Chapter 29: The Movie Star's Forced Kiss
"That's right. I also advised your father not to resign, but he insisted, wasting such a good opportunity," Lu Xiaoxue said with the same regret.
"Shut up, what's it to you?" Mo Xunhuan retorted to Lu Xiaoxue without any politeness.
Lu Xiaoxue immediately wilted and lowered her head dejectedly.
Han Xiyue smiled slightly upon seeing this scene. Although she was chatting with Lu Qingqing, her eyes remained fixed on Mo Xunhuan.
Similarly, Mo Xunhuan deliberately avoided her gaze and looked out the window.
Wow, it's KFC!
Suddenly, the car passed a KFC store, and Lu Qingqing exclaimed excitedly.
"Are you hungry?" Han Xiyue asked with concern.
"Hmm, I'm hungry. We haven't had lunch yet~" Lu Qingqing swallowed and stared straight at that direction.
"parking!"
Han Xiyue decisively stopped the car and instructed her assistant, "Go buy some food, Kengjiji!"
"Okay, Sister Xiyue, what should we buy?"
"Buy one for each of them; they're a family of three! You can only buy more, not less."
"Yes."
Upon hearing Han Xiyue's words, Lu Xiaoxue immediately became anxious, "Oh dear, how could we accept this? How could we let you, senior, invite us?"
"I'm your senior, so it's only right that I treat you. But I don't know what you'd like to eat, so why don't you bring your child and my assistant to go and have a look?" Han Xiyue suggested.
"Okay, okay, I want to go!" Lu Qingqing cheered excitedly.
"Alright then!" Lu Xiaoxue immediately stood up.
As the car door opened, the assistant got out first. Lu Xiaoxue was about to get out when Mo Xunhuan grabbed her arm.
"I'll go check it out. You stay in the car and chat with your senior." Lu Xiaoxue winked at Mo Xunhuan, then got out of the car with her daughter.
Seeing his daughter and wife leave him, Mo Xunhuan frowned and tried to get up and get out of the car, but the car door closed prematurely.
Of course, it was Han Xiyue who closed the door. Now there were only the two of them in the car, and the driver in the front seat had also gotten out to smoke.
After closing the car door, Han Xiyue turned around, raised her hand to brush a strand of hair behind her ear, smiled gently at Mo Xunhuan, and walked over to sit beside him.
"Long time no see, you still look...so handsome, so charming~" Without the disturbance of outsiders, Han Xiyue no longer pretended, looking at Mo Xunhuan's profile with gentle yet passionate eyes.
Faced with the ambiguous greeting from the national film emperor, Mo Xunhuan, who should have felt excited and honored, remained cold and did not even glance at the other party.
"You too, you're doing better and better. You dress well, eat well, live well, and you're getting better and better looking. You used to be called a pretty face, but now you've become a talented idol and movie star."
It sounded like sarcastic mockery, but the words were full of praise, making Han Xiyue feel a little embarrassed.
"I thought you were going to scold me again, so I'm not used to you praising me like this."
"Hmph, that's because I've let go of it now. I've forgotten everything about the past with you, so naturally I won't curse you anymore," Mo Xunhuan said with a cold snort.
Upon hearing this, Han Xiyue frowned and grabbed Mo Xunhuan's wrist. "I don't believe it. I don't believe you would forget me. You're lying."
"Let go, let go of me!" Just by having his wrist grabbed, Mo Xunhuan was like a startled rabbit, immediately getting up and struggling desperately.
However, his struggles only spurred the strong-willed Han Xiyue into action, who then pulled him into her arms.
The sudden collision felt like two hearts colliding, and as their eyes met, their emotions intertwined in an instant.
"You say you forgot? Then why did you come to see my movie, especially during my promotional tour?"
"It's just a coincidence. You should know that today is your roadshow. I'm not coming. Let me go!" Mo Xunhuan struggled in her arms.
"A coincidence?" Han Xiyue chuckled, pinching his chin with one hand, and said, "If this is truly a coincidence, then it's fate deliberately orchestrating it, fate wanting us to see each other again. Xunhuan, do you know that I've been thinking of you all these years? My love for you has never changed."
"Oh, really? You're really something. Should I feel honored? Pah! Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I don't go online? There are so many news stories about you and other male celebrities online."
Faced with Mo Xunhuan's sarcasm, Han Xiyue frowned and hurriedly explained, "Those are all publicity stunts. Those male celebrities are just trying to ride my coattails, deliberately creating hype on their own. Have you ever seen me admit to dating anyone? Have you ever seen me actively creating hype for anyone? I haven't. For you, I even refused to film kissing scenes. That was a request you made to me back in college, and I've always remembered it and kept it."
"What's the point of saying all this? I'm already married, and my kids are old enough to run errands." Mo Xunhuan pushed her away and got up to leave.
Han Xiyue quickly grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.
"You still want... um..."
Before Mo Xunhuan could question her, Han Xiyue silenced him with a kiss that was both awkward and passionate.
The kiss had been so long since they last kissed that they had almost forgotten when it was, only having vague memories of it.
This guy...
Faced with the domineering Han Xiyue, Mo Xunhuan raised his hand to try to push her away, but she grabbed his hand and pressed it to her chest.
For a moment, Mo Xunhuan was in a daze. Even though he didn't want to admit it, Han Xiyue's charm was just too great.
The next second, Lu Xiaoxue, who had just bought KFC, opened the car door and saw Mo Xunhuan and Han Xiyue sitting opposite each other, looking down at their phones.
"Senior, we've bought them." Lu Xiaoxue got into the car carrying two large bags, while Lu Qingqing behind her was eating a hamburger.
The aroma of fried chicken filled the car, instantly whetting one's appetite.
"It smells so good, it's making me a little hungry." Han Xiyue put away her phone and brushed a strand of hair behind her ear as she spoke.
"Eat if you're hungry. I know you're a celebrity and need to be careful about your diet, so I specially bought you a vegetable and chicken burger." Lu Xiaoxue handed the burger to her solicitously.
"Thank you, would you like some?" Han Xiyue smiled as she took the hamburger and then handed it to Mo Xunhuan.
"Senior, you can eat it yourself. I know Xunhuan's taste; he likes spicy beef burgers with strong flavors." Lu Xiaoxue handed him the burger she had specially bought for Mo Xunhuan.
Faced with the hamburgers offered by the two women at the same time, Mo Xunhuan did not hesitate and took the hamburger from Lu Xiaoxue and started eating.
"See, I told you so. We've been married for so many years, of course I know his tastes." Lu Xiaoxue looked at Han Xiyue and chuckled, her smile innocent yet somewhat forced.
