I arranged a marriage for you, not made you invincible under a disguise.

Old Huang and Xiao Qi settled into the hotel.

That night, Shen Tu Mo still did not return to the hotel.

Shen Sixi didn't care whether he came back or not, and slept very well by herself.

Old Huang's herb garden is nice, but it's nowhere near as comfortable as a five-star hotel.

After a very restful sleep, Shen Sixi went out shopping with Yu Chaodi and Shen Tu Rong the next day.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Old Huang told them to take Xiao Qi with them, as Xiao Qi had been blind for so many years and hadn't had a proper outing in a long time.

Shen Sixi had no objection, and Shen Tu Rong and Yu Chaodi didn't say anything either. What was rare was that Xiao Qi herself agreed.

The four of them headed to the busiest commercial street in the vicinity.

Finally, they could go out and have fun. Shen Tu Rong was the most excited. She couldn't stay still in the car. She would chat with Yu Chao Di, bicker with Xiao Qi, and ask Shen Sixi some small questions.

Shen Sixi answered Shen Tu Rong's questions while looking at her phone. Seeing that Shen Sixi was looking at her phone, Shen Tu Rong assumed that Shen Sixi was busy with something and stopped bothering her.

Shen Sixi was fine; she was just looking at the new text message Xiaohua had sent.

Xiao Hua said that someone else had tried to buy her life from the Temple of Angels. That person was quite stupid; he didn't know how to hide his identity.

—It's Shen Siyan.

Upon seeing Shen Siyan's name, Shen Sixi couldn't help but be surprised. Where did Shen Siyan get the money?

With the Shen family gone, Shen Siyan couldn't even afford a plane ticket back to China last time.

Now they've actually gone to the Temple of Angels with such a grand gesture, claiming they're going to buy Shen Sixi's life?

What has happened in China during this time? Shen Sixi was a little curious.

Shen Sixi sent a message to Xiaohua: "Send someone to investigate Shen Siyan. I need to know what happened to Shen Siyan while I was away from the country."

Originally, Shen Sixi had almost forgotten about Shen Siyan.

If Shen Siyan hadn't bumped into her, Shen Sixi wouldn't have even remembered her.

However, since Shen Siyan has taken the initiative to come forward, Shen Sixi doesn't mind sending someone to investigate her.

After all, Shen Siyan is the female lead in the story.

But Shen Sixi's interest in Shen Siyan was limited to this.

Just send someone to check; Shen Sixi herself is too lazy to pay attention to her.

Xiaohua: [Yes.]

Shen Sixi thought for a moment, then added: "Also, send someone to keep an eye on Chu Lian for a couple of days."

I wonder how far Chu Lian and Shen Siyan's relationship has progressed.

I wonder if Chu Lian has been recognized by her biological parents and returned to their wealthy family.

Xiaohua: [Yes.]

The taxi was still moving, and the scenery outside the window gradually became more bustling.

Shen Tu Rong and Yu Chao Di leaned against the car window, curiously observing the outside world.

Having been in Southeast Asia for so many days, the two of them hadn't traveled this far yet.

Shen Sixi yawned, glanced at the text message Xiaohua sent, and put her phone away.

He could hear Shen Tu Rong and Yu Chao Di talking.

Shen Tu Rong was very excited and kept chattering.

Yu Chaodi also seemed very happy, her eyes sparkling.

Actually, there's not much to see outside. They were just too cooped up in the hotel for so long, and they were happy to be able to go out.

Infected by the emotions of the two, Shen Sixi's lips curved into a smile as well.

The group ate, took photos, went shopping, and had fun all day.

In the evening, Shen Tu Rong didn't want to go back to the hotel and suggested strolling through the food street.

Yu Chaodi responded immediately, and Shen Sixi nodded indifferently. Xiao Qi, carrying a pile of things, remained silent.

He rarely showed a slightly depressed expression.

Shen Tu Rong found it strange that Xiao Qi had kept a cool, expressionless face from yesterday until now.

This was the first time she had ever seen him show emotion.

Shen Tu Rong couldn't resist teasing him: "Little Qi, are you tired?"

Xiao Qi glanced at her, hesitated, and nodded.

Shen Tu Rong: "Do you want to go back to the hotel?"

Xiaoqi nodded again.

Shen Tu Rong pointed to the long food street ahead: "We'll go back after we finish walking along this street. Isn't your sister good to you?"

Xiaoqi looked at the street, her expression becoming even more depressed.

Yu Chaodi glanced at the pile of things in Xiao Qi's hands, felt a little embarrassed, and quickly stepped forward: "Let me do it."

