- Chapter 109 - An Adorably Explosive Surprise
Awakening in the gentle embrace of dawn.
“Good morning, my love.” Xia Zhennan shifted slightly, planting a morning kiss on Zhan Niantong’s cheek.
“Good morning, hubby!” Still lazily keeping her eyes closed, the little woman enjoying the cozy morning finally opened her eyes, greeted by a familiar handsome face. Instantly, she beamed a radiant smile and leaned forward to return the kiss on his cheek.
Waking up to see you first thing in the morning and falling asleep with you as the last sight at night-that’s the simplest happiness, yet the most fulfilling.
“Darling, I have a surprise for you today!” Xia Zhennan scooped his wife up entirely, seating her on the bed, speaking with a mysterious air.
Zhan Niantong’s curiosity was piqued. “What surprise?”
“If I tell you, it wouldn’t be a surprise anymore,” he continued to tease.
“Alright, then I’ll just look forward to it!” She thought it made sense; since it’s a surprise, it should be mysterious and not revealed, or it wouldn’t achieve the effect of surprise. This way, there’s an added sense of anticipation.
Thus, a new day began with this wonderful expectation.
But, oh dear, both of them stepped into the elevator to pick up the little guy, yet the surprise was still nowhere to be seen.
Could it be that her dear husband was just pulling her leg?
Unable to resist, she asked again, “Hubby, when is this surprise supposed to happen?”
Sigh, it must be said, this family is quite impatient. The day had barely started, and she was already anxious.
“Sweetheart, don’t be so impatient. Surprises always come unexpectedly. The more you think about it, the less likely it is to appear. When you stop thinking about it, it suddenly shows up,” Xia Zhennan advised with a cryptic smile. But the smile on his lips seemed less like one of helplessness towards her impatience and more like something else.
“Alright!” She admitted she was too eager. This beautiful day had just begun, and since the surprise was inevitable, she might as well wait patiently.
But, oh dear, just as she resolved not to think about the surprise, stepping out of the elevator, why did a Beetle appear before her? And not just any Beetle-a super-sized pink one with big, bright eyes and a shell that was adorably curved, as if welcoming them. It was simply too cute to handle.
Beside the Beetle stood a man dressed in a crescent-white casual outfit. His head was shaved, one foot planted on the ground, the other bent resting on the Beetle’s black wheel, striking a pose he thought was perfect. Upon seeing them, he flashed a dazzling smile, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth, and tossed over a set of keys, calling out, “Boss, sister-in-law, here’s your wedding gift.”
Zhan Niantong was completely stunned by this big surprise, standing there dumbfounded as she gazed at the adorably explosive Beetle in front of her. Her eyes were practically sparkling with pink bubbles, and her cherry-like lips were agape, too shocked to speak. It was her dear husband who gently took her hand and placed the keys in her palm, his rich voice teasing lightly from above, “Wife, you’re so mesmerized you’re speechless!”
Finally snapping back to reality, Zhan Niantong turned to her beloved husband, her expression still dazed and silly. Her adorable demeanor was a perfect match for the pink Beetle. “Eldest senior brother, is it really for us?”
“Of course!” Xia Zhennan couldn’t resist ruffling her silly little head. He seemed to have a particular fondness for his wife’s endearing, kitten-like demeanor. He often found himself treating her like a cherished pet, unable to resist her overwhelming cuteness.
“Hehe!” Zhan Niantong was now fully awake, absolutely delighted with the surprise. She had long admired this style of car but had never wanted to burden her grandfather or spend her meager income on it. Now that this gift had practically fallen from the sky, she couldn’t help but be overjoyed!
Filled with happiness, she naturally wanted to express her gratitude to the gift-giving senior brother. “Thank you for the gift, eldest senior brother. We really love it.” As for a return gift, well, since her senior brother’s wedding wasn’t far off, she and her dear husband would make sure to give him something special then.
Jun Wuya, basking in the glow of love these days, looked absolutely radiant. His mood was as pleasant as could be, treating the boss and his wife like deities. Without them, he wouldn’t have a wife or two clever and adorable children.
“Niantong, don’t be too moved. I only paid for the car body. As for everything else, like choosing the car, getting the plates, insurance, and even the fuel card, your husband took care of it all. He loaded it with plenty of money, so you can just enjoy driving your cute little car around.” Jun Wuya dared not take all the credit, knowing that a significant part of the effort came from the boss.
Oh, so it was all premeditated! But in her current state of emotion, she decided not to dwell on her husband’s secretive car selection.
Just as she turned her face to say something like “thank you” to her husband, he quickly explained, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to keep it from you. I originally planned to take you to choose the car yesterday afternoon, but Gong Xiaoqiao wanted you to go shopping with her, and you agreed without asking me if I had any plans. So, I had to go pick it out myself. I hope you’re not upset and that you like the Beetle I chose.”
Silly husband, thinking she’d be angry-how foolish! She was too happy to be upset. “I’m not angry; I’m thrilled! I couldn’t be happier!”
“Sorry, I didn’t even know you had a driver’s license and could drive,” he admitted regretfully. He had only learned this from Jun Wuya. Earlier, when he decided to open a branch in America and planned to have Yixiang manage it, he thought Yixiang might not have much time to drive them to and from school. So, he considered buying a car for his wife and enrolling her in a driving course. Little did he know she could already drive, and quite well too. According to Jun Wuya, she could even race cars, thanks to her friendship with her second senior brother, who was a racer.
