Chapter 3, Confrontation with the Young Master

Locking onto the target, exchanging smiles, a simple "hi" makes my words truly gentle, pleasant, and indescribably wonderful

My face immediately fell

I forced myself to act familiar, maintaining a steadfast and resilient smile, and greeted him saying: "Hi, Ning Xuan!"

... ...

Ning Xuan let out a small snort, remaining silent

I am furious! With the wisdom of a distinguished university student, soon to become a people's teacher, how can I allow a mere young brat to trample on me so casually

However, I still forced myself to remain calm. In the two seats beside me sat Ning Xuan and his cousin. To my surprise, she bought the same ticket as I did. How could I allow someone who has seen me make a fool of myself once to have the chance to see it again

A blockbuster has recently been released, receiving good reviews, strong box office performance, and featuring excellent actors, making me drool in my dreams at the thought of going to see it. But who should I go with? I want to ask Xiaoxiao, but she has been frantically searching for a job lately, and I cannot hinder her ambition. I think of Zhuohao, but he is so busy that he is overwhelmed. However, going to see it alone feels rather sad.

... ...

Just as I was about to pull my hair out in frustration, I suddenly felt a twitch in the corner of my eye and was pleasantly surprised to discover a rather familiar figure standing not far from me.

I hate Xiao Xiao

I smiled faintly and explained to Ning Xuan: "He... runs a company, it's his family's business, and he is quite busy!"

Ning Xuan had a strange expression, with one corner of his mouth raised as he said to me: "Your boyfriend is doing quite well, with love interests blooming everywhere, you must be having a hard time!" His lopsided expression truly made me feel that he was being sarcastic. His sense of revenge is really strong; no matter what I said about him, he immediately seized the opportunity to retaliate without any hesitation.

... ...

The girl smiled slightly and said, "He is my cousin!"

Seeing me in a predicament, Ning Xuan seemed quite pleased. Suddenly, she raised her chin and asked me, "Is he your boyfriend?" I turned around and saw Zhuo Hao had just finished his call and was walking back. When he reached my side, he curiously asked, "How did the line get to this point?" I smiled and quickly replied, "I ran into a friend who is helping us get tickets, so it can be faster!" He nodded and smiled at Ning Xuan, thanked her, and then, responding to my subtle hint, went to the nearby supermarket to buy me popcorn.

He smiled and, instead of answering, asked back: "What about you? Are you with your boyfriend?"

Where did he learn such nonsense from

I have no idea what the movie is about. Sitting there alone, I want to leave but fear being seen as tragic; I want to stay yet know I will be absent-minded. I chew on popcorn as if it were wax, while silently muttering: Can't the money in our household just come into our pockets without the head of the household having to toil for it!

Ning Xuan looked at me for a long time without saying a word, and finally let out a grunt through his nose: "Dull and foolish!"

I raised my chin and asked him, "How old are you?" He did not answer but instead countered with, "What about you, how old are you?" I let out a cold laugh and replied, "I must be older than you! I have already graduated from university!" He raised an eyebrow and left me with a statement that plunged me into endless sadness: "So what if you are older than me? Waking up early does not necessarily mean being healthy."

Just because of the words he said, "The company is our own family," I immediately became unconditionally docile and virtuous to an extreme degree

Later, I thought for half a day before I understood that he was saying I ... ... let it go. ... ... ... the chair was jolted violently ...

The beautiful face, akin to a blooming hibiscus, raised an eyebrow and curled her lips in a mocking expression, instantly coming to life with vividness

However, I do not know why, recently Zhuo Hao has been extremely busy. Whenever I call him, he is always meeting with countless clients. I reluctantly complained to him: "You are the head of the company, why do you have to be so diligent and responsible, making yourself like a public relations officer, attending to every client?" He replied with a single sentence that left me speechless. He said: "Ya Ya, this company is our own. We are working for ourselves, is there still room for laziness?"

Cut! The ancient representative is the most ambiguous species, don't you know

As I turned my head, I was surprised to discover that I was not the only one in the cinema not watching the movie. Ning Xuan, with his light beauty, was leaning against the back of the chair, sleeping so sweetly and innocently.

After twenty minutes of hard work, it all vanished into thin air

Xiao Xiao had a pained expression: "My wish in this life is very simple. I do not hope to possess a magnificent steed like your man’s; I only wish to occasionally sit and indulge in my whims. But alas, this small wish of mine is trampled upon by the heavens! It completely disregards the dignity of a good car by insulting it with a pile of junk! Can this world be any more tragic?"

I spit! ... If it weren't for Zhuo Hao already walking back, I would strive to maintain the image of an artistic young woman, and I would definitely ... definitely have to retort to him with "It's you"!

I regard her as if she were invisible. As I was about to get into the car, Xiao Xiao stood outside and asked me: "Are you coming back to stay tonight?" I shook my head and replied: "I won't be back! I will return tomorrow morning to see you off!"

Xiao Xiao reluctantly let out an "oh," her face filled with discomfort as she said to Zhuo Hao, "Well, thank you for your hard work, and please take good care of Su Ya!" I couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "Xiao Xiao, nanny, don't worry! I'll come to show my filial piety to you first thing tomorrow morning, so don't be sad!" I turned to Zhuo Hao to say we were setting off, only to see that he also appeared somewhat uneasy.

