The person was about to start a scene, but another quickly stopped him by saying, “Shh! Why are you yelling? They may be rich, but they’re human too! It’s obvious that they’re wearing masks so they can go on a romantic stroll like any other ordinary couple, so we shouldn’t expose them like this!”
“Yeah, you’re right… Still, we could tail them and see how rich couples spend their evening together, right?”
Soon, Ashton and I noticed a group of people creeping behind us and snapping pictures silently on their phones.
“I thought you said they wouldn’t recognize us?”
“My mistake. Just ignore them.”
How could I possibly ignore them when they’re practically taking up half the road?
The next thing I knew, Ashton made a blatant public display of affection by holding my hand in front of them.
I was burning bright red as I felt uncomfortable having that many people staring at us during intimate moments. Besides, it would ruin our relaxing stroll at the night market if we had a huge group of people following us around the whole time.
As we walked past the Hanfu flagship store, I had a great idea of how we could shake our “tail” and dragged Ashton inside.
As we made our way to the VIP area upstairs, the group of people barged into the store after us, much to the surprise of the sales staff. “I’m afraid we can only serve a limited number of customers at a time. Please queue up in an orderly manner while you shop.”
Delighted by my own genius idea, I smiled gleefully as I continued running up the stairs.
We had just made it to the VIP area when the sales staff got into an argument with the customers downstairs.
