I felt a small hand patting my back.
Lu Yanli awkwardly pulled away from Yun Lian's embrace.
He stubbornly explained, "I was just unprepared, not really scared."
Yun Lian didn't expose him, and handed him a glass of cola.
"Yes, yes, I know you're not afraid. Have some Coke."
Lu Yanli disliked soda that could corrode teeth, but he felt awkward if he didn't have something in his hand at the moment.
I could only politely accept the gift and say thank you.
Yun Lian watched the terrifying scenes in the movie with great interest, and even laughed out loud when she saw the bloopers.
Her behavior was even more frightening to Lu Yanli.
Who laughs out loud while watching a horror movie?
Lu Yanli's legs were still weak even after he walked out of the movie theater.
Yun Lian helped him walk out.
Her little face was full of smiles all day long.
"Young Master Lu, is it still possible to go home? Do you need this old servant to carry you?"
"Pfft, you were supposed to be quite humorous and witty, but now you seem like a completely different person?"
His words created a subtle tension between the two.
Yun Lian's steps never faltered, gentle yet resolute.
"Actually, I've always been like this, it's just that you didn't understand me before."
She suddenly looked down in disappointment.
Even just looking at his back, he seemed incredibly lonely.
"Actually, we don't really know each other very well."
Lu Yanli's lips curled into a smile, as if he too was affected by her emotions.
"sorry!"
He shouldn't have said something that ruined the mood when the two of them were having the best time.
He had never actively sought to learn about this little canary before.
Yun Lian looked up, her eyes glistening with tears.
"But all that is in the past, isn't it? Now we are getting to know each other again, and I am already very grateful for this opportunity."
Lu Yanli also straightened up.
"Yes, then let's get to know each other better."
Say goodbye properly so you won't have any regrets later.
Lu Yanli offered, "You've already arranged everything for me all day, so how about I take over from now on?"
Yun Lian was overjoyed.
"OK!"
"I'll take you to try a private kitchen I stumbled upon. The food there is absolutely amazing, I'm sure you'll love it."
The two chatted and laughed all the way, and the amount of conversation they had today was more than they had in the five years since they got married.
The private restaurant arranged by Lu Yanli was pretty good, but for Yun Lian, who had already eaten there all day, it wasn't particularly amazing, and she was a little less interested.
The two walked home under the moonlight.
As usual, when everyone was about to return to their rooms to rest, Yun Lian suddenly called out to him.
"Young Master, boyfriends and girlfriends should hug each other and say goodnight before going to bed at night."
Lu Yanli reached out his hand, looking at her wearing cute little yellow duck pajamas.
Goodnight, girlfriend.
"Okay, goodnight, boyfriend."

"She's just my sister..."
The phone rang, and Yun Lian, without even opening her eyes, accurately touched the phone.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Yun Lian, how can you still sleep? Rumors are flying everywhere, and the company keeps trying to contact you but your phone is off. What do you want? If you can't, then get out!"
Yun Lian belatedly realized that the original owner had two cell phones.
One was for business purposes, and the other was for personal use.
"I'm so sorry, I'm just too sad..."
The woman on the other end of the phone, who was ready to argue with her for a long time, was caught off guard by her sudden softening.
They even unconsciously wondered if they had gone too far just now.
"Sad? Uh... Actually, most celebrities encounter rumors from all sides when they become famous. We are innocent and will clear ourselves. You did a great job before, didn't you?"
As long as you cooperate with the company's public relations efforts, apologize, and divert attention in one fell swoop, those who are still fixated on the issue will soon be drawn to something new.
Yun Lian's voice was choked with emotion and trembling with caution.
"Really? Sister Tang, will they really forgive me?"
Having grown accustomed to her usual sharp voice, Tang Mo was caught off guard by her sudden soft and gentle demeanor.
"Of course, after all, who can resist your face?"
She had never seen another celebrity who could kill with her beauty like Yun Lian.
"Thank you, Sister Tang. It's so good to have you by my side."
"No, you're welcome. If you're really upset, don't worry about these outside things. I'll log into your account and help you get back on track. There's a reality show the day after tomorrow, and you'll be participating. The audience will be moved by your authentic self."
"good."
After hanging up with Tang Mo, Yun Lian simply got up and continued browsing Lu Yanli's blog.
After dawdling for a while, Yun Lian suddenly sent a message to Lu Yanli.
[My dear boyfriend, what color is your tie today?]
On the other end of the phone, Lu Yanli glanced down at his tie, replied to her message, and then continued looking at the report data.
Yun Lian stood in front of the dressing mirror, choosing a V-neck purple bodycon fishtail dress for herself, and wearing a top hat.
Like a precious and mysterious countess from the Middle Ages, one would feel honored to be even glanced at by her.
The lunchbox she was carrying looked like a luxury handbag.
When Yun Lian arrived at Lu Yanli's company building dressed like this, she didn't encounter the kind of difficult situation that is often depicted in other novels, where she was harassed by the receptionist. Instead, they politely served her tea and asked her to wait.
Yun Lian took a picture of her legs tilted and sent it to Lu Yanli. In the picture, the purple, wave-like skirt made her calves look even whiter and slimmer.
[Sobbing, I dressed up to see my boyfriend, but I still have to wait in line. I feel so pitiful~]
Lu Yanli replied almost instantly, and before his brain could even process it, his finger pressed the save button on the photo.
