Chapter 235 Pampering in Luxury Cars

"We stay at the academy every day, and we can't go very far on weekends anyway. Taking a taxi is so convenient; there's no need to buy a car."

Xia Wanrou was actually a bit tempted. After all, who wouldn't want a car of their own?

But seeing her sister refuse, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. There was just a hint of disappointment hidden in her eyes as she stole a glance at Lin Chen.

Xia Wanqing continued, "Besides, buying a car is such a hassle. Fuel costs, maintenance fees—you'd easily spend ten thousand yuan a year. It's a pure waste of money. We don't have much need for a car right now, so it's unnecessary."

Lin Chen didn't argue and simply nodded.

He knew the sisters were still in school and really didn't use a car much except for going home during holidays. Xia Wanqing had a point; there was no need to force a car on them and give them a psychological burden.

"Alright then, I'll go buy another five-seater," Lin Chen said casually after thinking for a moment.

"That mclaren I'm driving now looks good, but it only seats two people. It's too impractical; it won't be convenient for taking you both out in the future."

As he spoke, he looked at the sisters' plates and asked:

"Are you both finished eating? If not, hurry up. When you're done, we're going to the mall."

"Huh? What are we going to the mall for?"

Xia Wanrou looked up and asked, her eyes lighting up again.

"Silly girl,"

Lin Chen ruffled her hair, his tone doting,

"The seasons are changing, so I'm buying you both new clothes. You can't keep wearing last year's old clothes, can you?"

Xia Wanqing was about to say "no need for the trouble,"

But the words reached her lips and she swallowed them back.

What woman doesn't love beauty and new clothes? No matter how stubborn their mouth is, they can't resist the temptation of new clothes.

She gave a light cough, pretending to be indifferent, but she couldn't hide the softening of her tone:

"Fine, we'll go, but don't spend money recklessly."

Lin Chen smiled and reached out to ruffle her hair:

"Don't worry, your brother has money—more than I can spend. Just pick whatever you like."

Xia Wanrou's smile made her eyes curve into crescents. She quickly shoveled down the last bite of food and grabbed her sister's arm:

"Sister, sister, let's go!"

Xia Wanqing gave her a helpless glare, but she also sped up her eating, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly in secret.

Actually, being pampered like this by someone who held her so close to their heart seemed quite nice.

The pedestrian street of the Outlets was bustling with people coming and going. Sunlight filtered through the layered awnings of the shops, falling onto the full shopping bags in the trio's hands.

In just over half an hour, Lin Chen had accompanied the Xia Wanqing sisters as they swept up over a dozen sets of new clothes. Packaging bags of all sizes almost filled both of their arms.

Xia Wanqing's arms were starting to ache slightly. She stopped with the last bag containing a dress and let out a long sigh, complaining with a hint of charming petulance, "No more, no more! I really can't carry any more! If we buy more, my arms are going to be ruined."

Although she was complaining, she couldn't hide the joy and satisfaction in her eyes.

Following Lin Chen out meant not having to worry about prices or struggle with choices—if she liked a style, she just took it. This feeling of being unconditionally pampered and supported made her heart feel warm, secure, and happy.

Lin Chen looked at the shopping bags hanging from the two girls' arms and remembered the cramped sight of three people squeezed into the mclaren sports car earlier. He smiled helplessly and said, "There's a car dealership right next door; I'll go pick up a car."

"You two were squeezed into one seat just now; it must have been incredibly uncomfortable."

Hearing this, the younger sister immediately nodded vigorously, her small hand gently rubbing her chest with a look of grievance:

"Exactly! It was miserable. I was squeezed so hard my chest felt tight; I didn't dare move the whole way."

Xia Wanqing immediately rolled her eyes at her and couldn't help teasing:

"Tch, you have the nerve to say that? Who's the glutton who kept eating the whole way out? Your stomach was bulging; if you weren't the one getting squeezed, who would be?"

The younger sister immediately retorted defiantly, her eyes curving with mischief:

"Sister, be reasonable. You ate desserts and ice cream just now, and you didn't eat much less than me. Why are you only picking on me!"

