Deities Are All Just My Food

Chapter 2345 - 1050: An Even Greater Surprise? (Part 2)

...

Lin Baici flipped through WeChat, then browsed the Origin Forum.

The news about the Harbor Island Ghost Ship and Dragon Palace Island was still mainstream, making it hard for him to find posts about Qin Palace, so he had to search using keywords.

Although his mission was just to garrison and he wouldn’t enter the Divine Ruins, Lin Baici still wanted to gather more information.

Better safe than sorry.

Half an hour passed just like that, and Jiang Yitong and Feng Ting came back, chatting and laughing.

"Have you made up your mind?"

Lin Baici twisted open the cap of a water bottle and handed it to Jiang Yitong.

Jiang Yitong felt warmed by this small gesture from Lin Baici and took a sip: "I’m planning to buy a 718!"

Feng Ting felt envious, wondering when Lin Baici would open a bottle cap for her.

"What’s your reason?"

When Lin Baici previously bought a car, Ji Xinyan had explained these car models to him.

He knew that from a positioning standpoint, the 718 was somewhat inferior and was just an entry-level sports car.

"Actually, I really like the Cayenne!"

Jiang Yitong sat down: "Uh, I can’t say I love it, I just know the most about it!"

Lin Baici chuckled.

It was evident that Jiang Yitong often showed off with a Cayenne and had familiarized herself with the car’s features.

Seeing Lin Baici’s teasing smile, Jiang Yitong blushed, feeling quite embarrassed.

But she quickly regained her composure, since after all, they had been frank with each other and the time they’d spent together amounted to playing cards all night long.

"There are too many people posting about the Cayenne on Xiaohongshu, so I just want to buy a 718, besides, sports cars are ultimately more stylish!"

Jiang Yitong was honest; she was buying a car from the perspective of showing off.

The female salesperson sitting beside them heard this and was dumbfounded.

Talking to your boyfriend like that?

Aren’t you afraid of being looked down upon?

"Then go for the 718!"

Before Lin Baici’s words even fell, Jiang Yitong started to hesitate: "But the 718 isn’t practical. If I buy the Cayenne, I can use it for grocery shopping and family needs, and in the future, I can take our kids to school!"

"Yitong, do you have some misunderstanding about Boss Lin’s wealth?"

Feng Ting giggled, under the guise of teasing Jiang Yitong, actually praising Lin Baici: "When you have kids, it will be at least five or six years later!"

"By then, Boss Lin will have already gotten you a new car!"

Jiang Yitong touched her belly, thinking if luck wasn’t on her side, she might be a mother in ten months.

After accepting such an expensive gift from Lin Baici, Jiang Yitong had stopped considering terminating the pregnancy.

Besides giving Lin Baici a child, she didn’t know how else to reciprocate this ’affection’!

Let’s just call it affection?

"Why think so much? Just be happy now!"

Lin Baici glanced at the time on his phone: "Quickly choose the model and configuration; otherwise, you’ll hit the peak traffic and the road will be too congested."

Jiang Yitong also wanted to be quick, but she simply couldn’t rush.

She was indecisive even over the color of the car paint, finding each one quite nice, and there were features she didn’t need much but still wanted, though they were quite expensive.

When she finally finished selecting, Jiang Yitong looked at the price.

She was dumbfounded.

It was over three hundred thousand more, enough to buy a BMW 3 Series.

She started to remove some optional additions.

The female salesperson, wanting to make more sales, was enthusiastically promoting various configurations.

For such an expensive car, it must be done in one go.

Some configurations I might not use, but I can’t go without them.

Seeing that it was already past five o’clock and Jiang Yitong still hadn’t settled, Lin Baici directly took the first quote she’d selected.

He wasn’t even interested in looking at it, he just made the decision: "This is the one!"

"No, it’s too expensive!"

Jiang Yitong hurriedly reached out to grab the quote.

"This is it. When can we pick up the car?"

With a flick of his wrist, Lin Baici dodged Jiang Yitong.

"It will probably take three to four months!"

The female salesperson was thrilled, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lin Baici.

This was too generous!

I like guys like you, rich and forthright.

Can we exchange WeChat?

"So long?"

Lin Baici furrowed his brows.

"If you’re buying a stock car, it surely would be faster!"

Lin Baici looked at Jiang Yitong: "Are you okay with this timeframe?"

The female salesperson’s heart skipped a beat, worried that the cooked duck would fly away, and she quickly reassured Jiang Yitong: "The average wait time for our company’s clients is like this."

"This is because every step from production to assembly to inspection is strictly controlled, aiming for perfection, ensuring that every client owns a work of art."

