Chapter 426: A horrifying incident in the mall
Nana’s face flushed a little. She quickly shifted the stroller and moved.
“Don’t get so c-cocky. Who doesn’t want you to go? Leave abroad if you wish to!”
Jinhai chuckled, but he hid his laughter. “Have some mercy, my dear wife. I am no more the CEO. Your husband is poor now. Just any other normal man.”
Nana squinted her gaze. “You are supposed to be sad about it, but you seem unaffected.”
Jinhai feigned to be distressed. “Of course, I am. I am not an influential and powerful CEO anymore. What if you find someone else?”
Nana said, “You are right. I should find someone else.”
Jinhai’s face darkened. “I was just joking!”
“But I am not. Actually, you gave me an amazing idea. I should find another man for myself and the twins, definitely a CEO too.”
The twins laughed and giggled from the stroller, apparently enjoying the banter.
Jinhai’s expression turned even more ugly, and he pulled Nana in his arms. He directed a threatening gaze at her, but Nana didn’t back down.
“What? I am not scared of you.”
He sneered. “You should. I should really lock your legs with chains and keep you shut off in the room. Dare find another man, huh?” He raised her chin and pinched it in between his thumb and index finger.
Nana smiled. “Don’t worry. You can find a hot blond-haired foreigner too when you will be abroad. Why will you remember me since you would be surrounded by such beauties wherever you look?”
Jinhai’s dangerous aura calmed down and leaned in and pecked her nose. A mischievous glint flashed in his eyes. “How can I look at them when I think about making love to you the whole time, my little wife? You completely fill my heart and mind.”
Nana widened her eyes.
“So s-shameless!” she pushed him away.
Jinhai grinned.
“But on a serious note, Nana…” His voice dropped, and Nana immediately paid attention in concern.
“When can we…” He smiled and left it unsaid.
Nana glared at him and gritted her teeth. “Don’t take a mile for an inch, Liu Jinhai! Don’t forget that we are living separately. Keep your distance!”
“Not for much longer…” he murmured.
“What did you say?” Nana narrowed her eyes.
“Nothing.”
“Anyway, I am going out with Mom for some shopping.” Nana bent and smiled at the twins. “Jian and Nian will come too, right?”
“Baaaaaaa!!”
“Baaabaaa!!” Their eyes sparkled in delight as if they understood.
Jinhai frowned. “The media is still out there, Nana. I don’t want those reporters to hover around you.”
Nana sighed. “It’s alright. We will be out of their sight. For how long can we avoid going outside anyway?”
Jinhai felt a little stifling inside his chest. He felt guilty that Nana was forced to take precautions because of him. Her freedom was restricted because of the news. He was insulted everywhere, but if people got the chance, they wouldn’t leave Nana for some answers.
“Alright…”
—
Nana and Liu Chunhua, along with the twins, reached Super X mall, dodging the reporters somehow.
Liu Chunhua excitedly dragged them to the baby store. “Aish, I have to buy so many things for my grandsons. I don’t know where to start.”
Nana said, “Mom, Jian, and Nian already have too many toys by you and Dad and then by my Mom, Dad, and big brother. They don’t need more.” She helplessly sighed.
Liu Chunhua pouted. “That is still so less. My grandsons’ room should be entirely filled with fluffy stuff and bears. Oh, and clothes too! Let’s see what new has come in the store for baby fashion.”
“Baaaaaaaa!”
“Baaaabaaaa.!”
Jian and Nian agreed and furiously flailed their hands in excitement.
They went from one shop to another, where Liu Chunhua was buying most of the things. At first, Nana thought the twins had enough, but later on, she couldn’t resist buying more stuff, especially the clothes. There were so many varieties in them, and every one of the clothes looked too cute to be ignored.
They finally ended their baby shopping and went into a fashion store for men and women alike.
“I will check out some new clothes for Hai.”
Nana nodded. “I will look for something too if I can find something nice for Jinhai and big brother. Of course for Jing, Yukito and Yukira too.”
They separated for a few minutes to look on their own. Nana looked through the tie section while slowly wheeling the stroller. Her eyes sparkled, seeing a royal blue necktie. It looked elegant and classy, and the design imprinted on it was refined.
“This will look good on Jinhai…” she murmured, but then she snapped out. “Why should I buy it for him who always troubles me? Hmph. I will take this for big brother.”
“Long time no see…Mrs. Liu.”
Nana turned and was surprised to see the man standing in front of her.
“Oh Pei Yuan…yes, long time indeed,” she politely smiled.
Pei Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, looking at her dazzling smile. He smiled. “En. How are you?” then his gaze dimmed a bit. “I saw what happened in the news about Liu Jinhai…I am sorry.”
“No, it’s alright. Why are you sorry? The one who should be sorry is clearly not,” she shook her head.
Pei Yuan narrowed his eyes for a moment. He feigned to act shocked. “What? Is Liu Jinhai still not remorseful?”
She awkwardly smiled. She didn’t know how much it was right to talk to him but well…
“En.”
Pei Yuan shook his head. “I am sorry if you get hurt with my words, but I disagree with his behavior. Almost the whole nation is against him, but he is still so…I didn’t expect this from him.”
Nana said, “I am not hurt. It’s alright. But I have talked to him about it. We had a serious conversation, and it seems that he is thinking seriously about it too.”
He inwardly sneered.
Think about it? A man like Liu Jinhai would never bend to anyone’s will. Your hope is wasted on him, Nana.
Then suddenly, out of nowhere, a hooded man silently came behind them and harshly pushed away Nana and Pei Yuan.
“Ah!” she gasped and tripped.
Pei Yuan almost stumbled too. “Hey!”
Before they could make sense of it, the man quickly grabbed the stroller with Jian and Nian and dashed away, wheeling it with him.
Nana watched him in horror, and a shrill came out of her.
“JIAN! NIAN!!!”
