Chapter 398 - 398: Food Remains Triumphant (2/2)

”Oh my god,” Han Taiyi's jaw dropped in disbelief at what she saw from a distance.

”What's wro—” Poor Chu Lizheng didn't get to finish his sentence when his partner slapped his back so hard he nearly loses his balance and ultimately kiss the ground—her vengeance was accomplished. ”Oww, what was that for?”

”It's Lillie Bai...and Madam Agathe!” She ignored his suffering and grabbed his face, pulling it beside hers that their cheek squished together so he could look in the direction she's looking at.

Chu Lizheng squinted and tried to spot the subject of her passionate interest.

And there she was. The ash-blonde She-Devil everyone knows and loves—hate for some people but we don't care about them. She was standing arm-in-arm with another ash-blonde-haired lady in front of a tall glass window that displays dresses on mannequins.

Then, a teenage boy with similar coloring was standing not far from the two ladies and next to a ravenette who seems to be his age. Both are occupied with their phones.

”I can only admire them from a distance...like a true fangirl.” Han Taiyi sagely said, her hand reaching out as if she was in a sad movie where the main character's love interest was leaving with their back facing them.

Chu Lizheng just shook his head at her antics and dragged her by the collar for them to continue their date—regardless if he's the only one who thinks it's one. He won't waste this rare leisure time with her gawking the Bai family like a creep all day.

”Wa-wait, wait! Unhand me, Lizheng! Do you realize the rarity of seeing Lillie Bai and Madam Agathe in person is?” Han Taiyi dug her foot on the ground to stop him. But it was futile.

”Yes.” He curly replied with a blank tone.

”Then you should sympathize with me! I never would've expected to see the whole Bai family blatantly out in the open as if they're normal civilians. What's even crazier is the fact that no paparazzi are hounding them like hungry dogs.” Han Taiyi scrutinized in a thinking pose.

”Maybe you're hallucinating.” Well, he can see them too. So both of them must be hallucinating.

Was it the candied fruits? Tasted good as he remembered, though.

”Or maybe the people around here are used to seeing celebrities?” He offered a more logical answer.

”But they're an entirely different league than other celebrities!” Han Taiyi flicked her arms to highlight her point.

”Let's go, Taiyi. We'll see them again at the event.” However, Chu Lizheng hoped their client's seat isn't close to Lillie Bai. That would result in Han Taiyi being out of it completely, she wouldn't be able to focus on the task.

”Noooooooo...” Han Taiyi trying to wiggle out of his grip, not caring if people look at them weirdly.

”I'll buy everything you want. Just stop acting like a child and let's continue our tour before our mission starts.” Chu Lizheng was already planning to treat her, not that she's aware of it. So there's nothing wrong in making a bargain out of it.

Han Taiyi stopped flailing and weighed her options.

”Fine.” She pouted. Sorry, Lillie, Madam Agathe, free food remains triumphant.
