Chapter 1075: He Acted as Though He Had Caught His Wife Cheating
The movie started. This was an animated film known as ‘Adventure King’ that was very popular among children and it was the third installment of the series. At least one-third of the audience in the theatre were children and most of the adults were parents who brought their children to watch the movie.
Yuan Yuan and Xi Xi were completely engrossed in the movie and they would even burst into peals of laughter occasionally.
He Xiyan did not enjoy watching such films and as she watched the film, she almost fell asleep while watching the movie.
The movie was about seven children going on an adventure and these children would travel across time to explore the world. This time, they had traveled more than 70 million years back in time to the Cretaceous period when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
The moment they arrived, they found themselves being hunted by voracious meat-eating dinosaurs. The graphics were intense and exciting, and one wouldn’t be able to tear one’s eyes away from the screen.
“Run! Run!” Many children were so engrossed in this film that they started shouting at the theatre. Xi Xi was no exception. She was so excited that she had jumped to her feet.
He Xiyan gently closed her eyes and was about to drift off to sleep. She had been so worried about being infected by that terrible disease that she had not been able to sleep. Instead, she had spent her time reading up on the disease.
Mo Yixuan who sat two seats away would occasionally turn to look at his ex-wife and two children. He noticed that Yan Yan didn’t seem to be in good spirits. She had already fallen asleep even though they were only less than 20 minutes into the show.
The movie was 130 minutes along and He Xiyan was awakened by her daughter after the movie ended.
“Mom, we’re going home,” Xi Xi said as she tugged on her mother’s clothes.
He Xiyan rubbed at her eyes and felt as though everything in front of her seemed like a blur. It was awhile before her vision sharpened.
She rose to her feet and took her daughter’s hand in hers.
Everyone else had left the movie theatre, so they were the last ones to leave.
The four of them took the lift to the first floor. There weren’t many customers left in the mall because it was already 10 PM at night and the shop a.s.sistants were also packing up for the day.
He Xiyan was so tired that she felt faint and dizzy. She walked very slowly and lagged behind Mo Yixuan and Yuan Yuan by at least seven or eight meters.
She suddenly felt someone grab her left hand. She stopped and turned to see the person she found extremely annoying.
“Ye…” she started to say. However, before she could call his name, Xi Xi was already jumping in excitement.
“Dad…” Xi Xi let go of her mother’s hand and hopped up to her father like an excited bunny.
Ye Hao pulled his daughter to his side while he continued to hold He Xiyan’s hand tightly with his other hand.
She clenched her jaw and tried to pull her hand from his grip but his grip tightened even more around her.
“Yan Yan, why did you let my child go out with Mo Yixuan?” Ye Hao asked in agitation. His face was flushed and he looked very angry, as though he had just caught his wife having an affair.
He Xiyan’s brows arched and she looked at Ye Hao like she was looking at an alien. She wished she could kick him away.
He was behaving like a madman.
“This is none of your business. Let me go!” He Xiyan was sick of this man. She had nothing to do with him, so she was free to go out with whoever she wished.
Ye Hao pulled He Xiyan toward him.
She was already in low spirits and didn’t have much energy left, so she stumbled when he tugged at her and fell into his arms.
