Chapter 147: 147: Together

They saw two people busy in the kitchen, one was Zhao Hai, and surprisingly, the other was Zhou Ruyan.

Zhou Ruyan was in charge of the cooking, with Zhao Hai assisting her.

“Dad, Ru Yan, you two…”

Zhao Yuxin snapped back to reality, realizing something, her face lit up with surprise and joy.

“Yu Xin, Xu Yang, Ru Yan and I are together now. We invited you over today to announce this to you,” Zhao Hai said as he took Zhou Ruyan’s hand, whose pretty face blushed as she nodded at them both.

“That’s wonderful!” Zhao Yuxin was overjoyed, her gaze falling on Zhou Ruyan, “Ru Yan, I knew the braised fish smelled better than when Dad makes it, it was your culinary skill! My dad is going to be so blessed from now on.”

With that comment, Zhou Ruyan’s cheeks turned an even brighter red.

“Yu Xin, Xu Yang, you guys have a seat first. There’s one more dish, it will be ready soon.” Zhao Hai let go of Zhou Ruyan’s hand and continued with his work.

“Okay then, I was thinking about helping out, but seeing you two so sweet together, like a harmonious couple, I won’t interrupt. I’ll just sit and wait for the meal,” Zhao Yuxin said.

Zhao Yuxin pulled Xu Yang back to the sofa in the living room to sit down.

“No wonder Dad was being so secretive, it was because of this.” Zhao Yuxin couldn’t contain her happiness, “Husband, it seems your plan was spot on. Having Ru Yan as Dad’s assistant has really made their relationship blossom. Otherwise, they couldn’t have come together so quickly.”

Xu Yang said, “It’s also because they were attracted to each other. I just added a little fuel to the fire.”

Zhao Yuxin smiled and said, “Now it’s great. Dad will have someone to look after him. He won’t be all alone anymore. I used to feel sorry for him being alone on holidays when I wasn’t with him. It weighed on my heart. Just like last year when you and I went home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, although I called him, and he was smiling, I could still see loneliness and sadness in his eyes. Now, that won’t happen anymore. Even if I’m not with him, Ru Yan will be.”

Xu Yang nodded, “Yes, with Ru Yan by his side, his life will be better.”

Zhao Yuxin continued, “Hmph, now that woman Liu Yujuan should give up!”

She still hadn’t forgotten about Liu Yujuan’s attempt to reconcile with her dad.

After betraying him, so many years had passed, and yet she had the delusion of getting back together.

Soon, Zhao Hai and Zhou Ruyan served the dishes on the table.

The meal was exceptionally joyful for the family, full of happiness and warmth.

“Dad, Ru Yan, I won’t bother you two any longer, we’ll be going now, bye.”

After eating and resting for a while, Zhao Yuxin got ready to leave with Xu Yang.

“You little rascal.” Watching their retreating figures, Zhao Hai scolded with a smile.

In the Rolls-Royce.

“Husband, I’m so happy today. Let’s watch a movie. Since tomorrow is Saturday and we don’t have to work, it’s okay to sleep in and go to bed late,” Zhao Yuxin proposed cheerfully.

“Sure, you pick the movie,” Xu Yang naturally had no objections.

In fact, he and Zhao Yuxin had only watched a movie together twice, once at the premiere of “Panther” and another time when it officially released.

Other than that, they really hadn’t gone to the cinema together.

He had neglected that.

Last time, he was considering watching classic films at home and was about to buy a video membership, almost getting fleeced by the video website.

Fortunately, his wife was aware of the scheme and they avoided being scammed.

Last time, he had also received information provided by the system to acquire a copyright company.

“Okay,” Zhao Yuxin immediately took out her phone to check, quickly choosing the latest movie to be released, “Let’s go to the cinema closest to our house.”

“Sure,” Xu Yang had no objections.

Zhao Yuxin gave the address, and Xu Yang immediately set the navigation.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the cinema.

After buying drinks and popcorn, the time had come, and they entered the movie theater.

Just as Xu Yang sat down in the theater, the notification sound from the system echoed in his mind.

[Ding! Directed by Wen Muye and starring Xu Zhen, the movie “I Am Not the God of Medicine” will start production in two months and, after its release, will gross thirty-five billion, becoming the annual box office champion. The script of “I Am Not the God of Medicine,” along with the cast list and various detailed materials, has been sent to your email. Please check!]

Xu Yang’s eyes lit up.

Knowing the director and the lead actor, having the script, the cast list, and various materials.

All he had to do was find this Wen Muye and have him cast Xu Zhen and the others, and he could start shooting right away.

He could completely take the initiative with this movie.

It was only because he was in the cinema that he didn’t open his email right away to check out the script for the movie.

A script for a movie that garnered thirty-five billion in box office surely couldn’t be ordinary.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Xu Yang and his wife enjoyed a movie together.

After the movie, Zhao Yuxin said she wanted to get a late-night snack and mentioned how she missed the barbecues on the street near their school.

Xu Yang didn’t hesitate and took Zhao Yuxin to the barbecue street near their school.

When the Rolls-Royce Cullinan stopped at the entrance of the street, it caused continuous screams.

“Holy shit, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan!”

“Damn, which tycoon is here for barbecue?”

“Must be some rich second generation coming to hit on girls at our school.”

“Definitely, every day there’s a luxury car parked at the entrance of the school, picking up pretty female students.”

“I’m still single, and these bastards are flaunting their wealth to steal girlfriends from me, it’s infuriating!”

“It is infuriating. Once I graduate and make money, I’ll do the same and pick up pretty college girls.”

Amidst the chatter, Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin got out of the car.

Ignoring the gazes of the crowd, Zhao Yuxin, arm-in-arm with Xu Yang, arrived at a barbecue stall.

Pang Brother’s Barbecue.

“Pang Brother, give us ten skewers of lamb, ten skewers of squid, five chicken wings, five cilantro, five Chinese cabbage, two eggplants…”

Zhao Yuxin ordered the barbecue with familiarity.

What to eat had already been decided in the car.

This barbecue store was a place she and her classmates often visited.

Xu Yang, however, had never been there before.

“Right away, please wait a moment,” said the stout owner, who after a quick glance at Zhao Yuxin widened his eyes and exclaimed, “Eh, are you Zhao Yuxin?”

Zhao Yuxin smiled, “Yes, it’s me, Pang Brother. I felt like having your barbecue today, so I came over. I didn’t expect you to still remember me.”

“Of course, I remember,” the stout owner said. “You used to come here often for barbecue, and you were one of our prettiest customers. I thought I would never see you again after your graduation, but you still remembered my barbecue. This must be your boyfriend, huh? He’s quite handsome and sharp-looking—a great catch in your eyes.”

He then addressed Xu Yang, “Young man, Zhao Yuxin was known as the campus belle at Jiangcheng University. Countless male students pursued her, but she never accepted any of them. You are fortunate to have her as your girlfriend.”

Zhao Yuxin laughed, “Pang Brother, he’s not my boyfriend.”

The stout owner was taken aback, “If he’s not your boyfriend with how close you two are, then what’s the situation?”

He was somewhat baffled.
