“No matter what, I’m happy because it’s arranged by my wife.” To be able to be together every day,
watching her smile and having her sleep in his arms every night, for him, it was already very satisfying.
Actually, he knew what his honey wanted to do. He actually had a plan too. He just didn’t say it,
intending to give her a little surprise. However, since the little girl was so proactive, he let her make the
arrangement. It was also a kind of happiness for him to enjoy it.
His honey was a very honest person, the kind who lived life at ease and wouldn’t pursue those fancy
things. But the occasional romantic stuff was an icing for their relationship.
At 4:30, Peng, the driver, was in front of her hotel’s door on time.
After her car accident, Alan had completely confiscated her car key. Even if her hands no longer had
problems with strength, he still refused to let her touch the steering wheel.
She knew it was because he was worried about her safety, fearing that the same thing would happen
for second time. She didn’t try to show off anymore to not increase his burden.
Regardless of his relaxed appearance in front of others every day, she could actually feel his spirit
running at a high speed. He had too many things to consider, and everything needed to be detailed.
The scope he had to control was too wide, and everything needed to be alike. He couldn’t make the
slightest mistake, otherwise it would be a waste of all his previous efforts.
Such days weren’t a day or two, but for many years, which showed how much pressures he had.
So, one day, after he took a bath, she was blowing his wet hair for him. Then suddenly she found a few
white hairs were hidden under his thick black hair. Her heart jerked.
Now, there wasn’t something he wasn’t worried about. Even if she felt that his worry was unnecessary,
she would try not to do it and cooperate with him as much as possible.
Although this looked very unfree, she didn’t feel imprisoned. She just needed to wait for those things to
be completely over, then she could live with her heart’s content again.
Soon, he said.
She didn’t ask for when. She just wished that everything would be safe.
Olive asked Peng to drive her to the supermarket. Humans couldn’t function properly on an empty
stomach. No matter how romantic the date would be, she couldn’t have empty bellies. So, she felt like
there was really nothing new about her arrangement.
It was just that when she walked to the fresh food area, the feeling of being peeped once again
provoked her sensitivity. The feeling was so strong that she could tell the person was standing not far
from her left.
Who was that person?
She pretended not to sense anything, and continued to pick beef seriously. She scanned over the
direction of the target, still nothing.
Was that person’s alertness too high that they were highly good at pretending to be an ordinary citizen,
or was she too paranoid?
This feeling was haunting her entire time at the supermarket. There was obviously something wrong,
but the person hid in the crowd like they were wearing an invisible cloak, making her unable to
distinguish.
But sometimes, once she competed with something, it meant that she wasn’t that easy to give up.
Since that person liked to spy on others so much, they might as well play a game of hide and seek.
Pushing the shopping cart, which full of her groceries, to the cash register, she called the driver for
safety. “Peng, drive the car to the underground parking lot. I have a lot of stuffs.”
“Do you want me to help?” Peng asked.
Olive said, “No, I can take all of them. I can just take the elevator.”
Her voice wasn’t loud, but was clear enough to be heard by several people around her. If that person
was a certain person in the crowd, they had to have noticed her words.
Although small cars had become more and more popular as a means of transportation, they weren’t
affordable for everyone. Most people still relied on buses and subways. If that person intended to
continue to follow her, they would definitely follow her to the underground parking lot, which could
narrow her range.
Olive snorted inwardly. She didn’t believe that she couldn’t catch them. She wanted to see how holy
that acquaintance was.
She had been here many times and was familiar with the entire mall, and the supermarket was only a
part of this mall.
There weren’t many people on the lift to the underground parking lot. She pretended to look behind her.
All the people were no different from ordinary shopping mall customers, and she still couldn’t make out
the suspicious person.
Or, each of them was suspicious, which could be a big headache.
Olive turned her gaze back in disappointment and her mind was running fast, thinking about which one
was most likely the person. She wasn’t Sherlock Holmes. She didn’t have that deep insight.
But sometimes, when you couldn’t find it and thought you were in a dead end, it would give you a
sudden turn.
She kept confining the person who was following her, but forgot that the person might also walk in front
of her, or even wandered in front of her like a passerby.
She paid attention to the woman who was three steps away and wearing big sunglasses. The woman
was hurriedly turning her head away.
