In the movie theater.
Lu Yan had already bought the tickets when the movie started.
Although it was an action movie, it was actually a love movie in disguise, after all, today was Qixi Festival.
Lu Yan held Ao Ming's hand, glanced at the seat number on the ticket, and prepared to walk towards the center.
"Why don't we go to the second floor?"
Ao Ming suggested softly.
The movie theater was not full, probably only two-thirds full.
"Good."
Lu Yan understood what Ao Ming meant.
As an assassin, it was a habit to avoid crowded places.
The seats on the second floor were obviously less crowded, not even half full.
After a while.
Lu Yan led Ao Ming to the second floor.
Since it wasn't full, they could sit wherever they wanted, as long as they had tickets.
"Let's sit there."
Ao Ming scanned the area and naturally chose a spot in the back corner.
"Okay."
Soon, the two were sitting in that corner.
Not far from them were two other couples.
The plot of the movie was simple, about the love-hate relationship between a male policeman and a female assassin, but the fights were very exciting.
Lu Yan was eating popcorn and watching the movie, and realized that he hadn't done this in a long time.
When he was a child, whenever his father returned from vacation, he would take his mother and him to watch movies, a rare time for the family to spend together.
His father said he met his mother in a movie theater.
His mother had lost her wallet, which contained important things. Later, she met his father, who, with the spirit of a soldier, helped her find it for a long time before he finally found it.
"What are you thinking about?"
Ao Ming occasionally glanced at Lu Yan, seeing a smile on his handsome face that she couldn't understand, and the movie's plot wasn't funny.
"Thinking about my parents."
Lu Yan didn't hide it.
"I see."
Ao Ming nodded, realizing that Lu Yan had never mentioned his parents.
The information Ao Ming had obtained showed that Lu Yan had lost his parents and was an orphan.
Subconsciously, Ao Ming grabbed Lu Yan's hand.
"I'm fine."
Lu Yan felt the warmth from Ao Ming's hand and handed her the popcorn, saying, "Have some, you won't get fat."
"Okay."
Ao Ming hesitated for a moment before taking a handful.
A mouthful of popcorn, a sip of soda, happiness like a fairy!
This was one of the happiest times for Lu Yan when he was a child.
"Want a sip?"
Lu Yan handed his Coke to Ao Ming's mouth.
This time, Ao Ming didn't hesitate at all, she took a big gulp and couldn't help but laugh. She never thought she would have a day like this.
At this moment, she felt like she was truly a couple with Lu Yan.
Unconsciously, half of the movie was already over.
The atmosphere in the movie theater started to change, especially as the interaction between the male and female leads became more intense, such as kiss scenes, and even bed scenes, causing the couples in the theater to have ideas and actions.
The couple not far from Lu Yan and Ao Ming had already started making out.
Even the couple further away was more exaggerated, the woman was sitting on top of the man.
Although Ao Ming had never been in a relationship, as an assassin, she still knew what those couples were doing, but she didn't expect anyone to enjoy such a thrill.
Unconsciously, Ao Ming's grip on Lu Yan's hand tightened a little.
Lu Yan couldn't help but smile in his heart.
Choosing to watch a movie on Qixi Festival was simply not suitable.
"Lu Yan, do you like me?"
Suddenly, Ao Ming leaned close to Lu Yan's ear and asked softly, only the two of them could hear.
Lu Yan was taken aback, this direct question caught him off guard.
However.
Lu Yan's response was to simply kiss her.
But Lu Yan didn't go deeper, it was like a dragonfly skimming the water.
"I'll go."
Ao Ming stood up.
"Alright."
Lu Yan held Ao Ming's hand and left quickly.
After leaving the movie theater, Ao Ming took a deep breath, the air outside was better, and she made a decision.
"Let's go across the street."
Ao Ming pulled Lu Yan towards the other side of the street.
It was a five-star hotel.
...
An hour passed.
In the luxurious presidential suite.
The floor was covered with scarlet rose petals, creating a romantic atmosphere.
On the comfortable big bed, Ao Ming curled up in Lu Yan's arms, like a little kitten. Her usually cold and pretty face was flushed with a hint of shyness.
"Thank you."
Ao Ming looked up at Lu Yan, she couldn't believe how thoughtful this man was.
She was clear that in the movie theater, Lu Yan could have taken her, but he didn't. He was clearly giving her the perfect first experience.
Lu Yan didn't say anything, he just kissed Ao Ming's forehead.
If a woman was willing to give herself to him, he would naturally be good to her.
Lu Yan always felt that love was mutual.
One-sided demands would inevitably lead to problems.
"It's almost the next day."
Ao Ming changed the subject and said meaningfully.
"I'll be leaving for a while tomorrow."
Lu Yan didn't understand what Ao Ming was saying, he responded a bit off topic.
"I'll protect Xiao Hui."
Ao Ming said seriously: "But can I tell Xiao Hui about us myself?"
"Okay."
Lu Yan didn't plan to hide it from Song Xiao Hui. Since Ao Ming wanted to face it herself, Lu Yan had no reason to refuse.
"Let's do it again, then we'll go back."
Before she finished speaking, Ao Ming rolled over.
...
At night.
There was half an hour left until midnight.
Song Xiao Hui was still in her room, waiting for Lu Yan to come back.
This was their first Qixi Festival, Song Xiao Hui didn't want to miss it, but she was very understanding and didn't think about calling Lu Yan to urge him or anything.
Or rather, Song Xiao Hui trusted Lu Yan.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lu Yan's voice came from behind her.
Song Xiao Hui immediately perked up, a fragrance of flowers filled her nose.
"For you, Happy Qixi Festival!"
Lu Yan came behind Song Xiao Hui, one hand wrapped around her waist, the other hand holding an extremely large bouquet of red roses in front of her.
No more, no less, exactly nine hundred and ninety-nine roses!
Nine nine nine!
Song Xiao Hui didn't say anything, she turned and kissed him.
...
The next day.
Hong Kong Island Hotel.
On this day, the grand ballroom was chartered by a mysterious wealthy businessman. They chartered it for a week and prohibited anyone from approaching. There were also countless security personnel around.
At this moment, the grand ballroom was filled with computers, counting them, there were more than one hundred and fifty.
Those who didn't know might think it was a stock exchange.
Lu Yan was sitting at the innermost computer, displaying the data panel for the US stock market that was about to open.
All the high-level members of Yanlong Car Repair Shop were present, each bringing two elite stock market traders. They couldn't bring more.
This matter had to be kept secret.
No one could leave for a week.
Eating, drinking, sleeping, everything had to be done in the hotel.
This included Lu Yan and all the high-level members.
Their goal was to invest one billion US dollars and make ten billion US dollars from the US stock market.
Although they could make more, there was no need. They had to prevent the capital tycoons in the United States from noticing.
Hong Kong's current capital was simply no match for the United States's.
Make a profit, it's a profit, it's better to make small profits multiple times than to be greedy and make big profits, which is easy to get into trouble.
