CHAPTER 98: 098: THEN KEEP THINKING

Hearing his words, Jiang Baizhou glanced at her and nodded without denying, "Yeah, there’re two more layouts over there. They’re basically the same, just with different room locations. The renovation might have different effects then. Do you want to go take a look?"

His light "yeah" landed on her heart, making Cen Jin feel almost floaty. She barely heard the words that followed. Staring at the layout of the room, her eyes seemed to be able to see the daily life he would have with the one he loves in this house. Her nose inexplicably turned sour, yet she tried hard to suppress the urge to cry.

"I think... I think this place is pretty good! You can see Qinghe and Jiang from afar, the balcony is quite spacious, and you can put a hanging chair here. In winter, you can bask in the sun, and at night enjoy the view," Cen Jin turned around, looking into the distance, trying hard to keep her slightly sore eyes wide open, her tone noticeably unstable.

"Do you really think this one is good?"

"Yeah."

"Then there’s no need to see the other two?"

"Yeah." Cen Jin clenched her fist so tightly that even her nails digging into her palm didn’t register any pain. Suddenly a nameless fury surged within her but eventually calmed down.

She really wanted to question him loudly, if he already had someone he liked, shouldn’t he bring that person to see such an important thing like house hunting? What’s the point of having her visit, even if they were best friends, such behavior was a fatal blow to her.

But at this moment, she didn’t even have the courage to question him like that.

"Then it’ll be this one! No need to see the other two," Jiang Baizhou nodded. Actually, among the three layouts, he was the most satisfied with this one.

"Yeah." Cen Jin looked back at him, pulling out a strained smile, afraid he would notice her oddity, she immediately looked away, "Since it’s settled, let’s go! Don’t you have to return the keys over there later? Are you signing the contract today?"

"I’ll return the keys first and talk to Yuan Fan about the contract later," Jiang Baizhou said casually, hand in pocket, twirling his key ring, looking very at ease and relaxed.

Apparently, he had firmly decided to go through Ke Yuanfan, probably even hoping for a friendly discount or something.

After leaving the apartment, Cen Jin’s emotions were somewhat downcast, walking with her head down the whole way. When they reached the car, Jiang Baizhou suddenly stopped, and Cen Jin, following behind, didn’t notice, running right into his broad back.

As she bumped into him, Jiang Baizhou paused, slightly turning his head to see her rubbing her forehead in pain, her pretty face all scrunched up as she furrowed her brows and asked, "Are you okay?"

Cen Jin rubbed her forehead and shook her head, "I’m fine."

"Not watching where you’re going again, what were you thinking about?" Jiang Baizhou pursed his thin lips and asked again.

Upon hearing this, Cen Jin’s hand stopped rubbing her head, she quickly turned to the car, opened the door, got in, and threw out a haphazardly knit response, "Nothing, I was just thinking about what to eat for dinner, didn’t notice."

Jiang Baizhou raised his eyebrows and got into the driver’s seat, "So, have you decided yet?"

"No."

"Then keep thinking, it’s still early." With that, Jiang Baizhou took his eyes off her, started the car, and drove back to the estate.
