Chapter 772

"Popcorn?"

Shu Xia heard the doctor's counter-question and blushed.

There were probably almost no people who would call a doctor to ask such a question.

Just how greedy could one be!

But Qiao Muting's tone when asking was very serious, not like he was joking, and in the end, the doctor said she could eat some, in small amounts.

Qiao Muting got the reply and told Shu Xia to wait.

Before long, he returned holding a large bucket of popcorn.

Shu Xia's eyes lit up as she watched.

"Eat, this little bit of movie-watching pleasure cannot be deprived," Qiao Muting said, his eyes looking at Shu Xia with a little glimmer flickering within them.

Shu Xia took it, her tone revealing her delight, "Thank you."

The movie started, and the plot began in a light and happy way.

Gradually, the plot changed.

In the end, it changed abruptly.

The male and female leads separated because of a misunderstanding, and when they met again, there were more misunderstandings; after the misunderstandings were cleared up, the male lead unexpectedly died in a car accident, and the female lead had always thought the male lead didn't like her, so she married someone else and had children.

It wasn't until several years later that the female lead learned the male lead had died.

The final scene was the female lead's pale face after learning the truth.

A beautiful beginning, a fantasy-like ending.

After watching it, Qiao Muting said two words to Shu Xia, "Trash movie; neither person had a mouth, they both deserved to die."

How on earth did Zhang Tezhu book tickets for such a trash movie?

Shu Xia didn't recover for a long time; although the movie wasn't exactly good or bad, the ending where two people who loved each other were separated by death made her feel sorrowful just thinking about it.

Seeing that Shu Xia wasn't speaking, Qiao Muting thought Shu Xia's mood had been affected by the movie, so when they walked out of the cinema, he held her hand and said, "We both have mouths."

The meaning was that if there was anything to say, they could say it or ask about it.

Sometimes, misunderstandings are just each person's wild imagination.

Although it was a trash movie, it still served as a reminder.

Shu Xia couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, we both have mouths. Don't worry, if there's something, I'll say it directly."

The two had just gotten into the car when Qiao Muting's phone suddenly rang.

The familiar ringtone was exceptionally loud inside the car.

Qiao Muting saw the phone number with no contact name, his pupils deepened, and the moment he spoke, his voice dropped several degrees, "What is it?"

Concise and to the point.

No extra emotion.

Any phone could make the other party feel pressure.

"I'm getting engaged the day after tomorrow. Bring Aunt over; it just so happens my dad said the family should get together, and we can also talk about the current situation of Qiao Group."

The person calling was Qiao Guanqing's cousin Qiao Lihua, whom Qiao Muting called Fourth Uncle.

In reality, he was only ten years older than Qiao Muting.

The "Aunt" in Qiao Lihua's mouth was Old Madam Qiao.

Qiao Muting only simply said "Mm," without an extra word, and hung up directly.

When he looked at Shu Xia again, he saw Shu Xia's concern for him.

His heart suddenly gave a fierce jolt.
