Qin Er sat down and sliced the toast. “Come with me to a place in a bit.”
Chen Zhao: “Where to?”
Qin Er: “You’ll know when we get there.”
“Oh.” Chen Zhao opened his phone, scrolling through Douyin while eating.
A hand reached over from in front of him and snatched his phone away. Chen Zhao looked up, and Qin Er said. “Playing on your phone while eating causes a portion of the blood to flow to the brain, which is bad for gastrointestinal digestion.”
Chen Zhao felt completely baffled by these words.
“So, stop looking at your phone,” Qin Er said. “Eat properly.”
Qin Er really came here to act as his dad, didn’t he? Chen Zhao thought.
Whatever, he’d just coax this old man along.
“Got it, I’ll listen to everything Brother says.”
After finishing breakfast, they tidied up and prepared to leave. Chen Zhao followed Qin Er down to the underground parking garage, finding Qin Er’s spot among the dense cluster of parking spaces.
This Audi was Qin Er’s ride. Chen Zhao got inside and asked, “Brother, are we going to the mall?”
Qin Er: “No.”
Chen Zhao found it strange. Where on earth was Qin Er taking him?
He got into the passenger seat suspiciously and buckled his seatbelt.
Qin Er: “Ready?”
Chen Zhao nodded.
Qin Er stepped on the gas, and the car started up smoothly, driving out of the garage and onto the wide main road.
An hour later, they arrived at the suburbs, inside a villa residential district. The car took a few turns and arrived in front of a villa. Qin Er pulled out a remote button, pressed it, and the gate opened.
Looking at Chen Zhao’s questioning eyes, Qin Er said, “This is my house.”
So this was a house Qin Er had bought!
He knew it! If Qin Er could afford luxury goods, how could he not have the money to buy a house! Otherwise, his years of being a doctor would have been in vain!
Their car drove into the garage, and Chen Zhao was surprised to find several cars parked inside.
Parked in the garage were actually a Porsche and a Rolls Royce.
Chen Zhao was stunned.
Just how much was Qin Er’s salary?!
“Pick one.” Qin Er shoved his hands into his pockets and said to him.
Chen Zhao pointed at himself. “Me?”
Qin Er: “Is there anyone else here?”
Chen Zhao looked at those luxury cars, marveling that such a thing could actually happen to him. It was truly impossible to choose, so he started picking at random. “Eeny, meeny, miny, moe…”
He pointed at a Porsche Panamera. Qin Er took out a car key from his bag and handed it to him.
???
Chen Zhao was surprised. “For me to drive?”
Qin Er nodded.
Chen Zhao felt as if a pie had fallen from the sky right onto him. He reached out to take it. “Thank you, Brother.”
“Do you have a driver’s license?”
“Huh?”
Qin Er pulled his hand back. Chen Zhao grabbed empty air. Qin Er smiled. “I’ll let you drive it once you get your license.”
Chen Zhao wanted to cry without tears. His Porsche!
Qin Er: “Want to go up and sit inside?”
“Can I? Sure, sure!”
Qin Er opened the door. Chen Zhao gathered his skirt hem, popped his rear out, and sat carefully onto the leather seat.
“Wow, it’s so soft,” Chen Zhao said. “Really comfortable.”
Qin Er opened the roof, and the car instantly turned into a convertible. Chen Zhao’s eyes broadened. “Wow!”
He said “wow” several times in a row, and the corners of Qin Er’s lips hooked up.
“Brother, am I the first woman to sit in this car?” After marveling, Chen Zhao rolled his eyes and asked him.
Qin Er asked back. “What do you think?”
Chen Zhao hummed. “Let me guess… the second? The fourth? Or the fifth, sixth, seventh, or eighth?”
Qin Er let out a faint smirk, reaching over to rub his head gently. “Only you.”
“Then what about the other cars?”
“None.”
A man’s mouth is a deceiving ghost, Chen Zhao sneered in his heart.
Qin Er looked down at Chen Zhao from above.
The burgundy interior, the white long legs, the striking contrast stirred a restless wave in one’s heart.
He really wanted to leave the most vivid color on her body.
Compared to laughter, he preferred crying.
Those fragile, fearful, and pleading sounds, he wanted to hear all of them from the girl’s mouth.
Chen Zhao sat happily for a while. Seeing Qin Er’s dark, heavy gaze, he felt a bit strange, not knowing what was wrong with Qin Er.
“Brother, are we driving out?” Chen Zhao couldn’t wait to take the Porsche out for a joyride.
