Huo Nanchen thanked the cashier and walked back towards Gu Ruochu, who was still standing at the same spot. "You shouldn't take carbonated drinks. They're not good for your health."

"I'm just having some because we're at the movies," Gu Ruochu replied.

"Hold the popcorn for me." Gu Ruochu put her large popcorn bucket into his hands.

Huo Nanchen's calm expression was replaced by a faint sense of surprise. He looked at the popcorn in his hand and felt as if he was a normal boyfriend taking care of his girlfriend.

He held the popcorn and looked longingly at Gu Ruochu.

When they finally entered the movie theater, Huo Nanchen held her hand and quickly found their seats.

"Don't run around for a while."

"Okay."

The movie was a mystery thriller, and the audience did not dare to leave their seats even to relieve themselves for fear that they would miss out on the plot.

Lu Fang had advised Huo Nanchen to take Gu Ruochu out for a movie and see how she would react. After the movie ended, they left the theater leisurely. Gu Ruochu appeared to be in a good mood.

Her lively and bright eyes were like those of an innocent young girl. She even took the initiative to kiss him as they wandered through the mall.

It was the first time Huo Nanchen had seen her in such good spirits.

Suddenly Huo Nanchen's phone began to ring incessantly. He furrowed his brows and answered the call. "What's the matter?"

As he listened to the call, Huo Nanchen's expression turned unsightly. The lines on his face tensed up, and his jovial disposition disappeared.

"What's wrong?"

When he hung up the phone, and the chill in his eyes deepened. "Ruochu, I'm going to the hospital to check on Cheng Xi. His wound is infected. I'll get Uncle Wang to come and pick you up. Don't run around."

The smile on Gu Ruochu's lips faded when she heard the name, Cheng Xi. Xu Yichen was right. Cheng Xi would always be Ning Tangxi's bargaining chip.

"You want me to wait for Uncle Wang by the side of the street?'' Gu Ruochu stared unblinkingly at him. "If the movie had not ended, would you have let me sit there and watch the movie by myself?"

"Ruochu, Cheng Xi's wound is infected. I have to go." Huo Nanchen furrowed his brows. Gu Ruochu could feel that his impatience was building up.

"You can go." Gu Ruochu took two steps back. She did not take her eyes off him. "I'll be all right."

Huo Nanchen looked at her and knew that she was unhappy. When Cheng Xi's hand healed, he promised himself that he would make it up to her.

"I'll be back soon."

Gu Ruochu reached out and stroked her long hair as she watched him leave. After some time, Uncle Wang arrived. The luxurious car that came to pick Gu Ruochu up attracted everyone's attention in the parking lot.

"Yes. I've just arrived to pick up the Young Madam."

Gu Ruochu got into the car and sat in the back. Uncle Wang held out his phone. "Madam, it's a call from the Young Master."

Gu Ruochu combed her hair and answered, "Uncle Wang picked me up."

"Mmm. I thought you wouldn't pick my calls."

Was that why he had called Uncle Wang?

Gu Ruochu was amused. "You're overthinking things. Many people are staring at us. I'm hanging up. Take care of yourself."

Huo Nanchen was not happy. He had only said one sentence to her, but she had been impatient and had quickly hung up the phone.
