightly, and glanced at Fan Yunru, who was following behind.
"Yes, you all can go together."
"Okay, hehe, love you! Sister Cen Jin, see you tomorrow!" Fan Yunru cheerfully waved her hand and dragged Ling Quan towards the door.
"Yes, see you tomorrow, be careful on your way home."
After the three of them left, about twenty minutes later, Ye Lingran’s issue was resolved, and the two called a car to head to their chosen barbecue restaurant.
By the time they arrived at the barbecue place, the sky had already darkened, and the rain had increased significantly. As they got out of the car, they only had one transparent umbrella, and their coats got slightly wet as they entered the restaurant, causing a chill to seep through their clothes.
Once inside, it was noticeably warmer than outside, and the restaurant was quite crowded, with seats filling up quickly. The server led them to a four-person table, and they ordered some of the usual dishes.
After warming up a bit, Cen Jin took off her black puffer coat, "It’s really warm in here, outside was freezing."
"They say it might snow for the first time tomorrow, I wonder if it will actually happen."
"Last year, it didn’t snow at all."
"Yeah, I’m really looking forward to the snow this year."
"Hey... aren’t you Jiang Baizhou’s wife?" Ye Lingran’s words had just fallen when a familiar and melodious female voice came from not far away.
At these words, Cen Jin instinctively turned her head to see a familiar yet unfamiliar face. She involuntarily paused, thinking to herself, ’Could it really be such a coincidence?’
