Seeing the smiles on the faces of Ms. Qin and Ms. Yu Hui, Cen Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least her anxious heart had calmed down. When she first saw their attitudes, she thought they would strongly oppose!
Just this one hour or so had her all worked up and could be said to be very distressing.
After Ms. Yu Hui left, Jiang Baizhou also stood up and said goodbye to Ms. Qin, who happily nodded in response and even asked Cen Jin to see him off.
Cen Jin didn’t refuse either. After watching Ms. Qin go upstairs, she turned to look at Jiang Baizhou, who was still sitting there unaffected, and reached out to push his shoulder: "What are you still sitting here for? Waiting for my mom to invite you for breakfast tomorrow? Let’s go!"
Jiang Baizhou raised his eyes, leisurely getting up, raising his handsome eyebrows slightly, his cool gaze shooting directly at her charming face: "If Aunt Qin invites, staying wouldn’t be impossible."
Hearing his somewhat reluctant words, Cen Jin rolled her eyes at him: "From what you’re saying, being asked to stay feels like a grievance to you?"
"Not at all, it’s an honor." Jiang Baizhou’s eyes filled with a hint of a smile, pausing for a moment before continuing, "So... are you planning to keep me?"
"Hmph, you’re dreaming too beautifully, it’s impossible, let’s go!" Cen Jin huffed lightly, gave him a teasing glance, and pulled his arm towards the door.
Jiang Baizhou didn’t resist, letting her pull him while displaying a thoroughly relaxed and content expression, the smile in his eyes not diminishing but increasing instead.
Once they were out the gate, Cen Jin pulled him aside for a few more steps, stopping only when they were just over a meter away from his gate, releasing his arm: "Tomorrow I might leave a bit late, if you’re busy you can go ahead."
"Then hurry inside! Goodnight."
Cen Jin raised an eyebrow, without being pretentious, nodded: "Okay, I’ll head in then."
Just as she waved and was about to turn around, a strong presence suddenly approached, her wrist was grabbed and she was pulled into a familiar embrace with a snug waist.
Cen Jin froze for a second, and when she looked up, that handsome face infinitely enlarged in her clear pupils. Her lips slightly parted, just about to say something, when her breath was suddenly taken away by a touch.
Blinking in bewilderment, Cen Jin thought to herself, in the short span of thirty-odd hours since they started dating, how many times had this guy launched sudden attacks!
And this scene was precisely seen by Ms. Qin upstairs, who was about to close the curtains, instantly showing an amused smile.
These young people, showing their love without regard to place!
Even coming to close the curtains, she was force-fed a mouthful of dog food.
But seeing the two of them finally together, she was really gratified. Closing the curtains, she turned to a cabinet, opened a drawer, and took out a photo album. The first photo was a solitary one in a police uniform.
Ms. Qin smiled, gently rubbing the photo with her finger, and whispered: "Old Nie, you can finally rest easy! Your precious girl finally found her happiness with Baizhou, whom you always admired. She will definitely be happy in the future, and you, in the spirit world, must bless them well, may they all be fine."
For so many years she held on alone, when Mr. Nie passed away, how could she not have thought of going with him!
But at that time, Cen Jin was still young, she really couldn’t bear to leave her alone to suffer.
