In order to survive, she forced herself to have a happy ending with the yandere villain.

Qiao Wanwan, carrying a rabbit lantern, ran to the sugar painting stall.

Looking at the candy drawn on the straw, her slender fingers pointed to a golden butterfly that looked as real as if it were dancing.

"Boss, I want a butterfly one."

"Alright, miss, please take it."

"Thank you."

Qiao Wanwan paid the money and took the goods in one hand.

Looking at the sweet candy, she couldn't resist putting it to her red lips and taking a bite, her face full of joy.

They left the stall with light, quick steps.

Several people lingered at the spot they had just left.

"Boss, when are we going up?"

"When she gets to the front and there aren't so many people, we'll get to know her properly."

"it is good."

Qiao Wanwan, unaware of what was happening, walked out while still chewing on the sugar painting.

Thinking in my mind:

After wandering around for a while, I'll head back to find Chunxia and the others, otherwise they'll be worried sick.

Just then, someone suddenly darted out and blocked her way.

"Miss, please wait a moment."

"?"

Qiao Wanwan stopped in her tracks and frowned slightly as she looked at the man in front of her.

The man in front of them slammed his fan shut.

His glazed eyes and lecherous smile made Qiao Wanwan feel uncomfortable.

She didn't recognize the person either, and thought: This must be the wrong person, right?

Qiao Wanwan didn't want to ask any more questions and turned to leave.

Suddenly, several people appeared behind her, surrounding her and staring at her with lustful eyes.

Seeing Qiao Wanwan's pretty face, he even smacked his lips a few times.

This is clearly harassment!

Qiao Wanwan took a few steps back in disgust.

The man behind her, holding a fan, assumed the woman was afraid.

Seeing his underlings so boldly frightening his prey, he glared at them.

After receiving a look from their boss, the underlings became much more restrained.

The man behind Qiao Wanwan slowly approached her.

"Young lady, it's fate that we've met. Why don't we get to know each other?"

"... "

Qiao Wanwan had a bad feeling. Had she run into a playboy?

She turned slightly to look at the playboy and asked in a questioning tone.

"you are?"

The man confidently opened his fan and fanned himself a few times.

"Cough cough."

He coughed lightly twice, and then his underlings began to fawn over the girl, introducing their boss in an exaggerated manner:

"My beauty, you don't understand, do you? Our boss is the nephew of General Yang, the garrison commander of Anqi City. He has a noble status and a prominent position. His family also has property bestowed by the higher authorities. He is a well-known noble family in Anqi City. He's very powerful."

A group of henchmen rubbed their hands together and continued to fawn over him, saying:

"Yeah, our boss is dashing and devoted in love. It's just a pity we're not women, otherwise we would have confessed our love to him long ago."

"Hahaha~"

The men, who had been praised to the skies, burst into laughter and quickly put away their fans.

As if to give the woman a chance, he raised an eyebrow to remind Qiao Wanwan:

"Young lady, to be honest, I have taken a liking to you. If you marry into our Huang family, you can enjoy a lifetime of wealth and luxury, with no worries about food, drink, or entertainment."

A sinister glint flashed in the playboy's eyes as he offered kind advice:

"Otherwise, young lady, you can forget about staying in Anqi City, and neither can your family..."

"... "

Qiao Wanwan secretly rolled her eyes.

It's hilarious.

What kind of respectable family would block a young woman's path and threaten her into marrying them?

"Sorry, I'm not interested in you."

"what!"

Playboy's eyes widened, and he reminded him again incredulously:

"I'm a powerful and influential man. I advise you to behave yourself and not act like the previous woman, or I won't show any mercy and will let you experience the punishment we brothers will give you!"

Qiao Wanwan thought to herself:

So he's a repeat offender; no wonder he was so arrogant in public.

She wasn't scared, because she was best at running away.

He scoffed disdainfully:

"What a joke! So what if you have power and influence? Do you want to become a criminal who abducts women?"

The other party heard Qiao Wanwan's reckless words.

He was so angry that his eyes widened, and he opened that broken fan and fanned himself frantically, taking deep breaths.

He beckoned to the henchman behind the woman and said:

"Come on, since this beauty doesn't know what's good for her, let her see what I'm capable of. Seize her!"

