Chapter 472: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival on the 17th_2

When faced with Jiang Chen, this grandmother seemed to turn into a different person, unconcerned about a bit of physical contact at that point, actively trying to cling to Jiang Chen’s wrist.

Fortunately, Comrade Jiang Chen was quick-eyed and nimble and managed to avoid her.

"What are you doing?"

"I’m just your assistant. If you want to take advantage of me, I’ll resign on the spot."

Jiang Chen was utterly serious.

Shi Qian Qian’s face turned red with embarrassment, and she didn’t know how to retort for a moment.

Jiang Chen quickly walked ahead.

"Stop right there!"

Shi Qian Qian immediately chased after him.

"I think it’s safer to let them follow us, just keep some distance."

Jiang Chen knew that this grandmother had always detested the feeling of being watched; otherwise, she wouldn’t have given him the "opportunity" in the first place.

However, the ordeal of Shi Zhenhua made her unable to handle things according to her own temperament.

Of course.

On second thought, if time could be reversed, Jiang Chen might consider a different approach to solving this problem. Then, between him and this grandmother, they might not have developed this —

Bond of fate.

That’s right,

He himself thought it was a "bond of fate."

But regrettably, time is a one-way street; there’s no way back.

"Sagan Nobuo is already dead. Even if all the spies haven’t been rooted out, do you think they dare to make any rash moves at this critical moment?"

Shi Qian Qian was dismissive.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen also felt there was some truth to it.

Although the explosion case had been temporarily closed with the death of Sagan Nobuo and Shenzhou did not pursue it further without evidence, ultimately, Dongying was in the wrong on this matter.

Even if they still harbored malicious intentions, they probably wouldn’t stir up trouble anytime soon.

"Have you been here before?"

Shi Qian Qian asked casually.

When it came to development, Hancheng might fall short of East Sea, but if we talk about liveliness, Hancheng could be just as bustling.

Today wasn’t a day off, yet the streets along the Han River were crowded, with long lines forming in front of some snack shops.

The bustling atmosphere diluted the faint gloominess hanging overhead.

"I’ve been here once."

If he remembered correctly, it was right after he graduated from high school, and he was with Fang Qing.

"Why are there so many people at that store?"

A lotus root starch shop caught Shi Qian Qian’s attention, "Go and buy me a bowl to try."

Look at that tone.

It was as if she really took him for her assistant.

"Why don’t you go yourself?"

People usually have a herd mentality, but Jiang Chen was the exception. Seeing the queue of at least twenty people outside the lotus root starch shop, he immediately felt averse.

Even at school, he usually waited until the dining rush was over before going to the cafeteria.

Why don’t I go?

Shi Qian Qian really didn’t know how to answer that question at the moment.

Nobody had ever asked her that before.

And when she shopped, she seemed never to have lined up, even in top-tier luxury stores.

"I’ll go then."

Miss Shi, acting as if she was on a bet, was about to queue up herself.

Jiang Chen looked at the chaotic scene at the entrance of the lotus root starch shop and hesitated for a moment before heaving a silent sigh.

"Wait here."

Shi Qian Qian seemed to have anticipated this, immediately stopped, and turned back.

"Thank you."

She smiled radiantly.

The ordinary people of Hancheng on the snack street had never seen such an elegant and beautiful woman; they were all staring, even those who came shopping with their girlfriends couldn’t help but sneak peeks over here.

A couple even started arguing because of it.

Shi Qian Qian turned a blind eye as if everyone else on the snack street didn’t exist.

"Here."

Jiang Chen, after queuing for more than ten minutes, returned with a hard-earned bowl of lotus root starch.

"Thanks."

Miss Shi was polite enough, taking the spoon and tasting it, only to frown immediately.

"What’s wrong?"

Jiang Chen asked.

Shi Qian Qian hesitated to speak.

"Is it not very good?"

Jiang Chen seemed to understand.

"Why then are so many people in line?"

Shi Qian Qian was puzzled.

"Who says a long queue means the taste is good?"

Jiang Chen looked at the people continuously joining the line, "These people all have the same idea as you."

Then, he reminded her, "Regardless of whether it’s good or not, I went to a lot of trouble to get this, so you should finish it."

