Chapter 421 - Being Followed (2/2)

”Seize your chance. Not every woman can meet a suitable man.”

Xia Ruoxin's red lips parted, but in the end, she just smiled dimly.

Some things were not to be said out loud. They both knew that one would only understand once experiencing things themselves. Only when time had passed would be when they would realize, many years later, that time had really passed.

”I'm leaving.” Shen Wei had wanted to take another look at Rainy, but she was already asleep.

If she had time, she would be back in the future. Here, she could have a free bowl of noodles like what a mother would cook. She put on her sunglasses. A car stopped in front of her, and the chauffeur stepped out to open the door for her. She sat inside, and the look in the corner of her eyes changed. With a sultry smirk on her face, she was no longer Shen Wei, but the top pimpstress of Gangnam district.

Xia Ruoxin pulled the curtains close. The car had already left. She leaned her back against the window. In the dim light, her eyes were dark and full of regret.

She couldn't help Shen Wei with anything at all.

She touched the dress that was hanging outside. It was small so it dried fast. She would take it in later and put it on the doll. She would never be able to make another dress as small as that.

She checked on her daughter in the bedroom first. The little one was burrowed beneath the blankets, revealing only her small head. She was sleeping soundly. Her shallow breathing could be heard, and her cheeks were also red and rosy. Her nap would last for a few hours, and she wouldn't wake up before that.

She checked the clock. It was time for her to go grocery shopping.

If she was fast, the little girl might still be asleep when she returned.

She took her purse and locked the door. She didn't waste any time on the way as she brisk-walked her way there. However, unbeknownst to her, a man was sneakily following behind her.

After she finished buying the vegetables, she mentally listed out all the food left in the fridge and was planning what dishes to make when she suddenly stopped in her tracks. Human instincts worked strangely at times. She sensed danger and quickened her footsteps, her hand gripping the basket tightly.

The faster she walked, the faster the person behind her walked as well.

Xia Ruoxin didn't understand how she piqued that person's interest. Money? She wasn't rich at all. L.u.s.t? She felt like her looks were just average, especially now that she was a housewife. She couldn't compare to those young girls. She was ordinary, without money and looks, so why was that person following her?

She ran and ran, not daring to look back. After she was a distance away, she stopped, panting heavily. She glanced back surreptitiously. It seemed like no one was there anymore. She ducked into an alley as she patted her chest and looked back again. There really wasn't anyone there.

Then, she walked out and patted her clothes down. She decided to buy groceries where there were more people in the future. It was tough going out of the house.

What she didn't know was that, meanwhile—in an empty alleyway not far from where she was, a man wearing an expensive designer suit rolled his wrist. Lying on the ground was a lecher who was beaten up like a dog.

The man on the ground cradled his head, his face battered and bruised like a pig. Even then, the man who beat him up still hasn't appeased his anger; and he stepped hard on the man's face. The man couldn't make a sound. He wanted to plead for mercy, but his lips were swollen like that of a sausage.