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order, the henchmen instantly abandoned their ridiculous and lewd behavior and began to surround the woman.

"!"

Seeing that things were going badly, Qiao Wanwan gripped the object in her hand tightly.

As they were about to run up, he quickly threw out the scattered items in his hand, which hit the group of henchmen hard.

This gave her time to escape the encirclement and leave quickly, though the playboy behind her still wanted to catch up.

Qiao Wanwan immediately slapped the half-eaten sugar painting in her hand right across the playboy's face.

An object suddenly appeared and hit him in the face, causing him to fall backward and land face-first in the dirt. He cried out, "Ouch, ouch!"

"Master!"

A group of his underlings rushed forward and helped him up.

The playboy had just removed the sticky candy from his face when he realized the woman had already run quite a distance away.

He shouted angrily.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and chase after her! I can't let my beauty get away."

"Yes!"

On a deserted street, five burly men were chasing after a delicate woman.

The burly man shoved aside any passersby blocking his way and chased after the woman relentlessly.

"stop!"

"You bitch, stop right there!"

"Don't run!"

People who are pursuing someone will always only say these few phrases.

Why would the people in front stop and let them grab them?

Shabi!

Qiao Wanwan was cursing inwardly.

She saw that the people behind her were catching up quickly, and she knew things couldn't go on like this.

We need to go to a crowded area and try to stop them while there are many people around. Then we need to go back to the bridge to ask Gu Chaomu and the others for help.

The plan to finish writing all of this.

Qiao Wanwan gritted her teeth, quickened her pace, and turned towards the busier street.

A group of people stood by, watching the acrobatic performance and the lion and dragon dances on the road, clapping and cheering with joy.

Only one woman broke into the dragon dance troupe and weaved through the crowd.

A group of angry, burly men followed behind him.

As Qiao Wanwan ran, panting, she apologized to the people in the group:

"Excuse me, could you move aside?"

Fireworks lit up the dragon dance, creating beautiful bursts that shone on the women's busy faces, making it a stunning sight.

Unfortunately, she didn't have time to appreciate it, because she was running for her life.

She had finally reached the tail of the dragon, and was almost at the Magpie Bridge. Her eyes sparkled, and she prayed in her heart:

I hope I can meet someone I know soon to help her!

But then, an unexpected situation arose.

With a "thud," as she dodged the fireworks from the dragon's tail, Qiao Wanwan shifted to the side, accidentally bumping her shoulder into someone.

He fell to the ground.

But then an extra hand appeared around her waist and pulled her up.

The hair that almost touched the fireworks was swept away in an instant, without being hurt in the slightest.

Qiao Wanwan looked at the silver-framed brocade robe in front of her and realized that she was being protected in someone's arms. The other person's clean and smooth black hair gently fell on her face, and it also carried the familiar scent of herbs.

She slightly raised her eyes and looked up, only to meet the gaze of a man wearing a silver mask with half of his face cut out.

The eyes beneath the mask were the same peach blossom eyes that Qiao Wanwan knew all too well, along with that familiar scent.

He was certain that the other person was Xie Ze!

The woman's eyes shimmered with a glassy, ​​watery light, as if they held the stars.

Her face was full of surprise as she called his name with certainty:

"Xie Ze".

"!!"

The masked man visibly stiffened, his lips parted slightly, and his voice sounded somewhat incredulous.

"Wanwan, how...how did you know it was me?"

At this point, Qiao Wanwan proudly began to explain:

“What’s so difficult about that? I recognized you at a glance by your body scent and your unique eyes.”

"... "

The man paused for a moment, then fell silent. Qiao Wanwan had no idea what he was thinking.

But one can clearly see that, under the fireworks blooming from the dragon's tail, the man's rosy lips slowly curved upwards.

I guess he must be happy?

She couldn't help but smile.

Just then, the two heard an irritating sound.

"Still running? Let's see how long you can keep running!"

Qiao Wanwan suddenly remembered that she was still being pestered by the spoiled young master, and hurriedly grabbed Xie Ze's silver robe, saying with a wronged expression:

"Xie Ze, someone is bullying me!"

"!"