“It’s not your fault; I just never mentioned it!” Zhan Niantong, understanding the situation, didn’t blame her husband. If anyone was at fault, it was probably her for never showing she could drive. “Anyway, we have a lifetime to slowly discover things about each other. That way, there’ll be more surprises.”
“True,” he agreed. “I’ll take my time discovering all the surprises you have in store.”
The couple exchanged a knowing smile, as if reaching a new understanding.
Xia Zhennan wrapped his arm around his wife’s shoulder and suggested, “How about we take this car to pick up Xiaomai?”
A new car should be taken out for a spin, and although his tall frame seemed a bit mismatched with the cute little car, he was eager to see his wife behind the wheel. He considered riding in the adorable Beetle a delightful experience.
This suggestion was exactly what she wanted. With her own car, her desire to drive was like an arrow ready to fly. If she had to wait any longer, she’d be stifled. So, she agreed with great enthusiasm and joy, “Sure!”
“Go try it out,” he encouraged, seeing her excitement and impatience. He led her toward the cute little car, completely forgetting about the bald-headed friend who had come early to deliver their wedding gift.
Seeing the couple getting into the car and settling into their seats without calling him, Jun Wuya hurried over, feeling anxious. “Hey, don’t leave me behind!”
The shameless man lowered the window, raised an eyebrow, and said, “We’re going to pick up our little darling. This car is too small to fit you. Catch a cab back, see you!”
Then, with a whoosh, the car sped off, leaving the poor bald-headed friend behind, stomping and cursing them as heartless. There were clearly two seats in the back, and he was willing to humble himself by sitting there, yet they didn’t take him along. How infuriating!
A certain excited little woman drove the car onto the road. As she approached a red light, she smoothly brought the car to a stop. Remembering her eldest senior brother’s frantic expression earlier, she felt a twinge of guilt. “Honey, leaving eldest senior brother behind like that, isn’t it a bit… unkind?”
“Not at all. Right now, he’s probably eager to get home and cozy up with his wife and kids. Following us would be out of his way, so taking a cab is better for him.” Listen to that-such a noble-sounding excuse, as if he was doing Jun Wuya a favor.
Zhan Niantong, convinced by her husband’s reasoning, nodded in agreement. Her small pang of guilt vanished, and she joyfully drove the cute little Beetle towards the Gong Family estate.
As soon as the car entered the Gong Family’s gates, a little dragonfly eager to see her parents rushed over. But upon seeing the mini Beetle, her attention was entirely captured by the car. She couldn’t even see her parents anymore. “Wow, it’s so beautiful!”
The little one’s reaction made Zhan Niantong very satisfied. Look, her taste was quite similar to the little one’s, wasn’t it?
“Do you like it?”
Oh, Zhan Niantong, that question was really unnecessary! Didn’t you see your little darling’s eyes turning into big red heart shapes? She was practically ready to plaster herself onto the Beetle.
The little girl smiled so widely her eyes turned into slits. “I love it! It’s so beautiful! Mom, is this our family’s new car?” Her sharp eyes had already spotted her dear parents getting out of the car.
“Yes, from now on, Mom will drive this car to take you to school every day.”
“Awesome, awesome!” Xiaomai jumped up and down with joy. “It’s so great! Going to school in this car will be super cool. My classmates will definitely be jealous of me.”
Being a child, she loved showing off among her peers. The first thing she thought of was the envious looks from her friends, and she reveled in it!
After jumping around, she started circling the cute little car, admiring it, touching it, hugging it, and playing to her heart’s content.
Meanwhile, Zhan Niantong was pulled aside by Gong Xiaoqiao, who was eager to know the fate of the scanty erotic lingerie she had gifted yesterday.
Covering her mouth and giggling, her voice was as bright as today’s sunshine. “Hey, did you guys get wild last night? Was it passionate?”
She dared to ask? This mischievous little girl must have eaten bear heart and leopard guts to dare to tease her like this. Humph!
“Gong Xiaoqiao, I haven’t even confronted you, and here you are, delivering yourself to me!” Oops, you might have misspoken. You’re standing on Gong Xiaoqiao’s turf, so technically, you’re the one who delivered yourself.
“Hey, you can’t think like that. I was just considering for you! Absence makes the heart grow fonder, don’t you think the lingerie was perfectly timed?” Gong Xiaoqiao was completely unfazed by her friend’s sarcasm and was quite proud of her handiwork!
“Considering my foot.” Zhan Niantong wished she could split open her best friend’s head to see if it was filled with mud or tofu.
Seeing her friend’s flustered expression, Gong Xiaoqiao knew the answer. Last night must have been a passionate evening, which made her even more excited. “Did you really wear it last night? How was it? Did your old man turn into a wolf and devour you?”
“You still laugh.” Provoked by her friend, Zhan Niantong retaliated with her claws. “If you want to know, buy a set yourself and seduce your Xing Chengyi.”
The mention of Xing Chengyi made Gong Xiaoqiao react dramatically. She jumped up and shouted, “Zhan Niantong, what nonsense are you talking about? I’m not like that with Captain Xing, okay?”
“What do you mean, ‘like that’? What did I think? Did I think anything?” With the tables turned, Zhan Niantong felt much better, especially seeing Miss Qiao’s face turn red. She wickedly smirked and raised an eyebrow at her. “Or is it you who’s thinking something?”
“I… I…” The usually articulate Miss Qiao suddenly became a stuttering mess.
Look at that-there’s definitely something fishy going on here!
