âOh, really?â Brian raised his eyebrows, clearly understanding.
âDid you and Lina talk about hugging Kering when you meet him?â
âWell, when you meet an actor you usually only see on TV or in movies, especially one you like, you naturally want to get closer to them,â Valda said.
âWhat about you? You seemed to like Kering before. You even watched his recent TV drama multiple times on your iPad, didnât you?â
âI really thought that drama was good, and Kering played his character well,â Valda said matter-of-
factly.
âWhat do you mean by âplayed his character wellâ?â Brian leaned in, his voice becoming lower.
Valda suddenly realized something was off when she met Brianâs intense gaze. âIâ¦I was just speaking as a regular audience member.â
âOh, just a regular audience memberâ¦â he drawled, almost smiling. âSo, as a regular audience member, are you planning to hug him too?â
âOf course not,â she said. âIâm not even a fan of Kering.â
âDonât you feel regretful?â he asked, moving his face closer to hers, his lips almost touching her cheek.
âWhy would I regret not hugging a celebrity when I have such a handsome husband who I canât even hug enough?â Valda tried to move her head back, but his hand was holding onto the back of her head, preventing her from creating more distance.
He gave a slight smile and pecked her lips, âSince thatâs the case, why donât you hug me?â
Huh?!
She paused, âNow?â
âYes, now,â he said. âI just want my dear wife to hug me more, is that too much to ask?â
âOf course, itâs not too much to say.â She had a big belly and couldnât really knock him down. Holding him would feel like having a delicious food in front of her, but she could only look and touch, but not eat.
This feeling of helplessness is also very uncomfortable!
Valda opened her arms and hugged Brian.
Brian also opened his arms and hugged Valda, being careful not to hold her too tightly and avoid putting pressure on her belly.
Then he leaned in close to her ear and whispered, âItâs really a test of self-control, isnât it? In the future, youâll have to make it up to me.â
Valda understood immediately, because for her, it was also a test!
âOkay,â she blushed and took the initiative to kiss him on the lips.
Although I canât actually taste it, hmm⦠I think I can still give it a try and have a little taste.
On the day of the premiere, Valda brought not only a group of close girlfriends but also Brian to attend.
In addition, Hadwin also showed up, which was a bit unexpected for Valda. However, Hadwin got his ticket from Brian.
Valda whispered to Lina, âDidnât you say your husband wasnât coming?â
âYeah, we had agreed that he wouldnât come, but who knew he suddenly cancelled his previously scheduled work and decided to come here,â Lina said with a frustrated expression.
âDidnât you say he wasnât interested in art films?â Valda asked.
Lina said helplessly, âHeâs not interested in art films, but heâs afraid Iâll be too interested.â
Valda understood, âAre they afraid you are too enthusiastic about Kering?â
âHehe.â Lina chuckled awkwardly.
When the movie started, the women sat in a row with Valda and Lina on either side, while their respective husbands sat next to them.
Valda whispered to Brian, âDid you prepare a ticket for Hadwin too? Why didnât you say so beforehand?â
âI was going to say it that day, but thenâ¦I forgot because I helped you change clothes,â Brian replied.
Valdaâs face turned red instantly, and she couldnât help but recall the scene from earlier. If it werenât for her stomach ache, they would haveâ¦
Stop, stop! Donât think about it anymore!
She reminded herself in her mind, then focused her attention and started watching the movie.
