Chapter 1037: scared out of her wits.
The girl smiled and nodded. "alright, i'll go buy something for uncle's child!"
The little girl was very obedient and ran into the medium-sized mother and child store to buy the child's toys.
The salesperson inside saw that she was just a little girl and thought that her parents had given her money, so she introduced her to a few toys.
The little girl picked out a bee ring, a little ball that could make a beautiful bell, and a little turtle projector.
The salesperson only charged the little girl 100 yuan and even got back 20 yuan's change.
The little girl smiled as she carried the bag out. "uncle, i'll buy it for you!"
"okay, thank you. take this change as payment!"
"uncle, i can't take it. i was just helping out. there's no need!" the little girl hurriedly shook her head and wanted to give the money back to him. however, zhao lengchen took the bag and turned around to drive off in a hurry.
Zhao lengchen had just left when someone stopped the child. "xiaoling, what are you doing here? why did you leave so much behind? hurry up and go home. don't talk to strangers!"
Xiaoling looked at the woman timidly. "that's not it. just now, an uncle gave me money to help him buy things for his daughter. in the end, uncle gave me the rest of the money."
The woman looked at the 120 dollars in her daughter's hand strangely and her expression changed slightly. "oh my god, i didn't notice you for a moment. why are you still helping others? xiaoling, there are many bad people in this society. if you are alone, you must not pay attention to strangers! if that stranger forcefully takes you away, you must remember to shout!"
The woman pulled her daughter into her arms in a panic. if that man was a human trafficker and snatched her eldest daughter away, how could she live like this?
Xiao ling nodded. "alright, i won't talk to strangers next time."
Zhao lengchen returned to the front of the rental house and put the car behind him before entering the basement.
Before this, he still looked around vigilantly and found nothing suspicious. only then did he open the basement door.
Even though it was qiao chengnan's personality, he was still extremely careful.
When zhao lengchen appeared again, shi cai ning saw that he was holding a big bag in his hand. "a child's toy... if it's clothes, i'd better buy them online!"
Zhao lengchen said and took out the things inside. he held the bee and shook the bell. the cute toy let out a clear ringing sound.
"ya ya!" little xiangyi raised her small hand excitedly and stared at the small bell with her eyes wide open.
"the light here is too dim. let me change the lights for you." zhao lengchen said. the fluorescent lights in the basement were broken and zhao lengchen's personality was lazy. he did not change the lights for shi zening.
"alright, sorry to trouble you."
"why are you so polite? aren't we husband and wife?" zhao lengchen chuckled.
Shi zening's expression was as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly. "chengnan, you're wrong. we're not husband and wife yet."
"what?" zhao leng chen's eyes widened in shock. "cai ning, have you been provoked and forgotten many things?"
Shi cai ning really wanted to get back to him, but she was afraid that she might anger him and make zhao leng chen's personality come out. she might even make a move on the child. she hesitated for a moment, but she still remained silent.
"chengnan, don't change the lights for now. can you chat with me?" shi cai ning said with a smile. while this "qiao chengnan"'s personality was still there, she quickly looked for an opportunity.
"sure, as long as you like it." seeing little xiangyi staring at the ringing bell, zhao leng chen said with a smile.
He took out the starry sky projection toy -- a little turtle that was twice the size of a palm -- and turned on the switch.
