Xia Chuyi suspects the two recent phone calls were coordinated. After receiving a questionable call about her husband's mission, she gets a summons from Guo Jiumin, who seems to know more about her than she does about him. Suspecting Guo Jiumin has leverage, Xia Chuyi decides to meet him before her planned movie outing with her family.

It is worth mentioning that Xia Chuyi initially intended to play matchmaker for Ou Jun and Xiao Jingqi, hence her request for tickets from the director.

However, following a turn of events, Ou Jun and Xiao Jingqi found themselves unable to attend, leading Xia Chuyi to return the tickets.

Later, seeking a plausible reason to leave her current situation, Xia Chuyi asserted that the movie outing had been planned for a while and any sudden cancellation would certainly invite scrutiny from unknown observers, which led to her securing the tickets once more.

With Ou Jun and Xiao Jingqi out of the picture, Xia Chuyi's tickets were then only sufficient for herself and her acquaintances from "Youwei."

At that point in time, Xia Chuyi considered her "Youwei" companions more as a pretext for her own movements.

Now, with the unforeseen complication involving Guo Jiumin, Xia Chuyi felt it prudent to attend the event unaccompanied.

By going alone, she would be relieved of the genuine responsibility of looking after anyone else.

"I'm so sorry, Panpan," Xia Chuyi apologized, offering a promise, "Once all of this is settled, I absolutely will take you to see a movie!"

Xia Chuyi made this solemn vow.

As she spoke, Xia Chuyi solidified her intention in her heart: once this current dilemma was resolved, she would ensure they all went to the movies!

"My apologies, Sister, you go ahead and handle your business!" Xia Pan responded politely.

After concluding their brief discussion, Xia Chuyi ended the call and made preparations to depart.

Meanwhile, at "Youwei," Huang Xiaoyun had just completed her duties and approached Xia Pan, noticing her crestfallen expression.

"Panpan, what's wrong?" Huang Xiaoyun inquired, adding, "Aren't you supposed to be going to the movies? Why aren't you happy?"

Xia Pan naturally shook her head and explained, "Sister Xiao Yun, it appears we won't be able to go to the movies after all."

"What?" Huang Xiaoyun reacted with surprise.

Subsequently, Xia Pan recounted the details of Xia Chuyi's earlier phone conversation to Huang Xiaoyun.

It was only then that Huang Xiaoyun fully grasped the reason behind Xia Pan's disappointment.

"Chuyi must truly be occupied with pressing matters over there," Huang Xiaoyun mused for a moment before suggesting, "However, Panpan, if you're still keen on seeing the movie, I can accompany you."

"The main stars themselves are scheduled to attend an event at the cinema today," Huang Xiaoyun continued, "They ordered a substantial amount of braised pork rice from us, so we could perhaps go along with the delivery personnel and see if they could help us secure two tickets."

"Perhaps that's not necessary..." Xia Pan demurred, expressing her lingering desire, "I really wanted to watch a movie with Sister."

Hearing this, Huang Xiaoyun replied, "That's perfectly fine too; we can simply participate in the movie star interaction segments. My work schedule has already been adjusted."

Upon hearing this possibility, Xia Pan's eyes lit up with excitement. "Can we really do that?"

"Of course, we can," Huang Xiaoyun affirmed.

With their decision made, Huang Xiaoyun, accompanied by Xia Pan, little Xia Ming cradled in Uncle Quan's arms, and Xiao Kong, set out from "Youwei" and headed towards the cinema.

Little did Xia Chuyi realize that in her effort to ensure the safety of her "Youwei" friends, she had inadvertently paved the way for them to pursue their movie-watching plans independently.

The next thing she knew, they had decided to go on their own.

Upon arriving at the cinema, Xia Chuyi proceeded according to her initial plan, entering the venue ahead of time.

Given the preceding circumstances, Ou Zhenting had taken the precaution of arranging for several bodyguards to accompany Xia Chuyi on her outing.

Before stepping into the cinema, Xia Chuyi instructed the accompanying bodyguards, "I don't have any spare tickets with me, so please wait for me outside."

The leader of the bodyguard detail hesitated upon hearing Xia Chuyi's words, stating, "My apologies, but Chief Ou specifically instructed us to remain in your vicinity at all times..."
