The first shows of the movie across the country were kept at the same time as the premiere so when the premiere show ended, Chyou and Yating and the entire film crew were already greeted with the onslaught of positive reviews from the audience.
From a distance, they could hear the screams and squeals of her fans, especially female fans who were all top stoked after watching the movie. Naturally, the reporters rushed to hear their opinion and everybody only had to say the same thing.
"Amazing, amazing, amazinggggg!"
"It was so damn beautiful!!" One of the fans cried. "I cannot decide which scene was my most favorite!"
"Why did Yelan have to dieeee?"
Yelan was Yating's character name in the movie.
"I thought this movie was a goner once Cheng Yin was removed and honestly, I didn't have any hopes for a rookie who didn't know acting but Gu Yating proved me wrong. He did a phenomenal job!"
"Yelan and Xiuying's chemistry was so amazing! They look so perfect together!"
"The walk in the garden scene was my most favorite! Queen looked so cute blushing in that. It didn't feel like acting at all!"
"I want Gu Yating to smile at meeeee. He has such beautiful expressions!"
"Queen Chyou was so amazing too! The last scene of when Xiuying conquered the kingdom with the scars on her body made me cry and more so because she didn't have her husband by her side to share her victory with..."
"Aahhh aahhhh Gu Yating is so handsome!"
The verdict of the movie was resoundingly clear. It was a massive hit. Accolades and praises flew from all directions. Director Murong basked in the appreciation with his prideful laughter echoing everywhere.
On the other side, Ai held Chyou's hands as tears shone in her eyes. Her heart was overwhelmed beyond words after watching the movie. "W-will you marry me Chyou?"
Yating's brow twitched.
"Ahahahaha! Of course I will-"
A karate chop landed on Ai's head with a dark aura seeping its way out of a certain jealous husband. "I guess you forgot the part where we got married."
Ai painfully rubbed the top of her head in grievance. "I didn't but I want Chyou too!"
"I am enough for you. Talk more nonsense and you will have it from me!" Jun bitterly said.
"Scolding your pregnant wife like this...heartless..."Ai murmured.
"..."
Chyou clicked her tongue. "That's not being a sport, Liu Jun. You should be a man and admit defeat where you should," she nodded.
"It's you brainwashing her every single time!"
"How is it my fault if I am more appealing than you?"
He gnashed his jaw in annoyance. Then he sneered. "Don't fly so high, Zhu Chyou. Your days of bliss would soon come to an end too."
"And, and Gu Yating can help you wear it just like he did in the movie," one woman squealed endlessly. "It was so romantic!"
Chyou choked hard. There were indeed thoughts in her mind to start wearing the pendant again but imagining Yating help her tie it made her face go poof in blush.
Yating was lost in his own world too as he imagined seeing and touching her slender and fair neck.
Jun leaned against a wall and smirked. "What are you imagining, Gu Yating? I don't think it's about the pendant at this point."
His stupor broke and he cleared his throat. Then his brows twitched with annoyance.
Why is he so damn perceptive?
"Ai, I think your husband is pretty bored now that he is insinuating some baseless questions. How about you take him back?"
Ai frowned. "I want to be with Chyou a little longer. Jun can leave if he wants to."
Jun sneered at Ai. "So that you allow Chyou to brainwash you even more than she already has!?"
"Isn't my heart already heartwashed by you? Why are you so worried about brainwashing?"
"..."
"My heart will remind me that I am married," she nodded.
Jun laughed angrily. "You need to be reminded that you are married?"
She averted her gaze and spoke softly. "Wh-when Chyou is around..."
"I heard it!"
She scrunched her brows. "You have unnecessarily sharp ears."
His face blackened. He grabbed her arm and started dragging her away. "I am taking you back."
Yating happily bade them goodbye as he didn't want Jun to linger around any longer.
Phew!
The security finally settled down the crowd. They had nothing much to do since the main event was already over. But Yating didn't wish for to leave so soon.
March ahead you fool!
Gu Rong's words drummed in his ears as a reminder. Yating took some courage from it and asked, "Chyou."
"Hm?" She cleared her throat and looked back.
"If you don't mind, will you come with me for dinner?"
