Chapter 68 Get in the car!
Xia Lili held up her mobile phone to take a selfie, and the dozen or so plush dolls hanging on her body swayed gently with her movements.
She adjusted her expression towards the camera, her lips curled up into a perfect arc.
As soon as the "click" sounded, a black Land Rover Range Rover stopped steadily in front of her.
The driver's window slowly lowered, revealing Li Qihan's well-defined profile.
Xia Lili's smile froze instantly.
Li Qihan looked at her with his dark eyes: "Get in the car."
——"Where are you going? Another mission?"
Xia Lili's round almond-shaped eyes were filled with doubts, and her eyelashes looked like they were coated with gold powder in the sunset.
"Take you home."
Li Qihan's eyes swept over the dolls all over her body, and his brows frowned slightly.
Xia Lili immediately became servile: "Thank you, Captain Li, you are so kind~"
Her voice was clear and pleasant, and the trophies hanging on her body swayed happily with her movements.
The afterglow of the setting sun gently enveloped her, making the fur of the dolls sparkle.
Li Qihan looked away unnaturally, his Adam's apple moving slightly, and his tone became even colder: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just worried that something might happen to the police station's lucky star."
He urged, "Get in the car."
Xia Lili sat in the passenger seat with her arms full of dolls, and the soft dolls almost drowned her.
A pouting octopus accidentally rubbed against the back of Li Qihan's hand as she moved.
He immediately frowned and pushed the doll away with a look of disgust.
"Captain Li, thank you anyway."
Xia Lili looked down at the spoils in her arms and smiled brightly. "As a thank you, do you like any of these dolls? How about picking a few and taking them?"
Li Qihan's eyes quickly swept over the dolls, and his jawline unconsciously tightened.
"I don't like dolls."
His voice was colder than the air conditioning in the car, "I'm not as childish as you."
Xia Lili helplessly said "Oh" and fastened her seat belt obediently. The dolls huddled together in her arms.
The car fell silent for a moment, with only the faint sound of the air conditioner running.
Xia Lili looked at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window and suddenly thought of something: "Captain Li, didn't you arrest the thieves at noon?"
"Why did you just come out of Ocean Park now?"
"Some safety matters need to be coordinated with the park." Li Qihan's answer was brief and clear, his eyes always fixed on the road ahead.
"Oh, right." He suddenly reached out and took out a gold-stamped envelope from the car's storage compartment. The envelope was printed with a cartoon pattern of Ocean Park.
"After the owner of Ocean Park learned that a kind-hearted citizen had provided clues about the thief, he gave us two lifetime gold tickets and entrusted us to deliver them to the kind-hearted person."
Xia Lili took the envelope and opened it. Inside were two beautifully designed Ocean Park lifetime VIP gold cards, which shone with a luxurious golden luster under the car lights.
The preferential terms in the attached notice of use made her eyes widen in surprise.
Gold cardholders can enjoy queue-skipping service and a monthly shopping quota of 5,000 in the park. They can spend money in the park's restaurants, roadside stalls, vending machines and surrounding stores, and receive three nights of accommodation in the park's theme hotel every month.
"Wow, Ocean Park tickets are only three hundred dollars each. That's a huge profit! And now I have a five thousand dollar monthly shopping allowance!"
Xia Lili held the gold card and looked at it repeatedly, her fingertips trembling with excitement.
Li Qihan caught a glimpse of her money-obsessed look and raised the corner of his mouth imperceptibly: "You helped the park avoid a major risk this time, so they must have made a profit."
His eyes inadvertently fell on the plush frog bracelet on her left hand, and his tone faded:
"Then you and your boyfriend can go to Ocean Park every day."
"Not his boyfriend." Xia Lili shook her head and said, "I'm his savior."
Li Qihan hummed softly, his voice perfunctory: "Well, no."
Seeing his sarcastic look, Xia Lili spread her hands and said helplessly, "If you think so, there's nothing I can do."
Li Qihan: “…”
His fingers tightened slightly around the steering wheel.
As the night deepened, Xia Lili, arms full of stuffed animals, walked briskly downstairs toward her apartment building. She hummed a tuneless tune, occasionally pinching the tentacles of the pink octopus in her arms, her lips curling up unconsciously.
As she reached the door, a patrolling security guard noticed her and his eyes fell on the black Range Rover behind her, which hadn't left yet. He jokingly said, "Hey, little girl, has your bestie bought another luxury car?"
——Mi Weiler would drive her Mercedes-Benz to pick up Xia Lili every time after a dinner date. The security guard and Mi Weiler already knew each other, and Mi Weiler had specifically asked the uncle to take care of Xia Lili and Xia Xubai.
So this time, the uncle naturally thought that the person sitting in the car was still the young lady.
Xia Lili was stunned and looked back at Li Qihan's car.
The lines of the car body are cold and hard, with a low-key metallic luster under the street lights. The windows are dark and the figures inside cannot be seen clearly.
She blinked, a little confused: "Ah? Is that a luxury car?"
She didn't know much about cars, but this one seemed quite spacious to her.
The security guard was amused and gave a thumbs-up gesture: "That's a Range Rover. The cheapest one costs over a million!"
Xia Lili widened her eyes slightly, and countless guesses flashed through her mind instantly - could Captain Li be some rich second-generation with a hidden identity, who came to the police station to pursue the value of life?
Why is the gap between people so big!
Xia Lili quickly recovered and waved her hand with a smile: "Hehe, when I become rich in the future, I will drive my own luxury car back to the community!"
The uncle laughed heartily: "Okay! When you drive a luxury car, you must take me for a ride!"
Xia Lili nodded vigorously, holding the baby and walking briskly into the community.
The black Land Rover behind her didn't drive away until her figure completely disappeared in the elevator.
Three days later.
At 7:30 in the morning, Xia Lili woke up.
She is going to attend Mrs. Bai's birthday party today. Tang Mingqian's assistant called her last night to tell her that a special car will pick her up at 8 o'clock in the morning for breakfast.
Afterwards, she was taken to choose clothes and have her hair styled, and finally to the birthday party venue, Xuanji Water Palace. According to the assistant, it was a high-end club that contracted most of the ocean.
This tight schedule, like that of a celebrity, made Xia Lili wake up very early as it was her first time attending such an event.
While washing up, Xia Lili habitually checks her phone.
The latest update on her Moments was posted by her college roommate Lin Jiaojiao, who was targeting her.
The photos posted by Lin Jiaojiao showed a restaurant with an aquarium-like setting, as well as retouched photos of Lin Jiaojiao's side face and back.
Lin Jiaojiao wore a blue evening dress, a dazzling jewel necklace and a watch, and posed in various ways.
The post on the friend circle read: I came to my grandfather’s birthday party in advance to check out the venue. This Dragon Palace Banquet Hall is pretty good~
There were also likes and comments on this post from two of my roommates and other college classmates.
Two roommates commented:
[Thank you Princess Jiaojiao for showing us the world. Otherwise, I might never have been able to enter a private beach in my life.]
I wish the great calligrapher Grandpa Jiaojiao good fortune and a long life.
Judging from these two comments, Lin Jiaojiao invited these two followers to attend her grandfather's birthday party.
