Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 267

There was a sea of people here. Fortunately, the entrance wasn’t also the exit door. Otherwise, the door would have been blocked.

The driver kept up with her pace in fear that something would happen to her.

He was a driver cum bodyguard. Making sure of Lin Xinyan’s safety was his job. Or else he wouldn’t know how to explain if he went back without her.

There were three floors and each of it was very spacious. They could find everything and anything in here.

Her eyes were automatically attracted to a toy store. Maybe because of the fact that she was a mother of two. She felt the need to go to the store and see if there were any toys that her children would like.

Lin Xichen liked brainy toys. He wouldn’t bat an eye on stuffed toys. On the contrary, Lin Ruixi liked fluffy toys the most.

A polygonal Rubik’s Cube caught her attention. She picked it up and studied the toy. Each of the side had approximately fifty module of blocks. They were as small as a tiny fingernail and there were a total of six sides.

This looks difficult. She thought as she turned the cube around.

“A lot of people can’t solve that. If you’re buying for your child, I suggest you to buy this.” The owner of the store approached her and pointed to a shelf. There were different types of Rubik’s Cubes on it. Some were triangle and some were the normal square ones. “These are suitable for children between five to ten. How old is your child?”

“Five,” she replied but she still liked the one she was holding. Those are too easy for Xichen.

“I suggest you this one.” The shop owner picked up a triangular one which was more novel than the square one. There were only a few sides and it seemed relatively simple which was very suitable for a five-year-old.

Lin Xinyan smiled as she took out her purse, “I still want this one. Please pack it up for me.”

The owner could only beam out a smile. It didn’t matter if she didn’t listen to his suggestion as long as he made sales.

“I’ll get a new one for you.” He went inside and fished out an unopened package of the same toy for her, mumbling softly, “What a weirdo. Does she think her child is a genius or something?”

The toys were originally put inside boxes. People would only look at them and not buy them. There was no way they were going to be sold out if this continued. So he decided to take them out for the customers to try playing them. He managed to attract a lot of people after that but there were still no buyers.

However, he sold one today and he was very happy with it. The cube was difficult and quite pricey so he didn’t expect that it would be bought.

He went back to the woman with a smile while putting the toy into a bag and handed it to Lin Xinyan. “Your kid must be very smart.”

She returned the smile wordlessly. For her, her son was the smartest child in the world. She was no different from the other mothers who thought that their children were the best. “How much?” she asked.

“Three hundred and sixty.”

Lin Xinyan gave him four hundred and he refunded her fifty, saying, “I’ll spare a ten for you. This cube’s opening price is three hundred fifty. The poor toy has been here for two years and someone finally bought it. I’m not at a loss.”

She took the money and walked out of the store as the driver approached her. “Let me carry it.”

“No need,” she answered while waving her hand.

The driver had been guarding her going between the various shops. It was so crowded that they were unaware of a man wearing a blue parka, a baseball cap and a black mask stalking behind them.

This floor was full of toys and accessories. She couldn’t find her materials here so she decided to go to the second floor. When they were in the elevator, Lin Xinyan felt eyes on her. She turned her head around but didn’t see anyone looking at her.

“What’s wrong?” the driver asked.

She shook her head but glanced back again. Indeed, no one was looking at her.

She turned to the front suspiciously. The elevator reached the second floor in no time. She found that the materials that she needed were here and immediately quickened her footsteps. The suspicion of someone watching her was quickly pushed to the back of her mind.

She rounded the floor for a good few minutes before finally coming across the type of lace that she wanted. The texture of the yarn was soft, delicate and thin. Exactly what she was looking for.

“This is kind of expensive.” The shop owner voiced out as he saw the fascination on Lin Xinyan’s face.

As a fashion designer, she had a broad knowledge about fabrics and the price that it should come with. “Is this sold by feet?”

“Yes, one thousand eight hundred and eighty per foot.”
