You got your marriage certificate and then abandoned me? I'll feed the richest woman in the wor

This is a low-pitched, sarcastic remark.

It spread through the air-conditioned shopping mall aisle.

Shen Wanzhou felt a chill run down her spine from his ambiguous, half-smiling gaze.

The box of imported butter cookies I had just grabbed instantly turned into a hot potato.

She looked like a thief caught red-handed doing something wrong.

Immediately stuff the cookies in his hand onto the shelf behind him.

Because the movements were too hurried.

The cookie box tapped softly against the edge of the shelf.

"I...I just wanted to see if the packaging looked nice."

The muffled voice beneath the mask betrayed a guilty conscience.

She stepped back silently, wearing her rabbit slippers.

I wish I could hide myself inside that oversized black sun-protective windbreaker.

Chen Yuan looked at her, seeing how utterly timid she was.

A low, soft laugh escaped his throat.

The vibrations in the chest cavity are transmitted through the air.

He didn't take out the mountain of snacks.

Instead, she reached out and took the box of butter cookies that she had just been trying to put back.

I took it down again and carefully placed it into the top slot of the shopping cart.

"You can buy it."

Chen Yuan pushed the cart and walked to her side.

He leaned on the shopping cart handle with one hand, his head slightly bowed.

Warm breath brushed past her ear.

"But you can only eat one pack a day, and after you finish eating it you have to go for two laps in the garden."

"If we don't take one more step, the snack section will be completely shut down from now on."

These are unreasonable and domineering rules.

To Shen Wanzhou, it was even more beautiful than heavenly music.

Her captivating eyes, hidden behind her sunglasses, instantly lit up.

Nodding repeatedly, as obediently as a chick pecking at rice.

She'd be willing to run laps around the manor as long as these treasures aren't confiscated.

The two were preparing to push their spoils to the fresh produce section in front.

Just then.

A screeching sound of plastic wheels rubbing against the floor tiles came without warning from the passageway to the side.

This was accompanied by a little boy's unrestrained screaming.

"Charge! Transformers, take off!"

A chubby kid, about seven or eight years old, who was as fat as a ball.

He was pushing a small children's stroller from the supermarket.

In the narrow aisle filled with imported fruit juice in glass bottles.

Like a mad little wild boar, it charged around recklessly.

This child weighs at least 100 pounds.

The cart was pushed at an extremely high speed, with an inertia that seemed to disregard everything else.

He didn't even look in front of him to see if there was anyone there.

With its head down and eyes closed, it made strange noises.

It crashed straight into the blind spot of the shelf where Shen Wanzhou was located.

Shen Wanzhou was extremely sensitive to such sudden noises and uncontrollable strangers.

The piercing scream shattered her eardrums.

She shuddered violently; her body reacted before her brain did.

My instinct was to back away.

But in her panic, her oversized sun-protective windbreaker tripped over the bottom shelf next to her.

He stumbled.

He lost his balance and fell backward.

The stroller, carrying over 100 pounds of momentum, was about to crash into her calf.

Even through a trench coat, this blow is enough to break a bone.

"careful."

A deep, cold voice exploded in my ears.

Chen Yuan's reaction was incredibly fast.

A large, well-defined hand suddenly reached out.

He grabbed Shen Wanzhou's slender waist.

His arm muscles instantly tensed, and he steadily pulled her into his broad embrace.

That clean, cool soap scent.

Like an indestructible shield, it instantly blocked out all dangers.

boom!

Almost at the same second that Shen Wanzhou was pulled away.

The toy cart pushed by the naughty child crashed heavily into the shelf next to where she had just been standing.

The violent impact caused the shelf to shake dangerously.

Several bottles of expensive imported juice are displayed on top.

It fell down with a whoosh.

The glass bottle shattered instantly upon hitting the marble floor tiles.

Sticky fruit juice mixed with glass shards splattered all over the floor.

The child was also jolted by the reaction force and landed hard on his bottom.

After a two-second pause.

"Wow--!"

The child immediately opened his throat and burst into a deafening wail, like a pig being slaughtered.

He kicked wildly with both hands and feet on the ground covered with juice and broken glass.

"What's wrong? What's wrong, my dear grandson!"

I heard crying.

Parents who were picking out high-end seafood nearby rushed over like madmen.

She was a middle-aged woman dressed in jewels and covered in luxury brand logos.

He wore a thick gold necklace around his neck.

His face, full of fat, trembled violently with each hurried step.

She shoved the sales assistant who was blocking her way.

She rushed to the unruly child and tenderly pulled him up from the ground.

After looking him up and down to make sure he wasn't injured,

Those slanted eyes, heavily lined with eyeliner, instantly straightened up.

He glared fiercely at Chen Yuan, who was still protecting Shen Wanzhou beside him.

"How do you walk?! Don't you have eyes?!"

The middle-aged woman pointed at Shen Wanzhou's tightly wrapped-up outfit and began to hurl insults.

Spit flew everywhere in the air.

"Dressed like a ghost, scaring people in broad daylight!"

"Can't you see my grandson pushing the stroller? What are you doing blocking the road!"

"If you damage my precious child, we couldn't afford to pay for it even if we sold all our possessions!"

Rake upside down.

They were extremely arrogant and domineering.

Shen Wanzhou was so startled by the sudden, sharp insults that her breath caught in her throat.

That fear of malice towards strangers surged back like a tidal wave.

She gripped the fabric of Chen Yuan's T-shirt tightly.

His knuckles turned white, and his body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

Chen Yuan felt the girl in his arms tremble.

He lowered his head and patted her thin back twice with his warm, large hands in a comforting manner.

Then.

He slowly raised his head.

Those originally deep and calm black eyes.

The moment the camera swept towards the middle-aged woman and the unruly child.

The temperature plummeted to below absolute zero.

It's like a bloodthirsty steel knife just drawn from the deepest, coldest abyss.

It carries a terrifying aura of someone who has been killing on the dark web for years and treats human life as worthless.

This malevolent aura made no unnecessary movements.

It was even more terrifying than the oppressive feeling of a thousand troops.

The temperature of the surrounding air seemed to be sucked away in that instant.

Chen Yuan strode forward.

Its broad and upright body resembles an insurmountable mountain.

He shielded Shen Wanzhou tightly behind him.

He couldn't be bothered to say a single word of nonsense.

He just looked at it with that cold, lifeless gaze.

He looked down at the face of the unruly child who was still throwing a tantrum on the ground.

They only made eye contact for less than a second.

The brat who was just crying loudly a moment ago.

It's like a rooster being choked.

The crying stopped abruptly.

Those chubby little eyes widened in terror, and the eyeballs contracted violently.

It was as if he could see an ancient, ferocious beast that could tear him to pieces at any moment.

The urge to urinate suddenly became uncontrollable.

A warm, pale yellow liquid flowed down his crotch onto the floor tiles.

Mixed with the juice on the ground, it emitted an unpleasant smell.

The middle-aged woman originally intended to continue her tantrum.

But when she met Chen Yuan's eyes, which were devoid of any human warmth...

All the swear words I was prepared to say were abruptly stuck in my throat.

A chill ran up her tailbone, instantly freezing all her arrogance.

The oppressive aura emanating from this man is terrifying.

It felt like she was about to snap her neck without mercy in the next second.

The onlookers were also intimidated by this aura.

They all involuntarily stepped back, and no one dared to utter a sound.

The brat was so frightened that he plopped down on the ground. The arrogant parent met Chen Yuan's gaze, his legs went weak, and he staggered back, stammering, "You... what do you want to do?"
