CHAPTER 137: CHAPTER 137: BOSS, A CAPPUCCINO PLEASE

Xia Liang couldn’t help but frown.

"Alright, stop dithering. Just pick one."

"Uh, okay then."

Luu Qi seemed somewhat reluctant to choose, which was enough to make the surrounding onlookers green with envy.

"So lucky! If only someone would gift me a car with a price in the tens of millions."

"Dream on. Take a look at yourself. Are you even half as beautiful as her?"

"Hey! This is a first for me."

"Yeah! A girl is actually complaining that the gift a guy got her is too expensive."

"It must be nice to be rich..."

Amidst the crowd’s chatter, Luu Qi finally chose the Koenigsegg Gemera. The reason was simple: it was a bit cheaper, so it would be less heartbreaking if it got damaged.

Xia Liang didn’t say much, just nodded.

"Get in. I’ll take you for a test drive."

"Okay."

Luu Qi readily agreed.

With his God-level Driving skill, the task was second nature to Xia Liang. He effortlessly taught Luu Qi what made a sports car different.

After a little while, they swapped seats, and it was Luu Qi’s turn to drive. Finally overcoming her nervousness, she took the car for a lap and returned to their starting point.

As soon as she got out, Luu Qi ran over excitedly.

"Hahaha! I love it! It’s so cool! I love you so much!" she exclaimed, jumping onto Xia Liang and clinging to him.

Her lips headed straight for his.

SMACK. SMACK. SMACK.

From his mouth to his face, she quickly planted more than a dozen kisses, leaving the onlookers watching with envy.

But Xia Liang couldn’t take it anymore. He patted her bottom and said irritably, "Get down."

"Hehe!"

Riding the wave of excitement, she attacked him with another dozen kisses.

Finally satisfied, Luu Qi stopped being coy and slid off him. She dangled the car keys from her finger. "Well, I’m off! I’m going to pick up Sister Yiqian later. By the way, are you coming back for dinner tonight?"

Xia Liang stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and ultimately shook his head. "No, I have things to do tonight."

After all, he hadn’t contacted Qingxue for two days. That tsundere girl was probably still angry.

Seeing his expression, Luu Qi didn’t press the matter. "Alright. I’m leaving then."

With that, she closed the car door, started the engine, and sped away.

Xia Liang was quite satisfied with having offloaded one car. Just as he was wondering how much longer it would take for Zhou Ruo to arrive, he saw her walking over from a distance.

Although she hadn’t seen him when she first got out of her own car, she knew he had driven out in a supercar—that Lamborghini Poison was a showstopper wherever it went. So, noticing the crowd gathered here, she headed over and, sure enough, spotted Xia Liang.

"Sweetheart~" Zhou Ruo’s sweet, coquettish voice rang out, making everyone look up.

"What the heck?"

"I knew I was forgetting something!"

"Damn, here comes another one!"

"Scumbag!"

Only then did the group of bystanders recall that this was the third different woman to appear by Xia Liang’s side.

Is this woman also his girlfriend?

For a moment, many of the men present were overcome with jealousy. First, a loli had left, then a lively, cheerful girl, and now a mature, sophisticated woman had arrived. The crucial part was that all three were stunningly beautiful, each one more gorgeous than a movie star.

This guy! Isn’t he worried about his whole world crashing and burning?

The thought that Zhou Ruo could have run into Luu Qi if she had arrived just a few minutes earlier made the crowd break out in a cold sweat for Xia Liang.

Of course, many also sighed in dismay.

"So this is how our goddesses are in the eyes of others?"

They all spoke in hushed whispers, almost inaudible. But that was hardly surprising. If the woman overheard them and they accidentally exposed Xia Liang, who knew what would happen. Adhering to the principle of not looking for trouble, most of them just kept their thoughts to themselves.

They had just seen it yesterday: after a passionate kiss, Xia Liang had handed the keys to the Lamborghini Poison to Zhou Ruo.

"Help me drive this one back."

"Mhm, of course, my dear."

Zhou Ruo, now a woman of considerable means herself, naturally didn’t show any of the timidity Luu Qi had. She took the keys from Xia Liang and gave him a wave. "I’m off, my dear."

She blew a kiss at him before driving away.

With all three cars taken care of, Xia Liang breathed a sigh of relief. He unlocked the Aston Martin with its keys, got in, and sped off.

Watching Xia Liang leave, the previously silent onlookers finally started to grumble.

"Tch! What a scumbag!"

"So what if he’s rich and handsome?"

"It’s enough to make you sick with envy!"

"What’s wrong with being a scumbag? If a guy gave me a luxury car, I’d let him be a scumbag to me too."

「Four hours later.」

「Yunni Cafe.」

Having gotten the license plates registered, Xia Liang parked the car outside.

「At the front desk.」

Qingxue was resting her chin on her hands, staring into space.

Xia Liang tiptoed over to her. "Boss, one Cappuccino, please~"

"Huh?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Qingxue’s eyes suddenly lit up. The joy on her face was undeniable, but she quickly suppressed it, her voice tinged with tsundere petulance. "What are you doing here?"

It was clear she was holding a grudge against him for not messaging her for two days.

Xia Liang smiled. "I came to see you as soon as I finished my business, didn’t I?"

Hearing this, Qingxue rolled her eyes at him. "Hmph. About time you showed some sense."

Although she didn’t hear the words "I missed you," Qingxue was still very happy. After all, Xia Liang had said he’d come looking for her the moment he was free.

Still, a hint of pique remained in her voice. "What do you want?"

"To take you to dinner," Xia Liang said, raising an eyebrow.

Only then did Qingxue give her tsundere-style agreement. "Fine. Since you’ve invited me with such sincerity, I suppose I can reluctantly accept."

She walked out from behind the counter.

Although Xia Liang really wanted to say, ’There’s nothing reluctant about it,’ he thought better of it and held his tongue.

When they got outside, Qingxue didn’t see his car and asked curiously, "Didn’t you drive?"

"I did." Xia Liang pulled out the Aston Martin’s keys.

Seeing that the key in his hand was different from the previous two, Qingxue blinked. "You got another new car?"

"Yep."

Xia Liang pressed the fob, and the lights on the distant Aston Martin flashed.

As she got into the sleek car, Qingxue couldn’t help but roll her eyes again. "This car looks amazing. You must have spent a fortune on it, right?"

"It was alright. Just forty-five Yuan."

"What?" Qingxue’s eyes went wide.

She had figured that since he already owned one expensive car, this one couldn’t have cost more than ten Yuan or so. But after not seeing him for two days, he had gone and gotten another car worth forty-five Yuan. And he said it so nonchalantly.

This was just...

Shaking her head, Qingxue was at a loss for words.

The two of them spent the evening having dinner and watching a movie. It wasn’t until ten o’clock at night that Xia Liang finally drove her home.
