Boyfriend Power

After leaving the sales office, the three of them arrived at the parking lot.

Gu Xiaoman had already spotted Su Yang's Porsche when she picked them up earlier. Turning around with a smile, she asked, "I didn't drive here today. How many people can your car fit?"

"Four. There are two seats in the back, but they're a little cramped. You might have to bear with it."

Gu Xiaoman glanced at the car and smiled. "It's fine. We're not going on a long trip anyway. Let's go."

Gu Xiaoman also owned a Mercedes-Benz GLC300. At her age, being able to buy a car worth around four hundred thousand yuan with her own money already put her ahead of the vast majority of her peers.

That was why she was more sensitive to cars than Zhao Mengrou. She was also very fond of the 911 Turbo S.

However, buying a three-million-yuan car was still somewhat beyond her current means. Even if it was cramped, though, she was willing to ride in a car like this.

Su Yang smiled, walked to the car first, and opened the door. Once the three of them were seated, Zhao Mengrou asked, "What should we eat?"

"Do you have any recommendations? I'm a grown man, but I don't eat out much. I don't know what's good."

"Wait, let me check." Zhao Mengrou took out her phone and began searching.

"How about that Japanese barbecue place on Donghe Road? What do you think?" Zhao Mengrou turned to Gu Xiaoman in the back seat.

Gu Xiaoman was a woman, after all, so the back seat of the 911 wasn't too cramped for her. She rolled her big eyes thoughtfully and said, "Sure. I've eaten there once before. It tastes pretty good, but it's a little expensive."

"It's fine. What counts as expensive? Would Young Master Su, who can casually pay several million yuan, care about the price of one meal?"

Su Yang grinned when he heard that. "That's right, Sister Xiaoman. You don't need to save me money. Eat whatever you want. But are you sure you want to eat there?"

"Definitely."

"Then let's go!"

Vroom—

The engine roared, and Su Yang drove the two women toward their destination.

It was rush hour, and it was Saturday as well, so the roads were heavily congested.

After roughly forty minutes, the three of them finally arrived and parked beneath the Japanese barbecue restaurant Zhao Mengrou had mentioned.

As soon as they got out, several young men passing by cast Su Yang looks of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"Look, look! A goddess!"

"Where? Holy crap!"

"Who is that guy? How did he end up with two such stunning women?"

"Why isn't that guy me?"

"Look at what kind of car he drives before you talk. If you could drive that car, you could have beauties like these too."

"A 911? What's so special about that? There are plenty of luxury cars in Haicheng."

"Do you have one?"

"Well, I don't..."

"Then shut the hell up!"

Su Yang watched the crowd in the distance and secretly smiled.

It feels so good to show off without even trying.

The three of them walked side by side toward the entrance.

The words "Wangshan" were written in large characters on a dark wooden wall beside the entrance. A wooden shelf jutted out from the wall, displaying many empty wine bottles as decorations, while a staircase rose beside it.

The three of them went upstairs one after another. Inside, the overall atmosphere was elegant and grand, simple yet far from plain.

The decor was primarily Japanese retro style, combining various types of wood with dark marble walls. It looked incredibly upscale.

The restaurant was already filled with diners. Although there were many people, it wasn't noisy.

"Welcome. How many people?" A server politely walked over to them.

"Three. Are there any tables available?"

"It's the peak dining period, so you may need to take a number and wait in line."

"All right."

Su Yang went to the front desk and took a number. The server then led the three of them to a row of waiting seats.

The waiting area was almost full. All kinds of fashionable young men and women sat there, chatting and laughing.

"I should've made a reservation in advance." Su Yang looked at the crowd.

"It's fine. This place is usually packed anyway, and today is the weekend. Let's wait. We're not in a hurry." Zhao Mengrou took out her phone, opened Douyin, and began scrolling.

They had barely sat down when a young man in a casual suit approached from the distance.

He walked straight through the crowd to the three of them. Then he adjusted his collar and smiled politely at Zhao Mengrou. "Hello, miss. Could I add you on WeChat so we can get to know each other?"

"Huh?" Zhao Mengrou looked up with a frown. "Who are you?"

"I came here to eat too. I saw you coming upstairs from a distance just now. You seemed very elegant, so I wanted to meet you."

"Uh, thanks, but no. I don't like adding strangers on WeChat."

The man smiled without getting discouraged. "We've already exchanged a couple of sentences. We aren't strangers anymore, are we?"

