Chapter 422 - 371: A Belated Birthday Gift and the Movie Theater

At these words, everyone else, including Zhang Qiuyue, perked up their ears.

Gao Qiang chuckled. "Ah Yun and I have been good friends since we were kids."

"Then do you know what his net worth is?" Xie Miao asked, her face full of curiosity.

"No idea! But it’s definitely more than what people say online, not less!"

...

Wu Yun didn’t sit across from Wen Meng. Instead, he plopped down right next to her.

"Senior, have you ordered the food?"

Wen Meng beamed. "Three dishes and a soup, all your favorites! And it includes spicy fried pig kidneys!"

As she said this, a bashful look appeared on her face.

Wu Yun grinned mischievously. "Senior, you’re playing with fire! Do I look like someone who needs his kidneys ’replenished’?"

Wen Meng pretended to be scared. "Junior, you’d better go easy on me tonight. I have class tomorrow morning!"

Wu Yun chuckled, wrapping an arm around Wen Meng’s soft waist. "Too late! Tonight, you’re definitely going to experience the might of my kidneys again!"

"MWAH~" Wu Yun planted a heavy kiss on Wen Meng’s makeup-free face, and before she could react, he pulled out a gift he had prepared earlier.

"Ta-da! Look what this is!" Wu Yun said, pulling a long, palm-sized box from his pocket.

Wen Meng covered her mouth in pleasant surprise. "A necklace!~"

Wu Yun looked apologetic. "Senior! I was in the United States during your birthday. Next year, I’ll definitely be by your side!"

Wu Yun then opened the box, revealing a delicate platinum necklace inside. A diamond the size of an index fingernail was set in its exquisitely designed pendant, sparkling under the light.

"This is the necklace I bought for you when I was in the United States. What do you think? It’s beautiful, right? They said it was designed and crafted by a master, worth fifty thousand dollars! I think the design fee and the master’s name make up most of the cost, but I have to admit, the necklace is still quite pretty."

Wen Meng examined the necklace in Wu Yun’s hands, liking it more and more. She said coquettishly, "Junior, I really love it. Hurry up and put it on me~"

As she spoke, she turned to the side, presenting her back to Wu Yun, and gathered her ponytail to make it easier for him to put the necklace on her.

Wu Yun chuckled, holding both ends of the necklace. He first lifted his hand to place the necklace against Wen Meng’s chest before fastening the clasp behind her.

Smelling the fresh scent of Wen Meng’s hair and seeing the pendant mischievously fall to the edge of her deep cleavage, Wu Yun resisted the urge to peek further.

"Excuse me! Sorry to interrupt, your food is here!" The waiter’s voice startled the lovey-dovey couple.

Wu Yun stood up and moved to sit across from Wen Meng.

After the waiter had served all the dishes, Wen Meng touched her chest and asked, "So? Is it beautiful?"

"Beautiful! Of course, it’s beautiful! Senior, you look even sexier and prettier now!" Wu Yun wasn’t wrong. The eye-catching diamond pendant rested right on her cleavage, easily drawing attention to the cleavage that was slightly exposed by her training uniform.

Before they even started eating, Wen Meng picked up her phone and took several selfies. She chose one she liked and posted it to her Moments.

"A belated birthday present!!!"

Although Wen Meng had taken photos with Wu Yun, she only posted a solo selfie. She knew this would avoid as much trouble as possible, since Wu Yun was now something of a public figure.

Seeing Wen Meng put her phone down, Wu Yun looked at the sliced pork in hot chili oil in front of him and said impatiently, "All set? Let’s dig in!"

...

After the meal, Wu Yun patted his slightly full stomach and sighed, "It’s still better in Huaxia! The food abroad is fine to try when you’re traveling, but I really can’t handle eating it long-term."

Wen Meng picked up a napkin to wipe the grease from the corner of her mouth and said with a smile, "Whatever you want to eat, I’ll cook it for you on the weekend!"

The corner of Wu Yun’s mouth curved into a wicked grin. "Tonight, I want to eat abalone~"

"You’re awful!"

Wu Yun stood up. "Let’s go! Time for the movie! We’re going to support Qi Fei’s first film!"

Wen Meng stood up excitedly. "Even if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have dragged you to support Feifei’s movie. This is the first time I’ll be seeing someone I know perform on the big screen!"

