it was already late at night.
most of the people living in this community were elderly. at this time, they were basically all asleep.
the narrow alley was exceptionally quiet.
although the footsteps behind her were light, they could still be heard clearly in such a quiet environment.
fang ziqian quickened her pace subconsciously, and the footsteps behind her followed suit.
she was shocked and slowed down her pace. the sound of her footsteps also slowed down.
fang ziqian’s heart was in her mouth at the sudden change.
she was definitely being followed!
before she came to europe, she had heard that the security in some of London’s neighborhoods was very poor and that there were often drunkards harassing single women. however, she had never encountered one.
now that she had really encountered such a situation, she did not know what to do for a moment.
if they continued walking, they would definitely be caught up.
she was not a violent woman like luo chenxi, who had outstanding skills since she was young. it was highly unlikely that she would be able to run away once she was caught by the robbers.
however, stopping was even more out of the question.
even if they called the police now, it was already too late to put out the fire nearby …
just as fang ziqian’s mind was in a mess and her heart was pounding, the footsteps behind her suddenly stopped.
fang ziqian took a few more steps forward, but the sound of her footsteps did not come again.
however, this didn’t make her feel at ease. instead, it made her feel even more horrified. she kept feeling that the other party was planning something terrifying …
at this moment, she heard a click behind her.
this strange sound finally scared fang ziqian so much that she lost her ability to think. she ran with all her might towards the building she lived in, completely relying on her instincts!
she had never run so fast in her life.
he didn’t look back at all. he ran straight into the building and into the elevator.
fang ziqian heaved a long sigh of relief when the elevator door closed behind her.
it seemed like … the other party didn’t chase after them?
even so, she dared not let her guard down. she gave luo chenxi a call immediately. she observed the situation in her surroundings cautiously while she was talking to the other party.
after making sure there was nothing out of the ordinary, fang ziqian opened the door and entered her apartment.
as soon as she entered the door, a ball of white fur pounced on her and clung to her calf.
“meow meow! meowmeowmeowmeowmeow!”
a soft cry was heard.
hearing the familiar voice, the fear in fang ziqian’s heart dissipated a little.
she locked the door, squatted down, and picked up a snow-white kitten.
“lili, mom came back late. are you hungry? mommy will get you something to eat immediately!”
“meow!” lili’s pink little paws were on fang ziqian’s arm, and her head was tilted to the side, looking adorable.
fang ziqian’s heart softened.
she had wanted to raise a cat since she was very young. unfortunately, she was in the orphanage when she was young and according to the rules, pets were not allowed.
after she started working, although she had her own small apartment, she did not have the confidence to take good care of the pet because she had to work overtime every day and go on business trips. after a long time, she did not raise one in the end.
it was a complete accident that he adopted lili this time.
three months ago, she had decided to settle down in London. on the first day she moved here, it rained heavily.
she worked until late at night and came back in the rain. just as she was about to enter the door, she suddenly heard a meow.
