"Hello, boss." A staff member greeted Wang Simeng with a smile.

"Okay, could you please open my private room for me, and also get some snacks and drinks?" Wang Simeng nodded with a smile.

Mo Beichen sat on a chair in the cinema lobby and selected the movie he wanted to watch.

"Boss, the private room you requested has been opened, and snacks and drinks are ready. Please follow me."

The staff led Wang Simeng to her private room, and after opening the door, they brought out snacks and drinks before leaving.

Wang Simeng glanced at the private room and then turned to call Mo Beichen.

Have you made your choice?

"Okay, this one will do." With that, Mo Beichen pointed to a video.

"Yeah, that's good. I haven't seen it either," Wang Simeng said with a smile.

There are simply too many modern period dramas out there, so Wang Simeng didn't check them all. Instead, she handed over all the ancient films to Chu Tiansan, who was in charge of the third-floor cinema, and asked him to screen them, making sure none of the ones that were too revealing were shown.

Wang Simeng took the movie catalog and told Mo Beichen to go to the private room to eat something first, while she went to find a staff member and told him which movie she wanted to play.

Inside the private room, the movie started playing. The two people sat in a double chair, with various snacks and drinks laid out on the coffee table between them.

The movie is an ancient romance drama.

The story begins with the female lead saving the male lead while gathering herbs in the mountains. The two fall in love and decide to be together. However, the female lead later discovers that the male lead is the son of a wealthy and powerful family.

The story revolves around a family that has already chosen a future wife for the male protagonist. After overcoming numerous obstacles, the two finally find happiness together.

Wang Simeng watched for a while, then found it boring, but still forced herself to watch with Mo Beichen. Eventually, she drifted off to sleep without realizing it.

Mo Beichen noticed that Wang Simeng hadn't eaten any snacks for a while, and when he turned around, he found that Wang Simeng had already fallen asleep.

Wang Simeng tilted her head slightly to one side, her long hair at her temples obscuring half of her face. Her fair skin made her beauty stand out even more.

Mo Beichen reached out and brushed the long hair that was covering Wang Simeng's face aside, revealing her delicate features.

Wang Simeng's eyelashes are long, curled, and curly, like butterflies about to take flight. Her nose is high and straight, and her cherry-like lips are slightly parted, like rose petals waiting to be picked, making one want to kiss her.

Mo Beichen was struggling internally, on one hand admonishing himself not to do such a beastly thing.

On one hand, he couldn't help but move closer, slowly bringing his lips to Wang Simeng's. Just as Mo Beichen's lips were about to touch Wang Simeng's delicate lips, he paused.

Reason prevailed over emotion.

Mo Beichen and Wang Simeng were so close that he could hear Wang Simeng's breathing. His heart was pounding violently, as if it were about to burst out of his chest.

"No, absolutely not!"

Mo Beichen's reason told him that he needed to stay away from Wang Simeng and that he had to restrain his desires.

Mo Beichen slowly leaned back in his seat and exhaled deeply, calming his inner desires somewhat.

"Mmm...it smells so good." Wang Simeng mumbled in her sleep, then smacked her lips as she finished speaking.

Mo Beichen was lost in his thoughts when he suddenly heard Wang Simeng's voice in his ear.

Wang Simeng's voice was soft and gentle, with a kind of magic that made Mo Beichen want to get closer to her.

When Mo Beichen heard Wang Simeng's sleep-talking, he couldn't help but chuckle. "So cute." He then reached out and stroked her hair.

"Hmm..." Wang Simeng mumbled sleepily and went back to sleep.

Wang Simeng was still asleep when the movie ended.

Mo Beichen looked at Wang Simeng's adorable sleeping face, reached out and touched her smooth and delicate skin, his eyes filled with tender love.

"Hmm...no..." Wang Simeng seemed to sense something and murmured softly.

"Oh... okay, I won't bother you anymore." Mo Beichen said softly upon hearing Wang Simeng's voice.

He withdrew his hand, sat back down, and quietly waited for Wang Simeng to wake up.

Mo Beichen remained seated, waiting for Wang Simeng to wake up, but after a long time, Wang Simeng still did not wake up.

Mo Beichen glanced at Wang Simeng and then calculated the time; it was already You Shi (5-7 PM), which was a little after 6 PM.

Mo Beichen decided that it would be more appropriate to wake Wang Simeng up.

So he gently patted Wang Simeng. "Simeng, Simeng, wake up..."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Wang Simeng rubbed her sleepy eyes. She opened them and saw Mo Beichen smiling at her.

Suddenly I realized I was watching a movie, not at home.

Startled, he stood up abruptly.

Mo Beichen was startled by Wang Simeng's movement and quickly stood up to support her, asking, "Simeng, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

"Oh no, I actually fell asleep during the movie. My goodness!" Wang Simeng smacked her head in frustration.

When Mo Beichen saw Wang Simeng tapping his head, he quickly reached out to stop her, then smiled.

"Simeng, are you hungry? Let's go eat! What would you like to eat?"

"Huh? What time is it now?" My stomach rumbled.

Wang Simeng's face flushed slightly with embarrassment.

"It's already past 5 PM."

"Huh? It's so late? Why didn't you wake me up?" Wang Simeng looked at Mo Beichen with a resentful expression.

"Haha, who knew you could sleep so much?" Mo Beichen said with a laugh.

"So you're just going to keep waiting like an idiot?"

Mo Beichen didn't speak. He just smiled.

Seeing Mo Beichen's smile, Wang Simeng shook her head helplessly. Yet, a strange softness welled up inside her.

"Let's go eat!"

"Let's go."

After dinner, Mo Beichen and Wang Simeng arrived at the gate of Wang Simeng's residence by carriage.

Wang Simeng initially said she didn't need Mo Beichen to take her home, but Mo Beichen insisted on doing so, saying it was getting dark and Wang Simeng was too beautiful, making her vulnerable to danger alone.

"Si Meng, thank you for watching the movie with me today."

Hearing Mo Beichen thank her for watching the movie with him, she thought about how she had fallen asleep during the movie. What did she mean by "accompanying" him? He had watched the whole movie by himself anyway.

Wang Simeng was so embarrassed that she wished she could dig out a luxury villa with her bare hands.

"Ah, haha, you're welcome. Well... I'll go in and rest first. Good night!" Wang Simeng waved to Mo Beichen, turned around, quickly got off the carriage, and returned to the courtyard.

When Mo Beichen saw Wang Simeng running back in such a hurry, he felt an urge to laugh for some reason. It seemed that Wang Simeng's resistance to him was getting weaker and weaker.

"What should I do? Should I speed things up?" Mo Beichen muttered to himself.

"She's so outstanding and wonderful, what if someone else snatches her away before her?"
