After finishing, Wu Tian turned around and was about to run out.
But at this moment, a cold and pretty voice rang out from behind.
"If you leave today, we'll never see each other again."
Wu Tian's footsteps immediately stopped. He turned his head and said with a bitter expression, "Can't we discuss this?"
Zhou Qian didn't even look at him, playing with a strand of hair by her ear and said, "What are you talking about? I'm a reasonable person. Aren't I discussing it with you right now?"
Wu Tian thought to himself, this isn't a discussion at all, it's clearly coercion!
To be honest, Wu Tian really didn't want to agree to Zhou Qian's request.
But he was truly helpless with Zhou Qian's attitude.
After thinking carefully, he couldn't come up with any more excuses, so he could only say with his head hanging low, "Alright, I promise you."
Seeing Wu Tian relent, Zhou Qian immediately beamed with joy.
She rushed over and hugged Wu Tian, saying happily,
"Wu Tian, you're too good! I'm saved now!"
Zhou Qian was pressed close to Wu Tian, so at this moment, Wu Tian could clearly feel Zhou Qian's fragrance and beauty.
But at this moment, Wu Tian had no time to appreciate the beauty.
He had a long face, lamenting in his heart, I shouldn't have come today...
Since the matter was decided, Zhou Qian set off immediately to avoid any further complications.
She originally wanted to get Wu Tian a decent set of clothes, but Wu Tian couldn't get used to suits and leather shoes, so he still wore his street stall attire.
He never felt that wearing clothes from street stalls was a bad thing.
Clothes were just for covering the body. As long as they looked decent, why wear anything too good?
Zhou Qian drove on the highway, her mood was quite good, but Wu Tian was a bit restless.
Just thinking about meeting her parents out of the blue made him feel that everything was so strange.
Looking at the rapidly changing scenery outside the window, Wu Tian finally couldn't hold back.
He said to Zhou Qian, "Uh, Sister Zhou, I think we should go back."
"I admit I'm a coward. Someone else would definitely be more suitable than me for this kind of thing!"
Zhou Qian drove and smiled, "We're already on our way, so it's no use regretting it."
"Besides, I've already told my parents."
"If I back out now, won't my parents scold me to death?"
Wu Tian's face was full of bitterness, so worried that he was about to cry.
The county town was not far from the city, only about an hour's drive.
This was the provincial capital, which could be considered a quasi-first-tier city nationwide.
"It's only thanks to the proximity that the county town could develop so well.
Wu Tian was no stranger to the city; in fact, he was quite familiar with it, as his university was located there.
At this moment, Zhou Qian drove into the city.
Looking at the tall buildings on both sides, Wu Tian felt his heart start to race.
He asked Zhou Qian, "Sister Zhou, what do your parents do? Are they easy to talk to?"
Zhou Qian smiled and said, "My parents are both in business. As for whether they're easy to talk to, that's hard to say."
"In business..." Wu Tian nodded.
No wonder Zhou Qian had such considerable assets at such a young age; her family must have provided significant help.
The car was driving on the city roads, but at this moment, Zhou Qian's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up as if she had seen something.
Immediately, she turned the steering wheel and pulled over to the side.
"We're here?" Seeing Zhou Qian stop the car, Wu Tian couldn't help but ask.
"What's the rush? Not yet."
Zhou Qian said as she unbuckled her seatbelt, "I ran into an acquaintance, I need to say hello."
After speaking, Zhou Qian got out of the car, and Wu Tian had no choice but to follow.
"Hey! Ayi!" Zhou Qian shouted excitedly.
Hearing her voice, a graceful figure ahead stopped in surprise and then turned around.
Wu Tian noticed that it was a girl of similar age to him.
This girl's appearance was comparable to Zhou Qian's, and she was also tall and slender.
She was wearing a fashionable crop top, her waist was exceptionally slender, as if it could be held with just one hand.
Upon seeing Zhou Qian, her expression immediately changed from confusion to surprise, and she walked back with a smile:
"Zhou Qian? How could it be you? Why are you back?"
Zhou Qian grabbed the girl's hand and smiled, "I just came back to see my parents, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"
The girl smiled, "Yes, ever since you started doing business in the county town, we haven't seen each other, have we?"
Zhou Qian smiled and said, "No, after I finish these things, I must have a good meal with you!"
After speaking, Zhou Qian introduced Wu Tian, "Wu Tian, this is my best friend Xiao Yi. We're very close!"
Then she said to Xiao Yi, "Ayi, this is Wu Tian, he's my boyfriend!"
"Boyfriend?!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yi's beautiful eyes widened, and she instinctively sized up Wu Tian.
Wu Tian sighed with a wry smile at Zhou Qian's introduction.
This girl... didn't we agree to only meet her parents?
Why did she become a boyfriend in front of her best friend?
Xiao Yi looked at Wu Tian for a long time, but the more she looked, the stranger her expression became.
From her gaze, Wu Tian could tell that Xiao Yi seemed somewhat dissatisfied with him.
However, after looking, Xiao Yi didn't say much, just nodded and said, "Ah... he's quite handsome."
Zhou Qian said proudly, "He's handsome, right? I picked him myself, of course, he's an excellent man!"
Seeing Zhou Qian's expression, Xiao Yi's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something.
But she ultimately held back, only showing a polite yet awkward smile.
Zhou Qian then said, "By the way, Ayi, are you out alone? What are you going to do?"
Xiao Yi replied, "I'm going to the auction house!"
"I bought a gift for my dad a few days ago, and I can pick it up today."
"I see," Zhou Qian said with a smile, "I'm very curious about what it is, why don't I take you there!"
"Look, you didn't drive either, I'll give you a ride home later."
As she spoke, Zhou Qian glanced at Wu Tian again, "And my boyfriend here is a very skilled appraiser."
"With him here, he can also help you take a look, right?"
"Appraiser?"
Xiao Yi was surprised, "Your boyfriend is an appraiser? That's really..."
She originally wanted to say it really didn't seem like it, but the words stuck in her throat, and she finally held back.
