After a failed blind date, a wealthy woman tried to walk into my heart

After touring the dealership for about ten minutes, Shen Lang decisively chose the car he had his eye on the previous night.

Since Shen Lang was paying in full, he didn't need to go through the hassle of identity verification and driver's license checks required for financing.

He only needed to sign a few specific contracts.

He took a test drive with the saleswoman in black stockings.

Finally, guided by the general manager, he began the contract-signing process.

Typically, customers might have to wait several days or up to a week to gather all necessary documents before they can pick up the car and choose a license plate.

Thanks to Xia Shuyi's assistance and the dealership's inventory, they had a car that met Shen Lang's specifications ready.

After signing all the contracts, Shen Lang successfully acquired his 340,000-yuan silver Mercedes-Benz C260L.

After taking some photos with his new car, the three of them returned to the dealership's lounge.

The general manager enthusiastically briefed Shen Lang on the car's features and important points to note.

As this was Shen Lang's first car, he listened attentively, his face glowing with excitement at the thought of driving it home.

Sitting beside him, Xia Shuyi watched the happy young man with gentle eyes, her delicate hand quietly holding his.

Shen Lang did not pull away; instead, he held Xia Shuyi's warm hand and smiled back at her.

Xia Shuyi was even happier, leaning on Shen Lang's arm, her eyes full of affection.

Behind them, a group of slender saleswomen in black stockings and a few well-built male salesmen whispered among themselves.

Judging by the women's envious looks, they seemed to think that having money was great—anyone could easily snag a high-level handsome guy like Shen Lang.

The male salesmen, however, were green with envy and resentment.

It wasn't their first time seeing rich women bring pretty boys to buy cars, but this rich woman was extraordinarily beautiful, both in looks and figure, and even her voice was tender.

Unlike the overweight, ostentatious rich women who often slapped their pretty boys, this woman was a stark contrast.

Thinking about Shen Lang using a rich woman's money to buy a Mercedes and then possibly spending the night with such a high-class woman made the male salesmen even more envious, their fists clenched in jealousy.

"Alright, if I don't understand anything, I'll just contact you on WeChat," Shen Lang said as the conversation wound down. He pulled out his bank card and handed it to the general manager. "Swipe the card, and remember to issue an invoice. It's my first car purchase, so I want to commemorate it."

The general manager hesitated as he took the card, glancing at Xia Shuyi with a helpless smile.

"You go ahead and take care of other things," Xia Shuyi told the general manager, holding Shen Lang's hand. "Let's go choose a license plate first. We'll discuss other matters later."

Only then did Shen Lang realize that Xia Shuyi had already paid for the car. No wonder the salespeople had been looking at him so strangely—they thought he was a kept man!

Embarrassed, Shen Lang decided not to make a scene, fearing the salespeople would see him as a freeloader pretending to pay.

Following Xia Shuyi, he asked quietly, "Sister Xia, I read online that you have to wait until you pick up the car to choose the license plate, right?"

"That's for regular customers," Xia Shuyi replied, stopping and turning with a playful smile and twinkling eyes. "But you're not a regular customer. A little word and it's done."

...

"Sister Xia, where's your... friend?" The general manager's heart skipped a beat, almost blurting out "pretty boy." "Everything's set. You can drive the car and choose the license plate now."

"I'm still looking for him." Xia Shuyi sat anxiously on the sofa, her eyes scanning around nervously. "He said he was going to the restroom but hasn't returned. He didn't come back to you?"

"No, Sister Xia," the general manager replied with a wry smile. "I've been busy with the paperwork for your friend."

"Did he go back..." Xia Shuyi murmured to herself, worried she had embarrassed Shen Lang by paying for the car, making him feel he had lost face.

A female saleswoman whispered to the general manager, "I saw him running outside, heading towards the bank."

"Bank?" The general manager, realizing what was happening, reassured Xia Shuyi. "Sister Xia, my subordinate said your friend went out, but he'll be back soon."

"Really?" Xia Shuyi's eyes lit up.

"Of course," the general manager quickly nodded, inwardly grumbling, "This guy must have some charm to captivate her like this. Maybe he's more than just a pretty face."

"He's back!" The saleswoman who had accompanied Shen Lang for the test drive pointed outside. "Manager, that handsome guy is back."

"Shen, where did you go?" Xia Shuyi, relieved, rushed over to greet him. "We're all waiting for you to choose the license plate."

"Sorry, I had to take care of something," Shen Lang said, scratching his head and turning to the general manager. "Alright, let's choose the license plate and pick up the car!"

The general manager, noticing the details, thought, "This guy must have gone to the bank to withdraw money for the car. He's planning to pay Xia Shuyi back. A truly kept man would be meek and subservient, always flattering the rich woman, never daring to move around without her permission. But this guy is different, not afraid to leave her worried, with the rich woman practically fawning over him."

And indeed, the manager's guess was correct.

Shen Lang had gone to the bank to open an account and deposit the money for the car.

After choosing the license plate and getting in the car, Shen Lang handed the new bank card to Xia Shuyi. "Sister, this is the money for the car. I can't accept such an expensive gift for free."

Sitting in the passenger seat, Xia Shuyi had been happily fastening her seatbelt, looking forward to a drive with Shen Lang.

The sight of the bank card drained the color from her face.

She didn't take the card; instead, she looked at Shen Lang, disheartened, and asked, "Shen, do you also think I'm old? That I've become ugly and old?"
