Chapter 245 - 130: Chen Yuan Is Gone, I Can No Longer Be a Little Woman

Chapter 245: Chapter 130: Chen Yuan Is Gone, I Can No Longer Be a Little Woman

The two of them sat by the window, and the owner came over with their plates and bowls.

Learning from their last visit, they ordered a selection of the restaurant’s specialties, which included oysters.

"See? This time, the way the owner’s looking at us is much more normal."

Jiang Wanyi whispered, clearly still hung up on being misunderstood last time.

"I thought it was my lucky day, but it turns out it was all for the owner’s benefit. I got happy for nothing," Chen Yuan sighed.

"But I held your arm when we were out playing earlier, didn’t I?" Jiang Wanyi said with a playful pout.

"Be more proactive next time. Don’t make me remind you."

"Hmph, you’re pretty demanding."

Soon, the food they ordered was brought to their table.

They shared the oysters; Jiang Wanyi ate the vermicelli noodles on top, while Chen Yuan ate the oysters underneath.

As for the fatty pieces on the grilled skewers, Jiang Wanyi picked them all out and didn’t let Chen Yuan eat them.

Jiang Wanyi held up her phone. "I’ve booked your ticket. It’s for 12:20 PM tomorrow. You’ll get to Ice City around 3:30 PM, so you can still make it home for dinner."

"I could have booked it myself," Chen Yuan said.

"As long as the time works for you, don’t say another word. It’s already booked."

Jiang Wanyi didn’t give Chen Yuan a chance to argue, continuing to tap on her phone.

If she could, she would have liked for Chen Yuan to stay a few more days.

But his mother had called this morning. She must miss him, so Wanyi couldn’t keep him here any longer.

’Just like we said before, if he gets bored at home, he can always come back early.’

"Want to see a movie later?"

The weather had gotten very cold, making many outdoor activities unsuitable. Their options were limited.

Besides, Jiang Wanyi wasn’t the type of person with a huge repertoire of ideas. The only thing she could think of was the movie theater.

"We could see if Qingyue City has a couple’s theater," Chen Yuan said.

"They have an indoor amusement park there. We could check it out while we’re at it."

"You’re really getting hooked, aren’t you."

Hearing Chen Yuan suggest a couple’s theater, Jiang Wanyi didn’t say anything, nor did she refuse. It was a tacit agreement.

"There’s a 5:30 PM showing, but it looks like a horror movie. A foreign one. There aren’t many comedies out recently."

"Fine, fine, a horror movie it is. I love horror movies."

She shot Chen Yuan a look, seeing right through his little scheme.

’Does he really think I’m one of those girls?’

’The kind that screams at horror movies?’

’What a joke!’

Neither of them drank, so they finished eating in about an hour.

This time, she let Chen Yuan drive again. She got into the passenger seat herself and buckled her seatbelt.

"It’s almost rush hour. There’s a ton of traffic from here to Qingyue City. Are you sure you want me to drive? I’m not even confident myself."

"I already told you, the car has full coverage. Just drive without any worries."

"But if we get in an accident, won’t that be a waste of time?"

"If it’s a waste, it’s a waste. It’s no big deal."

Jiang Wanyi hadn’t thought that far ahead. To her, there didn’t seem to be much difference between watching a movie and dealing with a traffic accident. Either way, they would be doing something together, and what that "something" was didn’t really matter.

Chen Yuan got in the car and drove exceptionally slowly this time. Despite the increased traffic, they arrived safely.

In the underground parking garage, Jiang Wanyi guided Chen Yuan into a spot, discovering that he actually had a bit of a talent for driving.

’He’s only driven a few times, and he’s already this good. After a little more practice, he’ll be able to take me and Mili out.’

When they reached the first basement level, they saw that there were a lot more people around. This was probably due to winter break; with school out, everyone was coming out to relax.

Besides the bumper cars, the indoor amusement park on the first basement level had other attractions, but they weren’t quite suitable for Jiang Wanyi.

"Let’s go on the bumper cars first, then go to the movie."

"Okay."

Having done this before, Jiang Wanyi wasn’t shy this time.

Chen Yuan went to buy tickets while the two of them queued up behind the crowd.

"Do you remember that Pig Hero bumper car?" Jiang Wanyi whispered.

"I remember. That’s the one we rode in last time."

"This task is yours."

"Piece of cake."

After a few minutes, the previous round ended.

With quick reflexes, Chen Yuan snagged the Pig Hero bumper car and called Jiang Wanyi over.

The two of them sat down close together. Chen Yuan said:

"When it gets warmer in the spring, we can take Mili to Disney. There’s a lot more to do there."

"Mmm."

Jiang Wanyi agreed, but a part of her didn’t want to bring Mili.

’If the child comes along, all their attention will be on her, and they won’t be able to properly enjoy the park’s attractions.’

She’d rather go alone with Chen Yuan than go out as a group of three.

’But then again,’ she thought, ’little Mili is my own flesh and blood. How could I have such a thought?’

’But I do have that thought. It’s so conflicting.’

A bell rang, and the ride began.

Chen Yuan drove the small car, weaving through the arena.

Every so often, someone would bump into them. Jiang Wanyi’s screams were endless, and their bodies came into contact more and more frequently.

Just like last time, Jiang Wanyi was left wanting more when it was over.

But the movie was about to start, so they couldn’t waste any more time here.

Chen Yuan bought two cups of coffee, and they went up to the fifth floor.

Jiang Wanyi went to redeem the tickets while Chen Yuan went to buy popcorn.

After having their tickets checked, the two entered Theater 3.

The theater was a bit smaller than the one at the mall near her home, but the two-person sofa looked more spacious and comfortable. As for everything else, it was pretty much the same.