Qin Er let out a soft laugh, got in, and sat down. “Where do you want to go?”
Chen Zhao: “To the CBD!”
The Porsche sped out like the wind.
Along the way, Chen Zhao felt the wind blowing against his face, whipping his hair up into the air. He opened his mouth, letting the wind flow through, feeling extraordinarily refreshed.
“Woohoo!” Chen Zhao opened his arms. “I’m the king of the world!”
Qin Er looked at the person beside him, feeling as if his own life was quietly blossoming as well.
“It’s speeding up, Jack.”
“I’m ready, Rose!” Chen Zhao laughed.
Qin Er stepped on the gas and accelerated, the Porsche flew across the river crossing bridge.
They finally arrived at the CBD. As the car drove past the Chanel boutique, Chen Zhao’s eyes were drawn to it. “Stop for a moment!”
Qin Er found a parking spot and got out with him, walking into the store together.
With a single glance, Chen Zhao spotted Lili’s bag on the central display stand.
A few days ago, he had shown off a bag on WeChat Moments, and the very next day Lili showed off an even more expensive one, competing with him in secret.
That bag, he had privately checked the price, was around forty thousand yuan. Chen Zhao was determined to outdo Lili. He pointed to the forty-five thousand yuan one next to it, black leather, with a golden sphere on the chain strap.
He adopted a high-pitched, delicate voice and said to Qin Er. “Brother, I want to buy this one~”
The voice was so cloying that it made the salesperson shiver.
Yet Qin Er enjoyed it very much. “Mm, we’ll take this one. Anything else?”
Chen Zhao shook his head. “No more. I’m afraid of spending too much of Brother’s money, just one bag is enough.”
Qin Er gave him a deep look and told the salesperson. “Wrap up the entire series.” He then picked out several perfumes and lipsticks for Chen Zhao.
The store clerk served them with delight. Chen Zhao covered his mouth in overwhelmed surprise. “Brother, is this really okay? Won’t it waste too much money?”
“I have money,” Qin Er said. “No need to save.”
Chen Zhao was moved to tears of gratitude, watching Qin Er pull out his bank card while saying “no need, no need” with his mouth as he accepted the bags with his hands.
Returning to the Porsche, Chen Zhao’s state of mind was completely different.
He now felt that he was the coolest guy on the entire street, forget a Porsche, he could afford to sit in a Rolls Royce Phantom if he wanted to.
“Brother, what are we doing next?”
“Walk around some more.”
“Great, great!”
Chen Zhao leaned back comfortably in the passenger seat, enjoying the wind kicked up by passing traffic and the envious looks of passersby.
After shopping for the day, buying several Hermes bags as well as skincare products, Chen Zhao was exhausted yet happy.
In order to buy the Hermes bags, Qin Er had bought millions in extra items to meet the store quota. Chen Zhao smiled wickedly on the side.
Old man, bleeding heavy cash now, aren’t you!
On the way back, as they sat in the Porsche, Chen Zhao looked at the road conditions and felt that the route back wasn’t quite right.
“Brother, aren’t we going back to Binjiang Garden?”
“Not going back.” Qin Er looked ahead, his phoenix eyes indifferent. “From now on, I’ll take you to live in the villa. How about it?”
“Really? I can live in that villa?” Chen Zhao was pleasantly surprised.
Qin Er: “Mhm.”
Chen Zhao was thrilled. He had always felt that the apartment in Binjiang Garden was too small, but he was unwilling to go home because Wang Lan and Chen Huanyu were there.
Now it was great. Qin Er was giving him such a huge villa to live in, no need to worry about having no place to put his clothes anymore.
“Ahem.” Chen Zhao straightened his back, testing the waters. “Before me, no one else has lived in Brother’s villa, right?”
“Why do you keep asking things like this today?”
The Porsche pulled over to the side and stopped. Qin Er leaned against the seatback, looking at him sideways.
Chen Zhao tossed the stray hair behind his ear when his chin was suddenly pinched by the man.
“No lying.” The phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
The man had a powerful aura. Chen Zhao’s heart instantly tightened as he stammered, “W-What do you think?”
“Inquiring about my relationship history?” Qin Er’s eyes landed on his lips. “Why?”
Oh no, why did Qin Er suddenly act like this? Those eyes seemed as if they could see right through him.
Chen Zhao’s mind went blank, rapidly trying to think of a reasonable excuse. Just as Qin Er’s patience was running out, he blurted out quickly. “Because I like Brother.”