Wen Meng naturally linked her arm with Wu Yun’s, and the two walked out along the same corridor they had come in.

As they passed the table where Gao Qiang and the others were sitting, Wu Yun noticed they still hadn’t left.

"Qiangzai! You guys take your time. We’re heading out!" After speaking, Wu Yun gave a slight nod to Zhang Qiuyue.

The group watched Wu Yun and Wen Meng get into a white G63 parked by the roadside before the conversation shifted back to Wu Yun.

"So that’s the car you guys said he bought for his girlfriend? Holy shit! He really is filthy rich!" Li Ping’an, who was usually a bit arrogant and flaunted his Audi A5 around campus, said.

But after seeing Wu Yun, his arrogance vanished, and he became much more humble, which Zhang Qiuyue found rather amusing.

Xie Miao called out, "Is everyone done eating? We should get going, or we’ll be late!"

Li Ping’an nodded, glancing one more time at the G63 pulling away from the curb before getting up and walking to the cashier.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman are an eye-catching pair wherever they go.

While Wu Yun and Wen Meng were at the cinema waiting for the movie to start, many people were either stealing glances or staring openly in their direction.

Wu Yun had just twisted the cap off a bottle of mineral water when he heard several voices from behind.

"Wu Yun! President Wu!?"

"Hubby~"

...

Hearing that coquettish cry, Wu Yun couldn’t help but shiver. As Wen Meng stifled a giggle, he turned to see three young women of varying heights and builds behind him, all looking to be in their early twenties.

Wu Yun wasn’t sure which one of them had called out "Hubby," but seeing the strange look on Wen Meng’s face, he guessed there was an eighty or ninety percent chance it came from the shorter, chubbier girl.

Sure enough, the short, chubby girl bounced over to Wu Yun’s side and said excitedly, "Hubby!~ Uh, no! Hello, President Wu! I’m Xiao Xiao, it’s so great to see you in person tonight! We’re all here to see *Wolf Warrior*. We just got our tickets and were talking about taking a photo when we saw you!"

The short, chubby girl even took out her phone to show her Weibo page. "I’m a fan of yours!"

Wu Yun stood up, having already guessed what the three wanted. He smiled. "Hello! How can I help you?"

Xiao Xiao gave an embarrassed smile. "We were just wondering, President Wu, if we could take a photo with you. Maybe it’ll boost our luck for the prize draw later."

Wu Yun readily agreed, "Sure, no problem!"

Afterward, the three girls took turns having their picture taken with Wu Yun while holding their movie tickets, then left, satisfied.

Wu Yun was about to sit down when he was politely stopped by others who recognized him. For a moment, he became like a mascot standing by the movie’s promotional poster, getting a taste of the celebrity treatment of being surrounded for photos.

Some people who didn’t know who Wu Yun was, after asking the onlookers, also joined the crowd to watch or even take pictures, just following the trend.

The cinema had to assign some staff to maintain order. Fortunately, it was just watching and taking pictures; Wu Yun didn’t encounter any crazy fans.

"Look! Isn’t that Wu Yun?" Xie Miao said, standing on her tiptoes and pointing at Wu Yun, who was surrounded by a crowd.

"Holy shit! Since when was Ah Yun so popular! It’s all women!" Gao Qiang said, looking at Wu Yun’s already stiff smile, with two beautifully dressed girls clinging to his side.

Li Ping’an retorted, "That’s the power of money for you!"

"Wrong! The prerequisite is that you also have to be as handsome as Wu Yun!"

...

"Dear audience members, good evening! Ticket checking for the 8:30 PM showing of *Wolf Warrior* will begin shortly. Please line up at the ticket gate and enter in an orderly fashion!"

Hearing the repeated announcement on the broadcast, Wu Yun breathed a sigh of relief. This was the first time he’d ever been surrounded like this. Although he didn’t have to be as mindful of his every action as a real celebrity, he still hadn’t refused anyone’s request for a photo, especially the coquettish pleas from the pretty girls.

"Alright, everyone! It’s time to get your tickets checked and head in!" With the help of the staff, Wu Yun broke away from the crowd, grabbed Wen Meng’s hand, and they entered the corridor ahead of the others.
