I Am a Designated Driver

After the boy ran off, Su Yang called out the window, "Guys, please stay safe. Don't crowd the road, there's a lot of traffic here. Wait on the sidewalk for a bit, and once I park the car, you can take your time taking pictures, okay?"

"Sure, sure! You're quite a nice guy, handsome!"

The crowd of streamers quickly scattered towards the sidewalk. Only then did Xu Zilin, who had been blocked at the back of the crowd, get a chance to see the person inside the car.

Upon seeing him, she froze for a moment before quickly running over to the passenger side, shouting with a face full of excitement, "Su Yang!!"

Su Yang naturally saw Xu Zilin running over. He nodded and smiled, "Zilin, long time no see!"

"It really is you!! You bought another car!"

"Yeah, wait for me a second."

"Okay."

Soon, a black Audi S4 pulled out of a parking spot ahead, and Su Yang pulled in to take its place.

"Thanks, man!" Su Yang thanked the guy in the S4.

"No problem at all! Wait for me a sec, handsome, I'm going to go park my car inside the mall."

"I'll wait for you. I'm parking here and won't be leaving for a while."

"Sounds good." The guy drove the S4 quickly forward, then turned right into the MixC underground parking lot.

After parking the car, Su Yang opened the cool butterfly doors and stepped out.

At this moment, it wasn't just the streamers surrounding him. A crowd of young men and women on the street had also gathered around to admire the Bugatti Tourbillon in front of them, currently the only one of its kind in all of China.

"Wow, this car is so cool."

"How much does this car cost?" a sweet-looking girl asked the tall guy next to her.

"I'm not entirely sure, probably around fifty million."

"That expensive??"

"What did you expect? It's a Bugatti!! There's no such thing as a cheap car from this brand."

"This is the kind of thing where if you're not born with it, you'll never have it in your lifetime."

"Really?"

"Do you think an average person working their whole life could earn fifty million? Taking a step back, even if you really made that much money, would you be willing to spend it all on a single car?"

"Someone who can afford this kind of car definitely has more than just one. Their net worth must be at least one or two billion, otherwise they couldn't even afford the maintenance."

Listening to the guy beside her, the girl stared blankly at the supercar a dozen meters away, lost in thought.

......

After getting out of the car, Su Yang walked straight toward Xu Zilin.

She was wearing a dark gray T-shirt paired with a tight denim skirt, looking full of youthful energy.

"Hello, Zilin."

"Su Yang, we meet again! Are you here for something?"

"Nothing major, just passing by to look around and buy a few things."

"Oh, oh."

While the two were talking, the other streamers had quickly surrounded the car, snapping wildly from multiple angles.

"Weren't you going to take pictures?" Su Yang looked at Xu Zilin and asked.

"I'll let them shoot first. I can't squeeze past them," Xu Zilin stuck her tongue out and smiled. "Besides, since the car is yours, I can take pictures of it anytime, hehe."

"Yeah, that's true. When are you planning to end your stream?"

"Soon, probably in about half an hour."

"Alright, you get back to work then. I'm going in to buy some things, we'll talk later."

"Okay."

Saying that, Su Yang turned and walked toward the entrance of the MixC mall. As he walked, he thought to himself: 'Maybe I should just drive the Senna to the villa when I go back to Senhai Manor later. But I'm only one person, how can I drive two cars?'

'Wait, Xu Zilin! Right, right. I promised her before that she could go and take pictures of all my cars. It's settled then, I'll ask her after I finish shopping.'

Lost in thought, Su Yang had already walked into the mall.

Looking at the dazzling array of goods inside, he didn't know what to buy for a moment.

"I'll go get some clothes and pants first."

As he spoke, he habitually walked toward an LV store. However, seeing LV immediately brought Lu Yun to mind.

"I haven't contacted Little Lu for a while. I should go to the restaurant another day to see her and treat her to a meal."

After entering the store, Su Yang quickly bought two newly released backpacks. Then, he picked out two autumn outfits, two T-shirts, three pairs of trousers, and two pairs of skate shoes.

He was done in less than fifteen minutes, spending a total of 130,000 yuan.

After buying clothes, Su Yang headed toward the Van Cleef & Arpels store.

He actually didn't like wearing accessories, finding them troublesome, but time sometimes changes a person's thoughts.

Wearing them occasionally for decoration was fine. Since he didn't know what to buy anyway, he might as well just pick up a few things.

He'd buy whatever caught his eye. He wasn't short of money, so it didn't matter.

He walked into Van Cleef & Arpels and bought himself a men's necklace worth over 100,000, and then bought a bracelet that was very suitable for men. The bracelet was slightly cheaper, only costing 50,000.

After buying these two items, he went to the Bulgari store and bought a pair of couple rings for himself and Pan Ning.

Just as he walked out of the store, Su Yang suddenly remembered that he was going to trouble Xu Zilin to help him drive later. Since that was the case, he should get her a little gift too.

