The couple rarely had the time to hang out like this.
After a simple dinner, Dongfang Liuyun dragged Qi Lei around the shopping mall. After a while, their hands were filled with bags. When they brought them back to the car, it was almost time, so they drove to the cinema.
It was when a new blockbuster was showing, so the cinema was full.
The couple sat at the back.
When they sat down, the movie began.
In fact, it was a wonderful feeling. Qi Lei rarely came to the cinema with women. From what he recalls, it was only Dongfang Liuyun who had dragged him here a few times.
Dongfang Liuyun was someone who knew how to have fun. Ever since Qi Lei got together with her, his life became much richer than before. At least, he did not need to think about what he would do when he was free every day.
Dongfang Liuyun would usually arrange everything.
Although they were husband and wife, when the passionate sex scenes came up, Qi Lei still felt a little…
He subconsciously turned to look at her.
She looked calmly at the screen in front of her. A few young couples beside her were a little embarrassed…
Dongfang Liuyun seemed to have noticed Qi Lei’s gaze. She slowly turned to look at him. When she met his deep gaze, she smiled softly. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly stretched out her slender arm and hugged his shoulders, moving closer—
“At that time, we were still young. When the class went to the movies, every time such scenes appeared, our class monitor would shout ‘not suitable for children’, then everyone would raise their hands to cover their eyes, but when I observed them, the gaps between their fingers were all open. Especially for boys, so…”
“I’m not embarrassed.”
Qi Lei was stunned for a moment before he quickly explained.
“I wasn’t saying that you’re embarrassed?”
Dongfang Liuyun glanced at him with amusement. The smile on her face was dazzling. Qi Lei glanced at her and knew that she was digging a hole for him again. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt a softness on his slightly cold lips, before he could enjoy it, she had already retreated.
He looked at her for a long time before he suddenly smiled.
It was good that he was happy. Dongfang Liuyun took in his smile and felt a strange softness in her heart.
“If I hadn’t heard about your romantic affairs before, I would have really thought that you were a pure angel at this moment. You’re clearly a quiet and beautiful man, but why did you live so foolishly before this? Have you never met a goddess of salvation like me?”
Dongfang Liuyun lowered her voice and said.
“I am a quiet and beautiful man, but are you a goddess of salvation?” He replied seriously.
Dongfang liuyun laughed softly, “If not?”
“A goddess of salvation is not like you.”
“Then, what do you think the goddess of salvation should look like?”
“An angel-like face and a devil-like figure. Definitely not like you… Tsk—”
Before he could finish his sentence, he felt an intense pain in his thigh. He did not doubt her power of the mighty finger at all!
“You’ve finally spoken your mind. No wonder I find that you haven’t been very interested in me recently. Could it be that this is the reason?”
“Am I? Am I not interested in you?”
Qi Lei looked at her in surprise, his dark eyes dancing with a meaningful spark.
Dongfang Liuyun narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at him.
“No…”
“Every time when we’re almost done, you’ll ask me if I want to be a queen, but these few days, you… mmm—”
Before Dongfang Liuyun could finish, Qi Lei had already reached out to cover her mouth. He looked around and only heaved a sigh of relief when he did not see anyone noticing them.
In comparison, Dongfang Liuyun was much calmer. She had a calm look on her face.
On the other hand, Qi Lei’s shy look made Dongfang Liuyun laugh unkindly—
“You know what? I like it when you’re like this.”
“You’re quite good at acting. I didn’t see you being so bold back then. I didn’t see you successfully counterattack even when you played the queen.”
Qi Lei had a look of disdain on his face. Then, he turned away and could not help but laugh.
Dongfang Liuyun frowned. She could not be bothered to look at him. She might as well watch the movie…
The night was very cold. Under the clear night sky, a crescent moon hung high up in the sky.
Xi Xiaye pressed the button to open the thick glass door. When it opened, a refreshing night breeze sneaked in. She leisurely walked towards the rooftop, and sure enough, she saw the man leaning against the railing.
“What are you thinking about?”
A faint voice rang out, and then Mu Yuchen felt a faint warmth on his shoulder. When he looked over, he realized that there was an extra coat on his shoulder.
“Are the children asleep?”
Mu Yuchen’s low voice rang out as he pulled her into his embrace.
Xi Xiaye obediently leaned against his chest and nodded gently. She looked up at him. “What’s wrong? You seem to have something on your mind. Is it because of grandfather’s matter?”
“Grandfather isn’t doing very well. I thought he’d be better a few days ago, but you saw it when I went back tonight. He’s in low spirits. I was wondering if I should ask Ah Mo and Lingshi to make a trip home.”
Mu Yuchen said softly. The hand around her waist tightened slightly, almost squeezing her entire body into his chest.
Xi Xiaye was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, she reached out to hug him too, “Don’t think too much. I don’t think it’s that bad. How about this? I’ll make arrangements for the company tomorrow and bring Xiao Cheng back to the old residence to accompany Grandfather. I know you’ve been busy with the company recently. Just go back to the old residence tonight. As for Xiao Rui and Wei’er, they have to go to school. I’ll get my parents to pick them up and let them stay at the Shen residence for a while, okay?”
Mu Yuchen patted her head and nodded. “You always have such a tacit understanding that it makes my heart ache. I’m… I’m afraid that I don’t give you enough…”
Xi Xiaye sniffled and shook her head. She blinked her clear eyes and looked up at him quietly. “No, you’ve already given me everything. Right now, I just want to protect you properly.”
“I should be the one saying this.”
Mu Yuchen did not think much of it.
“Mr. Mu?”
She called out to him softly.
“Mmm?”
He answered as well.
“Qi Lei seems to want to take Wei’er back, but I didn’t agree. I don’t know if I did the right or wrong thing.”
“I know how you feel. Letting him face Wei’er all day isn’t necessarily a good thing. There are some things that Qi Lei isn’t that open to. It won’t be easy for him and Dongfang Liuyun to come to fruition.”
When Xi Xiaye heard this, she could not help but sigh in her heart…
