Chapter 1071 The Other Shore Flower Heather (95)

Yi Yang glanced over and chuckled, "Those guys are really overestimating themselves, don’t even know who they’ve messed with."

"She’s just messing around." Nian Shen glanced casually without much concern and said.

If she were serious, those three wouldn’t even know how they died.

Heather finished her food, and then greeted the boss and his wife, apologizing for the scare they’d received.

Both quickly waved their hands and shook their heads, "It’s nothing, it’s nothing! They deserved it, asking for trouble! If it weren’t you but some other girl, something bad might’ve already happened. They needed to be taught a lesson."

They were business owners after all, and if those punks really got physical, even they weren’t sure if they’d step in to help.

Since it didn’t turn into a real incident, nobody could know what the outcome would’ve been.

After saying goodbye to them, Heather turned to leave, but then noticed a car parked across the street.

The car stood out, and with a closer look, she realized it belonged to Nian Shen, and she could vaguely see someone sitting inside.

She felt puzzled for a moment.

Puzzled...

Wasn’t he supposed to still be at the restaurant having dinner with Qu Leqi? What was he doing here?

She was about to pretend she hadn’t seen him and planned to walk away, but accidentally locked eyes with him.

Now she couldn’t play dumb anymore, so she gave him a slight nod.

At that moment, the car door opened, and Nian Shen stepped out, crossed the street once traffic had cleared, and walked towards her.

"You said you weren’t hungry, yet here you are eating at a street food stall by yourself? Turns out you didn’t eat because it wasn’t to your liking."

"..."

That’s not it.

She just felt a bit restrained sitting there—she wasn’t the protagonist after all. Being a third wheel wasn’t exactly a pleasant experience.

Nian Shen suddenly sat down and told the stall owner, "Can I get a bowl of noodles?"

Heather was surprised, "You’re going to eat here?"

"I didn’t eat enough."

She sat down beside him and asked, "What about Miss Qu?"

"She suddenly had a stomachache, so I asked someone to take her to the hospital. Probably something wrong with her digestive system."

They always say street food isn’t clean, yet she ate and didn’t end up in the hospital. On the other hand, that grand Miss Qu ate a few bites in a proper restaurant and ended up needing a hospital visit. Maybe the restaurant should be asked for compensation instead?

"Are you okay?" Heather asked him, "You both ate the same food, right?"

"Look at me sitting here; you can tell I’m fine."

Since Heather had already finished eating, she glanced around and said, "I... Can I leave now? I’ve already finished eating."

"It’s pretty dangerous around here, why don’t you stay and protect me."

"..." She looked awkward and speechless, "You’re a grown man... What danger could there be? If you were a girl, I might consider staying with you—after all, there are indeed a lot of creeps around."

She’d just chased three of them away earlier.

"Who said creeps have to be men? Too many women rushing at you can be scary too."

"..."

Uh...

Heather froze.

With his looks... Somehow, it didn’t seem impossible.

She suddenly recalled that there have indeed been cases where aggressive women forcibly grabbed someone off the street at night.

But...

Heather thought to herself, with Nian Shen’s size, and Yi Yang as backup—two well-built men—it seemed unlikely that a group of women could haul them away.

If that happened, she wouldn’t even have time to feel sorry for them; she’d probably die laughing first.

"Why are you laughing?" He looked up and noticed the faint smile on her lips.

"It’s nothing..." She quickly erased her expression.

"You’re laughing because you think it’s impossible? Even if the chances are low, this place is so chaotic; what if I get robbed?"
