After Trying To Pursue The Cold, Elegant Beauty. I Ended Up Being Flirted With Instead - Chapter 58.1

“This car, it’s yours now.”

A buzzing sound went off in Wen Zhu’s head, and she didn’t react for a long time.

…What did she just hear?

Hers?

This was a luxury car worth hundreds of millions!

Just because Li Zhiyun noticed she liked it before, she gave it to her?

Are all wealthy people this casual?!

The car key in her hand instantly felt scorching hot. She quickly tried to return it: “No! I can’t accept this!”

Wen Zhu pushed the key back, shaking her head repeatedly: “This is too valuable, I can’t accept such an expensive item for no reason.”

It was true that she had saved the Li family matriarch, but that favor had already been repaid, she couldn’t accept such an expensive car!

Li Zhiyun didn’t take it back.

She just looked quietly at Wen Zhu: “The ownership has already been transferred; it’s now in your name.”

“This was a birthday gift from my sister last year, but I haven’t driven it much.”

She looked sideways at the seemingly endless parking spaces around them, her tone a little helpless: “You see, there are already so many cars here that they’re almost running out of space. My sister is planning to buy a new car recently, and there really is no room in the garage.”

“Will you do me a favor, please, and accept it?”

Hearing this, Wen Zhu still felt she shouldn’t, her mind a mess: “But, this is really too valuable…”

She couldn’t earn this much even if she worked for ten years.

“Even if it’s valuable, in my hands it’s just a piece of scrap metal. If I give it to you, you can take me out for a drive, can’t you?”

“When that happens, I’ll have to hitch a ride in Qingqing’s car often. If you don’t take it,” Li Zhiyun’s voice lowered, “I’ll be sad.”

She had little expression on her face, but those clear eyes genuinely showed a hint of light that was about to dim.

Wen Zhu’s heart instantly softened.

Li Zhiyun’s words spun in her head.

Especially the last sentence, it was like a hook, instantly catching her heart.

Hitching a ride in her car… wouldn’t that mean more opportunities to spend time with Li Zhiyun?

This thought made her heart shamefully leap.

She looked at the car key in her palm, and then at Li Zhiyun’s earnest eyes.

“Then…” Wen Zhu took a deep breath, as if making a resolution, “I’ll borrow this car for now.”

She quickly added: “When there’s space in the garage later, I’ll return it to you. Otherwise, receiving such a grand gift from you, I’ll honestly feel terrible.”

Li Zhiyun didn’t argue with her interpretation.

Unsurprisingly, this garage would never have an empty space again.

When they were together later, she would have even less need to return the car.

Seeing that Wen Zhu finally accepted it, Li Zhiyun felt much better and added, “My sister has already paid for the maintenance and repair of this car for the next ten years. Just drive it, you don’t need to worry about anything.”

She curved her lips: “With a new car, do you want to go for a spin?”

“Yes, I do!”

This suggestion instantly ignited a small flame in Wen Zhu’s heart.

She still remembered the unparalleled feel of driving this car last time.

For several days afterwards, she had been itching to drive it.

Overwhelming joy clouded her mind. She almost subconsciously raised her arm, hooking it around Li Zhiyun’s neck, and announced with a smile, “I’ll take you for a drive!”

The moment the words left her mouth, Wen Zhu realized that this movement was too intimate, too much of a boundary crossing.

She snapped back to attention, the smile on her face freezing, and she was about to let go as if electrocuted.

But the next second, an arm suddenly wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer with a gentle force.

She was uncontrollably pressed into that warm embrace.

The distance between them instantly compressed to the extreme. That familiar, clean, and refreshing pear blossom scent enveloped her again, making her feel dizzy.

Li Zhiyun leaned down slightly, getting closer to her, so close that their breaths mingled.

Wen Zhu could even see her own flustered reflection in those eyes.

“Then I’ll have to trouble…”

Li Zhiyun’s voice was very low, carrying a gentle smile, and she slowly uttered the last few words.

“Big Sister Qingqing.”

Boom!!!

A burst of dazzling fireworks seemed to explode in Wen Zhu’s mind.

Li Zhiyun was the same age as her but two months younger.

This address, “Big Sister,” made her legs go weak, almost unable to stand.

Fortunately, Li Zhiyun’s arm was steadily around her waist, preventing her from embarrassing herself on the spot.

Her face was so hot she could fry a pancake.

She didn’t know how she got into the driver’s seat, nor how she started the car.

