The Spoilt Wife's Happy Life With The Commander Chapter 32 Popcorn

"Lin Qing, I heard about what happened when I went to the bathroom that day. I'm really sorry."

Lu Xiao took the initiative to apologize and asked, "But why didn't you come to work since then?"

Even she asked so, Lu Xiao actually knew the reason behind this.

When she came out of the bathroom that day, she happened to see Mu Li carrying Lin Qing in his arms and leaving.

"Well, about that..." Lin Qing thought for a moment. "I couldn't come it here, so I asked for several days off."

When she said this, Lin Qing was very depressed.

Lu Xiao didn't really care about the answer. She put a movie poster in front of Lin Qing and said, "I heard that this movie is very good. We should go watch it together!"

Under Lu Xiao's sincere gaze, Lin Qing just had no excuse to refuse.

"Okay..." she said, somehow feeling that her answer was not the final answer.

Sure enough, after Mu Li came to pick her up from work and heard about this matter when their car was moving past a street, he only said one word.

"No."

"We're just going to watch a movie."

Lin Qing felt as if she had stepped on a landmine.

She was very uneasy and conflicted.

"What did I show you yesterday?"

Mu Li tried to help Lin Qing recall the contract.

Lin Qing racked her brains.

"Sorry, I forgot…"

Mu Li sped up. "Still no."

Lin Qing stuck out her tongue and felt embarra.s.sed. "But… I've already booked the tickets for the movie."

"In that case, I can only put off my business and watch the film with you."

Mu Li made an expression of helplessness.

"Huh?"

Lin Qing obviously did not expect this. "But, I've already made an appointment with Lu Xiao."

Mu Li shrugged. "Cancel that and meet her another day."

Lin Qing nodded. Somehow she thought he had a point.

But—

It seemed that she had booked the tickets in order to watch the film with Lu Xiao!

Lin Qing felt that she had been tricked again.

XX International Cinema was the largest movie theatre in City A. There were more than a hundred alliance cinemas in the country, and the viewing experience here was excellent with the support of five-star equipment.

At this moment, Mu Li and Lin Qing were standing in the theater hall.

Mu Li went to take the tickets, and Lin Qing was right beside him. It was the weekend today, so the hall was packed with people.

"There are so many people. Will there be no seats for the next session?"

Lin Qing was a little worried.

Her worries were actually unneeded; she forgot that the seat and session had been selected at the time of the booking.

Mu Li found it interesting to see Lin Qing's anxious expression and did not remind her. After watching that she waited anxiously for a while, he pretended to ask unintentionally, "Did you select the movie you want to watch?"

Lin Qing recalled and said, "Yes."

Mu Li asked again, "What about the session? Did you select it too?"

Now Lin Qing was very sure and said, "Yes."

Then Mu Li winked at her and led her thoughts on.

However, Lin Qing still scratched her head in worries. "But what if there are too many people ahead of us, and we can't get the tickets?"

Mu Li felt that the questions Lin Qing usually thought about must be very deep.

Ten minutes later.

The Cinema's manager walked over from the crowd.

"Commander Mu, welcome!"

The manager said respectfully.

Mu Li nodded. He had been accustomed to the manager's att.i.tude.

Lin Qing stood at the side and her hand was held by Mu Li. She didn't say anything.

Then the crowd waiting in line gave way one after another, and the manager welcomed the two of them to the VIP area.

Just as the ticket seller was about to speak, he looked at the manager, then shut up and perceptively waited aside.

"Commander Mu, what movie would you like to watch? We will select the best seats for you."

The manager asked politely.

Mu Li didn't know what movie Lin Qing wanted to watch. He raised his head to look at the board that read all the available movies.

Well, these movies…

Mu Li wasn't very interested in them all.

"Lin Qing, what do you want to watch?"

He held Lin Qing's hand a bit more tightly and asked gently.

Lin Qing pointed at one of the movies. "This one."

Mu Li glanced at the t.i.tle, it was "XX Love Story".

It was surely the little girl's favorite type.

Mu Li was not surprised.

So he pointed to the one Lin Qing had chosen and said, "Okay, this one."

His faint tone and deep, slightly s.e.xy voice captured countless women's hearts again.

The manager immediately signaled to the ticket seller.

At the same time, Mu Li suddenly saw a trace of sadness in Lin Qing's eyes.

She bit her lips as if she had encountered something she was extremely unwilling to see.

Lin Qing really wanted to watch the movie using the tickets she bought.

Mu Li had been paying attention to Lin Qing's every move. So he discovered her reaction and, furthermore, he actually understood what she was thinking.

"Wait."

One second before the ticket seller issued the tickets, Mu Li stopped him.

"Commander Mu, is there a problem?"

The manager asked carefully.

"My wife has already booked the tickets. So I'm thinking," Mu Li said as he held Lin Qing into his arms, "we'll use the tickets she booked. There's no need to choose other seats."

Lin Qing was stunned. She was not very sure what she had heard from Mu Li.

Since Mu Li had made his decision, the manager didn't have much to say. He turned to Lin Qing and said, "Okay, Mrs. Mu, please come this way and take the tickets."

Lin Qing looked at Mu Li, who smiled knowingly and walked forward with her.

"The tickets are ready."

Lin Qing held two brand-new tickets in her hand.

"Are you happy?"

Mu Li softly scratched the tip of her nose.

Lin Qing turned her head away with a flushed face and nodded.

After they left, not to mention the ticket seller, even the manager was amazed that Mu Li had such a gentle side.

According to the rumors, he was extremely fierce.

There were quite a lot of people at the entrance of the hall. Probably it was because it was still early and they were not allowed to enter immediately.

They walked over. But Lin Qing lowered her head again.

"What's wrong?"

