Chapter 417: An Unintentional Glance (2 more updates)_1
"I..." The chubby Young Master Hao took two steps back, hastily retreating as he said, "It’s really difficult to argue with a woman," and then turned around and bolted.
Yang Ruxin watched with astonishment, musing how his speed could almost rival that of Liu Xiang, wondering how he managed it with all that fat on his body.
The crowd around them had been eagerly watching the commotion, but when they saw the chubby figure charging towards them, they quickly made way.
Just then, a horse-drawn carriage happened to pass by. The unsuspecting coachman, faced with someone suddenly dashing out, had to abruptly pull the reins. The horses neighed loudly, rearing up quite high on their front hooves.
Fortunately, the coachman managed to stop the carriage in time; otherwise, the fat man would have been in danger.
However, unconcerned with the risk he had just evaded, the chubby man sprinted away without a trace, followed closely by his few minions who also took to their heels.
"What’s the matter?" A man poked his head out from the carriage, clearly annoyed by the sudden stop that almost flattened his nose.
"Master, someone suddenly rushed out..."
Yang Ruxin had initially only glanced out of curiosity, but upon clearly seeing the man’s face, she couldn’t help but frown and unconsciously took a couple of steps forward, wanting a better look.
Perhaps it was the intensity of Yang Ruxin’s stare that caused the man to turn his head and look her way while listening to the coachman’s explanation. However, his gaze quickly shifted away from hers the moment they met, and he closed the door of the carriage and instructed the coachman to drive on immediately.
Yang Ruxin, initially thinking the man merely looked somewhat familiar, now found him suspicious. She was inclined to chase after the carriage to discover the truth, but remembering Shopkeeper Han and the day’s tasks at hand, she restrained herself.
With the troublemakers gone, the crowd of onlookers dispersed as well.
