After they slept together, both of them ate some food. Before his appointment, Kevin received a call
from Mr. Huang's assistant. He said that he was going to meet a very important partner this afternoon,
so he couldn't see Kevin today.
With a stern expression, Kevin asked Mr. Huang's assistant when he would be free. However, his
assistant just said that Mr. Huang would contact Kevin.
Kevin's heart sank. He had no choice but to hang up the phone.
"No wonder Kim came to W City with us. It seems that he's one step ahead of us." Anne's voice turned
cold.
Kevin smiled and looked outside the window. W City had always been prosperous. With free time on
his hands, he thought he could do something else instead of staying in the hotel all the time.
"Anne, is this your first time here at W City? How about I take you out?" Kevin walked towards Anne.
Anne looked at the thriving city outside, and sure enough, she wanted to explore it herself and agreed.
Kevin held Anne's hand as both of them wore masks to prevent attracting any unnecessary attention
towards them.
In the Internet age, there was no boundary between cities. Even though they weren't often there, Kevin
and Anne were still very famous in W City.
They had to disguise themselves so that they wouldn't cause any unwanted gossip.
Anne touched her mask as she looked at the passersby around her. She shook her head in resignation
and stared at Kevin. "Only celebrities go out wearing masks, right?"
Kevin nodded. "Yes. We are quite popular, you know."
Hearing this, Anne lowered her head. Kevin was labelled as a good man of the new generation, a good
boyfriend, a filial son and a domineering president. As for herself, she was a "modern whore", and the
representation of an obscene and dirty woman according to the majority of public's opinion.
It was unfair! It was really unfair!
Anne gritted her teeth and tried to hold back the rage building inside her. She swore to herself that she
would rebrand her image and win back respect from people.
Kevin didn't know what was running on Anne's mind. He looked at the biggest shopping mall in W City
and thought of a brilliant idea. "Anne. I haven't taken you shopping before, right? Let's go shopping
today!"
The Fu Family was overwhelmingly wealthy. They didn't need to go shopping since they had their very
own designers to weave their clothing.
That was why Anne wasn't particularly keen on the idea of shopping. However, Kevin was with her. It
would be special if they spent time shopping together.
"Okay." Anne looked at Kevin and smiled.
Kevin and Anne strolled along the shopping mall, their hands clasped together as they walked side by
side. He took his woman out for shopping and browsed as many items to their hearts' content. Of
course, even though they were both rich, Kevin would pay for everything.
Kevin kept an eye on Anne. As long as she looked happy, he was glad to buy anything for her and ask
the shop assistant to pack it up.
After a while, there were already several waiters carrying many bags in both their hands.
Because of the amount of shopping that they did, it started to attract many people's attention. Anne
sighed and shook her head helplessly. In the corner of her eye, she saw a necklace.
It wasn't luxurious by any standard, but she felt it was classy and elegant in its own way. The gem in
the middle stood out for her.
"Waiter, pack this." Anne heard Kevin say.
Her mouth twitched and felt slightly annoyed. "That's enough today. Let's go."
"As long as you want it, we can buy this entire shopping mall," Kevin whispered to Anne.
Even though she knew Kevin was rich, the idea of him buying her things still felt sweet in her heart.
Kevin was a very domineering person, and because of this, he didn't know how to talk sweetly. What
his heart wanted to say the most, he always said it directly and confidently.
He was so cute!
"That's enough. We already have so many clothes and jewelry at home. I can't possibly wear them all!"
Anne said to Kevin.
In Selma's mind, apart from the tailored unique design for her, there was nothing noteworthy in any
malls.
Selma handled everything for the three children from transportation, food, and even clothes. This was
why all three children had their own unique design styles.
If Selma saw what Kevin and Anne had bought, she would say that they had no taste.
Anne saw that Kevin looked confused so she had to assure him even further. "All of these are enough.
I really don't need more."
Even though Kevin still wanted to give her more, he yielded to Anne. He swiped his card and left an
address for the waiters to deliver everything they had bought to the hotel.
After they were finished shopping, it was already evening. Kevin and Anne decided to eat and enjoy the
night scene together.
Since W City was as prosperous as A City, there should have a spot for them to enjoy.
"Ouch!"
Out of nowhere, an old man in his 70s bumped into Kevin. The old man screamed in pain and fell to the
ground.
Kevin and Anne looked at each other. "Sir, get up quickly. Are you hurt?" Kevin asked as he squatted
down.
"It hurts! I think my bones are broken! You hit me! You can't go!" The old man's face was distorted in
agony. He clutched Kevin's hand and screamed.
