Chapter 69: A Little Luck

The night movie wasn’t too bad. The movie they ended up watching was an unsuccessful foreign hero blockbuster. This kind of film could only achieve the best effect when viewed in a movie theater.

Before entering, Gu Tingchuan also deliberately bought her popcorn. However, even the aroma of food, combined with the extreme effects of the movie, couldn’t detract her from her distraction.

Yi Ran was thinking about what to say to Gu Tingchuan, whether to let him make this documentary, to allow him to satisfy his sense of creation or to be loyal to her heart and let him stay…

She couldn’t give a positive answer now.

It was cold outside at night, but fortunately, the theater was fully heated, and she was sitting next to Director Gu. At this moment, she felt like a sluggy mess.

Even in the dim room, Gu Tingchuan felt her distraction. “You don’t seem to be thinking about watching the movie.”

His voice was so close to her ear that she could feel the warmth of his breath against her skin. Before Yi Ran even had the chance to speaking, she was already being kissed.

The kiss in the dark was more secretive and urgent than usual. The tip of his nose rubbed against her face as his lips brushed over hers. The light, lingering touch was sexy and charming, creating an irresistible confusion.

His tongue dipped into her mouth, tasting like sweet corn and sweeping from top to bottom. As she was breathlessly kissed, her fingers subconsciously tightened on her popcorn, nearly tipping the bucket over.

Even as his mouth moved over her lips, his hands began to feel restless. He stroked over her upper body, and the gentle touch made her chest feel swollen and numb.

It was clearly a cold and chilly night, but in this dark cinema, it was full of tenderness. Yi Ran was also beginning to feel hot. She wanted to say that this was a public place. How could Gu Tingchuan, a famous director, be so brave!

Yi Ran glanced at him in the dark screening room and realized that the man had deliberately disturbed her. Seeing her shameful red face through the flashing white lights on the screen, he finally retracted his hand with satisfaction.

Later, he looked sternly forward as he began to pay attention to the movie. His side profile resumed his usual indifference, and he did not look at all like someone who had just kissed her breathless in a dark, public place.

After they watched the movie, Mr. Gu drove home directly. Although it was already early in the morning, Yi Ran still did not feel tired. She was silent along the way, her head in a mess. But, she couldn’t think of anything.

After Gu Tingchuan entered the room, he took off his coat and said to her, “Don’t think about it too much. I’ve already decided.”

“It’s easy to say. Shouldn’t you think more about such a big thing?”

Yi Ran changed into her newly bought cotton slippers, which quickly warmed her feet. When she looked up and saw the man’s tall and handsome back, she also remembered the kiss that seemed to remain between her lips and tongue. If they were really separated for so long, the probability that she would spend her days pining after him would be very high.

Gu Tingchuan was standing at the entrance, his silhouette backlit by the lights in the living room. His well-defined face had a loving look.

“Then tell me, if I went, would you miss me?”

Would you miss me?

This sentence suddenly poked at Yi Ran’s sore points. Her nose grew sour, and her expression was full of contradictions and perseverance.

How could she not miss him? As long as this thought came about, it was so intrusive that she knew she would spend the next few days lingering over it. If he was really gone for that long, how would she survive day by day without him?

However, these were things that she must do.

“Then, tell me? Should you be the type of man who would give up his dreams for the sake of his wife?”

Yi Ran said this with a bit of anger. He heard the words and just smiled. “I’m not giving up on my dreams. I’m just choosing what I should do now. What’s more, we haven’t even planned a wedding yet. Even if my mother didn’t say anything, my grandfather and his generation would have a lot of opinions.”

Yi Ren felt a tight, desperate inner panic, and there was a layer of tears in her eyes. “I know. But, I just want you to do your favorite thing. I can’t bear for you to give up anything for me. I knew that I would have to be apart for you for a long time but…”

Her voice was soft and helpless. Gu Tingchuan walked in front of her and held her gently. When he spoke, his voice was clear, “Then, just let the matter go. Even if I don’t do it, they’ll give it to some other director.”

“At least don’t reject them so quickly.” Yi Ran looked up at him seriously. “Give it a little more time. Let’s think about it some more.”

Actually, the only way left was for her to go with him and participate in the shooting with him.

Yi Ran also remembered that Gu Tingchuan had hoped that she would stay with him some day. In the future, he would have to go to various places for away to shoot movies and it would be inconvenient for them to be so far apart.

She just did not expect such an opportunity to come so fast. Even if she made this decision hastily, there would still be many issues to consider. Moreover, the filming site might be hard to live in. She didn’t know if it would be inconvenient for him to take her along.

Besides, what could she do aside from taking care of him? How could she make use of her greatest talents and abilities? How to prove her worth?

These were things that needed to be considered in the long run.

In Director Gu’s arms, Yi Ran felt only warmth. She quietly sighed and thought that if these doubts could be resolved, then they might be able to actually make it work.
