After returning home, Shen Nan was completely subdued by Zhou Zuizui and had no temper at all.
But the questions that need to be asked should still be asked.
Shen Nan lay on the bed, pulled the person into his arms and pressed them down, casually asking, "Is that man a colleague of yours?"
"Mmm." Zhou Zuizui responded lazily, burying her head against his chest and rubbing against him, squinting her eyes as she said, "It's that colleague/mentor who went in for the internship together."
She said, "We all drank tonight, but he didn't, so I just dropped him off on my way."
Zhou Zuizui didn't mind telling Shen Nan about these things at all. The two of them didn't spend much time together, so they could talk about anything they could to avoid misunderstandings.
As she spoke, she made an "eh" sound, thought about what Chen Shasha had said that evening, and chuckled.
Shen Nan was taken aback, and looked down at her: "What are you laughing at?"
"My colleague is just kind of cute." She briefly explained the situation and couldn't help but sigh, "Where there are many women, there are bound to be many troubles. That's absolutely true."
Upon hearing this, Shen Nan raised an eyebrow at her and asked with a smile, "Will I buy you a car?"
Zhou Zuizui looked at him with disdain: "With your meager salary, you should just forget about it."
Shen Nan: "…………"
Soldiers' salaries are indeed not very high. And Zhou Zuizui wasn't really looking down on it; she just felt it wasn't necessary. She had her own money. Actually, it wasn't just Zhou Zuizui who was rich; Shen Nan was rich too. Although Shen Nan's salary wasn't high, his mother was very wealthy. When the two got married, she gave them two houses and a credit card.
If she remembered correctly, the money in that card was enough to buy several luxury cars, but Zhou Zuizui never wanted it and left it with Shen Nan. Shen Nan hadn't touched it either. He wanted to return it to his mother, but she kept complaining that he could be harsh on himself but not on his wife.
Moreover, Zhou Zuizui comes from a good family. Even though her parents' situation is complicated, it doesn't change the fact that her family is wealthy.
Shen's mother's family were also business people. Generally speaking, business people make money faster and in greater quantities than people who work regular jobs.
Mentioning this, Shen Nan remembered. He stood up, took out a card from the side, and handed it to Zhou Zuizui: "The card Mom gave us when we got married."
Zhou Zuizui was taken aback and looked at Chen Nan in surprise: "You can keep it yourself, why are you giving it to me?"
She doesn't lack money; on the contrary, she has quite a lot of assets.
"No." Shen Nan insisted on giving it to her, and said softly, "Here, buy whatever you want."
He chuckled and said, "Although my salary isn't high, giving you all of it is no problem at all." He coaxed softly, "Don't try to save me money; my family isn't short of cash."
Zhou Zuizui was both amused and exasperated, but seeing Shen Nan's insistence, she didn't refuse.
"I've saved it for you, but I don't know how to use it."
"Use it," Shen Nan said. "Don't try to save money for our mother."
Zhou Zuizui laughed, put the card aside and said, "Actually, I mainly look down on the cars that are currently available. I like modified cars. I'll ask Ai Zeyang next time if I can modify a car for him."
Upon hearing this, Shen Nan pondered for a moment and said, "Ask him?"
"Um."
"Why didn't you ask me?" he said sourly, looking down at the person in his arms, as if puzzled. "Why didn't you ask me?"
Zhou Zuizui: "..." She was stunned for a moment, looking at Shen Nan's expression, and subconsciously asked, "Do you have time?"
Shen Nan snorted and leaned down to kiss her: "Yes."
Zhou Zuizui chuckled, knowing that this person was jealous again, and quickly coaxed, "Okay, okay, then I'll leave it to you."
"OK."
Shen Nan picked up his phone and sent a message. A few minutes later, he said to Zhou Zuizui, "Let's go take a look tomorrow."
Zhou Zuizui: "..."
She was completely outmatched in terms of action.
The next day, Shen Nan went to the training location for half a day, and then came back and went out with Zhou Zuizui.
The two arranged to go look at cars. Zhou Zuizui didn't ask many questions, but instead had Shen Nan lead her to a relatively secluded place. Surprisingly, there were many luxury cars parked in front of the store.
Shen Nan explained simply, "Many racing enthusiasts modify their cars here."
Lu Jiaxiu and his friends were into cars when they were younger; men often have a special fascination with cars, so it's not surprising. Besides, Lu Jiaxiu and his friends were wealthy, so it's normal for them to enjoy cars. Zhou Zuizui used to be into cars too, but back then her money was limited, and she mostly drove cars that Ai Zeyang gave her.
Ai Zeyang was a real spendthrift during his university years.
After the two arrived, there was a new car exhibition on one side.
Shen Nan glanced at her: "What type do you like?"
Zhou Zuizui paused for a moment, then whispered, "Keep a low profile, don't be too flashy." After all, she was still at work.
Shen Nan disagreed, insisting, "Let's buy an expensive one." He said, "It will have better safety features."
Thinking that his wife might misunderstand, Shen Nan added, "I have money, you don't need to be frugal with me, we don't need Mom's money."
