Chapter 349: Chapter 362: You’ve wrapped yourself up like this, yet they can still recognize you.
Finally, Manman insisted that everyone should celebrate together in the evening, to mark the blessing after the misfortune she and Han Xi experienced.
Considering their scruffy appearance, they didn’t feel like going to any restaurant, so they decided to have a great meal at Han Xi’s home instead.
Manman mentioned she needed to go home to change clothes and shake off the bad luck, and Han Xi had blood stains on her clothes, so they had to ask Chu Ci and Fu Bin to buy dinner ingredients from the supermarket.
Initially, Chu Ci said she could go alone, but Han Xi was worried about her carrying so much stuff, so she insisted Fu Bin accompany her.
Chu Ci got into Fu Bin’s car, bent over to fasten her seatbelt: "Let’s go."
Fu Bin lazily glanced at Chu Ci, said nothing, and drove straight onto the main road.
Neither spoke throughout the journey, yet the atmosphere was far from awkward.
Chu Ci quietly leaned against the passenger seat, listening to the songs on the radio, her fingers on her lap unconsciously tapping to the rhythm.
The car quickly stopped at the mall entrance, and Chu Ci put on her hat and mask before getting out.
They entered the mall together, Fu Bin picked up a shopping cart and turned to ask, "What should we buy first?"
"Let’s buy seafood first." Chu Ci pointed towards the seafood section not far away.
There were quite a few people there; as soon as Chu Ci walked over, she got jostled and instinctively protected her stomach.
"You bumped into someone, and you’re still pushing?"
Fu Bin frowned at the two ladies nearby, his voice laced with displeasure.
"Sorry about bumping into your wife." The two ladies said apologetically.
"Next time, be more careful."
After speaking, Fu Bin looked up at Chu Ci: "Are you alright?"
"I’m fine."
Chu Ci smiled warmly, neither of them cared about the title the lady just used, neither explained nor took it to heart.
While they were about to pay after buying things in the supermarket, a young girl recognized Chu Ci and screamed excitedly: "You’re Chu Ci! I’m so happy to meet you here, could we take a picture together?"
Chu Ci made a gesture to hush, but it was too late; the people around heard the young girl and gathered around.
"Chu Ci, can we take a picture with you? We really like you."
Many people took photos and recorded videos of Chu Ci.
Chu Ci took off her mask, then nodded with a gentle smile: "Let’s take a group photo, I have to rush off to do something."
"Alright."
The young girl handed her phone to Chu Ci: "Use mine to take the photo."
Chu Ci took the phone, stood in front of everyone, and made a heart gesture with her hands: "One, two, three, snap."
Fu Bin quietly stood by the side, only pushing the cart to the silver platform to checkout after Chu Ci was done with the photos.
"Your fans are sharp-eyed, even with you wrapped up like this, they can still recognize you."
Fu Bin accepted the bank card handed over by the clerk and put it in his wallet.
Chu Ci casually gave a smile to Fu Bin: "Let’s hurry, otherwise we won’t have time to prepare dinner."
They walked out of the mall together, and Chu Ci tightened her coat as she walked towards the car.
Fu Bin put the two bags of items in the trunk and got into the car as well, bent over to buckle his seatbelt, and turned the steering wheel onto the main road.
After Han Xi returned home, she took a hot shower in the bathroom and still felt uneasy about what had just happened.
Lu Jinghan, who was on the balcony taking a phone call, saw Han Xi come out of the bathroom, said a few simple words to the person on the phone, and hung up.
