Chapter 458: Yuan Wanqing also wants to go to the countryside?
In the evening, Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong couldn't wait to take the elevator and go downstairs first.

After hearing this, Xu Youyu and the others followed Li Luo, took another elevator downstairs, and came to the side of the Mercedes-Benz SUV.

At this time, Li Guohong was still walking around the car, looking here and there, reaching out to touch it, but he was reluctant to do so, for fear that he would dirty such a beautiful paint.

Lin Xiuhong also stood aside cautiously, not daring to get close. When she thought about the fact that this thing might cost millions, she really didn't dare to touch it.

Li Luo and others came downstairs and couldn't help laughing when they saw the scene.

Walking to the side of the car and seeing his father unable to let go, Li Luo smiled and said, "Dad, come in and sit down."

"Let me take another look. Let me take another look."

Li Guohong smiled embarrassedly, but did not rush in. Instead, he took two steps back and looked her up and down carefully. It was obvious that he was still digesting this sudden surprise.

Compared with ordinary sedans, this Mercedes-Benz SUV series has a much higher roof and a larger overall body. It looks very imposing, but not as wild as an off-road vehicle.

There is a heavy sense of restraint.

The more Li Guohong looked at the streamlined lines from the front of the car to the roof, the more beautiful they looked. Then he looked at the headlights and the rear of the car, and they looked good no matter how he looked at them.

"Ahem." Lin Xiufeng, who followed him downstairs and stood aside, couldn't help but remind him in a low voice, "Brother, hurry up and watch. The food will get cold soon. Try it first. There will be plenty of time after dinner."

"That's right." Lin Xiuhong actually wanted to get in, so she urged, "Unlock the car first."

"I know, I know." Li Guohong quickly took out the car keys from his trouser pocket and pressed the door opening button.

The signal light on the car flashed and a very pleasant unlocking sound was made.

Lin Xiuhong opened the passenger door impatiently and got in.

At first she was a little cautious, but it was not until her back was completely against the seat, her body was stretched out in the passenger seat, and her legs could even stretch all the way to the front that Lin Xiuhong completely relaxed.

"It's so spacious." Lin Xiuhong couldn't help but sigh, "In the previous car, I couldn't even stretch my legs in the front, and the backrest was hard. This car is so comfortable to sit in."

Seeing that Lin Xiuhong had already gotten into the car, Li Guohong finally couldn't bear it any longer, and quickly opened the driver's door, rubbed his hands expectantly, and got in.

Looking at the various dials and buttons on the driver's seat, Li Guohong was excited. He touched here and pressed there, just like a child who had got a new toy.

Li Luo watched this scene with a smile, opened the back door, and said to the three girls next to him, "Ladies, would you like to get in the car and sit for a while?"

Since Li Luo invited them, Ying Chanxi and the others would naturally not be polite.

Although Ying Chanxi had ridden in his father's BMW, it was not this kind of high-roof SUV.

She sat in the back seat with curiosity, only to find that it was indeed spacious.

Yan Zhusheng followed behind, and finally Xu Youyu.

As a result, the three girls squeezed in and found that there was still a little space.

So Xu Youyu waved to Li Luo, smiled and patted the empty seat next to him: "This car is so big, come in and take a look, it looks like it can accommodate four people."

Li Luo looked at the three of them huddled together and suddenly found it a little funny: "What's so good about huddling here?"

"Hey, just give it a try. You talk too much." Xu Youyu grabbed Li Luo's hand and pulled him over.

Li Luo had no choice but to stretch his legs into the car and squeeze into the back seat with four girls.

As a result, Xu Youyu even closed the car door, which made it even more crowded.

Lin Xiuhong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw this scene in the rearview mirror, turned her head and looked at the four of them with a bit of amusement.

Li Luo was also a little speechless and couldn't help but complain: "I might as well buy a bus in the future to avoid being so crowded."

The six people made a fuss in the car for a while, chatting and watching Li Guohong studying this and that in the driver's seat.

It was not until Lin Xiufeng knocked on the car window outside, indicating that it had been a while, that everyone was reluctant to get out of the car.

Especially Li Guohong, after getting out of the car and closing the door, he still looked at his beloved car with a reluctant look in his eyes.

When walking towards the corridor entrance, he would look back from time to time, as if the car would be stolen if he didn't keep an eye on it.

