Chapter 423: Chapter 209: Purchasing and Buying a Car
And so, the conversation between the three men grew more and more animated. After the food arrived, they even exchanged a round of compliments.
Meanwhile, the conversation between best friends Zhao Jianing and Qin Yuenan was a bit more juicy.
"So, how are things going with Lin Shen lately?" Zhao Jianing asked with a grin, looking at Qin Yuenan.
"You look great, absolutely glowing. You and Lin Shen must be doing it a lot recently, huh?"
"We just did it once a few days ago in Dai City."
Qin Yuenan was past the sensitive stage where she’d get shy discussing such things. Her expression was calm, as if she were talking about something perfectly ordinary.
"I’ve been busy with work recently, so I haven’t seen Lin Shen much. Besides, it’s not like you have to do that kind of thing every day."
"Oh, is that so? Then why do I detect a hint of resentment in your tone...?"
Zhao Jianing chuckled slyly.
"Did you wear that ’battle robe’ I recommended last time? How’d it go?"
"I wore it. As for the effect..."
Qin Yuenan snuck a glance at Lin Shen, who was deep in conversation with Lorenzo and Mateo, then mumbled under her breath.
"It was just okay, I guess."
"What do you mean, ’just okay’? I don’t believe for a second that Lin Shen wouldn’t like how you look in a battle robe!"
Zhao Jianing pouted, then a wicked grin spread across her face.
"How about I recommend a few more for you? These are from my private, treasured collection. I don’t just show them to anyone."
"..."
Qin Yuenan silently ate a few bites of food, thought for a moment, and then asked in a low voice.
"What kind of styles?"
"Here."
Zhao Jianing immediately opened Xiaohongshu and Douyin, showing Qin Yuenan the "mysterious" shops she had saved.
She took a casual glance, but her beautiful eyes suddenly flew wide open. Her usually calm expression turned to one of embarrassed anger, and her pretty face flushed slightly red.
"What kind of clothes are these?! They look so indecent!"
"Duh! If they were decent clothes, would they be called ’battle robes’?"
Zhao Jianing rolled her eyes at Qin Yuenan before teasing her.
"These are basically a type of cosplay outfit. Look, this bunny girl one and the Spider-Woman one, aren’t they hot? And there’s a policewoman and a flight attendant..."
"They’re hideous!"
Qin Yuenan’s face was full of disgust. After imagining herself in those strange outfits, her cheeks burned as if on fire.
Just then, Lin Shen happened to lean over and ask curiously.
"What are you two talking about?"
"None of your business!"
Startled, Qin Yuenan slapped her left hand over Zhao Jianing’s phone screen and used her right to push Lin Shen’s face away, her expression a mix of extreme embarrassment and annoyance.
"Go talk about your cars!"
"We’re done talking."
Lin Shen chuckled, waving his phone.
"I’ve already paid in full."
Huh?
Qin Yuenan froze. She stared intently and saw a text message on Lin Shen’s phone screen from Construction Bank, showing an expense of 6.8 million.
This left her a bit stunned.
"You already bought the car?"
"Yep."
Lin Shen’s voice was tinged with excitement.
"It was a crazy coincidence. Mateo had just imported a Ferrari SF90 Spider convertible from overseas. It had all the top-spec options. It was originally meant to be a show car, but I snagged it."
’Snagged it?’
That was something Qin Yuenan hadn’t expected.
’After all, cars at auto shows are usually not for sale. You guys talked for less than half an hour and you just bought it?’
"I guess I’m just a good talker."
Lin Shen said with a grin, but seeing Qin Yuenan’s disbelieving look, he revealed the real reason.
"I’ve collaborated with Ferrari overseas before. When they saw I also had a racing license, they immediately invited me to join their racing club and then let me have the car."
"..."
Lin Shen’s casual remark left Qin Yuenan completely astonished.
’A collaboration with Ferrari overseas?’
’A racing license?’
’Since when did Lin Shen have this other side to him?’
