I Became the Male Lead's Stepmother After Transmigrating-Chapter 72 - You Treat, I Drive. We’re Even.

Xu Xiyao couldn’t be bothered with him. He politely bowed to Xiao Yuan and thanked her. “Thank you for your hospitality today.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan smiled. “You’re welcome. It’s his treat today.” She pointed at Lu Wanggui, who was standing beside her.

Reality proved that no matter how calm and mature Xu Xiyao was, he was still nervous when facing Lu Wanggui. He thanked him awkwardly. “Thank you.”

Lu Wanggui nodded. “It’s my pleasure.”

Xu Xiyao said goodbye politely and walked towards the direction of the subway. Wei Zihang hurriedly followed and waved to Xiang Xiaoyuan and Lu Wanggui. “Uncle Lu, Aunty, thank you for today’s meal.”

Lu Bei looked at his stupid face and silently rolled his eyes.

Once they left, only the three of them were left at the entrance of the restaurant. The summer heat was difficult to bear. Even at night, it was still so hot that it made people feel irritable, and beads of sweat were dripping down their foreheads.

She casually wiped it off and asked, “How do we leave? Is your car here?”

Lu Wanggui glanced at her. Because of the sweat, Xiang Xiaoyuan’s skin was even more translucent. There were no flaws to be seen, and her pupils were crystal clear.

It had been a long time since Lu Wanggui had seen such eyes. No, to be precise, he did not remember if he had ever seen such eyes.

“Assistant Gao drove the car back,” he replied.

The two of them walked in front. Lu Bei put his hands in his pockets and followed behind them. He lowered his head like a puppy abandoned by its owner. The three of them came to the spot where Xiang Xiaoyuan parked the car. After taking out the keys from her bag, she turned her head and asked Lu Wanggui, “Do you want to drive or should I?”

“Up to you.”

Lu Wanggui saw that she was fanning herself with her hands, and the corners of his lips curled up.

Xiang Xiaoyuan thought for a moment. “Then I’ll drive. You paid today, I’ll be your driver. Perfect!”

There was a smile in Lu Wanggui’s eyes. “Okay.”

After making up her mind, Xiang Xiaoyuan opened the car door as fast as she could and started the car’s air conditioner. The cold air blew against her face. She let out a comfortable sigh and thanked the air conditioner for saving her life on a hot summer day!

Lu Bei was still sitting in the back seat. Lu Wanggui opened the door of the passenger seat without any hesitation. This car was now exclusively Xiang Xiaoyuan’s, and it was filled with all the things she had bought.

Lu Wanggui did not have a deep impression of this car. It was probably a gift from a friend. After taking a look at it, he put it in the garage and did not think about it anymore. The initially empty car was decorated and had a warm and lively atmosphere. There were cute decorations, fresh scent of car perfume, and soothing music.

The sweat on her body gradually evaporated. The cool air blew on her and she was in the mood to liven up the dull atmosphere in the car. After such a long period of contact, she felt that she and Lu Wanggui could be considered acquaintances, so she chatted casually. “Did you ask Assistant Gao to send the flower baskets today?”

Lu Wanggui nodded. “Yes, what’s wrong?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan thought of the words on the banner of the flower baskets, and the corners of her mouth curled up. Her laughter was crisp and melodious. Lu Bei, who was sitting in the back seat, thought of the flower baskets that did not match his father’s temperament and could not help but smile.

“Nothing, I knew that my instinct was right.” Xiang Xiaoyuan smiled and asked, “Do you want me to stop when we pass by the door later? Do you want to take a look at those strange flower baskets? I remember that many neighbours who came to buy things would stop to take a photo when they saw those flower baskets. I think Big Boss Lu’s reputation will be ruined by those flower baskets.”

Lu Wanggui: “…”

He didn’t quite understand what Xiang Xiaoyuan meant.

When Xiang Xiaoyuan saw his expression, she said simply, “Lu Bei, did you take a photo? Show it to your father. He’ll understand after he sees it.”

Lu Bei didn’t know what was wrong with him. When he heard Xiang Xiaoyuan’s words, he obediently took out his phone from his pocket and showed the picture to his father. Only when his father took the phone did he wonder why he was so obedient to Xiang Xiaoyuan. He did everything she told him to.

But the phone had already been handed out, and he could not go back. Lu Wanggui flipped through the photos with great interest. He even zoomed in on them to take a closer look. There was not a hint of anger on his face. “Looks like I can’t let Assistant Gao arrange these things next time.”

“No,” Xiang Xiaoyuan stopped him. “I think Assistant Gao is doing quite well. A lot of people who passed by wanted to see the flower baskets up close before entering the shop to buy things. He’s attracting a lot of business for me. It’s a good mistake. It’s quite interesting.” f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

Lu Wanggui couldn’t help but laugh.

“By the way, I have a question that I’ve been wanting to ask for a long time. How much does a talented person like Assistant Gao get paid per month?” Xiang Xiaoyuan had been eyeing Gao Yuan for a long time. Even though she hadn’t been in contact with Gao Yuan for a long time, this person was very capable. Whether it was work or life, he arranged everything in an orderly manner. He was simply an all-rounded talent!
