Chapter 641 - 062 Street shopping, sweet_1
Although Lin Yuan wasn’t quite sure about the martial arts skills of those two guards, seeing them closely following Xiao Linshuang and Lin Wei, she still felt relatively at ease. Besides, they were now some distance away from the two younger sisters, and catching up to them would indeed be somewhat difficult.
Lin Yuan sped up her pace, only to be blocked by several people in front of her. She hadn’t expected Yecheng’s streets to be so crowded at night, and mostly with young couples too. As a girl, barging through like this was really not very appropriate.
After the sixth collision with a couple holding hands and cooing over each other, Xia Zheng finally couldn’t help but grab Lin Yuan’s hand tightly and keep her firmly by his side. He scolded with annoyance, "Stop worrying, the younger sisters have guards looking after them, they’ll be absolutely fine! As for you, running around like a headless fly, what will you do if you hurt yourself?"
Lin Yuan touched her nose sheepishly. It wasn’t her who got hurt, it was clearly the others who were hurt by her, and she had even been glared at and threatened several times. If it weren’t for Xia Zheng being there, those disturbed couples would have probably thrown her aside long ago.
"Alright, just enjoy the night in Yecheng, I promise it will be worth your while." Xia Zheng stretched out his hand to ruffle Lin Yuan’s soft hair, smiling as he led her to stroll slowly along the street.
Lin Yuan looked up ahead; where were the young sisters’ figures? Never mind, with two guards there, they should be safe.
With her mind at ease, Lin Yuan was immediately drawn to Xia Zheng’s enthusiasm. She couldn’t deny the unparalleled sense of relaxation she felt around him, as if she’d truly returned to her younger days, acting like a young maiden experiencing her first love, laughing and frolicking with him.
Once she relaxed, Lin Yuan was truly in the mood to look at the stalls on both sides. Besides the lanterns, there were quite a few other trinkets as well.
Xia Zheng would point here for a while, then lead her there, occasionally picking up something beautiful he liked to show Lin Yuan. The already handsome and distinguished Xia Zheng drew a lot of attention from young men and women. The men looked towards Xia Zheng with envy and jealousy, wishing to compare themselves to him but also avoiding him knowingly. The women, on the other hand, would gaze at Xia Zheng with infatuation before turning to Lin Yuan with envy, and then poutingly nudge their male companions, hinting that they should learn from him and see how considerate he was toward his partner.
