The two of them walked aimlessly along Huaibei Road, with the sunlight shining from behind, enveloping them both in a hazy glow.
Gu Chenan took Su Qianmo to his favorite small restaurant, where they ate some uniquely memorable dishes.
Then they strolled along the pedestrian street, holding milk tea and snacks in their hands, eating and browsing as they went.
In the novel world, Su Qianmo was the young lady of the Su family, the company's CEO, and Donghai's number one beauty.
These three titles required her to maintain a dignified demeanor at all times.
But here, she was none of those things.
Correspondingly, she felt free from psychological burdens, and the relaxed atmosphere of not having to care about others' gazes made her feel exceptionally comfortable.
The only thing that bothered her was the astonished expressions of passersby.
Su Qianmo, like a celestial maiden who had descended from the heavens, attracted attention everywhere she went.
Or rather, wherever she passed, she caused a stir and commotion.
Passersby were incredibly curious about the identity of Su Qianmo, this otherworldly beauty.
At the same time, they became curious about Gu Chenan beside Su Qianmo.
The pairing of a handsome man and a beautiful woman was indeed pleasing to the eye, but someone as stunningly beautiful as Su Qianmo surely couldn't be with Gu Chenan just for his looks, right?
So... what was the identity of this man beside the beauty?
A rich second-generation heir?
Amidst the speculative gazes of the crowd, Gu Chenan held Su Qianmo's hand as they walked towards the exit of the pedestrian street.
"How do you feel?" Gu Chenan turned his head and asked with a warm smile.
"It's been a long time since I've walked so freely on the streets. I'm very happy," Su Qianmo replied.
As she spoke, Su Qianmo looked back at the people on the pedestrian street and whispered, "It's just that these gazes make me a bit... afraid..."
Gu Chenan held Su Qianmo in his arms, patting his chest like a chivalrous big brother, "Don't worry, you won't be in any danger with me around."
Gu Chenan had brought back his ancient martial arts skills from the novel world.
In that world, he wasn't the strongest, but in the real world, no one could threaten him with his martial arts abilities.
Su Qianmo nestled her head against Gu Chenan's chest, her smile as radiant as flowers, "Alright, then I'll entrust my safety to you."
"Of course," Gu Chenan gently kissed Su Qianmo's forehead. "I'll never let you be kidnapped again."
"Is that so~" Su Qianmo mischievously wrapped her arms around Gu Chenan's neck and whispered in his ear, "But... I want you to kidnap me according to the novel's plot, and do everything that needs to be done."
Holy cow, bondage play?
Gu Chenan was shocked. Su Qianmo had read the original novel and come up with this idea?
To be fair, she understood kidnapping.
Gu Chenan grinned and suddenly slapped Su Qianmo's round, full bottom beneath her bodycon skirt, "Alright, since you've asked so sincerely, I'll graciously fulfill your wish."
"Tonight, I'll let you experience what didn't get to happen in the original plot!"
Su Qianmo's cheeks immediately flushed red, and she bit her lip lightly, nodding, "Mm~"
The passersby on the pedestrian street who witnessed this scene were stunned.
"Damn, that guy actually slapped the beautiful woman's bottom in public!"
"And the beauty didn't get angry at all, she's just blushing. What's going on?"
"Geez, he doesn't know how to cherish a delicate flower at all! If I had such a beautiful girlfriend, I'd treat her with the utmost care. This guy is so rough!"
The crowd was indignant and worked up.
If it weren't for Su Qianmo showing no signs of anger, these people might have rushed over to educate Gu Chenan on how to treat a lady.
...
After leaving the pedestrian street, the couple hailed a taxi, planning to go look at some houses.
However, when the people on the pedestrian street saw Gu Chenan hailing a taxi, they were shocked once again.
"What the hell? Taking a taxi? Doesn't this guy have a car?"
"Apart from being handsome, what qualities does this guy have to deserve such a beautiful woman by his side?"
"This beauty could easily make it in the entertainment industry! With her looks and figure, she's definitely future A-list actress material!"
Amidst the crowd's confusion and bewilderment, Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo got into the taxi and left the pedestrian street.
But the discussions among the street vendors in the pedestrian street didn't stop, and would continue for some time.
Half an hour later.
Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo arrived at the sales office of a villa district.
The sales office parking lot was filled with luxury cars, which was not surprising.
After all, this was the sales office for a villa district, and anyone who could afford to buy a house here was either rich or influential.
Gu Chenan glanced at the luxury cars in the parking lot, feeling a bit strange.
Perhaps he should buy a car too.
But in reality, it would be better to buy a low-key car. Being too ostentatious in the real world wasn't a good thing.
Pushing aside these thoughts, Gu Chenan looked at the salespeople wearing white shirts in the sales office.
In Gu Chenan's plan, he wanted to buy a villa with at least seven bedrooms.
Although there were only he and Su Qianmo now, the other female protagonists would be coming through soon, making a total of seven people including himself.
"Let's go in," Gu Chenan said, holding Su Qianmo's hand as they prepared to enter.
Su Qianmo pursed her lips and said softly, "I drank too much milk tea... I need to use the restroom."

However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw!
