Xu Su was slightly surprised. Suddenly, she raised her left wrist, pointed to the mechanical watch he had given her, and said directly, "Now I know that watches of this brand start at least in the seven figures. The one you gave me seems to be a custom model. But what did you say before? That it only costs around 100,000?"

"Why are you so insistent on the price? I'm just worried that you won't accept it once you know the exact amount."

Shen Chen, unaware of her experiences of living two lives, assumed she had specifically looked up the price and said with a somewhat helpless expression, "I just thought that since you're about to go to university, it's time for you to wear a decent watch."

Giving such an expensive gift would normally make the recipient afraid they wouldn't know, but he went to great lengths to conceal it, as if he was afraid Xu Su wouldn't accept it if she knew the price.

They really paid the money and didn't expect a single good word...

This is not normal at all!

Xu Su pondered for a while, then suddenly called out his name, "I've noticed that you're really good to me. They say there's no such thing as a free lunch, so is there something you need my help with?"

Xu Su felt guilty as she spoke... What kind of help could Young Master Shen possibly need from her?

Shen Chen was amused by her words and burst out laughing. "Don't worry, don't act like a corrupt official who's taken bribes, looking all scared."

Finally, I couldn't resist patting the top of her head and teasing her, "Is a watch and a car all you care about? A girl like you should have higher standards, okay? These things are nothing."

How could he tell her that the time he wasted spending every day sitting here with her practicing driving was the real 'good' thing?

Xu Su felt a little embarrassed by what he said. In her previous life, she was at least a worldly 'Mrs. Zhou' who had seen the world, so how did she end up being told that she had low standards...?

"Anyway, the first car registered under your name has to be a gift from me," Shen Chen changed the subject. "Since you don't have any preference for the color, I'll choose it for you myself."

They've made up their minds to arrange a car for her.

Xu Su thought for a moment, then stopped being polite and said, "I don't want black. Black cars are too manly, I don't like them."

"Okay, you don't want black, right?"

Shen Chen tilted his head and smiled at her: "Just wait, I'll order you a limited edition one, reinforce the whole car, and guarantee your safety in the city. Otherwise, with your driving skills, I really wouldn't feel at ease."

“…No, you’re clearly trying to be helpful, so why do you always have to use that sarcastic tone?” Xu Su couldn’t help but glance at him sideways. “Is my technique that bad?”

Shen Chen looked like he had said something wrong and quickly said, "Not bad, really not bad, but there's still a lot of room for improvement. But I believe you'll surpass me sooner or later."

Xu Su: "..."

Dramatic!

He's a professional racer, how could she possibly surpass him?

However, Xu Su found that she was actually quite comfortable when she was with Shen Chen, and she said whatever came to mind, just like she did in front of Huang Feng and Qian Jia.

They don't seem to have a four-year age difference; they look like they're the same age.

Perhaps it's because Shen Chen has a good temper. Several times he was so angry that he said he would strangle her, but the next day he would come back to her with the same words. His temper is unbelievably good.

…………

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

Huang Feng and Qian Jia's flight arrived in the afternoon, and Zhou Mochen specially came back from the company at noon to pick up Xu Su and have a meal together.

Xu Su was driving today, and this was the first time Zhou Mochen had sat in the passenger seat.

Seeing his girlfriend's still-awkward driving skills, Zhou Mochen watched quietly, gently reminding her when she occasionally made a small mistake.

For novice drivers, the sense of security provided by having someone sit in the passenger seat is self-evident.

Not to mention, this person was Zhou Mochen, whom she subconsciously trusted very much.

After lunch, Zhou Mochen calculated the time. "We can still make it to the airport in an hour. Su Su, is there anywhere in Beijing you'd like to go? We can go for a walk now."

Xu Su shook her head: "I can't think of anything."

"There's a newly opened shopping mall nearby, wanna go check it out?"

He knows about the newly opened shopping mall nearby, which means that even if the mall isn't owned by the Zhou family, it's probably closely related to them.

Xu Su doesn't really like shopping. Wearing a mask in the summer is very stuffy, but if she doesn't wear a mask, there are too many subtle gazes following her, making it impossible to shop properly.

But Zhou Mochen already said that…

She thought for a moment and said, "Let's go for a walk..."

This is a good opportunity to see if we can pick out a suitable gift for Huang Feng and Qian Jia as a coming-of-age ceremony.

They are all a year younger than Xu Su, and are eighteen this year.

As you approach the age of entering university, what do you lack most?

Xu Su had never lacked anything materially in either of her two lives after she became an adult, and had never felt a strong desire to own anything. After walking around the mall, she really couldn't find a gift.

The only option was to ask Zhou Mochen, who was standing next to him.

But this young master, who had been pampered since childhood, had never put any effort into choosing gifts for Xu Su, and knew nothing about other girls.

Unable to rely on her boyfriend, Xu Su thought about it seriously for a long time and decided to arrange a laptop for each of her two good friends.

As college students, no matter what, we still need to have a computer.

Xu Su doesn't know if Huang Feng bought a new computer, but Qian Jia most likely doesn't have one.

This girl, like her, came from a rural area and was admitted to Changshi High School. Although her family didn't discriminate against girls, their financial situation was such that they could barely afford the tuition. As for living expenses, Qian Jia had to work summer jobs to supplement her income.

With that thought, Xu Su waved his hand and said, "Both laptops cost 20,000 yuan. If you're going to buy something, buy the best!"

She felt perfectly justified in spending Zhou Mochen's money.

Seeing Xu Su take out the card he had given her and pay with an extremely natural expression, Zhou Mochen, who was standing next to her, slowly smiled.

He was genuinely happy; he liked their close-knit, inseparable lifestyle.

After packing the two laptops, Xu Su handed them to Zhou Mochen to carry, and then got into the driver's seat.

On the way to the airport, Xu Su specifically told Zhou Mochen not to talk to her, so as not to distract her.

Then I turned on the navigation and followed the electronic voice guidance, driving onto an elevated highway for the first time.

The dense traffic was truly terrifying.

The surrounding cars were all moving very fast, and Xu Su couldn't help but feel a little flustered. A thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. Seeing this, Zhou Mochen couldn't help but offer a few words of comfort.

Xu Su didn't pay any attention to him, focusing on operating the steering wheel, meticulously obeying traffic regulations, and driving according to the navigation instructions.

The journey was uneventful, and we arrived at the airport entrance without any incidents.

Only after Xu Su parked the car did Zhou Mochen dare to speak.

He smiled and took the girl's hand in the driver's seat, praising her: "Our Susu is great. Although she is still a little inexperienced, she drives very well overall. She can also react quickly and make judgments in some unexpected situations."
