My Life with Narration

Chapter 428 - 442: You Can Drive on This Crappy Road?

"Hey, don’t be so stingy, we just took a glance, it’s not like we saw anything. Talking about money hurts feelings, you know!"

On the open space at Zao Slope, three women were sitting around a small table, drinking beer and cold drinks, enjoying freshly cooked dishes and barbecue.

As for Su Qing, he retied his apron and started cooking again. After all, he had only prepared food for two, and with two more unexpected guests, it definitely wasn’t enough. Besides, being the only man and after what just happened, it was a bit awkward. It was better to keep busy cooking on the side.

Hearing this, Shen Yi immediately shot back, "Hmph, you’re generous, yet you won’t even pay? Besides, you think you can just look at my man for free? Cut the crap, pay up, pay up!"

These two, one divorced and one single, couldn’t exactly ask to have a look back even if they wanted to. Besides, she didn’t want to look at others anyway. Weighing their options, she felt more and more cheated.

Hearing this, the landlady’s pretty face turned slightly red, her cheeks heating up, feeling a little embarrassed. After all, that was someone else’s man. Granted, he wasn’t fully naked, but she did see like ninety-five percent. It was quite a bargain without spending a penny.

Though she’s usually quite bold, like a racing champion, her skin was still a bit thin. Being called out like this made her a little self-conscious.

"How about... How about I give you this motorhome? With the cost of the car, modifications, renovations, and everything inside, it’s worth more than two million. Would that be enough?"

Before Shen Yi could speak, Tang Nan exploded, "No way, absolutely not! What money? You think we’re paying for sex? Little Su is a police officer. Comrade Shen, I advise you, as a police officer’s partner, not to knowingly break the law!"

"You have the nerve to say that. Do you think you can just look for free?"

"Paying would make it sleazy. Looking without paying is just appreciating art. Besides, I was looking at Pleasant Goat. Do I owe you for that? I don’t think you own the rights to that, do you?" Tang Nan argued irrationally, then turned to Su Qing with a grin:

"Su, I can’t believe you’re in your twenties and still so innocent. Not bad. Little Yi definitely is the older woman dating a younger man, it’s been confirmed!"

Su Qing: ...

Well, what could he say? He couldn’t possibly explain that Shen Yi had specially prepared CP Tea. You could even see Lazy Goat if you took off her pants!

In situations like these, the best choice for a man is to work more, talk less, stay away from that small group. Otherwise, the more he says, the more mistakes he’ll make, not to mention the risk of upsetting his wife.

"You guys... Fine, you’re ruthless. So tell me, why are you two here? Don’t tell me it’s a coincidence!" Shen Yi crossed her arms, looking at the two of them. Her chest looking even more impressive, her eyes filled with scrutiny.

She was certain the two of them weren’t here by chance. After all, one lived in the capital and the other was busy with kids. Plus, this place was remote; how could they suddenly gather here?

Given that, the situation became quite interesting, their behavior rather intriguing.

Upon hearing this, Tang Nan and the landlady exchanged glances, then simultaneously burst into laughter, "Hehehe, of course, we’re here to see you!"

Shen Yi rolled her eyes, "Yeah, right, what’s there to see about me!"

"True, mainly to laugh at you, and to see if this older single woman finally found someone, deceived some kid’s body, and played with someone’s emotions. Of course, we’re also here to check on Su. I’m afraid you might eat him alive. Su, are you alright? If you’re wronged, tell Sister Nan, I’ll stand up for you!"

Su Qing: ...

Shen Yi: ...

That’s the advantage of being young. Even though clearly, her man was more advantaged, in the eyes of Tang Nan and the landlady, he seemed to be the one suffering, while Shen Yi gained from it.

Hearing this, Su Qing just wanted to point at them and shout, ’I suggest you mind your own business!’

Finally being able to take advantage every day, yet you all say I’m the one losing out. Don’t I know whether I’m at a loss or not?

"Haha, well, Sister Nan, Sister Wen, have a bite. I’ll be done soon!" Hearing this, Su Qing dared not reply, quickly taking out ingredients and starting to cook outside the RV, where the grill was already filled with chicken wings, kebabs, oysters, sausages—an abundant variety.

Seeing this, Tang Nan and the landlady laughed even more heartily, while Shen Yi felt a bit disheartened. Their cozy time together turned into a group of four, although it was livelier, it was somewhat disappointing.

Perhaps seeing through her mind, the landlady picked up a skewer of grilled meat, took a bite—it was tender and juicy: "Mmm~~ I didn’t think Su had such skills. If he ever stops running a company, he could definitely support you with just this skill.

Come on now, your pout is obvious. What, annoyed we’re interrupting your alone time? Missing one day isn’t a big deal. It might be great, but don’t do it every day. Su is still young; he shouldn’t wear himself out too soon. It doesn’t matter much for a woman, but you should take care of yourself!"

Wen Nanqing, having been through it herself, understood it well, leaving Shen Yi blushing with just a few words.

