Chapter 347 What’s Not to Like?
“I’m not!” Marion eximed.

me it on Cassic. She had texted, [It’s your first time, so it’s normal to be nervous. Just light some
scented candles, dim the lights, set a romantic atmosphere, and everything will fall into ce.]
Marion quickly denied it.
Thinking about Lucas seeing Cassie’s message earlier, Marion was afraid he would steer the
conversation in that direction again. Subconsciously, she sat up straight, intending to focus on the
movie. “Let’s watch the movie,” she said.
Lucas leaned back on the sofa behind him, nonchntly responding, “Sure.”
The movie was a serious suspense thriller, but the suspense seemed a bit intense.
About twenty–five minutes into the film, the female and male lead suddenly started kissing
passionately.
The surround sound was exceptional. With 360–degree stereo, it filled the room with the sounds of
their kisses and hurried breathing.
Marion instinctively gripped the sofa beneath her, too embarrassed to move.
She had not seen this movie before. She thought the deep kiss would be the end of it, but to her
surprise, the leads seemed like wildfire, shedding clothes as they kissed.
Marion’s face felt like it was on fire, burning with embarrassment.
Could they stop watching?
Suddenly, Lucas shifted beside her, making Marion inexplicably nervous. Her breathing started to
match the rhythm of the movie.
Just as she was hesitating whether to make an excuse not to watch, she felt a warmth and her
waist.
Marion instinctively nced down. The next moment, his arm wrapped around her waist.
The scent of cedarwood enveloped her, causing her already rapid breathing to be even more
erratic.
The couple on the screen ahead was doing something unspeakable. Though the scene was artistically
rendered, the sounds were suggestive enough.
Marion felt extremely embarrassed, her eyshes fluttering. “Wh–what’s going on?”
She nced up and noticed that Lucas had unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt at some point,
revealing his corbone.
Marion swallowed hard, her hand beneath her involuntarily gripping the sofa.

To her surprise, the leather sofa could not bear the strain, Suddenly, there was a “crack,” making
Marion’s scalp tingle.
Lucas looked at her, lips slightly curved, his dark eyes tinged with amusement. “I just want to hug you,”
he said.
Marion bit her lip, about to speak, when she felt two taps on her waist. She shivered all over.
‘Stay calm, stay calm! It’s just a hug, not a kiss!‘
As she reassured herself, a deep voice sounded in her ear, “Of course, I also want to kiss you.”
Hearing this, Marion, already embarrassed, stiffened even more. “Th–this movie isn’t good,” she
blurted.
“What’s not good about it?” Lucas chuckled, his teasing evident in his eyes.
Marion’s face was already red. She nced at the screen in front to find that the main characters had
finished and were lying there watching the stars.
“The pacing is too slow.” She steadied her thoughts, pretending to beposed as she offered a
reason.
Lucas looked at her, silent as a smirk ying on his lips. His meaning was clear.
Marion trembled under his gaze, embarrassed. “Stopughing!”
She really did think the pacing was too slow!
“Not continuing with watching then?” He paused for two seconds, leisurely adding, “How about we go
back and light some scented candles?”
Marion lowered her head, silent for a moment. “Let’s just watch the movie,” she said softly.
She could not possibly look at scented candles now.
Once the ambiguous scenes in the movie had passed, the main characters began following the plot
and the background music turned eerie.
She collected her thoughts and immersed herself back into the movie’s plot.
Little did she expect, after only ten minutes, the supporting actors started kissing again.
Seriously?!
Was this not supposed to be a suspense movie?
