Chapter 479: Even 2G Internet Should Keep Up With the Times
"Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong"
Boss Cutie
"Do you know which hall it's in?" Father Leng called out to stop her.
Xiang Shan looked at Father Leng in confusion. "Which?"
"Over here, you went the wrong way. You didn't know and you didn't even ask me!" Father Leng pointed at the path on the other side, correcting Xiang Shan.
Xiang Shan glared at Father Leng, still maintaining her Queen-like aura. "Why didn't you say so earlier."
Her high heels carried a swagger; she wasn't giving an inch, and even made Father Leng lead the way.
Father Leng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he wasn't angry.
He even felt that this female CEO who was usually so fierce and domineering was actually quite adorably tsundere underneath.
Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli held hands behind them, watching the two walk and secretly smiling.
"I finally know who you inherited your muddleheadedness from." Jiang Muye whispered into Leng Ruoli's ear. "You got it from your mom."
"Careful, or I'll go complain to my mom right now." Leng Ruoli huffed.
"Go ahead. That way your mom can hate me even more, and maybe she'll like your dad even more." Jiang Muye didn't seem to care.
Leng Ruoli burst out laughing. "That's actually great."
"Still, I'll be as patient as your dad." Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli clasped hands, swinging them like little kids, sweet as could be. "When you throw a tantrum at me, although I can't promise not to get angry at all, I'll definitely learn from your dad and give in to you."
"Hey, then you better keep your word."
"Just watch me." The corner of Jiang Muye's mouth curved up. "I rarely go back on my word."
The corners of Leng Ruoli's mouth curved into an arc. She leaned against Jiang Muye's shoulder, clinging to him like a koala, letting Jiang Muye drag her along.
The two of them quickly found their seats.
But then Xiang Shan noticed something was off.
"No, what are you two doing sitting in the couples' seats in the back?" Xiang Shan looked at Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli, who were sitting two rows back, in confusion.
She was clearly a bit reluctant.
Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli had long anticipated that Xiang Shan would say this, and instinctively said to her, "There were no seats left in the front, so we had no choice but to pick the couples' seats."
Leng Ruoli chimed in, "Dad, you have to take good care of Mom, okay."
Father Leng said confidently, "Leave this one thing to me."
"I'm not a child, do I need you to take care of me?" Xiang Shan snorted with disdain.
"You may not be a child, but you're a girl, and I want to take care of you." The sweet talk Father Leng normally wouldn't say, he was using it all now.
This made Xiang Shan especially surprised.
Especially after hearing his deep, magnetic voice, Xiang Shan's face grew hot.
She immediately remembered the scene of going to the movies with him when they were young.
He had praised her like this back then too. Although it was very straight-laced, he would still say some sweet things.
Back then she had been utterly smitten with him, actively chasing after him. Being able to watch a movie with her crush, she couldn't even focus on the film, her body tense with excitement and nervousness.
She had even been hoping on the spot that in the dark she might be able to hold hands with her crush, maybe even share a little kiss, but it was just a pity that nothing happened.
Fortunately, afterward, she still managed to win over her crush with her own personal charm.
That scene seemed like it had happened just yesterday.
Immersed in the beautiful scenes of the past, a faint smile crossed Xiang Shan's face.
"So corny." Xiang Shan teased, but inside she was blooming with joy.
"How is it corny? I'm very serious. It's fine, fine, just stating the facts." Father Leng didn't blush or skip a beat when he said this.
After all, he was chasing his wife—what was there to be embarrassed about?
Anyway, saying a few sweet words and managing to woo his wife back, that was a huge win!
"Alright, we're sitting with them." Xiang Shan said to Father Leng.
Father Leng let out an "Ah" of surprise. "What's going on? Those are couples' seats!"
The two kids had created a nice space for them to spend time together—how could he let those two kids down?
Besides, Father Leng also wanted a little privacy. Heh heh, in the dark he could hold Xiang Shan's little hand.
"Oh, I know they're couples' seats. What's wrong, you feel uncomfortable sitting there? I just think the front row seats are too uncomfortable, the chairs are too stiff. The sofa in the back is better." Xiang Shan gave Father Leng a sidelong glance, then with a tsundere air headed toward the back row.
Father Leng had been a bit disappointed, but after hearing Xiang Shan's words, he caught on.
He ran excitedly to the back row. "Coming!"
Watching him dash up eagerly, Xiang Shan felt very pleased.
The two of them sat back down in the back row, which left Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli completely dumbfounded.
What had happened? They had arranged for the two of them to spend time together up front, so that they themselves could also be lovey-dovey.
Who would have thought Xiang Shan would come back now.
Jiang Muye was full of resentment, and he and Leng Ruoli looked at each other.
Leng Ruoli shrugged and sighed.
Both of them knew very well that Xiang Shan still had her boundaries with Father Leng.
Father Leng, on the other hand, was all smiles, as if he didn't seem to care at all about Xiang Shan changing seats.
Jiang Muye looked at Father Leng sympathetically.
Father-in-Law's mentality is really something. If it were me, I'd have exploded.
Sigh, if he can't win over his wife, what's Father-in-Law going to do?
Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli instinctively shook their heads, completely in sync as a couple.
There was no helping it now. They could only hope the atmosphere of the movie theater would influence the two of them.
The movie started, and Xiang Shan watched quite seriously, while Father Leng beside her kept asking with concern, "Do you want some popcorn? Want some iced lemon juice?"
Father Leng's eager attentiveness made Xiang Shan roll her eyes. "You're bothering my ears."
"Then I'll do immersive service." Father Leng said, word by word, very softly.
After hearing Father Leng's words, a rare smile appeared on Xiang Shan's face. "Where did you learn that? You know how to do this too?"
She had assumed Leng Qihua was on 2G internet.
"I know way more than you think. I know all the internet slang young people use now. Also, I can even play games!"
"Games?" Seeing Leng Qihua get all smug, Xiang Shan was a bit surprised. "You don't seem like someone who'd get into games."
Back in that era there were no online games—after all, very few households even had computers. Online games only came about later when the internet developed.
Leng Qihua had only ever done simple things on his phone before; he didn't seem like someone who would accept such trendy things.
"Of course I do! I play King-tier Player, the game young people love!" Father Leng started bragging. "I've even played with Muye before."
"Really?" Xiang Shan was astonished.
"Of course it's true." Father Leng excitedly rattled on, using some of the vocabulary he'd seen in news reports to educate Xiang Shan.
Xiang Shan nodded. "That's good, keeping up with the times."
Previously Xiang Shan had thought Leng Qihua was just working in isolation, but now she realized she knew too little about him, her impression even frozen in past memories.
It was time to refresh her impression of Leng Qihua.
Seeing that Xiang Shan's attitude toward him wasn't as cold as before, Father Leng was secretly delighted.
