"Spill it! Don’t keep us in suspense!" Seeing that he wasn’t speaking, Lu Xize was getting anxious. If it weren’t for the fact that he was driving and concerned about his own life, he would have dragged him onto the ’torture device’ and urged: "When did you and Cen Jin get together? How come I didn’t know? Couldn’t tell at all! Old Jiang, you’re quite something! You’ve been so busy these days and still managed to find time for romance, and now you’re even at the stage of marriage. Impressive!"
"What’s got you so worked up?" Seeing Lu Xize acting like he was about to ascend to the heavens, Jiang Baizhou calmly glanced at him and asked back.
"How can I not be excited? You go from being a bachelor to not only dating but heading straight for marriage."
Jiang Baizhou looked straight ahead, pressing his lips tightly. From the start, his intention was marriage. This thought, no matter how many years pass, would never change.
"Say something, will you? Don’t clams up at serious times!"
"No." Perhaps annoyed by the questioning, Jiang Baizhou shot him a sharp look and spat out these two acrid words.
"No what?" Lu Xize raised his eyebrows, carefully considering his expression and those two words, then suddenly couldn’t help but laugh: "You’re trying to laugh me to death so you can inherit my fortune, right? You haven’t even caught the person yet, and you’re already thinking about buying a marital home? No offense, Old Jiang, but man! You can’t aim too high without grounding yourself. First, win over Nie Cenjin before buying a marriage house, it’s not too late!"
Jiang Baizhou remained unfazed in the face of his mockery, showing no significant emotion change, except for a small increase in the force on the accelerator, and the car sped off with a ’whoosh’.
Fortunately, Lu Xize had his seatbelt on, or his head would’ve hit the dashboard. His previously smug and heartless laughter stopped immediately. Instinctively, he raised his hand to grab the handle above the right side of his head, speaking a bit nervously: "Cough, cough, take it easy, take it easy, Old Jiang, I’m just kidding around. We’re still so young, don’t play with danger, I won’t laugh anymore."
"Alright, I’ll call now." Once the car speed had reduced, Lu Xize picked up the phone and placed a call to Ke Yuanfan, who happened to be available and agreed.
Then he started showing off again.
"See, just a simple matter, isn’t this young master impressive? Come on, don’t hesitate to praise me, I can handle it." Lu Xize spread his hands, closed his eyes, and posed as if thoroughly enjoying himself.
"It’s time for your medication." But Jiang Baizhou wasn’t going to indulge this habit, and suddenly threw in a line, turning Lu Xize’s face of enjoyment into one of uninterest.
"I have to say, being with you is so dull. I don’t even know how I’ve endured over these past years. I’m really strong."
For his over-dramatic behavior, Jiang Baizhou chose to ignore it, unwilling to engage with this ’crazy person.’ Despite that, the matter of buying a house was already in his life plan, just like she was in every step of his future planning. The decision to buy the house, in fact, came after he had previously probed Cen Jin. Although she currently lived in a villa with Ms. Qin, she still hoped to have a small place of her own, provided it wasn’t too far from home. That’s not just her idea, it’s actually Ms. Qin’s idea too. If Cen Jin got married in the future, she couldn’t possibly still live at home, right?
So he started planning from that moment on, it’s just that he found a layout he liked these days, coincidentally it’s from Hengyuan Real Estate.
