However, not long after going upstairs, Su Bai came back down.
Because the bowls and pots hadn't been washed yet.
So, under Sun Le Yan's murderous gaze, Su Bai washed the plates and steamer.
He promised to deliver them to the gate for Sun Le Yan later so she could go to work.
Only then did she withdraw her magical powers!
“Bye! See you tonight.”
“Humph! See you tonight.”
Sun Le Yan stepped on the gas, and the car gradually drove away from the cottage.
Back in 701, Su Bai.
Suddenly found himself bored.
Everyone else was at work, and he had neither work nor a part-time job.
He could only sit here and stare blankly.
“Forget it, I'll send a message to Butler Chen and have him send a car and some luggage.”
Su Bai thought for a moment.
He felt that these two things were relatively important at the moment.
After all, he wasn't a fortune-teller anymore. If he wanted to go out, he would need a car to go anywhere.
Luggage was even more essential, definitely needed.
He sent a message to Butler Chen casually.
Just as he was about to put down his phone.
Ding-dong!
A message popped up, from the program team.
It basically informed all the guests to gather on the cruise ship after work tonight.
The purpose was to meet the new guest who hadn't come yesterday but had called.
Meanwhile.
In the observation room, Du Hai Tao was also explaining to the live audience.
A new guest was going to join the Heartwarming Cottage family.
Due to being a late addition, they would be a day behind in terms of getting to know the other guests, so the program team had specially arranged a cruise ship dinner.
This couldn't help but make many netizens look forward to it.
...
In the cottage.
“Well, now I have something to do.”
Su Bai understood the program team's arrangement, and coincidentally, the butler also replied.
【Okay, young master, should I deliver it to the program team's Heartwarming Cottage?】
“No, I'll pick it up myself later.”
Originally, Su Bai meant for the butler to deliver it.
But since he had a mission tonight, he might as well go back home, drive a car, and go directly there.
At the same time, he could also pick something up from home!
“Alright! That's settled.”
Having made a decision, he didn't hesitate.
He glanced at the time, it was almost noon.
After a simple meal, he left the cottage and took a taxi home.
Time flew by.
Around eight o'clock that night.
In front of a luxurious cruise ship at a certain port in Shenzhen.
“Oh wow, it's a medium-sized cruise ship.”
Su Bai rushed to the scene in his Aston Martin. He never really cared about whether his identity was exposed or not.
Naturally, he wouldn't deliberately choose any specific car or hide his identity by driving a rundown vehicle.
No need.
It was just that when he said his identity, people simply didn't believe him.
Especially Sun Le Yan!
That girl, he was driving an Aston Martin today, let's see if she still believes him!
He looked up at the cruise ship chartered by the program team.
“I wonder if they've started already.”
The program team had set the time for eight o'clock sharp, but now it was obviously a little late.
All thanks to the old man for dragging him into a conversation.
It made him a little late.
After parking the car, he put the keys in his pocket and was about to get out of the car when.
“Hey! Su Bai!”
Suddenly, a familiar voice called out from the direction of the cruise ship.
Su Bai looked up and saw a boy walking ahead in the corner of the lower deck, followed by a group of girls.
He immediately noticed Sun Le Yan, standing in the middle, waving at him with a surprised expression.
Today, Sun Le Yan was wearing a bright green halter-neck dress.
It not only showcased her tall, curvy figure perfectly but also complemented her elegant and graceful demeanor.
Even Su Bai couldn't help but be mesmerized, finding Sun Le Yan particularly captivating tonight.
Sun Le Yan turned around and said something to the other girls.
The other girls smiled mischievously, nodded, and waved as they went up to the second floor of the cruise ship.
She pulled up her dress and ran towards Su Bai.
“Why are you here? I heard they said all the boys are gathering on the second floor, they're about to meet.”
Sun Le Yan explained with a smile.
