Chapter 130: Chapter 130
Watching Lu Xize’s gesturing, Cen Jin couldn’t hold back her laughter, feeling a bit thrilled inside.
"Xuanxuan, go ahead and get busy! The sooner you finish, the sooner you can leave." Lu Xize intentionally sent Wei Xuan away, winked at her, and said with a smile.
Wei Xuan nodded with a cheerful smile and slightly nodded at Cen Jin as well: "Sorry, I didn’t know earlier..."
"It’s okay." Cen Jin smiled lightly and looked at her as she left before turning back to Lu Xize: "This girl just graduated from school, right?"
"No wonder, look at you charming people left and right, even winking at them. Don’t bully ignorant girls, okay?" Cen Jin and Lu Xize have met so many times already, so joking around now was smooth.
Lu Xize heard this, clicked his tongue, and snorted lightly: "Let me tell you, you owe me. When that little girl first arrived, her eyes were almost glued to Bai Zhou. If it wasn’t for my righteous sacrifice and the spirit of letting go of myself to divert her attention, Bai Zhou’s peach blossoms would have probably turned into peaches already."
If he said this about anyone else, Cen Jin might have believed him, but making such a comparison with Jiang Baizhou, Cen Jin would never buy it. She’s very familiar with Jiang Baizhou’s personality, with that face as cold as an iceberg and the ’No Entry’ sign seemingly written on his forehead, even girls who like him would back off quietly after some time.
Of course, the girls here didn’t include her, after all, they’ve known each other for more than twenty years.
"When you describe yourself as so noble and selfless, do you feel... um... just a little bit of pain? Or uncomfortable in any way?" Cen Jin rolled her eyes subconsciously, lightly waving her hand, looking as if she was racking her brains.
"Tsk! Just a few days without seeing you, Cen Jin, you’ve changed. Has Jiang Baizhou corrupted you? It’s true that being in a relationship makes you different; as the saying goes, you get tinted by those around you." Faced with her merciless teasing and questioning, Lu Xize touched his chest with an appearance of hurt.
Cen Jin didn’t take his words seriously and chuckled: "Young Master Lu, you gotta be responsible when chasing someone!"
"Stop joking, do I look like someone irresponsible?" Lu Xize exaggeratedly opened his arms: "Besides, I never said I was chasing anyone, right? She just graduated and recently started, she might be unfamiliar with many things. You know very well the kind of person your boyfriend is; does he seem like one to proactively teach others? With more mistakes, your boyfriend might just fire that little girl. She just graduated, at least give her more chances, right? So, shouldn’t I take care of her a bit more? Am I wrong?"
"No, truly great." Cen Jin shook her head, with heartfelt admiration.
"Right!" Lu Xize raised an eyebrow, feeling very satisfied with her exaggerated praise: "Alright, my work time is over. Old Jiang might take a while, you can wait here, there’s drinks in the pantry over there if you’re thirsty, and there’s a TV in the waiting area if you’re bored."
"Oh, there’s one thing you need to tell Bai Zhou." Lu Xize stopped and turned around after taking a few steps.
"Hmm?" Cen Jin stopped and turned to look at him.
"He’s too stingy. It’s tough for him to have a relationship, and asking him to treat anyone is like asking for his life. You really need to consider this; don’t go for stingy men." Lu Xize patted her shoulder, offering sincere advice.
"Cough cough..." He had just finished speaking when a cold cough sounded from the stairway.
