Chapter 341: Chapter 186: Sugar-Coated Cannonball
Xiaoli’s enthusiastic introduction had piqued Lin Shen’s interest. After sitting in the car and trying it out, he was indeed very satisfied with its various smart features.
It felt incredibly futuristic.
So, without another word, Lin Shen ordered the car directly from his phone and paid the deposit.
After all, even fully optioned, it was still less than 800,000.
Xiaoli hadn’t expected the customer his colleague introduced to be so extravagant!
He said he’d order the car and just did it, without a shred of hesitation or dawdling.
This made Xiaoli beam, his tone filled with admiration and respect.
"For someone so young to become a distinguished owner of our Yangwang U7, you’re truly young and promising!"
"I’m not the owner."
Lin Shen smiled faintly.
"This car is a gift for my girlfriend."
Huh?
Girlfriend?
The smile on Xiaoli’s face suddenly stiffened, his mind a jumble.
Didn’t he just pick up a Han EV for his girlfriend? Why was he now getting a Yangwang U7 for his girlfriend?
’Could it be... this is the mistress?’
Xiaoli was startled for a moment, then his face filled with envy.
’No wonder he can have two girlfriends.’
’Giving away a car worth over 700,000 just like that... If I were a woman, I’d have to cling tightly to a rich, young, handsome heir like him too!’
"Besides, I’m not that young anymore."
"Hey! Don’t say that."
Hearing Lin Shen’s self-deprecating comment, Xiaoli hurried to flatter him.
"Isn’t there a saying online? ’A man is a boy at heart until the day he dies!’ I’m sure your girlfriend will absolutely love the Yangwang U7!"
While Xiaoli was trying to buddy up with Lin Shen, Lin Ping came hurrying over from a short distance away.
When she saw the Yangwang U7’s streamlined, futuristic body, she was completely stunned.
"President Lin, are you planning to buy this car?"
"Not planning to."
Lin Shen chuckled as he got out of the car.
"I’ve already placed the order."
"Is that so? Congratulations."
Lin Ping praised him with a smile.
"You can tell this car is expensive just by looking at it. The exterior looks so cool!"
"It’s alright. Less than 800,000."
Lin Ping was long accustomed to Lin Shen’s way of subtly flexing, so she didn’t have much of a reaction.
Xiaoli, on the other hand, heard this and a bitter smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
’The gap between people is really huge.’
’When I was in my twenties, I was still on a college campus wondering which cafeteria to eat at for dinner.’
’But here he is in his twenties, buying an 800,000-yuan car without a second thought!’
"How did things go on your end?"
Lin Shen asked with a smile, wrapping an arm around Lin Ping’s soft waist.
"Can we drive the new car off the lot?"
"You need to go handle the paperwork."
Lin Ping leaned into Lin Shen’s embrace, her face full of bliss as she murmured softly.
"President Lin, thank you for the car. I think Anan will be so happy when she finds out!"
"Then you can drive the new car to pick her up."
Lin Shen flicked his left wrist, glancing at the time on his Rolex.
"It’s already four-thirty. It’s almost time for Anan to get out of school."
"Mhm."
Lin Ping agreed quietly and then asked.
"Then... will you come over to our place tonight? I’d like to cook you a meal to thank you."
"No need to cook. I’ll take you guys out to eat."
Lin Shen smiled mysteriously again.
"There’s somewhere else we need to go tonight."
?
Lin Ping’s expression froze. Her heart suddenly sped up, her pretty, flushed face glowing with intense shyness.
’Is President Lin hinting that I shouldn’t go home tonight?’
’This is great!’
Lin Ping had long been hoping for a chance to repay Lin Shen’s kindness in her own way.
’I’ll just offer him my backside tonight!’
’For this day, I’ve already made thorough preparations, looking up all sorts of embarrassing tutorials online and buying the necessary items to get used to it in advance.’
’I’m even wearing it right now!’
’Since President Lin has a surprise for me, I should prepare a "surprise" for him too!’
A shy light flickered in Lin Ping’s eyes, yet within it was a seductive charm imperceptible to most.
She linked her arm tightly with Lin Shen’s and followed him back to the vehicle pickup hall to finish the remaining contract paperwork.
5:00 PM.
The brand-new BYD Han, still without license plates, followed the Jaguar XFL out of the dealership.
「5:30 PM.」
「Outside Xinxing Kindergarten.」
After Anan came out with the main group from her class, she saw that Lin Shen had come with her mom to pick her up again. Her expression immediately lit up with excitement, and she started running toward them, shouting at the top of her lungs.
"Daddy! Mommy!"
?
Anan’s voice attracted the attention of many parents nearby, and they all turned to look at Lin Shen and Lin Ping.
Although the man was handsome and the woman had a gentle appearance...
...the age gap between them was obvious. They didn’t look like a couple at all!
More like an older sister and her younger brother.
But they were actually husband and wife?
The strange looks from those around them made Lin Ping’s pretty face flush. She squatted down, hugged Anan tightly, and stressed seriously,
"Anan, when we’re outside, you have to call him Brother Lin Shen! You’re not allowed to call him Daddy!"
"But Mommy, didn’t you accept Brother Lin Shen’s proposal last time?"
Anan spoke with the unfiltered innocence of a child, which made Lin Ping feel even more mortified. She quickly calmed her flustered emotions and explained gently,
"I did accept, but Mommy and Brother Lin Shen haven’t gotten our marriage certificate yet. So for now, you should call him Brother. You can call him Daddy after we get married, understand?"
"Mhm."
Anan nodded obediently. Then, Lin Ping carried her over to the new car, causing the little girl’s beautiful eyes to widen in an instant.
"Huh? Is this your car, Mommy?"
"No, it’s a gift to Mommy from your Brother Lin Shen."
Lin Ping glanced tenderly at Lin Shen, then explained with a faint smile.
"Brother Lin Shen knew Anan likes cars, so he bought one for you. Do you like it?"
"I love it! I love it so much!"
Anan circled the new car, clapping her hands and jumping up and down, looking as excited as could be.
