Broken Up

Hearing this, Ren Lingxi was stunned. She thought Su Yang was going to buy one for her. She hurriedly waved her hands, "Brother Su Yang, I really can't accept this... just buying one for yourself is enough."

Su Yang laughed, "I know you don't want it. I'm buying it for someone else."

"Uh... oh, okay." A blush immediately crept up Ren Lingxi's face as she muttered to herself, "Stupid mouth! Why did I have to add that extra sentence."

"What did you say?"

"No, no, nothing. Brother Su Yang, come sit over here. I'll go get the contract for you."

"Alright."

Su Yang went to the lounge area and sat down, while Ren Lingxi headed to the office to fetch the contract.

At that moment, another staff member came over and asked, "Hello sir, you are Lingxi's friend, right?"

"Yes."

"Great. She went to get the contract. What would you like to drink?"

Su Yang looked up at the girl speaking, "A bottle of sparkling water will do."

"Alright, please wait a moment."

"Do you have it iced?"

"Yes, we do."

"Okay, thanks."

"You're welcome." The staff member smiled and left.

Su Yang sat alone in the chair, looking at his phone while waiting.

Before long, the staff member brought him a chilled bottle of sparkling water and a glass.

Su Yang nodded in thanks. Soon, Ren Lingxi walked out of the nearby office holding the contract.

The two sat in the lounge area as Ren Lingxi went over the necessary details with him.

Forty minutes later, Su Yang paid in full for two of the latest Ducati V4S motorcycles.

However, he didn't have a motorcycle license, and this particular model would take a few days to arrive anyway, so after paying, Su Yang prepared to leave.

"Lingxi, when the bikes arrive, can you have them delivered to my house?"

"Sure, I'll have someone deliver them to you when the time comes."

"Okay, so we're all done here?"

"Yep, everything is sorted. You just need to get the license plates once the bikes arrive."

"Okay, thanks for your help today. When do you get off work? How about I treat you to a meal later?"

Ren Lingxi actually really wanted to have a meal with Su Yang, but it was still early before her shift ended. She thought for a moment and said, "I still have several hours before I get off work. Let's do it another day, and I'll treat you then."

"That works. Since there's nothing else, I'll take off first. I won't hold up your work."

"Alright, I'll walk you out."

The two walked to the entrance of the store. Su Yang looked at Ren Lingxi and said, "Go back inside. I'm leaving, let's catch up another day."

"Okay, take care, Brother Su Yang."

Su Yang waved his hand, turned around, and walked toward his car.

After getting in, he leaned back against the seat and thought for a moment. His courtyard house was currently finished, but there were still a lot of things he hadn't bought.

The courtyard was essentially fully furnished in terms of fixtures; things like the walls, flooring, air conditioning, lighting, wardrobes, and sinks were already done when the house was handed over.

However, furniture and appliances like sofas, beds, refrigerators, and televisions were missing. He needed to go buy some, especially a bed, otherwise he wouldn't even have a place to sleep when he moved in.

Since he was free right now, he drove toward the furniture mall.

While he was driving, Pan Ning called him.

Su Yang answered with a smile, "Hello!"

"Where are you?"

"I'm driving. The courtyard is finished, so I'm heading to the furniture mall to buy a few things."

"Come pick me up first," Pan Ning said calmly.

"Sure, are you at home or...?"

"I'm out shopping."

"Shopping? Are you by yourself?"

"No, Yixue is back, so I'm with her."

"Oh, is Ziming not there?"

"No."

"Alright then, where are you guys?"

"Qianxiang Mall."

"Okay, wait for me. I'm not far, I'll be right there."

"Alright, we'll wait for you by the side of the road."

Hanging up the phone, Su Yang turned his car around and drove toward Qianxiang Mall.

Soon, he arrived near the plaza of Qianxiang Mall. Just as he parked his car in a spot, he saw two tall, beautiful women walking toward him from his front right.

The two were Pan Ning and Shen Yixue, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

Since it had been a while, Su Yang rolled down his window, took off his sunglasses, and carefully looked at the approaching Shen Yixue.

Her previously brown, wavy hair had been cut shorter and dyed grey.

Her figure seemed a bit fuller compared to before. Today, she was dressed all in white: a white, semi-transparent sheer jacket over an off-the-shoulder t-shirt, paired with white denim hot pants. Her long legs were exposed to the sunlight, looking quite shapely.

"She definitely gained some weight, you can tell just by looking at her legs. Her face looks a bit plumper too, but she actually seems cuter and prettier."

After looking for a few seconds, Su Yang got out of the car, waved at the two of them, and shouted, "Hey, you two beauties! Over here!"

Hearing his shout, the two women, who were walking arm in arm, looked up together. When Shen Yixue saw Su Yang, she immediately smiled and waved back, "Hello, Su Yang! Long time no see!"

Su Yang walked up to greet them and laughed, "Wow, long time no see, Yixue! You've gotten even prettier!"

Shen Yixue covered her mouth and chuckled, "And you've gotten even more handsome."

"Haha, really?"

"Yes! My eyes are as accurate as a ruler! I could tell at a glance."

Su Yang rubbed his head and laughed loudly, "Haha, I love hearing that! What have you been up to lately?"

"It's a long story. There was some business at my grandfather's house, and my dad insisted on dragging us younger ones along to help."

Su Yang didn't press for details. He nodded and said, "There's no getting around that. You have to help out with family matters."

"Exactly."

At this point, Pan Ning, who had been quiet, spoke up, "Aren't you guys hot? Standing under the blazing sun talking so much... let's get in the car and chat."

"Sure, let's go. Get in the car first."

"Alright."

The three of them walked to the car. Shen Yixue opened the rear door and got in.

Pan Ning sat in the passenger seat.

After getting in the car, Su Yang looked at the two and asked, "By the way, weren't you guys shopping? How come you're empty-handed?"

"We looked around but didn't find anything we wanted to buy," Pan Ning said calmly.

"Alright then. Do you guys want anything to drink? I'll go buy something for you."

"No thanks. Weren't you going to buy furniture? Let's go."

"Okay, let's go." Su Yang said as he pulled the car out of the parking spot and drove toward the furniture mall a few kilometers away.

On the way, the three of them chatted casually. Su Yang glanced at Shen Yixue in the rearview mirror and asked, "Yixue, how come you're not with Ziming today?"

Hearing this, the smile on Shen Yixue's face instantly vanished.

"I broke up with him," Shen Yixue said expressionlessly.

"Broke... what? You broke up?" Su Yang's eyes widened in shock.

The main thing was that just yesterday, he had heard from Meng Wenzhou that these two were enjoying their own private world together, and today they were broken up?

However, it wasn't really appropriate for him to pry into this kind of thing. Even if he were to ask, he would definitely go ask Zhang Ziming.

But he didn't have to ask, as Shen Yixue took the initiative to explain it herself.
