197: Pick up the car

Early the next morning, while Jiang Ye was still deep in sleep, there was a "thud, thud, thud" knocking on his bedroom door.

“Little Brother, Little Brother! Get up! The sun is burning your butt!”

Jiang Ye opened his eyes groggily and mumbled a response, “The door's unlocked...”

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ning pushed the door open with a "click" and scurried to the bedside in a few steps.

“Let's go, let's go! Stop sleeping! We're going to buy you a car! Little Sister Su is paying!”

Jiang Ye sat up rubbing his eyes, looking at the energetic Su Ning standing by the bed, feeling a bit dazed for a moment.

This woman seemed just as imposing yesterday. Later... tsk, after withdrawing the cash and her wallet got fat, she felt like she was on top of the world again?

“Sigh...”

Jiang Ye ruffled his hair and let out a faint sigh. “Little Sister Su, I had a dream last night, and I was mocked again.”

Su Ning's head was currently filled with the beautiful cycle of 'Buy Brother Ye a car → Brother Ye is happy → continue gifting tickets → earn money myself.' Hearing this, she didn't even think before waving her small hand heroically.

“It's fine, it's fine! We'll be driving a new car in a bit, let's see who dares to laugh at you then! Hmph!”

“Sigh...”

Jiang Ye sniffled aggrievedly, his eyes dimming. “They laughed at me... for renting a place, saying I'm like duckweed without even a nest to call my own.”

The bright smile on Su Ning's face instantly froze, and her waving arm stopped mid-air. “???”

She opened her mouth, looking at Jiang Ye's "melancholy" expression, and almost choked on her breath.

Damn, damn, damn! This Dog man! Ruining her mood first thing in the morning!

You can't possibly want me to buy you a house, can you?!

Are... you... dreaming?

...?

No... that's impossible, right?

Watching Su Ning's expression change from high-spirited to dumbfounded and then to a look of wary alertness, Jiang Ye smiled with satisfaction.

Mhm, teasing a Girl in the morning is quite refreshing indeed~

He stopped wasting time, threw back the covers, and prepared to get out of bed.

Just as he got up, he suddenly noticed Su Ning's originally wandering gaze snap onto a certain part of his body... Jiang Ye paused, glanced down following her line of sight, and then stretched nonchalantly.

“Stop looking, little glutton, I'm not giving you any.”

“!!!”

Su Ning's face instantly turned bright red, from her cheeks all the way to her ears. “You! You you you... what nonsense are you talking about! Who... who's a glutton!”

She stammered her rebuttal, but her eyes were like they were stuck to a magnet, unable to look away.

It wasn't until Jiang Ye's half-smiling gaze swept over that she stomped her foot, dropped a "Hurry up!", and fled the bedroom in a panic.

Jiang Ye looked at her back, gave a light chuckle, and slowly began to get dressed.

Walking out of the bedroom, the living room was quiet; Lin Wanxing had already gone to work.

A corporate slave with only one day off really couldn't afford to be hurt; they had to go to work even on Sunday.

Su Ning had already changed into her outdoor clothes. Seeing Jiang Ye come out, she stood by his side, urging him to wash up.

Once everything was settled, the two quickly returned to the Zeekr booth at MixC City.

After Jiang Ye repeatedly confirmed with “Are you sure?”, “This is too expensive, it's not appropriate, right?”, and “Little Sister Su, have you really thought this through?”, and after Su Ning swore to the heavens that this was absolutely a sincere New Year's gift for him, the car buying process officially began.

Su Ning first paid the remaining 55,000 yuan down payment, and then paid for the compulsory traffic insurance, commercial insurance, financial service fees, and other miscellaneous costs, which added up to another 15,000 yuan.

When Jiang Ye finally walked over and signed his name on the purchase contract, the system notification in his mind finally arrived as expected:

【Ding! Detected that the host has received an active gift from Su Ning: zeekr x entry-level vehicle down payment and related fees. System evaluated value: 75,000 yuan. Triggered 1000% cashback, obtaining 750,000 yuan!】

It's done!

Jiang Ye felt a surge of wild joy in his heart.

Adding the original 300,000 he had on hand, his personal assets had finally broken the million mark, entering a new stage!

However, besides the joy, there was also a slight regret.

This Girl Su Ning clearly had 160,000 to 170,000 on hand, yet she didn't choose to pay in full. It seemed she was indeed scared of being poor before and habitually wanted to keep some liquid cash for a sense of security.

But he couldn't drop any more hints.

Dropping a few subtle lines about "low self-esteem" before the purchase was already the limit allowed by the system.

If he really tried some extra maneuvers during the formal purchase phase, there was a very high probability of triggering a system warning, leading to a cashback failure.

Still, this was fine too.

For the next three years, he could receive a 30,000 yuan 'salary' from Su Ning every month, which counted as a decent passive income.

After finishing the purchase procedures here, the two immediately rushed to the Zeekr delivery center.

Inspecting the car, picking a number, getting the plates... after a series of processes, it was already past two in the afternoon by the time Jiang Ye gripped the steering wheel and drove the car out of the delivery center.

Su Ning sat in the passenger seat, touching here and looking there with excitement. She took her phone and snapped a barrage of photos of the interior, the steering wheel, and the scenery outside, posting over ten updates to her Moments in a row.

When the sisters she knew from the voice chat room and the guild saw her Moments and read captions like "Happy to get a new car, thanks to my big brother," they were so envious they almost exploded in the group chat.

Buying a car directly after one PK!

In their eyes, this was practically a fantasy story, an inspirational legend in the voice chat room circle.

For the entire day, almost all the chat topics in the guild revolved around the "Number One Sister" Yao Yao and her god-tier whale "Brother Ye."

This satisfied Su Ning's vanity immensely, making her incredibly excited.

It was also the first time in Jiang Ye's life that he owned his own car, so he was originally quite excited too. But glancing at Su Ning beside him, whose face was even redder than Ye Cheng's when she was aroused, he couldn't help but tsk.

“Student Su, let me remind you, this seems to be my car? Why do you look more excited than I do?”

Su Ning was immersed in the dual happiness of being a "rich woman" and "being envied." Hearing this, she giggled.

“Who are we to count between us? Yours is mine... uh... anyway! I'm just happy!”

She was about to show off some more when her phone suddenly vibrated; it was a private message from Zhi Xia.

Zhi Xia: 【Yao Yao, you must keep a close eye on this Big Brother. A lot of female accounts came to the room today, and I feel like they're all here for Brother Ye, looking to poach him!】

Su Ning's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and the smugness on her face dissipated quite a bit.

Right!

There were still potential threats!

Like that streamer named "Feiyue" on the phone yesterday!

While her fingers flew to reply 【Don't worry, my brother only has me in his heart~】, she casually turned her head to ask Jiang Ye.

“By the way, Little Brother, are you hungry? Let's find a place to eat.”

Jiang Ye also happened to feel a bit hungry, so he slowly pulled the car over and opened Meituan on his phone.

“Sure, let's see if there's anything good nearby to celebrate my new car.”

Su Ning gave an "Mhm" and her eyes darted around. “How about... we go eat noodles? I suddenly really want to eat noodles...”
