Chapter 362 – 392: The Cinema
Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-Two

Li Mengjie looked more and more at the picture, and even really wanted to take out the Jade Bead Bracelet on her wrist to compare.

But for some reason, she didn’t want to expose it.

So she suppressed that curiosity.

“Mengjie, your cousin is talking to you. What’s the matter? You seem distracted,” Mother Li said.

Li Mengjie looked up at Han Xu and said, “Cousin, is it okay if I take a picture of this photo? I just want to look; I won’t spread it around.”

Han Xu was somewhat puzzled. Even if the Magical Bracelet was precious, why would you get addicted to looking at its photo? There are many jewels that look prettier than that bracelet. Wouldn’t it be better to look at a jewelry magazine?

However, it was rare for Li Mengjie to ask something from him, so he smiled and waved, saying, “No need to take another picture. If you like the photo, just keep it. It’s not some top-secret thing.”

“Thank you, cousin,” Li Mengjie quickly put the photo away and after sitting for a while, said, “Cousin, I’m going to take a shower now.”

“Hmm, I’ll chat with your second aunt a bit more…” Han Xu responded, watching the graceful figure of Li Mengjie running upstairs, feeling somewhat warm inside. His cousin was getting more beautiful as she grew up, and her figure was becoming more and more appealing. Although he wasn’t lacking in women, none of them gave him the feeling that Li Mengjie did. Maybe it was because of that additional layer of cousin-related blood, which gave him a sense of breaking taboos.

In a flash, Li Mengjie ran to her bedroom upstairs, closed the door, and immediately took off the bracelet from her hand and compared it with the photo.

The photo wasn’t very clear, but the design was still captured.

Li Mengjie counted, and the number of beads on the bracelet was the same: nine.

And the style was also exactly the same, simple and unadorned.

But just like this, it was impossible to prove that these two items were the same. Besides, she really didn’t believe that Long Xiaoshan, that stingy guy, would give her a bracelet worth a hundred million. A hundred million! Who in all of Hechuan City could make such a lavish gesture?

Although Long Xiaoshan seemed very rich, able to afford a Ferrari, he had no relation to her. How could he possibly give her a bracelet worth a hundred million?

And even if they were in a relationship, even if she were his woman, which man would willingly spend a hundred million on a woman?

She had confidence in herself. She was a rare beauty, but if a man truly wanted to spend a hundred million, he could definitely find someone more beautiful than her, and not just one. Experience tales at

She must be overthinking it.

It was definitely just a coincidence.

Her cousin had said that the bracelet was auctioned off to a woman. Such precious items definitely could not be plentiful. How could there be another one in Long Xiaoshan’s hands?

Li Mengjie felt her idea was somewhat laughable. Of course, it would be simple to verify. Just by harming herself slightly with the fruit Knife, she could confirm it. Didn’t her cousin say that the bracelet was a Magic Artifact, capable of blocking bullets? It would definitely block a fruit Knife.

But after thinking about it, she immediately abandoned the idea.

If she believed that Long Xiaoshan had given her a bracelet worth a hundred million, and then she harmed herself with a fruit Knife, how foolish that would be.

Who would she go to for justice if she got injured later?

Alas!

What was she even thinking just now, to believe for a moment that the bracelet at the auction was the same as hers? Li Mengjie threw the photo onto the table, shook her head, took off her clothes, and walked into the bathroom…

After coming out of the private diner, Long Xiaoshan took Chun Tao shopping at the mall and then they enjoyed ice cream and numerous snacks like a pair of young lovers.

It was only after spending the afternoon strolling around that they arrived at the movie theater.

Inside the movie theater, it was pitch black.

Long Xiaoshan and Chun Tao chose a high-end private movie theater with private rooms, avoiding any outside disturbances.

Since it was dinner time, the place was rather empty.

The two of them chose a romance movie to watch.

Long Xiaoshan wasn’t interested in movies, and romance films were even less capable of capturing his attention. But watching a movie with your girlfriend wasn’t about the film itself, it was about the sweet feeling between the two people.

So he didn’t find it boring.

Besides, in the darkened theater, with just the two of them in the private room, Long Xiaoshan’s attention wasn’t on the movie at all.

Chun Tao was watching a movie for the first time and was very engrossed in it, completely captivated by the plot to the point of weeping.

Seeing Chun Tao cry,

Long Xiaoshan curiously looked over, only to almost be thunderstruck by the melodramatic plot.

The movie was about a female lead who, in order to support her boyfriend’s education, resorted to prostitution to earn money. Eventually, her boyfriend discovered this, misunderstood, and broke up with her to date another wealthy woman. Years later, when the male lead achieved success and was about to marry the wealthy woman, he accidentally discovered the truth about the past–his girlfriend had sold her body for his sake, and her discovery was orchestrated by his current rich girlfriend, aiming to break them up.

Once he found out the truth, he regretted it deeply and resolutely gave up his bright future, breaking up with his current girlfriend to reconcile with the female lead. Just as they seemed to return to their past poverty yet happy times, the female lead unexpectedly collapsed and upon examination at the hospital, was diagnosed with a terminal illness resulting from her past descent into degradation.

In short, the melodrama was over the top.

Long Xiaoshan pulled Chun Tao onto his lap, wiping her tears and asked, “Why are you crying?”

“It’s so touching. They are so unfortunate. Just when they finally got together, one of them got a terminal illness. Xiaoshan, if someday I did something like this for you, would you believe me?” Chun Tao said with a choke in her voice.

“Come on!” Long Xiaoshan broke out in a cold sweat. His wife was too innocent, brainwashed by such a melodramatic movie. He said “fiercely”,

“Touching, my foot. I think this woman is purely an idiot. If it weren’t for her not trusting her man and deciding on her own to become a prostitute to earn money, none of the subsequent nonsense would have happened. She thought she was sacrificing her small self, but no man could accept this kind of act. So, if you watch this kind of melodramatic movie and learn anything from it, see if I don’t teach you a proper lesson.”