When they finally returned to 1502 and everyone was seated and ready to eat, Li Guohong still had to walk to the balcony and take a look down before he could sit back and eat with peace of mind.

Li Luo found it interesting to see his father looking absent-minded.

But when it was time to eat, Li Guohong still said, "Next time you want to buy something this expensive, you still have to discuss it with your parents. How much did you spend on this car?"

"It's less than one million." Li Luo said, "My uncle has some connections and knows the people at the 4S store, so there are some small discounts."

"One million... this is not a small amount." Li Guohong said with emotion, "You should think twice before spending money in the future."

"Yes, I know." Li Luo nodded, "It's probably one or two months' worth of my royalties."

Li Guohong: “…”

This brat... has such a poor sense of propriety when speaking!
But if you really want to calculate it, it is indeed only as much as Li Luo's one or two months' royalties.

From August to October last year, as Yuan Wanqing took the stage as a singer, all the songs in an album were produced by Li Luo, and were also written into "I'm Really Not a Star", echoing reality and novel.

The royalties from "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" also reached its peak during those months, reaching over one million a month at one point.

However, after the singer variety show ended, the popularity gradually dissipated, and the royalties from "I'm Really Not a Star" began to gradually decline, and eventually stabilized at a level of 600,000 to 700,000 per month.

Although it is not as high as the peak level of one million in royalties, it is still a significant increase compared to the previous level of four or five hundred thousand.

Within Wenyue Group, he is already a first-tier author.

For Li Luo, buying a car of the same level as a Mercedes-Benz SUV is just a piece of cake.

But once people think of his identity as a high school sophomore, they still feel a little dazed.

Even Li Luo's parents, who have the closest relationship with him, are no exception.

What made Li Guohong feel relieved and at ease was that even though Li Luo had made so much money, he did not become arrogant.

You say he spends money lavishly, but he doesn't usually have any big expenses.

But to tell you how much money he saved, he went to Qiongzhou City for a trip and bought a private villa, private beach and everything.

Now I have bought him a million-level car.

He didn't spend much money on himself, but spent a lot on his family.

Thinking of this, even an old man like Li Guohong was somewhat moved in his heart, feeling that he had not raised his son in vain.

Does he like this car?

I definitely like it.

But if he were to make the decision himself, he would definitely not be willing to spend the money to buy it.

In this respect, Li Luo is quite like his father.

If he was buying a car for himself, Li Luo would just buy one that was good enough for transportation, as he didn't have much desire for luxury cars. But if he was buying something for his parents, even if it was a car worth over a million, Li Luo would be happy to buy it.

Especially when he saw Li Guohong's happy face, he felt that the money was well spent.

……

After dinner.

Li Guohong couldn't wait to go downstairs again, planning to drive out for a ride.

Lin Xiufeng took the car keys from Li Guohong and helped him drive away.

After resting for a while after dinner, Xu Youyu packed his luggage and went home to celebrate the New Year.

Li Luo stood up and walked her downstairs.

The two took the elevator to the first floor and walked out of the community. Li Luo had no intention of going back. Instead, he accompanied Xu Youyu all the way to the Qianjiang University staff quarters.

"You sent me so far away?" Xu Youyu looked at Li Luo beside him with a smile, "Are you too reluctant to let me go?"

"Yes, after all, we can only see him after the New Year." Li Luo nodded.

"I thought you wouldn't admit it."

"I'm not Xixi."

"Haha~ If you have the guts, tell Xixi this!" Xu Youyu couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder with laughter, and then he didn't take his hand back, and silently held Li Luo's hand.

The two of them chatted and bickered as they walked slowly towards the family quarters, but they walked very slowly.

When they arrived at the gate of the family quarters, Li Luo walked her into the quarters and finally stopped at the entrance of the corridor.

"By the way, when will you come back from the countryside?" Xu Youyu was a little reluctant to leave Li Luo. He stopped at the entrance of the corridor and did not press the elevator. Instead, he turned around and threw himself into Li Luo's arms, resting his head on his chest, and asked softly.

"Probably after the Lantern Festival." Li Luo said while hugging Xu Youyu, "After the 22nd."

"That's still more than half a month."

"Yes."

As soon as Li Luo finished speaking, she felt Xu Youyu in her arms tiptoeing and kissing her soft lips.

