Chapter 185: Tricked by the Partnership
Qin Shu retracted her gaze and glanced at the shops around her. Finally, her gaze landed on a candy shop.
South Asia’s handmade candy was famous. Since she was already here, she naturally had to bring some home.
She walked to a candy shop. They sold hard candy, soft candy, milk candy… that came in all kinds of flavors and colors.
She took a plastic bag and placed a little bit of each candy inside the bag. She handed the bag to the shop owner to see the cost.
Ye Luo still looked at Qin Shu with a poker face. She was an adult, yet she still liked candies?
At this time, President Ba seemed to be frightened. He jumped out of Ye Luo’s arms and ran into the crowd.
After Qin Shu paid for her candies, she turned around and saw that President Ba was running away. She glared at Ye Luo. “What are you standing there for? If you don’t chase him, you won’t be able to catch him.”
Ye Luo looked in the direction where President Ba was running to and then back at Qin Shu. He seemed to be hesitating. Should he go catch President Ba or look after Qin Shu?
“I’ll go if you don’t go.”
Qin Shu tightened her backpack straps and ran in the direction where President Ba was running.
Ye Luo was stunned for two seconds and then quickly chased after her.
They were at a street food block, and it was a weekend. So it was very crowded.
Qin Shu leaned against the door of a shop and watched as Ye Luo chase after President Ba down the block. After he entered the crowd, she walked out and ran in the opposite direction.
This place was not far from He’s mansion. It took about twenty minutes by foot and a few minutes by car.
This was also the reason why she chose this place to shop.
Qin Shu walked to the end of the block and waited for a while. She was about to hail a taxi when a luxury car stopped in front of her.
She was about to leave when the car window rolled down. She saw the person in the car. The man in the car was also looking at her.
The person sitting in the car was a man around twenty-four or twenty-five years old. His skin was excessively pale, a sickly paleness.
His well-defined face carried a trace of gentleness.
His features were like a painting, and his purple eyes added a sense of mystery.
His gaze was gentle, like that of a refined gentleman.
The color of his lips was also a little faint.
Qin Shu quickly sized him up and said, “I’m looking for a taxi.”
“I can give you a ride. All you have to do is give me a piece of your candy.”
The man in the car looked at the girl behind the black mask in front of him and then at the plastic bag in her hand.
Qin Shu, who was about to leave, stopped when she heard that. She turned around and looked at the man in the car. Even her voice sounded a little sickly.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the candies in the plastic bag. She took a few candies from the bag and handed them to him.
“You can have some candy, but you don’t need to give me a ride.”
The man in the car looked up at the girl in front of him. Her starry eyes were pure and bright. It was a pair of beautiful eyes that people wanted to see more of.
He looked at the girl’s extended hand. Her hand was slender and fair. Her nails were round and her hands were very beautiful.
Qin Shu frowned. “Don’t you want candy? Don’t just look at them.”
The man in the car chuckled. He then reached out and picked out a hard candy from her palm. He held it in his hand.
Qin Shu looked at the hand that he extended. It was too pale, and the joints were more distinct than that of ordinary people. His fingers were also long.
She was sure of one thing when she saw the man’s hand. He was most likely unwell.
The man in the car took the candy, raised his purple eyes, and looked at the girl in front of him. “Where do you want to go? I have nothing else to do, I can give you a ride.”
