Super Rich by Doing as You Please-Chapter 77: So, Is It Convenient, or Inconvenient?
By the time Xu Yun finished dealing with the car and returned to the office with Song Xiaowei, the workday was nearly over.
Song Xiaowei kept quiet and didn’t mention Xu Yun buying a car to any of their colleagues.
Meanwhile, Xu Yun was at his desk, chatting with Li Jinshu.
It turned out Li Jinshu had taken the day off to help Xu Yun buy things for his new home, and she’d been busy all day.
She had now bought pretty much all the daily necessities he needed.
Exhausted from her day, she was now sprawled on the sofa and sent him a summery selfie in a red strapless top.
[Li Jinshu: I’ve finished buying everything. There’s over five thousand yuan left. I’ve transferred it to you, so don’t forget to accept the transfer.]
Xu Yun immediately declined the transfer.
[Xu Yun: Use it to buy yourself something delicious. Thanks for all your hard work today.]
[Li Jinshu: Thanks, boss! You’re so generous!]
[Li Jinshu: By the way, I also bought some groceries. How about I cook a meal for you? It’ll be my first time ever cooking.]
[Xu Yun: Let’s not. I’d rather eat out.]
[Li Jinshu: What’s that supposed to mean? You think my cooking is bad?]
[Xu Yun: Some things are better left understood than said. It’s too awkward otherwise.]
[Li Jinshu: ...]
[Xu Yun: Alright, fine. I feel bad for you. I’ll come home for dinner, but I’ll probably be late.]
[Li Jinshu: Hmph. You want it now? Well, I’m not making it anymore.]
[Xu Yun: ...]
’Great. Now she’s mad.’
Xu Yun was about to send a funny picture to her when he suddenly got a message from Su Mu.
[Su Mu: Come down to the garage in a bit. We’ll leave work early. I need you to go somewhere with me.]
Xu Yun subconsciously glanced toward Su Mu’s office and replied: [What for? Are you secretly asking me out on a date?]
[Su Mu: I am. You in?]
[Xu Yun: Of course.]
A few minutes later, Xu Yun watched Su Mu walk out of her office, bag in hand, heading home early.
He waited at his desk for about ten minutes before getting up, clocking out early, and leaving the office as well.
Song Xiaowei had been keeping an eye on Xu Yun, so she quickly noticed what was happening.
Seeing them leave one after the other, less than ten minutes apart, she frowned, lost in thought.
Down in the parking garage, Xu Yun went straight to Su Mu’s car.
Su Mu smiled and asked, "No one saw you leave, did they?"
"No."
Xu Yun asked curiously, "What’s with all the mystery? Where are you taking me?"
"You’ll know when we get there."
The car drove on, eventually pulling into Jiangshang Mall.
"You brought me to a mall?"
"Mhm."
Su Mu got out of the car and said, "I still haven’t properly thanked you for yesterday. I’m free today, so I wanted to buy you a gift to show my appreciation."
"So, Sister Su, what are you planning to get me?"
He was always the one spending money on women; this was the first time a woman was spending money on him.
It felt... special.
Su Mu smiled. "You’ll see once we’re inside."
"Alright..."
Xu Yun followed Su Mu into the mall, thinking to himself, ’Please don’t let me run into Ning Qian. That would be way too awkward.’
’It’s not that I care, or that I’m afraid of her. Ning Qian would probably pretend she didn’t see me anyway.’
’But showing up right in front of her so brazenly with another woman feels a little inappropriate.’
After walking for a bit, they arrived at a Rolex store.
Xu Yun asked, "Don’t tell me you’re buying me a watch."
"Mhm," Su Mu smiled. "I noticed your wrist is bare. It looks like it’s missing a watch, so I figured I’d get one for you."
To be honest, Xu Yun wasn’t particularly passionate about wristwatches.
That was why he hadn’t bought one for himself, even after coming into money.
However, since Su Mu wanted to give him one, he was more than happy to accept.
They walked into the store side by side. A sales associate greeted them and routinely asked what they were looking for.
After all, the price range for watches can be vast.
As the saying goes, "The poor play with cars, the rich play with watches," which says it all.
Su Mu wasn’t about to buy something ridiculously expensive just to show off. After all, her money didn’t grow on trees.
She always gave gifts that were within her means.
She said to the associate, "We’re looking for a men’s watch, something in the 200,000 yuan range. A more understated style, please."
"Of course, right this way." The sales associate glanced at Xu Yun with a strange look in her eyes before leading them forward.
"Sigh..."
Xu Yun sighed behind her.
Seeing this, Su Mu smiled and asked, "What’s wrong? You think my gift is too cheap?"
"No."
Xu Yun said with a laugh, "I’m pretty sure she thinks I’m your kept man."
"But you’re not that pale."
Su Mu couldn’t help but laugh. "How about this? You can take my card later and pretend to pay for it yourself."
Xu Yun: "..."
With the sales associate’s help, Su Mu chose a Rolex "Chocolate" Daytona, model 116515, for Xu Yun.
The price was 232,000 yuan.
Su Mu was very satisfied seeing the watch on Xu Yun’s wrist. It looked great on him.
"This is the one."
Su Mu said to the sales associate, "No need to box it. We’ll take it now. Just ring us up."
"Of course, Miss."
After buying the watch, Su Mu and Xu Yun left the store.
Just then, Ning Qian was walking back from the restroom. As she passed the front of the store, she happened to run into them.
Xu Yun and Su Mu saw her at the same time.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
’Of all the people to run into...’
Xu Yun sighed internally. Just as he was about to take the initiative and say hello, Su Mu spoke first.
She smiled at Ning Qian and asked, "Xiaoqian, working today?"
Xu Yun was floored when he heard that.
’Su Mu knows her?’
"Hello, Miss Su."
Ning Qian replied politely, then looked at Xu Yun and asked with a smile, "Are you out shopping with your boyfriend today? He’s very handsome."
Xu Yun: "..."
"No, he’s not my boyfriend."
Su Mu gave the two of them a meaningful glance and smiled. "He’s my colleague. His name is Xu Yun."
"Oh."
Ning Qian smiled. "Well, I’ll let you two get back to your shopping. I shouldn’t keep you. I have to get back to my shift."
"Okay, goodbye."
"Goodbye."
With that, Ning Qian quickly walked away, fleeing the scene as if she and Xu Yun were complete strangers.
Su Mu took in the whole scene, smiling to herself.
She teased him deliberately, "What’s wrong? See a pretty girl and get all flustered?"
"Is she a friend of yours?" Xu Yun asked, testing the waters.
Su Mu replied, "Not really. We just met last time I went to her store to buy some clothes.
You like wearing Gucci, don’t you? You can go to her store and buy from her from now on."
"Yeah, I’ll check it out when I get the chance."
Xu Yun said calmly, "Let’s go. Time to take me home."
"Jinshu said she has to work overtime today and won’t be home for dinner."
Su Mu said, "Why don’t you come over to my place? I can whip something up for us."
"Ah?"
With a look of anticipation, Xu Yun asked, "Would that be convenient?"
"It’s convenient if you’re only coming for dinner."
Su Mu knew exactly what he was thinking. She smiled. "But it’s not convenient if you’re planning to take the opportunity to do... other things."
"Er..." Xu Yun trailed off.
’So... does that mean it’s convenient for me, or not?’
