Before Jiang An entered the theater, she wanted to go to the bathroom. Zou Bai stood at the door and saw the snacks and sodas in the hands of the young couples around him. He thought for a moment and went to line up to buy a snack package.

When Jiang An arrived at the entrance of the theater, she chuckled when he saw Zou Bai dressed casually in his daily clothes and carrying his backpack. He was also holding fries and c.o.ke.

Seeing Jiang An’s reaction, Zou Bai felt a little uncomfortable. “What are you laughing at? Don’t you like to eat these?”

Jiang An smiled and shook her head. After a while, she stopped. “When 1 see you usually, I feel like you’re a business elite sitting high in the clouds. Now that I see you holding these things, 1 suddenly feel like I’ve pulled you into the mortal world.”

Hearing Jiang An’s teasing, Zou Bai smiled helplessly. “I can’t sit still with you. Go in.”

Zou Bai chose a light-hearted and funny romance movie. Jiang An kept laughing as she watched it, but Zou Bai didn’t pay attention to what the movie said. He only paid attention to her.

By the time the two finished watching the movie, it was already past five o’clock. It was still a little early for dinner. Moreover, they had just eaten some snacks, so they were not very hungry. Zou Bai suggested, “Why don’t we watch another movie before eating?”

Jiang An was in a hurry to rush home. How could she have free time? “But I’m hungry. It’s not very early at five. Let’s go eat dinner now.”

Zou Bai looked at Jiang An suspiciously. “You didn’t stop eating just now. Are you sure you’re hungry now?”

Jiang An nodded seriously, trying to make her words seem believable. “I’m really hungry. I’m not full from snacks.”

Seeing this, Zou Bai brought Jiang An out of the mall to eat.

In order to prove that she wasn’t lying, Jiang An still ate according to the amount she usually ate.

After dinner, the two of them went to the parking lot to get their car. Jiang An sat in the driver’s seat and casually placed her bag in the front pa.s.senger seat. She said goodbye to Zou Bai. “I’ll go home first. We’ll contact each other when we get home.”

Zou Bai casually glanced at Jiang An’s backpack. “An’an, did you forget to give me something today?”

When Jiang An heard this, she frowned and recalled seriously. After more than ten seconds, she replied, “No, I don’t have anything to give you.”

Zou Bai thought of the gift he had accidentally seen in her bag and probed again, “Are you sure?”

Jiang An was a little confused. Then, she nodded vigorously and said with a smile, “I’m very sure. Are you hinting that 1 should prepare a date gift?”

Zou Bai’s chest felt stuffy when he thought about the gift that was obviously for someone else, but he still had a faint smile on his face. “No, I’m just asking. Alright, you should hurry back. Drive safely.”

Jiang An nodded. “You too. Bye, contact me on WeChat.”

After the two of them said goodbye, Jiang An drove at the maximum speed and sped home.

When they arrived home, it was just past 7:30 pm. Li Mei and Jiang Hai were chatting in the living room. When she saw Jiang An, she smiled and stood up. “Hurry, hurry, hurry. Are you hungry? I specially asked the kitchen to make your favorite pork belly today.”

Thinking of the fatty feeling of the pork belly, Jiang An felt even more full before eating.

Although her stomach was already full, Jiang An had no choice but to pretend to be hungry. “Then I’m too blessed. I’m hungry.”

Li Mei pulled Jiang An to the dining room. “Then eat more later. What gift did you buy today?”

Eat more later?!

When Jiang An heard this, she finally understood what it meant to cry without tears. When she looked at Li Mei, she tried her best to make the smile on her face not look painful. “I bought a crystal vase.”

At night, Jiang An ate according to her usual appet.i.te at home. Hence, Li Mei and Jiang Hai didn’t notice that Jiang An had eaten before.

As soon as she finished eating, Jiang An found an excuse to return to her house.

The moment the building door closed, Jiang An relaxed. She could already feel the food in her throat!

Jiang An supported her swollen and aching stomach with her hand. Enduring the discomfort, she quickly began to walk around the house. She climbed up and down the stairs for more than an hour before she felt more comfortable.

On the other side, Zou Bai was sitting in the study. He glanced at the silent phone and felt a little frustrated.

Looking at the white chess piece made of suet jade in his hand, a hint of anxiety appeared in Zou Bai’s eyes. His fingers exerted a little force and threw the chess piece towards the chess box. The chess piece that was thrown over collided with the few chess pieces in the box and instantly shattered into pieces..
