Chapter 1680: It’s Only a Matter of Time Before We Get Married Anyway

It had barely been half a month since they mutually acknowledged their relationship. Wasn’t it a little too soon to be meeting the parents?

“Do you think I came all the way here just to drive my new car and see the scenery?” Shen Zhilie switched on the ignition and glanced and her with a sarcastic smile.

He looked nothing like the suave and elegant gentleman from moments before.

When she saw his true self emerge, Ye Qianqian harrumphed. A thought suddenly occurred to her. She asked, “Right, when did you buy this car? It’s so expensive! It’s a Maserati! Did your family buy it for you?”

“I bought it on my own! Come on, all these years, my savings account was not for nothing.” Shen Zhilie stroked the steering wheel gingerly and said, “I’ve wanted to buy this car for a long time. I made a reservation for it last year. Because of the modifications I made to the car and color, I only just received it.”

“You must be crazy to buy such an expensive car. The insurance costs in the city are very high. If it ever gets scratched, just the costs of repainting it alone will be enough to bleed you dry.” Ye Qianqian observed the logo on the car. Although she was verbally complaining, she was actually pretty excited about the purchase.

This was a luxury car!

And a Maserati at that!

She was inwardly rejoicing at the memory of Fang Tongtong’s envious gaze.

When Shen Zhilie heard Ye Qianqian’s ramblings, his brows creased together in deep thought. He replied, “You’re right. What you said makes sense. What should I do now? I’ve already bought it.”

“Since you’ve bought it, drive it!”

Ye Qianqian’s tone was none too courteous, but she suddenly changed the topic. “Why didn’t you let me know before coming? It was so rare for me to finally get my annual leave approved and come keep my dad company. Now, you are here, which gave me a shock! Do you know I almost died from that shock? You didn’t even give me any heads up at all!”

“What are you afraid of? It’s not like I’ll eat your father up.”

“Keep left. Just park by the tree there.”

“Alright.” Shen Zhilie did as she said. Ye Qianqian suddenly piped up again. “No, don’t park here. There are many children around this area. It would be horrible if the car gets scratched.”

Shen Zhilie wanted to laugh as he replied, “Don’t worry. It’s fine.”

“No. Drive a little further in. It’ll be safer there.”

Shen Zhilie had no choice but to do as he had been told. After parking the car, he got out and opened the back door.

“Come here and help me,” Shen Zhilie called Ye Qianqian over.

When Ye Qianqian saw what was in the backseat, her eyes glazed over.

The backseat was filled with various kinds of expensive herbs and supplements. There were at least four to five boxes of ginseng and Chinese herbs.

Furthermore, there was a very expensive-looking box with the words “Yellow Crane Tower” written on it.

Yellow Crane Tower was a well-known brand of cigarettes.

Just by looking at the packaging alone, Ye Qianqian was sure that the cigarettes were far more premium than any of the options Fang Tongtong had sold in her shop.

There was also a bottle of brandy. Together with the other two bottles of liquor that they had bought from Fang Tongtong, there were now three bottles.

He had covered everything from cigarettes to liquor and supplements. What on earth...

“Are you crazy? Why did you buy so much?” Ye Qianqian could feel the pinch just from looking at the gifts. “Oh my god, you should really have told me before buying all this! It’s such a waste of money!”

All these gifts were really expensive!

He must have spent a lot of money!

Her monthly salary was only a few thousand dollars a month. She did a rough estimate of the total costs and realized that two months’ worth of salary wasn’t even enough to cover it.

“Well, I’m meeting your father. I shouldn’t scrimp on him.” Shen Zhilie observed her reaction. He held out one of the boxes to her and said, “I intend to bring his daughter home one day. If I leave a bad impression and he refuses to let me marry you, what will I do then?”

Ye Qianqian felt her face heating up. She shoved him and retorted, “D*mn you. Who agreed to marry you? You’re so shameless!”

“Who else can you marry but me?” Shen Zhilie bent forward and planted a kiss on her lips. “It’s only a matter of time before we get married anyway.”

“But... but...”
