Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed Chapter 276 - 137 True Man4

Suddenly, Bai Weixi rembered that Li Yuan had ntioned yesterday they were going to look at cars today.

Bai Weixi hemd and hawed, looking at Wang Yuchen with so embarrassnt. "Uh, Yuchen, I think I forgot sothing. Li Yuan actually did make plans."

Wang Yuchen asked curiously, "Oh? What plans did he make?"

With a blissful smile, Bai Weixi explained, "Yesterday, he told to look at cars, saying he wanted to buy one."

Wang Yuchen was startled, her eyes widening in disbelief. "What? Li Yuan is going to buy you a car?"

Bai Weixi nodded with a smile. "Mhmm." Li Yuan had indeed told her that.

Wang Yuchen looked at her best friend with an expression full of envy. In an instant, her opinion of Li Yuan did a complete one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn.

Gifting a car right off the bat... maybe his beastly behavior last night is sowhat excusable now. It’s just... doing it with his shoes still on. That was a bit too desperate. Not romantic at all.

She thought about the river-view apartnt she was living in, a large four-bedroom residence. She had even looked up the real estate prices in the complex; in Modu, it would take at least 2,500,000 to secure a place like this. It was her lifelong dream, yet Bai Weixi was already living in one right after starting college. Now, Li Yuan was about to get her a car as well. With both a house and a car, and with Li Yuan’s capabilities, her future was secure.

But for her and Xu Zhi, there wasn’t even a glimr of such hope. She couldn’t help but feel a huge sense of disparity. She and Bai Weixi were best friends, so she couldn’t help but make comparisons. This hadn’t been an issue in high school when the differences weren’t so apparent, but upon entering college, the gap had beco far too large.

"Bai," Wang Yuchen asked, full of envy, "what kind of car does he plan to get you?"

"He told I could choose whatever I wanted," Bai Weixi said, shaking her head. "But I refused."

Now it was Wang Yuchen’s turn to be perplexed. "You refused? Why? Didn’t you just get your driver’s license?"

During the sumr break, she and Bai Weixi had taken the driving test together, though they enrolled in a different driving school than Li Yuan, Xu Zhi, and Wang Shuai. With her license in hand, all she was missing was a car.

Bai Weixi smiled as she explained, "It’s not easy for Li Yuan to earn money. He has to write his book until late every night and often works overti at the company. I don’t really need a car, so there’s no point in wasting his money. Besides, as long as he has a car, that’s enough. I can just be the passenger and let him be my personal driver."

After thinking it over, Wang Yuchen felt that Bai Weixi had a point. They had just started college, and their lives were a simple back-and-forth between two points. There really wasn’t a need for a separate car. Not only was buying a car expensive, but gas and insurance were also substantial costs.

"Bai, you said Li Yuan was planning to go car shopping today, so why isn’t he here yet? It’s already past ten."

Hearing this, Bai Weixi subconsciously glanced out the window. He returned so late last night. He’s probably still sleeping at the hotel, right?

"Yuchen, I’m not in a hurry anyway. We can just wait for him."

Wang Yuchen was speechless. "You really know how to spoil him."

...

「Jinxiu Villas」

Li Yuan indeed didn’t get out of bed until almost nine in the morning. Hearing Xia Zhijin and Li Zixia chatting happily in the living room, he inwardly heaved a sigh of relief.

Good, good. Another thrilling yet safe day. My performance as a master of ti managent last night wasn’t bad at all. Looking back, it was a success for the most part. I’ve taken another solid step on the path of a scoundrel.

Li Yuan opened his phone and, unsurprisingly, was t with a flood of new ssages.

Zhong Tingyue: [Senior, where are you? Kidnapped by aliens?]

Jiang Zhiyu: [Xia Hua, I’m boarding my flight soon. I’m going to Beijing with my dad and will be there for a few days. You have to miss ! From your Little Fish, who thinks of you every single mont.]

Liu Jia: [Yuan, where are you heading for the National Day holiday? Need an errand boy? Take with you!]

Xu Zhi: [Yuan, where are you going for National Day? Want to team up?]

Wang Shuai: [Yuan, I need your advice. I want to ask a girl I like out, but she doesn’t want to go and prefers to stay cooped up at school. How can I get her to co out?]

...

Besides these familiar nas, Li Yuan also saw ssages from several university classmates, all asking where he was going for the holiday and if they could tag along. He was a bit puzzled; when had he beco so popular? Besides, it was the National Day holiday. Wasn’t it better for everyone to do their own thing?

Seriously, do they all want to be third wheels? he muttered to himself, trying to figure out how to reply to Zhong Tingyue.

He quickly reviewed the situation. He had just seen Bai Weixi last night and was going to shop for a car with her soon. Little Fish had already flown to Beijing, so there was no need to worry there.

He replied to her: "Little Fish, have fun in Beijing. I miss you too."

Xia Zhijin was in the living room, so she wasn’t an imdiate concern either. He could find an excuse later to send her and Li Zixia out shopping. That only left Zhong Tingyue, who was alone at school and seed a bit upset. He needed to soothe her properly.

After so thought, Li Yuan crafted an excuse and sent her a ssage: "Little Moon, I drank too much last night and just woke up. There are so ga adaptation issues at Wangyi Company that I need to handle. This line of work is so demanding. I’ll probably be busy all day, but if I get back early tonight, I’ll co find you at school."

After ssaging Zhong Tingyue, Li Yuan replied to his other classmates as well. More than ten minutes passed without a reply from her, causing Li Yuan’s heart to sink.

Crap, is Little Moon angry?

But since he was at ho, he couldn’t call her and could only wait patiently.

...

"Zhijin, why don’t you and Zixia go browse the nearby malls and supermarkets? Sothing ca up at work, so I have to head out for a bit."

Before Xia Zhijin could say anything, Li Zixia expressed her dissatisfaction, grumbling, "Bro, why are you as busy as the president every day? Can’t you spend so ti with and Zhijin? It’s the National Day holiday, and your company is making you work overti? That’s just inhumane."

Xia Zhijin asked in a low voice, her tone laced with worry, "Li Yuan, it’s a holiday. Is there sothing really urgent at the company? Let go with you."

Li Yuan replied with a calm, composed smile, "Zhijin, you know the company is developing gas and a website. We’ve run into so technical difficulties that I need to handle. Just relax and go shopping with Zixia. There should be holiday events at the Longyu Building. Go buy so nice clothes, shoes, bags, and things like that."

He then turned to the sulking Li Zixia. "Zixia, I’m increasing your allowance for today. Take good care of Zhijin for ."

Hearing this, Li Zixia’s face lit up with joy. "Bro, go off to your overti without any worries! I’ll definitely take great care of Zhijin. Hehe, bro, can I ask what the limit is for today?"

Li Yuan reached out and tapped her on the head with one finger. "This much should be enough for you."

Li Zixia pouted. "Bro, is it a thousand?"

Li Yuan smiled without a word.

Her eyes suddenly brightened. "Could it be ten thousand?"

Li Yuan still smiled and said nothing.

Li Zixia’s voice trembled with excitent. "My unbeatable, coolest, cutest, best bro in the world... is the limit a hundred thousand?"
