"The car cost around 500,000 yuan at its original price, but because it was on sale, I got a lot of discounts on it."
Meixiu said it with a nervous smile. Xiaohui nodded before glancing at her, furrowing her eyebrows as she saw Meixiu's expression.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah, how can you say I'm not?"
Xiaohui shakes her head before looking around again, studying the car in the process.
Meixiu continues to look at her wife's face in the process, their proximity not wavering away as Meixiu didn't intend to move away and Xiaohui not noticing it.
The girl in the driver's seat looks back at her wife and gets shocked upon seeing their proximity.
Meixiu's eyes darted at Xiaohui's as she observed the girl's emotions inside.
She couldn't comprehend what Xiaohui had in her eyes, as they seemed full of emotions.
Xiaohui, on the other hand, got lost in Meixiu's dark brown eyes, which kept looking at her.
It mesmerizes her with how beautiful Meixiu's eyes are and how quickly she gets lost in them.
She couldn't help but lean in a little, clearly wishing Meixiy didn't notice it, but it was too late as Meixiu's right hand went towards her cheeks and softly held it.
Her face slowly leans in as Xiaohui seems to be stuck in her position, waiting for Meixiu to control and manage the situation.
Meixiu stops for a while, her lips inching onto her wife's as she looks deeply at Xiaohui, seemingly asking for permission.
Xiaohui didn't know what pushed her to nod her head, but she did it anyway, encouraging the taller person to lean in a little closer.
As Meixiu's breathing fans her face, a knock on the window interrupts their moment, making Xiaohui lean out and clear her throat.
"I didn't know there are still stores that offer a big discount for these types of cars."
She said this, looking away from Meixiu as she felt her face heating up and remembering what was supposed to happen.
She looks out her window, and her jaw drops to the floor upon seeing Xiaowen standing outside.
She quickly went out of the car as her mother quickly furrowed her eyebrows, seeing her daughter walking out of the car.
"What are you doing inside?"
"Oh, uhm..."
She looks back at the car and sighs in relief upon seeing the tinted windows, knowing that no one would be able to see inside.
She looks back at her mother and explains that the car in front was given to her by someone she knew.
Xiaowen, not knowing who it is, suspects that Tingfeng might have given it to her daughter as she happily claps her hands.
"Is he here?"
"What? Who?"
"Tingfeng, who else? As if your wife would give you such a luxury car."
Xiaohui's jaw dropped at what her mother said. Did she just clearly disregard that Meixiy could do it?
Of course, she can; she has already given Xiaohui the car, and the girl didn't tell her mother about it.
"Mom-"
"Oh, never mind; I'll just call him to thank him."
She quickly said, dismissing her daughter as she went running inside their house, excited for Xiaohui and Tingfeng.
Xiaohui sighs in disbelief and looks at the car, seeing Meixiu walking out of the passenger side as the taller woman looks at her.
"Maybe we can conti-"
Xiaohui's eyes widen as she quickly goes to Meixiu's side and slaps her on the arm.
"Pervert!"
-
The night went on as usual, with Xiaowen busting Meixiu's pride and ego as she continued to praise Tingfeng, who apparently bought the car.
The guy didn't know what to do, and he tried to tell Xiaowen that it was not him who gave it to Xiaohui, but the woman always beat him up about it.
He didn't have a choice but to accept something he knew he didn't do at all.
Xiaohui couldn't even disagree with Xiaowen, as she'd get scolded and yelled at, which probably would drain her energy and make her burst out of anger, but then her mother would make a dramatic outburst of emotion.
She doesn't want to deal with her mother's antics, so she can only nod at her.
And nodding, she accidentally accepted the proposed date that Xiaowen built for her and Tingfeng.
Of course, upon hearing what Xiaowen proposed to him, he didn't think twice about agreeing because it's Xiaohui they're talking about.
And he might be able to know who bought the car for her.
Not that he doesn't like getting complimented by Xiaohui's mother, but because it makes him curious.
Was it another competitor or her wife?
But it will be impossible for Meixiu to buy her the car since the girl doesn't have any money in her account and the Zheng family won't give her a penny.
Xiaohui sighs as she looks out of the car and sees the restaurant Xiaowen rented with the house money.
She couldn't help but feel upset at her mother because the two got into a fight earlier this morning.
Because the house money that is kept saved for emergency purposes was used for a stupid date that was arranged by her mother.
Xiaohui saw Tingfeng walking out of his car and walking inside the restaurant, wearing his nicest pair of suits.
Xiaohui looked down at her outfit and saw that she was wearing the dress she bought back when the party was held, where she was announced as the new director of the Zheng Company.
She shrugs her shoulder before walking out of the car, going inside as she tells her name, as that's what her mother named the reservation.
As the employee guided her toward the table, she saw Tingfeng looking at her with a smile before he stood up and raised his hand for the employee to go away, as he'd be the one pulling the chair for Xiaohui.
"You look fabulous."
He whispered into her ear, fanning Xiaohui's right ear as the girl squirmed in her position, getting a little uncomfortable with Tingfeng's proximity.
The man smirks as he thinks Xiaohui felt something when she moved into her place before walking towards his chair.
"Just so you know, I'm doing this to not deal with my mother's antics."
"Oh, I'm sure you like this as well."
Xiaohui glared at him before the waiter went towards their table and put down the appetizer that was already set by Xiaowen.
"Eat this steamed bun; I heard they make it delicious."
Tingfeng said, putting a steamed bun onto Xiaohui's plate as he got himself one and took a bite.
Xiaohui grabs the bun and tears it, grabbing the smallest piece before putting it in her mouth. It quickly melts a little as the fluffiness doesn't go away.
Tingfeng watches her closely before he grabs the glass of water and sips it.
"So, who bought the car?"
He asked the question that had been lingering in his head since yesterday. Xiaohui looks up at him before putting another small piece of the bun on.
"My wife."
She said, wanting Tingfeng to stop his advances, drawing a line by saying "my wife" instead of Meixiu's name.
Tingfeng giggles as he shakes his head, making the girl in front furrow her eyebrows, wondering if she said something funny.
"I don't think Meixiu will be able to afford something like that."
"Anyways, where's the car?"
He continued, looking at Xiaohui in anticipation before the girl looked at her back and pointed at the car parked almost in front of the restaurant.
"The third one on the left."