Mu Li was surprised to see that she was motionless there.

However, Lin Qing only shook her head and didn't say anything.

Mu Li glanced at the tickets in her hand. The time was right.

And he looked around—

Most of the people who came to see the movie were young couples, and most of them were holding a bucket of popcorn in their hands.

Could it be that Lin Qing wanted to have popcorn?

Lin Qing stared at the tips of her feet without saying anything.

Mu Li looked at Lin Qing, finding that she was lowering her head and looked like she was asleep.

Mu Li stretched out his hand to pinch her chin, making her look at him.

Lin Qing stared at Mu Li with a pair of innocent big eyes, her face filled with panic.

"What, what are you doing?"

She asked in surprise.

However, her voice was a bit loud and it made her words sound like she'd been hara.s.sed.

The surrounding people all turned their heads to look at the two of them, and each of them showed a different expression on their faces.

Mu Li couldn't stop them, so he could only casually bring Lin Qing into his arms and smiled indulgently. "Be obedient. What do you want to eat? I'll go with you and buy some."

His eyes were filled with tenderness, making Lin Qing a little stunned.

"Mm, okay..." Lin Qing nodded bluntly and she didn't know why he said that.

Mu Li stroke Lin Qing's hair. "Be a good girl."

Lin Qing felt that her heart was melting.

The popcorn machine in the hall unfortunately broke down, so Mu Li took Lin Qing outside to look for another one.

Fortunately, there was always popcorn near the cinema. They had only been out for a minute when they arrived at another popcorn booth.

"What would you like?"

The seller asked with a smile.

"A share of popcorn."

Mu Li said as he took out his wallet.

"Would you like it small, medium, or large?"

The seller pointed at three different sizes of buckets.

"A large share."

Mu Li said before Lin Qing did.

Lin Qing only opened her mouth. Actually, she wanted to say that a small share was enough.

But Mu Li would never give her a chance to speak.

The seller began to prepare a large share of popcorn skillfully as she occasionally swept her gaze toward Mu Li and Lin Qing.

"Are you two in love?"

The seller handed the popcorn over as she spoke, "I'm so jealous of you. My husband was also extremely enthusiastic when he courted me, but now, alas… Feelings of freshness will be gone if there isn't a little stimulation for a long time."

"She's my..." Mu Li tried to correct the seller about their relations.h.i.+p.

Lin Qing was standing at the side and she suddenly opened her mouth.

"We're not lovers."

She said seriously and calmly.

The seller had always been very accurate in judging people's relations.h.i.+p, but now being corrected by Lin Qing in the face, she was a little embarra.s.sed and smiled. She comforted herself that everyone would guess wrongly sometimes. Then, she made it up for her mistake and wished them a pleasant time.

Lin Qing took the popcorn and was about to return to the entrance.

At this time, Mu Li's gloomy voice sounded behind her, "Lin Qing."

Lin Qing stopped and turned to look at him. "Yes?"

"What did you just say?"

Mu Li's face was extremely gloomy.

Obviously, he was a little angry.

In fact, it was more like a helpless annoyance than anger.

Just a moment ago, Lin Qing had actually denied their relations.h.i.+p in front of others. This made Mu Li extremely angry.

He grabbed onto Lin Qing's wrist with strength.

Lin Qing thought for a moment and said, "I said we are not lovers."

"Was that wrong?"

Mu Li asked coldly, "Then what is the relation between us?"

Lin Qing answered softly, "Since we're married, we shouldn't be called lovers, right?"

Lin Qing wasn't sure either, so she ended with a slight rhetorical question.

Mu Li's expression recovered a little. Perhaps even he himself didn't notice the change in his expression. It was only when Lin Qing denied their relations.h.i.+p that he felt annoyed and angry.

Probably, this was another example of Lin Qing's logic that was different from ordinary people's.

Holding the bucket of popcorn, Lin Qing took a step closer to him. Because her hands were occupied and couldn't move, she could only say dryly, "Don't be angry. I want to rub your eyebrows once you get angry."

Mu Li stopped and looked at Lin Qing, then he took the popcorn bucket from her hands.

Then he bent over to her and said, "Here, give me a rub."

Lin Qing looked around timidly around them where people kept coming and going. So she pushed Mu Li carefully.

"There are so many people around."

She took back the popcorn embarra.s.sedly. She picked up one and put it into her mouth with her head down, so as to get over the shock before she slipped away.

Mu Li stood there and looked at Lin Qing's back. Her shy look was really cute.

By the time they reached the entrance again, all the people who were lining up had entered the hall. And right at that moment, the broadcast reminded that the movie they selected was about to begin.

Mu Li wanted to hold Lin Qing's hands, but he unexpectedly touched the popcorn bucket, so he could only make a fist out of his hand and then take it back.

"Follow me closely, do you know that?"

He ordered.

Lin Qing nodded solemnly.

After finding Hall 8, Mu Li walked ahead to look for the seats. While Lin Qing carefully held the popcorn bucket and followed behind him. She did not dare to take more steps than him, nor did she dare to lag behind.

Because the movie was about to begin, the movie hall was all dark except for the screen.

Actually, Lin Qing was a little afraid of the dark.

When Lu Xiao mentioned watching a movie, Lin Qing did not think of this situation. But just now when she was outside the hall and heard the screening sound coming from the next hall, she suddenly remembered this point.

However, it was too late to regret it.

When Mu Li sat down and waited for Lin Qing to take her seat, he turned around to find that Lin Qing had disappeared.

"Lin Qing?"

Mu Li called out in a low voice, but no one answered.

Just at this moment, then, there was a m.u.f.fled sound coming from the corridor beside him. It seemed a pet.i.te figure swayed and then fell to the ground.
