Chapter 128: Chapter 128

When Jiang Baizhou went up the stairs, he glanced at him unnoticeably, but did not respond to his words, just lifted his eyebrows. It was unclear whether he was acknowledging or just couldn’t be bothered to respond.

But with Lu Xize’s understanding of him, being looked at with such a gaze likely meant a confirmation. Leaning on the office door, he stopped fiddling with his keychain, crossed his arms, and looked at him with a sly smile: "Hey, when are you going to treat me to dinner?"

"You’ve finally started dating, shouldn’t you treat us to dinner?"

"I got into a relationship on my own merit, what’s it got to do with you?" Jiang Baizhou sat comfortably in the swivel chair, squinting slightly, "How about you treat me instead?"

Hearing this, Lu Xize scratched his ear indignantly and walked in, placing both hands on the desk, looking at him incredulously: "Did you take too much cold medicine the other day and fry your brains? Why should I treat you just because you started dating?"

"Then get out, I need to get busy now." Jiang Baizhou still looked expressionless, without any hint of anger, and after indifferently withdrawing his gaze, he began flipping through a nearby folder, thoroughly ignoring him.

Lu Xize scornfully pursed his lips, ready to leave, but suddenly remembered to ask: "By the way, how’s that house of yours coming along?"

Jiang Baizhou’s actions paused momentarily, pondering for a moment: "Pretty much sorted out."

"Alright." Lu Xize shrugged, one hand in his pocket, continuing to twirl the keys in a leisurely manner as he headed to his own office.

Lu Xize had barely been gone for two minutes when a young girl came over, tapping the door with her finger: "Doctor Jiang, Ms. Qi with the nine o’clock appointment has arrived."

A busy day always goes by quickly. By 5:30 in the afternoon, Cen Jin had nearly finished her tasks, and Ye Lingran had already left at 5:00. Sitting on the sofa, phone in hand, she thought it over and decided to call Jiang Baizhou. After about three and a half rings, the call was picked up, as always with that pleasant low and mellow voice: "Hello!"

"Um... are you done for the day?"

Jiang Baizhou glanced at the person sitting on the sofa in the consultation room, gently pursed his lips, and withdrew his gaze, "It’ll take a little while longer. Are you finished?"

After hanging up, Cen Jin tidied up her things a bit, closed her office door, and started walking to Jiang Baizhou’s consultancy room on foot.

Halfway there, Cen Jin received a call from Yu Feici, asking when she’d be free. After thinking it over, she replied saying the weekend.

"Then let’s do Saturday! Come over to my place for dinner Saturday night."

"Why the sudden dinner plan?"

"We haven’t seen each other in a month! Don’t you miss me?"

Cen Jin laughed, "I do, so Saturday night it is then!"

"Great, I’ll give Shi Shu a call too."

After putting away her phone, Cen Jin took about twelve to thirteen minutes to reach Jiang Baizhou’s psychology consultancy office. Ever since it officially opened, this was her first visit. She had been busy and her relationship with Jiang Baizhou was still in a vague state, leaving no chance to visit.

Looking at the white-themed, two-story duplex clinic, Cen Jin raised an eyebrow, smiled, and walked in. A girl in a white chiffon top greeted her: "Hello, who are you looking for?"
