To confirm her answer, she looked up at Nangong Ci. "You want to eat?" Nangong Ci nodded.

Ye Ling'er was momentarily stunned.

Isn't this a little girl's favorite?

Why is Nangong Ci interested too? Ye Ling'er picked up the popcorn bucket and handed it to Nangong Ci, "Here, for you."

Nangong Ci glanced at the popcorn bucket but did not take it.

His eyes darkened as he looked at Ye Ling'er and repeated, "You feed me."

Ye Ling'er, "..."

Does it not have hands or something? It's such a big person, why does it still need to be fed?

Besides, it's against all the rules for a young woman to feed a man who can't eat.

Isn't this something only young couples do?

Previously, when she was studying abroad, her friends were like this.

Suddenly, Ye Ling'er realized something. Could it be that he...?

impossible!

He calls himself by his awful nickname all the time, and they've only known each other for a few days since they grew up, how could he possibly like her?

She must be overthinking it.

But when she looked up, she saw Nangong Ci staring at her. She didn't say anything to refuse, and instead, as if possessed, she fed him popcorn.

When her hand touched those soft, slightly warm lips, she snapped back to reality as if struck by lightning, her face flushing with embarrassment.

Good heavens, what has she done!

She wished a crack would appear out of thin air in the ground so she could crawl into it.

She was too ashamed to face anyone.

Nangong Ci's feelings, however, were completely different.

He was in a very good mood.

Her hands are so soft; I wonder what it feels like to bite them.

In this atmosphere between the two, the movie began.

The pitiful scream at the beginning startled Ye Ling'er. She screamed again, her mind went blank, and she buried her head in Nangong Ci's arms without thinking.

Upon seeing this, Nangong Ci's smile widened.

Indeed, horror movies are a good thing.

Nangong Ci reached out and patted Ye Ling'er on the back. "It's okay, it's just fake."

At this moment, Ye Ling'er realized that her reaction was a bit too extreme, and sat up straight, feeling embarrassed.

Ye Ling'er noticed the disapproving looks she was getting from the people around her, and nodded slightly in embarrassment.

Nangong Ci said, "I'm sorry, she's a bit timid. Please forgive her."

Since everyone had paid to see the movie, they didn't want to dwell on the matter, so they all turned their attention back to the film.

This kind of thing happens throughout most of the movie; it occurs whenever there's a scary scene.

In the end, it was only when Ye Ling'er ran away embarrassed that the matter was resolved, and Nangong Ci, seeing this, specially booked the entire movie to apologize.

The crowd then calmed down.

Outside the door, Ye Ling'er looked rather pale. When Nangong Ci came out, he saw Ye Ling'er, who was still in shock.

I suddenly realized that I might have been misled.

Although the result was similar to what he wanted, he really didn't know that Ye Ling'er would be so afraid.

I couldn't help but blame myself for my recklessness.

I feel sorry for Ye Ling'er.

Nangong Ci walked up to her. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you would be so scared." Otherwise, he would never have done this.

He believed that even without this incident, he would still win the heart of the beauty.

Things online are not reliable.

This is absolutely misleading and corrupting!

When he got back, he had someone give the website that gave him the idea to him. It's garbage!

After coming out, Ye Ling'er calmed down and shook her head, saying, "It's not your fault. I promised you, and I didn't tell you that I'm afraid of watching horror movies."

In Ye Ling'er's view, this matter was indeed her fault.

She had promised Nangong Ci that she would take him to the movies, but she hadn't told him that she was afraid of horror movies.

Especially in horror movies, the combined effect of sound effects and environment amplifies the sense of terror many times over.

Looking at Ye Ling'er in front of him, Nangong Ci couldn't help but feel his heart flutter.

What an understanding and silly girl.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you back,” Nangong Ci said.

He had originally planned to take her out for some fun after the event, but that idea was no longer feasible.

Ye Ling'er nodded, "Okay."

At that moment, she truly had no other thoughts on her mind.

She just wanted to go back and rest.

...

At Huangfu's company.

"President, something terrible has happened. Ye Corporation has suddenly terminated all cooperation between us." The secretary rushed into Huangfu Ming's office.

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Ming stopped what he was doing, his brows furrowing instantly. "What's going on?"

The secretary said, "I just received a message from Assistant Lin. I specifically asked several people in charge of liaising with the Ye family, and confirmed that the Ye family has suspended all cooperation between us."

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Ming did not speak immediately, but picked up his phone anxiously and made a call.

The secretary was quite puzzled by Huangfu Ming's actions.

But there was no reason to say anything.

As soon as the call connected, Huangfu Ming eagerly asked, "Mom, is Xin'er home?"

Dangzuo, who was in the living room, glanced at the stairwell and said, "Yes, Xin'er hasn't come downstairs all day."

Hearing this, Huangfu Ming breathed a sigh of relief. "Mom, make sure Xin'er doesn't go out. I won't be going back today; I have something to do at the company."

He then hung up the phone.

Upon receiving news that Huangfu Xin'er was safe, Huangfu Ming assumed that none of this had anything to do with her, and thus instructed his secretary.

"Activate the emergency plan first, and wait for my instructions on the rest."

The secretary hurried off to get to work.

Huangfu Ming picked up his phone, thought for a long time, and then dialed Ye Mohan's number.

But after calling several times, no one answered.

He gave a wry smile.

He immediately put down his phone and dialed his secretary's number on the landline, saying, "Convene an emergency shareholders' meeting."

...

Meanwhile, at the Huangfu family villa.

As soon as Fang Yun hung up the phone, she saw a group of men in black rush in, looking menacing and quite frightening.

Fang Yun panicked immediately, and the servants hid as well.

Seeing the person walk straight upstairs, she panicked but forced herself to stand up.

"Who are you? This is the Huangfu family home. Be careful, or I'll sue you for trespassing!"

The man in black ignored Fang Yun's threats.

Before long, the man in black escorted Huangfu Xin'er downstairs.

"What are you doing! Let me go!" Huangfu Xin'er struggled.

The man in black remained unmoved.

Upon seeing this, Fang Yun immediately forgot her fear and tried to rush forward to rescue her daughter. "What are you doing? You've broken into my home and kidnapped my daughter! What you're doing is illegal! I want..."

The man in black shoved Fang Yun aside and left with Huangfu Xin'er.

As the saying goes, it comes quickly and goes quickly.

After everyone left, the servants dared to come out and help Fang Yun up. "Madam, are you alright?"

Those people were really too fierce!

They simply couldn't get out; their lives were more important than their jobs.

Fang Yun then realized what was happening and hurriedly took out her phone to make a trembling call.
