Chapter 774 - 767: Strolling the Night Market (Part 1)
Wang Hai drove the car to the nearest shopping mall, which, despite its size, had everything one might need.
Leng Yichen and Bai Yiran, dressed in formal attire, became the instant focus upon entering the mall. Some even mistook them for models promoting a mall event due to their striking appearance and approached them for photos.
Leng Yichen was soon surrounded by a group of fangirls asking for photos, while Bai Yiran stood on the sidelines, smiling as she observed Leng Yichen’s slightly awkward situation. She thought to herself how fortunate it was that her Mr. Leng wasn’t a celebrity; otherwise, the current market for charming uncles and young heartthrobs would be nonexistent.
Leng Yichen frowned at Bai Yiran, who was clearly enjoying his predicament. She chose to come to the mall; truly an expert at putting her husband in difficult situations!
Just as Bai Yiran was laughing gleefully, a few young men came towards her with their phones, shyly looking at Bai Yiran and hoping for a picture with her.
Bai Yiran was wearing a white evening dress that perfectly accentuated her stunning figure. Because a scar on her forehead hadn’t yet healed, she let her slightly curled hair hang loose, giving off a lazy elegance that captured the young men’s gazes, making them unable to look away.
Realizing karma strikes quickly, Bai Yiran thought she shouldn’t be quick to tease others.
Seeing the men approaching Bai Yiran, Leng Yichen’s face darkened. Ignoring the girls around him, he pushed them aside with a sweep of his arm. The girls gasped and their eyes followed Leng Yichen’s gaze.
Leng Yichen strode over and, with a large hand, grabbed the collar of the boy nearest to Bai Yiran.
The boy, shyly speaking to Bai Yiran one moment, found himself lifted off the ground the next. He cried out in surprise, and upon turning his head, he saw Leng Yichen’s coldly stern face. Before he could say anything, Leng Yichen tossed him aside, and the boy stumbled to catch himself against a wall.
The women were in awe of Leng Yichen’s impressive strength, their mouths agape and eyes wide. The remarkable display of boyfriend strength was truly mesmerizing.
The boy who’d been tossed expressed his dissatisfaction, feeling humiliated by Leng Yichen’s actions, which he perceived as undermining his manliness. But facing Leng Yichen, who was a head taller, he didn’t dare to act out; he could only lean against the wall with a spiteful glare.
After witnessing the earlier scene, the other men surrounding Bai Yiran wisely dispersed.
Leng Yichen glared at Bai Yiran, "Was this your intention for coming here?"
Bai Yiran shook her head with a playful grin, clutching her skirt with one hand and taking Leng Yichen’s hand with the other as they headed to the sports section on the fourth floor of the mall.
Soon, they changed out of their expensive formal wear and into outfits from a well-known sports brand.
Bai Yiran admired their reflection in the mirror beside Leng Yichen and nodded in satisfaction.
Leng Yichen was much taller than her, and considerably more muscular, making them a perfectly matched pair in their coordinated sports attire.
"Let’s go!" Bai Yiran said playfully to Leng Yichen, pulling his hand as they headed out of the mall.
Only when they arrived did Leng Yichen realize Bai Yiran wanted to take him to a night market.
Indeed, Leng Yichen had never been to a night market before, considering the place too crowded and chaotic. The various smells weren’t too pleasant, with snacks exposed directly to air filled with bacteria and car exhaust. He felt such places were unsuitable for himself, and certainly for Bai Yiran.
He had always forbidden Bai Yiran from eating street food or visiting night markets.
Seeing Leng Yichen frown and stand still at the entrance of the night market, Bai Yiran pulled a sad face and once again showed a puppy-like expression, "You promised me!"
"But you didn’t say it would be here."
"If I had said it, you wouldn’t have agreed!" Bai Yiran pouted in grievance.
At this moment, Bai Yiran felt less like Leng Yichen’s wife and more like his daughter, needing approval for everything, and at risk of having him change his mind at any time!
