Wang Rui's complaints only increased my desire to tease her. I walked straight out of the sales hall, but deliberately paused at the door. I heard hurried footsteps behind me, and she grabbed my arm.

"What?" I turned my back to Wang Rui and smiled before regaining my composure.

"You really don't want it anymore?"

"The more you act like this, the more I think my suspicions are correct."

"Is that necessary?"

"Then why are you doing this? Are you deliberately trying to get close to Li Rui?"

"Leave!" Perhaps I had hit a nerve. Wang Rui's tone became a bit irritated.

"I was going to leave anyway, but you're still holding onto me."

Before letting go, she pinched and twisted my arm hard, just as Li Rui saw...

"What's wrong?"

"He doesn't want it anymore; you don't need to prepare."

"Why? We have one in stock, and you could drive it away this afternoon."

I winked at Li Rui, signaling him not to take it seriously.

"Is there something wrong with your eyes?"

Wang Rui said. I turned around and said seriously, "If you keep acting like this, I really won't buy it."

"Leave. Who cares if you buy it or not?"

I put my arm around Li Rui's shoulders and walked inside, saying, "Handle everything for me."

"Then give me your ID."

He stopped, his eyes looking at Wang Rui behind us. I wisely removed my hand from Li Rui's shoulder.

"Didn't you study psychology? Whoever takes it seriously loses." I gave her an out.

Wang Rui glared at me, and then Li Rui said, "Sell it to him at a higher price."

He just smiled, took my ID, and went into the office.

I really enjoyed being around Wang Rui because her presence changed my previously gloomy personality. I was now someone who would bloom with a little bit of sunshine.

It was almost five o'clock when Li Rui reappeared, handing me a file folder. Then, he led us to the new car, opened the door, and I immediately tore off all the wrapping. The car smelled new, and I lovingly touched the steering wheel. My fingers brushed against it, and I started the engine.

Li Rui handed the bank card to me through the window and said, "Take it easy."

"Don't worry, I'm a steady driver," I replied with a smile.

"You're not just going to leave like this, are you?" Wang Rui asked, watching me from the side.

"Why not?"

She turned to Li Rui and asked, "How much of a discount did you give him?"

"Why are you asking that?"

"Are you stupid? If he helped, he has to treat us."

I quickly understood what Wang Rui meant. My mom said she liked to play around, but I thought she was serious about Li Rui.

"I have something to do. Wang Rui will treat tonight, and put it on my tab."

"Whatever you say." Li Rui winked at me, mimicking my gesture.

...

Back at the store, it was the busiest time of day. My mom was also downstairs. When she saw me come in, she asked, "Did you decide on the car after going for so long?"

I held up the car keys and replied, "I already drove it back. Wang Rui's future boyfriend is the manager of the 4S store, so he made it easy for me."

"What do you mean, 'future boyfriend'? Can't you tell if there's something going on?"

"When the time is right, it will happen. Your and Old Wang's worries are unnecessary. I think it's 90% certain."

"If that's the case, your Uncle Wang will be overjoyed."

"My mouth is a little dry. Can you get me a bottle of milk? I don't know where it is."

"Everything you take downstairs, you have to pay for; it has to be accounted for. You can take whatever you want from my office."

"Okay, then I'll pay for it."

I grabbed a can of Coke and drank half of it in one gulp. Then, I heard a voice from behind, "Uncle."

I quickly turned around. It was Xiao Long! Pei Xianglong was leading him, followed by Pei Shiyu. I immediately went to greet them. Before I could say anything, the old man Pei began to say, "Why are you such a persistent pest?"

I looked around awkwardly and said softly, "People have to eat."

"Then leave as soon as you're done eating."

"I haven't eaten yet."

As I spoke, I looked at Pei Shiyu. She didn't look at me directly, but walked past us and found a seat inside.

"Recovered?" I asked, bending down to pick up Xiao Long.

"Yes, thanks to you."

I didn't know if the old man Pei was sincerely saying that, but his attitude had changed a lot. Was this Pei Shiyu's way of expressing her gratitude?

The fact that they chose to eat here probably meant that it suited her taste. As I was about to turn around, I saw a waitress go over and say something to Pei Shiyu, and she immediately got up from her seat.

I immediately went over and asked the waitress, "What's wrong?"

"This seat was already reserved."

"Then find another seat for them."

My mom came over and explained, "This seat was reserved by Wang Rui. There are empty seats upstairs."

When I heard it was Wang Rui, I immediately decided, "Don't move them. Wang Rui can go upstairs when she gets here. Why reserve a seat when people haven't even arrived yet?"

Pei Xianglong was about to get up, but when he heard me say that, he asked impatiently, "Can we sit here or not? Otherwise, we'll go somewhere else."

"You can sit here. I'll take care of it." I replied in a resolute tone.

My mom suddenly tugged at my sleeve and left first. I continued to maintain my previous attitude, smiling and saying to Pei Shiyu, "You can sit here. I'll handle it."

I put Xiao Long in the seat and immediately went back to my mom. As soon as I got there, she said, "Don't do that again. Although Wang Rui is family, if a seat is reserved, it has to be arranged properly. You have to remember what I said. Regardless of whether they are friends you know, you have to follow the order of first come, first served."

"Wang Rui won't say anything when she comes. They've met before."

"Was she the one you were talking about last time?"

"Yes, someone else's wife, but this child is very well-behaved. Women and children have privileges."

She didn't say anything more.

I looked at the menu that Pei Shiyu had ordered and added a local specialty dish, and paid for the order in advance.

When Wang Rui came in, she saw me standing by the checkout counter. Li Rui patted my shoulder, and I said calmly, "You're here. Your seats are upstairs."

"Didn't you tell me it was reserved downstairs?" Wang Rui said.

"What's the difference between upstairs and downstairs?"

It seemed she knew where the reserved seats were. Her eyes quickly looked in the direction of Pei Shiyu, and then she said something shocking, "A family of three?"

It wasn't wrong to say a family of three, but I heard a hint of impropriety in her eyes, and immediately corrected her, "Three generations! Is your mind that filthy?"

Wang Rui gave an evil smile and pulled Li Rui upstairs.
