Chapter 50 - TO DATE (1/2)

”Where are we going?” Luo Jingyi paused getting inside the black car.

”Cinema.” Yun Jinghan mouthed as he rounded the vehicle.

”Why?”

”Why do people go there?”

”Watch a movie?” Buckling her seatbelt, she answered.

”No.” Starting the car, he shook his head slightly and winked at her, ”To date.”

After a moment of silence, she ordered, ”Stop the car.”

But he paid no heed to it. Instead, he reached for his phone and passed it to her. With questioning eyes, she held the device and checked what he wanted her to see.

”They've been following us since yesterday.”

Luo Jingyi slid her finger on the screen successively to view the images of two men with high-end cameras. Having a grasp of Aunt Alice's character, Luo Jingyi ruled her out. The first two that crossed her mind was her stepmother and her father. But with Han Peng busy with the upcoming election, her suspicion leaned strongly with Wang Hua.

'But what is the connection of this to dating?'

”They were sent by my grandmother.” Yun Jinghan answered plainly as if he was eavesdropping.

Luo Jingyi muttered a soft ”oh” when she had a grasp of what was going on. ”So you want to put a show?”

Dipping his chin to answer the question, Yun Jinghan slowed down when they neared the traffic light.

”Could you help me with this? If I didn't provide evidence I'm seeing someone, I might be married off next week.”

Luo Jingyi was silent and as always, she mulled over it.

'Well, he helped you deal with your problem with Aunt Alice. So it's proper to return the favor.' The white-winged angel explained.

But it was refuted by its nemesis. 'No. Don't. You are purely inviting trouble.'

The white-winged one pinched the other's arm. 'It's just simply watching, how could it lead to that?'

'Are you stupid? This is where it all starts. Movie dates will lead to dinner followed by a picnic in the park or shopping together. And before you knew it, you will start developing feelings with each other. Remember that you'll break up after a year. Moreover, something is fishy.'

'Idiot!' The white-winged hit the black-winged one on the head. 'Why are you thinking so far ahead? He didn't say anything about love. Will you stop questioning every person's intentions? He already explained his reasons.'

”Stop bickering!” She scolded softly.

The next second.. Spoof…
