Spending a Hundred Billion for a Beauty's Smile

"H-hubby~" After saying it, Wang Meiqi lowered her head, her face full of bashfulness.

Lu Yuan planted an adoring kiss on her forehead and said, "All right, honey. By the way, it's pretty inconvenient for you to go back and forth, so I want to buy you a car."

Wang Meiqi refused. "There's no need. Having your car at home is enough."

Lu Yuan said seriously, "Be good. If you don't listen, I won't want you anymore. I want to spend some money and have a little fun right now. You wouldn't want your husband to be bored because he can't spend his money, would you?"

In the end, Wang Meiqi couldn't win the argument, and Lu Yuan took her to a dealership.

There happened to be a dealership near Tomson Riviera, so they chose to walk instead of driving. Halfway there, a fine drizzle began to fall from the gloomy sky.

Lu Yuan thoughtfully took off his jacket and draped it over Wang Meiqi's shoulders. She couldn't help asking, "You gave me your jacket. Aren't you cold?" "No. Seeing you warm makes my heart warm, from the inside out."

"Sweet talker!"

The two walked side by side and arrived at the dealership a little over ten minutes later.

The dealership was huge, with two or three floors and more than three hundred cars on display. A long-legged car model stood in front of each one.

The sales staff were all handsome young men and beautiful women, ranging from eighteen or nineteen to twenty-five years old.

Lu Yuan called into the showroom, "I want to buy a car. Can someone show me around?"

The salespeople looked up at what Lu Yuan and Wang Meiqi were wearing, then listlessly lowered their heads again. It wasn't that Lu Yuan was badly dressed; they simply didn't recognize the domestic brand and instinctively took him for a loser.

Some of the salespeople played Honor of Kings, while others watched videos. Not one was willing to pay Lu Yuan any attention.

Just then, a man in a suit and leather shoes came in from outside with his arm around a woman with an internet-celebrity face. Putting on a lavish air, he asked, "Do you have any of the latest models to show me?"

"We do, Young Master Xin. Is it for you to drive, or are you buying it for your girlfriend?" The salespeople who had barely acknowledged Lu Yuan swarmed over with enthusiastic smiles, as if they had just seen their own fathers.

Lu Yuan understood now. They thought he was poor? But that was fine. His favorite thing was spending money like dirt, throwing so much of it around that people called him daddy.

Lu Yuan took out his phone, found Wang Meiqi's Alipay account, entered his payment password, and transferred her a sum of money.

"Alipay received 52.1 billion yuan!"

The sound of money pouring into the account and the voice announcement rang throughout the dealership showroom.

Everyone present looked at one another and asked curiously, "Whose phone is that?"

Some people in the crowd had felt their phones vibrate just then, but when they took them out, they found nothing but app notifications and ads. Disappointed, they all put their phones away.

When Wang Meiqi took out her phone, she saw Lu Yuan's conspicuous transfer, and her heart raced. Astonishment written all over her face, she looked at him. "Lu Yuan! W-why did you transfer me so much money?"

Lu Yuan was very displeased to hear that. "Calling me that doesn't do my transfer justice. You call me hubby at home, but not when we're out?"

"H-hubby. From now on, you have to let the whole world know that I, Lu Yuan, am your husband."

Lu Yuan rubbed Wang Meiqi's head. "That's more like it!"

Everyone in the dealership turned to look at the two of them. What the heck was going on? Had that 52.1 billion just now been transferred by this ordinarily dressed man?

Young Master Xin glanced at Lu Yuan and teased, "Bro, that's a great ringtone you've set. Maybe it really could fool people in the slums, but not here. Everyone here is rich, and we're not blind. We can see what you're wearing. There's no point showing off here; you're just giving us something else to laugh at."

The other wealthy car owners all nodded in agreement. None of them could tell what brand Lu Yuan was wearing, and they all assumed it was some no-name label.

Lu Yuan had been annoyed with Young Master Xin for a while. He had arrived first, yet the dealership hadn't served him first and had gone to attend to Young Master Xin instead. Lu Yuan had no intention of indulging him and said grandly, "How do you know that was a ringtone on my wife's phone?"

"As it happens, I'm going to transfer my wife another 131.4 billion yuan. Do you want to stand behind her and watch the whole time to see if the money reaches her Alipay?" Lu Yuan made an enormous show of it. He wanted everyone to know that he, Lu Yuan, was the number one tycoon here.

Young Master Xin refused to accept it. He didn't believe Lu Yuan could really transfer 131.4 billion yuan. With a cold snort, he stood behind Wang Meiqi and stared intently at her Alipay account. Quite a few spectators also looked toward her phone.

Lu Yuan deftly initiated another transfer to Wang Meiqi's account.

"Alipay received 131.4 billion yuan!"

Wang Meiqi was so startled that she nearly dropped her phone. Young Master Xin's eyes went wide, and he rubbed them several times before he could be sure he wasn't seeing things.

Thud! Unable to bear such a tremendous mental shock, Young Master Xin fell straight to the floor and passed out.

Some of the others present were nearly scared unconscious too, but the sound of Young Master Xin hitting the floor quickly brought them back to reality. They hurried into action. "Someone's fainted! Quick, press his philtrum!"

After everyone had fussed over him for a while, Young Master Xin slowly came to. There was no contempt in his eyes when he looked at Lu Yuan again. His face was blank, and he kept repeating the same words: "Y-you're so rich!"

At that moment, Lu Yuan confessed his feelings to Wang Meiqi sincerely. "Today is our first day together. The 52.1 billion and 131.4 billion mean that I love you for a lifetime, and I'll never leave you."

Wang Meiqi nestled bashfully in Lu Yuan's arms and murmured a sweet promise of her own. "All right. From now on, you'll earn the money to support the family, and I'll be beautiful as a flower."

The female salespeople and customers present were all moved.

A hundred and eighty-three and a half billion yuan—he had spent hundreds of billions just for a confession. Most importantly, Lu Yuan was also very handsome, the kind of man who, in their eyes, could ruin them for anyone else with a single glance.

"Boo-hoo, why do all the good men belong to someone else?"

"Darling, sooner or later, I'll give you 52.1 billion and 131.4 billion too..."

"You might as well wash up and go to bed. On your salary of seventy or eighty thousand a month? Maybe in your next life!"

"How romantic! I'm so jealous of that girl. If only I were her."

The salespeople and car models in the dealership all flushed bright red with shame. It turned out that the poor kid in their eyes was the number one tycoon here. How ridiculous that they had just been fawning over Young Master Xin. Compared with him, Young Master Xin wasn't worth a fart.

Lu Yuan took Wang Meiqi to a quiet seating area and sat down. Crossing his legs without a care, he surveyed the room and declared imperiously, "Remember this: in Magic City, and even in the whole country, no one is richer than me, Lu Yuan. The next time I come, will you all know how to serve me?"
