Gu Yun Ting felt parched from watching. He fumbled with his tie, tugging it left and right. The tie loosened, and he unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt, finally feeling more comfortable.
The screen still showed the ongoing scene. Just as Ye Wan wished she could disappear into a crack in the floor, a large hand grasped hers. Gu Yun Ting stood up, pulling Ye Wan with him, and dragged her outside.
Ye Wan had no choice but to follow, also heaving a sigh of relief. At least she wouldn't have to endure that torture any longer. Who on earth had filmed such a terrible movie?
Outside the cinema, their car was already waiting. Gu Yun Ting pulled Ye Wan into the car. Just as Ye Wan thought the ordeal was finally over and they could go home, Gu Yun Ting pulled her close and kissed her.
The driver and bodyguards automatically alighted to stand guard. Only after the car stopped shaking did they get back in, and the vehicle drove away from the cinema.
As Ye Wan blinked, a bead of sweat fell from her lashes. She felt sticky and uncomfortable all over. Sitting on the floor, leaning against a nearby seat to rest, her cheeks were flushed, and her hair was damp halfway, giving her a fragile beauty.
Glancing down at the used items thrown on the floor, her face turned even redder. Several unopened ones were scattered on the car seat. Ye Wan found it hard to believe that he had actually bought contraception and used it himself.
Gu Yun Ting picked her up from the floor and had her sit on his lap. "Sleep if you're tired. Don't force yourself," he said.
Ye Wan quickly closed her eyes. She was very tired but not sleepy. Mostly, she didn't know how to face him, so she could only close her eyes and pretend to be asleep. But after less than two minutes, she truly fell asleep.
Gu Yun Ting lowered his head, looking at her flushed little face. He kissed her forehead tenderly. When his eyes looked out the window, they were deep and boundless. He found himself increasingly unwilling to part with her. Even if he didn't want to admit it, he knew he had fallen for this little thing. Although, he wasn't sure if he liked her body or her person more.
Regardless, if he wanted to keep her by his side, he needed to make more thorough arrangements.
...
As the movie ended, Jiang Yan told Ning Xin she needed to use the restroom. Chu Yu put his arm around Jin Lan's shoulder and said, "Uncle, please don't be angry. You'll know later that Jiang Yan is definitely a good girl."
"How is your body doing? Take care of yourself. If anything happens to you, your parents wouldn't be able to live," Jin Lan said, pushing his nephew's hand away somewhat irritably, though he was still very concerned.
"I know," Chu Yu said, smiling even more happily. He knew his uncle loved him the most.
"Uncle, when are you going to find me an aunt? I think Yan Yan's classmate is quite good. Then the two of them can keep each other company."
"Just take care of yourself," Jin Lan said, not wanting to discuss the topic further. Chu Yu stuck out his tongue, not daring to say more.
Jiang Yan and Ning Xin returned together. Chu Yu suggested, "Let's all have dinner together."
"I'm not hungry yet. I want to go home first," Jiang Yan said, completely unwilling to have dinner with Jin Lan, her entire being radiating resistance.
"Ye Wan has already gone home. Miss Ning, please allow me to treat you to a meal as thanks for inviting me to the movie," Jin Lan said, looking at Ning Xin with a gentlemanly air.
Ning Xin's heart fluttered. She had thought Jin Lan's consistently indifferent attitude meant he wasn't interested in her. Could it be that he was still interested?
"Okay," Ning Xin happily agreed.
Jiang Yan immediately pulled Chu Yu away. "Let's not be a third wheel! See you tomorrow, Ning Xin."
Chu Yu also waved goodbye to them before being pulled away by Jiang Yan.
Jin Lan and Ning Xin went for their meal.
