Accidentally Married to the Big Shot

Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Women, You Need to Provide Them with a Sense of Security

Su Meixi paused for a moment and then typed a sentence, “You don’t need to ask for my opinion. If you want to buy it, just buy it. I have no right to stop you.”

But feeling the tone was too harsh, she deleted that sentence and then sent the message.

Gu Wei replied, “Do you have any preferred models or types of cars?”

Su Meixi: “No.”

Gu Wei: “Then I’ll make the decision and buy one first. We can all use the car at home.”

After a while, Gu Wei sent another message, “Today is our wedding anniversary. What would you like to eat after work?”

Su Meixi did not immediately reply to his message.

Normally, when people talk about an anniversary, they refer to the wedding day, not the day they registered their marriage.

As a child, influenced by certain idol dramas, she had hoped to find her Prince Charming and walk into the wedding hall with him. She even secretly sketched out the wedding dress she wanted to wear in the future in her notebook.

But Gu Wei had never mentioned anything about it, and she hadn’t either, so there probably wouldn’t be a wedding.

Well, let’s just treat this marriage as marking time.

Although there was no wedding, Gu Wei had sorted out the house and car, so she couldn’t ask for too much.

Besides, even if they had a wedding, who could she invite? Who would genuinely wish her well?

As she was about to reply to Gu Wei, a message arrived from the work group chat: there was a training session tonight with a provincial expert coming to give a lecture, and Mr. Wang required all doctors who were not on duty to attend.

Su Meixi then replied to Gu Wei, “I’m busy tonight. Eat by yourself.”

…

Gu Wei was sitting in a resting area of the car exhibition center, looking at the message Su Meixi had sent him.

Since their registration, Su Meixi’s attitude had been very cold, much like a scoundrel who had tricked someone into commitment, which made him feel somewhat disheartened.

After thinking for a while, he sent a message to Gu Cheng, “Brother, I completed the marriage registration today.”

Gu Cheng replied almost instantly, “Congratulations, now I’m the only bachelor left in the family.”

“But I feel like Ah Xi isn’t very happy. She’s a bit hard to figure out. Brother, do you know why?”

Gu Cheng was probably busy. It took him ten minutes to reply, “Don’t try to figure out women. Just give her a sense of security.”

After thinking it over carefully, Gu Wei seemed to understand something.

So, he strode towards the Land Rover section.

He took a fancy to a white Land Rover Range Rover. This SUV looked very imposing, perfect for giving a woman a sense of security.

“Do you have this model in stock? What’s the price?” Gu Wei asked the Land Rover salesperson.

“The base model costs about 700,000 bare, and with miscellaneous fees and registration, it comes to about 800,000. Sir, are you looking for immediate possession? The stock ones require full payment, would you mind a demo car?”

“I don’t mind. Put the car under my wife’s name, and I’ll make the full payment.”

The salesperson smiled broadly, “Alright sir, you can process the paperwork here and drive it away today.”

So, Gu Wei went to swipe his card.

He decided to gift this car to Su Meixi; he had several cars in another residence, the cheapest of which cost over a million, but those were used by him, so he decided to give her a brand-new one.

…

Su Meixi’s training session wouldn’t end until 9:30 tonight.

Once the training was over, she walked to the hospital entrance.

She had come by taxi in the morning, so she either had to take a bus or get a cab in the evening.

The bus at this time only came every half hour, and she had just missed one. The next one wasn’t until 10 o’clock, so Su Meixi decided to call a cab.

Coincidentally, Li Pingping was also waiting at the entrance for her boyfriend to pick her up.

Upon seeing Su Meixi, Li Pingping provocatively asked, “Dr. Su, why aren’t you driving your electric scooter?”

Su Meixi took out her phone, opened the app, and replied, “I didn’t bring the electric scooter.”

Li Pingping then scornfully said, “Your boyfriend can afford such a big house, why doesn’t he save some money to buy a car?”

Just as Li Pingping finished speaking, a white Land Rover pulled up in front of Su Meixi, the window half down, and Gu Wei called out from inside, “Ah Xi, get in the car.”

Su Meixi was momentarily stunned.

The car hadn’t been registered yet, it must have been bought today.

Why did he buy such a big, rugged car? It totally fits his personality.

It seems he bought it according to his own taste, without considering her.

Well, it’s his money, he can buy whatever car he wants.

Su Meixi got into the passenger seat, and reached to fasten the seatbelt, but since she hadn’t ridden in this type of car before, the seatbelt jammed and she couldn’t pull it down.

Seeing this, Gu Wei quickly leaned over to help her pull down and fasten the seatbelt.

He was very close to her and Su Meixi could feel his breath; her body stiffened involuntarily and she didn’t dare to move.

“All set,” Gu Wei said.

Su Meixi murmured an acknowledgment.

Once he was seated, she asked, “This car… was it bought today?”

“Yes, do you like it?”

Su Meixi thought, why should it matter to you whether I like it or not? If you like it, that’s enough.

“How much did it cost?” she asked.

“It wasn’t very expensive, just over 800,000.”

“You… are that wealthy?” Su Meixi asked.

Gu Wei paused, thinking 800,000 wasn’t expensive.

Considering the disparity between their family circumstances, to avoid frightening her, he said, “My brother lent me 200,000.”

Su Meixi clenched her teeth. “I’ve saved a bit over the years from being frugal, totaling almost 200,000 as well. I’ll transfer it to you so you can repay your brother.”

“Is that really necessary?” Gu Wei felt it wasn’t needed.

Stubbornly, Su Meixi said, “Since we’re married, our money is shared property. Besides, you said this car was bought for both of us to use. I can’t contribute nothing, and besides, a soldier like you can’t have much of a salary, right?”

Gu Wei was speechless.

Where did she get the idea his salary wasn’t high?

“Let’s not talk about this now; let’s go home.” @@novelbin@@

…

Li Pingping watched as Su Meixi got into Gu Wei’s car, a car she recognized; her boyfriend often mentioned that when he had money, he would definitely get a Land Rover.

This was clearly a new car and not cheaply priced either.

Li Pingping clenched her fists, feeling a flame of jealousy burning within her.

What on earth did Su Meixi have?

She quickly snapped a photo of the Land Rover with her phone and sent it to Han Ningzhen.

“Ningzhen, this is Su Meixi’s husband’s car.”

Han Ningzhen didn’t reply, probably hadn’t seen the message yet.

At that moment, Li Pingping’s boyfriend also arrived by car.

Seeing her boyfriend’s car, a Japanese model worth about 200,000, for the first time she thought it looked low-end.

“What’s wrong, baby? You seem upset,” her boyfriend asked.

Li Pingping resentfully said, “I just can’t stand some female doctors who, just because they are attractive, use the opportunity from consultations to hook up with rich male patients, demanding they buy them houses and cars.”

Her boyfriend, also indignant, responded, “These women can only profit from their youth for a few years; after that, who will even look at them? Whatever they grab will eventually have to be paid back.”

Li Pingping scoffed, “That’s exactly what I think too.”

…

In a new district in Feng City, Han Ningzhen had just finished a workout with Qi Anran, and both were lying on the bed exhausted.

“Baby, how was that move just now? Great, wasn’t it?” Qi Anran, holding Han Ningzhen, asked.
