Yuan Tian secretly chuckled to herself when she saw that Yuan Ran had followed them again. In Yuan Tian’s eyes, Yuan Ran was too persistent when it came to approaching relationships between men and women.
Yuan Tian and Yuan Ran were only one year apart in age. Although Yuan Tian looked childish and impulsive, her heart was actually extremely calm when it came to men.
She was very clear about the type of man she wanted.
Although Shao Yibai was tantalizing, an intelligent person could tell in one look that Yuan Ran was not his cup of tea at all.
Yuan Tian did not know how to deal with her stupid sister. Since she was not fond of her, she could not be bothered to keep up a front either.
She dragged Mu Chenyan along and only concerned herself with staying in front while Yuan Ran pestered Shao Yibai. From the looks of it, the one who was actually left alone seemed like Third Young Master Yuan…
The man’s face darkened as he took big strides with his long slender legs and followed his woman from behind without saying a single word. Since he was already unusually handsome, the elegant aura and noble manner that exuded throughout his entire body made him stood out among the crowd. He overshadowed the splendor of the lanterns as young women would snap his pictures sneakily with their phones.
Everyone loved beautiful things. When they encountered a man who resembled a celebrity, their curiosity would always get the better of them.
“Look quickly, that bodyguard is so handsome…”
Huh, bodyguard?
His appearance, his pace in tune with his wife’s steps and the way his face remained stern and silent truly resembled like one of the Chinese government’s bodyguards…
Yuan Xuan was not annoyed because his thoughts were focused on the overjoyed woman before him.
The north was known for their ice sculptures while the south was known for their lanterns. Being one of the renowned special economic zones in the world, Luo Hai’s lanterns were certainly more outstanding than those in any other places.
Mingling with the bustling crowd, Mu Chenyan and Yuan Tian wandered through the numerous lantern displays for a long distance without feeling tired.
She turned around and looked at Yuan Ran who was frailly complaining about being shoved around by the crowd, and how tired her feet were from walking.
“Poor girl, didn’t you know that your feet will hurt if you wore high-heels and walked far?” Yuan Tian felt her own thighs trembling when she saw the heels on Yuan Ran’s feet that were at least 8 centimeters tall.
Shao Yibai acted very gentlemanly and supported Yuan Ran as she walked towards the chairs at the rest area. He quietly asked, “Can you still walk? If you can’t, do you want me to send you back?”
Yuan Ran was faintly shocked. A delighted look appeared on her face but her tone implied a sense of bashfulness when she said, “It really hurts! I can’t walk anymore but could you carry me, brother?”
Being a refined man, Shao Yibai was stunned and after seeing Yuan Ran’s blushing face, he nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll carry you.”
Yuan Ran was so happy that she nearly fainted. She stretched her arms out and waited for Shao Yibai to carry her before she suddenly heard someone nearby yell, “Stop! Catch him… Stop him…”
More than ten meters away, she could see a middle-aged woman carrying a boy who looked like two to three-year-old running after a young man. A tall, young woman chased them from behind closely.
The loud yells came from her.
“They’re human traffickers. Everyone, help me stop them!”
The woman continued to shout and her footsteps grew more hurried. Unfortunately, she was wearing a skirt that hindered her running movements, and there was heavy traffic from the bustling and huge crowds who were here to see the lanterns. The people around had yet to react to the situation, thus allowing the two ‘human traffickers’ to slip through and ran past by the side.
They violently shoved their way through and caused a commotion within the crowd.
The woman became furious when she saw that no one was helping her to stop them. Using one hand, she tore the corner of her skirt and wrap it around her waist. She had on a pair of black stockings that made her long and slender legs beautiful.
Her footsteps became quicker once she was no longer impeded by her skirt. She caught up to the middle-aged woman in a few steps and struck the woman’s neck. The child was thrown out of her grip and fell onto the ground and cried.
The young woman picked the child up from the ground. Her beautiful face had a stern expression on it. She comforted the child and softly said, “Don’t cry. Your mother’s behind us and she’ll be here right away.”
The young man looked utterly ferocious when he saw that his accomplice had been struck while the child was seized. He drew out a dagger near his waist and threateningly said, “Dirty b*tch, I’ll make you bleed if you meddle with our business!”
