Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Poverty Limits Imagination

In the afternoon, Leilei let Wang Xiaoya leave work early.

Usually, she and Wang Xiaoya were the ones to take inventory and close the shop.

But today was a special circumstance, so of course she had to take care of the boss.

After changing into a skirt in the shop’s rest area, Wang Xiaoya came out, waved goodbye to everyone, and left.

The employees, full of jealousy, thought to themselves that they must report Leilei to the boss at the first opportunity.

They intended to accuse her of mixing personal matters with business, allowing her friend to mess around in the shop.

Outside on the street, people were coming and going.

This was the busiest time, when young men and women got off work and all went out to stroll the streets.

Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya entered a fast-food restaurant and ordered a two-person hamburger meal to share.

Wang Xiaoya loved sundae, and Long Fei instantly ordered ten portions, asking the waiter to bring two out first.

Strawberry, chocolate, blueberry - they mixed it up with different flavors.

Wang Xiaoya was almost depressed to death; ever since this guy had money, he spent it without even blinking an eye.

She would end up in the hospital if she actually ate ten sundaes!

Long Fei chuckled at her and said, "Stretch out your hand, I have a gift for you!"

"Another gift?"

A bouquet of roses had kept Wang Xiaoya happy for half the day, and just keeping them in the shop, she could gaze at them all day long.

Sometimes watering them, sometimes pruning them a little.

She hadn’t expected another surprise.

She stretched out her hand and asked him, "What is it?"

Long Fei responded mysteriously, "Close your eyes."

Wang Xiaoya smiles and closed her eyes, warning him, "There are a lot of people here, don’t you do anything rash, okay?"

She thought Long Fei might kiss her, which would have been a bit too cliché.

However, Long Fei grabbed her hand and slipped something cool on her wrist.

She couldn’t help but open her eyes and stared at her wrist.

It was a jade bracelet, with a misty hue that somehow gave a relaxing feeling when worn on the wrist.

Jade locks in spiritual energy, which only seeps out slowly when it comes into contact with skin.

She lifted her wrist, looking at it excitedly.

Although she didn’t know much about jade, a touch was enough to tell that the material was extraordinary and undoubtedly very expensive.

She asked Long Fei, "How much did this cost?"

Long Fei laughed, "Why bring up money, it’s so crass!"

Wang Xiaoya scolded him, "Look at you, being so extravagant; you’ll waste all your money no matter how much you have. If it’s too expensive, I dare not wear it!"

As she spoke, she was about to take the jade bracelet off.

Long Fei hurriedly lied to her, "Don’t. It’s just an ordinary piece of jade, it only cost a bit over a hundred."

"Really?"

Wang Xiaoya didn’t believe him.

Long Fei inflated the price a bit, "A few thousand, okay?"

"That expensive?"

Wang Xiaoya’s eyes widened, thinking to herself that a few thousand would cover her living expenses for a whole month.

Long Fei was inwardly thrilled; if he told Wang Xiaoya that the jade bracelet was worth over a hundred thousand, she’d probably be scared to death.

He scooped up some ice cream with a spoon and fed Wang Xiaoya a mouthful, then said to her, "You remember Xu Dong, right?"

Wang Xiaoya nodded, "Of course I remember, your little brother, huh!"

Long Fei smiled and said, "It seems he is also getting married soon, and he is buying a house with Caicai. Haven’t you always wanted a house? I want to buy one for us too. When the time comes, we can bring your parents over to enjoy a good life."

Wang Xiaoya knew Long Fei was wealthy, but she didn’t want to take advantage of him and remained silent.

Long Fei reassured, "You don’t have to feel embarrassed. The money I made is mine, not from the Lin Family’s shares. Besides, with property prices soaring and money continually depreciating, buying a house is a good investment and a way to preserve value."

Wang Xiaoya was swayed by his persuasion and said somewhat tempted, "Then what kind of house are you planning to buy?"

Long Fei replied, "How about a villa? You like the villas on Dongyang Mountain, right? Let’s get one there. Facing the sea, with a nice environment."

Wang Xiaoya choked on her drink and stared at Long Fei, taken aback and struggling to keep up with the conversation, "Don’t scare me, those villas cost at least tens of millions. What have you done to earn so much money?"

Long Fei lied to her, "Last time I went to treat someone’s illness, that family was very rich but had a strange disease. I cured them, and they gave me tens of millions. If you don’t believe it, I can get you in touch with them to ask."

"Just for treating an illness, they gave you tens of millions?"

It wasn’t that Wang Xiaoya didn’t believe him; it was that poverty limited her imagination.

Long Fei kept fibbing, "They are wealthy, and to them, tens of millions is just a small amount. Have you heard of the old general from our Binhai City? It’s their family; they don’t lack money at all."

Wang Xiaoya had vaguely heard about this and knew a little.

The last time Long Fei was in trouble, Lin Yingying seemed to have contacted that old general to speak for Long Fei.

She just had not expected that they gave Long Fei so much money.

Long Fei asked her, "Do you have any concerns now?"

Since it wasn’t the Lin Family’s money, Wang Xiaoya could barely rationalize it.

After thinking it over, she said, "Well, in that case, after buying the house, we’ll put it in your name. I can’t take advantage of you anyway."

Long Fei nodded, "No problem, whatever you say goes."

Wang Xiaoya said, "The villas on Dongyang Mountain are nice but they are a bit far from the city center. Commuting to and from work every day would take at least two hours by bus, right?"

Long Fei laughed, "That’s an easy fix. You get a driver’s license, and I’ll buy you a car. Driving every day, it would be at most about an hour."

Recently, Leilei got an Audi A6, and truth be told, it would be a lie to say Wang Xiaoya wasn’t envious.

Any woman, unless they are out of their mind, would prefer not to squeeze into a bus every day.

She took a sip of Coke and pursed her lips, "If only I had Leilei’s luck. The new boss is really generous, gifting her an Audi right off the bat. I heard from everyone that this car was the former boss’s and is worth around five or six hundred thousand!"

Long Fei said with a smile, "Isn’t your luck good too? If you like it, I’ll also get you one."

Wang Xiaoya shook her head, "Forget it, that car is too expensive, and it’s too worrisome to drive around. If it gets scratched or dented, it would be so heartbreaking!"

Long Fei said, "Don’t worry about that now. Later on, let’s sign up at a driving school; we’ll talk after you get your license."

Wang Xiaoya smiled, revealing two dimples, "Alright, whatever you say. I might as well enjoy other women spending your money if I don’t; I’ll try out the feeling of being a rich lady."

"That’s the spirit!"

Long Fei breathed a sigh of relief; he was worried about her refusal.

He fed Wang Xiaoya a spoonful of ice cream, extending the spoon to her mouth. As she closed her lips, her tongue licked the spoon.

The way she ate ice cream was downright sexy and made one swallow hard.

In front of Wang Xiaoya, Long Fei couldn’t help but have inappropriate thoughts.

He chastised himself, and after dining with Wang Xiaoya, they found a driving school and registered her for an all-inclusive package.

It cost over eight thousand yuan, with a two-month guarantee to get the license, including the cost for any necessary retests.

If she failed, the driving school would cover the retest fees.

Seeing how Long Fei spent money, Wang Xiaoya truly felt that she was drifting further away from him.

If she continued to avoid, she would eventually lose him forever.

After they were done, the two returned to Wang Xiaoya’s rented home, and by then it was completely dark outside.

Long Fei led Wang Xiaoya upstairs, and just as they reached the door, their gazes locked onto each other’s, their eyes beginning to burn with passion.
