With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

The saleswoman happened to return with the order contract and was immediately frozen in place by Gu Yunzhou's words.

Not knowing what had happened, she stood helplessly at the door, unsure whether to go in or back.

Gu Lianxing snorted coldly and turned her head away indifferently.

Shen Ci watched the two bickering childishly and slowly stopped laughing: "Alright, alright, you've scared the staff."

Gu Yunzhou then noticed the salesperson standing at the door, let out a sigh of relief, and obediently sat back down in his chair.

Seeing this, Shen Ci took the initiative to invite the salesperson in, explaining with a smile, "They're just joking around, don't be afraid."

The young girl nodded awkwardly, but quickly regained her professional attitude after coming to Shen Ci's side and carefully explained to her: "Please take a look at this order contract. This car has three configurations. The basic configuration costs around 700 yuan, the advanced configuration costs around 850 yuan, and the top configuration is the most expensive. The whole set will cost more than 1000 yuan."

"The difference must be huge, right?" Shen Ci asked.

Although it's the same car model, the price difference between different configurations is so huge that the user experience will likely be very different.

The saleswoman nodded: "That's for sure. The top-of-the-line model is superior in all aspects of the car's performance. Of course, the basic configuration is more than enough for most people. If you don't have such extreme requirements for the car, the basic model is the most cost-effective choice."

In short, if you're looking for the ultimate experience, choose the top-of-the-line model; if you're looking for value for money, choose the basic model.

"I want the top one."

Shen Ci directly checked the top-of-the-line option and left his detailed information and signature.

Gu Lianxing and Gu Yunzhou both showed slight surprise as they watched Shen Ci sign and pay the money so decisively.

Gu Yunzhou was shocked and felt that Shen Ci was special. He had never seen a girl choose the "top-of-the-line Cullinan" when buying a car, starting with a thousand yuan.

Gu Lianxing was completely taken aback. After a while, she came to her senses and couldn't help but say, "Darling, is it really necessary to buy such an expensive car?"

Some of my girlfriends have bought cars, but none of them have spent more than 300 yuan.

"I like that car," Shen Ci said, looking at Gu Lianxing. "Liking it is the most important thing."

The reason was simple and irrefutable, and Gu Lianxing nodded with an expression of "not understanding but respect".

Twenty minutes later, the saleswoman escorted them to the door: "Ms. Shen, please take care. If you have any further questions, please feel free to message me."

Shen Ci smiled and nodded. Gu Yunzhou, who was standing next to him, casually put on his sunglasses and looked at the two of them, saying, "It's terribly hot today. Shall I take you two home?"

Gu Lianxing looked at him warily, as if guarding against a thief.

Stop trying to pull any tricks!

It wasn't a matter of refusal. Gu Lianxing pulled Shen Ci into Gu Yunzhou's car, and the two sat together in the back seat.

This is a Rolls-Royce Phantom four-seater, with a price less than half that of Shen Ci's Cullinan, but it is just one of Gu Yunzhou's many beloved cars.

Seeing this, Wang Chuang walked over to Gu Yunzhou and asked curiously, "Did you get the WeChat?"

Gu Yunzhou shrugged and shook his head.

"Oh? So there are girls you, Young Master Gu, can't handle?"

Wang Chuang was a little surprised. The girl was indeed quite pretty, but based on Gu Yunzhou's past experience, they had never gotten stuck at the WeChat connection stage before.

After all, he's dated celebrities and supermodels.

Gu Yunzhou, instead of being annoyed or angry, smiled meaningfully and said, "Whether I can handle it or not is still uncertain. Don't speak too soon. It's just adding each other on WeChat. I have my own way of doing things!"

On the way back with Shen Ci and the other person, Gu Yunzhou was unusually quiet, only saying a few words occasionally, and focusing on driving most of the time.

He didn't mention adding her on WeChat again until he dropped Shen Ci off at her doorstep.

This unusual behavior made Gu Lianxing even more suspicious.

"Bye-Bye!"

Gu Yunzhou rolled down the car window, waved to the two of them, and turned away briskly, prompting Gu Lianxing to frown and mutter, "What mischief is he up to now?!"

Seeing this, Shen Ci smiled helplessly and said, "Don't be so paranoid. I think your brother is quite interesting."

"Honey, don't be fooled by appearances. He has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, otherwise he could keep changing girlfriends one after another."

Shen Ci nodded: "I understand. I'm not stupid. I won't be easily fooled."

In fact, what Shen Ci wanted to say was that frequently changing partners for the sake of temporary novelty and excitement is also a form of love. As long as it does not harm others and is consensual, every interpersonal relationship has its own reason for existence.

Shen Ci felt that there was essentially no difference between breaking up after a week and breaking up after two months. Those who dated for years before finally breaking up had a higher cost of trial and error, and it was these people who cried foul about wasting their youth.

So which model of dating offers a better experience? That's entirely a matter of opinion, as it's a personal choice.

But Shen Ci didn't say this, because she knew Gu Lianxing was thinking of her. Besides, she had long since lost faith in love, and no matter how clever Gu Yunzhou's methods were, they wouldn't have any effect on her.

After the two returned to the villa, Gu Lianxing immediately went upstairs to take a shower. In this awful October weather, you'd break out in a sweat after just two minutes outside.

Shen Ci leisurely returned to her room, found some clean clothes, and subconsciously picked up her phone to take a look, only to find a small red dot lit up in her WeChat contacts.

"Cloud requests to add you as a friend"

Shen Ci was slightly taken aback, and casually clicked on the other party's information.

Age 23

"Gender: Male"

The profile picture isn't a photo either.

Thinking that he might be a project member in the "Waiting for a Fated Person" group, Shen Ci clicked "accept" without much thought.

The other party immediately sent their first message: "I've added you on WeChat after all!"

Shen Ci blinked as she looked at the message, then suddenly smiled: "Gu Yunzhou?"

"Hmph! How about it, Shen Ci? Aren't I amazing? If Lianxing won't give it to me, I'll find a way to get it from you!"

Shen Ci went into the bathroom while replying to messages.

"You didn't spend a fortune investigating my personal information, did you?"

"How could I? I wouldn't do something as low as doxxing. I memorized your phone number when you signed the contract at the dealership today."

Shen Ci suddenly realized, and at the same time couldn't help but marvel at Gu Yunzhou's memory and clever tricks.

Gu Lianxing was right; he really did have a skill.

Gu Yunzhou quickly followed up with an invitation: "How about we go out tonight? It's a rare National Day holiday, it's so boring staying at home every day, isn't it?"

"I know Lianxing must have told you that I'm a worthless scumbag, but don't worry, I know exactly what I'm doing. I just want to invite you out to have some fun."

five minutes later……

Why aren't you replying to my messages?

"Okay, I admit it, I do have feelings for you, but I promise I won't do anything inappropriate. You can come with Lianxing; aren't you comfortable with her there?"

"I feel wronged. Say something, Shen Ci. You're making me look like a fool."

……

Gu Yunzhou kept sending messages, but Shen Ci didn't reply simply because she was taking a shower.
