An Ran’s eyes lit up a bit when she heard about the movie. She loved watching movies and used to go with Xiao Xiao often, but she hadn’t had the time lately.
"There’s no need to book the whole theater. I really want to watch ’Great Righteousness’ that you just mentioned. I’ve heard it’s pretty good. The online ratings are high, and I’ve watched the promo. Both the leads are my favorite, especially Wang Han’s period costume look, it’s so handsome."
Talking about her favorite celebrity, An Ran raised her eyebrows lightly, and her big eyes were filled with excitement.
"Second sister-in-law, it’s great that you like ’Great Righteousness’. Do you know? Our fourth brother is actually the CEO of Jiawen Entertainment, the company that made ’Great Righteousness’. And the actors you like are all from their company."
"Really?" An Ran’s eyes sparkled even more.
Now it was finally Sun Wangbei’s turn to feel proud, enjoying her admiring gaze, nodding with pride.
While they chatted enthusiastically, in a quiet corner outside the private room, two tall men with a somewhat cold demeanor stood, making the surrounding temperature drop several degrees. Anyone passing by would pull their clothes tighter and quicken their steps.
"Brother, do you need something?" Mu Xingfeng glanced in the direction of the private room and took the initiative to ask.
"Old second, what’s with that girl?" Gu Haoyu frowned slightly.
Mu Xingfeng raised his eyebrows, not quite understanding what Gu Haoyu meant, "Girlfriend. I thought the third brother would have told you."
Chen Yankun did tell him, but he didn’t believe it at all, "Old second, what about Lin Ruonan?"
"Lin Ruonan? What does this have to do with her?" Mu Xingfeng responded indifferently.
His nonchalant attitude irked Gu Haoyu, and his face darkened, "Old second, you know Lin Ruonan has liked you for nearly twenty years. What you’re doing, how do you think it will make her feel?"
"Brother, her liking me is her business, finding a girlfriend is mine. Does her liking me mean I have to marry her?"
Mu Xingfeng retorted. Over the years, Gu Haoyu had always been the brother he respected, but he never imagined that because of this woman, his brother would interfere with his personal life.
"Old second," Gu Haoyu’s tone had a hint of severity, his first time speaking to Mu Xingfeng this way, only because today’s matter had shocked him too much.
"I know that girl saved you, and her current situation is truly heart-wrenching. But there are many ways to repay a debt of gratitude. Are you sure you’ll be happy betting your entire life on her? You must understand, your life environments, backgrounds are completely different. Your life values and views are different, too. You’re six years older than her..."
"Enough, brother," Mu Xingfeng interrupted Gu Haoyu, "Whether I’m happy or not, I know in my heart." Not wanting to argue any further, Mu Xingfeng turned to head back to the private room.
After taking a step, he paused slightly, half-turning his body, "Brother, while worrying about my happiness, ask yourself first, do you really want me to marry Lin Ruonan?"
With that, he strode back toward the private room.
Gu Haoyu was shaken by Mu Xingfeng’s words.
Indeed, did he really want Mu Xingfeng to marry Lin Ruonan?
The answer was undoubtedly no; if possible, he’d give his all to bring her happiness.
But he knew, her happiness didn’t lie with him. If she knew Mu Xingfeng had fallen for someone else, how heartbroken would she be?
He couldn’t bear to see her hurt, which is why he confronted Mu Xingfeng regardless of their brotherhood.