Yu Chaodi is the eldest sister in the family and is used to taking care of the younger ones.

But today she had been following Shen Sixi and being pulled along by Shen Tu Rong, so she forgot to help Xiao Qi.

Xiaoqi avoided the question, saying, "No need, I can manage."

Shen Tu Rong laughed heartily: "Good boy, I'll treat you to a drink."

There's a beverage shop not far away.

As Shen Tu Rong spoke, he lowered his head and pretended to rummage through his bag.

They had already exchanged their currency for the local currency, and Shen Tu Rong had put all of it in his bag.

Her bag wasn't big, but it was stuffed full of things.

Cash, cell phone, ID card, cushion foundation, lipstick, perfume...

Shen Tu Rong had all her belongings in her bag, but when she looked down, the bag was gone.

"Where's my bag!?"

Yu Chaodi frowned with worry, recalling, "What happened? It was just here three minutes ago!"

"Sister Xi, I lost my bag..." Faced with difficulties, Shen Tu Rong instinctively turned to Shen Sixi.

Losing a bag is nothing, but the trouble is that all your documents are inside.

It's a hassle to get a replacement in a foreign country.

As a result, Shen Sixi disappeared at some point.

"Where's Sister Xi?!" Shen Tu Rong was stunned.

"I don't know, it was just here a moment ago," Yu Chaodi answered tremblingly.

The two looked at Xiaoqi questioningly, but Xiaoqi frowned slightly, shook her head, and didn't notice.

"It's all over, it's completely over! Waaah, how could Sister Xi have disappeared!?"

Shen Tu Rong's voice trembled with tears, and she seemed even more panicked than when she had lost her bag and documents.

Yu Chaodi was even more panicked than her. Without Shen Sixi, they felt like they had lost their backbone.

"What should we do! Is Sister Xi in some kind of danger?!"

Yu Chaodi and Shen Tu Rong both recalled their experience in the spice garden, where Shen Sixi had suddenly disappeared, just like now.

Yu Chaodi: "Let's not panic, let's wait and see here."

Yu Chaodi forced a smile and comforted Shen Tu Rong: "We're fine now, aren't we? If we're fine, then my sister will be fine too."

She was comforting Shen Tu Rong, and also comforting herself.

“Yes, Sister Xi is so amazing, she’ll definitely be alright!” Shen Tu Rong held Yu Chao Di’s hand tightly, as if she could draw strength from it.

Yu Chaodi was being held tightly by Shen Tu Rong, yet she didn't feel any pain, her heart filled with worry for Shen Sixi.

One minute passed, two minutes passed, and three minutes passed.

—These were probably the longest three minutes of their lives.

In the fourth minute, Shen Tu Rong saw Shen Sixi.

"Sister Xi!" She flashed a big smile, immediately let go of Yu Chaodi's hand, and strode towards Shen Sixi, giving her a hug without saying a word.

Shen Sixi did not hug Shen Tu Rong back, because both of her hands were occupied.

Shen Sixi held Shen Tu Rong's lost bag in her left hand and grabbed a girl in black by the back of her collar with her right hand.

Shen Tu Rong was too excited to pay attention to anything else, and while holding Shen Sixi, he spoke incoherently.

"Waaaaah, Sister Xi, where did you go? I was so worried! Your sudden disappearance scared me to death. I was afraid something might have happened to you like that day. Oh, and my bag is gone too! All my change, phone, and ID were in there! Why am I so unlucky? Waaaaah!"

Shen Sixi: "It's alright, I got your bag back."

Shen Tu Rong, who was complaining, said: "Huh???"

Xiao Qi and Yu Chaodi, who arrived later, were also stunned when they saw Shen Sixi carrying a person in one hand and a bag in the other.

"Did you get my bag back?"

Shen Tu Rong suddenly sat up straight, in disbelief.

From the moment I discovered my bag was missing until now, it's only been about ten minutes.

Shen Sixi tossed the bag back to Shen Tu Rong: "Check if anything is missing."

"What if something is missing..."

Shen Sixi glanced at the girl in black, her eyes cold and threatening.

The girl in black shuddered and quickly said, "It's none of my business if anything is missing. I didn't even have time to open it before you snatched it back. I didn't even have time to touch anything!"

Shen Sixi: "You'd better be."

Shen Tu Rong lowered her head and rummaged through her bag, checking each item one by one, before letting out a sigh of relief.

"Nothing was lost."

I don't know if I lost any change, but luckily I still have my ID.

Even though nothing was stolen, it doesn't mean Shen Tu Rong would readily forgive the thief.

Shen Tu Rong stared coldly at the girl in black and snorted, "You're finished now that you've tried to steal from me."
