When Zhou Kexin saw the large pale pink mark on the skin, his eyes stopped and his pupils shrank unconsciously.

Nancy noticed her gaze and looked down, only to find that it was her scar that was exposed.

She quickly put down her hands and covered the scars with her sleeves, but still had a faint smile on her face.

"Sorry, did I scare you?"

Realizing his own gaffe, Zhou Kexin came back to his senses and gave a slightly apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure, I just..."

After a pause, Zhou Kexin realized that what he was about to say might hurt Nancy, so he rolled the words in his throat again and organized his words.

Seeing her embarrassment, Nancy chuckled and said, "It's okay, it's all in the past."

Zhou Kexin was stunned when he saw Nancy's calm expression, which did not seem fake.

That scar, if she was not mistaken, should be a burn.

There are all kinds of people in the wealthy circle. She has seen a wealthy wife deal with her mistress in a ruthless way, trying to burn the mistress to death with fire. In the end, the mistress was unwilling to give in and wanted to die with the wife with burns all over her body.

That incident caused a huge stir in the circle at the time and was considered a scandal among wealthy families. Zhou Kexin had also seen photos of the scene and was quite impressed by the burns.

The scar on Nancy's arm was light pink. Although it was shallow, it could be seen that it covered a large area.

But when she observed Nancy's expression, she did not see any selfishness, sadness or other negative emotions on Nancy's face.

For an ordinary woman, having such a large scar on her body would have her personality affected to some extent, but after getting along with Nancy, she didn't notice anything unusual.

On the contrary, Nancy is graceful and knows when to act, and her words and actions exude the temperament of a lady from a noble family.

Zhou Kexin has been working in the workplace for many years and prides herself on having strong psychological qualities, but she feels that Nancy is even more stable than her.

People like this are very rare.

"How long have you been doing this?" Zhou Kexin couldn't help but ask carefully out of curiosity.

At this time, the waiter came over with the dishes they ordered and carefully placed them on the table.

Exquisite desserts were placed in front of her. Nancy didn't speak until the waiter bowed and left. Her tone was normal but she didn't mean to say more.

"Several years."

Seeing that Nancy didn't want to say more, Zhou Kexin tactfully stopped asking.

Her eyes unconsciously fell on Nancy's injured arm again. A person who had been hurt before was willing to help a stranger even though she knew there was danger.

This caused a surge of complex emotions in her heart, and the look she gave Nancy was somewhat ambiguous.

For a moment, the balance in her heart began to sway unconsciously.

Zhou Kexin took a look at the desserts in front of him and pushed one of the mango syrups in front of Nancy.

"Try this, mango sago, it's the specialty of this place."

Nancy had a sweet tooth and took a spoon to taste it.

The rich mango flavor mixed with the sweet aroma of coconut milk blooms on the taste buds, and the bursting taste of sago and grapefruit makes this dessert layered and you have a different feeling with every bite.

Nancy's almond-shaped eyes sparkled, and she widened them in surprise. Then she looked at Zhou Kexin and nodded, "It's really good."

Zhou Kexin smiled and pushed other desserts in front of Nancy: "If you like it, eat more. These are very good."

Seeing that Zhou Kexin didn't eat, Nancy felt a little embarrassed: "Sister Zhou, I feel embarrassed when you do this. Let's eat together."

Zhou Kexin then realized that he had been too busy letting Nancy eat.

She paused, picked up a bowl of dessert, placed it in front of her, and began to eat it in small bites.

Nancy felt that the atmosphere with Zhou Kexin was pretty good. At least she didn't feel awkward. Zhou Kexin was a very sensible person and didn't make her feel uncomfortable.

But ever since she experienced betrayal, she no longer believed in so-called friendship, so she always remained a little wary of Zhou Kexin.

After a fairly relaxing afternoon tea, Nancy looked at the time and found that it was still early, so she wanted to go shopping again to see if there was anything else she needed to buy, and to bring back some snacks or small gifts for her daughter.

The meeting at the weekend was not only her first time meeting her in-laws, but also her daughter's first time meeting her grandparents. Nancy hoped that her in-laws would like their daughter too.

After thinking about it, she decided to buy two more clothes for her daughter.

Nancy looked at Zhou Kexin who was sitting opposite her and said, "Sister Zhou, I need to go shopping again later. You..."

Zhou Kexin immediately said, "I don't have anything to do this afternoon anyway, can I come with you?"

After getting to know Nancy, she felt that she was a very charming woman. No wonder her nephew liked her so much.

She also wanted to have a deeper contact with Nancy to see if she could discover something different.

Nancy thought about it and felt that having one more person would give her more references, so she agreed: "If Sister Zhou doesn't mind the trouble, then of course I have no problem with that."

Zhou Kexin smiled and said, "Why would I find it troublesome? I just came to Haicheng recently. I'm very happy that you are willing to go shopping with me."

Zhou Kexin said this with some sincerity.

In Kyoto, the line of people who wanted to go shopping with her stretched all the way to Haicheng, but she ignored them all.

Because she knew that those people wanted to please her and get closer to her because of the Zhou family behind her so that they could gain benefits through her.

In fact, behind her back, those rich girls looked down on her, thinking she was an old maid, rigid, unable to adapt, and unworthy of their true love.

But Nancy is different. She has a sincere heart. She doesn't care about her identity and has no purpose for herself.

Zhou Kexin even couldn't help but wonder, if Nancy was not Zhou Jinfan's wife, would they become good friends and confidants.

A look of pity flashed across her eyes.

Unfortunately, no if.

If Zhou Jinfan really did what Shi Lin said, then there would be a hostile relationship between them.

After the discussion, Zhou Kexin and Nancy walked out of the dessert shop and continued shopping in the mall.

After walking around, Nancy didn't see any other gifts suitable for the elders, so she went directly to the children's clothing area, intending to pick out two sets of clothes for her daughter, and then went directly to the kindergarten to pick up her daughter after school.

Zhou Kexin didn't know what else Nancy wanted to buy, he just stayed quietly by her side and helped her carry things.

After seeing her walk into a clothing store, Zhou Kexin spoke: "Are you looking to buy clothes for your child?"

The image of her daughter's cute and well-behaved fair face emerged in Nancy's mind. Her eyebrows curved and her voice became a little gentler.

"Yes, I'm taking her to meet the elders this weekend. To make it more formal, I want to buy her two sets of clothes."
