After saying that, Fu Cheng turned around to pay.

Lu Shiyi followed behind him, thinking she might also inquire about loan information.

Unexpectedly, her husband paid the full amount upfront.

Lu Shiyi quickly pulled her husband aside and whispered, "Why did you pay in full right away? We can get a loan, and I don't have much pressure paying the car loan every month."

Fu Cheng looked at his wife for a long time before saying, "It's only a little over ten thousand yuan. Taking out a loan... isn't worth it."

Lu Shiyi: "But..."

As she was speaking, a staff member came over to remind them to complete some of the next procedures.

Lu Shiyi had no choice but to give up for the time being.

Because it was a full payment, the car purchase process was much simpler. After paying and getting the insurance done, the two left.

Fortunately, due to inventory issues, I can only pick up the car in a week.

Otherwise, Lu Shiyi really had no confidence that he could drive this behemoth back.

After buying the car, Fu Cheng said to Lu Shiyi, "Let's go, I'll take you home."

Lu Shiyi was deep in thought when she heard her husband speak. She looked up and asked, "Hmm? What did you just say?"

Fu Cheng glanced at his wife and patiently repeated, "I'll take you home."

Lu Shiyi waved her hand, "No need, I can take a taxi back myself. Aren't you in a hurry? Hurry up and go back to the company."

Fu Cheng: "Since I brought you out, I should naturally take you back."

Lu Shiyi felt a warmth in her heart. Although her husband was usually a bit aloof, he was sometimes very thoughtful and considerate. She didn't insist anymore and got into the car with her husband.

In the car, she hesitated for a moment, but then continued the previous topic.

“Mr. Fu, your return gift is indeed a bit too expensive. I was originally thinking of buying it on loan and paying off the car loan myself, but I didn’t expect you to pay in full. I’ll transfer the money to you later.”

Fu Cheng drove the car and said in a calm tone, "You said it yourself, it's a return gift. How can you accept money for a gift that's been given?"

Lu Shiyi scratched his head, momentarily unable to refute.

If she were to accept the car from her husband like this, she would probably be restless and unable to sleep or eat properly, and wouldn't be able to drive it with peace of mind.

She didn't want to owe Fu Cheng a favor, especially such a large one.

Moreover, he had clearly outlined all the rules and regulations in the agreement, and she had strictly adhered to them. How come he seems to have forgotten about it now?

Lu Shiyi thought that rather than settling these old scores later, it would be better to clarify things now.

She turned to look at Fu Cheng and said earnestly, "I appreciate your kindness, but this gift is far too precious for me. If I accept it, I'll be restless and unable to eat or sleep. Although we are husband and wife, and it's normal for couples to support each other, we are different. We had a whirlwind marriage with no emotional foundation, and we even signed an agreement. There are some things that need to be clearly defined, especially regarding money. That way, if things really come to a head, there will be less entanglement when we separate, and we can both be more dignified. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Cheng's expression remained unchanged, and he continued driving with focus, but he felt inexplicably annoyed.

He hadn't expected his wife to be so insistent. He didn't know if it was because of the agreement or something else, but he felt very upset at that moment.

After a long while, Fu Cheng spoke up: "Then let's write an IOU. You don't need to give me the money yet, I don't need it."

Lu Shi nodded. "Okay, I'll write you an IOU when I get home tonight."

Right after buying the car, she was calculating her current savings.

Although she had enough to pay for the car, she felt insecure about the remaining savings if she paid it all at once.

She would be in a very passive position if something suddenly happened to her or her family members and they needed money.

So she planned to give her husband half first, and the rest later.

But now, I can give her an IOU; she definitely won't renege on her debt.

After the car payment issue was resolved, Lu Shiyi finally relaxed and began to slowly savor the car she had just chosen. After all, it was her first car, and she was still a little excited.

Meanwhile, Fu Cheng drove with a serious expression, not saying another word.

As they approached the study hall, before getting out of the car, Fu Cheng reminded Lu Shiyi: "When you pick up the car next week, remember to let me know."

When the car was purchased, the owner listed Lu Shiyi as the owner and left her mobile phone number as the contact information.

Lu Shiyi realized what was happening and said, "You go ahead with your work. I'll have Tang Tang come with me. She's a seasoned driver with five years of experience."

Fu Cheng frowned. "Hit the Bentley's driver??"

Lu Shiyi: "..."

She mentioned it casually at the time, and he actually remembered it.

Lu Shiyi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll let you know in advance. You should go back to the company as soon as possible."

After saying that, she unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.

Fu Cheng drove directly back to the company.

When Lu Shiyi returned to the study room, Tang Yiran immediately came over and asked, "So, so? What did your husband ask you to go shopping with him for? It wasn't a diamond ring, was it?"

Tang Yiran's blatant gossip made her seem even more excited than the person involved.

Lu Shiyi glanced at her, picked up her water glass to fill it, and then sat down to drink as she spoke: "It's a car. He said I needed a car. Yesterday, I thanked him for accompanying me to the hospital and for hiring a caregiver, so I bought him some clothes. Today, he's giving me a car as a return gift."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yiran exclaimed, "Wow, that's a generous offer! I must say, your husband may be cold, but he's still very considerate towards you. He knows you've been running around a lot lately and it's been too tiring for you, so he thought of buying you a car so it will be convenient for you to go anywhere in the future."

As she spoke, she glanced at Lu Shiyi and asked, "You didn't reject him, did you?"

She knew her best friend too well. When they lived together before, Lu Shiyi insisted on paying her rent because she didn't want to owe her a favor, let alone now that it was a car.

Lu Shiyi said, "I didn't expect that he would give me a car in return for the gift I gave him, and he even paid for it in full. I accepted the car, but I will write an IOU for the money I paid for it and transfer it to him later."

Tang Yiran patted her friend's arm, "I knew it, you never surprise me."

"But I feel much better now. It turns out you don't just do this with your best friend, you even make your husband pay you an IOU."

Lu Shiyi smiled. "What are you talking about? Were you feeling resentful all along?"

"Of course! He married my wonderful best friend, how can I not hold a grudge?"

However, jokes aside, Tang Yiran knew in her heart that her friend was an independent and self-reliant person. Whether it was family, friendship or love, her friend would never take anything for granted because of the relationship between them.

This is also what she admires most about her friend.

Tang Yiran turned her head and looked towards the door. "Where's your car? Haven't you brought it back yet?"

Lu Shiyi replied, "I can only pick up the car next week. I can take advantage of this week to practice driving. I haven't really touched a car since I got my license."

Tang Yiran nodded in agreement, saying, "You do need to practice before you actually drive it, but now that it's all automatic, it's easy to get the hang of. If you need a practice partner, just let me know, I'm always available."

Then he asked, "When are you going to pick up your car? I'd like to go with you to welcome your beloved little car!"

Lu Shiyi lowered her head and took a sip of water, her eyes darting around. After a pause, she said, "Um, the pick-up time hasn't been set yet, but Fu Cheng said he'd go with me, so..."

Of course, she didn't dare mention the things her husband said that disliked Tangtang...