Su Bai finally understood. It turned out that before the banquet, there was a separate meeting between the new male guest and all the female guests.
But he didn't mind too much, new guest privileges, after all.
He patted the car beside him.
“I drove home and got a car. Now, do you believe what I said before?”
“Hmm?!”
Sun Le Yan finally looked down and noticed the Aston Martin next to Su Bai. Although she didn't know much about cars, she couldn't possibly not recognize a luxury car brand or a supercar.
Let alone a super-luxury car, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
“This... is yours?”
“Who else's would it be?”
Su Bai shook the keys in his hand, smugly saying, “Don't be infatuated with me, I'm just a legend. Want a ride?”
However, the next second, Sun Le Yan looked at him with a disbelieving face.
“You rented it, right? Did you come so late because you were doing the paperwork for renting the car?”
“???”
Su Bai was speechless for a moment. “Rented?!”
“This is really mine! I already have it, why would I rent one?”
Sun Le Yan shook her head. “I don't believe it!”
“You must have spent all the money you made from being a fortune-teller on this. Unless you prove it.”
Su Bai was completely at his wit's end.
The car was right in front of her, yet she still didn't believe him?
And she asked him to prove it, how could he prove it? He couldn't carve his name on the car, could he?
He didn't bring the purchase registration certificate and copy.
“How am I supposed to prove it?”
“Then it's fake.”
Sun Le Yan smiled at Su Bai's flustered expression. Actually, she wasn't sure if the car was really Su Bai's.
But her intuition told her that no matter what the real reason was, she shouldn't expose him at this time.
After all, Su Bai deliberately drove a sports car here. Men depend on their clothes and cars to put up a front.
So, she rolled her eyes and pointed to the stall next to the cruise ship.
“Unless you buy me an ice cream, I'll believe you.”
“......”
Su Bai was helpless. He could clearly see that Sun Le Yan didn't believe him but didn't intend to expose him.
Fine, if she didn't believe him, so be it!
One day, he would drag this girl home and she would believe it!
“Ice cream, huh? Okay, I'll buy it! Little master, can't I even afford a single ice cream?”
“Hahaha! Let's go, let's go!”
Sun Le Yan smiled and then they both walked towards the vendor.
When they asked about the price of the ice cream.
“How... much?!”
“One hundred and thirty yuan? Sir, you're not joking, are you?!”
Su Bai was stunned. He didn't expect an ice cream to cost one hundred and thirty yuan.
“No, is this ice cream inlaid with gold or silver?!”
“You're a pure ice cream assassin!”
Sun Le Yan was also surprised. She pulled Su Bai's arm.
“Forget it, forget it, don't buy it, it's too expensive.”
“No, I already promised you, one hundred and thirty yuan is one hundred and thirty yuan, I'll buy it, get two!”
Although Su Bai wasn't willing to take such a loss, it didn't matter.
As long as he could eat it, two hundred and sixty yuan was nothing.
“Then I'll pay for it.”
Sun Le Yan pursed her lips and decided to pay. “You only have a few hundred yuan, and you're not working.”
“Save your money. I have money.”
Su Bai was stunned. He didn't expect Sun Le Yan to say this.
Then he smiled again.
“Oh, you're a little rich girl! Are you really going to buy it?”
“Otherwise, can I still cheat you out of your few hundred yuan?”
“Then boss, ten!”
“???”
Sun Le Yan's hand, which was about to reach for her wallet, froze slightly. No way?
You kid, you're trying to fleece me!
I'm buying you such expensive ice cream, not even a thank you, and you want to go even further?!
Pfft~!
However, Su Bai couldn't help but chuckle next. He waved his hand and said.
“Okay, okay, I wouldn't really let you buy ten, I'd be ripping you off!”
Before Sun Le Yan could react.
She saw Su Bai turn around again and say.
“Sir, twenty!”
“Charge it to the program team!”
Program team: ???
Immediately, the netizens in the live room burst into laughter!
