Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 153 Loving her means habitually treating her like a child.

The mall manager across the street was also sweating profusely. The person opposite him was Madam Lu, the future matriarch of the Lu family. "I'm sorry, Madam, it was our negligence. How about this, we'll compensate you with a shopping card worth millions?"

Millions of dollars? Shopping cards?

Whose face are we slapping?

Cen Xi scoffed coldly, "Millions? Has our Lu family fallen to this level?"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere around them plummeted to a freezing point.

Lu Zhiruo looked at the mall manager with a smile.

She's no pushover either.

She strode up to the man who had attacked her, looking down at him with disdain. "Are you a stalker or a hater?"

The pain in the man's knee made him break out in a cold sweat, and his voice trembled slightly, "...none of them."

"No? If you're not, why are you throwing yourself at me like that?" Lu Zhiruo looked at him coldly, her eyes like frost.

The man's lips trembled, but he couldn't say anything.

The man's acting was so bad that Lu Zhiruo could tell at a glance.

She seemed to have seen this man in a photo that Jiang Zhimin had given her; that information was obtained by Jiang Zhimin after infiltrating a group of trolls for three months.

"You're Zhao Jiwei, right?" Lu Zhiruo said with certainty.

A flicker of panic crossed the man's eyes. Ignoring the pain in his leg, he scrambled to his feet and tried to run toward the escalator.

Nan Xu reacted quickly and grabbed the man's clothes.

Seeing this, Cenxi was furious again. It was one thing to be careless before, but what about now? The person was right in front of them, and they didn't even try to stop them, leaving Nanxu to intervene.

Seeing Cen Xi's face turn cold again, the manager wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with trembling hands.

"What's going on with you guys? It was one thing that you weren't here before, but what about now? Are we supposed to catch the bad guys ourselves now?"

Perhaps Cenxi's voice was too angry and loud, because passersby cast curious glances at them.

To prevent the matter from escalating, the manager gave a signal to the security guard next to him. The guard quickly stepped forward and chased away the passersby who were standing by.

"Madam, let's discuss this somewhere else so as not to disturb the other guests," the manager said, forcing himself to speak.

Cen Xi sighed. She was just a little angry about the matter, but she didn't want to make things difficult for them.

She was so angry that she said a few words, but the security in such a big shopping mall was so bad.

What's even more infuriating is that instead of offering a solution first, they tried to "silence" them.

"Forget it, this is the first time, and I hope it's the last. If there's a next time, your mall should close down," Cen Xi said coldly.

There's no need for them to remain at this stalemate, and she doesn't care about the paltry compensation. There's no need to waste any more time here.

“We can let the matter at the mall go, but not with him.” Lu Zhiruo pointed to Zhao Jiwei, who was being subdued by Nan Xu. “You have to take him to the police station.”

Cen Xi glanced coldly at Zhao Jiwei. "Don't worry about this. I'll talk to Zhang Zheng, and you won't see him in Beijing anymore."

Lu Zhiyan checked the time; it was already past five o'clock. They should be almost done shopping by now, right? He was going to have dinner with Nan Xu that evening.

After hesitating for a moment, he called Nan Xu.

"Are you done shopping? Can I take you to dinner?" Lu Zhiyan asked with a smile.

"Yes, that's about it. We're just about to leave."

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the same place."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhiruo's voice suddenly rang in her ears, "Is it Zhiyan? He came to pick you up?" "Yes, he's waiting for me downstairs," Nan Xu nodded in response.

"Oh, our Zhiyan is so thoughtful," Lu Zhiruo's slightly sour voice came over.

It's no wonder she was jealous; she and Lu Zhiyan practically grew up together. If she wanted to trouble him or ask for his help, it was only if the exchange met his expectations.

Otherwise, there wouldn't even be a chance to talk.

But he won't kill you outright; instead, he'll ask someone close to you to help you.

It was like slapping someone and then giving them a sweet treat.

Seeing Lu Zhiyan circling behind Nan Xu now is truly astonishing.

As they talked, they reached the car. As soon as Lu Zhiyan saw Nan Xu, he immediately got out of the car.

Approaching, he snatched the shopping bag from Nanxu's hand and muttered to her, "Why did you only buy so little? Didn't you find anything you liked?"

"Yes, we just sent some to the house a few days ago, so I only picked out one new outfit today."

The two chatted hand in hand, oblivious to everyone else around them.

Lu Zhiyue rolled her eyes. The man in front of her was completely different from the man in her memory.

She clapped her hands in dissatisfaction. "Hey, hey, we're still here, and there are so many pedestrians on the road. Can't you consider us too?"

Nan Xu's ears turned slightly red as she gently squeezed Lu Zhiyan's slender fingers.

"Looks like your purchasing power isn't too great today." He glanced at the shopping bags in the hands of the other three women, each of them carrying only two or three bags.

"That's because you're looking at things too one-sidedly. If you can't take it, you just have it delivered to your home," Lu Zhiruo replied casually, playing with a strand of hair between her fingers.

Lu Zhiyan had an air of "I knew it."

"By the way, has Uncle Wang arrived? Do you need me to take you back?" Lu Zhiyan asked.

"We've come, but we're leaving now," Cen Xi sighed softly.

If it weren't for that unpleasant incident, she might have shopped a little longer today.

"Alright, it's getting late, let's head back now."

After they said goodbye, Lu Zhiyan walked to the car and opened the passenger door for Nan Xu.

When Lu Zhiyan got into the car and fastened his seatbelt, Nanxu told him what had happened that afternoon.

"We ran into Zhiruo's crazy fan while shopping today..." Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't really count as a fan, since no fan would be so crazy as to pounce on their favorite celebrity.

Sensing the pause in Nan Xu's tone, Lu Zhiyan's probing gaze fell upon her.

"And then, what happened?"

"He almost knocked Zhiruo down. If I hadn't reacted quickly and pulled her back, she would have been knocked down by him..."

"What did you say?" Lu Zhiyan's tone suddenly changed.

"Why didn't you call me when something like this happened? I was waiting for you downstairs."

Nan Xu was somewhat surprised to see Lu Zhiyan's tone suddenly change.

Nothing unexpected happened, did it? She didn't want to trouble Lu Zhiyan with everything. He also had his own work to do and couldn't pay attention to her all the time.

Besides, she's not a child anymore; she doesn't need help with everything.

“Ah Sheng, we’re not children anymore, you don’t need to be so nervous.” Nan Xu gave Lu Zhiyan a reassuring look.
