My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 70 - 0: What he likes will not be her

"Alright! There’s nothing more I can say if you put it that way." Lu Shishu shrugged and continued to walk forward.

"How about you?" Jiang Baizhou caught up and asked nonchalantly.

Lu Shishu’s face remained calm, with no excessive expressions, just a seemingly charming smile lingering at the corner of her mouth: "Me? I’m doing great! Work is going well, family is harmonious, I can eat and sleep well. Why? Suddenly concerned about me? Why do I feel a bit creeped out?"

"Just asking casually." Jiang Baizhou glanced at her and replied lightly, looking straight ahead without any intention of saying more.

After getting her wound bandaged, Cen Jin had been waiting for Jiang Baizhou on a chair outside the corridor. Hearing footsteps, she instinctively turned her head to look and spotted two familiar figures entering her view, suddenly recalling a scene from that unforgettable chemistry class in sophomore year of high school.

Although they were still a bit far, Lu Shishu seemed to have said something, prompting Jiang Baizhou to glance at her intentionally, and then Lu Shishu covered her mouth and laughed.

At that moment, the warmth Cen Jin had accumulated over the past few days vanished like a passing bloom, dissipating into thin air.

It seemed that from the beginning, he would never like her.

As they approached, Cen Jin slowly stood up, and Lu Shishu walked up to her in high heels, glancing down at her bandaged calf with narrowed, playful eyes: "Wow, Nie Cenjin, such a big deal as getting injured, and you didn’t say a word to me? You even chatted with me on WeChat pretending like nothing’s wrong, not mentioning it at all. Are you trying to end our friendship?"

Hearing Lu Shishu’s scolding, Cen Jin’s initially tense face suddenly broke into a smile: "It’s really not a big deal, just accidentally got scraped by an electric scooter."

"Not a big deal? I think you have a big heart! Even like this, you talk about it so lightly." Lu Shishu rolled her eyes at her, her tone becoming a bit sharper.

"Really, it’s fine now." Cen Jin gave a sheepish smile and suddenly changed the subject: "What are you doing here? Not feeling well?"

"What could happen to me? I’m here to run errands for my mom, to pick up medicine." She said, shaking the slip in her hand.

"Auntie still hasn’t gotten over her headaches?"

"No, but it’s nothing serious, she says it herself."

"I haven’t seen Auntie for a long time either, I’ll visit her next time."

"You should take care of your leg first so my mom won’t start nagging about you again."

"Uh... that’s true." Cen Jin smiled awkwardly, thinking of Mrs. Lu’s ’worrying’ nature; seeing her like this would definitely result in a scolding.

The three of them walked together towards the hall. Jiang Baizhou signaled for her to wait on the side while he went to line up to pay and collect the medicine, and Lu Shishu also needed to pay and collect medicine, so she followed Jiang Baizhou in line.

Watching the backs of the two, an unbidden pain surged in Cen Jin’s heart; her eyes also dimmed as she turned her head away to neither look nor think any further.

After waiting for five or six minutes, Jiang Baizhou and Lu Shishu each carried a white bag and walked over. As the three of them left the hospital gate, Lu Shishu suggested, "Do you have time this evening? How about having dinner together?"

"I think my mom should have dinner ready tonight." Cen Jin smiled apologetically but then thought of something: "Why don’t you come over to my house, Shi Shu?"

"Sure! It’s been ages since I had Aunt Qin’s cooking and snacks, let’s go! I drove myself here, see you in a bit." Lu Shishu didn’t refuse, smiling as she replied, heading towards where she’d parked her car.
