Chapter 1212: Chapter 1201: Honey, My Wallet Was Stolen
Due to it being autumn, the weather is gradually turning colder, and it’s time to wear coats.
Xu Ruolan picked out a well-fitting red coat and a pleated skirt, looking both gentle and elegant, yet dignified and graceful. Her bright big eyes, under such circumstances, appeared even more lively.
“Hmm, alright, this outfit will do.”
Ning Fan watched her spinning around in front of him, seeking his opinion. Ning Fan also felt that this outfit was most suitable for meeting the parents out of all the clothes.
“No need to take it off, just wear it and go.”
“Sounds good.”
Xu Ruolan rarely disagreed, and she had the staff help cut off the tags and paid for the clothes.
Such a golden boy and a jade girl, talented man and beautiful woman walking together on the street, had a one hundred percent turn-back rate.
Xu Ruolan was originally a workaholic, usually commuting between work and home with little time to shop, and rarely had such leisurely moments.
At this moment, being watched by so many people, filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, her face blushed naturally, making her more charming.
Ning Fan’s skin was as thick as a city wall, shamelessly saying, “Wifey, why are you blushing? Looking good is for others to see. If no one looks at you, then you’re an ugly monster.”
“You’re the ugly monster.”
Xu Ruolan pouted playfully and lightly punched Ning Fan’s arm with her small fist.
However, Ning Fan exaggeratedly shouted, “A bit gentler! Murder your husband, huh…”
“Um…”
At this moment, Xu Ruolan’s face turned red, and she stopped her actions. Why?
Because that shout attracted even more attention, passersby stopped to watch the argument between this handsome couple, adding its own flavor.
“Hurry up and go, you’re embarrassing.”
Xu Ruolan rolled her eyes, lowered her head, and pulled Ning Fan forward.
As the sky darkened, it was time for dinner.
Ning Fan and Xu Ruolan walked and looked around and chose a Sichuan restaurant to go inside. They ordered some delicious small dishes, chatted and laughed while eating. After finishing their meal, they went to watch a movie, and by the time everything was done, it was already quite late.
Since both had drunk some alcohol, they left the car in the parking lot and planned to take the last bus ride home.
The two found a spot in the second-to-last row, sitting side by side.
Due to Ning Fan recently being busy dealing with the Ning Family crisis, these new affairs of the Dragon City Branch Company were being handled by Xu Ruolan. After a night of accompanying Ning Fan with chatting, eating, and buying clothes, she constantly nodded while on the bus, showing signs of drowsiness.
Ning Fan sat on the outer seat, while Xu Ruolan sat on the inner seat, with the bag containing the clothes they just bought placed by the aisle.
These clothes weren’t from luxury brands, but they were worth over ten thousand, so Ning Fan occasionally glanced at them.
Maybe it was just a habit, the passenger behind kept shaking his leg, kicking the clothing bag repeatedly, and it was very rhythmic.
Click, click…
Ning Fan felt it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble, so he moved the bag forward.
Who knew that even then, he could still hear the sounds of the bag being kicked.
Ning Fan’s expression turned cold, and he turned his head to look back. Upon seeing, his eyes squinted slightly.
He could clearly feel that the two middle-aged men behind him had obvious hostility in their eyes, so he said calmly, “Bro, are you doing this on purpose? I’ve already put my bag so far forward, and you’re still kicking it. Are you trying to show off your long legs?”
“I didn’t notice it.”
The middle-aged man sitting on the outer seat said without expression, his tone cold.
“Watch it!”
Ning Fan warned again before turning his head back.
The voices disturbed Xu Ruolan’s sleep, she turned to look at the two middle-aged men, finding their fierce look intimidating.
She instinctively moved her small bag in front of her. Upon seeing, her expression shifted.
The zipper of her small bag, previously closed, was now open.
This indicated that someone had meddled with her bag.
She suddenly looked at the seat, about five centimeters away from the metal body of the bus.
Earlier, when she was sleeping, the bag was slung over her body, stuck in that five-centimeter position.
If someone touched her bag, it had to be either the person sitting in front or behind. There was no escape.
Xu Ruolan didn’t reveal anything but quietly leaned towards Ning Fan’s ear and whispered, “Dear, my bag was tampered with, and my wallet is gone.”
“What?”
Ning Fan suddenly startled, looking back and forth.
He saw the two people behind just about to get off the bus.
“You, hold it right there.”
Ning Fan shouted, pulling Xu Ruolan to chase after the two, and they got off together.
Those two didn’t speak and didn’t look back.
The two of them dashed quickly towards a more secluded alley.
Ning Fan became more certain that these two were suspicious, so he started running, pulling Xu Ruolan along.
“Stand still and return the wallet.”
“If you have what it takes, chase us down, and if you catch us, the wallet is yours.”
The two suddenly turned back, with a bit of a cold smile, teasingly said.
Then their movement technique sped up, their feet slipped as they quickly created distance.
Ning Fan suddenly crouched, unexpectedly lifting Xu Ruolan onto his back, explaining, “Wifey, your high heels make you run too slow; leaving you alone is too dangerous. Just think of it as ‘Zhu Bajie carries his wife’.”
“Where is there such a handsome Zhu Bajie?”
Xu Ruolan was amused and annoyed, but at this time, catching the thief was the priority.
They had already developed a physical relationship and appeared closer; she lay on Ning Fan’s shoulder, like a queen, laughing softly, “Xiao Fan, chase them for me.”
“Trash!”
Ning Fan immediately yelled in jest; since the intimate relationship with Xu Ruolan, she became much livelier.
He pushed his movement technique to the limit, chasing after the thief with roaring wind.
Those two thieves were no match for Ning Fan, a master at half-step Aerial Mastery. If they had such skills, they wouldn’t have been thieves.
As they arrived in the alley, the two thieves glanced around, suddenly stopped, and turned to face Ning Fan.
At this moment, Ning Fan was already standing in front of them, which startled them, and they backed up abruptly.
For some unknown reason, they quickly adjusted their emotions and became fearless again.
“Kid, which eye of yours saw me steal the wallet?”
“Ha, ha, sitting behind us were only you two. If the people in front wanted to steal Ruolan’s wallet, I would quickly notice. Only those behind can reach through the gap to pull the zipper of the small bag. If it wasn’t you, then who?”
Ning Fan apprenticed under Divine Doctor, and after mingling with this Jianghu veteran for so long, he knew quite a bit about thieves in Jianghu.
