In the most luxurious shopping mall in central Ning City.
Xia Yanran was already waiting at the entrance when Nan Zhi had arrived.
The two best friends were shocked when they saw each other.
Even though Nan Zhi did not get a fever after she was drenched in the rain that night, her throat had been itchy since then and her complexion was still a little pale, even with makeup on.
On the other hand, Xia Yanran had a layer of bandage wrapped around her forehead and she looked worse than Nan Zhi.
Xia Yanran touched the bandage on her forehead and she smiled as if it was nothing. “That beast didn’t have it good last night either. I smashed his head with the ashtray when he tried to force himself on him. My injury happened because I was too nervous and bumped into the cupboard accidentally. I ended up getting three stitches, and I’m fine apart from that. That Xiao beast had nine stitches, which is a full three times the number I got!”
Nan Zhi felt sorry for Xia Yanran as she stared at her and caressed her forehead softly. “Silly girl.”
“Let’s go! Let’s go and shop till we drop! I’m going to bust his card.”
“The card he gave you doesn’t have a spending limit.”
“Then I’ll make him go bankrupt.”
Nan Zhi remembered that she had several cards that Mu Sihan gave her as well.
He forced them onto her one night after he and Xiaojie acknowledged each other as father and son.
Xia Yanran dragged Nan Zhi to the female apparel section. “Zhizhi, just choose whatever you want and I’ll pay for it. After we’re done here, let’s go to the children section and buy some clothes for my beloved godson.”
Nan Zhi did not plan to let Yanran pay for her, though she browsed through the maze of clothing racks with her.
Nan Zhi liked one of the light-colored dresses on display and had just called a staff over, when she heard a soft voice trail over suddenly, “Ah Han, how about I wear that to visit Grandma? Grandma likes it when I wear light-colored clothing.”
The dress that Nan Zhi liked was hung at the window and she had been blocked by a clothes rack, which was why she did not see the couple that entered the store. It was obvious the couple did not see her either.
The staff member was about to take the dress down for Nan Zhi and replied to Xue’er politely when she heard her, “I’m sorry, Miss, this dress had been taken by another customer.”
Xue’er hummed in confusion, “Someone has already taken this dress?” Despite being a little disappointed, she bowed her head in resignation. “Then I’ll go look for something else.”
The staff took the dress down and was about to pass it to Nan Zhi, who was standing behind the racks. The man’s low and cold voice rang, “Is there only one?”
The staff’s gaze landed on the man. A black tailored suit wrapped around his wild and good figure. He had a strong aura that was aloof as his sharp gaze was so cold it was almost abrasive.
“Sir, this dress is a limited-edition piece. We only have one and the dress just arrived at our store.”
“Ah Han, it’s fine.” Xue’er tugged at the man’s sleeves as she said softly, “I’ll go look at the other designs.”
The man did not listen to her, opting to stare at the staff coldly instead, “Bring it here.”
The staff was put in a difficult spot and she shuffled uncomfortably.
The man looked like he was rich and influential, so much that she could not afford to offend him. But the woman that chose the dress first did not seem like she was someone easy to dismiss either…
Nan Zhi walked out from behind the racks and saw the familiar man not too far away.
It was really a small world.
Too small.
She met them even though it was one of the rare times she came out to shop…
However, it was understandable when she thought about it. Xue’er was dressed in rags when he found her that night and it was natural to bring her out to get some new clothes.
They obviously did not expect to see Nan Zhi here. A complicated expression appeared in the expressionless man’s dark eyes when their eyes met.
