After Time Traveling, I was Forced to Marry a Wealthy Family

The window in the lounge was half open, a cool breeze blew in, and the moon-white curtains were floating, almost transparent.

Mu Ci raised his hand to wipe away his tears and turned his head indifferently. He would rather die than lose face in front of Gu Huai. An adult being so scared to tears in a haunted house was a bit embarrassing to share with anyone.

“Why are you being shy with me?” Gu Huai couldn’t help but pull Mu Ci’s hand away from his face. “Let me see what you look like while crying.”

People around them were a little surprised, finding them very affectionate. However, they had never seen two people so handsome. The announcer thought Gu Huai looked familiar and took a second look, realizing he was the head of Hanhai Group. She vaguely remembered that the Gu family also had shares in this amusement park.

Damn it, the little girl cursed in her heart. The majority shareholder’s little wife came here to play happily but was so frightened that he cried. What if Mr. Gu got angry and expelled everyone in this circle?

Unexpectedly, Gu Huai wasn’t very angry. He turned around and smiled at them, saying, “This is my fiancée. It’s his first time in a place like this, so he’s not used to it. I’m sorry.”

Gu Huai deliberately maintained an amiable image in front of Mu Ci. His friendly tone contrasted sharply with the fact that he had recently crippled someone else’s leg without blinking.

The group of people was flattered, “No, no, you are so polite. It’s our duty to scare people, but sometimes we use too much force, and people end up crying a few times every day.”

Gu Huai smiled and nodded, but felt a bit frustrated inside: ‘You claim it’s scary, yet why design the haunted house terrain so complicated?’

Given Mu Ci’s scared appearance, if they hadn’t accidentally separated, he might have escorted the beauty back home!

Gu Huai sighed and turned to Mu Ci, “It’s still early. Do you want to play more?”

Mu Ci trembled and shook his head desperately.

His heart was like a blank piece of paper, easily affected by the slightest fright. Once bitten by a snake, he would fear the rope for ten years. It seemed Mu Ci wouldn’t willingly step into an amusement park for a long time.

Despite this, it was still early, and Gu Huai had finally brought Mu Ci out to play. Naturally, he didn’t want to go back so soon.

Recalling the love advice, he had gathered online, Gu Huai suggested, “How about we go see a movie?”

Mu Ci looked up, feeling a bit excited again, “Is it like the ones mentioned in newspapers, where the movie feels real?”

Gu Huai guessed he meant a 3D movie, so he nodded with a smile, “You want to watch that? Why didn’t you mention it earlier?”

Mu Ci pursed his lips, remaining silent.

Gu Huai, realizing the unique dynamics between them, couldn’t help but smile to himself. They weren’t a typical couple; in Mu Ci’s heart, he was likely still seen as an adversary, or at best, a distasteful person. How could Mu Ci take the initiative to ask him to go to a movie?

The inexplicable bitterness in Gu Huai’s heart gradually emerged, but his expression remained unchanged, still smiling calmly. “Then let’s go now, and ask Bai Ling to arrange it later and book a place for us.”

The little prince Mu, not a fan of the being all alone with Gu Huai, hesitated for a moment. “I don’t want to watch it on TV. Can’t we want to watch it together with other people?”

Gu Huai was momentarily surprised, then smiled. “Of course, I will listen to you.”

With that sentence, decisions on which cinema to go to and which movie to watch were all in Mu Ci’s hands.

.

Mu Ci looked over the movie list and settled on one with a particularly beautiful poster, featuring an American boy with bright eyes and golden sideburns that looked extremely cute.

Gu Huai, not paying attention to the movie introduction, assumed it was some kind of Western family warmth film. He turned around, bought drinks and snacks for Mu Ci, and led him into the screening room.

Entering a cinema for the first time, Mu Ci was curious about everything around him. Gu Huai helped him adjust his seat and, with the cinema’s air conditioner on low, even took off his coat to put it on Mu Ci. He whispered something intimately into Mu Ci’s ear, causing his ears to turn red, and the young man hid from him uncomfortably.

Gu Huai chuckled nonchalantly before sitting back, and the movie started at that moment.

Initially, the movie seemed quite normal, telling the story of an American woman who divorced her husband and made a living on her own with an eight-year-old child.

This aligned with Gu Huai’s initial assumption that it was likely a family film.

But something went wrong later on. The heroine remarried and the boy got a stepfather. The stepfather actually took advantage of the heroine’s business trip to molest and sexually assault the boy inhumanely.

Gu Huai clicked his tongue, opened his phone and took a look at the movie’s synopsis. Later in the movie, a young policeman with a sense of justice would appear, investigating the case of a boy being sexually assaulted, protecting the boy, and sending the bastard stepfather to prison – it seemed to be an anti-child sexual abuse film, similar to The Melting Pot and Sowon.

This type of movie was usually a tear-jerking movie. Gu Huai was a little worried that Mu Ci might be too moved and cry, so he turned to look at him.

There were no lights in the screening room, and the movie’s reflection on Mu Ci’s face gave him an inexplicable and bizarre feeling. Mu Ci didn’t cry, but he was trembling; his eyes were wide open, and he seemed caught in some kind of fear.

Gu Huai glanced at the big screen, where a little boy was being held by his stepfather, touching his face and talking.

In fact, this shot was very obscure, but they all knew what would happen next.
