On the road to the market, Ye Qian walked at high speed while constantly looking at his watch.
'I heard yesterday, that Qiqi likes dumplings a lot.'
He was smiling as he walked to the supermarket.
Ye Qian entered the supermarket and was greeted by the lady whom he gave a tip yesterday.
The girl greeted him with a bright smile.
Ye Qian nodded and asked.
"Where can I find the things needed to make dumplings?"
"Sir, you can have the things needed to make dumplings at the Tasty section."
The lady answered as she pointed in the direction.
Ye Qian thanked her and walked in the direction.
As he was walking he saw the toy and bags section and looked around a bit.
'Hmm, Butterfly liked the Panda toy bag is there something like that here?'
Ye Qian thought as he rubbed his chin.
He looked around in the bags section and was disappointed to see that there was no such bag there.
"I think I need to go to that shop to buy the bag."
"Or how about I bring Butterfly and Mengmeng here tomorrow for buying some new clothes since there is no school tomorrow."
"That would be better, hehe, I will buy my butterfly the best clothes."
Ye Qian was grinning from ear to ear as he started walking.
After about 15 minutes he picked up all the things and went to the counter to pay the bill.
"Hello, sir. Did you get what you were looking for?"
The lady asked as she started to sort the things and was busy with billing.
"Yes, the market has clothes and other women's stuff right?"
Ye Qian asked her suddenly as she was picking up the flour bag.
The woman looked at him in a daze for a second.
'Is he trying to ask me in such a manner?'
The woman blushed as her imagination ran wild.
Ye Qian looked at her as her face was turning red.
"Miss, are you alright?"
He waved his hand and asked.
The woman shook her head and asked.
"Shouldn't you wait until I get free to ask me for a date?"
The girl said with her head lowered as she blushed all over.
"En?"
'When did I ask her for a date, is she mad or deaf?'
'Besides, I have Mengmeng why would I ask you?'
"Miss, you seem to have heard something wrong? Ahem"
"I was saying, I want to bring my daughter and wife here tomorrow, so I was asking if there were clothes for women."
"Ah"
The woman was shocked and nearly shouted it out.
'Oh he was asking for his daughter and wife, I am such an idiot, I have embarrassed myself.'
The woman's skin turned a shade red than before.
"Miss, I think you should look for a doctor?"
Ye Qian said as he watched her turning redder.
"Um no, there is no need and yes there is a section for clothes on the floor above, this level is used as a grocery and other markets."
The woman said not willing to lift her head as she continued to place the last packet of sauce in the bag.
"But I suggest you take your family to a nice mall, there you would find more clothes you would like."
"Here the total is 125 Yuan, and if you still want to come tomorrow to buy clothes there might be many people."
Ye Qian took two 100 Yuan notes and handed them to her.
"Yes, thanks for helping."
She quickly handed him the change of 75 but Ye Qian took the 70 and kept the remaining on the table and thanked her again and started walking to the entrance.
The woman looked at his back and took the 5 Yuans and smiled.
'He could have taken advantage of me but he didn't.'
"Ah! I am such an idiot!"
She sighed and turned to her table.
"Yes, you really are an idiot!"
Another voice came from behind as she turned.

Ye Qian was now walking to the meat and fresh vegetable market which was not far from his current location.
As he was walking he suddenly felt something wrong.
He turned to look around.
There was an eerie silence.
'Em, what is wrong here?'
He looked around again, but this time with his acute senses he found seven people who were coming toward him from all the roads, surrounding him.
There were two from the front, two from the right and two from the left road.
While there was only one person who was walking towards him alone.
They all wore big hats and thick jackets.
Ye Qian felt something amiss and looked at them.
They could not be called normal as they had a ferocious aura around them.
Ye Qian breathed lightly and asked as they were about 20 feet away from him.
"So why are you guys following me?"
His voice was calm as ever.
The people coming from the front, right and left road were stunned at his question and exchanged glances.
While the one who was behind Ye Qian smirked.
"Weren't you the one selling the charms at The Ancient Relic Market for 50,000 Yuan each?"
"Yes, so what?"
Ye Qian answered them without another thought.
"Hehe, how about we do a business?"
The man behind asked while rubbing his hands together.
This time Ye Qian was shocked as he looked at the man who was mostly covering his face with the hat.
'What he wants to buy my charms did he somehow understand something about them.'
Ye Qian thought as he straightened his back.
"Sure, which charm do you want?"
Ye Qian said as he pulled his bag.
"Well, the business is that you give us the money and we let you go away, safe and sound."
The man continued as he grinned while stepping closer to Ye Qian.
Ye Qian looked at him again and then as if suddenly enlightened and sighed.
"People really don't like to earn in proper ways."
As he said he closed the bag and started walking.
"En?"
Ye Qian had walked about ten steps when the people snapped back.
"You think you can run away?"
The man who was behind Ye Qian who seemed to be the leader shouted.
Ye Qian turned to him and shook his head.
"You really want to do this, I want to take Butterfly back home, Mengmeng would be back soon. And I still have to buy some meat to make the dumplings."
Ye Qian sighed as he looked at his watch.
"Can't you guys just let me leave? Please."
"If you want to leave then hand over all the money or you won't be walking."
A person coming from the right side spat.
'What a fool does he think he can walk around after meeting us. Hehe.'
The others thought as they sneered at Ye Qian.
"You shouldn't do this to me."
"I need to make the filling for dumplings and it takes a lot of time for it."
Ye Qian looked dejected.
The people had their mouths agape as they heard him.
The leader's lips twitched as he looked at Ye Qian.
"You want to make dumplings, sure you can go, but hand the money to us man, do you think you can handle all of us?"
All looked at him as if they were looking at a new type of creature.
'Doesn't he understand that we are threatening him?'
Ye Qian glanced at them and asked again.
"If you guys want; I can give you some money but let me go now."
With that Ye Qian fished out 1000 Yuan and waved at them.
The leader's face was red now as his body shivered.
'Do you think we are beggars?'
"Boys, take him out, he has a lot of money, and make sure to break one of his legs. Never have we been so much disgraced."
The other six nodded at him and started walking to Ye Qian in large strides so as to not let him run.
"Sigh"
Ye Qian sighed.
"I wanted you to cause less trouble for me, but you don't seem to appreciate kindness."
Ye Qian shook his head again.
"It's going to be late."
Ye Qian glanced at his watch and turned to the one coming from his right side and slapped him in the face.
The man felt like he was hit with a bat on the head and was sent flying to the other who was just a hand behind him.
The other stumbled and fell to the ground after receiving the person flying towards him.
He tried to catch him but was hit hard due to the force and fell to the ground unable to keep balance.
The leader looked at Ye Qian and shouted.
"Surround him from all sides and hit him hard."
The remaining four people surrounded Ye Qian from all sides and ran at him.
Ye Qian walked to the person who was lying on the ground and caught his legs while lifting him.
Ye Qian swung him around and hit the other four coming at him.
The two were hit hard on their stomachs and were curled on the ground while the other two were pushed to the walls behind them and hit their backs really hard and fell unconscious.
Seeing all his men were fallen, the leader looked at them and was frightened, he brought his hand to his belt and tried to fish something out.
A second later he took a military knife and swayed it at Ye Qian.
"You think you can harm me; I have a knife here!"
Ye Qian looked at him in shock with his eyebrows raised.
"You know, I am in a hurry and I can allow you to leave. If you want."
