62: Chapter 62 From White Moonlight to "Target of Schemes," Su Wantang's Youth Ultimately Becomes a Joke

Su Wantang felt her heart flutter at his passionate performance, half-believing and half-doubting.

That's right, why should she believe Jiang Jinyue and instead doubt the boy she had liked for so many years?

But the slight unease in her heart could not be suppressed.

Everything was too suspicious—Gao Mingxuan's attitude had changed too quickly, absurdly fast.

Even in the past, he had never been this attentive to her.

The atmosphere in the hospital room gradually became heavy.

A moment later, Gao Mingxuan suddenly spoke up:

"Wantang..."

"Hmm?"

"I like you, let's be together. Be my girlfriend."

His gaze was intense, his tone incomparably sincere, "From now on, I will never see Jiang Jinyue again."

He had practiced this look to perfection; deceiving people with it was a cinch.

He had thought dealing with a love-struck fool like Su Wantang was a sure thing.

But to his complete surprise, the look Su Wantang gave him not only failed to show her falling for it, but instead held a touch more gravity.

A direct confession?

This instead made her more suspicious.

Her mind was in a mess, but she knew she couldn't easily say yes.

"Brother Mingxuan... I... I haven't thought it through yet. Let me consider it, okay?"

When the answer she had hoped for for years was finally placed before her, she hesitated.

The smile on Gao Mingxuan's face instantly froze, and it took two seconds before he managed to force it back into a gentle expression:

"It's okay, you rest well first. No rush... We're in no rush."

Once Gao Mingxuan walked out of the hospital room, the gentleness on his face vanished completely.

He leaned against the corridor wall, his fingertips turning white, malice churning in his eyes.

He had thought Su Wantang was already devoted to him and that as long as he gave the word, she would surely pounce immediately.

But that "Let me consider it" just now felt like a fierce slap across his face.

"Consider?"

Why didn't you consider it before?

Who are you acting reserved for now?

Gao Mingxuan knew very well.

It wasn't that Su Wantang had become reserved; it was that she had truly started to suspect.

And all of this was entirely Jiang Jinyue's doing.

If it weren't for her big mouth, how would Su Wantang have suddenly become so hard to handle?

If it weren't for the fact that his family's capital chain really had problems, why would he have needed to lower himself to coax a girl he hadn't even looked at before?

"Mingxuan, how did it go?" Li Haixia asked hurriedly upon seeing him walk out.

Gao Mingxuan smiled calmly: "Auntie, it's fine! Wantang was just a bit shocked. Just now... um... I even confessed to her! I'll be going now."

He could only say this much. He knew the Su Family parents had a very good impression of him, and using this relationship to pressure Su Wantang was fine.

As for the capital chain, he had already explained it; the more you stir that up, the murkier it gets!

Presumably, Su Wantang was also unsure. As long as he proved the funds were not a problem, everything would be easily resolved.

The only one who could accurately know this news was that old geezer Jiang Deming from the Jiang Family; that guy was too shrewd.

And he was too close to his father...

As expected, Li Haixia's smile grew even wider upon hearing this: "Mingxuan, don't mind it! Wantang just got hurt, she must be feeling distressed! Let's wait until she's discharged in a few days, and we can arrange for your parents to discuss it properly?"

"Okay! Auntie, I'll be going now..."

After Gao Mingxuan left, the Su Family parents returned to the hospital room.

Su Wantang was pretending to sleep, pricking up her ears to listen to her parents' conversation.

Li Haixia: "That kid from the Gao Family said he's taken a liking to our daughter."

Su Bingqiang: "Tsk, what kind of talk is that? What do you mean 'taken a liking to'? They are mutually in love, and my daughter isn't bad either."

Li Haixia: "That's right, how could our daughter be anything less? I said let's wait until Wantang is better! We'll put this matter on the agenda—first the engagement, then the marriage license! As soon as Wantang graduates, we'll hold the wedding."

"Good, this works..."

Su Wantang kept her eyes tightly closed, but her eyelashes trembled uncontrollably.

Her parents were discussing in low voices nearby, and every single word drilled into her ears—engagement, marriage license, getting married after graduation...

Words that once made her heart race just thinking about them now only made her feel suffocated.

She had liked Gao Mingxuan for so many years, from youthful ignorance to full anticipation, thinking that as long as she waited for him to turn around, she could have all the sweetness in the world.

But now, when this day had finally come, she only felt cold, false, and suffocated.

...

In Magic City, inside the Rolls-Royce 4S dealership.

Normally, without paying a deposit, they wouldn't reserve a vehicle for you.

But Tang Luochuan's name had spread throughout the nearby luxury car dealerships.

That day, with those three luxury cars, the employees of the porsche and Lamborghini dealerships had long since posted about it on social media.

Mysterious, young, and unreasonably extravagant—that was the universal impression all the salespeople had of him.

Seeing that familiar figure walk through the front door from afar, the manager immediately went up to greet him, with just the right amount of respect on his face: "Young Master Tang, you're here!"

"Oh, don't call me Young Master! Just call me by my name."

Tang Luochuan was dressed in casual wear, his expression calm.

Several female sales staff couldn't help but take a few extra looks, a hint of an ambiguous smile on their faces.

But upon seeing the girl behind him, they restrained their smiles.

A girl who looked stunningly beautiful but silly was looking around at the dealership's environment and the displayed vehicles.

"Wow~~" Shen Muyan had insisted on coming along. She had never been to a 4S dealership to pick up a car, but she knew from Little Red Book that picking up a luxury car was something you could take photos of.

And there was a grand car delivery ceremony.

In the world of Little Red Book where everyone is a millionaire, that was the kind of life she envied, so she had to come and experience it herself today.

"Luochuan~~" She took a few small steps to get closer to him, brushed the back of her hand against his, tapped it lightly, and whispered, "I... I didn't embarrass you, did I?"

"How could you? Bringing you out gives me so much face." Tang Luochuan reached out to wrap his arm around her waist and looked at the manager, "Where's the car?"

"Ready, ready!" The manager nodded repeatedly, "For the configuration you mentioned on the phone, we specifically reserved the latest one that arrived at the dealership for you. The protective film hasn't even been removed yet. Please follow me!"

Shen Muyan held her small canvas bag, biting her lip as she followed Tang Luochuan forward.

Around the corner, an SUV was parked there.

There was indeed a grand car delivery ceremony, but the sign read, "Congratulations to Mr. Tang on his new car."

The car was covered by a pitch-black cloth, so its true appearance couldn't be seen.

"What kind of car is this?" Shen Muyan asked.

Tang Luochuan: "rolls-royce cullinan..."

"Weren't we going to buy a Rolls-Royce?"

"Hehe, you go rest on the side..."

"Would you two like to take a photo here??" The manager made a gesture of invitation.

Tang Luochuan pointed to the sign, "Can you add the words 'Miss Shen'? This is my wife; it'd be very awkward without her name."

"No problem, I'll print it immediately! Little Liu, go quickly!!"