Even after the Bugatti smoothly drove out of the garage, her heart was still pounding as if it wanted to jump out of her chest.

Wen Zhu had to use almost all her strength to control her rapid breathing.

She secretly glanced at Li Zhiyun, who was quietly looking out the window in the passenger seat.

The thought she had suppressed surfaced again, growing wildly like weeds

Would a person… hug someone they didn’t like?

Could it be that Li Zhiyun also… liked her a little?

Her mind was a jumbled mess. Wen Zhu’s grip on the steering wheel was tight.

The phrase “Big Sister Qingqing” was like a spell, echoing in her ears repeatedly, keeping the heat on her cheeks from receding.

With her mind preoccupied, the car speed unconsciously slowed down.

The Bugatti La Voiture Noire had excellent performance, but in Wen Zhu’s hands, it was being driven at the speed of an elderly person’s mobility scooter, standing out awkwardly in the traffic flow.

A car in the next lane overtook them. The driver rolled down the window and shot a look that mixed shock and speechlessness, his eyes seeming to say: Sis, you’re driving a hundred million dollar sports car at this speed?

Taking it for a stroll?

One after another, the stares finally made Wen Zhu snap out of it.

She took a deep breath, stopped thinking about all the messy things, and stepped on the accelerator.

A powerful thrust immediately followed, and the streetscape outside the window rapidly retreated.

She simply drove onto the road leading to the suburbs, finally picking up the speed.

The wind whistled past her ears, and all miscellaneous thoughts were left behind.

In this moment, Wen Zhu’s eyes were only on the steering wheel and the road ahead.

She drove two laps on the empty suburban road until the heat in her heart was completely blown away by the wind. Only then did she feel refreshed and turned the car around, driving back into the city.

The car finally slowed to a stop below the old apartment complex where she lived.

A few days ago, she had felt Qiao Yu driving a Rolls-Royce was too ostentatious.

She didn’t expect that two days later, she would drive an even more attention-grabbing Bugatti back herself.

Wen Zhu carefully parked the car in an empty spot, turned off the engine, still feeling a sense of longing.

“Happy?” Li Zhiyun looked at her, seeing her eyes and brows relaxed, and asked softly.

“Very happy!” Wen Zhu’s eyes curved into crescent moons with a smile.

Driving this car was truly amazing! No wonder rich people loved buying sports cars!

The two walked side by side towards the apartment building.

But as soon as they reached her doorstep, the smile on Wen Zhu’s face froze.

A familiar figure was standing right outside her door, with her back to them, appearing somewhat forlorn.

When Pei Xiubai found out the address of the old, rundown apartment complex where Wen Zhu was staying, her chest was practically filled with guilt and distress.

Her Qingqing, after leaving the Pei family, was living in a place like this?

She rushed over immediately, pressed the doorbell for a long time, but there was no movement inside.

The neighbor’s door suddenly opened, and an older woman peered out, asking her warily who she was looking for.

Pei Xiubai gathered her emotions and said, “I’m looking for Wen Zhu, I’m her girlfriend.”

The woman’s eyes became meaningful when she heard the words “girlfriend.”

She had seen Wen Zhu’s girlfriend; she was very beautiful, tall, with a cool temperament. The two had been together every day recently, and she certainly didn’t look like the person in front of her.

The woman thought the person in front of her was also a girl whose feelings had been played with, and there was pity in her eyes. She just said Wen Zhu was out.

She kindly didn’t mention that Wen Zhu was out with another woman.

Pei Xiubai waited patiently at the door.

She looked at the tightly shut, slightly peeling iron door, a sharp ache running through her heart.

It was all her fault.

When Qingqing came back, she must apologize properly, take her home, and never let her suffer like this again…

She had been standing at the door for over an hour, her legs getting a little numb.

Finally, the elevator “dinged,” and the door slowly opened.

The figure she had been missing came out.

“Qingqing”

Pei Xiubai spoke with anticipation, her voice trembling with the feeling of having lost and found.

But the next second, she clearly saw that another person was standing next to Wen Zhu.

How could it be Li Zhiyun?!

Wen Zhu and Li Zhiyun stood side by side, seeming to have been chatting about something, both wearing relaxed smiles.

The sight stung Pei Xiubai’s eyes.

She felt her entire heart, even her soul, being torn to shreds at that moment.

“You…” Her eyes were red, her face showing complete hurt and disbelief. “How are you coming back together?”
