Chapter 1422: Chapter 1423: Want to Ask Her to Watch a Movie on Qixi Festival

Li Shengxiao finished signing the last document brought by Gu Ming in the office, laid down his pen, and lifted his head from the busy work to ask, “Which movie is good to watch recently? Help me buy two tickets for seven-thirty.”

“You want to watch a movie?” Gu Ming, surprised, then realized, today seemed to be Chinese Valentine’s Day. He had heard many female colleagues discussing the gifts they received while he was making coffee in the pantry during the lunch break, and he had thought it might be a festival like Women’s Day. Only now did he belatedly realize that today was indeed the lunar July 7th, the day for lovers.

As a perennial single, he was accustomed to spending every holiday working overtime. It was only with a sudden face full of dog food that he realized he seemed to be the only single person left!

Gu Ming, who suddenly found himself the only single dog around, felt somewhat uncomfortable, but still said, “There is a romance movie that recently premiered and is doing well at the box office. Do you want to go see it, Mr. Li?”

Li Shengxiao’s deep and bottomless dark pupils were enigmatic as he flexed his fingers on the table, seemingly pondering something.

Romance movies… He hadn’t seen her watch similar movies before. She seemed more interested in game-based movies than romances.

Lately, she appeared to be playing a shooting game.

“Are there any spy or action movies?”

Gu Ming: “…”

Mr. Li, on a day meant for romance, was planning to take Miss Rong to watch an action movie?

Unable to understand this approach, he paused before saying, “I don’t know about action films, but there’s a mystery movie with good reviews that’s also showing.”

Li Shengxiao raised his eyelids, his demeanor deep and elegant, and said indifferently, “Then let’s book that.”

Gu Ming: “Mr. Li, should I book the mystery movie seats?”

Li Shengxiao frowned at him as if doubting his comprehension. Gu Ming, feeling stifled by his gaze, decided to stop talking and whispered, “I will go book it right away.”

“Well then, Mr. Li, I will go out now. After I’ve booked the tickets, I will send them along with the address to your phone.”

While speaking, he earnestly left the office and dutifully pulled the office door closed behind him.

Once the office had returned to quietness.

The man leaning against the swivel chair pursed his thin lips, picked up the steaming hot coffee, and took another sip. The rich bitterness of the coffee was followed by the sweetness of flavoring and cube sugar, warming up along with his stomach…

Surrounded by the hazy steam, his slender fingers were as beautiful as a painting, and his sharp features were even more handsome and noble.

“Ding ding.”

A text message was sent at this moment.

Li Shengxiao put down his cup and picked up the mobile phone beside him. The message was from Gu Ming, containing two movie ticket QR codes and the address of the cinema. Gu Ming was very meticulous in his work, having specifically chosen a cinema close to Bright Starry Sky. It was convenient for Mr. Li to drive there to pick someone up after work and watch a movie together.

He took a screenshot of the movie information on his phone and forwarded it to the chat with [Little Demon Rong].

After sending it, there was no response from the other end for two minutes. He guessed she was likely too busy to check her phone, so he simply closed his laptop, got up, grabbed the coat draped over the chairback, and picked up the car keys from the desk, striding out…

“Buzz buzz—”

Just as he reached the underground parking lot and opened the car door, his phone suddenly vibrated. Li Shengxiao got into the car, his thin lips curving slightly, in a good mood as he answered the phone. He thought it was Rong Yan calling after seeing the message, but the caller ID turned out to be Su Yi.
