Chapter 20: “not Teasing Me Anymore?”
“No matter how old she is, she’s still Krystal, and she has to call me older sister.”
“Mm.”
“Ask her if older sister is called Jessica, if it’s me.”
“Yes.”
“Besides, I was born earlier than her, so what else could I be but older sister.”
“Okay.”
Looking at Jung Soo Yeon who was a bit stamping her feet in the front passenger seat next to him, Lin Xiuyuan laughed amusedly, and with a bit of stirring trouble meaning, “But these words, you’ll have to say them to her yourself later. Anyway, I think she mostly wants you to call her. Then I’ll open a door for you two, no charge, just treat it as a ticket to watch the show.”
“Get lost, if you keep this up, I’ll deduct some of the car buying expenses from you later.”
As the financial backer, as long as she didn’t need this guy to open a door for her, Jung Soo Yeon had the confidence to threaten him.
However, for Lin Xiuyuan, this had no threat at all, “Whatever, I think as long as it can get me around, it’s fine. Seriously, after driving a few times over there in 25, the ones here are no different from old man’s cars, so driving anything is the same.”
Not even having a center console screen, isn’t that just an antique?
Jung Soo Yeon glanced at Lin Xiuyuan next to her. Though a bit annoyed, she didn’t feel unconvinced at all.
After all, after riding in that new model GLS back from 25, she also found her own car not worth mentioning.
After saying that, Lin Xiuyuan continued, “Point the way, I don’t know where to buy a car.”
“Just drive around casually first. What brand do you like?”
Jung Soo Yeon asked back, but then heard Lin Xiuyuan say something that almost made her roll her eyes, “Whatever, I’m not picky, as long as it drives.”
“Hey~ Don’t be so wishy-washy, okay? Don’t boys all really like cars? There must be some brand you like.”
Seeing Jung Soo Yeon’s reaction of being pissed off, Lin Xiuyuan smiled, “I really don’t like cars that much. Compared to driving, I prefer riding in cars. Driving is too tiring, and traffic jams are even more irritating.”
Hearing this answer, Jung Soo Yeon couldn’t help turning her head to look at the boy who could proficiently drive one-handed, feeling a bit emotional.
“Something’s off. In this aspect, you’re really not like a 20-year-old boy. If it were other young boys, they’d definitely love sports cars or performance cars, isn’t it the driving pleasure?”
“Sports car? Then if I really like it, can you really buy one for me?”
“What car?”
Facing Jung Soo Yeon’s question, Lin Xiuyuan turned his head and made a little joke, “Ferrari 458, the classic model, the big red one. That one’s I really like.”
He didn’t expect Jung Soo Yeon’s reaction to exceed expectations. She wasn’t shocked, nor did she show a pained expression, but instead looked at him seriously and said, “You really like it?”
“Huh?” This time it was Lin Xiuyuan who was stunned.
Jung Soo Yeon answered flatly, “What I mean is, if you really like it, it’s not a big deal to give you one.”
Though she didn’t know exactly how much a 458 cost, no matter how expensive a car was, as long as it wasn’t some limited edition super sports car, with her current wealth, she could definitely afford it.
Seeing Jung Soo Yeon’s serious little expression, Lin Xiuyuan, who had originally wanted to tease her a bit more, immediately shook his head and refused, “Forget it. In the end, you’ll be the ones sitting in the front passenger seat more often. If the car is too flashy, it’ll get stared at as soon as we go out.”
“Then buy a Land Rover. How about it? There’s apparently a Range Rover coming out recently. The cabin is spacious enough, the visibility is comfortable, and the styling is pretty nice too.”
“Whatev…” Lin Xiuyuan, who was about to say whatever, noticed the woman’s gaze wasn’t friendly and quickly changed his words, “Sure, then that one.”
Once the model was decided, the rest of the process was very simple.
Navigate to the Land Rover dealership, head straight there, didn’t even bother test driving, found a pleasing salesperson to sit down with, and had them bring out the Range Rover purchase contract to sign.
This outrageous action scared the sales staff, who hurriedly said, “Actually, our new model still has some optional configurations to choose from. Why don’t you two take a look.”
“No need to choose, just the top gasoline version directly, and for the color… what do you like?”
After finalizing the hardware details, Jung Soo Yeon, who was paying, handed the selection rights to Lin Xiuyuan, stunning even the salesperson.
Carefully glancing at Lin Xiuyuan, she, who recognized Jung Soo Yeon, thought to herself that this guy wouldn’t be a kept pretty boy, would he.
Lin Xiuyuan looked at the promotional image, “Then exterior black interior red, looks pretty good.”
“Mm, then this one. Sign the contract.”
“Ah, oh oh oh, got it. Please wait a moment, you two. I’ll go get it right now.”
Ten-odd minutes later, the two who had signed the contract and paid the deposit got back in the car. The entire car buying process took less than half an hour—this speed was unbeatable.
After settling on the new car, Jung Soo Yeon looked at Lin Xiuyuan, “What are you doing next?”
“Go to 25 to watch videos and sleep.”
Hearing this answer, Jung Soo Yeon was a bit frantic, “Hey, don’t stay over there all day. Like this, I can’t even find you when I want to. Mobile phone signals can’t cross time.”
“Otherwise, what am I supposed to do here? I go over there to explore information, understand what happened these past few years, so I can tell you about it.”
Hearing this reason, Jung Soo Yeon, who still wanted to say something, was directly speechless.
After a long while, she sullenly said, “Then when are you going to show me?”
And she, who had just said it casually, got an answer that made her heart surge.
“Show what? Oh, that future information, right? Hahaha, since we’ve basically confirmed our cooperative relationship now, whenever you want to see it, you can see it. I won’t stop you anymore.”
Facing Lin Xiuyuan’s answer, Jung Soo Yeon truly hadn’t expected that this permission she’d been longing for for many days would be opened to her so simply. For a moment, she didn’t even know what to say.
Discovering Jung Soo Yeon was silent, Lin Xiuyuan turned to look and saw her staring straight at him, then smiled again, “No tricking you. If you want, I can take you back right now, open the door for you to go over and look around freely, as long as you have time.”
“Not holding it over me anymore?” Jung Soo Yeon, silent for a long time, squeezed out these words.
“I’ve held it over you for a while, that’s enough. Holding it forever is tiring too, no need.”
Jung Soo Yeon looked down at her mobile phone and the two books next to it.
Taking a deep breath of air, she held back her excitement and replied, “Got it. Then take me to the company first. You drive this car until the new one is delivered, so next time you don’t have to take Soo Jung out walking in the rain again. Too embarrassing.”
“What about you?”
“I have a team activity tomorrow and need to fly to Tokyo. I’ll find you when I get back.”
Lin Xiuyuan nodded, no pleasantries, stepped on the accelerator to leave the dealership, and followed navigation toward S.M. Company.
Here, specifically answering the two questions everyone cares about.
First is the specific update time: This really can’t be helped. I have work during the day, slacking off to write one chapter in between is already the max. I can only write the second chapter after getting off work in the evening, and even later I have a second job. Truly a workhorse.
Then about extra updates: Can’t do extra updates for now either, because the new book period has word count requirements. If I update too urgently and burst the word count, this book won’t get the exposure traffic on the new book list anymore, so I can only explode updates after going on shelves.
Finally, once again troubling everyone to keep reading, comment more. Been dropping in rankings all day, pretty bad. Hope everyone doesn’t stockpile the book. Stockpiling during new book period really causes problems.
That’s all, bow in thanks!!!!