The sun in an early summer had already begun to feel warm. If there was such a person at outdoors,
even if a group of people was standing in front of her, she wouldn’t feel surprised. But they were at
indoors, and the lights in the underground parking lot weren’t that bright. It could even be said that it
was a little dark. Sunglasses could prevent the intensity of sunlight attacking the eyes and increase
one’s beauty and mystery. However, if you insisted on wearing it in a place with insufficient lights, didn’t
you think it would hinder your vision?
Although intuition might not be effective, the woman made her look twice.
The woman seemed to sense that Olive was paying attention on her too. When she got off the elevator,
she hurried forward several steps without looking back.
Olive took advantage of this opportunity to cover herself with the cars in the parking lot, quickly and
successfully hiding herself in a favorable position for observing.
Under the dim light, cars were going in and out. No one stayed, only the woman in sunglasses. She
sneaked around the parking lot for several times. In the end, she seemed to look puzzled and muttered
to herself, “Where’s she?”
She was really suspicious.
Olive laughed softly and walked out of her hiding place, “Are you looking for me?”
The woman was startled, “How do you know I’m following you? Am I that obvious?”
“Not really. Otherwise, I won’t let you follow me for several days before catching you. A little advice—
don’t wear sunglasses when you’re going to follow someone. Although sunglasses can cover your
peeping eyes, it’ll reveal you when you’re wearing it indoors.”
“You caught me just because of a pair of sunglasses. So bad.” The woman was a little annoyed
because she didn’t pay attention to details.
Olive looked at her and she didn’t look like a malicious person, but like a headstrong child.
“Tell me. Why were you following me?”
“Because I’m curious!” The woman grinned. Because she didn’t need to hide in the dark anymore, she
was staring at her openly at this moment.
“Curious?” Olive was confused, “What are you curious about?”
“Well, you’ll know later in the future. I’m leaving.” The woman waved her hand and was about to leave.
Her posture was light that she didn’t seem embarrassed to have been caught.
“Wait,” Olive stopped her.
The woman turned, “What?”
Olive put her hand in front of her, “Give me your phone.”
“What do you want to do?”
The woman was putting up her guard, holding on her phone tightly. Olive became surer of her instinct,
“I don’t care if you have malicious intention or not, but the photos in your phone must be deleted.”
She didn’t want to be used by people with ulterior motives.
“What if I don’t give you?” the woman said with a smile.
Olive wasn’t in a hurry too. Calmly and leisurely, she said, “You can try to see if you can get out of this
parking lot.”
“I’m a 9th dan in taekwondo,” the woman said as she got into a stance.
“I don’t care what level you are in or what color your belt is. I’m not going to fight you. Let’s talk again if
you win against those two,” Olive motioned behind her.
When the woman turned her head, she found nobody, but she felt that her palm was empty. Olive had
successfully taken her phone.
“Hey, you’re cheating.”
Olive smiled, “This is called ‘all’s fair in war’.”
The woman snorted, “You’re as cunning as Alan.”
“Who are you to him?” Alan had said that she was an acquaintance. It seemed that it was true.
“Old lover. Do you believe me?” The woman raised her eyebrows and said in a charming manner.
Without her eyes covered by sunglasses, they looked affectionate. There should be many men who
were captured by her eyes.
“No,” Olive simply answered.
“You trust him so much?”
“Trust requires no reason.”
“But I know everything about him in the past five years. I also know that there is a coin-sized crescent-
shaped birthmark on his butt. I don’t know if you notice it?” the woman said and gestured.
Olive’s face shifted slightly under the dim light. She had to admit that these words made her feel
uncomfortable.
The woman smiled triumphantly, “Do you believe me now?”
But Olive quickly pulled herself together and smiled slightly, “If I do, I’ll fall into your trap.”
She firmly believed that people who wanted her and Alan divorce had to have bad intentions and would
use various tricks. As for the birthmark on his intimate body part, she thought it was necessary for her
to listen how the person had explained it, instead of being led.
The woman sighed, “You’re so stubborn. If you don’t believe me, then return my phone.”
“Not so fast. I’ll return it to you after the photo is deleted.”
The woman was anxious somehow and immediately rushed to grab it. Just kidding. If Olive saw the
other photos inside, she would be exposed. She hadn’t had enough fun.
As she tried to grab it, Olive hid it.
Actually, it wasn’t a big deal for her photos to be taken. But the woman’s motive made her feel
suspicious.
During their struggle, the both of them were panting. Suddenly, a string of bright white lights invaded
the cold entrance, blinding their sights.
