Chapter 364 It Won't Happen Again

Lu Boyan took Su Jianan in his arms to the dressing room, and he seemed unwilling to release her.

He gently looked at her in the mirror, saying, "I promise that you will be the happiest bride in the world on our wedding day."

Su Jianan smiled and said, "I can't be happier now!" She then freed herself from his arms and pushed him, saying, "You need to go out before I undress."

Lu Boyan just stood there and said, "I don't mind helping to dress you, let alone undress you."

Su Jianan felt embarrassed, so she pushed and coaxed him out.

She quickly took off the wedding dress, hung it inside the wardrobe, and stroked its fine texture with a smile on her face.

In fact, Lu Boyan was not the only one looking forward to the wedding.

"Have you finished yet?" Lu Boyan's voice arose. After leaving the dressing room, he had been waiting outside it.

"Yes." Su Jianan closed the wardrobe door and went downstairs together with Lu Boyan.

The lunch was ready. It was a real feast; the cook made several dishes according to their tastes. Seeing that, Xiao Yunyun could not wait to enjoy the meal. She even forgot her grudges against Shen Yuechuan and seemed to not mind dining with him.

After the meal, Xiao Yunyun was about to leave, saying that she would go to see a film with her colleague. Knowing Shen Yuechuan would leave at that moment, Su Jianan said, "Yuechuan, could you drive her to the cinema?"

"No…" But before Xiao Yunyun could say any more words, Shen Yuechuan interrupted her with a happy face, and said, "Sure."

Outside the house, Xiao Yunyun looked at Shen Yuechuan with amazement, saying, "Why did you promise her?"

Shen Yuechuan twirled his car keys, turning his lips into a smile. "Because you don't want me to do so."

Xiao Yunyun knew that Shen Yuechuan did that intentionally to anger her. Would she be angry?

That's impossible!

"I dislike you, you know!" Xiao Yunyun waved her hands to Shen Yuechuan, saying, "Be watchful while driving, or you'll fall into the ditch!"

With that, she made a disdainful look and happily walked away.

Even though Shen Yuechuan promised Su Jianan he would drive her, she did not have to go with him.

She could go on foot, which was her No. 11 bus!

Shen Yuechuan leaned against his car door, looking at Xiao Yunyun's back with easiness while shaking his head, thinking, "She's too young and irrational."

10 minutes later, Xiao Yunyun realized she was being too irrational.

She thought that she would not accept the ride, but she had not thought of how she could leave there without a car.

She would have to walk until night, let alone she did not know the way out, and she would miss the film.

And, it was too late to call a taxi.

It was too embarrassing… to call Su Jianan for help.

Xiao Yunyun cried out and sat down by the roadside; she plucked a weed with frustration, rubbing it hard with her hands.

"Beep—"

Hearing the horn, Xiao Yunyun looked back and saw a yellow sports car in front of her with the window rolled down, and Shen Yuechuan's handsome and annoying face burst into her eyes.

Shen Yuechuan whistled and said, "The film will start in an hour and 13 minutes."

Xiao Yunyun clenched her fist and thought, "I should keep my promise. A man among men is he who knows when to eat humble pie and when to hold his head high!"

She opened the door and got in the car, then fastened the seat belt, saying, "Take me to the Qiyuehua Plaza on Daxing Road."

Shen Yuechuan stepped on the accelerator, and with excellent function, the car started running like an arrow coming off its bow.

After 50 minutes, the dazzling yellow sports car stopped at the surface-level parking lot of the Qiyuehua Plaza. The phone in her shoulder-bag rang while Xiao Yunyun was about to get out. It was a call from her colleague who had asked her to see the film.

She answered it with excitement: "I just arrived. Where are you?"

"Yunyun, I'm sorry." There came an apologetic voice saying, "I have an emergency, so I can't go."

Xiao Yunyun did feel disappointed, but she could not force her colleague to come to see her, since she was busy. Xiao Yunyun did not know why that colleague was busy right then, nor could she lose her temper, so she just smiled and said, "Never mind. Get on with what you are doing. See you next time."

With that, Xiao Yunyun looked at the other film ticket, sighing.

To see a film alone with two tickets was a real luxury for her.

Shen Yuechuan looked at the frustrated Xiao Yunyun and asked, "Is your date a no-show?"

"It's not a date. She's just a colleague in my department!" Xiao Yunyun realized the man by her side was not busy at the moment, so she handed a ticket to Shen Yuechuan, saying, "It's yours. Thank you for driving me here."

With that, she opened the door and got out of the car, but found that Shen Yuechuan was behind her when waiting for the lift.

With the ticket sandwiched between his long and lean fingers, Shen Yuechuan said with sly humor, "It may not be smart to have a date with me like this. However, you succeeded." He decided to stay in the cinema with her since he was free that afternoon.

Xiao Yunyun did not expect that Shen Yuechuan would be willing to see a film. She said with disdain while walking into the lift, "Don't you realize that you have a face that's thicker than a wall?" With that, she took a 50 yuan banknote out of her purse and handed it to him, saying, "Give me the ticket."

