Ye Chen saw Li Yangyang’s surprised look and said, "How about this: if you don’t want the car, I can talk to them and give you cash instead."
Li Yangyang quickly shook her head, "No, that’s not it."
"Since you still want the car, then it’s yours. If you refuse again, I’ll get angry."
Ye Chen didn’t give Li Yangyang another chance, directly telling her this was the final outcome.
"Alright, since you’ve received the car, the matter is resolved, and I have to go now."
As Ye Chen turned to leave, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, "By the way, if anyone dares to bother you because of this, you can come directly to me."
With that, Ye Chen was about to leave.
Li Yangyang was stunned, biting her lip and called out, "Wait a minute."
Ye Chen asked, "Is there anything else?"
Li Yangyang felt quite confused at the moment.
Ye Chen said, "The car has been given to you, so there’s no reason to take it back. If you still don’t want it, you can smash it."
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Li Yangyang understood that if she kept refusing, Ye Chen might get upset.
Li Yangyang opened her mouth as if to say something, but Ye Chen didn’t give her the chance to continue.
"This is my compensation for you. You can’t expect me to return it. Besides, I’m not lacking money, so the car I promised to give you naturally won’t be taken back."
"So, I can accept the car, right? Can I invite you to dinner?"
Ye Chen thought this silly girl would refuse again, but unexpectedly, she wanted to dine with him.
This request was appealing.
Li Yangyang continued, "Yesterday, I crashed your car and not only did you not blame me, but you also gave me a car. So I’m inviting you to dinner as a thank you."
"Just dinner?" Ye Chen asked in return.
He had a playful smile on his face.
Seeing Ye Chen’s expression, Li Yangyang blushed and said, "Of course, just dinner, nothing else."
Ye Chen teased, "Don’t worry, I’m not like other men. Giving you a car is something you deserve; I have no other thoughts."
For some reason, upon hearing this, Li Yangyang felt a little disappointed.
"Alright, since it’s just dinner, you pick the place, and I’ll come over then."
Li Yangyang thought for a moment and said, "How about tonight at Xinxin Barbecue in front of our school?"
Although Li Yangyang offered to treat, she was really strapped for cash at the moment.
A barbecue meal would cost three to four hundred, which was already a big expense for her.
Li Yangyang nervously watched Ye Chen, worried he might think she was being stingy.
Ye Chen smiled lightly and said, "Sure, no problem. I’ll be there on time."
For Ye Chen, he used to frequent such barbecue places often, and the taste of the barbecue was entirely different from that of a large restaurant.
That feeling could never be found in a fancy restaurant.
Besides, with a beautiful woman treating, there was no reason to refuse.
"Are you two going in my car, or driving yourselves?" Ye Chen asked.
"We’ll take your car."
Since Xinxin Barbecue was quite a distance from the school, Li Yangyang directly said so.
Looking at the sports car, Li Yangyang felt it would be too conspicuous to drive it now, so she said, "Then I’d rather take your car."
Beside her, Song Wei had long felt the unusual relationship between the two, considering herself the third wheel.
Moreover, Ye Chen was really handsome, and she felt a bit under pressure with her looks compared to the two of them.
Song Wei said, "Yangyang, why don’t you go by yourself? I won’t join."
Li Yangyang pulled Song Wei back, "No way, you have to come with me."
After all, the rumor had spread in school that a rich guy gifted her a car.
If she went with Ye Chen now, it would confirm the rumor.
With Song Wei tagging along, everything would be easier to handle.
Having no choice, Song Wei accompanied Li Yangyang to the school entrance.
Seeing Ye Chen’s Jili car, both Li Yangyang and Song Wei were stunned.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Get in the car, welcome to DiDi."
Song Wei incredulously said, "You can’t be driving DiDi, can you?"
Ye Chen nodded, "Why not?"
Song Wei looked puzzled, and Li Yangyang was equally baffled.
Why would someone who gifts sports cars be driving for DiDi?
"Actually, driving for DiDi is my pastime, it allows me to chat with all kinds of people. I think it’s great."
"Alright then, should I show my support?" Li Yangyang laughed.
"Of course, just remember to give me a five-star review later on."
While driving, Ye Chen chatted with the two girls, and they quickly became familiar with each other.
Song Wei was surprised at how warm and engaging this handsome guy was, not giving her any cold shoulder despite her not-so-good looks.
Soon, Ye Chen drove them to Xinxin Barbecue.
Li Yangyang promptly gave Ye Chen a five-star review.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving a five-star review, activating the third five-star praise star, and gaining the Divine-level Director.]
Yet another five-star review activated, making the car gift well worth it.
The three of them arrived at the barbecue place.
This barbecue spot was very popular, mostly frequented by students in the area.
The three of them found an empty table and sat down.
Li Yangyang awkwardly said, "Ye Chen, isn’t this place a bit too low-end?"
Ye Chen shook his head, "Not at all, I think it’s great. Here, it feels like I’m back to my university days."
Li Yangyang smiled; even though Ye Chen was wealthy, he didn’t have any airs, and being with him felt very comfortable.
Then they ordered food, and as the dishes came, the three chatted while eating.
Ye Chen chatted with the two ladies, feeling as if he were back in his college days. It was a wonderful feeling.
At first, Song Wei was a bit reserved.
After all, Ye Chen was someone who could casually give away a Ferrari.
But as the conversation went on, she got into it and began to relax.
Song Wei started probing into Ye Chen’s background for Li Yangyang.
Like what kind of business he was in, and who made up his family...
Song Wei seemed quite nosy. Fortunately, Li Yangyang was sensible, stepping in if things went overboard to stop Song Wei from speaking too freely.
Just then, a voice came from behind.
"Yangyang, it’s you guys."
Li Yangyang turned around and saw a flamboyantly dressed girl walking over.
Since they were in the same class, Li Yangyang smiled and greeted, "Tian Mengmeng, you came for barbecue too?"
However, Li Yangyang’s brow noticeably furrowed.
Tian Mengmeng was the type who was very materialistic and gossipy.
Luckily she had brought Song Wei; otherwise, she couldn’t imagine how Tian Mengmeng would exaggerate this story.
Tian Mengmeng looked Ye Chen up and down.
She paused for a moment, then seemingly recalled something and tentatively asked, "This handsome guy must be the rich guy who gifted Yangyang a sports car, right?"
