When she heard the comments from the surrounding people, Nian Xiaomu turned and quietly stepped forward so that she could keep an arm’s distance away from Yu Yuehan.

She was afraid that others might see her as a false rival.

“What sister? Look carefully. The one in front of him should be his wife. This family of three is so gorgeous!”

“I don’t think so. Why would a family walk so far apart…”

Nian Xiaomu shook her head to block out the voices from the surroundings. Just when she was about to purchase the tickets, she felt an arm on her shoulder.

His slender fingers rested on her shoulder, but his eyes were on the screen above the ticketing booth. Then, he coolly asked, “What movie do you want to watch?”

“…”

Nian Xiaomu’s focus was completely on her shoulder.

Seeing Yu Yuehan’s hand draped over her shoulder, her eyes widened with shock.

Then, a chorus of shrieks erupted from the women around her.

“Ah! So macho! So handsome!”

“I already said they’re a family of three! A ‘like’ for myself!”

“My heart hurts. It’s true that all hunks are taken. I’m the only singleton left!”

“Jealousy is turning me into another person…”

At this moment in time, Nian Xiaomu could no longer take in anything that the people around her were saying.

Her pretty little face lifted slightly and stared at Yu Yuehan.

Did he not hear what everyone was talking about just now?

They were already being misunderstood, yet he wasn’t keeping a distance from her. Now, he was even doing this…

If stares could kill, she would have been stabbed a million times by the jealous glares from the women around them!

“Yu Yuehan…”

“Do you like art films?” asked Yu Yuehan.

Nian Xiaomu: “…”

Without waiting for her reply, he had already bought three tickets. Then, he pulled her toward the ticket inspection booth.

Nian Xiaomu staggered behind with unsteady steps in order to catch up to Yu Yuehan. When she finally caught her breath, she tugged at the sleeve of his coat.

“Aren’t we here to watch a children’s movie? Xiao Liuliu won’t understand an art film at her age, right?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Yuehan stopped in his tracks and turned toward her.

Raising his eyebrow, he pointed at Xiao Liuliu who was slumped over his shoulder and already half-asleep.

It seemed like she would fall into a deep sleep in less than three minutes.

“Do you think that she can still watch a movie in this state?”

“…” Definitely not.

They had originally planned to accompany Xiao Liuliu to watch a movie, but now that Xiao Liuliu had fallen asleep, shouldn’t they bring her back to sleep?

Just as this thought struck Nian Xiaomu, the man in front of her seemed to read her mind.

His face was calm as he said, “Since we are already here, let’s watch the movie before we go back.”

Then, he made a phone call to the assistant to prepare a pair of earplugs to block out the noise for Xiao Liuliu before turning to Nian Xiaomu.

“Do you want to eat snacks as you watch the movie?”

“… Yes!” Still in a daze, Nian Xiaomu answered instinctively.

Watching a movie would be incomplete without eating snacks!

Turning to the snack stall, Nian Xiaomu walked forward and swiftly ordered popcorn, french fries, and drinks.

After that, she thought of Yu Yuehan and turned around to look at him.

“Do you want some?”

Since he treated her to the movie, she could treat him to some snacks.

Yu Yuehan threw a glance at the items in her hands and raised his brow with disdain.

He was going to say no to her, but when he saw her sparkling eyes, his words strangely turned into, “I’ll try some.”

“Shall I buy you another set?” Nian Xiaomu took out her purse as she asked Yu Yuehan.

The next second, he replied in a low voice, “No need. One set is enough.”

“Alright, we can eat it together. It’s good that I bought a large portion…” Midway through her sentence, Nian Xiaomu suddenly caught herself and wondered what sounded wrong about what she had just said.