I laugh: "I am a master specializing in cutting peach blossom branches. Whoever dares to invade will be taken down on the spot!"

When I dressed up beautifully and walked out, I couldn't help but wonder when I had become so submissive. Zhuo Hao was busy, so I quietly stayed at home. It was only when he agreed to go out with me that I stepped out of the house. This way of mine is truly lacking in self-identity.

This kid is quite the show-off

... ...

I hold a deep disdain for my inability to bear witness to others' happiness, yet I find myself powerless to control the progression of this affliction. I deliberately rise slightly, then forcefully sit back down, immediately leaning heavily against the chair's backrest. The tightly connected chairs promptly transmit the disturbance I have created to the light beauty man.

What does it mean

Then I heard him say: "What movie do you want to watch?"

He twitched the corner of his mouth and said directly: "You want to cut in line here?"

... ... ... Alright, I admit that I was deliberately showing off ...

As soon as Zhuo Hao and I sat down, I only had time to pop two kernels of the enticing popcorn into my mouth when his relentless calls came in again. After a few stammered words, he hung up the phone and looked at me with a face full of apology

I did not expect Zhuo Hao to agree so readily. I was somewhat overjoyed.

He smiled faintly and said, "No cutting in line is allowed here"

I nodded busily. I did not forget to always maintain a smile

... ...

Heaven is like a stepmother. No, it is more like a stepfather

I simply bypassed him and said to the girl: "Your boyfriend is doing quite well, with a flourishing romantic life; you have worked hard!"

I am overwhelmed with emotion

I: "... ...?" Why did he ask that?

Well, I am a well-educated and refined young lady, I am a graceful and poised flower of understanding, I am an artistic young woman with a heart as pure as a fragrant orchid. Therefore, without waiting for him to speak, I took the initiative to say: "If you are busy, then please go ahead! Business is important!" After all, that is money from "our" family

I quickly smiled again and handed him the money: "* * * *, two pieces, thank you!"

My smile immediately faded. It's over, it's over; the good impression has completely evaporated. A year's hard work was all to create a beautiful image of "I am an artistic young woman" in front of Zhuo Hao. I never expected that on the very last day before graduation, Xiao Xiao would ruin it for me!

On the evening of the second day, Zhuo Hao drove his flashy sedan to the school to pick me up ... those countless rags of wealth.

No, that is just an act put on by literary young women. I do not want to be the passive one. I want to be the active one! I want to be the strong and assertive one!

He also blames his charming and dashing demeanor

... ...

I: "Uh?"

I can't help but gossip: "Are you taking your girlfriend to watch a movie?"

Turning my head back, I saw Ning Xuan's almost pitying, infuriatingly smug face, and I couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness. I have actually fallen to the point of being pitied by this flirtatious little brat

He has created a situation for me that is like a world of ice and fire!

At that moment, I suddenly realized that the girl, who was like a little bird beside him, was not the same light beauty from before

After much agonizing contemplation, I finally steeled myself and decided to reach out to my golden turtle

As the car drove away, I couldn't help but laugh and said to Zhuo Hao: "Look at the awkward expressions on your faces, you and Xiao Xiao look as if you don't know each other at all!"

He said casually: "Let me know what movie you want to see, and I will get the tickets for you."

The handsome man suddenly opened his eyes. Once he had almost regained his clarity from the chaos, he tilted his head and asked me seriously: "Have you eaten sweet potatoes?"

After graduation, I spent my summer vacation at home, idly wasting time. Life has not given me any opportunity for worries; in September, I will smoothly start working, and in another year, I might marry my golden son-in-law. A year after that, I will have my golden baby. Everything about the future seems so beautiful

While waiting in line to buy tickets, Zhuo Hao received a phone call. Finding it noisy, he took the call to a corner, and I continued to wait in line. The ticket counter next to us had been empty, but suddenly, out of nowhere, a person appeared and began selling tickets. The line of people instantly became chaotic, as everyone rushed frantically towards that ticket counter

Zhuo Hao raised his hand and patted the top of my head, saying: "Little girl, you've been exposed! I always thought of you as a literary young woman; but the momentum you had when speaking to Xiao Xiao just now was, I must say, quite fierce!"

Zhuo Haoru kissed me on the face as if he were relieved, then stood up and exited. Watching his figure as he hurriedly left, I suddenly felt a sense of desolation as if I had been abandoned, and I was compelled to rise with all my strength to chase after him.

I looked at the chaotic situation, and without a second thought, I directly stepped in to contribute to the even greater chaos. Following the crowd, I pushed and squeezed, jumped and bounced, but somehow I found myself utterly powerless, completely blocked by layer upon layer of what seemed to be an endless human wall. I wanted to return to the position I had just occupied, but when I turned my head to look, I couldn't help but burst into tears. Where was there any place left for me to stand!

Thinking of my golden son-in-law, I feel a bit resentful. Recently, I had planned to take advantage of the holiday to spend some quality time with him, to deepen our feelings and create some intimate moments. If by chance I won the lottery, it would be just right to gently coerce him into marrying me immediately.
