I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

Gu Yan's lips twitched, but looking into those completely red eyes, she still reached out and supported her waist.

The girl's waist was very thin and soft; you could feel its suppleness even through her clothes.

He helped her up from his lap and helped her stand up, then stood up himself and stretched his numb legs.

Shen Youwei stood next to him, her hand still gripping his arm, as if afraid he would run away.

Gu Yan thought for a moment, then looked down at her completely red eyes, trying to keep her tone relaxed.

"Want to go see a movie? There's a new film that just came out, and I heard it's pretty good."

He was trying to distract Shen Youwei from those messy things.

This stalemate can't go on forever; a coffee shop isn't a place to linger.

Shen Youwei blinked, a glint of light flashing in her completely red eyes, as if she were considering the suggestion.

"Are we just going to the movies, just the two of us?"

Her tone held a hint of expectation as she lightly tapped his arm twice with her fingers.

Gu Yan quickly shook her head; the suggestion of "just the two of us" was too dangerous.

"No, there's her too, the three of us together."

He turned to look at Fu Wanqing, sending a distress signal with his eyes.

Fu Wanqing was still sitting opposite, completely dazed, holding the cup of coffee that had long since gone cold.

Her amber eyes widened as she looked at Shen Youwei and then at Gu Yan, her face filled with bewilderment.

When Gu Yan asked her to come along, her ears immediately burned, turning as red as if they were about to bleed.

She had never seen anything like it before: a girl sitting on a man's lap and kissing his eyes.

Then this man said he wanted to go see a movie and even asked her to come along. What kind of nonsense is this?

"I...I don't think it's appropriate for me to go. You guys go, I won't go."

Her voice was a little stammering, and she wasn't speaking as fast as usual; she was clearly nervous.

"I'll make you some soup when I get back. You can drink it when you come home tonight. I'll have it ready for you."

She was about to stand up as she spoke, as if she wanted to escape this awkward situation as soon as possible.

Gu Yan reached out and pressed her shoulder, pulling her back into the chair.

"I have to go. You saved my life, so it's only right that I treat you to a movie."

His tone was firm; he wasn't discussing it, he was issuing a notification.

Fu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, her ears turned even redder, and she stared at Gu Yan with her amber eyes for several seconds.

Then she lowered her head, her voice barely audible, like a mosquito's buzz.

"Well... okay, I'll go."

Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, a weight lifted from her heart.

He had a reason for bringing Fu Wanqing along; after all, she was a valuable asset.

Although it's unclear whether she's a villain or the female lead in the original story, her strength is undeniable.

He's an A-level superhuman, certified; he won't disappoint in a real fight.

Although I definitely can't beat Shen Youwei, at least I have a tiny bit more chance of winning if things go wrong.

Shen Youwei's personality is too unstable; her emotions change in an instant, and she might explode at any moment.

With Fu Wanqing by his side, at least she could help stop him, so he wouldn't have to bear the burden alone.

Moreover, Fu Wanqing is a member of the Fu family, so if anything happens, the Fu family's reputation can help to mitigate the damage.

Although he still doesn't understand Fu Wanqing's identity or stance.

But at least for now, this girl doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards him; in fact, she even saved his life.

Gu Yan took out her phone and started booking tickets, her fingers tapping rapidly on the screen.

"What movies are you looking for? Is there anything you want to watch?"

Shen Youwei leaned closer, her completely red eyes fixed on his phone screen.

"I'll watch whatever you choose; I won't be picky."

Her head rested on Gu Yan's shoulder, her long pink hair brushing against his neck, tickling him.

Fu Wanqing also came over, but kept a distance and didn't dare to get too close.

"I...I don't care, you guys can choose."

Her voice was still a little soft, and the redness at the base of her ears hadn't faded yet.

Gu Yan chose the highest-rated movie recently and booked three tickets for seats together.

He put his phone away, glanced at Shen Youwei, and then at Fu Wanqing.

"Let's go, the movie theater isn't far from here, only a ten-minute walk."

Shen Youwei nodded, still holding his arm, showing no intention of letting go.

Fu Wanqing stood up and followed behind them, keeping a step's distance.

Three law enforcement officers stood at the door, watching Gu Yan walk out with two girls.

The young law enforcement officer was about to say something when someone next to him grabbed him.

"Stop looking, let's wrap up."

The group turned and left, their footsteps fading into the distance.

Gu Yan walked in the middle, with Shen Youwei on his left arm and Fu Wanqing on his right, a step away.

The sunlight shone on the three people, casting long shadows on the ground.

When passersby occasionally walk by on the street, they can't help but take a second look.

A man was accompanied by two stunningly beautiful girls, one with cold, red eyes and the other with radiant pink hair.

This scene is so eye-catching, it's hard not to notice it.

Gu Yan felt those gazes, but he was used to it and his face remained expressionless.

He wasn't thinking about any of that right now; he was thinking about what to do once he got to the movie theater.

Will Shen Youwei cause any more trouble? Will Fu Wanqing be able to handle it?

And Shen Youyao, when will she be able to come out? How is she doing now?

......

When the three of them entered the screening room, Gu Yan sensed that something was wrong.

The entire hall was dark and quiet enough to hear the hum of the air conditioner running.

There were no other audience members' voices, no popcorn clicks, and no sound at all.

Shen Youwei walked ahead, arm in arm with him, her completely red eyes gleaming in the darkness.

Fu Wanqing followed behind them, still holding the half-finished Coke in her hand.

Gu Yan glanced around the entire screening room; rows of seats were neatly arranged and empty.

From the first row to the last row, there was no one else, only the three of them.

He paused for a moment, realizing something was wrong; when he booked the ticket, it showed there were still quite a few seats available.

How did it become a private event when we came in? Who did this?

As he was thinking, Shen Youwei pulled him towards the back row.

"Sit in the back, it's quiet there."

Her voice sounded exceptionally clear in the empty screening room, and even echoed.

Fu Wanqing followed them and sat down next to them, placing her cola in the cup holder on the armrest.

Gu Yan sat in the middle, with Shen Youwei on her left and Fu Wanqing on her right, just like in a coffee shop.

After the three people were seated, the lights in the screening room slowly dimmed until it was completely dark.

The big screen lit up, the dragon logo appeared, and the movie began.

Gu Yan leaned back in her chair, placed the popcorn on her lap, and prepared to enjoy a movie.

But as soon as the opening credits came on, his brows furrowed.

This wasn't the movie he chose; he chose a highly-rated action film.

The movie title displayed on the screen was one he had never seen before; something about the name itself seemed off.

Before he could think it through, the very first shot of the movie froze him in place.
