Chapter 85: 85, Too expensive, can’t afford it (one more)_1 Chapter 85: 85, Too expensive, can’t afford it (one more)_1 Inside the car, Jian Qing glanced at the man driving beside her. His chiseled profile was stunningly handsome, and the corners of his deep red lips were slightly upturned, making her unable to look away.
The phrase “beauty is a feast for the eyes” emerged in her mind.
“Xiaojing, have I ever told you that you are dangerously good-looking?” Jian Qing propped her head on her hand and, unable to help herself, chuckled.
Quan Jingwu raised his brow nonchalantly, “Thank you for your compliment.”
He really knew how to accept flattery. Jian Qing pursed her lips, “Narcissist.”
Distinctive villas were scattered amid lush trees. One could feel remote from all the urban hustle and bustle when standing in the midst of the peaceful and vast surroundings.
Although Shijin Haoting occupied a large area, it only had about thirty villas. People who could afford a property here usually were not of simple backgrounds.
The car moved smoothly while Jian Qing watched the retreating scenery from the window with a touch of surprise crossing her delicate face.
Was his villa the one hidden on the inside?
Before she could think any further, Quan Jingwu took a turn, bypassed the main gate, drove to a side path at the end of which was an underground tunnel.
The car stopped at the entrance. Quan Jingwu rolled down the window, stretched out his hand and pressed the sensor at the side of the iron gate. The tightly closed door slowly retracted from both sides.
Jian Qing’s eyes sparkled, fascinating!
The instant the car drove in, the previously dark garage lit up following a “beep” sound, revealing a whole range of models, even a few limited-edition ones.
Her gaze lingered for a few seconds on a silver-purple sports car. She remembered there was only one of this car worldwide. When it was first introduced in the magazine, Bai Jue wanted to purchase it, but someone beat him to it, which upset Bai Jue for a few days.
It turned out that Xiaojing got there first.
After parking the car and unbuckling his seatbelt, Quan Jingwu followed her gaze and noticed the silver-purple sports car.
“Do you like that car?”
Jian Qing turned her head, looked at him, and smiled mischievously, “I do, will you give it to me?”
“Yes, it’s a gift for you,” he replied without hesitation.
Jian Qing’s eyes flickered, “Such generosity?”
“Only for you,” he responded.
“Never mind, I don’t like it that much anymore.”
“Then how about, I give myself to you?”
Jian Qing twitched the corner of her mouth, “Too valuable, I can’t afford it.”
She unbuckled her seatbelt, pushed open the car door, and got out.
Quan Jingwu chuckled softly, followed her, took her hand and said, “Let’s go.”
Following his pace, Jian Qing looked around her with amazement. She noted that if this man lived in the period of the Republic of China, he would definitely be a wicked capitalist.
After stepping out of the elevator, the scene before her reminded Jian Qing about the manor in M Country.
The hollow-carved, flower-patterned iron gate carried a heavy European style. The high-ceilinged vestibule and the imposing front door were full of regality. There was a small fountain in the front yard sprinkling clear water droplets under the sun. Glancing over, she saw a large flower sea nearby. The faint fragrance of mixed flowers in the air relaxed her mind.
“It’s beautiful!” Jian Qing exclaimed.
It was as pleasant and comfortable as the manor where she used to live in M Country.
“If you like it, just live here. Rent-free, all-inclusive, what do you say?” Quan Jingwu whispered enticingly.
Jian Qing gave him a side glance, “Why do I feel like you’re always trying to lure me away?”
“You’re absolutely right.” He nodded cheerfully.
From the lush bushes not far away, there came a rustling noise. Suddenly, a nimble white figure darted out like an arrow straight towards Jian Qing, acting fiercely.
“Snowball!” Jian Qing’s eyes lit up.
Snowball: A beauty, it’s a beauty coming.
Quan Jingwu frowned, stretched out his strong arm, held Jian Qing in his arms, and dodged the robust Snowball.
“Awo—”
Snowball did not manage to jump into Jian Qing’s arms as he wished. He whimpered in regret, his bright, black eyes staring at Jian Qing nestled in Quan Jingwu’s arms, seemingly reproaching him.
“Beauty, the master is stingy, too stingy.”
