Wife, please behave yourself.

Chapter 137 I’m going too
Liu Songyan bought tickets for the 7 p.m. show on Saturday.

I booked this time slot because I thought I could have a meal after watching the two-hour movie.

Hearing Wen Yunwei's question, he hurriedly answered.

"Around six o'clock in the afternoon, my dad will come to pick you up then."

"Ok."

"Since there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Liu Songyan, who was sitting at the dining table, stood up, said goodbye to Wen Yunwei in front of him, and walked towards the door.

She saw him off at the door and watched him go downstairs and leave before closing the open security door again.

Looking at the closed security door in front of her, Wen Yunwei slowly turned around with some confusion.

He walked into the room, looking at the movie ticket in his hand.

She wasn't puzzled because she didn't like watching movies; she just felt that since her junior had his own phone number, why go through the trouble of having his child bring movie tickets?

However, this doubt did not last long, and she quickly put it out of her mind because she couldn't figure out the reason.

She returned to the dining table and looked at her daughter, who had been silent ever since Liu Songyan left.

Perhaps sensing something was off about her child, she, who had been happy about her junior's invitation to the movies, asked Shen Ruzhi with some concern.

"Zhizhi... what's wrong with you today?"

"Mom, I'm fine."

In response, Shen Ruzhi, who had been looking down, raised her head again, stood up from her seat, and smiled in a seemingly relaxed manner.

She gazed at her mother, who was looking at her with concern on her face.

"I'll wash my face first, and then go back to my room to study."

"Don't overwork yourself... You've been studying too hard lately, you need to take care of your health."

"understood."

With a smile, Shen Ruzhi turned and walked towards the bathroom.

The smile on her face vanished completely after the bathroom door closed.

I walked to the sink and turned on the faucet.

He cupped his hands and splashed the water on his face, then gently wiped it off with his hands after several times.

I lifted my face and looked in the mirror.

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Shen Ruzhi realized that she didn't look happy.

I took a deep breath and tried to force a smile.

After making sure there were no mistakes, he dried his wet face and left the bathroom to return to his room.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw my mother in front of the full-length mirror in the living room.

While she was washing her face in the bathroom, Wen Yunwei had already returned to her room and was choosing an outfit to wear to the movie tomorrow.

He held up the clothes in front of him, seemed dissatisfied, and quickly put them down, then picked up another piece and held it up in front of him.

One after another.

Wen Yunwei seemed a little conflicted. She had served as the fashion consultant for the TV series "The Temptation of Going Home" and had styled many suitable outfits for the female lead in the series.

But now that it's her turn, she seems a little insecure as she puts together one outfit after another, appearing quite conflicted.

Perhaps it was the intense gaze of her daughter behind her that made Wen Yunwei pause in front of the mirror.

Holding the clothes, he looked behind him in confusion.

Seeing the way her daughter was observing her, she asked as if she were curious.

"What's wrong? Looking at me like that..."

"Mom, are you looking forward to tomorrow?"

"You mean, to open a movie theater?"

Hearing her daughter's question, Wen Yun smiled and replied.

"Of course I'm looking forward to it! It's been so long since I've been to the movies."

"..."

Shen Ruzhi saw her mother's happy response, but she knew very well that this was not the reason for her mother's happiness.

Although Wen Yunwei kept saying that Liu Changcun was her junior and that he took good care of her family.

However, Shen Ruzhi, as the daughter, could clearly perceive it.

When my mother was with Uncle Liu, she did not simply interact with him as his former senior from school.

Since leaving the film crew, my mother has had a stable job.

But it was precisely after she got a job that she mentioned Liu Changcun more and more often at home.

Even though the two of them had no contact in their lives anymore, she would always mention him when she chatted with him.

No matter what the topic is, it always ends up talking about Liu Changcun.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, Shen Ruzhi could clearly see that her mother had a much stronger affection for Uncle Liu than the average person.

Although she wasn't sure how far this affection had gone, she knew that if things continued like this, it would eventually turn into something she didn't want to see.

Shen Ruzhi slowly shifted her gaze away from her mother and left with a single sentence.

"I'm going back to the house first."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards his bedroom.

Only after the room door closed did Wen Yunwei, who had been watching intently, finally look away.

She didn't notice anything unusual, after all, Shen Ruzhi had been studying very diligently since returning home in the past few days.

Having grown accustomed to this, she didn't have many doubts. She simply looked at the full-length mirror in front of her and took out the clothes again to hold them up to her body.

Everything was carefully coordinated, from beginning to end.

Inside the closed bedroom door.

Shen Ruzhi leaned against the door.

Looking at his room, he slowly squatted down.

Although it might be unfair to her expectant mother, Shen Ruzhi now places all her hopes on Liu Changcun.

She hoped that when Liu Songyan returned home, he would be firmly refused by Uncle Liu after presenting another movie ticket.

She wasn't looking forward to her parents' schedule tomorrow.

