Chapter 20: Not holding me over the coals anymore?

"No matter how old she is, she's still Krystal, she has to call me Unnie."

"Yeah."

"You ask her if her Unnie is named Jessica, if it's me."

"Yes."

"Besides, I was born before her, if I'm not Unnie, what am I?"

"Okay."

Looking at Zheng Xiuyan in the passenger seat who was a bit worked up, Lin Xiuyuan laughed heartily, and with a bit of provocation, "But you can tell her these things yourself when you meet. Anyway, I think she wants you to call her Unnie more. I'll open a door for you two then, no charge, just consider it a ticket to watch the show."

"Get lost, if you're like this, I'm going to deduct from the money for your car later."

As the financier, as long as she didn't beg this guy to open the door for her, Zheng Xiuyan had the confidence to threaten him.

However, for Lin Xiuyuan, this wasn't much of a threat. "Doesn't matter, I think as long as it can get me around, it's fine. Honestly, after driving a few times on the '25 side, the ones here are no different from antique cars, so it's all the same what I drive."

Without even a center console screen, isn't it just an antique?

Zheng Xiuyan glanced at Lin Xiuyuan beside her. Although she was a bit depressed, she didn't feel unconvinced.

After all, after sitting in that new GLS and coming back, she also found her own car a bit unworthy of mention.

And after Lin Xiuyuan finished saying that, he continued, "Give me directions, I don't know where to buy a car."

"Just drive whatever for now, what brand do you like?"

Zheng Xiuyan asked back, only to hear 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, don't all guys like cars? You must have a brand you like."

Looking at Zheng Xiuyan's reaction to being angered, Lin Xiuyuan smiled. "I really don't like cars that much. Compared to driving, I prefer being a passenger. Driving is too tiring, and it's even more annoying when there's a traffic jam."

Zheng Xiuyan, hearing this answer, couldn't help but turn to look at the boy who could skillfully drive with one hand, feeling a bit emotional.

"Something's not right. In this regard, you really don't look like a 20-year-old boy. If it were other young boys, they would definitely like sports cars or performance cars, isn't driving fun?"

"Sports cars? Then if I really like them, can you really buy one for me?"

"What car?"

Faced with Zheng Xiuyan's question, Lin Xiuyuan turned his head and made a small joke. "Ferrari 458, the classic model, the bright red one, I really like that one."

He didn't expect Zheng Xiuyan's reaction to be beyond expectations. There was no shock, nor was there a look of heartache, but she looked at him seriously and said, "You really like it?"

"Huh?" Now it was Lin Xiuyuan's turn to be confused.

Zheng Xiuyan replied indifferently, "I said, if you really like it, it's not impossible to give it to you."

Although she didn't know exactly how much a 458 cost, no matter how expensive a car was, as long as it wasn't one of those limited-edition supercars, she could definitely afford it with her current net worth.

Seeing Zheng Xiuyan's serious little expression, Lin Xiuyuan, who had wanted to tease her a few more times, immediately shook his head and refused. "Forget it, you guys will definitely be sitting in the passenger seat most of the time. If the car is too flashy, I'll be targeted as soon as I go out."

"Then let's buy a Land Rover, how about that? It seems like a new Range Rover is coming out, the cabin is big enough, the view is comfortable, and the style is quite good too."

"Whatev..." Lin Xiuyuan, who had wanted to say 'whatever', hurriedly changed his words after noticing the woman's unfriendly gaze. "Okay, let's go with that one."

Once the car model was decided, the subsequent process was very simple.

Navigate to the Land Rover 4S store, head straight there, too lazy to even test drive, find a pleasant-looking salesperson, sit down, and ask them to bring out the Range Rover purchase contract to sign.

This outrageous move scared the salesperson, who hurriedly said, "Actually, there are some optional configurations for this new car, would you two like to take a look?"

"No need to choose, just go with the top-trim gasoline version, and for the color... which one do you like?"

Zheng Xiuyan, who was paying, handed over the right to choose the configurations to Lin Xiuyuan after finalizing the hardware aspects, leaving the salesperson stunned.

She carefully glanced at Lin Xiuyuan, recognized Zheng Xiuyan, and thought to herself that this guy wouldn't be a kept boy, would he?

Lin Xiuyuan looked at the promotional picture. "Then black exterior and red interior, it looks quite good."

"Yeah, let's go with that, sign the contract."

"Ah, oh oh oh, I see, you two wait a moment, I'll go get it now."

Ten-plus minutes later, the two who had signed the contract and paid the deposit returned to the car. The entire car-buying process took less than half an hour; this speed was truly beyond words.

Zheng Xiuyan, who had finalized the new car, looked at Lin Xiuyuan. "What are you going to do next?"

"Go back to '25 to scroll through videos and sleep."

Zheng Xiuyan, hearing this answer, was a bit frantic. "Hey, don't stay there all day, I can't find you if I want to, mobile signals can't travel through time."

"Otherwise I have nothing to do here. I go over to explore information and understand what happened in these few years, so I can tell you about it."

This made Zheng Xiuyan, who still wanted to say something, speechless upon hearing this reason.

After a while, she muttered, "Then when will you let me see?"

And she, who had only said it casually, received an answer that made her heart surge.

"See what? Oh, that future information, right? Hahaha, since we have basically confirmed our cooperative relationship now, you can see it whenever you want, I won't stop you."

Faced with Lin Xiuyuan's answer, Zheng Xiuyan really didn't expect that the permission she had been thinking about for days would be opened up so simply, which left her speechless for a moment.

Lin Xiuyuan, noticing Zheng Xiuyan was silent, turned his head and saw her staring straight at him, then smiled again. "I'm not lying to you, if you want, I can drive you back now, open the door and let you go over to see whatever you want, as long as you have time."

"Not holding me over the coals anymore?" Zheng Xiuyan squeezed out these words after a long silence.

"Holding you over the coals for a while counts as holding you over the coals, it's tiring to keep doing it, no need."

Zheng Xiuyan looked down at her phone and the two books beside her.

She took a deep breath and replied, suppressing her excitement, "Understood, then drive me to the company. You can drive this car until the new one arrives, to save you from taking Xiujing out to walk in the rain next time, it's too embarrassing."

"And you?"

"I have a team activity tomorrow and have to fly to Tokyo, I'll find you when I get back."

Lin Xiuyuan nodded, didn't exchange any pleasantries, stepped on the gas, left the 4S store, followed the navigation, and set off toward S. M Company.

Here, I will specifically answer two questions everyone is concerned about.

First is the specific update time: there's really no way, I have a job during the day, and it's already the limit to slack off and write one chapter, I can only write the second chapter after getting off work at night, and there's a second job even later, I'm really a beast of burden.

Then is the extra update: it's not convenient to add updates for now, because there are word count requirements during the new book period, if I add updates too urgently and blow up the word count, this book won't be able to enjoy the exposure traffic on the new book ranking, so I can only wait until after the launch to explode with updates.

Finally, I'll trouble everyone again to keep reading and comment more, the ranking has been dropping all day, it's quite bad, I hope you don't hoard the book, hoarding a book during the new book period will really cause trouble.

That's all, bowing in thanks!!!!
