Gu Chi rubbed his forehead that was dizzy from the collision. It took him a long time to regain his senses. The 'Chuan' character between his eyebrows gradually melted away. Looking at the direction where the girl disappeared, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a meaningful smile.
His Iron Head Technique was pretty good.
Ye Huanyan comforted Chris for a long time and quietly listened to Chris pour out all the bitterness of raising Ling Li for so many years. Only then did Chris's mood improve.
It turned out that whether it was Chinese or foreigners, open education or traditional education, adolescent girls and menopausal mothers were mortal enemies. This was a very common occurrence.
"Let's go back and eat. Everyone's waiting."
Ye Huanyan persuaded.
Chris nodded and was about to follow Ye Huanyan out when she suddenly remembered something. "Hey, I think I just cried and ruined my makeup. Let me touch it up. You go first."
Ye Huanyan laughed.
Foreign women liked to maintain a delicate image at all times. This was indeed different from her.
After returning to the dining room, they waited for a while before Ling Zhan came back.
"What took you so long?" Ling Han asked casually.
"I went to the restroom. Gu Chi was changing in my room, so I went to the restroom in the backyard. How's my mother?"
"She's fine."
Ye Huanyan smiled. "It's just a mother and daughter quarreling. What can happen?"
When Ye Huanyan was explaining to Ling Zhan, she saw a shadow at the door. It seemed that she saw Ling Li running over. The way she ran was a little strange. She covered her face with her hands. It was as strange as it could be.
She was stunned. Since there were so many people present, she did not chase after her to ask.
After lunch, Ye Huanyan booked the entire theater in the city center to watch a movie. She also invited Su Nianhua and his family to watch the movie. Zeng Rou was holding Jingjing's hand. She was wearing a small floral cotton-padded jacket, a bunny ear hat, and a white scarf around her neck. She looked very cute.
After sweetly calling Ye Huanyan 'Auntie Yan Yan', Ye Huanyan gave her a red packet. Jingjing looked back at Zeng Rou. After Zeng Rou nodded, she thanked her and accepted the red packet.
"Jingjing is so good."
Ye Huanyan rubbed Jingjing's little hat. "Can you sit with Naonnao's seat?"
Jingjing raised her head to look at Zeng Rou.
"Go ahead." Zeng Rou nodded.
When Ye Huanyan saw this, she felt a little helpless.
After the children sat together, Ye Huanyan looked up at Zeng Rou. "I haven't seen you in a long time. I've been telling Lu Shen that I hope we can get together."
Zeng Rou smiled distantly. "You're busy. Although I'm a housewife, I still have to take care of the children. It's better for my husband to attend gatherings."
For so many years, Zeng Rou was used to calling Su Nianhua 'Brother Hua'. Now that she suddenly changed the way she called him and called him so intimately, Ye Huanyan was stunned.
In the end, she still couldn't get over it.
Well, she didn't insist. She smiled and said, "Then I'll leave this row for you, your wife, and the children. I'll sit behind with Ling Han."
Zeng Rou thanked her. Her tone was still polite and distant.
After they were seated, the theater staff turned off the lights. The movie started to play the commercial.
Zeng Rou leaned close to Su Nianhua's shoulder and lowered her voice.
"My attitude just now didn't embarrass you, did it?"
A trace of helplessness appeared in Su Nianhua's eyes. He smiled and squeezed her hand. "Let's watch the movie."
Zeng Rou pouted and said unhappily, "Why do you have the same expression as Ye Huanyan? No wonder she's your first love. The chemistry between the two of you is giving me goosebumps. I'm angry. "
"If you were really angry, you wouldn't be talking to me now."
"Don't push your luck," Zeng Rou snorted. "I'm not here to watch this movie for her. I'm here for you. I didn't say that I wanted to shake hands with her."
"If you don't want to, then don't. No one can force you."
Zeng Rou found that no matter how she threw a tantrum, Su Nianhua would just go along with her. He knew that she was amenable to persuasion but not coercion. Therefore, no matter how unreasonable she was to quarrel with him, he would always be calm and collected.
Instead, she couldn't keep up the act. It was like punching cotton and wasting her energy.
Ye Huanyan moved to the back row. A while after the movie started, Ling Han arrived with Wen Yi and Gu Heng.
Ye Huanyan waved at him and motioned for him to come to the back row.
"Where did you guys go? Why are you so late?"
Ling Han was sweating. "Nothing much? I accompanied Mom to the nearby shopping mall for a while and was delayed for a while. "
"Why did you go shopping with my mom? Did you pay for it? "
Ye Huanyan frowned. Without waiting for Ling Han's reply, she turned around and questioned Wen Yi, who had just sat down in the back row. "Mom, isn't it enough that you asked my dad to go shopping with you? Why do you have to have a retinue around you?"
Wen Yi had just sat down and before she could even warm up, she was already scolded by her daughter. She was stunned.
"Why would I have a retinue around me? It's all because of you, you brat …"
"Because of me?"
"You …"
Wen Yi gritted her teeth and thought for a long time. She seemed to be weighing the pros and cons. In the end, she swallowed the second half of her sentence and glanced at her from the corner of her eyes.
"I bought two new pieces of jewelry for you. Look at how bare your neck is when you go out. People will laugh at me. The daughter of a jewelry designer doesn't even have a piece of jewelry."
Ye Huanyan pursed her lips. "It's not like you don't know that I don't like to wear jewelry."
Wen Yi glanced at her meaningfully and said faintly,
"Some jewelry is not a matter of whether you want to wear it or not …"
Ye Huanyan's mind was on the movie, so she did not have the time to analyze the meaning behind Wen Yi's words. Now that the commercial was over and the movie had started, she quickly turned around and tugged at Ling Han beside her.
"Although you've watched it once, you're not allowed to fall asleep."
In this world, most men watched romance movies the same way as women watched sci-fi movies. They sat with their partner, hugged popcorn, waited for the movie to start, and then slept until it was over.
Ling Han nodded absent-mindedly. The dim lights of the cinema successfully concealed his perfunctory expression at the moment.
In the huge cinema hall, there were three children sitting in the middle row. On both sides were Su Nianhua, his wife, and Ling Xue. In the row behind them were Ye Huanyan, his wife, and Ling Dongyu, and Wen Yi and Gu Heng. Next to Wen Yi were Gu Min and Ling Li, as well as Gu Chi, who was invited by Ye Huanyan.
"Why do I feel so cold?" Gu Min shrugged. Hugging a big box of popcorn, she looked at Ling Li on her left and then at Gu Chi on her right. A strange feeling arose spontaneously.
The expressions of these two people seemed to have switched. Ling Li revealed a face that was as cold as ice, and Gu Chi was even more uncharacteristically smiling so hard that his molars were about to fall out.
What the hell? Gu Min frowned fiercely.
A group of people with ulterior motives silently read each other's minds in the dim cinema.
