Chapter 379: Watching a movie

As Gu Ruochu walked by, An Duo could not resist the urge to mock her. "Ruochu, I admire your endurance. Ning Tangxi embarrassed you at the cocktail party, yet you still came to the company to show off your love for Nanchen. Don't you think that you're a joke?

"Don't tell me that you don't see the position Ning Tangxi and her child hold in his heart. If I were you, I would have let go long ago. Isn't your relationship meaningless?"

Gu Ruochu stood still. She turned around to look at her. "When it comes to endurance, I can't compare to you. After all, the man you love is your brother's best friend. You can only hide your love in your heart. I think you're a joke."

An Duo's heart tightened, and she stared angrily at Gu Ruochu.

Gu Ruochu spoke in a calm tone, but her words pierced An Duo's heart.

"You know everything about Huo Nanchen's life, but you don't mess around with him. It's more convenient for Nanchen to marry you than to marry the daughter of a rich family because you're very obedient and don't cause trouble. At the end of the day, Master Huo has a good eye," An Duo's said sarcastically. Gu Ruochu's words had left her feeling humiliated.

"No. You think too highly of me. Not all things can be solved by messing around with a man. I have other ways.

"Besides..." Gu Ruochu added, "the reason why I did not argue with Ning Tangxi is that I don't want to interfere in Huo Nanchen's affairs. Love is a matter between two people and has nothing to do with anyone else. Even if there's a problem, it should be left to both sides to figure it out."

Gu Ruochu was now used to the ups and downs in her relationship with Huo Nanchen. She knew that if she loved him too much, she would only get hurt. All she wanted was to live her life in peace and happiness.

However, Gu Ruochu still felt a sense of loss when she thought about their relationship.

After finishing her sentence, Gu Ruochu turned around and left.

An Duo stood rooted to the spot as she thought about Gu Ruochu's words. She felt that Gu Ruochu too arrogant even though she came from an ordinary background. Nevertheless, her words always struck a nerve.

In the days that followed, Ruochu went to bed early every night. She did not pay much attention to Huo Nanchen. Perhaps, it was because she was tired after filming her movie, which was now almost complete.

Over the next few days, Gu Ruochu was busy working on the movie. As for Huo Nanchen, he had asked Lu Fang to contact a doctor overseas to help Cheng Xi heal his broken arm.

The child had gone through several difficult situations at such a young age. Huo Nanchen believed that Ning Tangxi was an unreliable mother, although he also blamed himself for Cheng Xi's bad luck.

After a busy few days, Gu Ruochu finally had some free time to relax. She decided to read one of her favorite magazines to pass the time. When Huo Nanchen returned home, he saw her sitting on the sofa in a laid back manner.

"Ruochu, let's go watch a movie. We've never gone to a movie together." Huo Nanchen had bought some movie tickets. Gu Ruochu glanced at the name of the movie on the tickets. It was a recently released movie titled, 'The Invisible Guest.'

"Why do you want us to go out and watch a movie? We have a home theater installed, right? Do we have to go out and watch it so far away?"

Huo Nanchen placed one hand on the back of the sofa and slowly leaned forward towards her. His voice was hoarse as he said, "I'm going to take a shower and watch a movie with you. Don't you filmmakers like to watch movies?"

Gu Ruochu always watched movies when she was in the bedroom. Her heart and mind were always captivated when she was watching the movies that she even ignored Huo Nanchen.

Gu Ruochu wondered if he was angry with her.

"Since you're so kind to me, of course, I'll go." Gu Ruochu went to get up, but Huo Nanchen swiftly lifted her from the sofa.
