Chapter 116: Whose Constitution Is the Problem?

"Perfect timing, there are still many people who haven't met my fiancé, Xiao Yu and Huo Huo. Taking advantage of this gathering, we can introduce everyone all at once."

Xu Jun twisted the bag in her hand, opened her mouth as if to say something, but said nothing.

Lu Zhongda stayed silent the whole time, like a mute.

There were two little kids in the group; the adults made do with them, and Su Yu and Liang Yan led the way throughout.

Su Yu and Liang Yan had a great time. They chose toys they liked; Su Yu dragged Ye Shu to pay, while Liang Yan dragged Xie Xin Yi to look at the toys they had chosen, and even asked Xie Xin Yi if she wanted one, offering to share a piece with her.

While strolling, Su Yu and Liang Yan led the group to a shop draped with pink curtains.

Su Yu and Liang Yan slipped inside, and Xie Xin Yi, who was following them, hurried in as well.

"Wow!"

Xie Xin Yi looked at the room filled with pink and blue interlaced starbursts and a pink rose heart in the center, feeling delighted.

Ye Shu walked straight to the middle of the pink roses, picked up the heart‑shaped box, and took out a ring set with a peach‑red sparkling stone, saying, "Darling, this is the color of our first meeting!"

The newly arrived Xu Jun and Lu Zhongda stared with dark faces as Ye Shu, half‑kneeling, placed the ring on the beaming Xie Xin Yi.

Xu Jun, looking somewhat troubled, said, "Xin Yi, isn't this proposal ceremony a bit too simple? It doesn't really suit your status!"

Ye Shu corrected, "This isn't a proposal ceremony, just a little everyday surprise!"

Xie Xin Yi nodded, "Mm!"

She looked at the diamond ring in her hand, satisfied, and said, "Next time, your clothes will have to be chosen by me!"

"As you command, my dear wife!"

Xie Xin Yi saw Ye Shu acting silly, laughed, and took his hand that was offering a salute!

In front were Su Yu and Liang Yan, hand in hand; in the middle were Ye Shu and Xie Xin Yi, also hand in hand; behind them were Su Xi and Qin Tao, like door gods; Xu Jun and Lu Zhongda could not get close to Xie Xin Yi at all.

Lu Zhongda slipped both hands into his pockets and pressed the signal device inside.

Just as they were about to leave the first floor, a "Bang!" rang out!

The sound of glass shattering made everyone present jump!

Her first reaction was to scoop Su Yu and Liang Yan into her embrace. She hadn't forgotten Su Yu's reaction last time, so she quickly squatted, pressed Su Yu against her chest, and covered her ears with both hands. Ye Shu, following her example, held Liang Yan in his arms.

Su Yu gently pushed away Xie Xin Yi, glanced back, and shouted loudly, "There's a robbery!"

Hearing Su Yu, the people who had been looking at jewelry on the other side all looked up, "Where? Where's the robbery?"

The people on the second floor, hearing the commotion, also shouted, pulling out their phones to peek.

The thug boss, who had accidentally slipped and smashed the counter glass with his spiked club, in the puzzled gaze of his henchmen behind him, slammed again, "Hand over all your money!"

The thug boss shouted at the top of his lungs. At that moment the mall had already stopped all music, and everyone heard his words.

"Snap!"

"Click!"

Camera flashes rang out one after another. The thug boss who had smashed the glass in the middle looked like a celebrity at an event; the audience ignored his words, focusing on taking photos and recording videos.

"Did you hear what I said?"

The thug boss wasn't from around here! He knows the locals are bold— even pandas that escape from captivity dare to come watch. But now he's a robber; aren't they equally unafraid? He's still armed!

The thug boss waved his club, carving a path for himself and his henchmen! Yet the flashes still lit the way.

The thug boss hurried to the exit, preparing to leave while figuring out how to fulfill his employer's request, when he heard someone shout at them.

"You robber over there, why didn't you smash another store? Do you look down on them? Or did you take money and target this gold shop?"

The thug boss wore a bewildered expression, wondering what the person was talking about.

He didn't understand, rushed outward, and then ran straight into a net!

"Who, who dares to move me!"

Seeing the police outside using a huge net to encircle him and his henchmen, the thug boss panicked!

"What are you doing?!"

"Who called the police?"

The thug boss scanned the crowd with his gaze, nearly dazzling his own eyes.

"Can you stop using flashlights? What's there to photograph? I'm going to sue you for violating my portrait rights!"

The thug boss was fuming, while the surrounding henchmen stayed silent. After all, they were just following the boss and hadn't smashed any glass. If something went wrong, the boss could use the deposit he had received as compensation, which didn't involve them. They weren't scared at all; they even wondered whether, while waiting for the boss to come out, everyone should pool money to buy some fruit to share. Just waiting was too boring!

"Wow, that was fast!"

The last troublemaker took so long to catch last time; this time they nabbed this thug quickly.

Su Xi, hearing Su Yu's sigh, said gently, "Because of what happened last time, we've been tightening security drills lately. If we're not in place within five minutes, we'll be fined!"

【Those thugs are doomed!】

Su Yu showed a schadenfreude smile. In special times, punishments are always severe!

Watching the officials escort those thugs away, the mall's music resumed, and a barrier was set up near the shattered counter to block customers from that area.

"Let's stop shopping and go to the hotel to wait for them!"

Xie Xin Yi suggested, and everyone present agreed.

As soon as they got into the car heading to the hotel, Xie Xin Yi, looking serious, said, "Why does every time we take Xiao Yu out to play, we run into this kind of incident?"

The last incident was unlucky, and this time it almost endangered personal safety. If they hadn't moved a bit faster, the flying shards could have injured them.

Ye Shu shook his head, "Su Xi, Su Yu can't have some special constitution, can she?"

Just like him, she constantly draws Bad Peach Blossom; it's a rare chance to have a normal one like Xie Xin Yi.

"She usually has no problem going out, and there's no issue when we take her shopping."

Ye Shu nodded, neither confirming nor denying.

Xie Xin Yi glanced at Ye Shu, thinking, it probably isn't Ye Shu's or her own problem, right?

The group arrived at the hotel arranged with their close‑friend circle, only to find that no one had shown up.

"Where are they?"

Xie Xin Yi looked at the empty hotel room, made a call, and said, "Weren't we supposed to have a dinner gathering? Why haven't you come yet?"

The person who got Xie Xin Yi's call was bewildered, "Wasn't it scheduled for tomorrow? Xu Jun told us the time was changed!"

"When was that said?"

"You sent the message not long after. Xu Jun said the hotel couldn't be booked, and you had her call each of us to postpone the gathering to tomorrow!"

Xie Xin Yi tightened her grip on the phone. She called several people, and each reply was similar.

Xu Jun told them the time was changed!

"Where's that aunt?"

【Didn't they follow?】

Radiant smile: a face full of laughter.

In the text, "peach pink" refers to a light pink; peach blossom petals are pink~