"I can accept it!"

To be honest, even if she got the car now, Jiang Yitong wouldn’t dare to drive it on the road.

Such an expensive car, a little scratch would be heartbreaking, so she plans to find a driving coach during this time to hone her driving skills.

Lin Baici swiped the card, paid the deposit, signed the contract, and just like that, the car was settled.

In three months, Jiang Yitong will have the first car of her life.

"Sir, can I add you on WeChat? If you have any requests, you can notify me immediately, and I’ll help solve them for you."

The female salesperson, holding her phone, asked Lin Baici.

Lin Baici waved his hand, declining: "Add her instead!"

The female salesperson’s expression remained unchanged, but Jiang Yitong could tell she was definitely disappointed, and at the same time, Jiang Yitong came to a deeper understanding of Lin Baici’s charm.

Young, wealthy, extremely handsome, and in great shape, a perfect killer for women!

Upon exiting the dealership, Feng Ting very sensibly prepared to leave: "Boss Lin, I have an appointment tonight, so I’ll head out first!"

With Jiang Yitong around, even though Lin Baici was paying, she could have a nice meal, but that was it, the relationship couldn’t progress further. Leaving first would leave a good impression of sensibility.

"You’ve been running around for so long, let’s have a meal together!"

Lin Baici invited.

"I won’t intrude on your time together!"

Feng Ting smiled: "Invite me another day when you’re free!"

Feng Ting went to the roadside, hailed a taxi, and left.

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

Lin Baici sent Feng Ting a big red envelope.

"Western or Japanese food?"

Jiang Yitong prepared to splurge: "You choose, I’ll pay!"

Lin Baici wasn’t interested in either: "Why not eat at home?"

"Uh..."

Jiang Yitong’s heart skipped another beat, did Lin Baici want to confess to her mom? Then she realized she was overthinking it.

At the same time, she felt a bit self-critical.

Felt like she was being suspicious for no reason.

She thought that after dinner tonight, they would surely return to the hotel and battle it out all night long.

Lin Baici gave such a big gift, logically, she should be appreciative and provide emotional value in return.

Lovers ought to understand their position.

But when Lin Baici said this, Jiang Yitong knew she misunderstood him, he didn’t have that kind of thought at all.

Lin Baici was just afraid that it would be awkward sending Jiang Yitong back to the hotel after dinner, so he decided this way.

On the way, Lin Baici first called Wang Fang.

"Aunt Fang, I went to Haijing Normal University today to see my childhood friend and ran into Yitong, so I invited her home for dinner, make a bit more for dinner!"

Lin Baici’s tone was calmly devoid of the nervousness usually present when facing one’s mother-in-law.

...

By nearly 7 o’clock, the two of them returned home.

As soon as Jiang Yitong entered, she received a fierce glare from her mom.

When Lin Baici went upstairs to freshen up, Wang Fang immediately scolded: "What are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you not to come?"

"He invited me!"

"Even so, you shouldn’t have come!"

Wang Fang rudely: "Lin Baici is a good person, don’t let that hinder my job!"

"I know, I’ll leave after dinner!"

Jiang Yitong felt frustrated.

Don’t I know if Lin Baici is good or not?

I not only know he’s good, I’m also aware of how significant he is!

Haven’t seen each other for a few days, didn’t you notice your daughter has changed?

Dinner was bountiful.

Jiang Yitong, looking at Lin Baici on the left, her mom on the right, suddenly thought that living like this as a family of three isn’t bad.

What a pity, after all, she is just a mistress!

After they finished eating, Jiang Yitong got up to say goodbye: "I’m leaving!"

"It’s so late already, you’re going back?"

Lin Baici frowned.

"Uh..."

Jiang Yitong glanced at her mom.

"If you don’t mind, you can sleep in the guest room!"

Lin Baici, after running around all day, wasn’t physically tired, but mentally exhausted: "If you leave, I have to drive you, it’s quite a hassle!"

"Or, you drive my car?"

Without waiting for Jiang Yitong to speak, Wang Fang rejected first: "She got her driver’s license when she graduated from high school and hasn’t driven since!"

Wang Fang, knowing her daughter’s habits well, worried she might seize this chance to show off and really attempt to drive away.

Wang Fang didn’t know how much Lin Baici’s car costs, but it must be expensive, and if damaged, their annual salaries combined might not cover it.

"Mom, am I your daughter or not?"

Jiang Yitong pouted, a bit unhappy.

Lin Baici hadn’t even said anything, why are you so on guard around me?

Am I not your biological child?
