Murong Qiao pulled Huo Yichen into the craft shop.
This shop was far larger than it looked. When she entered, Murong Qiao realized that it was a two-story design.
just the moment they entered the exhibition hall, the colorful merchandise entered Murong Qiao’s vision.
It was not a bad choice to give the local artifacts to her friends when she returned. Moreover, An Nuo liked such beautiful ornaments very much.
Murong Qiao looked at them seriously for a moment.
Huo Yichen was standing beside Murong Qiao. Even if he didn’t do anything, many people’s eyes were on him. However, when they saw that Huo Yichen was only looking at Murong Qiao, they retracted their gazes regretfully.
-What do you think of this sh.e.l.l? I feel that this kind of handmade product is especially thoughtful.” Murong Qiao picked up one at random. “If time allows, I actually want to make one myself…”
■■This blue one doesn’t look bad either,” Huo Yichen suggested.
His attention was on Murong Qiao, but he pretended to casually sweep his gaze across the surrounding crowd and frowned slightly.
He kept feeling that there was someone in the crowd staring at them, but there were too many people here, and Huo Yichen couldn’t figure out who it was.
However, when they felt Huo Yichen’s gaze, several beautiful women of all
kinds winked at him. They were extremely bold.
When Huo Yichen’s sharp gaze swept across the crowd, a certain man leaning against the cabinet in the corner lowered his eyes quickly. Then, he reached out and pressed down the baseball cap on his head. He used the hidden corner he was standing in to look in the direction of Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao.
It was obvious that they were tourists…
They looked like fat lambs no matter how one looked at them.
After the man sized up the two of them, he concluded that the wealth of his
target this time was not bad.
It’s that man… Tsk.
Seeing Huo Yichen look over again, the man hid in the shadows of the cabinet beside him. Even though he had already stolen from many people, he couldn’t help but sigh at Huo Yichen’s sharp vision.
-Huh?” Murong Qiao looked up and saw Huo Yichen looking in a certain
direction. “What’s wrong?”
Huo Yichen instantly turned around. “It’s nothing.”
“Then let’s go over there to take a look.” Murong Qiao pulled Huo Yichen to another area.
This craft shop seemed to be very popular. Just by standing at the door, many people had already entered.
Murong Qiao pulled Huo Yichen a little further away from the door and her
eyes had already landed elsewhere.
Not only An Nuo, but her Big Brothers also had to have a share of the gifts, as well as the people she knew…
As soon as Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen changed places, the man who had been watching them turned around and realized that they were gone. He was about to frown and go over to take a look when he saw a new target enter the shop.
After stealing a lot, he naturally had good judgment and experience.
The man narrowed his eyes. When he saw the luxurious clothes and bag on the girl who entered, the corresponding price immediately appeared in his mind. Coupled with the fact that there was only one woman following her, he immediately changed his target.
“Prine-Young Miss, Young Miss, wait for me-” The maid followed behind Sophia bitterly.
Sofia focused on walking forward. After entering the shop, she could go wherever she wanted. “I won’t get lost. What are you afraid of?”
She said casually, not knowing that she had already become a target in someone’s eyes.
“Young Miss, there are too many people here. Your health is not good, so we…”
The maid wanted to persuade her.
Sophia Stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her with her chin raised.
“Is this your body or mine?”
“You know more about my health than I do?
“I didn’t come out here to listen to you nag.”
These few words immediately rendered the maid speechless. Sofia’s last sentence was completely cold. It was obvious that she had lit a fire, so the maid shut her mouth even more.
The little princess had not been in good health since she was young and was easily irritated. As servants, they couldn’t say anything, let alone bear the corresponding consequences.
Sofia was clearly a regular customer of this shop. As soon as she entered, she went straight to the area on the second floor and looked at the jewelry area she liked.
■■Why are there still these things… This shop is always so boring. There are only these few things here and there. They don’t even change the color.” Sofia frowned in disdain.
“Young Miss, these are all the new products they got. Moreover, I heard that they’re made with a lot of dedication.” The maid hurriedly coaxed her.
Sofia looked over. “What is this—”
“It doesn’t look good.” She lost interest and waved her hand.
The maid looked at the new accessories. Although she felt that this was already beautiful enough, she naturally didn’t dare to say anything since the princess had said so.
However, the main target today was not the bracelet she had taken a fancy to, nor was it the more dazzling gem. Instead… it was the cold and handsome man with pursed lips.
Standing on the second floor, Sofia looked down from above. Almost at first glance, her gaze involuntarily locked onto Huo Yichen.
He was really an existence that was too conspicuous. Just standing there attracted her attention and she couldn’t look anywhere else.
Unlike the blonde hair she often saw, his hair was almost as dark and pure as ink. Among the sea of bright colors, it made her especially curious.
From her top-down angle, she could only see the side of his face, but the golden rims of the sun made him look even more faint and handsome. From his forehead to the bridge of his nose, everything was perfect. When he lowered his eyes, there was a smile on his lips, making her stand there and watch for a long time.
With every additional glance, the rhythm in her chest increased, as if it was deafening.
He was the most beautiful person she had ever seen since she was young.
She stood rooted to the ground in a daze, forgetting to say anything. Her gaze followed Huo Yichen’s every move.
And Sofia’s reaction was simply a G.o.dsend opportunity for the thief.
Almost at lightning speed, the man who had been observing Sofia saw an opportunity and rushed to Sofia’s side in the blink of an eye.
He s.n.a.t.c.hed the bag from the other party’s hand and ran out of the shop without hesitation.
“Ah!”
“Catch the thief!!!”
This voice attracted Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen’s attention.
The two of them looked at the door of the shop at the same time and saw the thief rushing out.
The tacit understanding between the two of them made it so that Murong Qiao didn’t need to say anything before Huo Yichen rushed out.
It was the most lively near noon. The thief and Huo Yichen walked through the crowd. It was obvious that they attracted many people to make way.
“Don’t run!”
The thief was clearly very experienced. He dodged left and right. Even though HUO Yichen’s speed was faster than his, his familiarity with the terrain made the two of them temporarily even.
From the entrance of the shop to the opposite side of the street, Huo Yichen chased after the thief. In the end, because of the traffic light, he seized the opportunity to grab the other party’s collar.
The man who had stolen the bag was pressed to the ground by Huo Yichen, and Murong Qiao and Sofia, who had just left the shop, saw him.
“It hurts, it hurts—”
The thief was pressed to the ground by Huo Yichen. His hands were behind his back, and he couldn’t exert any strength no matter how he struggled. However, even if he was caught, his mouth was still dishonest. He cursed and spat out some incomprehensible curses, making people frown.
The person who was pressed to the ground was restless. His eyes darted around, as if he was planning to escape at all times..
