Chapter 428: Inside the Gift

Chapter 428

The fireworks exploded with loud bangs in the sky, the flickering lights illuminating Nan XiangWan's cheeks as they flashed on and off.

Having just posted on Weibo, she was in an excellent mood, smiling brightly at the splendid sky.

Gu Beihuai gazed at her silently the entire time.

Xiao Dong, Jie Chou and Gong Jin had already jumped out of the car, craning their heads back to watch the sky excitedly as the fireworks continued bursting.

Absorbed by the fireworks' brilliance, the three were elated.

Gu Beihuai glanced at the three; very good, they ran far away, even farther would be better.

He strode forward to stand in front of Nan XiangWan and held out his hand.

Nan XiangWan instinctively grabbed his hand, while her other hand covered Gu Beihuai's eyes.

She thought the flashing fireworks would hurt his attractive injured eyes, since Gu Beihuai wasn't wearing glasses now.

The corner of Gu Beihuai's mouth curled up slightly, his covered features appearing especially gentle in that moment.

Nan XiangWan asked with some concern, "Do your eyes hurt?"

Gu Beihuai replied, "No, it's warm."

Nan XiangWan: "Hmm?"

You're using the word "warm" in the middle of summer, that's not right, is it? ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

The next moment, Gu Beihuai solemnly asked, "Are you willing to share life's joy and sorrow, glory and hardship with me?"

Nan XiangWan thought carefully and said, "I can help share your sorrow and hardship, and smooth out any bumps in the road, but I'll keep the joy and glory for myself."

Gu Beihuai laughed aloud. At this moment he felt helpless yet fortunate, and rather elated.

He was certain the little elf didn't understand this was a confession, but also knew she had a place for him in her heart, and it wasn't insignificant.

Otherwise, she couldn't have said things like "share sorrow and hardship" and "smooth out bumps in the road."

Gu Beihuai suddenly felt very strange, was he being protected by Nan XiangWan?

Sure enough, the next second Nan XiangWan removed her hand from his eyes and patted his shoulder.

Nan XiangWan: "Don't be scared, I'll protect you!"

Gu Beihuai's eyes shone like stars. "Promise me."

Nan XiangWan: "I promise, I've got your back."

Just then, an inappropriate voice suddenly sounded from the side.

"A grown man still needs a woman's protection?"

The two looked over in tandem to see a man in black pushing an enormous safe on wheels toward them.

The safe had wheels underneath and a fingerprint lock.

They watched as he pushed it in front of Nan XiangWan and said, "Hello Ms. Nan, please sign for your delivery."

Nan XiangWan immediately knew it was the violin Dog had sent, it arriving right on her birthday!

That Dog rarely had such thoughtfulness!

She happily stepped forward and input her fingerprint.

Gong Jin, Jie Chou and Xiao Dong were equally dumbfounded, staring wordlessly at the supercar for ages.

The upturned rear wing, the explosive exhaust, the shiny paint glinting brightly, and the awesome streamlined body.

The Ferrari FXXK, worth 40 million dollars! One of only 32 built in the entire world!

Jie Chou: "So extravagant, so extravagant! Let me drive it!"

He rushed toward the car eagerly.

Gong Jin grabbed him back bodily, then ran up himself, even rolling up his sleeves.

Gong Jin: "If anyone's test driving this baby, it's me first!"

Gu Beihuai glared at them both, and Gong Jin and Jie Chou instantly froze as if spellbound.

Oh right, it wasn't meant for them, but for Nan XiangWan.

You really are too wildly impressive, Fox!

A coming of age gift of a car this pricey!

As Nan XiangWan looked over the car, her blood surged.

She could feel its peerless power radiating to her, as if she could take flight on it!

So dashing!

Just as she grabbed the car key and prepared to slip into the driver's seat, Gu Beihuai hastily stopped her. "No, you don't have a license. Go get your license first."

Nan XiangWan: "..."

Aw come on!

Damn license!

Beside them Xiao Dong stood awkwardly silent, quietly touching the car key in her pocket.

It nearly killed her!

The gift she'd brought clashed with the Celestial King's!

She had also gifted a car, just not as crazily powerful a supercar. It was the motorhome Nan XiangWan had idly mentioned wanting previously.

Xiao Dong was tearfully at a loss. Her present seemed unable to compare under the shadow of Gu Beihuai's splurging!

But she still had to give it, so Xiao Dong steeled herself and stepped forward, holding out the butterfly-bowed car key to Nan XiangWan.

Xiao Dong: "Boss Nan, happy birthday!"

Nan XiangWan: "You all got me cars?"

Xiao Dong awkwardly laughed. "Ha ha, well you did say you wanted a motorhome, it'll be convenient for future performances and filming on location."

Nan XiangWan happily accepted the key. "Where's the vehicle? What's it like?"

She was thrilled, instantly wealthy on her coming of age with so many gifts!

Xiao Dong: "It's been parked downstairs at the Ji mansion for a while. You can drive it yourself or have me chauffeur. Up to you."

She knew Nan XiangWan would want creature comforts while riding inside, hence the motorhome.

So there were two keys, one for Nan XiangWan and a spare Xiao Dong kept for emergencies.

But she really couldn't bring herself to disclose the price or brand. Probably only a fortieth the cost of the Ferrari FXXK!
