Chapter 784: Watching A Movie-
Translator: Lordbluefire
Chu Tianye’s plan to open a nursing home had spread among the family members.
However, it had nothing to do with Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen, who were currently on their honeymoon.
They seemed to have forgotten about their family back home.
After watching the aurora in the Arctic, they returned to their home country but didn’t go back to the capital. Instead, they found a beautiful place in the South, bought a house and settled down.
After all, Chu Cichen’s health had not fully recovered, and he still needed rest. If the two of them returned to the capital, Chu Cichen’s personality would inevitably make him unable to resist the urge to manage the company.
Matriarch Chu approved their seclusion here.
On this day, the two woke up early to exercise, following an elderly person’s routine.
After having breakfast, Shen Ruojing picked up a fishing rod, preparing to go fishing with Chu Cichen.
Shen Ruojing called out to Chu Cichen and went out ahead, waiting for him at the door. Suddenly, a young man from the neighboring house approached when he saw her alone.
“Miss Shen, you’re alone?” he said, coming closer.
Shen Ruojing was about to say they were two people, but before she could speak, he continued, “Miss Shen, your boyfriend doesn’t deserve you. He’s young but lives the life of an elderly person, always fishing, running, doing Tai Chi. It’s not like he’s a young person at all. Your dates must be so boring, right? Have you ever considered finding a new boyfriend?”
Shen Ruojing lowered her gaze and replied, “He’s my husband, and it seems like 1 can’t change that.”
The young man immediately said, “Why not get a divorce? Someone as beautiful as you won’t have any trouble finding someone else. Miss Shen, to be honest, I’ve never seen anyone more beautiful than you…”
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a chilling presence. He turned his head and saw Chu Cichen with a dark expression, standing at the door and staring at him.
The young man was startled and coughed, taking a couple of steps back with an awkward smile. He gestured to Shen Ruojing and said, “Miss Shen, think about what 1 said, okay?”
He then hurriedly left.
Shen Ruojing turned around and looked at Chu Cichen’s dark face. She couldn’t help but smile and said, “He was just joking.”
They lived in a small courtyard, and the young man next door had a good character. When they first moved in, he was very helpful with anything they needed. However, he had a bit of a loose tongue and often joked around with the young girls.
What he said just now might not have been sincere but rather teasing Shen Ruojing.
However, Chu Cichen was not pleased. He looked at the fishing rod in his hand and suddenly said, “Let’s not go fishing today.”
“Then what should we do?”
“A date.”
Shen Ruojing put down the fishing rod and calmly looked at him. “Oh, what do you want to do?”
This sentence puzzled Chu Cichen. As a domineering CEO, he really didn’t know what people did on dates. But he swallowed his pride and took out his phone, sending a message to Lu Cheng, [What do people do on dates?]
Lu Cheng responded with a voice message, laughter evident in his voice. “Boss, why are you asking this? Hahaha, are you planning to go on a date with Jingye?”
Chu Cichen hung up the phone.
The coldness flashed in his eyes, it seems when he was not in the capital, the monkey dared to claim to be the king!
This guy doesn’t even have the basic awe for him anymore!
Chu Cichen’s face was dark, and he received a message on his phone. How could Lu Cheng dare to provoke him for real? He quickly sent a message to make up for it, [There are many things we can do on a date, like holding hands to watch a movie, going out to eat, or shopping…]
Shen Ruojing was also looking at her phone and smiled as she asked, “What should we do?”
Chu Cichen put away his phone and pretended to be calm. “Let’s do the usual, watch a movie first, then have a meal, and then go shopping.”
After saying that, he rubbed his temple. “Isn’t our private cinema at home better? I don’t understand why we have to go out to watch a movie on a date…”
Shen Ruojing,”…”
Although Chu Cichen made a couple of complaints, he still left with Shen Ruojing.
The two of them found a movie theater.
Shen Ruojing asked, “Which one should we watch?”
Chu Cichen’s gaze swept across the movies currently showing, such as “Speed,” “Paddington Comes,” “The Martian,” and so on, until it landed on one called “The Wife Who Disappeared.”
This movie looks like a deep and tragic love story, right?
Just as Chu Cichen was thinking this, he saw Shen Ruojing also pointing at the same movie and saying, “Let’s watch this one.”
Chu Cichen curved his lips. “Why this one?”
“I think it’s a bit like you,” Shen Ruojing spoke up. “Six years ago, weren’t you the husband who disappeared?”
Chu Cichen immediately smiled. “Yes, you’re right, 1 am the husband who disappeared indeed.”
He emphasized the word “husband” and caused Shen Ruojing’s face to blush slightly.
Shen Ruojing took out her phone and was about to buy tickets but was stopped by Chu Cichen.
He bought the tickets.
Then they heard the voices of a young couple behind them.
The girl nudged the boy and said, “Look, other guys buy the tickets. Only you insist on making me buy them!”
Chu Cichen raised his chin slightly, feeling very proud. He even glanced at Shen Ruojing, his eyes expressing the meaning of wanting her to praise him.
Shen Ruojing curved her lips and felt that some of Chu Cichen’s gestures were really childish and adorable.
Just as Chu Cichen was reveling in his triumph, he heard the boy speak, “What do you know? It means that guy doesn’t even contribute his salary! My money is all with you. How can I afford to buy tickets?”
The girl immediately laughed, “That’s true. But that man is so handsome and doesn’t seem mature. Unlike you, the devoted and responsible husband.”
After saying these words, the newlywed couple happily bought their tickets and entered the theater.
Chu Cichen,”???”
His face turned dark.
(You can show affection if you want, but why do I have to be innocently targeted?!)
Chu Cichen looked at Shen Ruojing and nodded, “Salary contribution?”
“Let it go,” Shen Ruojing spoke up. “After you contribute your salary, I still have to manage the business for you. No need.”
They had too much liquid capital. For both of them, it was just a number.
Shen Ruojing can’t even spend all the money in her account, so what would be the point if Chu Cichen gave her the money in his account?
Besides, in the future, their three children will inherit their respective family businesses, and if their finances are mixed together, it will be inconvenient to separate them later.
Chu Cichen also understood this reasoning and felt somewhat dissatisfied. He sighed silently, “So we can’t be as intimate as other couples.”
Shen Ruojing didn’t say anything.
Chu Cichen looked at the movie and then spoke, “But it’s okay. This movie seems tailor-made for us. It’s definitely about how a husband searches for his wife after she disappears, just like how you searched for me back then… When we watch it, we’ll feel more immersed.”
“Exactly!”
Shen Ruojing replied like that, and then she and Chu Cichen entered the movie theater..
