Chapter 450: Sis-in-Law, You're So Beautiful
The sky had already darkened, but New York City remained brightly lit. As the world's top metropolis, encompassing finance, commerce, and politics, it never truly differentiates between day and night. During the day, the streets are bustling with traffic, clogged between towering skyscrapers; at night, the city is awash with neon lights and drink-fueled revelry, and streetlights reveal bikini-clad girls in fishnet stockings everywhere.
In this big city, the hundred-thousand-plus sports car Zhou Yuwen drove seemed somewhat unimpressive. Zhou Yuwen took Lu Wanting for a spin around the outskirts of New York City in his Lamborghini.
Lu Wanting seemed quite fond of Zhou Yuwen's new car. Zhou Yuwen was curious and asked if she had never been in one before.
Lu Wanting laughed, saying of course she had.
"But their driving skills might not be as good as yours, and they didn't have your guts."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuwen felt a bit embarrassed. He indeed had a hard time braking earlier, and with different speed limits inside and outside the country, Zhou Yuwen accidentally accelerated to two hundred—at that speed, it felt like he could take off at any moment.
Although Zhou Yuwen was invigorated by the drive, Lu Wanting in the passenger seat turned pale, too anxious to move, fearing they'd end their trip right there.
But after driving for a while without incident, she couldn't help but sneak a glance at the composed Zhou Yuwen next to her.
Seeing Zhou Yuwen calm and composed, even when reaching speeds of two hundred, yet managing the car with mastery, Lu Wanting was deeply drawn to him.
Indeed, the speed was frightening, but the thrill was real too.
Lu Wanting felt as though her heart couldn't keep up with her body, and was left behind.
Once the car came to a stop, Lu Wanting broke into a cold sweat from fear but simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief and joked with Zhou Yuwen.
While studying abroad, she had friends who bought sports cars, but truthfully, driving this fast was a first.
Such a comparison.
Lu Wanting found her friends purchasing sports cars to be wasteful.
Zhou Yuwen merely smiled after hearing this and said, "There's no choice; some things that are others' dreams might not be attainable in their lifetime, while some things others don't desire are easily within reach."
"I might be lucky to experience things I couldn't before in this lifetime."
The low ground clearance of the Lamborghini offered a subtle sensation when driving slowly on the highway.
Lu Wanting said Zhou Yuwen was doing very well.
"You're just like me. Although my father is wealthy, I'm ultimately a girl, and the help he can offer is limited. Your current lifestyle, I might never experience in my lifetime."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuwen chuckled gently and said, "Not necessarily."
"Girls and boys are ultimately different, and our country is now in a period of developmental advantage. You've chosen to develop in our country; who knows what the future holds."
At this point, Zhou Yuwen looked at Lu Wanting and said, "Xiao Yong cousin still has quite a bit of potential."
Lu Wanting was taken aback by Zhou Yuwen's words, then lowered her head somewhat guiltily.
She didn't know why she felt guilty.
Perhaps because Zhou Yuwen hit on Lu Wanting's dilemma; she truly considered Peng Xiaoyong.
But it wasn't because she liked Peng Xiaoyong.
It was out of practical consideration. Peng Xiaoyong was Zhou Yuwen's cousin, and Zhou Yuwen himself showed great potential. As long as Peng Xiaoyong was willing to humble himself, Zhou Yuwen would likely lend him a hand, then compared to directly marrying a rich person, this truly was the best choice.
And now, Zhou Yuwen unexpectedly brought up this.
Lu Wanting suddenly felt like Zhou Yuwen saw through everything.
Zhou Yuwen merely smiled and said, "Xiao Yong cousin is a good guy."
"Sister Wanting, you really could consider it."
"I'll think about it."
Obviously, Lu Wanting was reluctant to discuss these matters with Zhou Yuwen.
The two went for a spin after five in the afternoon; Su Qing was already exhausted from the day-long flight and went to rest at the hotel.
Zhou Yuwen didn't have much time to rest.
He took Lu Wanting on a tour for over an hour and then found a place to have a simple meal, before heading to the world's largest luxury store for shopping.
No choice, such is the dilemma of having too many women.
Since getting off the plane, Zhou Yuwen had received dozens of phone calls.
Among them, Zheng Yanyan called the most, like a chirping little sparrow, constantly bombarding him with messages on WeChat.
"Honey, did you go to New York?"
"Honey, did you really go to New York!?"
"Honey, why didn't you take me to New York with you!"
Honestly, at this moment, Zheng Yanyan was really a little crazy.
After all, it's New York!
The world's number one city!
Zheng Yanyan can't imagine, if she took a photo at a hotel atop a skyscraper in Manhattan and posted it on social media, how many of her old friends and acquaintances would envy her!
First came the endless curiosity and questions, followed by demands for items.
She sent Zhou Yuwen several Hermes and LV bags.
Zhou Yuwen was quite speechless, expressing, "I'm not your personal shopper; if you want to buy something, come buy it yourself."
"Then why didn't you take me?"
"If you want to come, I'll give you half a study abroad, just come over to accompany Su Qing."
"I don't want to."
Zheng Yanyan chuckled, expressing she wouldn't go to accompany Su Qing; she wanted to accompany her husband.
"If I leave, won't you be lonely, honey?"
