"Haqiu!"

Qiao Wanwan, who was suddenly pushed aside by the crowd in the distance, couldn't help but sneeze.

She had been pushed from near the bridge to a small stall in the distance long ago.

She looked around, but Chunxia had disappeared.

I was filled with regret. Why did I have to agree to go to the bridge?

I couldn't squeeze in, and I even got separated from someone I knew.

She looked at the densely packed crowd on the bridge and couldn't tell who was who at all.

Gu Chaomu and Chunxia were nowhere to be seen.

Hey!

Oh well, at least they both have martial arts skills and can find a way to save themselves.

She'll find something to do nearby for now.

Qiao Wanwan picked up the spare money bag in her arms.

Hoo ho ho!

Fortunately, she had some money on her, so even without Chunxia by her side, she was able to happily spend money to shop!

Qiao Wanwan would happily buy whatever looked delicious to eat.

They also bought some pretty lanterns and carried a bunch of trinkets in their hands.

Apart from the areas around popular projects, which are overcrowded, other places are fine and not too crowded.

She was as free and happy as a proud ragdoll cat, yet she held a little rabbit lantern in her hand.

Single men passing by were all deeply attracted to her face illuminated by the lantern, and some were even targeted by unscrupulous men.

"What a beautiful woman."

A group of thugs behind him couldn't take their eyes off a pretty girl passing by.

He took a deep breath of the fragrance in the air as the woman passed by.

He stared at the lone woman in front of him, swallowing hard with a lecherous look.

The man in the lead snapped his fan shut.

The henchman beside him followed the gaze and said:

"Boss, that girl looks amazing! She's got both looks and a great figure, she's a stunning beauty!"

"Haha, she's the one for today."

"Brothers, let's launch a sneaky raid on some wild beasts."

"Alright, hahaha!"

They all knew that many young ladies would go out shopping during the Lantern Festival, and they were taking advantage of the festival to meet some of these ladies.

Those who are bold can certainly find more wives quickly and easily.

After all, in their minds, as long as a woman loses her reputation, she will be willing to marry him wholeheartedly.

At this moment, Qiao Wanwan was unaware that several men had already followed behind her.

...

Gu Chaomu, on the bridge, grabbed the woman's wrist and pushed desperately through the crowd, eventually managing to reach the top of the bridge.

Gu Chaomu led the group forward, excitedly talking as he went.

"Wanwan, we've finally made it to the bridge. They say it's very effective, why don't we give it a try?"

Just then, the person he was holding struggled to shake off his grip and shouted:

"You scoundrel, let go of me!"

"?"

Gu Chaomu, who was walking forward, suddenly froze and looked back.

His gaze followed the woman's hand in his and moved upwards, only to see the woman who had just arrived in Anqi City and gone to Yurong Inn, the one he had fought with.

Qin Qing, the daughter of Qin Huai Shen.

Where is Qiao Wanwan now, behind him?

"It's you!"

Gu Chaomu immediately pushed the woman away and asked with a questioning attitude:

"What are you doing here? Where's Wanwan?"

"Wanwan? What Wanwan? What kind of attitude is this?"

The woman angrily pointed at Gu Chaomu.

"You're the one who pulled me up from under the bridge. I'm the victim. And you still treat me with this questioning attitude? Are you tired of living? Believe me or not, I'll tell Uncle Lin and have him come and kill you."

"Hmph, you're really being unreasonable. You deliberately came up behind me, and didn't even say a word when I pulled the wrong person. Weren't you just trying to get my attention?"

"What are you saying! I'm already got plenty of suitors, do I need to attract you? You shameless man!"

The woman's face flushed red after being mocked by Gu Chaomu, and she reached for the sword at her waist.

Gu Chaomu sensed something was wrong.

It's crowded and crowded here; if a fight breaks out with this woman here...

It will definitely cause injury and trouble to those around them.

He approached the woman and reached out to grab the sword at her waist.

"You scoundrel, what are you doing? Get out of my way!"

"These are just ordinary people. If you don't want your Qin family to bear a criminal charge, then put away your sword and don't do anything reckless."

"... "

The woman felt it was somewhat inappropriate, but she still couldn't bring herself to do it to save face.

She glared angrily at the man, her eyes darting around, then raised her foot and stomped hard on the man's foot.

"hiss!"

Gu Chaomu, who was suddenly stepped on by the woman, staggered backward in pain.

Seeing his distress, Qin Qing watched as if it were a funny spectacle, and said smugly:

"Hmph, isn't that all because you, you good-for-nothing, made me angry? You have to swallow all the pain I've caused you."

Gu Chaomu's face turned ashen.

"In that case, I shall take my leave."

Gu Chaomu didn't want to get into a fight with this woman; he just wanted to find Qiao Wanwan as soon as possible.

He continued to move Qiao Wanwan, making her refocus her attention on him.

But the woman opposite him became anxious when she saw that he was about to leave.

She ran in front of him and blocked him with her arms outstretched.

"Hey, you playboy. You're the one who led me onto the bridge, causing me to get separated from Uncle Lin. You have to take responsibility for me. Tonight, you're the one taking me out to play. Don't even think about running away."

The woman kept threatening Gu Chaomu, her face full of arrogance, looking down at the man with disdain.

Gu Chaomu was really annoyed.

"I have other matters to attend to, Miss Qin, please do not linger."

"What entanglement? You were clearly in the wrong first. Now you're blaming me?"

As the woman spoke, she pouted her red lips and her eyes began to redden with grievance.

Gu Chaomu hated it when women cried, so he sighed helplessly and asked her:

"What do you want Miss Qin to do to let me go?"

The woman pouted and said with dissatisfaction:

"I already said I want you to play with me."

"... "

Gu Chaomu frowned slightly, watching the woman opposite him act like a child, willful and capricious, insisting that she couldn't live without him.

Despite feeling helpless, she was also full of confidence in the charm she exuded.

He knew that this unreasonable woman in front of him must have taken a liking to him.

Seeing that Qiao Wanwan was nowhere to be seen, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He nodded in agreement.

“Alright, as long as I take you out to find your family, Miss Qin Huai will let me leave.”

"Okay, it's a deal."

The woman smiled immediately upon hearing the man's agreement.

She even grabbed the man's arm without any sense of propriety.

Gu Chaomu didn't refuse, listening to the lively woman's cheerful urging beside him:

"Let's go, let's go, where are we going?"

...

Alone, Qiao Wanwan, separated from her companion, wandered through the streets and alleys, listening to the talented men and beautiful women guessing riddles and watching everyone compete in the pitch-pot game, thoroughly enjoying herself.

The couples passing by made her seem incredibly lonely.

But Qiao Wanwan didn't think so. She could do whatever she wanted, free and happy, without caring about other people's opinions.
