Chapter 102:102, very cute in green

Translator: 549690339

Zhong Kai mustered up the courage to ask, “Princess, do you not like this gift?”

He had thought long and hard, even researching online and asking many friends.

Finally, everyone suggested he give a pet as a gift, saying that, besides jewelry, girls should like pets the most.

But Zhong Kai felt that a pet, like a kitten, puppy, or bunny, too adorable for a spoiled and domineering little princess like Mo Weiyi. Lizards, chameleons, and spiders seemed too far-fetched.

After considering all options, the confused man was eventually convinced by the owner of a turtle shop in the pet market to give it as a gift.

Although he found the idea of gifting a turtle somewhat shocking…

Mo Weiyi, rubbing her chin with a slender thumb, thought for about a minute and then blinked, suddenly smiling, “I get it!”

She picked up the small, exquisite box and laughed, her cat eyes curving like crescents, “You can go back, tell Xiaobai I really like this gift.”

Zhong Kai was overjoyed, “Thank you, princess!”

“Wanwan, guess why Xiaobai would give me two little turtles?” Mo Weiyi called Su Wanwan while getting a makeover at the club.

“Are they green turtles?”

“Yes, they’re green and surprisingly cute.”

Su Wanwan coughed a few times, “To survive, you should always carry a little green with you?”

“You don’t understand, Xiaobai probably thought that the turtles are easy to raise, so they’re suitable pets for me. Besides, turtles live for a very long time, symbolizing that my love with Xiaobai will last forever. Just right, there are two little ones, male and female, representing Xiaobai and me.”

“Regardless of what Xiaobai gives, even cow dung can be praised by you as a fresh flower!”

Mo Weiyi laughed happily, “So, tonight, I will spend a romantic evening with Xiaobai at the hotel. You come over to my place tomorrow, helping me name the turtles.”

“I can’t make it these days. I need to make up for the third subject course.”

“…Alright then.”

At that time, Su Wanwan had just finished class, and as soon as she hung up the phone, Coach Pan Hui asked, “Miss Su, are you going home? I can give you a lift.”

“No need, I’ll take the shuttle bus.”

“Don’t you live near Imperial Court Villa? It’s on my way. Plus, it’s going to rain soon, and I see you didn’t bring an umbrella.”

Su Wanwan looked up at the sky.

Wasn’t it sunny? Where did the rain come from?

Could his excuse be any more lame?

“I’m going to the city center to have dinner with a friend.” Pan Hui adjusted his glasses as if to explain, “Don’t overthink it, I’m just giving you a ride on my way.”

The more he said that, the harder it was for Su Wanwan not to misinterpret his intentions.

After all, Pan Hui was indeed a little too enthusiastic on WeChat, often urging her to attend classes and questioning her reasons for taking leave…

“You’re going to the city center?” A chubby instructor nearby suddenly spoke up, “I can’t drive my car today because of vehicle restrictions. Can I hitch a ride?”

“Sure.” Pan Hui turned to Su Wanwan, “Let’s go together.”

Su Wanwan blinked her eyes.

If she refused now, it would seem a bit pretentious. After all, they weren’t the only ones in the car. The shuttle bus would take another half an hour, and taking a taxi would cost a lot…

After weighing the options, Su Wanwan got into Pan Hui’s red Lingdu car.

Once inside, she was on her phone at the back seat, while the two at the front were discussing news about Nancheng.

“Miss Su.” The chubby instructor suddenly turned back, “Have you seen the news about the wealthy third-generation?”

“What news?”

“It’s about the grandson of the richest man, Huo Yuanshan. He molested a minor at a club last night, got beaten up, and ended up with three broken ribs. The whole incident was exposed on Weibo.”

Su Wanwan was stunned.

Wasn’t Huo Yuanshan’s grandson Xing Yuyun?

She immediately opened Weibo on her phone to search.

As expected, shocking headlines were everywhere:

[Wealthy Grandson Suspected of Molesting Underage Girl!]

[Fresh Trouble at Mansion, Wealthy Grandson Hospitalized After Beating on Day After Wedding! ]

[Scandals Among Wealthy Third Generation: Moral Decay or Twisted Human Nature?]

As she read, Su Wanwan heaved a sigh of relief, glad that she had been cheated. First playing with two women, and now causing such a scandal, Xing Yuyun truly showed that appearances can deceive.

Just as she was engrossed in reading…

“It’s raining.”

Su Wanwan looked outside the car window and indeed, it was.

A light rain had begun to fall outside, and the sky had turned gloomy.

So, Pan Hui did mean well by offering her a ride…

Su Wanwan felt a bit embarrassed.

She had misjudged him…

Due to the rain, they had to slow down. By the time they entered the fourth ring, it was already six in the evening.

Huo Jingshen left work punctually at five-thirty every day and would be home soon.

Previously, she always assumed that business elites would be like Xiao Yebai, always overworking and wining and dining, swamped with work.

Unexpectedly, Huo Jingshen proved to be the exception. Since their marriage, she had hardly seen him work overtime, and he rarely socialized.

“Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.” His call came in, his voice still commanding, “Where are you?”

Su Wanwan glanced outside, “National Road.”

“Okay.” Saying that, Huo Jingshen hung up.

Su Wanwan didn’t think much of it, but Pan Hui asked, “Is your family worried?”

“…Yes.” Su Wanwan replied, somewhat perfunctory.

Worried my foot! It’s just his routine check on her whereabouts.

When the chubby instructor was dropped off, the night had fallen and the rain showed no sign of stopping.

Finally, when they reached Tianquan Royal Court, Su Wanwan said, “You can stop at the entrance.”

The Tianquan Royal Court could be considered an indicator of the wealthy in Nancheng, and even renting a house there was quite expensive. After giving it some thought, Pan Hui drove directly into the complex..
