Lin Qianyu said, How would he know all this? What do I need him for? Alright, stop being stubborn, Jin Nian. This is work. Dont cause trouble for me, and dont make things difficult with money, okay?

The call was disconnected before she had a chance to react, and Jin Nian angrily tossed her phone onto the sofa.

Who called you and made you this angry? Lu An asked.

Jin Nians expression was downcast. My boss. Theres a little issue at work.

If youre not happy with this job, have you considered quitting?

Thats not possible. Im not a child anymore. 1 cant just resign like that. Besides, how can you be happy at work?

What about changing jobs?

Ive thought about it, but there arent any suitable opportunities right now.

Lu An promptly pulled Jin Nian up, not allowing her to continue with her makeup, and led her out the door. When were on a date, dont think about work.

Jin Nian couldnt fully explain the situation to Lu An. After all, it involved Jiang Qingchi, and she was afraid that Lu An would feel uneasy after hearing about it. Forget it, she would take it one step at a time. Just like Lin Qianyu said, it was just a job.

Ultimately, the two of them decided to go watch a movie. However, Jin Nian had high standards for movies. The plots of domestically produced films were often melodramatic, and she didnt want to waste her time. Most of the movies showing in theaters were disappointments. In short, there wasnt a single movie she wanted to watch.

In that case, lets consider other options.

Holding Jin Nians hand, Lu An led her into the screening room, which he had reserved in advance. The auditorium had almost 300 seats, but at that moment, only the two of them occupied it.

As the lights dimmed, they settled in the middle of the theater, the best spot for viewing.

Jin Nian had never experienced such a scene before. She looked around curiously and found that there truly was no one else present.

The screen gradually illuminated, revealing a highly popular Disney animated film, Zootopia.

Excitedly, Jin Nian grasped Lu Ans hand. Are you a mind reader? How did you know I wanted to watch an animated film?

Lu An smiled and held her hand in response. I took a guess.

In truth, Jin Nian and Lu An had watched this animated film several years ago. That year, during a trip abroad, they had finished drinking coffee on the streets of Edinburgh and then watched this movie. However, they had watched the English version, and the dialogue in the film was spoken quickly, causing Jin Nian to miss some parts.

Lu An whispered translations into her ear, word by word. Jin Nian had completely forgotten the storyline of the animated film. She only recalled the deep and low voice that resonated in her ear at that time. It felt like a feather gently brus.h.i.+ng against her earlobe, creating a tingling and ticklish sensation.

Engrossed in listening to his voice, she caught only fragments of the plot. Now, watching the movie again with Chinese dubbing, evoked a completely different feeling.

Jin Nian attentively watched the big screen, and when she saw Nick the fox saying to Judy, You knew that you love me. a strange warmth tugged at her heart.

She was easily moved, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Unusually, Lu An didnt tease her this time. Instead, he pulled her into an embrace and gently patted her shoulder.

By the time the movie ended, it was quite late. Jin Nian walked out of the theater and immediately let out a yawn, declaring her intention to go home and sleep.

Lu An didnt miss the opportunity to banter. If youre so weak, how are you going to live your married life in the future?

Jin Nian was so embarra.s.sed that she lowered her head and bit his hand, rolling her eyes at him.

Though she wanted to head home, a trip to the supermarket was in order first. They were running low on groceries, and they needed to buy ingredients for dinner.

It had been a while since Jin Nian had strolled through a supermarket, so she excitedly followed behind Lu An, filling their shopping cart with items that caught her eye.

She had picked up a lot of vegetables and meat, and a lot of daily necessities.

On the surface, Lu An looked down on Jin Nians small house, but he was secretly planning on making himself comfortable there. He had no choice but to cater to this young girl. Otherwise, he would have to endure her morning tantrums whenever she didnt get enough sleep.

With their shopping complete, Lu An led Jin Nian to a specific aisle.

Initially, Jin Nian had approached the shelves with enthusiasm, looking at items labeled threads, lubricants, and hyaluronic acid.

As she realized what these products were for, she shot Lu An an irritated glare. Why did you bring me here?!

And what did you think? Lu Ans gaze was candid and unfiltered. Do you see me as a monk?

Had there been such items at home last night, he wouldnt have had to take care of matters by himself in the bathroom.

Then take your time.

Jin Nian knew there was no escaping this situation, but she couldnt possibly approach the situation as calmly as Lu An did. Instead, she turned on her heels and walked away..