He was indeed wealthy, and his money was obtained through perfectly legitimate means. Although soldiers are not allowed to do business outside the military, their salaries are not as low as Zhou Zuizui imagined, and Shen Nan basically doesn't spend any money. At his level, his benefits are quite good.
Buying my wife a car is no problem at all.
Zhou Zuizui: "…………"
In the end, after being introduced to various options, Zhou Zuizui decided to buy a Mercedes-Benz G-Class. She didn't plan to drive it often, just occasionally for fun. She discussed with Shen Nan that they would drive the Audi downstairs in Shen Nan's apartment complex to work. That car was a gift from Shen Nan's mother to the two of them, and they had never driven it before.
Shen Nan, when he went to the team, usually drove the team's cars and rarely drove his own.
Thinking about it, Zhou Zuizui sighed softly, "Actually, we don't have to buy a car."
"No way," Shen Nan said sarcastically, "Everyone's making fun of my wife for being poor."
She rolled her eyes, speechless. "That's okay. I know I have money, that's enough for me." She whispered in Shen Nan's ear, "But I'm still very happy to have bought the G-Class. I can drive it around and have fun in the future."
She'd wanted to buy one before, but never had the chance. It was completely useless in the old town; Zhou Zuizui hardly ever left the house, so the car was a bit of a waste for her. But now it's different; she wants to go out more often.
Whether she's with Shen Nan or alone, she wants to see more of the world. She has always longed for the freedom of the world.
After the two made their arrangements, Shen Nan went to negotiate with someone and agreed on the modifications before leaving with Zhou Zuizui.
It was already evening when Shen Nan looked at her and said, "Let's go out for dinner tonight."
Are you going back to the team tomorrow afternoon?
"Yes, the training camp starts at five in the morning, and we go back the night before."
Zhou Zuizui nodded, indicating that she understood. So the two only had less than a day left to be together before they had to separate for a month.
Thinking about it, I'm a little reluctant to part with it.
However, what followed was something Zhou Zuizui had never expected.
After dinner, Shen Nan would take her shopping at the mall, and all the stores they went into were luxury stores.
After buying two bags, Zhou Zuizui absolutely refused to buy any more. She helplessly pulled Shen Nan's hand and walked forward, saying, "Don't buy any more. I really don't need any more bags. I just don't want to carry any."
Shen Nan raised an eyebrow: "Really?"
"Of course." Zhou Zuizui glanced at him speechlessly. "I'm really not buying anything. I'll definitely buy something if I like it, but there's nothing I like right now."
Actually, she owns many designer bags, but they were only in the ancient town. She bought a few more here after returning, but she doesn't carry them often.
After confirming that she genuinely disliked it, Shen Nan didn't force her.
"Go take a look over there." Shen Nan glanced down at her hand and asked softly, "Where's your ring?"
Zhou Zuizui: "..." She chuckled, "I'm at home, so don't buy a ring. I'll wear it to work the day after tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Shen Nan nodded: "Okay."
Zhou Zuizui was both amused and exasperated: "Go and queue up to buy me a cup of milk tea, I'll go sit over there for a while."
The two of them had already put their things in the car, and Zhou Zuizui didn't want to carry them. She was also a little tired from walking.
"Okay." After asking her what she wanted to drink, Shen Nan obediently went to line up.
Zhou Zuizui looked around, and just as she was about to find a seat after he left, a familiar face appeared opposite her.
It's Chen Shasha.
It was a tiny, almost coincidental coincidence. She smiled slightly, but before she could speak, Chen Shasha had already seen her.
"Sister Zui Zui".
She walked over to her with a big smile, holding a cup of milk tea in her hand. Zhou Zuizui glanced at it and regretted letting Shen Nan buy this brand of milk tea as well.
Why.
She smiled faintly, the corners of her mouth curving upwards: "Sasha, are you shopping around here?"
Chen Shasha nodded and pointed to her friend on the side, saying, "This is my friend. We're here to buy things today." She looked at Zhou Zuizui's empty hands, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Zuizui, did you come alone? How long have you been here?"
Zhou Zuizui was slightly taken aback, then calculated the time and said, "About an hour."
Chen Shasha nodded and looked at her: "Would you like some milk tea? I'll go buy you another one."
"No need," Zhou Zuizui declined with a smile, "Thank you."
Chen Shasha exclaimed "Ah!" and said with a smile, "I thought it was something important that you couldn't come with me to pick up the car today, Sister Zui Zui. Turns out you're just out shopping by yourself."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zuizui raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "I'm not alone."
"Ah..." Chen Shasha was taken aback: "Really?"
She didn't seem to care about that and pulled Zhou Zuizui along, saying, "Zuizui, are you still going shopping? Do you want to ask your friend to come with us?" She said, "Zuizui, your clothes are all so beautiful. You must have great taste. I'm thinking of buying some clothes, but I haven't seen anything I like after walking around."
Although Zhou Zuizui thought her clothes were quite nice, she really didn't want to go shopping with the two girls in front of her. Moreover... these girls were probably still a bit naive, and their words were too obvious.
