But this car is indeed mine. Luo Chao awkwardly smiled and said, "Uncle, Aunt, don't they say it's better not to flaunt your wealth? So I've always adhered to this excellent tradition."
"Well said, well said," Cai Qiongying laughed heartily, her eyes sparkling with delight, just short of emitting golden light. What a fine golden catch!
At this mont, Yi Chao's heart was bleeding. The pretentiousness here was just too brutal, practically aiming to overwhelm. I could never afford a Bugatti Veyron even if I sold everything I had!
Too ruthless, Yi Chao wanted to cry, wishing he could find a secluded spot to have a good cry. Dad, your son can't even compete with others using you now, such a miserable defeat!
"Uncle, Aunt, I'll head off now," Yi Chao quietly wiped his tears, said dejectedly, then got into the car, driving away from this place that had shattered his confidence—and he would never return.
After seeing Yi Chao drive away, Luo Chao said with a smile, "It's already late, Uncle, Aunt, I'll head back now."
Cai Qiongying quickly said, "Old Zhang, it's a sports car that you couldn't afford in many lifetis, shouldn't you take a drive to feel the wind?"
A drive? Zhang Zhigang smacked his lips, tempted but wary of potential accidents, which he couldn't afford to pay for even in several lifetis. Smiling foolishly, he said, "Better not!"
"Hmm!" Cai Qiongying glared at Old Zhang, then winked at him! Slow to react, Zhang Zhigang finally understood his wife's intent, laughing heartily, "Right, right, right, Xiao Lu, would you mind if Uncle takes a drive?"
The elders had asked, so even though Luo Chao knew Cai Auntie's intention, he could only swallow his pride and agree, nodding, "It's fine, Uncle, feel free to drive, I bought comprehensive car insurance."
"Then great, Xiao Lu, thank you!"
"What are you saying, Uncle!" Luo Chao was on the verge of tears, fearing he might not return ho tonight. He glanced at Zhang Yufei, wondering why she hadn't spoken up—did she also want him to stay overnight?
Luo Chao watched Zhang Uncle drive off in the Bugatti Veyron, feeling icy cold inside, wondering if he'd end up abandoning the car and crying to go ho.
"Xiao Lu, look, it's so late, why not sleep at our place tonight," Cai Qiongying said with a cheerful smile.
Here it cos, as expected. Luo Chao hesitated for a mont before finally saying word by word, "Alright!"
anwhile, unbeknownst to Xiao Lu, Zhang Uncle had parked the car on the roadside outside the neighborhood. Being a novice driver with a recently acquired license, he was waiting for his wife's call to return ho, too afraid to drive the expensive car on the main road.
At Zhang Yufei's ho, Luo Chao experienced Cai Auntie's unique hospitality—she served him tea to rest, worried he'd tire climbing the stairs, brought him a new towel for a shower, and even prepared a new set of pajamas Zhang Uncle wouldn't bear to wear.
After his shower, Luo Chao directly went to Zhang Yufei's boudoir since the apartnt was two bedrooms and a living room, and he couldn't exactly sleep on the sofa.
At this mont, Zhang Yufei had already finished freshening up and was leaning against the bed playing on her phone. Luo Chao closed the door sighing deeply and sat on the edge of the bed: "Director Zhang, what's this scene you're pulling? Now my mum won't let leave."
Zhang Yufei furrowed her brows: "Who's forcing you to pull these little tricks, making Yi Chao, that bastard, strut like a big shot. I asked you to pretend to be my boyfriend just to chase these flies away."
"I've chased them all away, but now I'm stuck here!" Luo Chao said helplessly.
Zhang Yufei's cheeks blushed rosy, she snorted lightly, "Would I let you stay here?"
"Then I'm relieved," Luo Chao breathed a sigh of relief, yet this filled Zhang Yufei with shy anger—damn Luo Chao, am I not worthy of you?
Luo Chao then lay down, while Zhang Yufei placed her phone on the bedside table and turned off the light. It was her first ti sharing a bed with a man, and she couldn't help but feel her cheeks heating up.
"Why are you standing at the door, the kids' mom," Zhang Zhigang was back by this ti and noticed Cai Qiongying standing at their daughter's bedroom door. His head couldn't wrap around this and he loudly questioned.
Cai Qiongying nearly fainted from anger, glaring at him before putting a finger to her lips: "Shh!"
Zhang Zhigang realized what was happening—his face darkened, thinking how improper it was, totally motherhood unbecoming, she even went off to eavesdrop on their daughter.
But it's understandable—as of now, Luo Chao seed just too perfect, flawless in appearance and character, skilled in miraculous traditional Chinese dicine, and incredibly wealthy, driving a sports car worth over twenty million. Never having a boyfriend before, their daughter's first relationship is with such a perfect boyfriend, which certainly fuels her mom's suspicion.
Luo Chao rolled his eyes, and in the darkness, whispered, "Your mom is eavesdropping; seems she doesn't quite trust you."
"My mom is extrely suspicious; if she finds out you're a fake boyfriend, she certainly won't let off easily," Zhang Yufei said seriously.
Luo Chao said helplessly, "She'll find out sooner or later."
Zhang Yufei shot him a glance: "That's a problem for later; she can't find out now, so cover your ears!"
"Cover my ears?" Luo Chao asked, perplexed, "What are you planning to do?"
Zhang Yufei had an intimidating aura: "Are you covering or not!"
Seeing Director Zhang's stern face and formidable deanor, Luo Chao found it amusing, wondering what kind of mischief this dignified police chief intended to play now.
Outside the room, Cai Qiongying dragged the clueless Zhang Zhigang into their room, which was right next to Zhang Yufei's boudoir. Upon entering the room, Cai Qiongying testily ordered, "Sit on the bed and don't move!"
"What are you planning now? Can't you act your age?" Zhang Zhigang said, slapping his forehead heavily, feeling a headache—what's a grown-up doing eavesdropping on the young couple, feeling embarrassed.
Cai Qiongying righteously defended, "I'm doing this for our daughter's happiness, unlike you, who don't know where your priorities lie, never putting your mind on our daughter."
"I" Zhang Zhigang intended to argue but realized bickering with the children's mom was just asking for trouble; better to let her have her way.
Cai Qiongying approached the wall separating the two rooms and actually pressed her ear against it as if wishing to embed her head into the wall.
With fingers in his ears, Luo Chao's face had a wide grin as he looked at Zhang Yufei, whose face unknowingly started to blush. Her sensual red lips slowly parted, and then she let out a soft moan, the intoxicating whispering sound of "Hmm, hmm!"