"I really want to get to know you, miss."

Zhao Mengrou was about to refuse again when Su Yang gave her a look that said, Let me handle it.

He twisted his neck, stood up, and looked at the man in the suit.

The moment he stood, a fierce aura surged from him.

After all, he was now a genuine muscleman. His clothes concealed it somewhat, but the contrast in their overall physiques was still obvious.

His features were also rugged and masculine. Combined with his lean, powerful build, the aura he gave off was enough to intimidate most ordinary people.

He stared sternly at the man in front of him and spat out a single word: "Get lost!"

"Who are you?"

"I'll say it one last time. Get lost."

Looking at Su Yang, who was twice his size, the man in the suit suddenly felt uneasy. He had only intended to ask for Zhao Mengrou's WeChat and leave, but he hadn't expected Su Yang beside her to be so overbearing. Seeing Su Yang's fist, as big as a sandbag, he imagined it smashing into his nose. Wouldn't that crush my entire nasal bridge?

He swallowed, unwillingly sneaked one more glance at Zhao Mengrou, then turned and left.

Once the man was gone, Su Yang's expression changed, and he sat back down with his usual carefree grin.

"Sent him packing."

"Wow, Su Yang, you were unbelievably cool just now! Your boyfriend power was off the charts!"

Gu Xiaoman watched Su Yang with shining eyes as she spoke.

"Was I?" Su Yang smiled smugly. "I've seen plenty of guys like him. 'I just want to get to know you'? He's just a horny old pervert."

"Besides, you two came out because I invited you. He acted like he couldn't even see me. Isn't that looking down on me?"

After what had just happened, Zhao Mengrou's favorable impression of Su Yang rose uncontrollably again.

She looked at Su Yang and pretended to be calm as she said, "You looked pretty fierce just now."

"How else could I scare someone off if I wasn't fierce? A man has to be fierce when the situation calls for it. What kind of man hides behind a woman, right?"

"Exactly! I agree!" Gu Xiaoman winked at Su Yang.

Ding! Detected Gu Xiaoman's favorability toward the host has increased to 42 (familiar). Rewarding the host 388,000 yuan. The funds have been transferred to the host's bank account.

Su Yang smiled subtly when he heard the voice in his mind.

Gu Xiaoman really is different after work. She's clearly much more relaxed. I wonder what she'll be like after she gets drunk.

Half an hour later, the restaurant's announcement finally called Su Yang and the two women's number.

The server led the three of them inside and seated them at a four-person table by the window.

The two women sat together, while Su Yang sat across from them.

The server picked up three menus and handed one to each of them.

"Order whatever you want. Don't hold back."

"Even if you hadn't said that, I wouldn't have held back." Zhao Mengrou flipped through the menu with a smile.

The three of them each ordered several dishes that sounded delicious just from their names. More than ten minutes later, two servers pushed over a cart and began placing the dishes on the table one after another.

Looking at the dazzling spread of food on the table, Su Yang swallowed.

Japanese wagyu, Sanglier purebred black-pig ribs, French bone-in lamb chops, bluefin tuna belly, sea bream sashimi, foie gras with black truffle, langoustines, an eight-pound Boston lobster, hairy crabs, seafood tom yum...

He had barely eaten any of these things before. Although he could have managed to afford them if he'd really wanted to, he only made a few thousand yuan a month. There was no way he could spend an entire month's salary on one meal.

"Everything has been served. Enjoy your meal. If you need anything, press the service bell on the table."

Su Yang nodded. "All right, thank you."

As he spoke, Gu Xiaoman and Zhao Mengrou had already started placing some raw meat on the grill.

"By the way, weren't you going to drink?" Zhao Mengrou asked while picking up a lamb chop.

Before Su Yang could answer, Gu Xiaoman cut in. "What good drinks are there here? When you're at a restaurant, you should focus on eating, right?"

As she spoke, she blinked her beautiful eyes at Su Yang.

Su Yang nodded in agreement with a smile. "Exactly. If we're drinking, we should go to a bar. There's no atmosphere here."

Zhao Mengrou looked at the two of them and smiled helplessly. "Fine. You two decide."

Forty minutes later, the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill. Su Yang went to the cashier to pay the bill.

The total came to 7,755 yuan.

Ding! Detected that the host is in an excellent mood after enjoying a delicious meal. Rewarding the host 280,000 yuan in cash.
