Su An was experiencing the feeling of walking the red carpet for the first time as a celebrity, and was a little dizzy from being surrounded by people.
She looked at Fu Zhun in surprise, "How about we go shopping again next time?"
In this situation, taking even one step is as difficult as climbing to the sky!
Fu Zhun's good mood was repeatedly ruined, and his face turned somewhat ugly and showed a hint of helplessness.
