Although Tangning already made the suggestion, Su Youran still did not do as told. She was actually more concerned about Nangong Quan's feelings.
No, to be exact, she had subconsciously started to care about Nangong Quan's feelings. Hence, she continued to pick up Little Eggshell and the twins separately.
After living in the Nangong Family Home for a few days, she barely had the chance to see Nangong Quan because he was relatively busy.
Since he had only returned to Beijing not long ago, he didn't have the foundation that Mo Ting had. So, he was required to handle all matters personally. Besides, he now had someone to take care of Little Eggshell for him, so he had more time to focus on his work.
This made Su Youran a little uncertain about their relationship; perhaps Nangong had really acted on impulse that day and didn't mean what he said.
But, that night, just as she was heading back to her bedroom, she ran into Nangong Quan on the stairs just as he returned home.
As their eyes met, Su Youran gave a gentle smile as she continued towards her room. However, Nangong Quan called her back, "Do you have some time tomorrow night?"
"Huh?"
"Would you like to go catch a film together?" Nangong Quan asked in seriousness.
Su Youran was stunned for a second before she nodded her head, "OK...let's meet outside the theater at 9pm."
Since they had to keep it a secret from Little Eggshell and Mother Su, they naturally had to leave the house separately. So, Nangong Quan nodded his head and returned to his room.
They were watching a film together...
Nangong Quan made Su Youran a little confused and frustrated. That man had agreed to treat her like a blind date, but after that day, he was consistently busy and didn't really pay much attention to her, yet he was now inviting her to the theater. Was this a man's trick? Was he playing hard-to-get?
Regardless of what he thought, Su Youran still decided to dress up a little. She put on a little black dress and even attempted to wear heels. Although it was a little difficult to walk, she still arrived at the theater, right on time. Nangong Quan had arrived early and was already waiting for her.
When he saw the way she dressed up, he didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he was more used to seeing her in T-shirts and jeans; they made her look more fresh and cheerful.
"From now on, you can be casual. It's not necessary to dress like this..."
Su Youran nodded her head, "OK." She also disliked dressing like that.
"Let's go inside..."
After speaking, Nangong Quan stretched out his hand towards Su Youran.
Originally, he had the option of booking a private VIP screening and watching the film with just Su Youran, but, he had a feeling that Su Youran enjoyed getting to know each other like normal people.
So, even though he was at risk of being recognized, he still insisted on taking Su Youran to the public theater.
At that time, a black car pulled up outside the theater. Inside the car sat a 67-year-old man with a head of white hair. As he watched Nangong Quan and Su Youran disappear into the theater, he complained, "Useless trash."
There was revenge to seek, yet he was wasting his time on flirting and dating!
"Sir, we need to leave."
"Let's go then," the old man instructed the driver as he stomped his walking stick on the floor. "Help me investigate this woman's background later..."
"Yes."
"My grandson's grown up now and forgotten how the Nangong Family fell apart..."
