Chapter 1 (2/2)

Mi Qing propped her chin up with her hand and gazed at the Weibo picture, lost in thought Tuzi gege,2 do you know that I a forced to marry someone?

She felt her eyes begin to water Breathing in through her nose, Mi Qing shut off her laptop and focused on waiting for her evening meal

The next day, she slept until 10:00AM before getting up The first thing she had done when she left ho the driver for recoht General Merchandise before proceeding to White Knight Plaza On the third day, she decided to explore Starlight Park

When she was leaving the hotel, the receptionist called out to her “Miss Mi, your room will be checked out at 11:00pm today Do you want to extend your stay?”

Mi Qing said, “Mn Wait for me to return to handle the transaction”

“Okay The latest we can set aside the room for you is 2:00PM”

Mi Qing nodded and continued to buy-buy-buy and eat-eat-eat during her stay

Because she needed to return at noon to pack up her things, Mi Qing ate lunch at Starlight Park’s restaurant before deciding to directly return to the hotel When she went to pay the bill, however, she discovered that her one

Because she had quite a lot of cash on her, she had used a pouch specifically to hold her money, but now, that pouch had disappeared without trace

Mi Qing’s heart immediately panicked That pouch held nearly all her money

The waiter saw that her co bit her lip before retrieving money from her purse to hand over to the waiter to pay for the meal

Her purse only had soh for her to pay the bill after eating Inside was roughly a thousand yuan Even though she spent antly, she still had the conscience to keep her belongings safe Although she still had her purse right now, her

In a split second, nuest possibility was theft But as the thief, and where did the theft occur? How did the thief know that she had placed her money specifically in a pouch? Did he happen to see her buy clothes the first two days, and after watching her attentively, he had found an opportunity to steal it today?

She searched her ht chocolate at the chocolate store, she still had her pouch In other words, it was stolen when she was taking pictures at Oceanic Flowers?

The waiter delivered her change, and, upon seeing her pale co unwell?”

“I’e and quickly left the restaurant Even though she knew shefor it by retracing her steps

Not le yuan

Even when she had heard that she was being forced to marry a man she didn’t know, she hadn’t despaired like this

Right now, to her, money was her entire sense of security

She wanted to use her cell phone to report to the police, but she orried that the police would contact her family Oceanic Floasn’t monitored She also didn’t kno the thief had stolen fro

She disappointedly crouched on the ground before taking a car to return to the hotel

When she passed by the reception desk, the receptionist lady once again gave her a reminder “Miss Mi, do you want to extend your stay?”

Mi Qing paused and said, “No need I’ll go pack s and check out”

These past few days at the hotel, she had racked up a lot of rooes When she had to settle the bill, not only was it not taken from her deposit, she still had to make up for the deficit

Mi Qing currently rejoiced, for she still had a bit of money in her hotel room If not, she would’ve had to meet the police today

Carrying her luggage out of the hotel, she rifled through all of her pockets and carefully counted how much money she had left

Altogether, she had ¥30850

She stuffed all of her bank notes and coins into her purse and stared blankly at the sky

As long as the return ticket to C City was ¥43, then ¥30850 would allow her to smoothly return home

But returning like this——it would be very difficult for her to flee ho forced to try on a wedding dress

But if she continued to stay in A City, she would be faced with the wretched situation of sleeping on the streets

…Ah, the sunlight is very dazzling

She regained her vision and disappointedly dragged her suitcase down the street

Although she could try to find work here, where should she even look? Even if she found a job, would they pay her in advance? She only had ¥300 on her right now; she didn’t even knohere she was going to stay tonight

Waiting at the roadside for custo at her, “Pretty girl, want a ride?”

Mi Qing, face pale, smiled “No need”

She herself didn’t knohere she should go

Following the street, Mi Qing walked for an hour before her legs finally began protesting She walked towards a bench on the curb and sat down, very h-heeled shoes Should she consider her own is?

Still not particularly well-rested, a drop of ice-cold rainwater fell upon her right cheek without any warning

Mi Qing blanked and used her hand to wipe away the rain droplet

…I can’t possibly have this ht?

She raised her head to look up at the sky Rain droplets fell one by one to the earth in an especially poetic manner

Mi Qing: “…”

She quickly grabbed her suitcase and ran As far as her eyes could see, there was no place to take shelter from the rain

Fortunately, the rain wasn’t very heavy She ran down the road before she finally found a small store She flew up the steps

Using a paper towel to wipe her soaked hair and overcoat, Mi Qing withdrew aher reflection Her makeup was still flawless

As she stood there waiting for the rain to stop, she looked around her This seemed to be like a residential area, as there were several residential ho to the houses’ appearances, this should be an old district Even the la city property

Yi——wait a minute

She dragged her suitcase behind her and carefully examined the ad

『 South City Garden; Elaborately Decorated, 100 Square Meters, 2 Room Apartment, Monthly Rent Only ￥299! If interested, quickly contact Mr Xiao at 138xxxxxxXX! 』

Mi Qing’s eyes brightened ¥299——she would still have ¥950 after she paid the rent Rounded up, that would be ¥10!

She immediately withdrew her phone and dialed the nu that she inputted the numbers in correctly, she pressed the call button

「 No answer 」

She didn’t give up and dialed again, but there was still no answer

She hung up and directly tore the A4 paper with the small advertise to immediately head to South City Garden

At this tied her suitcase behind her and looked everywhere She was able to find a building with the words 『 South City Garden 』 on it easily

Two aunts, ere holding a pair of large folding fans in their hands, were leaving the entrance It see held the small apartment rental advertise, “Auntie, do you know this Mr Xiao?”

The aunt looked at her before she reement “This seems to be Boss Xiao’s phone number He wanted to rent an apartment?”

Mi Qing blinked at her with her large eyes “Boss Xiao? Do you knohere he lives? I dialed this phone number, but no one answered”

The aunt turned around and used her fan to point at a building “That building, floor 6, room B701 But ould he rent it for ¥299 a month; this apartment…”

“Thank you!” The aunt was stillquickly thanked her and ran up the steps to the sixth floor

Just now, she had concluded that this area was a so had no elevator

Having to carry her luggage as she climbed 7 floors, this could be described as a disaster for Mi Qing Mi Qing’s high-heeled shoes could be said to be the cause of the devastating disaster

She stood at the bottoain used her phone to dial Mr Xiao’s phone nuain, no one answered

Mi Qing took a deep breath before she lifted her suitcase with one hand and climbed up with a brave face

She stopped midway three tiasped heavily for air as she pressed the doorbell

Quickly after, footsteps slightly rang out as they approached the door What folloas a ka-cha sound as a ’s face She slightly lifted her head and caught sight of thein front of her

With an inverted triangle body-shape and extre a white shi+rt and jeans, he made people’s blood rush even ht, however, was his handsoaze uid sexiness that was the ht now

Although she was stunned by his charinal reason she came here “hello, may I ask if this apartment is for rent?”