Zhou Zuizui paused, suppressed the urge to smile, and said softly, "No need, you guys have fun."
"Sister Zui Zui, are you really not coming along?"
“Yes.” Zhou Zuizui smiled and looked up to meet the gaze of the man still queuing not far away. She curled her lips and said, “Sister Zuizui just wants to look around. There’s nothing I want to buy.”
"Ah..." Chen Shasha said with slight regret, "Why didn't we go together? Sister Zui Zui, aren't you going to buy anything? Everyone's here shopping."
The implication behind those words was so obvious that Zhou Zuizui was too embarrassed to retort.
She thought about it for a moment. After all, she was just a young girl who had just entered society and didn't know anything yet, so she didn't want to argue with her and just smiled in response.
"I don't need anything, no need to buy anything." She smiled and waved her hand, "You guys go ahead, be ready to shop early..."
Before the last two words could be uttered, a man in a suit appeared on the side, followed by two other men in different suits, who looked like bodyguards from the mall.
"Young Madam," the man in front of Zhou Zuizui greeted respectfully, "Why didn't you inform us of your arrival?"
The man in front of me smiled and said, "It will be easier for us to receive you."
Zhou Zuizui was stunned for a moment, then smiled after meeting the gaze of the man not far away.
Zhou Zuizui glanced at the name pinned to the left side of his suit jacket and called out, "Manager Chen."
Manager Chen exclaimed "Oh!" and looked at Chen Shasha and her friend, who were stunned to the side. He smiled slightly and asked, "Are these the young mistress's friends? Would you like to go upstairs and sit down for a while and rest?"
Chen Shasha was still in a daze. After a while, she blinked and looked at the people in front of her, speechless.
"Sister Zui Zui, who is this?"
Manager Chen smiled faintly: "Hello, miss, I am the manager of the mall."
Chen Shasha blinked suddenly, looking at Zhou Zuizui in astonishment.
As if knowing what she was thinking, the manager explained, "This is our young mistress."
If Chen Shasha still didn't understand by now, she wouldn't be able to get into the newspaper office. She finally realized what was happening, staring wide-eyed at Zhou Zuizui, opening her mouth to speak: "Sister Zuizui, this is..."
Manager Chen quickly replied, "This is our young mistress's family property."
He looked at Zhou Zuizui with utmost respect: "Young Madam, just let us know if you need anything, and we'll deliver it directly to you."
Zhou Zuizui paused, smiled and said, "There's nothing I need. I just came here with your young master for a meal and to look around."
Chen Shasha's face paled slightly. She finally realized that Zhou Zuizui's words earlier were not just polite talk. She really didn't need anything; she was just casually browsing around.
She smiled awkwardly, met her friend's gaze, and quickly said, "Then, Sister Zui Zui, we won't bother you any longer. We have something to do and will be leaving now."
After saying that, she didn't wait for Zhou Zuizui's reply, and quickly left with her friend, almost as if she were fleeing in panic.
As soon as the person left, Shen Nan came over.
The manager called out, and Shen Nan nodded, "Thank you for your hard work. The young mistress and I have other matters to attend to, so you can go ahead and get back to work."
"Okay, call me anytime if you need anything."
After Manager Chen left, Zhou Zuizui looked at Shen Nan with a wry smile, raised her eyebrows and asked teasingly, "Aren't you childish?"
Shen Nan nodded, handed her the milk tea, and frankly admitted, "Childish."
He looked at the smiling woman with a smile in his eyes and asked, "But, are you happy?"
Zhou Zuizui answered without hesitation, "Happy."
Although it was childish, I was still somewhat happy. My vanity was greatly satisfied.
She honestly didn't care much about Chen Shasha's showing off. Because Chen Shasha was rich, although not exactly a tycoon, she was definitely richer than the average person.
Zhou Zuizui wasn't a low-key person either. The reason she didn't care was because she thought it was childish. She was older than Chen Shasha and seemed to be a little richer, so it didn't matter to her.
However, she was still very happy that someone was willing to protect her like this.
Naïve, vain, but genuinely happy.
She looked at Shen Nan with a smile, her eyes crinkling, and chuckled, "Your maternal grandfather's business?"
"Yes." Shen Nan touched the tip of his nose sheepishly and said, "I happen to know Manager Chen, so I made a phone call."
They rarely contact each other, but Shen Nan has all the necessary contact methods. His maternal grandfather has a son and a daughter. His mother is the eldest, and his grandfather has always doted on his daughter. Shen Nan's mother has shares in the business, and although Shen Nan's family doesn't need them at all, she wholeheartedly prepares everything for her son, who is the only son.
Thinking about Chen Shasha's expression just now, Zhou Zuizui couldn't help but laugh.
"It seems like I've completely offended her," she said with a laugh. She figured Chen Shasha wouldn't give her a friendly look at the newspaper anymore.
It doesn't matter.
Shen Nan raised an eyebrow, looking intently at her, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, you have your husband to protect you. If others bully you, you have someone to back you up."

Captain Shen, the doting husband! Was that a decent display of swagger?!