The two kissed for a long time, as if they wanted to make up for the time they had lost in the past half month.

It was not until the elevator door opened that Xu Youyu hurriedly broke free from Li Luo's arms and tidied her hair with a blush.

At this time, an old lady came out of the elevator. When she saw Xu Youyu, she smiled and said, "Youyu, huh? Are you going home?"

"Grandma Yu~" Xu Youyu called out to the old lady affectionately when he saw her, "Are you going to the barbecue restaurant?"

"Yes, the old man asked me to go." Grandma Yu said with a smile, "He has a few friends to get together and have a barbecue again."

"Then please be careful on the road."

"Okay, you should go home quickly too. Your mother has been nagging you all day long."

Grandma Yu passed by the two of them, greeted Li Luo with a smile, and walked out of the corridor without asking any further questions.

"Grandma Yu's husband is one of my father's teachers and a professor at Qianjiang University." Xu Youyu turned his head to look at Li Luo and introduced him, then walked into the elevator, "Then I'll go up first."

"Yeah." Li Luo nodded and watched Xu Youyu's elevator door close. For a moment, he was lost in memories.

In fact, Li Luo was quite familiar with Grandma Yu.

Because Grandma Yu’s husband loves barbecue, he also thought of opening a barbecue restaurant.

At first, it was just a dinner party with some friends, but later it became somewhat famous and many acquaintances from Qianjiang University loved to come.

Over time it became an old store.

In his previous life, when he and Xu Youyu had a date in person for the first time, Xu Youyu took him out to eat once.

Missing the taste of the barbecue in that restaurant a bit, Li Luo shook his head and laughed, then turned and walked towards Bi Hai Lan Ting.

……

After returning to Bi Hai Lan Ting 1502, Li Guohong just came back from a drive.

Lin Xiuhong had already washed the dishes, and the couple took a rest in the living room.

"We're going to buy New Year's goods tomorrow morning, remember to get up early." Lin Xiuhong said to Li Luo, then looked at Li Guohong, "What did Zhicheng say? He should be going back with us, right?"

"Well, let's go back together." Li Guohong nodded, "He should be back tonight, but..."

"But what?" Lin Xiuhong asked puzzledly.

"Isn't tomorrow the 6th? And the 7th is New Year's Eve." Li Guohong said, "Zhu Sheng's mother seems to have come with Zhicheng. She said she wanted to accompany Zhu Sheng to our countryside first, so that she could pay New Year's greetings in advance."

"Then she has to leave tomorrow evening to catch a plane to the capital and participate in the Spring Festival Gala."

"Come back after the event and pick up Zhu Sheng to go abroad."

"Oh, is that so? That's great." When Lin Xiuhong heard that Yuan Wanqing was also coming to visit, she immediately laughed, "I went to Qiongzhou for a trip a few days ago, it was a pity that they didn't come. Now we can get together again."

"But after Wanqing's Spring Festival Gala, can't she stay with us for a few more days?"

"Can we wait until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year before leaving?"

"Why do we have to wait until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year?" Li Guohong looked puzzled. "People go abroad to recuperate and see a doctor. We shouldn't delay them."

"I'm just asking." Lin Xiuhong said, "I was just chatting with Su Ling. Our two families have such a good relationship, we have to get together during the New Year."

"Su Ling said that her family is free on the fifth day of the New Year, and we can go to the countryside to pay New Year's greetings then."

"I was thinking, if Zhicheng and Wanqing were here too, wouldn't it be quite lively?"

"Is that so?" Li Guohong nodded, as if thinking about something. "Then I'll let Zhicheng ask. If it really delays someone's trip, forget it."

"Okay, that's what I said."

Li Luo, who was standing by, couldn't help but tremble in his heart as he listened to what his parents said. He wondered if Aunt Yuan was going to go back to the countryside with them as well?

To be honest, if Ying Chanxi had not invited Yan Zhusheng, Ying Zhicheng would most likely not have taken Yuan Wanqing and Yan Zhusheng back with him.

After all, this is too abrupt.

But this time it happened that Ying Chanxi took the initiative to invite Yan Zhusheng to celebrate the New Year in the countryside, which allowed Ying Zhicheng to take advantage of the situation and bring Yuan Wanqing back as well.

Li Luo felt a little excited just thinking about that scene at this moment.

Uncle Ying is really bold... Isn't he afraid of being discovered?
