My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day

Chapter 744: 744, popcorn, a little sweet

“Darling.” Gu Pingting urged, “Hurry up and buy the tickets.”

Zhan Yao snapped back to reality, could only vent his anger by shooting a glare at Gu Pingting.

This Gu Dazhuang, was she actually hooked on acting now?

Gu Pingting blinked, “And remember to get some popcorn and cola!”

“Eat, eat, eat, all you know is to eat!” Zhan Yao couldn’t help but scold.

Why was she called Gu Dazhuang?

One was because Gu Pingting, though petite and delicate, could eat a lot without ever gaining weight.

The second was because she was very strong and excelled in women’s combat sports. She hardly seemed like a woman at all.

“I want some too, I want some too!” Mo Weiyi suddenly chimed in.

“Alright.” Zhan Yao immediately changed his face, revealing a beaming smile, “Little Princess, would you like any other snacks?”

“No need, by the way, I don’t want cola, switch to mineral water.”

“Alright.”

When Zhan Yao went to queue up for tickets, Mo Weiyi took out her phone, “Pingting, let’s add each other on WeChat, we can hang out together in the future.”

She didn’t have many friends, finally made a friend Shi Huan, but Shi had an accident a while ago and needed to recuperate, plus she suddenly had a five-year-old daughter, and would soon be getting married… She just didn’t have the time to hang out.

Gu Pingting was a police officer, lively and cheerful, and she was also cute…

She liked her!

“Sure.” Gu Pingting took out her phone.

After they both added each other on WeChat and chatted a bit, Zhan Yao came back with the stuff.

“These two tickets are yours, here is the popcorn, and here is the water.”

Xiao Yebai received the items one by one.

However…

He quickly returned one bottle of mineral water.

Zhan Yao was stunned, “Aren’t you going to drink?”

Xiao Yebai replied calmly, “One bottle is enough.”

It was just a movie, no more than an hour and a half, plus they had just eaten, why did they buy so much water?

Zhan Yao, the single dog, was still puzzled, wasn’t it just right for each person to have one bottle?

He had specifically bought two bottles of mineral water for Mo Weiyi and Xiao Yebai.

He had no choice but to give the water to Gu Pingting, “You finish it.”

Gu Pingting, with a large bucket of popcorn, a large cup of cola, and now an additional bottle of mineral water, couldn’t help but protest, “Darling, this is too much, I already ate a lot for dinner.”

“Aren’t you a big eater?”

Gu Pingting: “…”

Mo Weiyi on the side couldn’t help but speak up again, “She’s so much younger than you, can you stop being so harsh? Be gentler with your girlfriend.”

Zhan Yao also: “…”

Damn it.

Thankfully he was wise enough not to buy seats next to each other, otherwise, wouldn’t he be nagged to death by the Little Princess throughout the movie?

They entered the theatre.

Gu Pingting checked their tickets, “We’re in the second row.”

Mo Weiyi was about to follow her, but her arm was suddenly pulled back by Xiao Yebai, “We’re in the last row.”

“Huh?”

Mo Weiyi was taken by surprise and led to the very last row by the man.

After settling into their seats, she looked up to see…

Zhan Yao and Gu Pingting sat nearly a whole theatre away from them.

Although they had come to watch the movie together, why weren’t they sitting together?

She asked Xiao Yebai, “Xiaobai, why are they sitting so far forward?”

Xiao Yebai calmly replied, “Probably to make it convenient for intimacy.”

Mo Weiyi: “…”

Really?

Um.

The phone suddenly rang, Xiao Yebai handed the popcorn to Mo Weiyi, put the bottle of mineral water in the cup holder between the seats, and picked up the phone to check WeChat.

Zhan Yao: [Don’t say I’m not helping you. Specifically got you and the Little Princess seats in the most secluded corner. You guys can get intimate as much as you want!]

Xiao Yebai: “…”

As for Mo Weiyi…

When the movie started to play, she finally understood why Xiao Yebai said it was convenient for intimacy.

The movie they were going to watch was the latest romantic film release. She hadn’t really looked into it before, only knowing that it starred a Taiwanese actress she really liked. The title of the movie was normal, and the tags for the movie were: romance, comedy, action.

For the first half hour or so, the film was quite funny, laughing was heard throughout the theatre due to the hilarious plot.

Until her favorite actress appeared, and in a few minutes, began to kiss the male lead, a mixed-race man.

And they were very involved, they moved around the room, with lots of long shots from every angle.

The background music also escalated their passion to its peak.

Mo Weiyi had watched this type of movie before, but rarely with Xiao Yebai.

And this…

The content was somewhat explicit.

The man and the woman were now rolling on the sofa, with the woman’s entire back exposed.

Laughter suddenly ceased in the theatre. Mo Weiyi felt uncomfortable when suddenly a man’s hand stretched over her shoulder.

Mo Weiyi instinctively turned her head.

Was Xiaobai doing this?

…

…

…

The cinema.

The last row.

The light was dim, except for the odd lights occasionally refracted from the film.

The only thing in her ear was the background sound from the movie.

The popcorn in Mo Weiyi’s hand was taken away.

Fortunately, they were in the last row. It was Monday, not too many people were watching this film. At the last row, there were only the two of them.

Unless someone deliberately looked back, no one would notice.

…

Mo Weiyi was about to reach for the water when halfway through, a man’s hand held hers.

Er.

Mo Weiyi was completely dumbfounded.

Why had Xiaobai become so proactive these past two days?

Suddenly, a loud laugh passed through.

Mo Weiyi was startled and quickly tried to push him away, “Xiaobai…”

“Popcorn.”

“What?” Mo Weiyi didn’t quite catch it.

