Chapter 152: Chapter 131: Wake-up Service, Part 2
A new trending topic had appeared on Weibo about GY taking over the naming rights from L’Oreal. Although it only ranked in the thirties, it still generated a fair amount of traffic and sparked heated discussion.
After Xiao Xiao finished packing Gao Yuan’s luggage, she sat down beside him.
"Thank you."
Gao Yuan put down his phone, turned to hug Xiao Xiao, and said affectionately.
The two embraced and kissed again.
Around one o’clock, the two walked out of the Shanghai Tower, hand in hand.
Gao Yuan had now experienced a luxury hotel that cost 200,000 a night.
And he’d even won the affection of a great beauty.
As they settled into the car, Gao Yuan looked at Xiao Xiao’s thick down jacket and had a sudden thought. ’Why don’t we go for a walk and do some shopping?’
He could also buy her a new outfit while they were at it.
"Want to go shopping?"
"Okay, but you have to take me home first."
Xiao Xiao didn’t have anything else planned, and she was more than happy to go shopping with Gao Yuan. Especially after seeing the three articles of clothing in his suitcase, she wanted to pick out a few new outfits for him, too.
"Why don’t we just go shopping now?"
"No way!"
Xiao Xiao rejected him outright.
’I’m still wearing my pajamas underneath this, and I don’t even have a bra on. How am I supposed to go shopping like this?’
’Besides, after spending the night here, I have no makeup on and haven’t freshened up at all. I can’t go out shopping in this state.’
’Most importantly, I’m with Gao Yuan. I don’t want him to think I’m sloppy. I have to maintain a perfect image in his eyes.’
The Brabus G900 drove into Tangchen First-class. After parking in the underground garage, Xiao Xiao pulled Gao Yuan by the hand and headed toward her home.
The walk was a real eye-opener for Gao Yuan. The row of luxury cars—all sorts of sports cars, Rolls-Royces—could rival a small car show.
Xiao Xiao noticed the look in Gao Yuan’s eyes, but she just smiled without saying anything.
The two entered Xiao Xiao’s home.
It was as luxurious as ever.
Even more extravagant than her place in Hang City.
Although Gao Yuan couldn’t identify all the luxurious materials used in the decor, he recognized the sofa set in the living room—it was the same one as Dilraba’s.
That sofa set alone cost several hundred thousand.
After entering, Gao Yuan noticed there was no one home; Xiao Xiao’s daughter wasn’t there either.
"Don’t you and your daughter live together?"
"My dear Handsome Gao, what time is it?"
"Xiaoyu should be at her piano lesson today."
With that, Xiao Xiao went to put on her makeup and get ready, while Gao Yuan walked out onto the living room balcony.
He pressed a button on the window frame, and the upper pane slowly lowered, revealing a panoramic view of the Huangpu River.
Standing there, Gao Yuan suddenly felt he was beginning to understand the point of making money!
’Life is but a few short decades. How many people ever get to stand in this spot and take in such a view?’
’Owning a luxury mansion here would be a symbol of his success, an affirmation of his life’s work.’ This realization made Gao Yuan check his contentment with his current life.
「Half an hour later.」
Xiao Xiao reappeared before Gao Yuan.
She wasn’t like those young girls who needed an hour before going out, meticulously perfecting every little detail of their appearance.
In Gao Yuan’s view, that was all a sign of insecurity—needing external things to enhance one’s beauty.
But Xiao Xiao didn’t need any of that. Even with just a few skincare products, her beauty shone vividly from within.
Moreover, Xiao Xiao’s outfit today was very fashionable. It was less mature and sophisticated, and more youthful and vibrant.
Gao Yuan didn’t know that Xiao Xiao had deliberately dressed this way to look a little younger.
She hadn’t paid much attention to such things before, but after seeing how young and handsome Gao Yuan was, she subconsciously wanted them to look more like a well-matched pair.
"Shall we go?"
Xiao Xiao said, naturally linking her arm with Gao Yuan’s.
"Let’s go."
The two arrived at the underground garage.
Just as Gao Yuan was about to walk toward his Brabus G900, Xiao Xiao gently pulled him back.
Seeing the confused look in his eyes, Xiao Xiao smiled slightly and pointed to the row of cars. "Which one do you want to drive today?"
Gao Yuan followed her finger and saw a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, a Bentley Mulsanne, a Porsche 911, a Lamborghini Aventador, a McLaren P1, and a Bugatti. The Bugatti’s body was completely black, so Gao Yuan couldn’t tell if it was a Veyron or a Chiron.
Once again, Gao Yuan was floored by Xiao Xiao’s wealth.
’All these luxury cars... together, they must be worth at least a hundred million!’
Suddenly, he didn’t feel like starting a business anymore.
’To hell with starting a business!’
’In life, when you haven’t met a rich woman, you really do have to struggle and fight for everything.’
’But if you’ve met one and you’re still fighting? Then you’ve got a screw loose.’
Xiao Xiao was also very happy. Seeing Gao Yuan staring at the cars, she knew he liked them.
Especially when she saw him staring at the Bugatti, she said directly, "Let’s take this one."
The next moment, the Bugatti’s headlights lit up.
The all-black body and the sudden flash of the headlights immediately made Gao Yuan think of a black panther.
The resemblance was uncanny.
By this time, Xiao Xiao had already walked to the driver’s side, pulled open the door, and called out to Gao Yuan, "Come on!"
Gao Yuan slid into the driver’s seat, and Xiao Xiao sat in the passenger seat. But then, Gao Yuan suddenly realized he had never driven a supercar before, especially not a Bugatti. ’I don’t know how to drive this thing!’
This was getting awkward.
’Sitting in a luxury car but not knowing how to drive it, with a beautiful woman right next to me...’ Gao Yuan felt a bit embarrassed.
’If I scratch or dent a car this expensive, this shopping trip will be far too costly.’
