Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Won, You Need to Provide Them with a Sense of Security
Su ixi paused for a mont and then typed a sentence, “You don’t need to ask for my opinion. If you want to buy it, just buy it. I have no right to stop you.”
But feeling the tone was too harsh, she deleted that sentence and then sent the ssage.
Gu Wei replied, “Do you have any preferred models or types of cars?”
Su ixi: “No.”
Gu Wei: “Then I’ll make the decision and buy one first. We can all use the car at ho.”
After a while, Gu Wei sent another ssage, “Today is our wedding anniversary. What would you like to eat after work?”
Su ixi did not imdiately reply to his ssage.
Normally, when people talk about an anniversary, they refer to the wedding day, not the day they registered their marriage.
As a child, influenced by certain idol dramas, she had hoped to find her Prince Charming and walk into the wedding hall with him. She even secretly sketched out the wedding dress she wanted to wear in the future in her notebook.
But Gu Wei had never ntioned anything about it, and she hadn’t either, so there probably wouldn’t be a wedding.
Well, let’s just treat this marriage as marking ti.
Although there was no wedding, Gu Wei had sorted out the house and car, so she couldn’t ask for too much.
Besides, even if they had a wedding, who could she invite? Who would genuinely wish her well?
As she was about to reply to Gu Wei, a ssage arrived from the work group chat: there was a training session tonight with a provincial expert coming to give a lecture, and Mr. Wang required all doctors who were not on duty to attend.
Su ixi then replied to Gu Wei, “I’m busy tonight. Eat by yourself.”
…
Gu Wei was sitting in a resting area of the car exhibition center, looking at the ssage Su ixi had sent him.
Since their registration, Su ixi’s attitude had been very cold, much like a scoundrel who had tricked soone into commitnt, which made him feel sowhat disheartened.
After thinking for a while, he sent a ssage to Gu Cheng, “Brother, I completed the marriage registration today.”
Gu Cheng replied almost instantly, “Congratulations, now I’m the only bachelor left in the family.”
“But I feel like Ah Xi isn’t very happy. She’s a bit hard to figure out. Brother, do you know why?”
Gu Cheng was probably busy. It took him ten minutes to reply, “Don’t try to figure out won. Just give her a sense of security.”
After thinking it over carefully, Gu Wei seed to understand sothing.
So, he strode towards the Land Rover section.
He took a fancy to a white Land Rover Range Rover. This SUV looked very imposing, perfect for giving a woman a sense of security.
“Do you have this model in stock? What’s the price?” Gu Wei asked the Land Rover salesperson.
“The base model costs about 700,000 bare, and with miscellaneous fees and registration, it cos to about 800,000. Sir, are you looking for imdiate possession? The stock ones require full paynt, would you mind a demo car?”
“I don’t mind. Put the car under my wife’s na, and I’ll make the full paynt.”
The salesperson smiled broadly, “Alright sir, you can process the paperwork here and drive it away today.”
So, Gu Wei went to swipe his card.
He decided to gift this car to Su ixi; he had several cars in another residence, the cheapest of which cost over a million, but those were used by him, so he decided to give her a brand-new one.
…
Su ixi’s training session wouldn’t end until 9:30 tonight.
Once the training was over, she walked to the hospital entrance.
She had co by taxi in the morning, so she either had to take a bus or get a cab in the evening.
The bus at this ti only ca every half hour, and she had just missed one. The next one wasn’t until 10 o’clock, so Su ixi decided to call a cab.
Coincidentally, Li Pingping was also waiting at the entrance for her boyfriend to pick her up.
Upon seeing Su ixi, Li Pingping provocatively asked, “Dr. Su, why aren’t you driving your electric scooter?”
Su ixi took out her phone, opened the app, and replied, “I didn’t bring the electric scooter.”
Li Pingping then scornfully said, “Your boyfriend can afford such a big house, why doesn’t he save so money to buy a car?”
Just as Li Pingping finished speaking, a white Land Rover pulled up in front of Su ixi, the window half down, and Gu Wei called out from inside, “Ah Xi, get in the car.”
Su ixi was montarily stunned.
The car hadn’t been registered yet, it must have been bought today.
Why did he buy such a big, rugged car? It totally fits his personality.
It seems he bought it according to his own taste, without considering her.
Well, it’s his money, he can buy whatever car he wants.
Su ixi got into the passenger seat, and reached to fasten the seatbelt, but since she hadn’t ridden in this type of car before, the seatbelt jamd and she couldn’t pull it down.
Seeing this, Gu Wei quickly leaned over to help her pull down and fasten the seatbelt.
He was very close to her and Su ixi could feel his breath; her body stiffened involuntarily and she didn’t dare to move.
“All set,” Gu Wei said.
Su ixi murmured an acknowledgnt.
Once he was seated, she asked, “This car… was it bought today?”
“Yes, do you like it?”
Su ixi thought, why should it matter to you whether I like it or not? If you like it, that’s enough.
“How much did it cost?” she asked.
“It wasn’t very expensive, just over 800,000.”
“You… are that wealthy?” Su ixi asked.
Gu Wei paused, thinking 800,000 wasn’t expensive.
Considering the disparity between their family circumstances, to avoid frightening her, he said, “My brother lent 200,000.”
Su ixi clenched her teeth. “I’ve saved a bit over the years from being frugal, totaling almost 200,000 as well. I’ll transfer it to you so you can repay your brother.”
“Is that really necessary?” Gu Wei felt it wasn’t needed.
Stubbornly, Su ixi said, “Since we’re married, our money is shared property. Besides, you said this car was bought for both of us to use. I can’t contribute nothing, and besides, a soldier like you can’t have much of a salary, right?”
Gu Wei was speechless.
Where did she get the idea his salary wasn’t high?
“Let’s not talk about this now; let’s go ho.”
…
Li Pingping watched as Su ixi got into Gu Wei’s car, a car she recognized; her boyfriend often ntioned that when he had money, he would definitely get a Land Rover.
This was clearly a new car and not cheaply priced either.
Li Pingping clenched her fists, feeling a fla of jealousy burning within her.
What on earth did Su ixi have?
She quickly snapped a photo of the Land Rover with her phone and sent it to Han Ningzhen.
“Ningzhen, this is Su ixi’s husband’s car.”
Han Ningzhen didn’t reply, probably hadn’t seen the ssage yet.
At that mont, Li Pingping’s boyfriend also arrived by car.
Seeing her boyfriend’s car, a Japanese model worth about 200,000, for the first ti she thought it looked low-end.
“What’s wrong, baby? You seem upset,” her boyfriend asked.
Li Pingping resentfully said, “I just can’t stand so female doctors who, just because they are attractive, use the opportunity from consultations to hook up with rich male patients, demanding they buy them houses and cars.”
Her boyfriend, also indignant, responded, “These won can only profit from their youth for a few years; after that, who will even look at them? Whatever they grab will eventually have to be paid back.”
Li Pingping scoffed, “That’s exactly what I think too.”
…
In a new district in Feng City, Han Ningzhen had just finished a workout with Qi Anran, and both were lying on the bed exhausted.
“Baby, how was that move just now? Great, wasn’t it?” Qi Anran, holding Han Ningzhen, asked.