The commotion promoted many onlookers to come by. From their perspective, it looked like Kevin
knocked down the old man.
"Does it hurt that bad?" Anne's face darkened as she stood by.
There were many instances on the Internet where old men would deliberately fall and pretend to be
knocked down by other people. They then would blackmail others.
Was this old man a scammer?
"It hurts..." The old man's face grew paler as his breathing became even more labored. He held on to
Kevin's hand as tight as he could, not intending to let him escape.
With a pair of doubtful eyes, Kevin looked at the old man in front of him. The old man's face had an
unnatural shade of gray, but his breathing was too fast for it to be faked. Whatever pain he was feeling,
it must be real.
"He looks like he's in a lot of pain. You should send the old man to hospital as soon as possible!" one of
the onlookers said.
Kevin nodded and looked at Anne. With no other options, Anne took the taxi to go to the hospital first.
They came to W City by plane. Kevin didn't have a car here.
Once they were at the hospital, Kevin requested a series of thorough physical exams for the old man.
Anne sat beside Kevin. She looked at him, and with a heavy sigh, she said, "It seems that we're very
unlucky today."
Kevin smiled gently. "This is nothing compared to Kim. If the old man wants money, we can just give it
to him. No need for us to argue."
For him, paying the old man was as simple as buying another piece jewelry for Anne.
He didn't have to worry about it.
Although Anne knew Kevin was right, she was upset with what had just happened.
She didn't think it right for old people to take advantage of their seniority to scam others.
Anne looked away and gritted her teeth. Thinking of society's moral degeneration made her depressed.
As soon as the test result came out, Kevin held Anne's hand and asked the doctor for the results.
They were worried. After all, the man was in his 70s. It was important for him to have a careful
examination.
The doctor looked at the test results of the old man and frowned. He looked at Kevin and Anne with
disgust. "Why did you two beat this old man so badly?
Even if he did something wrong, you shouldn't have beaten him. That's illegal! Did you know that?"
Kevin and Anne stared at each other in confusion.
The doctor said they beat the old man. What was going on?
"Doctor, you seem to have made a mistake," Kevin started to explain to the doctor. "My wife and I
planned to enjoy the night view of the city tonight, but the old man bumped into me and asked me to
send him to the hospital. We didn't beat him and we know nothing of his condition. Just now, I asked for
his family's contact information so I could call them, but he never gave it to me.
The doctor frowned and observed Kevin. The man in front of him had good manners and he seemed
well-off as he wore brand designs. Although his aura was sharp, he didn't look evil. All in all, he didn't
look like someone who would beat up an old man.
However, the test result suggested otherwise.
"There are many bruises on the old man's body. The bones in his left arm are also broken. He was
obviously beaten," the doctor said with a cold and angry tone.
The old man was already in his 70s! How could someone beat him up like this?
This also surprised Anne. She mistakenly thought that the old man was pretending. However, it wasn't
clear why he bumped into Kevin.
"Kevin, regardless of what happened to the old man, we have to contact his family," Anne said sternly.
If they didn't contact his family soon, it would be harder for them to explain why the old man was
injured.
Not only that, she and Kevin were already very famous. If this news were to spread, they would have a
difficult time clearing it up.
Kevin nodded. He also thought the same. Then they stood up and went to see the old man.
The doctor made arrangements for him to stay in the hospital and have him hooked to an intravenous
drip.
Kevin and Anne opened the door and came in. They saw that the pain on the old man's face hadn't
vanished. When he saw them, he struggled to get up, but his feeble body wouldn't allow him. He
immediately turned to the nurse and doctors around him and shouted, "They hit me!"
Kevin and Anne halted to a stop.
It was clear they were being accused of something they didn't do.
This... What was happening?
Kevin calmed down and looked at the old man with pity. "Sir, you need to have evidence to back up
what you're saying. When you fell on the ground and held my hand earlier, many witnessed what really
happened. Even the driver who sent you here can also prove that I never hit you."
As they heard Kevin's explanation, the angry doctors and nurses calmed down and looked at the old
man in confusion.
"You hit me! When the onlookers came, you were already finished. How could they know? Why would I
even frame you? I don't even know you. It's impossible that I have a grudge against you that would
propel me to frame you. Besides, if it wasn't you, why did you send me to the hospital?" The old man
closed his eyes, and in desperation, he said, "I know you despise me because I'm old. But I never
bothered you! Why did you come to me and beat me up? Should people be beaten to death just
because they are old? Although both of you are young now, won't you become old one day?"