He immediately gave up on rings, mainly because you had to try them on in person.

He bought a ring for Pan Ning because he knew her ring size.

Other than Pan Ning, he didn't know any other girl's size.

Su Yang returned to Van Cleef & Arpels and picked out an exquisite Alhambra clover necklace for Xu Zilin, worth 120,000, and then bought a pair of earrings for over 60,000.

"Yeah, that's about enough. If I buy any more, she probably won't accept it."

After checking out and paying, Su Yang left stylishly under the envious gaze of the sales assistants.

"Why does it feel like him buying these things worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands is like grocery shopping?"

"We don't understand the world of the rich. This kind of money is probably just a few bucks to them."

......

After buying the accessories, Su Yang wandered around a bit more. Finally, he bought two pairs of sunglasses and walked out of the mall carrying bags of various sizes.

Coming to the street, he looked over and saw that the group of streamers by his car was gone, replaced by a crowd of passersby, including five or six luxuriously and brightly dressed beauties taking pictures.

Su Yang quickly spotted Xu Zilin by the side of the road, then walked over briskly and called out, "Zilin."

"Hey!" Hearing the call, Xu Zilin turned and jogged over. "Done shopping?"

"Yeah, all done."

Looking at the numerous bags in Su Yang's hands, Xu Zilin smiled. "You bought so much?"

"Just a few things. Oh right, here's something for you too."

"For me too?" Xu Zilin paused, looking at the various bags in Su Yang's hands.

"Yeah, exactly. It's mainly because I need to trouble you with a favor later, so I had to get you a little gift."

"Oh, I don't need anything, you're too polite. The things you buy are so expensive, I can't accept them."

"It's fine, just a small token of appreciation. You have to take it, otherwise I'd feel bad asking for your help."

"What's the favor?"

"I'd like to ask you to help me drive a car later. You've seen it, the Senna."

"Ah? That's it?"

"Yep."

"Oh gosh, that's nothing at all. You really didn't need to get me a gift. I'd be more than happy to help you even if you didn't give me anything."

"No, no, those are separate things. You have to accept it."

"Well... alright then. What did you buy?"

"Just a necklace and a bracelet. It's not much, just a little token of my appreciation."

"Is it Van Cleef & Arpels?"

"Yeah," Su Yang nodded.

Xu Zilin bit her lip. "Things from this brand are really expensive. I really can't accept this."

"You must!"

"I'll stop talking for a second, let me go put these things in the car."

"O... okay."

Su Yang winked with a smile and turned to walk toward his car.

Upon reaching the car, the pedestrians gathered around it quickly dispersed, leaving only a few beautiful girls still taking pictures in front of it.

They looked up and looked Su Yang up and down.

Seeing Su Yang open the car door, they immediately surrounded him. "Hey handsome, is this your car?"

As Su Yang placed the various bags in his hands onto the passenger seat, he replied, "No, no, I'm just the designated driver."

"You're lying! How could someone as handsome as you be a designated driver? Besides, your vibe doesn't match at all!"

After putting his things away, Su Yang closed the car door. "Can I help you ladies with something?"

"Can't we just chat with you for fun? Handsome, can we add you on WeChat?"

"Handsome, we're planning to go get a drink in a bit. Can we invite you to join us?"

"Will there be any guys?" Su Yang asked with a smile.

"Of course not~"

"No guys? Then I'd be the only one surrounded by so many beauties. I'd be too shy~"

"You're joking again, handsome. You don't look like the shy type at all."

"Really? You can tell?"

"Of course! So, are you coming or not~"

Looking at the five decently pretty and incredibly sexily dressed girls, to be honest, Su Yang was actually a little tempted.

Any normal guy would probably be tempted in this situation, but Su Yang had seen too many beautiful women. Not to mention anyone else, Xu Zilin alone was several leagues above these five.

Although a penta-kill was very tempting, Su Yang still cared more about looks.

He spouted some nonsense to brush them off. At that moment, Xu Zilin finished her livestream and walked over to him.

"Su Yang~"

"Over here! Finished streaming?" Su Yang waved and called out.

"Yeah, I'm off work. Where is your place?"

"If I remember correctly, you've been there once before."

"Oh right, hehe, I almost forgot. Senhai Manor!"

"Yep."

"Okay then, how are we getting there? I see you put so many things in the passenger seat, and I didn't drive today. How about I just call a cab?"

"Give me a second." Su Yang said as he opened the car door again. He shifted the bags inside as much as he could, then smiled. "All good. It'll be a tight squeeze, but you can sit."

"Okay~"

Xu Zilin said as she got into the passenger seat. Su Yang closed the door, then walked around to the driver's side, opened his door, and got in.

Amidst the envious gazes of the pedestrians, Su Yang pulled the car out of the parking space and then slammed the gas pedal to the floor.

The Bugatti Tourbillon let out an explosive roar and quickly disappeared at the end of the street.