Lin Chen stood to the side, watching the exquisite and perfectly figured twin sisters bicker. One was charming and gentle, the other spirited and lively; identical faces yet with completely different temperaments. He found it both funny and touching, his heart full of tenderness.

He raised his hand to gently interrupt their bickering, his tone gentle and doting:

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Find a Milk Tea Shop to sit and rest. Leave the things there for now and wait for me obediently. I'll be back soon."

After giving his instructions, Lin Chen turned and walked straight toward the nearby Mercedes-Benz dealership.

As soon as he stepped into the showroom, a wave of air conditioning hit him. Various luxury cars were displayed in the clean and bright showroom.

A beautiful saleswoman with exquisite makeup and a professional suit quickly hurried over. Her attitude was warm and appropriate as she asked with a smile, "Handsome Guy, what model are you interested in? Let me introduce some to you."

Lin Chen's gaze quickly swept over the vehicles and landed directly on the black Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon in the center of the showroom.

The boxy, rugged body had a powerful presence, and the space looked exceptionally spacious. It could fully meet daily travel needs and wouldn't be crowded even with two girls.

He pointed directly at the car, his tone blunt: "This off-road vehicle. How much? Just tell me the final on-the-road price."

The saleswoman was stunned for a moment. She hadn't expected this young and handsome customer to be so direct, not even sparing a second glance at the exterior or interior, let alone asking about configurations and specs. She quickly recovered and replied professionally:

"This is the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. The official list price is 1.5 million. Including registration, full insurance, and purchase tax, the total on-the-road price is 1.58 million."

"Okay, I'll take it."

Lin Chen's tone was flat, without the slightest hesitation. He pulled a black card directly from his pocket: "Swipe the card. Full payment."

As soon as these words came out, the saleswoman was completely dumbfounded, her eyes wide with disbelief.

She had been in sales for so long and had seen many customers buying cars. They either repeatedly compared specs, inspected the car for ages, or spent forever haggling over the price and asking for freebies. This was the first time she had encountered someone so decisive.

No questions about price, no haggling, no questions about after-sales service, no asking for gifts. He saw it and immediately swiped for the full amount.

She couldn't help but marvel in her heart: Young people these days are too much. For truly wealthy people, buying a car really is as casual as buying groceries; they simply don't lack money.

After being stunned for a full two seconds, the saleswoman hurriedly composed herself, the smile on her face becoming even more eager:

"O-okay, sir! I am so sorry, I lost my composure! Please move to the VIP lounge to sit for a bit and have some tea. I'll get the documents and handle the procedures for you immediately. We can have the car ready for pickup in half an hour at the earliest!"

The rest of the process was smooth sailing.

The dealership already had the full set of documents ready for the stock car, and with the full payment, the processing speed was extremely fast.

In just half an hour, Lin Chen had the keys to the new car. He drove the brand-new, shiny black Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon, which hadn't even been registered yet, and parked it steadily by the curb at the Outlets.

The window slowly rolled down, and he sent a message to Xia Wanqing: I'm waiting for you by the curb at the main entrance of the mall. Just come out.

Five minutes later, Xia Wanqing's soft voice came over the phone, sounding a bit flustered as she looked around:

"Lin Chen? Where are you? We don't see you."

Lin Chen leaned his head out, his gaze accurately locking onto the two slender figures looking around nearby, and shouted:

"Ten meters to your left! This black G-Wagon without plates. Look over here!"

His clear voice caused many passersby to turn their heads, their gazes all focusing on this powerful-looking new car.

The next second, two beautiful figures ran over quickly.

Identical exquisite faces, fair and translucent skin, supple long hair fluttering in the wind, and slender, eye-catching figures—they were a pair of twins with extremely high recognition.

The way the two of them jogged toward the luxury car instantly attracted the eyes of everyone on the street.

Two young men passing by stopped in their tracks and couldn't help but sigh in low voices as they watched the scene.

One was full of envy: "See that? These days, if you want to pick up top-tier beautiful girls, you've got to drive a luxury car. It gives you all the confidence you need."

The other nodded in deep agreement, his tone full of emotion:

"It's just too real."

"If you want to marry a top-quality beauty like that, you either have the ability to make money or you're outstanding enough. Otherwise, ordinary people really don't even have a chance; they won't even be able to get a wife."
