Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

"I don't have a driver's license, how come Li Yuan didn't go with you for such an important task as picking up the car?"

Xia Zhijin explained softly, "Honor of Kings just launched, and the company's about to have a holiday, so there are many things to arrange. He's quite busy and probably can't get away."

Chu Yanyan thought for a moment, agreeing with Xia Zhijin.

Regarding "Honor of Kings," the game that's currently blazing hot and viral online, she had naturally heard of it and even secretly downloaded it to play a few times.

The voice of "Daji" in the game was really addictive...

"Then let's go together. I can't drive, but I'll keep an eye out for you."

"Okay!"

Xia Zhijin felt a bit nervous, even though she had practiced a lot with Li Yuan's BMW and Lamborghini during driving lessons.

But that was because Li Yuan was sitting in the passenger seat, allowing her to feel at ease.

With Li Yuan there, even if the sky fell, she wouldn't feel scared.

Her heart was full of a sense of security.

The two girls took a taxi to the Mercedes dealership. Just by giving their names, the sales representatives enthusiastically approached to assist them.

"Miss Xia, Mr. Li Yuan has reserved a Mercedes AMG for you. All the paperwork and fittings are ready. Please follow me to sign and collect the car."

Xia Zhijin and Chu Yanyan, two very pretty young girls, like a pair of sisters, followed the Mercedes store staff, completing the signing and car inspection procedures amidst a haze.

When Xia Zhijin held the documents, wrapped in LV packaging, including the contract and insurance, and stood in front of the brand-new silver-white Mercedes AMG coupe worth a million, even though she had anticipated it, it still felt dreamlike...

She had a car now...

"Dad, Mom, you must be really happy up there; Jin found a man who treats me so, so, so well..."

Xia Zhijin murmured to herself, misty-eyed, her longing for her parents peaking at this moment.

"It's been 10 years, 6 months, and three days since you left; I hope everything is well on your side."

...

Watching Xia Zhijin slowly drive away from the dealership in the brand-new Mercedes coupe, several salespeople finally let loose, loudly discussing....

[That girl just now, isn't she the girlfriend of Xia Hua's idol? I must say, she's really beautiful; her figure, face, and her gaze, wow, even as a girl, I'm dazzled...]

[Li Yuan is certainly generous, buying a luxury car costing over 1.3 million straight away for his girlfriend. If I could find such a boyfriend, I'd be willing to be the third, fourth, fifth, or sixth mistress!]

[Alas, I spent over an hour on makeup this morning, giving up the chance to go home early for the holiday, just to see Xia Hua's idol in person, but he didn't come. I'm heartbroken...]

[Dandan, don't have a crush, and stop daydreaming. A man like Li Yuan isn't someone we can have. Just imagine him at bedtime and relieve yourself with your hand.]

[So envious of this girl, being able to find a boyfriend like Li Yuan, she doesn't need to worry for life. Unlike us, struggling to serve tea and water, forced to smile even when feeling down. Heavenly Father, please send a rich, handsome guy to take me away...]

...

On the morning of January 22nd, at the house in Jinxiu Villas Community.

Bai Weixi, Xia Zhijin, and Zhong Tingyue, three young women, had put aside their work to gather.

Xia Qin, looking at the three beautiful girls in front of her, felt deeply comforted.

Her son had grown up and not only chose a partner but chose several, managing their relationships smoothly...

Xia Qin held Xia Zhijin's hand in one of hers and Zhong Tingyue's in the other, full of reluctance.

She had previously mentioned to Li Yuan privately about bringing all three of them home for the holiday, but Li Yuan politely declined.

Xia Zhijin's grandma might not have any issues, but Zhong Tingyue's father didn't even know she was dating.

Furthermore, they were only freshmen in college, joining him for the holiday wouldn't seem very formal.

At the very least, she'd need to visit them first, which would be more appropriate.

.....

The group carried large bags to the underground garage, placing them on Li Yuan's BMW X6.

Xia Qin smiled kindly and said, "Tingyue, Zhijin, you don't need to see us off. We'll return after Lantern Festival, won't be gone long."

Li Heng, nearby, looked at the two 'future daughters-in-law' and spoke with a smile:

"Give my regards to your families as well. When I have a chance, I'll definitely visit them personally."

His sister, Li Zixia, reluctantly hugged Zhong Tingyue and Xia Zhijin each.

"Sisters-in-law, don't miss us too much, we'll be back after the holiday."

Li Yuan glanced at Bai Weixi in the passenger seat, reminding her, "Bai, keep an eye on my dad. If tired, rest more at the service area. Safety comes first."

Bai Weixi nodded, "Got it, brother!"

.....

After the parents and Bai Weixi left,

on January 22nd, the twenty-seventh of the lunar month, around 1 p.m.,

Li Yuan took Xia Zhijin and Chu Yanyan on a flight to Shancheng.

This was Chu Yanyan's first time flying and her first time in first class, and like Xia Zhijin previously, she was full of curiosity while waiting and boarding.

As the plane took off from the runway and soared amidst blue skies and white clouds,

first-time flyer Chu Yanyan looked pale, nervously patting her chest:

"Li Yuan, Zhijin, taking off was a bit scary; it felt unsafe!"

"Once the plane's airborne, it can't stop, you know!" Li Yuan joked with a laugh.

Though planes are touted as the safest means of transport, they aren't exactly safe. An incident usually ends in total loss.

But there's no choice; the speed of planes is unmatched by trains or cars, though in a few years, the domestic high-speed rail network may barely compare.

Xia Zhijin held Chu Yanyan's hand, comforting her, "Yanyan, planes have weightlessness and heaviness during takeoff and descent, it will pass soon."

"Watching the world outside from the plane is really beautiful."

After a while, Chu Yanyan regained her normal demeanor, gazing out the window at fluffy white clouds and the splendid landscape below, her mood became relaxed...