“It’s a bit sweet.”

Mo Weiyi: “…”

This is killing me.

In the end, Mo Weiyi couldn’t even remember the plot of the movie she had just watched.

However, towards the end, Xiao Yebai finally let her go, “Wipe this off for me.”

Mo Weiyi pulled her collar and took out a tissue from her bag.

All the lipstick was gone, but barely any popcorn was eaten.

No water was drunk either.

By the time the lights in the theater lit up, Mo Weiyi had just finished wiping his face.

He sat there, with a corner of his lip curled, his brows and eyes smooth, looking especially handsome and clean.

Where was the man from just now?

“Let’s go,” he said.

Mo Weiyi got up as he held her hand, subconsciously glancing towards Zhan Yao and Gu Pingting.

“Huh, where did they go?” she wondered.

Xiao Yebai looked around, “They might have left early.”

“Oh,” she replied.

Without thinking too much, Mo Weiyi walked out of the theater with Xiao Yebai.

As they passed by a shop, her eyes instinctively drifted towards it.

“Want to look around?” Xiao Yebai asked.

Mo Weiyi quickly nodded her head, “Sure.”

Xiao Yebai rarely had the leisure to go shopping with her, which was something that had never happened before.

Even though Mo Weiyi didn’t really need anything, she still pulled him into the shop.

The tall, handsome man and the beautiful, enchanting woman instantly drew attention, “Hello, feel free to look around,” a shopkeeper greeted them.

“Okay.”

Mo Weiyi, barely glancing at the shelves while draping an arm around his, just browsed the items quickly.

It was a craft shop with warm tones of bright yellow. Even though it was after 9 p.m., there were still quite a few customers.

Much of them were young people, many of who were couples.

The place was bustling with noise and movement.

Mo Weiyi felt like she and Xiao Yebai were just like them, even though they were no longer teenagers and were both dressed in professional attire.

After turning a corner, Mo Weiyi suddenly stopped in front of a rack.

“What’s wrong?”

Mo Weiyi looked up, her clear cat eyes blinking, “Xiaobai, do you think this is boring?”

“Not at all,” Xiao Yebai answered.

Mo Weiyi couldn’t help but laugh.

She was the one doing all the browsing, while he just followed her pace, showing no curiosity and not even looking at anything.

After all, these were small knick-knacks that only girls would be interested in, so it was normal for him not to be interested.

But because of that, Mo Weiyi felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

…

When they reached the back of the store,

Mo Weiyi stopped and picked up a pink cartoon water cup.

It was part of a couple’s set, complete with a matching heating base. Mo Weiyi had seen this introduced on TikTok before—it was a popular item.

“Xiaobai, should we get this?” She immediately asked.

“No.”

“Huh?”

Caught by surprise as Xiao Yebai was so direct in his refusal, Mo Weiyi’s face fell, “Why not?”

The enthusiastic server came over, “Sir, miss, this couple’s cup set is very popular. You can use it for tea, coffee, milk tea, and it keeps your drink warm. It’s both convenient and good looking. If you want a different design, we have others too.”

Influenced by the server’s enthusiasm, Mo Weiyi found herself more interested.

Most importantly, it was a set for couples. She and Xiaobai had never shared a couple’s water cup.

And it was perfect for the office.

“Wrap it up for me!” Mo Weiyi immediately decided.

Xiao Yebai looked at her.

Mo Weiyi pouted, “If you don’t buy it, I will. I’m buying it for you and you better use it.”

“You can’t buy it.”

Mo Weiyi stood there, stunned.

Why was he now refusing to let her buy it?

The server was also a bit taken aback, “Sir, this set of cups is truly beautiful, won’t you consider buying it for your girlfriend?”

Xiao Yebai asked, “How much is it?”@@novelbin@@

“A total of 480 yuan.”

“So, 240 yuan each. How do we pay?”

When Xiao Yebai said this, Mo Weiyi was speechless.

As was the server.

*

When Mo Weiyi was making the payment by scanning a QR code, she really wanted to refuse to buy it out of anger.

What was this all about?

This was the first time he came to pick her up from work, watched a movie with her, and went shopping with her. They had a good time, but they ended up splitting the payment for a pair of water cups that cost just over 400 yuan.

After she finished scanning the code, she deliberately said, “Wrap them separately.”

The server paused again.

What on earth was happening with this couple?

They look great together and seem rich, but they’re splitting the cost of cups of few hundred yuan?

And now they want the cups wrapped separately?

Thankfully, Xiao Yebai spoke, “Pack them together.”

The serveraved her off immediately, “Okay, sir.”

…

As Xiao Yebai left with the packaged cups, the server couldn’t help gossiping with her colleague.

“What’s the deal? Are those two a couple or what?”

“Would a couple split the bill for cups?”

“Maybe they are not a couple? But they look so perfect together, one cool, one beautiful.”

The shop owner rolled her eyes, “Can you two be serious? Haven’t you read the news or newspapers? That woman is the only daughter of the Mo family, and that man is the adopted son of the Mo family. They’ve been married for a while now, get it?”

The server: “…”

So he was a son-in-law who had married into the family.

But did they really need to split the bill for a teacup worth a couple of hundreds?

**

Mo Weiyi walked outside, still feeling upset about their decision to split the bill.

Just then, her phone rang. Without even looking at Xiao Yebai, she answered, “Teacher Wang, is there something you need?”

Xiao Yebai looked at her and quietly waited on the side.

A frantic voice came from the other end, “Miss Mo, is Lu still at the office?”

“No, we finished at 6:30, he left before me.”

“Really? Then why isn’t he answering my calls? I’ve been trying to reach him.”

“I’m not sure, maybe he’s busy?” she answered.
