"..."
Gu Wanting was stunned for a long moment after hearing what Gu Wanqing said.
Then, she gave a helpless smile and patted her younger sister’s head.
"Qingqing, I thought the same way when I first started college."
"I’m not just bragging, but during college, if there weren’t dozens of guys chasing me, there were at least a dozen or so."
"Whether in terms of looks or family background, Lin Shen was just average among them, but I still firmly chose him because of one single moment."
"He was volunteering at a charity sale and tucked the hundred yuan he earned into the pocket of an old coat meant for an elderly woman."
"I fell for him instantly because of that small detail. I thought he was the best person in the world and that dating someone with such good character would surely bring me great happiness!"
"But time has proven just how ridiculous that thought was."
Gu Wanting’s gaze grew distant, a clear sign that something had come to mind.
"Actually, if Lin Shen and I were living in some small, fourth- or fifth-tier county town, we’d probably have gotten married, had kids, and lived happily ever after."
"But this is Modu. It inflates people’s desires..."
"It’s time!"
Just then, Cheng Yue walked over with a KFC bag and a smile.
"Qingqing, your high-speed train is at 11:30, right? You can go to the gate now."
"Okay."
Seeing it was about time, Gu Wanqing stood up to leave.
"Sis, I’m leaving now."
"Let us walk you there."
Gu Wanting took the initiative and grabbed Gu Wanqing’s suitcase.
"Remember to let us know you got home safe."
"Okay."

「10:00 AM, Modu Tianhua Jaguar Land Rover Dealership.」
Lin Shen arrived by taxi and looked around curiously. He saw that the flat parking lot was filled with various models of Jaguars and Land Rovers.
Among them was his absolute favorite, the Jaguar XFL.
"So cool!"
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the same goes for cars.
Lin Shen walked closer and ran his hand over the Jaguar XFL’s paint. The fine, metallic texture made him not want to let go.
’Soon, so soon, you’ll be mine.’
With an excited heart, Lin Shen walked into the 4S dealership. A male salesperson quickly approached, smiling and bowing slightly.
"Hello, sir. Are you here to look at some cars?"
"Yes, I have an appointment from this morning."
"Would you mind giving me your name and the last few digits of your phone number? I’ll look you up."
"Lin Shen, last four digits 7946."
"Alright, Mr. Lin. Please wait a moment."
The salesperson returned a few minutes later, his previously mild-mannered attitude now even more polite.
"Mr. Lin, you mentioned you wanted to see the Jaguar XFL, is that correct? Please, come with me."
"Okay."
Led by the salesperson, Lin Shen saw the Jaguar XFL show car.
It was a C-segment executive sedan, like a black samurai, its elegant and distinguished lines both stylish and stately.
"It has a 5.1-meter-long body and an extra-long 3100mm wheelbase. Its exterior, with its elegant, streamlined design, is the very definition of ’Jaguar-powered aesthetics.’"
The salesperson opened the door for Lin Shen as he spoke, inviting him to sit in the driver’s seat and experience the Jaguar XFL’s luxurious interior up close.
"The Windsor leather seats and the 11.4-inch floating curved screen create a first-class luxury experience. Paired with the Meridian sound system, every trip is a feast for the senses."
"Its engine..."
To be honest, Lin Shen didn’t need the salesperson’s detailed introduction. He was already intimately familiar with all the configurations of his dream car.
What he cared about more right now was the price.
"What kind of discounts are there?"
"Right now, you can enjoy a limited-time courtesy of up to 120,000 yuan!"
