Chapter 789: Chapter 785
Although he always treated her as if she were a child who knew nothing.
Lu Xiao pulled her wrist over and tied the helium balloon string to it, his expression serious as he said, “With this, I can worry a little less.”
Even though he always made her walk in front of him, holding her hand, he still feared she would get distracted and slip away from his side.
Wen Xian’s lips curled into a soft smile, and suddenly, she tiptoed in the crowd to plant a kiss on the corner of his mouth.
Lu Xiao’s whole body tensed at that moment, he glanced around, then, holding her hand tightly, he quickly left without looking back, his ears slightly reddening.
“So many people, and you don’t think to be a bit more discreet.”
Wen Xian retorted proudly, “What’s wrong with kissing my own husband?”
She wanted to kiss wherever she liked, however she liked.
Thinking of this, Wen Xian couldn’t help but recall the time they stayed at a guesthouse together. After taking baths, with her lying exhausted on the bed and languid because of her pregnancy, Lu Xiao couldn’t really do anything to her except kiss her.
Even if it was her foot.
Yes, sometimes when she would nudge him with her foot, he would grasp it and press a kiss to her toes.
She couldn’t help but laugh and tease him, “It’s good that Captain Lu fell into my hands already, otherwise your future girlfriends would find out you’ve kissed my foot, and they would certainly despise you.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao carefully avoided her abdomen as he pressed down, his palm supporting the pillow beside her head, and said in a calm and unhurried tone:

And while she continued to walk down the workshop alley with Lu Xiao, on the other side—
Cheng Dongyuan was looking at an exquisite local religious artifact, fiddling with it as others beside him were also examining these items, including a tall, skinny man with glasses, who had a scholarly air about him.
Just as he was about to ask the shopkeeper for the price and was reaching for his wallet to make the purchase, suddenly, a strong force from the crowd hit the tall, skinny man, who in their close proximity, bumped into Cheng Dongyuan, setting off a domino effect as he too collided with someone else.
This immediately caused a muted groan from the others, and he quickly apologized.
However, when he turned back to take out his wallet, he found… it was gone!
Everything had vanished, including…
Cheng Dongyuan quickly searched himself and realized that his phone had also disappeared…!
His face changed with alarm, as he saw someone from the departing crowd moving quickly away, occasionally looking back. He hurriedly gave chase, not forgetting to shout:
“Stop the thief! There’s a thief, stop right there—!”
His sudden shout made everyone passing by turn and immediately protect their own wallets, before looking to see what was going on.
While Cheng Dongyuan rapidly pursued the suspect, the latter was quickly cornered by the crowd, unable to escape.
Yet the person faced the situation undisturbed, stopping and speaking in an irritated tone, “Who’s the thief? I’m certainly not a thief!”
Cheng Dongyuan swiftly caught up and with a swift move—
