Chapter 404: She Would Stand No Chance

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In her previous life, Gu Zi had spent all her time studying and earning money, leading a life devoid of warmth and human connection. Whenever she had free time, she would simply rest at home, never even considering going to the cinema.

One day, she had the sudden urge to watch a movie, only to realize that her friends had all moved on with their lives. Some were married, others had children. They had all grown up and no one was available to accompany her to the cinema anymore.

This realization deflated Gu Zi^t s spirits. She thought about going alone but the idea of being surrounded by young couples, becoming an unwanted third wheel, was unappealing. Thus, she dismissed the idea entirely.

Now, Su Shen had invited her to watch a movie. Gu Zi couldn’t hide her joy and agreed with a bright smile, “Shall we head to the city right away?” Her voice held a touch of girlish innocence and anticipation, instantly stirring Su Shen’s usually somber heart.

Su Shen was delighted. Seeing her so eager to go to the movies with him, he picked up their daughter and replied, “Yes, we’ll go straight there.”

After instructing some key workers at the pig farm, Su Shen got into the car with his wife and daughter and drove towards the city.

As they neared the city’s cinema, Gu Zi woke up. Su Shen went to collect the tickets while Gu Zi sat on a nearby stone bench, cradling their daughter as she waited for him.

In the queue, Su Shen’s tall and outstanding figure stood out among the crowd. His suit trousers paired with a white shirt, the shirt hinting at the masculine muscles beneath, were a sight that was hard to look away from.

Among those waiting in line for tickets was another striking figure. He had already collected his tickets and was about to enter the cinema with his colleagues when he spotted a beautiful figure on the stone bench. He recognized her instantly. Wasn’t that Gu Zi?

MO Li was about to call out to Gong Zhan but followed his gaze to the stone bench where Gu Zi sat holding a child. Wearing a similar style shirt, Gu Zi looked even more dazzling and charming than herself. Gu Zi’s radiant face could be described as stunningly beautiful. At that moment, MO Li felt a surge of uncontrollable jealousy.

Thankfully, Lin Miao, the fool, had interfered first, giving her an opportunity.

Pretending not to have noticed Gu Zi, MO Li asked Gong Zhan, “Mr. Gong, we’re about to go in. Did you forget to bring something?”

Gong Zhan’s gaze withdrew from Gu Zi, his heart reminding him once again. Gu Zi, carrying another man’s child, was already another man’s wife. He should not pay her too much attention. Moreover, if it weren’t for her, he would not have become the laughingstock of the courtyard. The matter with Lin Miao still held no hope of redemption.

He said, “It’s nothing, let’s go in.” With that, he cast a cold glance at Gu Zi and MO Li before entering.

As his cold gaze swept over them, Gu Zi happened to look up at them. It was a bit ominous, but fortunately, there was no need for interaction. She did not want to expend the energy. Today was her first time going to the movies with Su Shen, a day worth thoroughly enjoying.

After watching them enter for a while, Su Shen also came over with the tickets, which immediately put her at ease.

Su Shen held Gu Zi close to him, as if afraid others wouldn’t know she was his wife. He entered the cinema as if declaring his sovereignty. Fortunately, they did not encounter Gong Zhan again.

Gu Zi did not want to make a fuss. Su Shen chose a movie with an old-time setting. He whispered halfway through, “I heard people your age like this kind of movie, so I chose this one.”

Gu Zi nodded, “It’s indeed good, I like it.” The two did not say anything else during the movie.

Su Shen was actually just focusing on the movie, but most of the time, his gaze was on Gu Zi. Seeing her so engrossed, Su Shen felt that his decision was a good one, making her happy.

The little girl sitting on Su Shen’s lap was also very well-behaved, quiet, not crying or making a fuss. She was completely captivated by the images on the screen, sometimes even giggling. When Gu Zi came out of the cinema and took the little girl from Su Shen’s arms, she felt even more love for her.

People with compatible magnetic fields do not tire of each other’s company. Instead, they grow more in sync. This was the case with Gu Zi and Su Shen, and with Su Le as well.

“Do you have any place in mind you’d like to visit?” Su Shen saw that it was still early and wanted to accompany his wife for a stroll. He knew she loved shopping, and he particularly enjoyed the feeling of paying for her..
