1218 Sweet Troubles

Rong Si was about to start the car when Su Jiu stopped him. “I don’t want to take the car today. I want to walk back with you.”

Rong Si raised his eyebrows. “Aren’t you afraid of being recognized?”

“I came prepared!” Su Jiu took out masks and hats from her bag. They were matching sets, one black and one white. As she handed the black one to him, her big eyes sparkled. “Do you want to walk back with me?”

Rong Si’s eyes became indulgent, and he stroked her hair. “Okay, I’ll listen to you. Help me put it on.”

He bent down slightly, and his expectant gaze made it impossible for Su Jiu to refuse.

She put the hat and mask on his face and lowered the brim of the hat to cover most of his face. This way, he would not be easily recognized. However, the big shot’s figure was quite eye-catching, just like that of a male model. He would probably still attract attention when he walked on the street in this get up.

This is also a sweet worry!

Just as she was thinking this, she heard Rong Si ask, “Why do you want to walk back with me?”

Su Jiu pouted. “We’ve been together for so long, but we always take the car when we go out. It’s rare for me to have the chance to shop and walk with you like an ordinary couple. When I came here, I saw that the streets were so lively, and I was a little tempted. I want to walk with you. Is that okay?”

The corners of Rong Si’s lips curled up. “Of course. As the fiancé, I have to unconditionally support what my fiancée wants to do.”

Su Jiu snickered and asked, “Really? What if it’s something bad?”

“That can’t be helped. If you insist on doing bad things, then… I can only be an accomplice. In short, no matter what you do, I will stand on your side.”

Rong Si’s tone was helpless but serious. When he spoke, his deep eyes looked at her deeply, as if he could see into her heart. Su Jiu’s heart began to beat erratically again. Then, she suddenly laughed. “No way, no way! No one can be so in love that they don’t even care about their values!”

However, in the original novel, the big boss had really been a person who would go astray. Fortunately, he had turned over a new leaf. Su Jiu’s heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Su Jiu and Rong Si held hands as they walked down the street. They saw many people shopping for the New Year. Children pestered their parents to buy candy. It was bustling with activity.

She had never felt much about the New Year. All she did was have a reunion dinner with her family and hang out with her relatives. Now that she saw such a lively scene, she truly felt the strong atmosphere of the New Year.

She had always liked sweets. So when she saw shops selling sweets, she could not look away. Many children were choosing sweets. Those soft candy floss and candied hawthorns looked delicious.

Because she was a celebrity, Su Jiu usually had to pay attention to her appearance and figure. But she didn’t want to care about such things right now. She shook Rong Si’s arm. “Let’s buy some candy.”

Rong Si looked down at her. “How old are you to be eating candy like a little kid?”

“Who’s to say that I can’t eat candy when I grow up? Tell me. Are you going to buy them for me?” Pretending to be angry, Su Jiu glared at him.

She looked like an angry pufferfish now, appearing adorable. Rong Si couldn’t help but smile. “Okay, I’ll buy them for you.”

He held her hand and walked into the shop. Taking up a basket, he filled it with sweets for her. Su Jiu wanted to try everything and ended up picking a large variety of sweets.

At that moment, Rong Si took a handful of candy and placed it in the basket. “You need more of this.”

“Huh?” Su Jiu subconsciously looked over and realized that he was holding…

Strawberry candy!
