The Male Lead Suddenly Became My Lapdog after I Annulled Our Engagement

99 A Trap

He Miao turned down He Wei’s invitation and went to the supermarket to buy some groceries so she could go home and cook.

When she reached the supermarket, she happened to run into Aunty Li, who was standing at the door.

Aunty Li looked kind, and He Miao had a good impression of her. However, the last time she saw Aunty Li’s husband, it was obvious that he was a man with ulterior motives, so she could not help but sympathize with her.

As soon as Aunty Li saw her, she came over and greeted her warmly.

He Miao smiled politely. “Are you here to buy something too?”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Aunty Li clutched her clothes tightly and said in embarrassment, “I realized that I forgot to bring money when I got here, but it’s a little troublesome to go back and get it. I just called my husband to ask him to bring it to me, but he didn’t pick up. I’m really worried.”

“It’s okay, Aunty Li. I have money here. I can lend it to you first.” He Miao smiled graciously. It was not easy to support a family. Judging by Aunty Li’s small figure, he knew that she must have had a hard time.

He Miao was still willing to help out with the small matter between neighbors.

Aunty Li immediately nodded gratefully. “Then let’s go back together later. I’ll return the money to you directly.”

“Alright.” He Miao smiled and went into the supermarket with Aunty Li.

After all, He Miao had little life experience. Even before she entered the book, she rarely did things like buying groceries herself. It was usually done by the servants at home.

Aunty Li could tell that she was not good at picking out vegetables, so she carefully taught her her experience, teaching her which vegetables looked fresh and which fruits looked sweet.

He Miao listened attentively and memorized everything.

These small details were exactly what she needed the most right now. He Miao quickly paid for Aunty Li, and both of them were carrying bags full of things.

When they left the supermarket, He Miao realized that almost an hour had passed.

The two of them chatted so happily that they even forgot the time.

On the way back, He Miao chatted with her from time to time, but Aunty Li suddenly fell silent. She looked at the pretty girl beside her, her eyes filled with conflict.

He Miao noticed that she kept looking at him out of the corner of her eye and asked curiously, “Aunty Li, what’s wrong? Did you forget to buy something? I can go back with you, it’s fine.”

“No, no, no, no.” Aunty Li opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, she swallowed it down. She took the lead and walked in front, so nervous that she did not dare to face the little girl’s clear eyes.

He Miao thought that she had forgotten what she had bought and was too embarrassed to say it, so he did not take it to heart.

When they reached downstairs, the sky had already turned completely dark.

Aunty Li raised her foot and stepped up the steps, but suddenly turned her head and lowered her head in guilt. “Little girl, Aunty Li will return the money to you.”

He Miao smiled and shook her head. “You’re too kind. It’s just a small amount of money. I’m not in a hurry to collect it. Just send it to me whenever you have the time. I’ve learned a lot from you today.”

Aunty Li still wanted to say something, but she heard light footsteps coming from upstairs. Her body trembled and she turned around nervously. She lowered her head and said in a hoarse voice, “Let’s go up.”

This was an old neighborhood. There were no elevators, and the corridor was very narrow, only able to fit one person. Moreover, the two of them were holding things in their hands.

He Miao followed behind her quietly, her head lowered as she thought about the steps to prepare the dishes tonight. Suddenly, she heard the footsteps in front of her stop, and she realized that she had reached the door of her house.

Aunty Li turned around, the smile on her face completely gone. “Miaomiao, you’re a good kid. Aunty will take her leave first.”

He Miao blinked. Suddenly, a bad feeling rose in her heart, but she could not tell why. She could only watch as Aunty Li walked up the stairs.

She took out her keys and was about to open the door when she suddenly felt a chill on her back. She turned her head quickly, but there was no one behind her.

Inside the room, Onion heard her voice and started barking happily. He Miao frowned and quickly opened the door. She was about to pick up the things beside her when an arm suddenly appeared behind her and covered her mouth and nose.

He Miao threw away the things in her hands anxiously and slapped his arm. The disgusting smell of sweat immediately hit her face, and the strange man behind her suddenly pressed his body against hers.
