After resolving matters concerning the Baili family and Xu Ying, Zhou Xuan found himself with some leisure time, unsure of what to do.
It was then that Lu Ling'er approached him, mentioning it was her first time in Shangjing and asking if he could show her around the city and point out any interesting places.
Hearing his "wife" had spoken, Zhou Xuan naturally couldn't refuse. He immediately sought out Baili Lie, who was also idle within the family estate, and asked him to take them on a tour of Shangjing.
Upon hearing Zhou Xuan's request, Baili Lie dared not object. After all, his grandfather had specifically approached him the previous day, instructing him to foster a good relationship with Zhou Xuan. This was an excellent opportunity, one he certainly wouldn't miss.
He promptly drove out his long-cherished Porsche 911 limited edition supercar from his garage, preparing to take Zhou Xuan and Lu Ling'er for a drive around Shangjing.
"This car of yours is quite nice!"
"How much did it cost?"
Seated in the supercar, the three of them enjoyed the immense acceleration provided by the luxurious vehicle. Zhou Xuan casually chatted with Baili Lie.
"Reporting to my Lord, this car cost me over three million at the time!"
"The price isn't much, but it's a limited edition model!"
"So it was quite difficult to acquire!"
"If my Lord fancies it!"
"I shall gift it to you!"
"I've noticed my Lord always seems to be taking taxis when going out!"
"You probably haven't bought a car yet!"
"So gifting this car to my Lord would be putting it to good use!"
Hearing Zhou Xuan's question, Baili Lie, who was acting as the driver, assumed Zhou Xuan was eyeing his car and teasing him. He immediately displayed a show of generosity, offering to give the car directly to Zhou Xuan.
"Never mind. Since it was a limited edition you painstakingly acquired, it wouldn't be right for you to give it to me!"
"However, I really should buy a car."
"Otherwise, it's quite inconvenient sometimes when I need to go somewhere."
"Once we've finished sightseeing, you can take me to a good car dealership."
"I'll go and look for a car myself."
Listening to Baili Lie's words and noticing the slight reluctance hidden in his eyes, Zhou Xuan smiled and shook his head, refusing his kind offer.
After that, Zhou Xuan remained silent, allowing Baili Lie to lead him and Lu Ling'er on their tour of Shangjing.
After a brief exploration around the Baili family's vicinity and finding nothing particularly exciting, they were led by Baili Lie to a very famous car dealership in Shangjing.
Tianxing Auto.
They were there to find a car for Zhou Xuan.
"Good afternoon, esteemed guests!"
"Are you here to look at cars?"
"Do you have any particular models in mind?"
"Would you like me to introduce you to our selection?"
As soon as Zhou Xuan and the other two walked through the entrance of Tianxing Auto, a beautiful and curvaceous saleswoman noticed them.
A captivating smile immediately appeared on her delicate face.
She then gracefully swayed her sexy waist and full hips, approaching the trio.
She greeted them warmly.
"We don't have a specific model in mind; we're just looking around for now."
"If we find something suitable, we'll buy it. If not, then we won't."
"If you could, please help us with some introductions."
Hearing the saleswoman's words, Zhou Xuan merely glanced up at her briefly.
He then calmly shifted his gaze away.
Although the young woman was exceptional in terms of her looks, figure, and attire, she was still several levels below Lu Ling'er.
Furthermore, Zhou Xuan was not a lecherous old man; he understood the principle of not looking at what one shouldn't.
However, while Zhou Xuan could resist the allure of such beauty, it wasn't to say that others could too.
Take Baili Lie, for instance.
As the saleswoman approached them, Zhou Xuan noticed that Baili Lie's gaze had not left the attractive scenery adorning her chest.
"Certainly, sir!"
"May I ask if all three of you are looking, or is it just you who will be making the selection?"
Observing that Zhou Xuan's eyes hadn't lingered on her at all, Li Xiaolu felt a bit taken aback.
It wasn't for any particular reason other than that she was well aware of the allure she held for most men.
Ever since she started her career in car sales, she had consistently topped sales charts for multiple quarters, leveraging her pretty face and hot figure.
What man who met her wasn't utterly smitten and captivated?
Ultimately, under her persuasive talk, they would willingly generate substantial sales for her.
Yet today, as she anticipated another easy mark to bring her money, Zhou Xuan's demeanor had essentially doused her with a bucket of cold water.
His indifferent tone and attitude even left Li Xiaolu momentarily stunned before she regained her professional composure and continued to attend to Zhou Xuan.
"If we find suitable ones, my girlfriend and I will each choose one."
"As for whether this fellow buys anything, you'll have to ask him."
"I'm definitely buying!"
"Coincidentally, I've been wanting to replace my current car, my eighth one."
"While you're helping my Lord pick out a car!"
"I might as well scout for my ninth car."
"Miss, do you have any good recommendations?"
"As long as the car is good, money is not an issue."
Seeing Zhou Xuan shift the conversation to him, Baili Lie became energized.
He stood there ostentatiously, loudly proclaiming his intentions.
He seemed eager to let everyone know he owned eight cars and was wealthy.
And while saying this, he didn't forget to cast a somewhat flirtatious glance at Li Xiaolu.
His demeanor suggested he was practically whispering into Li Xiaolu's ear, "Look how rich and capable I am, hurry up and date me!"
Seeing his pathetic display, Zhou Xuan couldn't help but feel the urge to pin him down and beat him up again.
He was supposed to be here to help him pick out a car, but now he was here to flirt with the saleswoman.
"Heh, this handsome gentleman clearly has significant capabilities!"
"Then today, Xiaolu is truly fortunate!"
"Since all three of you are looking for cars, please follow me."
"I will introduce each of you personally."
Fortunately, Li Xiaolu on the side had assessed the situation.
She immediately spoke with a smile, coming to Baili Lie's rescue.
This saved him from suffering a physical ordeal.
Then, led by Li Xiaolu, the group began to view the cars one by one.
A short while later, Baili Lie and Lu Ling'er had both selected their desired vehicles.
Only Zhou Xuan had yet to make a decision.
"Sir, do you perhaps dislike all the models previously recommended to you?"
After accompanying Zhou Xuan to look at several more cars, Li Xiaolu, with her lips almost worn out from talking, finally couldn't help but feel a bit impatient.
In her opinion, Zhou Xuan seemed to be deliberately finding fault.
No matter which car she introduced him to, it couldn't meet his requirements.
He would either find the interior unsatisfactory or the fuel consumption too high.
In this short period, she had already introduced forty to fifty cars, yet not a single one had managed to win Zhou Xuan's approval.
"Uh... this!"
"Indeed, I haven't seen one that I particularly like yet."
"Perhaps we should skip it for now and finalize theirs first."
"I'll look elsewhere later."
Seeing that she was getting a bit upset, Zhou Xuan felt somewhat awkward.
It wasn't that he was intentionally being difficult; it was just that none of the cars here caught his eye.
Seeing Zhou Xuan's slightly apologetic expression, Li Xiaolu understood that he wasn't intentionally trying to cause trouble, and her anger subsided considerably.
"Let's not, I'll introduce a few more models to you."
As she said this, she prepared to lead Zhou Xuan to look at more cars.
But at that moment, Zhou Xuan suddenly called out to her.
At the same time, he pointed to a black sports car not far away and asked with pleasant surprise,
"What car is that?"
"I'll take it!"
