Chapter 35: Watching a Movie
Chapter 35: Watching a Movie
"It's fine if you don't want to go. It's perfect because Tongtong and I will be heading out, so we can give you a ride. You can go to the hospital for a checkup and do a full body examination."
Lin Gantang chose to watch the movie.
Watching a movie would take at most two hours, while a full body examination wouldn't take more than an afternoon.
During lunchtime, Mr. Lin treated Wen Yanqing with extra warmth, chatting and laughing with him.
Lin Gantang glanced at Wen Yanqing, realizing that people like him were easy to get along with, especially in the presence of elders.
After the delightful lunch, Mr. Lin was reluctant to let Wen Yanqing leave. He suggested that they rest a while and then take Lin Gantang to the movies at the appropriate time.
Lin Gantang couldn't bear it any longer. She was currently unemployed, but Wen Yanqing was making millions every minute.
"He mentioned that he's here for business, so he probably still has work to do." Lin Gantang reminded her father.
Wen Yanqing sent a message to Yi Qian and then turned off his phone, calmly saying, "I'm on leave today. Nothing urgent."
Mr. Lin chuckled happily.
The movie was scheduled to start at 15:10, so after the rest, they set off early.
As they walked out of the living room, Lin Gantang suddenly remembered something.
"Wait a moment," she said and rushed to her room.
When she came back, she had a white shirt in her hand and handed it to Wen Yanqing. "It's been cleaned. I almost forgot to return it to you."
Arriving at the cinema, there weren't many people around.
Lin Gantang read the synopsis of "Perfect Duplication" in front of the movie poster. Surprisingly, it turned out to be a romance movie.
With such a name, who would have thought it was a romance film? Most likely, it was chosen by Jiang Tongtong.
However, she and Wen Yanqing...watching a romance movie together? What would people think?
Since they were already there, backing out now would likely disappoint Wen Yanqing.
Thinking of her past behavior towards him, Lin Gantang felt guilty. She didn't know what to say anymore.
Together, they entered the cinema. A young woman in a white dress looked their way a few times.
"Brother Gu, isn't that Lin Gantang?" Feng Yangyang pulled at Gu Zhichuan's sleeve.
Gu Zhichuan looked over.
"I don't think I'm mistaken. She stood in front of the poster for a while just now, and I saw her from the side. The person next to her is..." Feng Yangyang had never seen Wen Yanqing, so she couldn't name him. "A handsome man. Is he her boyfriend?"
Lin Gantang had changed her hairstyle, and she was wearing a bright yellow dress, a color she had never worn before.
Although she looked different, Gu Zhichuan quickly recognized her since they had been together for several years.
For some reason, Gu Zhichuan thought of the man who had called him on the phone and said that Lin Gantang was taking a shower last time.
The possessive and assertive aura.
"So, Lin Gantang found a boyfriend so quickly?" Feng Yangyang saw him staring at Lin Gantang's back and bit her pale lips, suggesting, "Lin Gantang is so carefree. She moved on from you so quickly."
Gu Zhichuan's eyes revealed an ambiguous meaning as he took the ticket. "Let's go in."
Coincidentally, they were watching the same movie.
Jiang Tongtong had booked the tickets in advance and chose good seats, while Gu Zhichuan bought them at the cinema, leaving only seats at the back.
The movie hadn't started yet. Although the cinema was dimly lit, they could still see clearly.
Gu Zhichuan unconsciously searched for Lin Gantang's location.
He wasn't in the mood to watch a movie. Today, Feng Yangyang said she wasn't feeling well, so he took her to the hospital for a check-up. When they came back, she said that she hadn't watched a movie in the cinema because she was sick. She looked lonely and a little pleading.
Since the work had already been arranged, Gu Zhichuan felt that it was not too much to fulfill her small wish.
However, he didn't expect to meet Lin Qingtang.
Gu Zhichuan couldn't focus on the movie. He wasn't interested in this type of entertainment.
Halfway through the movie, Gu Zhichuan's gaze shifted toward Lin Gantang. Under the dim light from the screen, he saw her resting her head on the man's shoulder.
