Chapter 1874 Souvenirs
After leaving the resort center, Xia Chuqi was worried that Pedro would use some tricks to prevent her and Feng Xun from leaving smoothly, but he did what he said and no one stopped him on the way.
A sea breeze blew by. Xia Chuqi, who had been wet with cold sweat before, couldn't help but shivered. Feng Xun quickly took off his suit and wrapped her tightly, and whispered: "Little girl, the plane is already waiting on the tarmac. Let's go back quickly, otherwise you will catch a cold..." Xia Chuqi nodded and responded quietly. When he walked out of this resort center, he couldn't help but look back.
“What are you looking at?”
Feng Xun stroked her hair that was blown by the wind and asked softly.
"Nothing..." Xia Chuqi shook his head and smiled faintly. He had just glanced casually, but happened to see Pedro standing upstairs, looking at them quietly. He didn't know what to say for a moment, and his heart was rarely filled with complex feelings.
This Pedro has indeed saved her more than once, but she is destined to be unable to respond to him. In this last bet, she thought he would be a villain, but she did not expect that he would choose to be a gentleman, willing to accept the loss and let her and Feng Xun leave! Xia Chuqi thought of this and sighed softly. If Pedro could see the respect and dedication of the people around him, he might be able to reap his true love! "Let's go!"
Xia Chuqi withdrew his gaze, held Feng Xun's palm, and said with a smile.
Feng Xun nodded slightly, wrapped her shoulders in his arms. When he was about to walk to the car parked outside with her, an elderly gray-haired old man walked out of some corner and said to Xia Chuqi: "Wait--" When the bodyguards Kerry and Jiashan saw a strangely dressed strange old man, they wanted to approach Mr. Feng and Mrs. Feng, and immediately blocked her outside and asked coldly: "Who?"
Xia Chuqi recognized the old man who suddenly came over was the native old woman who had bought many souvenirs before. He quickly smiled at Kerry and Jiashan, "Don't be nervous, she has no malice, you can retreat aside first..." The two bodyguards then retreated aside. Xia Chuqi let go of Feng Xun's hand, took the initiative to walk to the native old woman, and smiled politely: "Old lady, why are you here? Did you say goodbye to me?"
The old native shop owner smiled and nodded, took out a delicately woven straw doll from his arms, handed it to Xia Chuqi, and whispered: "This voodoo doll was what I promised to give to you before. Now it has been prepared and left to you as a souvenir!"
Xia Chuqi took over the voodoo doll woven by the indigenous old lady for her. Unlike the one I saw before, this one was much more exquisitely crafted and round-headed. It looked no longer as gloomy as before, but it became a little more cute.
This time she did not refuse the kindness of the indigenous old lady. She took the voodoo doll and smiled gratefully to the indigenous old lady in front of her and said, "Old lady, thank you for your gift, I will collect it well!"
A smile slowly appeared on the wrinkled face of the old native shop owner. He looked at Xia Chuqi, then looked at Feng Xun, and gestured to the two, whispering: "I wish you happiness!"
"Thank you for your blessing!"
Xia Chuqi curled his lips slightly, turned his head to look at Feng Xun, and smiled and held hands with him, saying goodbye to the native old lady. Then the group got into the car and left.
On the way to the apron, Feng Xun glanced at the voodoo doll that Xia Chuqi had pinched in his hand, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion: "Little girl, the old lady was dressed a little strangely, why did she suddenly give you a strange straw doll?"
"She is the owner of a local craft shop here. It is said that she is an indigenous person here and knows all kinds of hand-woven products. A few days ago, Lacey, the loyal female subordinate of Pedro, was wandering around the resort center together. She visited her small shop and bought a lot of things. She wanted to give me a voodoo doll like this. As a result, a little accident happened..." Xia Chuqi said this, stopped and began to hesitate whether to tell Feng Xun about Lilith.
"Accident?
What an accident?"
Feng Xun did not intend to let go of this little detail, frowned and asked with concern.
"Actually, there is nothing. There is a woman, the one who is specifically responsible for accompanying Pedro and those men. She misunderstood my relationship with Pedro. She found fault with me when she came to the store. She deliberately threw the voodoo doll that the old lady wanted to give me to the ground and stepped on it a few times, and then it broke..." Xia Chuqi said this, shrugged and sneered, "I originally wanted to compensate, but the old lady said it could be repaired, and she thought I had patronized her business and insisted on giving me another new one. I thought she was talking casually, but she didn't expect she was really thinking about this matter, so she just gave me this new doll, and you saw it too!"
"So that's the case..." Feng Xun nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "Where is the woman you are talking about named Lilith?
Where is she?
Apart from finding fault with you, has she done anything that hurts you?"
He always felt that a few days ago, when talking to the little girl, the little girl was in a very weak state, her voice was hoarse, and she spoke weakly. Now, seeing it with her own eyes, she found that she didn't seem to have a cold... Thinking of Pedro's attitude, a bold guess appeared in Feng Xun's heart, and he couldn't help but frown and asked, "Little girl, tell me honestly, a few days ago, when I was talking to you, your throat was so hoarse, it was not because of a cold, right?"
Xia Chuqi raised his eyes and met Feng Xun's inquiring gaze, nodded and smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "I can't hide anything from you. I'm really not catching a cold, but I was plotted against me and was admitted to the hospital... To be honest, today I was taken out of the hospital by Pedro's subordinate Laixi, and sent directly to the back of the casino in the resort center. I watched the whole game between you and Pedro through the screen!"
When Feng Xun heard this, he subconsciously clasped her palm and asked in a low voice: "What did they... do to you?"
"If I say it, you are not allowed to get angry..." Xia Chuqi was worried that he would not be able to suppress his anger, so he quickly spoke first. In this situation, the first thing they had to do was to leave Pedro's resort safely, rather than cause trouble for Pedro's friends! "I promise you!"