"I... I didn’t..." Shen Yi sat in the chair, head down, her voice as quiet as a mosquito’s.

Seeing this, Tang Nan widened her eyes in disbelief, "Oh my gosh, this is unbelievable. Can love change a person this much? My dear Wen, was I like that before too? Look at Little Yi, when did she ever have such an expression?" With that, she turned to Su Qing, both shouting and giving a thumbs up, "Su, you’re something else. How did you do it in just a few days? What kind of magic potion did you feed her?"

In response, the landlady slapped the table and laughed wildly: "Hahaha, the word ’feed’ is used just right!"

The three of them: ...

Can this broken road be driven on?

Half an hour later, Su Qing finally finished busying around, and the four of them sat down at the table.

"Cheers to you, Xiao Su, for all your hard work!"

"Exactly, shout out to Xiao Su for the hard work!"

The two women raised their glasses, and seeing this, Su Qing also poured himself a drink and downed it.

"Nan Ge, why are you here? And Wen Jie, weren’t you supposed to be back home?" Su Qing asked.

"I told you, I’m here to visit you two. Since you’ve just got together, I came to join the fun. As for Qing Jie, she just wants to slack off!" Tang Nan explained with a smile.

The company over in the capital is also on vacation. As one of the bosses, she naturally takes the opportunity to rest, mainly because she has been deliberately retreating from the entertainment circle for the past two years, otherwise, how could she have this much free time?

Nowadays, she at most participates in one variety show and either a TV series or a movie a year. The rest of her time is mainly spent on attending some important galas, so her schedule is relatively relaxed.

She had completed most of her workload for the year by the first half, so she’s very free now. Mainly because the entertainment industry is hard to deal with. Luckily, she has the landlady and Shen Yi’s company backing her, which at least means there’s some capital behind her. Although it’s not as powerful as the giants, it’s more valuable than most, which is why she’s been doing okay in recent years.

With this layer of protection, she can avoid the usual hidden rules, drinking, and the like.

And the landlady just simply wants to relax. Ever since having children, she rarely gets to go out on her own.

The four of them ate and chatted, and although the two women occasionally teased Shen Yi, Su Qing could see that they were genuinely happy for the two of them and that they have a good relationship.

"Oh, what’s this? Xiao Yi, when did you get this golden bracelet? Looks like an old piece!" the landlady noticed the horseshoe bracelet on Shen Yi’s wrist by chance and asked.

Hearing this, Shen Yi immediately perked up, deliberately raising her wrist to show off: "Oh, Su Qing’s mom found out we were together and insisted on giving me this family heirloom. It was non-negotiable!"

"What? You guys have already met the parents? This fast! Wait, don’t tell me you’re pregnant? Planning to get married this year? Have a boy, so I can wait for him for twenty years, and we’ll avoid in-law conflicts!" Tang Nan exclaimed in shock.

Shen Yi: "Get lost, you old cabbage, waiting twenty years when you’re almost in menopause. How could I want you? Even if you threw yourself at me, it wouldn’t work!"

"Exactly, stop spouting nonsense. They haven’t been together that long, how could she be pregnant? But Xiao Yi, you’ve already met the parents! Looks like you’re ahead of Little Tang!" The landlady held Shen Yi’s hand, admiring the bracelet on her wrist, clicking her tongue in surprise.

The bracelet’s significance isn’t ordinary; it mainly represents the attitude of Su Qing’s family elders.

Su Qing didn’t say anything to burst her bubble, just letting her be happy.

The four drank and chatted, talking under the dim light until half past ten in the evening.

"Alright, we’ll leave the RV for you two. The two of us will sleep in the tent!" Tang Nan waved her hand grandly.

"No, no, no, Wen Jie, you two take the RV. Xiao Yi and I will be fine outside!" Su Qing responded quickly.

The tent is nice too, with a mosquito net, waterproof and insulated, with an air mattress underneath. But how could he let the two girls sleep here while he takes the RV?

"Tsk, who wants to squeeze with you in the tent? Wen Jie, let’s all three of us head to the RV; let him and Da Huang sleep in the tent!" Shen Yi’s pretty face flushed as she spat.

If Su Qing shared a tent with her, he certainly wouldn’t be well-behaved at night.

"Who wants to squeeze with you? Just get in the car. Qing Jie and I like staying in the tent. We’re out camping; what’s the point of the RV? If so, I might as well stay home!" Tang Nan pushed the two along.

The landlady chimed in to support: "Exactly, we’re here for the tent. Don’t fight us for it!"

Clearly, the two of them genuinely loved the tent. After much unsuccessful persuasion, Su Qing and Shen Yi had no choice but to retreat to the RV.

"Qing Jie, can you do it? Whether or not we watch the broadcast is all on you!" In the tent, Tang Nan rubbed her hands excitedly, looking at Wen Nanqing, who held a tablet.

"Relax, my car has monitoring equipment; it’s long connected. Today, we’ll definitely get your revenge!"

"Remember to save a copy for me!"

"No problem!"
