Chapter 13: Opening the Hidden Treasure Chest Again
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"What are you laughing at!?"
Seeing Ning Xiuyang slapping the steering wheel and laughing wildly, Bai Xiaoji frowned, completely puzzled.
But then she retorted defiantly, "I'm here to meet guys, so what? Humph, I'm 25 already, it's time for me to find a boyfriend. Anyway, someone has been staying at home for so many years, pretending not to want to marry into the family, but there are men who are willing to do so. I'm not the kind of ugly woman who can't get married."
"Hahaha..." Ning Xiuyang couldn't help but chuckle, turning to look at Wu Xingyao, whose face was flushed and trying not to laugh, in the passenger seat, and said, "Yaoyao, aren't you my girlfriend? When did you become my sister's boyfriend?"
Hearing Ning Xiuyang suddenly ask her a question, Wu Xingyao suppressed her laughter, her face turning almost purple.
"What?"
Bai Xiaoji, sitting in the back seat, was completely bewildered. She first looked at Ning Xiuyang, then at Wu Xingyao, blinking her big eyes with a look of utter confusion.
"What are you talking about?"
"who is she?"
Bai Xiaoji realized what was happening and stared at Wu Xingyao in the passenger seat.
"Lemon...I am Yao Yao."
Wu Xingyao couldn't help but laugh, her face turning bright red. She turned her head to look at Bai Xiaoji, who was practically sticking his head out from the center console of the seat. His eyes were like the moon, and a hint of charm lingered between his brows as he whispered something.
"What?"
Bai Xiaoji was clearly taken aback and couldn't react for a moment.
The main reason was that she never expected that Yao Yao, whom she met in the game, would actually know Ning Xiuyang.
However, she immediately realized something, her foxy eyes widened suddenly as she stared at Wu Xingyao, then looked at Ning Xiuyang in disbelief, her brows visibly furrowing.
"Are you Yaoyao?"
"Then why did you make me wait here all afternoon!"
"And you, how did you even get to know her?"
"You hacked my account?"
Bai Xiaoji's eyes were clearly filled with annoyance. She had been left hanging here for an entire afternoon and hadn't said anything, but after all her careful planning to avoid being discovered by Ning Xiuyang, Ning Xiuyang had actually gotten together with her online friend. This made her feel like she was the clown.
Wu Xingyao's face turned red, her eyes flickered, and she said sorry, but in her heart she was thinking: You feel wronged, but I feel more wronged than you. I met you in person and ended up losing my virginity. Where can I go to complain?
Fortunately, I also like Yang Gege quite a bit, otherwise I would have nowhere to cry.
Perhaps, this is fate!
It always comes so unexpectedly, catching us completely off guard.
Ning Xiuyang smiled and explained to Wu Xingyao back and forth for a long time before finally calming Bai Xiaoji down.
"No, you have to treat me to a meal. I've been starving all afternoon!"
Bai Xiaoji spoke with a wronged expression, her eyes clearly showing a hint of jealousy as she looked at Ning Xiuyang.
Upon learning that Wu Xingyao was supposed to have a date with her, but instead got into Ning Xiuyang's car and was even taken advantage of by Ning Xiuyang within half a day, she immediately felt intense jealousy.
Does this guy really look down on me that much?
"Eat, eat!"
Ning Xiuyang immediately smiled and nodded.
"Where did you get this car? What's your situation right now?"
Bai Xiaoji frowned and stared at Ning Xiuyang as he asked.
Compared to the fact that her sweetheart had been snatched away by her gaming friend, Bai Xiaoji was more concerned about where Ning Xiuyang got so much money. It wasn't that she wanted it, but she was simply worried about him and afraid that he would go astray.
"Didn't I tell you before that I made a game? I made it this year, and I sold it to a big company. Now I'm a multi-millionaire!"
Ning Xiuyang said with a smile.
He had already prepared this explanation. He had indeed been researching games on his own, which was one of the reasons why he was a bit of a homebody. However, it was impossible for the game to sell for tens of millions. But Bai Xiaoji and Uncle Bai wouldn't understand, so this excuse would be enough to deal with them!
"Really? You actually succeeded?"
Bai Xiaoji's face immediately lit up with excitement, his eyes filled with admiration and favor, as if he were looking at his own simpleton. He was genuinely happy for Ning Xiuyang.
Wu Xingyao was shocked when she heard these words. She had always thought that Brother Yang was a rich second generation.
Unexpectedly, he started from scratch, and through his own efforts.
Wu Xingyao's admiration for Ning Xiuyang grew even stronger.
"I'm going to have to fleece you!"
Seeing the admiration in Wu Xingyao's eyes, Bai Xiaoji couldn't help but feel jealous and immediately said fiercely.
Ning Xiuyang chuckled and said, "Go ahead and fleece them. I'll transfer 100,000 yuan to you later. You can give it to your uncle and aunt. They definitely won't accept it if I give it to them."
Bai Xiaoji raised an eyebrow, stared at Ning Xiuyang for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
But immediately, her tone changed, and she stared at Ning Xiuyang suspiciously, saying in a deep voice, "However, you wouldn't be trying to use this 100,000 yuan to sever ties with our family, would you?"
Hearing this, Ning Xiuyang was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled, saying, "What are you thinking? Don't worry, once I have more money in hand, I'll go back home and furnish the house, at least a small villa, so Uncle Bai and Aunt Bai can enjoy my good fortune."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoji felt a sense of relief.
"Get out of the car, let me drive. I've never driven such a nice car before!"
Bai Xiaoji nudged Ning Xiuyang's shoulder and then got out of the back seat first.
Ning Xiuyang smiled, glanced at Wu Xingyao, and then gave his seat to Bai Xiaoji before going to the back seat himself.
Bai Xiaoji was a little excited. She rarely had the opportunity to drive, especially a car of this caliber. She usually took the subway to work, and her company would occasionally help her drive. Her driving skills weren't particularly proficient, but she had no problem driving normally on the road.
Ning Xiuyang sat in the back seat, scrolling through Douyin (TikTok) to see if he could get more treasure chests, while chatting casually with Bai Xiaoji. Wu Xingyao remained silent, listening intently to their conversation, occasionally chiming in.
"...Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet is the world's first sensory restaurant, created by renowned French chef Paul Pairet. The restaurant only seats 10 people daily, offering a 20-course, four-hour five-sense dinner. If you, Mr. President, wish to dine here, you must book at least three months in advance and submit a 50% deposit. On the evening of your meal, someone will contact you, and you will meet at the Bund 18 location. A private van will then transport you to the secluded restaurant... Alright, Presidents, today's restaurant exploration by Xiaolin officially begins! The van is here!"
On his phone, Ning Xiuyang came across a restaurant review video by a food vlogger named Xiaolin, and couldn't help but take a look out of curiosity.
"I've heard of this restaurant. Our boss made a reservation once, but something came up and he couldn't go, so he didn't get his deposit back," Bai Xiaoji said with a laugh as he listened to the audio playing on Ning Xiuyang's phone while driving. He then sighed, "You have to book a meal three months in advance? Are they trying to get a dragon's meat?"
Bai Xiaoji pursed her lips, seemingly finding it hard to understand the lives of the wealthy.
He then glanced at Ning Xiuyang in the rearview mirror and asked, "Where are we going to eat?"
Ning Xiuyang didn't even look up. He lightly tapped the purple hidden treasure chest that appeared above the video, then smiled slightly and said, "Let's go to No. 18 on the Bund."
