Five years without pregnancy means you're too weak; I remarried a powerful man and had triplets
Chapter 169 I was just kidding.
Upon hearing this, Shen Haozhi, who had just been secretly speculating about the relationship between the two, immediately brightened up: "Really?"
He had been eyeing this car for a long time, knowing that with his circumstances, it would be difficult for him to own one in his lifetime, but if he could have the chance to drive it for a couple of days and enjoy it, it would fulfill a wish.
Seeing the gleam in his eyes, Lu Zichuan smiled calmly: "Of course it's true. Brother, how about we add each other on WeChat? Once I'm done with work today, I'll have someone bring the car over. You can drive it as long as you want."
He took out his phone, opened WeChat, scanned the QR code, and handed it to Shen Haozhi.
Shen Haozhi's finger hovered over the screen for two seconds, his mind quickly weighing whether this was appropriate for Shen Zhiyi.
But when he caught a glimpse of the sleek Ferrari out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't resist the temptation and took out his phone to scan the QR code.
Shen Zhiyi stood aside, somewhat bewildered.
Wait, these two have only met twice, right? And they've already added each other on WeChat? Didn't she hear that Lu Zichuan's personal WeChat is very difficult to add?
"Brother, are you going out? Shall I give you a ride?"
Seeing the notification on WeChat that his friend had accepted, Lu Zichuan's lips curled slightly. He put his phone back in his pocket and casually asked...
Shen Haozhi was indeed tempted, but the cake shop was just across the street, only a few steps away, so there was no need to take a car.
He waved his hand: "No need, I'll go to the other side, you guys go ahead with your work."
After saying that, he turned to look at Shen Zhiyi, quickly winked a few times, his expression meaningful, as if to say, "Well, you said you were going home to edit the video, but where are you going on a date?", or as if to remind her to "be careful".
Shen Zhiyi was completely baffled by the meaning behind his eye contact before he turned and left.
Lu Zichuan walked around to the passenger side, opened the car door for her, and tilted his head slightly: "Let's go too."
As Shen Zhiyi sat in the car and fastened her seatbelt, something felt off.
A feeling of unease settled over me, as if I were being secretly plotted against, or like a little rabbit in the forest being targeted by a weasel deep in the grass.
But looking at Lu Zichuan's profile, his features were sharp and his eyes were gentle. He didn't look like a weasel at all.
I guess I'm overthinking it.
He has so many cars in his garage. He helps her once, and she helps him once. This time, it's just a matter of lending the car to his brother for two days. It's not a big deal.
Shen Zhiyi comforted herself in this way, leaned back in her seat, and looked out the window at the rapidly receding street scene.
The car smoothly merged into the traffic. Upon seeing this car, many people kept a safe distance from it, not daring to drive too close for fear of hitting it, nor too far for fear of missing out on the view.
Shen Zhiyi sat in the passenger seat, but she was restless and her eyes kept falling on Lu Zichuan, who was holding the steering wheel.
His hands gripped the steering wheel with distinct knuckles, and the sleeves of his pink shirt were rolled up to his forearms, giving him an air of calm and relaxed composure.
She hesitated for a long time before finally asking, "You...aren't you hard to add on WeChat?"
Lu Zichuan tapped his hand lightly on the steering wheel and turned to look at her: "Hmm? Who said that?"
Shen Zhiyi recalled that when she accompanied him to the banquet yesterday, several people wanted to add him on WeChat, but he refused them all. Moreover, Assistant Wang also said that he does not easily add people's contact information, and that if there is anything, he should contact the company's external social department directly.
"I saw it yesterday..." Shen Zhiyi said.
Lu Zichuan chuckled softly, the sound particularly deep and pleasant in the carriage: "Those are all people who want to talk business with me, so of course it's not so easy to add them."
"And this is my personal WeChat," he paused, looking straight ahead, his tone casual, "not many people on it."
Shen Zhiyi was stunned for a moment and didn't respond.
Not many people? But it didn't seem to be that difficult for her to add him back then...
"Also, you don't need to worry about the car," Lu Zichuan's voice rang out again, his tone relaxed. "I have plenty more in my garage; they're just sitting there unused anyway. If your brother likes it, he can take it and drive it for as long as he wants."
"Huh?" Shen Zhiyi was taken aback. "No need, he can drive it for two days. A car this expensive, our family can't afford to maintain it."
"Don't worry." Lu Zichuan held the steering wheel with one hand and casually rested the other on the car window. "Assistant Wang will come to pick up the car for maintenance on time, so there's no need to worry."
He paused, glanced at her sideways, and smiled slightly: "Consider it a return gift for accompanying me to the old house today."
This reason was impeccable, and Shen Zhiyi couldn't find the words to refuse.
She pursed her lips.
Forget it, her brother isn't the type to take advantage of others. He'll pay it back after he's had his fun for a couple of days.
Besides, she and Lu Zichuan were from completely different worlds. To him, that car was just one of the many luxury cars in his garage, but to her family, it was something they could never afford in their entire lives.
The two of them lived in completely different ways, and no matter how much she explained, he couldn't understand her concerns.
She turned her head to look out the window and suddenly realized that the road was going the wrong way; it wasn't the way to the mall.
"Where do we go now?"
"The place to get suits made." Lu Zichuan looked straight ahead, his tone calm. "I haven't been back to the old house in a long time, and this outfit is too casual. You can change into something with me."
"So grand?" Shen Zhiyi was startled. The little courage she had finally mustered that morning was now teetering on the brink of collapse.
Lu Zichuan seemed to sense her hesitation and chuckled softly, "Don't be nervous. It's just that it's my first time bringing my girlfriend home, and my family is a bit excited. Since it's your first time meeting them, dressing too casually might leave a bad impression."
He spoke casually, lightly omitting the word "girlfriend" as if it were in quotation marks, and added, "I've already given the designer the measurements, the clothes should be ready, we can change and go."
Shen Zhiyi's hands, resting on her knees, clenched unconsciously: "Today... there are a lot of people?"
Lu Zichuan roughly estimated: "Including collateral branches and various distant relatives, there are probably fifty or sixty people."
"What?!"
Shen Zhiyi thought it would be a simple meeting with his close relatives and a casual meal, but it turned out to be such a big deal.
She was utterly shocked and began to stammer, "So many people! I...I..."
Seeing her looking so alarmed, Lu Zichuan suddenly burst out laughing.
Unlike his usual slight smile, this time he laughed heartily, revealing his white teeth, and his pale eyes curved into crescents. He was genuinely amused.
He chuckled as he expertly turned the steering wheel, and the car smoothly veered into a quiet alley: "Just kidding."
Shen Zhiyi: "..."
"It's just my parents, grandparents, my brother and sister-in-law, and their two kids." Lu Zichuan's smile faded, his tone reassuring. "Even if the rest wanted to come, I wouldn't let them."
He silently added in his mind that these few were already enough for her to handle.
He was afraid that if there were a few more, he would scare away the girlfriends he had worked so hard to win over.
