Chapter 540: Stealing a cart

With a clean “kacha” sound!

That thug’s hand had not even touched Chen Ning before he felt a pain coming from his wrist. He looked down and suddenly gave a pitiful cry, “My hand! My hand is broken, broken! Aiyo, it’s so painful!”

He held his wrist as he cried out in pain, but he didn’t know why his wrist had suddenly broken.

The people on the side all clearly saw what happened. That snow white clothed beautiful youth reached out a finger and gently tapped the thug’s wrist and broke it.

“Zi——” A cold gasp came from around them as everyone looked at Chu Shao Bai with gazes of shock.

This beautiful youth was so strong!

“If you dare have any ideas towards her, this fellow will be your fate! All of you scram!”

Chu Shao Bai’s face and voice was as cold as ice. His eye’s swept over the group of thugs and their bodies froze.

This is bad, they met trouble today. These two people could not be offended!

The thugs quickly supported that thug with the broken wrist and ran off into the crowd, disappearing without a trace.

Chu Shao Bai’s face was not very good looking at this moment. He never thought that there would be someone this bold, daring to play with his beloved girl in broad daylight.

If he didn’t want to cause a scene, he would have broken all of those person’s limbs.

He wanted to bring her here to see the festivities, but how could he still be in the mood for the festivities now. He knew that if they remained here, they would become the center of attention and everyone would come stare at them.

He placed his hand on her shoulder and flew away from the crowd. Wherever there were less people, he would go there.

Very quickly they had left the crowd and had appeared in a small road with no one around.

“Xiao Bai, weren’t we going to see the festivities? Why did you bring me here?” Chen Ning looked around. The little alley was dark and not a single person could be seen, it was a completely different world from the previous lively street.

Chu Shao Bai waved his sleeve and gave a groan. Thinking of the crowd staring at her with their burning eyes, he wanted to use a cover to cover her up from head to toe, not letting anyone see her.

He felt his head pulsing. He had wanted to bring her shopping, but in the end, his stomach was filled with anger.

“There are too many people there and it is too chaotic, also there isn’t anything good to see.” He suddenly grabbed her hand and ran out of the alley, “I though of a good place where it is quiet and beautiful, I will take you there.”

He pulled her out of the alley and saw a horse carriage parked to the side. There were no people in the cart and the horse was tied to a tree to the side, its owner should have gone to see the festivities.

Without saying anything else, he untied the horse reins and pulled her over to the cart. He sat down in the driver seat, cracked the whip, and drove off.

“Xiao Bai, this cart has an owner. I never thought that the respected King Jing An would also steal carts?” Chen Ning pursed her lips into a smile as she spoke.

“You’re right, I don’t steal.” Chu Shai Bao nodded with a smile. He took out a bag of silvers and threw it underneath the tree before whipping the horse forward.

“Hey, what if someone else takes this money? Wouldn’t the owner have lost a cart for nothing?”

“That has nothing to do with me. I have given the money, so I’m taking the cart. This doesn’t count as stealing, don’t you think so?” He smiled back at her before urging the horse cart forward.

Very quickly, the horse cart left the capital and arrived in the outskirts.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city. There was a patch of green grass and fresh air all around them.
