Su Qingning rolled her eyes at Lin Xiao.

She was so stunningly beautiful that even this simple act was captivating. Her peach-blossom eyes brimmed with flirtatious charm.

She huffed coldly. Let's see what kind of trick this shameless rogue has up his sleeve, she thought before asking irritably, "What's the wager?"

Lin Xiao laughed. "Simple. If I really buy you a Cullinan, you have to let me sleep in our bed!"

"In your dreams, you shameless rogue!"

"What, you don't dare to bet?"

Provoked by Lin Xiao, Su Qingning retorted angrily, "And what if you don't buy it?"

"What do you want me to do?"

"Hmph, if you don't buy it, you're never allowed to mention sleeping in the same bed again!"

"Deal!" Lin Xiao said with a grin.

Su Qingning glared at him. "Where's the car?"

"Downstairs!" Lin Xiao replied quickly.

"Hmph, I'd like to see how long you can keep up this bluff!"

With that, she stood up and left the office, with Lin Xiao following closely behind.

The moment she stepped out of the bar, she saw a brand-new Cullinan parked prominently in the lot. Su Qingning's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be? Did that shameless rogue really buy a Cullinan?

Su Qingning couldn't believe it was true. Seeing her frozen in place, Lin Xiao walked to the car with a grin and effortlessly opened the door.

Su Qingning was completely dumbfounded. She never would have dreamed it. What she'd said last night was just a throwaway comment made in anger, yet Lin Xiao had actually taken it seriously. And he really bought it!

Looking at Lin Xiao's face, which was stretched in the widest grin imaginable, she suddenly remembered their bet. Her fair, flawless face flushed crimson, and even her delicate ears turned red.

"Honey, what are you standing there for? Come and try it out, see if it's comfortable!" Lin Xiao laughed.

Su Qingning stared at Lin Xiao for a long moment. Suddenly, as if remembering something, her expression turned instantly cold. She strode up to him and asked frostily, "Let me ask you, did you borrow this car from Shao Mei'er?"

Yes, that had to be it. She was sure Lin Xiao had borrowed the car from Shao Mei'er. Otherwise, how could he possibly afford it? To be honest, she wished he had bought it himself, but the simple fact was, he didn't have that kind of money.

What? Borrowed? Lin Xiao was speechless. "Honey, sorry to disappoint you, but I bought this car!"

"Hmph, you bought it? What proof do you have?"

Lin Xiao took out a stack of documents.

Su Qingning took them, her eyes widening when she clearly saw that she was the registered owner of the Cullinan. She was shocked once again.

"You... you... you bought this for me?"

Lin Xiao laughed. "Yeah. You're my wife. Who else would I buy it for? So, are you happy?"

It was as if fireworks had ignited in Su Qingning's heart. She felt a sudden, irrepressible burst of joy. But the happiness vanished as quickly as it came, and her charming face instantly turned frosty.

"I'm asking you, did you have Shao Mei'er buy this car?"

No wonder her expression soured so quickly. She must think Shao Mei'er bought the car.

Lin Xiao looked at Su Qingning, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Honey, you're overthinking things. I paid for this car for you!"

"Hmph, with your money? Where would you get so much money?"

"I forgot to tell you. You know how I got into that accident yesterday? The money is from the compensation!"

"Lin Xiao, do you think I'm a three-year-old?" Su Qingning demanded furiously.

"What do you mean?"

"A Cullinan costs eight or nine million. Even if they compensated you, do you really think they'd pay that much?"

Lin Xiao nodded. "They did. They paid me fifteen million!"

Su Qingning stamped her foot in anger. She really didn't want to talk to this shameless rogue anymore. He was clearly addicted to bragging. Her own Audi A4 was over two years old and had cost a little over three hundred thousand new. Even if it was totaled in the crash, three hundred thousand would be the absolute maximum compensation. Yet this shameless rogue claimed they paid him fifteen million.

The money must have come from Shao Mei'er.

Thinking this, Su Qingning suppressed her fury and said in a low voice, "You shameless rogue, I'm asking you one last time, did Shao Mei'er buy this car? I'm warning you, think carefully before you answer."

"No!" Lin Xiao replied crisply.

Su Qingning's beautiful, peach-blossom eyes locked onto Lin Xiao's. She spoke, enunciating every word, "Lin Xiao, you disappoint me more than I can say."

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes reddened. Glistening tears welled up, threatening to spill over at any second.

Lin Xiao watched her, his heart aching with a sense of helplessness. Why can't she just believe me?

As they stood in a standoff, a luxury car suddenly screeched to a halt beside them. A familiar figure quickly hopped out. It was none other than Jia Meng, the man who had sold Lin Xiao the Cullinan.

When Jia Meng saw Su Qingning, his heart trembled. This wasn't his first time seeing Su Qingning, but even so, he still found her shockingly beautiful. How could such a gorgeous woman exist in the mortal world? She looked like she was crying, but her vulnerability didn't detract from her beauty in the slightest. Instead, it made her appear delicate and pitiful, breathtakingly so.

Jia Meng quickly snapped back to his senses. He knew Su Qingning was Lin Xiao's wife. If he kept staring, he would definitely anger Lin Xiao. Then it wouldn't just be him in trouble; the entire Jia Family would suffer.

Su Qingning recognized Jia Meng as well. In fact, the Rolls-Royce her father drove when he was still alive had been purchased from the Jia Family.

"Mr. Lin, the license plate has arrived. I came to install it for you personally!" Jia Meng said respectfully.

Lin Xiao nodded.

Jia Meng began working efficiently. Soon, the license plate with five nines was installed.

"Mr. Lin, it's installed!"

"Thank you!"

Jia Meng waved his hands in dismissal, flustered. "You don't need to be so polite, Mr. Lin. It is I who should be thanking you."

"You're too kind," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, my father would like to invite you for a casual dinner tonight. Would you do us the honor?" Jia Meng asked, looking at Lin Xiao nervously. The Jia Family was naturally eager to build a good relationship with such an extraordinary individual.

"There's no need, but please thank your father for the kind offer," Lin Xiao replied with a smile.

A flicker of disappointment crossed Jia Meng's mind, but he quickly accepted it. That's right. A major figure with an unfathomably powerful background like Lin Xiao wasn't someone the Jia Family could curry favor with just because they wanted to.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Lin," Jia Meng said respectfully. "As I was coming over, Miss Shao Mei'er called me. She said she is willing to cover the cost of your car purchase. So, should I return the money to you via the original payment method, or would you prefer I write you a check?"

The fact that Shao Mei'er had called him was a huge shock to Jia Meng. He knew Lin Xiao's status was extraordinary—after all, even the King of the Southern Town had to curry favor with him. But Jia Meng never expected that even the foremost family in Jinling City, the Shao Family, would seek to ingratiate themselves with Lin Xiao. This only made him more curious about Lin Xiao's true identity and background.

But the moment the words left his mouth, Su Qingning froze in shock.