They also do not want the relationship between their parents to progress any further.

------------

"came back."

As soon as Liu Songyan opened the door after arriving home, he heard his father's voice.

As Liu Changcun walked up to her, her gaze swept over the figure who was blow-drying her sister's hair.

He was already used to An Zhaoran's presence.

She didn't pay much attention, but simply refocused her gaze on her father.

"Why are you back so late today?"

"I took Shen Ruzhi home." "You took her home?"

Liu Changcun was somewhat surprised; he clearly hadn't expected his son to come home late for this reason.

After hesitating for a moment, he still asked with doubt.

Why did you take her home?

"Because Aunt Wen said she had something to give you."

The buzzing of the hairdryer could be heard in the living room, but Liu Changcun clearly heard his son's voice in front of him.

For a moment, she couldn't figure out what Aunt Wen, whom her son had mentioned, wanted to give her.

Before he could speak, he saw Liu Songyan in front of him take a ticket out of his pocket.

Liu Changcun reached out and took it, glancing at it twice.

Upon seeing that it was a movie ticket, she looked at her son in surprise.

"Movie tickets? She's treating me to a movie?"

"probably."

Pretending to be ignorant, Liu Songyan silently took off his shoes and put on slippers.

"It seems that Aunt Wen felt a little embarrassed because you missed out on the last time she treated you to a meal."

"Only two tickets? Why didn't I take you all with me?"

"Tomorrow I'm going to buy exercise books with Shen Ruzhi. Late Autumn is also going shopping, so our times just happen to be different."

"shop?!"

As the sound of the hairdryer gradually faded, Liu Wanqiu, sporting a head of fluffy long hair, ran up to the father and son.

Looking at her older brother, she asked in confusion.

"When was this agreed upon? I don't remember."

"..."

Why ask now of all times?

Liu Songyan silently took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it to Liu Wanqiu in front of him.

I hope to shut her up with money.

However, during the summer vacation, the once-effective tricks lost all their appeal to Liu Wanqiu.

He glanced at it with a puzzled look, and then saw that the banknote handed to him was only a small five yuan.

He curled his lips in disgust.

"Brother...you're underestimating me too much."

With her face tilted back, Liu Wanqiu hardened her stance.

"Now I can't be satisfied with just five dollars... ten dollars!"

Before Liu Wanqiu could finish speaking, she saw Liu Songyan take back the banknotes and then hand over ten yuan bills instead.

The standards have been raised somewhat, but not by much.

Liu Wanqiu immediately put her doubts to the back of her mind as she took the ten-yuan bill.

Overjoyed, he started running again, heading towards his room.

Only when they heard the door close did the father and son, who were standing at the door, turn their gaze away.

Liu Changcun frowned slightly.

I have no idea who my daughter inherited her money-grubbing ways from.

However, after Liu Wanqiu's interruption, Liu Changcun, as the father, forgot the question he wanted to ask and turned to his son instead.

"The food is still warm. Would you like to eat it now or after you take a shower?"

"I've already eaten at Aunt Wen's house."

Answering his father, Liu Songyan stepped into the house.

She answered her father's questions flawlessly, and after replying, she said she was going to take a shower and go back to her room.

I walked towards the bedroom.

Liu Songyan caught a glimpse of An Zhaoran standing up from the sofa out of the corner of his eye.

He walked in the direction he had come from.

Liu Songyan's hand had already landed on the doorknob, and he was about to turn it when he noticed this and stopped.

He stood quietly in place, listening to An Zhaoran approach his father and ask a question.

"My senior... wants to invite you to a movie?"

"Yes, I also find it quite strange."

"what movie?"

"Hmm...it seems to be a horror movie."

"Two people going to see a horror movie?"

"Maybe she just likes this kind of movie."

"..."

Seeing that his father behind him didn't seem to have any suspicions, Liu Songyan, who was standing in front of the bedroom door, preparing to take a change of clothes and go take a shower, breathed a sigh of relief.

He pressed down on the doorknob, just about to enter the house.

"I want to go tomorrow too!"

An Zhaoran's words reached Liu Songyan's ears.

He had already half-opened the door and was about to step inside when he stopped and turned around in surprise to look behind him.

Look at An Zhaoran standing with her father, saying those words.

Looking at the other person's nervous expression.

His gaze slowly shifted, gradually turning to his father standing to the side.

Focusing his attention on Liu Changcun's face, he looked at the other man's calm expression.

Suddenly, Liu Changcun smiled.

Instead of refusing, she immediately responded.

"Sure, I have the day off tomorrow anyway."

Upon hearing this answer, An Zhaoran's tense expression vanished instantly, replaced by a barely suppressed smile that seemed to indicate secret delight.

Liu Songyan witnessed the two gazing at each other.

Observing the two standing together, and looking at An Zhaoran who had been staying at her house for several days.

As he considered a possibility, his gaze gradually deepened.

Without saying a word, he looked away and slowly pushed open the door.

He entered his bedroom.