"…" Shen Yuechuan did not understand what she meant.

"I paid 50 yuan for it. I don't want to sit next to you, so I want to buy it back now." Xiao Yunyun put the money into his coat pocket, and stretched out her hand, saying, "Give it to me."

At that moment, the lift door closed and it started rising.

Shen Yuechuan smiled, thinking, "Should I say that she is naive or foolish?"

He waved the ticket, saying, "It's rude to sell what someone has given you, so I'll see the film. As for you… I wonder if you dare to go to the cinema."

The old-fashioned reverse-psychology strategy worked on Xiao Yunyun.

She snorted and said, "Wait and see."

There was a concession stand outside the lift in the cinema. Xiao Yunyun stood in line to buy two colas and a large bucket of popcorn.

At that time, the cinema manager recognized Shen Yuechuan. He walked over to Shen Yuechuan and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Shen, are you seeing a film with your girlfriend?"

Shen Yuechuan did not answer him or deny his words. The manager looked at the ticket and smiled, saying, "Standard seats are not for you. Let me show you the way and arrange better seats for you."

Xiao Yunyun paid her bill and went up to Shen Yuechuan, who motioned for her to follow the manager. She thought it was his provocation, so she strode behind the manager with the colas and popcorn in her arms.

She did not hesitate to dissect small creatures in class, let alone see a film with Shen Yuechuan.

The film would start in 15 minutes, and the other audience members had not come yet. The manager took them to a balcony, where there were two cozy seats for people to sit in or lie down on, in front of which was a side table. They were 10 times more comfortable than the standard seats.

"Enjoy yourselves."

With that, the manager left the screening room as the other members of the audience had their tickets checked and went to the standard seats.

Xiao Yunyun then realized that where they sat was open but private, thus the people around could not see them.

She thought they were VIP seats, so as she threw some popcorn into her mouth she said, "Should we pay extra money for the upgraded seats?"

Shen Yuechuan pursed his lips and said, "No. The cinema belongs to Lu Boyan."

Xiao Yunyun thought that she would not be able to enjoy all of this if it were not for the manager recognizing Shen Yuechuan. She pushed a cola to him, saying, "It's my treat."

Shen Yuechuan pulled back the handle of the chair and reclined, saying, "Thanks."

After several ads, the film started, to which Xiao Yunyun had been looking forward. She held the popcorn in her arms and gazed at the screen without paying any attention to Shen Yuechuan beside her.

When the film ended and others in the audience left, Xiao Yunyun found that Shen Yuechuan had been sleeping.

She thought, "Should I go right now, or wake him up first?"

Finally, she chose to play a trick on him.

He had not drunk the cola, so she opened the bottle, dunked a straw in it, and dripped the cola on his lips.

Some people would lick whatever flavorsome thing was on their lips while sleeping.

And so did Shen Yuechuan, who pressed his lips together, then the cola on his lips disappeared.

Xiao Yunyun thought it funny and got closer to him, then she dripped more cola on his lips. Sometimes she poked his lips with the straw, and that made him scratch them, then he just frowned and turned over quietly.

She thought, "You're such a pushover when you fall asleep!"

She scrutinized his face and found him kind of good-looking. Although he wasn't as handsome as Lu Boyan, nor as graceful as Su Yicheng, who was from a good family, he was more easy-going than them.

He had a unique heroic spirit, and he was like the college girls' dream lover—a pretty and bright, intelligent and humorous capable man, who would be eye-catching even if among a crowd.

Then Xiao Yunyun got absent-minded, and all of a sudden, she lost control of the straw.

She thought, "Oh my God!" but it was too late to hide, as Shen Yuechuan had already opened his eyes—

He clenched her hands with agility and held her down on the chair, making her unable to move.

He was so quick that she could hardly realize what happened. She vacantly looked into his eagle-like eyes with her heart beating fast.

The man before her was not what he appeared to be.

He was far more brilliant and dignified as well as cold-hearted than he looked.

Shen Yuechuan found it was Xiao Yunyun, then he frowned and asked, "What were you doing?"

"I… I just wanted to wake you up." Realizing their embarrassing postures, Xiao Yunyun struggled and said, "Could you stand up and release me?"

Shen Yuechuan released Xiao Yunyun while coldly staring at her. "Don't touch me if I fall asleep next time."

Xiao Yunyun should thank God that he did not bring a gun with him. Otherwise, he might hold the gun against her head instead of holding her down on the chair.

"Piss off!" Xiao Yunyun rolled her eyes. "What are you thinking about? You being asleep with me alone won't happen again!"

Shen Yuechuan felt something on his lips, so he licked them and it tasted like cola. Then he saw the opened cola can and straw on the side table, and realized what Xiao Yunyun had done.

He smiled full of hidden danger, picked up his coat, and said, "If it won't happen again, it couldn't be better."

With that, he left the screening room.

Xiao Yunyun stared at Shen Yuechuan's back, dazzled, while thinking, "How sexy it was when he licked his lips!"
