Chapter 161: 161: Photo Clue

"Wait for me, I’ll be coming to find you soon, my love..."

Even though he still didn’t know her name or identity, just looking at this photo made Yue Youxi’s eyes light up like they were glowing with happiness.

He seemed to already foresee that in the future he wouldn’t repeat the "tragedies" of his grandfather or father; he would definitely make that woman the happiest woman in the world!

After each day’s "affections" ended, Yue Youxi went downstairs to have dinner with the Yue Family.

The old master of the Yue Family decreed that unless under special circumstances, the family must eat together. The purpose was, of course, to cultivate the relationships among the Yue Family members. However, there really wasn’t much affection to cultivate between Yue Youxi and Yue Xingyi’s family.

The twins, Yue Youyun and Yue Youlin, looked somewhat similar. They were in high school, and although their grades weren’t as excellent as Yue Youxi’s back in the day, they were much better compared to Yue Youqi, who spent his days idling. Plus, their sweet tongues made both Yue Xingyi, He Baihe, and the old master very fond of them.

The twins were clearly much more perceptive and shrewd than their second brother. Although sometimes this made He Baihe unhappy, just considering the old master’s fondness for them, they somewhat acknowledged this elder brother in front of Yue Youxi.

For example, after participating in a school-organized overseas exchange program, they wouldn’t forget to bring a gift for Yue Youxi.

"Big brother, this is the gift we chose for you. You might not like it, but this is our sincerity..." As she handed it over, Yue Youyun gave an embarrassed smile.

Because the twins were quite a bit younger than Yue Youxi, they didn’t really spend much time with this older brother. Her expression, both unfamiliar and eager to please, was really just right.

At least, the old master was satisfied.

"Thank you!" Yue Youxi’s disposition outwardly was never too passionate. He merely nodded slightly to the twin siblings.

But back in his room, he didn’t even open this gift and tossed it into the "cabinet," under the pretense of being afraid it would get damaged and needing to keep it safe.

As usual, as soon as office hours ended, Yue Youxi was ready to leave for home. At this moment, Xu Hanshan suddenly approached a bit shyly.

"What’s up?" he looked up calmly.

Xu Hanshan didn’t dare to meet his eyes: "Yue... your grandfather gave me a task, to take you to see a movie." Actually, she had requested this task from the old master.

Being selected as Yue Youxi’s assistant, Xu Hanshan naturally knew the old master’s intentions, and she never opposed it from the start. Especially after seeing Yue Youxi in person, her whole heart fell. Such a young and handsome eligible bachelor, wouldn’t she be silly not to reach out and grab him?

Xu Hanshan had learned from the "passive" fates of previous women and decided to take the initiative with Yue Youxi. She thought that a man as serious as Yue Youxi probably didn’t have much interest in life, being slow to warm up and needing her to kindle his "passionate" side.

Yue Youxi furrowed his brow slightly.

"Mr. Yue, please, give me a chance, would you? I’ve been looking forward to this movie for so long; it has my favorite idol, the international superstar Jiang Nuo, do you know?" Xu Hanshan began enthusiastically sharing information about her idol.

With no choice, knowing this man had little interest in life’s pleasures, if she wanted to lay the groundwork for the rest of her life, she had to cultivate some.

Yue Youxi was actually uninterested, but considering his grandfather, he knew that even if he didn’t go this time, his grandfather would find another way to make him go next time. Forget it, he preferred not to overthink such matters, so he nodded.

It’s just a movie after all; he could think of it as a supervisor rewarding a subordinate.

He then turned to ask his other assistant, Qin Shaotong, and others if they had time since he would treat them to a movie.

Qin Shaotong: "..."

The old master wanted the young master to "have a date," right? Here they were like third wheels...

Qin Shaotong had been with Yue Youxi for a long time and was highly capable, handling company affairs even during Yue Youxi’s absence. He not only earned Yue Youxi’s trust but also the old master’s favor.

Therefore, he was well aware of the old master’s intentions.

To avoid being too obvious as third wheels, Qin Shaotong deliberately booked some seats far from Yue Youxi and Xu Hanshan. Fortunately, "Seeking Immortality" was a popular movie with lots of people scrambling for seats, and they booked a later show time than Xu Hanshan, making both the facts and excuses perfectly reasonable.

The theater was filled with couples here and there, some of whom discussed how it was their third time watching, and how they cried every time for the romance between the Demon King and the little Fairy. Sigh... If their idols weren’t so happy together in real life, they might have considered going to the rooftop!

"Do you think Jiang Nuo and Qiuniang will stay together forever?" a companion asked.

"Why wouldn’t they? If even they’re not together, then there’s no fairy tale in this world."

"I also wish they would really stay together for a lifetime, grow old together, then I could believe in love again."

"Yeah, at least later on during breakups, I can comfort myself that I just didn’t find the right person."

...

Xu Hanshan stealthily listened for quite a while, feeling envious, and whispered to Yue Youxi, "Do you think there’s true love in the entertainment industry?"

Yue Youxi: "Don’t know."

"I really hope they are true! Nowadays, love comes so easily with all these flash romances and flash marriages, too many of them. Fast-food love, just like fast-food bread, holds no security, making love feel like a child’s play. If they’re real, they at least give hope to those who haven’t found true love..." Xu Hanshan indirectly expressed that she was currently single and hoped for a "true love" like that.

The information from the old master showed that Yue Youxi took relationships very seriously. His last girlfriend supposedly showed signs of infidelity, and he broke it off without any explanation. Therefore, even when creating a bit of flirtation, Xu Hanshan had to mind the scale, or else this man, who was particular about relationships, might assume she was someone who toyed with emotions everywhere.

Yue Youxi said very little, hardly speaking at all, while Xu Hanshan was the one doing all the talking.

She felt as if she was playing music to a cow—no matter how hard she tried to flirt with this man, he had the skill to stay "as steady as a mountain," without any reaction.

As soon as the movie started, Xu Hanshan was already a bit discouraged.

Watching a movie without talking left her temporarily silent, and her heart wasn’t in the film at all. She occasionally glanced at him but couldn’t keep track of the movie’s plot. Meanwhile, he sat there with his back straight, watching the movie intently.

It was said that serious men were particularly handsome, and in her eyes, his side profile was so handsome it could be admired for a century.

When the movie was halfway through, this man suddenly asked her, "Who is that woman?"

Xu Hanshan was a bit taken aback: "Who?"

She turned her head to watch the movie, just in time to see the Demon King hugging his little Fairy tightly, taking advantage of the situation.
