“Oh, they are here helping us carry our shopping bags. You don’t have to worry about them.” Venus Mu
said. Venus didn’t want to explain more, because there are so many things involved.
Xiran Xiao didn’t make a detailed inquiry. She herself also has bodyguards, but they are never allowed
to follow her when she is shopping.
“How long will you be in Sky City? Where are you living?” Yan Chu took Xiran’s arm and asked eagerly.
Yan was so enthusiastic that she almost invited Xiran to live in her home.
“It depends on how the negotiations go. If all goes well, I will stay here for at least three days. If things
don’t go well, I will stay here for half a month. I live in the mountain villa arranged by the other party.”
Xiran said. Xiran basically doesn’t lie, but her level of lying is very high. She doesn’t blush or blink eyes
when she lies.
Yan was clearly happy to hear that. “Oh, that’s wonderful. Call me when you’re done with your work,
and I’ll show you around. Actually, I’d like to invite you to live in Ye family, but…” Yan said.
“I’m glad you didn’t say that. I’m the least person who likes to live in other people’s home.” Xiran said.
“That’s OK anyway.” Venus said with a smile.
“By that way, where is the handsome guy in your house? How is he now?” Yan said.
“He woke up the day when the earthquake hit Sky City.” Xiran said frankly.
Venus opened her mouth wide in shock and said, “Oh my god? He woke up? Where is he? Can I see
him?”
Xiran shook her head regrettably and said, “You can’t see him.”
“Why?” Venus asked.
“He went home. He said he would work hard to make money and then marry me.” Xiran said. Xiran
couldn’t help smiling when she said that. She thought she’s not lying to Yan.
“How much money does he have to make to marry you?” Venus said dully.
Xiran took the lead to the elevator and turned to look at Yan, saying, “In fact, if he really loves me, I
don’t mind how much money does he have. But since he wants to do that, I shouldn’t throw a wet
blanket on him.”
Venus followed her and stood on the step below her. “That’s right. Men need to be aggressive.
Besides, you have so much money that an average man would be ashamed of himself in front of you.”
Venus said.
“Maybe. But..” Xiran smiled and said, “He is not just any man. He is very confident.”
“I’m getting more and more interested in him. I really want to see who is the one conquers your heart.”
Venus said.
“We will treat you to dinner when he’s free.” Xiran said in a calm and collected way.
“OK.” Venus said.
Xiran’s taste is high and she only went into those big brand stores. As a designer, Venus has an eye for
clothes. They two had a good time in shopping.
After more than two hours, there are many shopping bags on the hands of the two bodyguards.
Xiran didn’t swipe Tianye Mu’s card, because she is not used to use man’s money.
When they walked out of an international women’s clothing store and talked about the feeling of the
dress just put on, Xiran saw from the corners of her eyes that two meters away there was a furtive man
reaching his hand into a girl’s bag. The girl was looking intently at the clothes on the model in front of
the shop.
The next second, the thief picked up a pink purse with his fingers. The wallet is thick and there should
be a lot of cards and cash in it. The thief smirked and was about to leave. Then Xiran walked up to him
quickly and kicked him on the back.
Because of Xiran’s great strength and the man’s inattention, the man fell to the ground heavily.
It happened right behind the girl, who screamed in horror and stared at the man dully. She didn’t know
what’s going on.
Before the man got up from the ground, Xiran stepped on his back with her high heels. “Where is the
purse? Take it out.” Xiran said.
After seeing Xiran is a woman, the thief shouted at her, “I don’t have purse. Let me go.”
“Do you think women are easy to bully?” Xiran said. The she took a swipe at him with her expensive
bag. “Won’t you take it out? If you don’t take it out, I will teach you have to be a man today.”
The thief didn’t expect Xiran to be so fierce. He looked back and saw two big, burly men standing
behind her. In panic, the thief said, “I will take it out immediately. Don’t fighting me.”
Then he took the purse he had just stolen from his pocket. The girl standing by took a look at the purse
and found it’s hers.
Xiran raised her head and said to the girl, “Just take it. Look after your bag when you go shopping.”
The girl took the purse from the thief’s hand and said thanks to Xiran gratefully.
Xiran stepped on the thief’s spine mercilessly and the thief cried out of pain.
“Why can’t find you a decent job at such a young age but to be a thief? Don’t let me see you again. Get
out of here.” Xiran said. Xiran kicked the thief again. Then the thief got up in a hurry from the ground
and ran away without looking back.
There were a crowd of onlookers gathering around. Xiran took out a small mirror and retouched her
makeup as if nothing had happened. Then she said to Venus, who was almost dumbfounded, “Let’s
continue our shopping.”
Venus regained her senses from the shook and looked at Xiran adoringly, saying, “Xiran, you’re so
good.”
“It’s a piece of cake. He is just a little thief.” Xiran said. She was chased by wild dogs during her
expedition.
Venus became a crazy fan of Xiran and said, “There aren’t people as gallant as you. Everyone wants to
avoid trouble whenever possible. They will turn a blind eyes even if they see a thief stealing.”
“I was robbed before. That’s why I am so angry.” Xiran said.
Venus was stunned for a moment and asked, “When that happened.”
“A few years ago I went hiking abroad with a few friends and we planned to camp at the top of the
mountain. Unexpectedly, a group of men came at night. Armed with guns, they raided our camp. I was
robbed out of my money, passport and everything. That’s really my worst experience. But luckily, my
friends and I weren’t hurt.” Xiran said.
Xiran said that with a few words, but Venus was nervous and excited. “So what happened next?” Venus
couldn’t help asking.
Xiran smiled and said, “It was about three o’clock in the morning. Some suggested that we should go
downhill immediately, but most of them agreed that it would be a double loss when we were robbed out
of everything and couldn’t see the fabulous sunrise. After a vote we decided to stay on the mountain. I
remember the wind blowing so hard at the top of the mountain that we all huddled together to keep
warm. We waited till the wee hours, trembling. We were very excited when the sun rose from a sea of
clouds. We felt that the night had not been wasted. Since then, I have never seen such a beautiful
sunrise.”
Venus was fascinated by what Xiran said. She also wanted to see the sunrise over a sea of clouds.
“How did you come back without your passport?” Venus asked.
“I went to the embassy to apply for a temporary one. It’s so troublesome and I was tired of doing that.”
Xiran said.
It was already past 5 p.m. when they finished shopping. Xiran wanted to call Tianye to ask him to pick
her up, but Yan insisted on treating her to dinner. Yan said it’s a rare opportunity for Xiran to come to
Sky City and she must have dinner with her.