Shi Qian Qian’s face showed her distaste; as they continued walking along the commercial street, she nibbled carefully at the spoonfuls, like one would with medicine.

Jiang Chen watched, unable to suppress his amusement, and after a small lecture said, "Okay, if you don’t want to eat, just throw it out."

"That’s such a waste."

Shi Qianxi seemed to be waiting for those words, "Why don’t you give it a try?"

Jiang Chen chose to ignore her.

"Hey, wasting is shameful."

Shi Qianxi raised her voice.

"If you don’t want to waste it, then you eat it up."

Jiang Chen didn’t stop walking.

A slightly lagging Shi Qianxi glared and then found a trash can to throw away the lotus root powder.

"Hurry up, it looks like it’s going to rain."

Jiang Chen noticed that the weather seemed off.

A cool breeze started blowing.

Men shop with a purpose, they see, they buy, and then they leave, but women are different.

This, even Miss Shi could not escape, even wanting to stop and look at the kittens and puppies for sale on the roadside.

Jiang Chen really wanted to leave her there and randomly pick out a couple of items in any store, quick and decisive, but he couldn’t help worrying about her. As a result, after dilly-dallying for an hour, they didn’t even step into a men’s clothing store.

"I haven’t watched a movie in a long time."

Passing by the entrance of a cinema, Shi Qianxi murmured.

Jiang Chen feigned stupidity and kept walking.

Shi Qianxi bit her lip and had no choice but to follow. Yet, she probably had already cursed someone out in her mind.

The two entered the department store next to them. Although it wasn’t as high-end as Hancheng Square, it still housed quite a few decent brands.

Jiang Chen was brisk and efficient, not waiting for the lady to express her opinion, he entered a store, randomly picked out two sets, reported his size, didn’t even try them on, and paid for them himself.

Both sets cost sixteen thousand.

The whole process took just about ten minutes, even faster than waiting in line to buy that bowl of cold noodles.

"You have to reimburse me for this money."

"Sure, I’ll remember it."

Shi Qianxi was surprisingly straightforward about it.

By the time they got to the entrance of the mall, they saw that the entrance was packed with people.

On closer inspection.

It had indeed started to rain.

The downpour wasn’t heavy.

A light rain.

Rain like threads, drifting and sifting down.

All these people at the entrance of the store were seeking shelter from the rain.

Already sensing the change in the weather, Jiang Chen said, "Call your bodyguard."

"It’s just a little rain, what’s there to be afraid of?"

Shi Qianxi thought little of it.

Before Jiang Chen could react, she nonchalantly stepped into the rain.

Her hair and face were soon wet with rain.

Everyone was taken aback.

Perhaps because her makeup was too high-end, or maybe because it was light makeup, she didn’t end up looking like a drenched cat.

Does this woman even realize what her status is?

Does she think she’s still a child?

"Let’s go."

Seeing that Jiang Chen hadn’t followed, she turned back.

Water slowly slid down her cheeks, presenting a natural beauty like a lotus flower emerging from the water.

Forget the crowd huddled under the entrance to avoid the rain, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but be momentarily dazed.

Shi Qianxi wiped the rain off her face, then walked back to him.

"Give it to me."

She took the garment bags from Jiang Chen’s hand, held them close to protect them, and grabbed Jiang Chen’s hand.

"Run!"

In full view of countless onlookers, Jiang Chen was pulled into the rain.

The bustling Hancheng Road suddenly became deserted.

Shops were lined with people taking shelter from the rain.

This rain seemed like it would be a short shower and not last long.

While they were waiting for the rain to stop, a couple ran by in front of them.

"Miss."

Halfway there.

The bodyguard, holding an umbrella, found his way to them.

They finally stopped.

The bodyguard quickly arrived and held the umbrella over them.

The rain was held at bay.

Shi Qianxi, completely soaked, panted slightly, wiped the water from her forehead, and a few strands of hair clung to her face.

She picked up the garment bag in her hand, checked it, then smiled and handed it over.

"Here, it’s still clean."

True indeed.

The newly purchased clothes worth sixteen thousand were still spotless, but the globally limited edition dress she was wearing was thoroughly wet and stained with muddy splashes.

Looking at that wet, smiling face, Jiang Chen felt a tug at his heart, slowly reached out, took the garment bag, and couldn’t help but smile a little in return.
