"No problem," Ning Siqi sighed helplessly. She then gave Xia Liang a surprised look. "You have a car? Oh, right. You're a landlord tycoon, after all, so of course you do."

"Let's go, I'll give you a ride," Xia Liang said with a casual smile.

As soon as they reached the entrance, they saw the Aston Martin parked by the curb. A crowd had already formed around it, with people pointing, talking, and even taking photos with their phones. The moment Xia Liang and Ning Siqi walked over, countless men in the vicinity stared, their eyes wide. A few young smokers were so transfixed they dropped their cigarettes without even noticing.

"Whoa, oh my god! When did this sports car get here?" Ning Siqi gasped, covering her mouth as she took in the sight of the all-black Aston Martin, its body defined by full, flowing lines. Her attention was now completely captivated by the car, leaving her oblivious to the stares from the people around them.

"Is this an Aston Martin?" she exclaimed, hurrying forward to circle the vehicle.

It's often said that loving cars is a man's nature, but some women's passion for automobiles is no less intense. Ning Siqi happened to be one of those women. In fact, Xia Liang probably knew less than half of what she did about cars.

"It really is an Aston Martin!" Ning Siqi praised, full of admiration. "This car is incredibly valuable! It's not something you can get just by having money."

"Who would've thought your residential complex housed a super God of Wealth?" As Ning Siqi spoke, she leaned over slightly. The movement caused her blazer to stretch taut across her full figure, making the hearts of several onlookers skip a beat.

Noticing the strange expression on Xia Liang's face, Ning Siqi said apologetically, "Wait a second, let me take a picture. Sorry," she added, "it's my first time seeing a car like this up close. I can't resist snapping a couple of photos."

"Go ahead," Xia Liang replied, the corner of his mouth twitching.

"It's just that this model is so rare, I can't help but get excited," Ning Siqi explained, before turning to Xia Liang with a grin. "You probably don't know what this is, do you? Let me fill you in. This is an Aston Martin! There are very few of them in the entire world, with a price tag of over forty million Yuan. It's something ordinary people can't even dream of. This might be the only one in all of Qingyun City!"

"This young lady certainly knows her cars. You're right, it is an Aston Martin," a young man in gold-rimmed glasses chimed in, stepping forward and giving Ning Siqi an appreciative glance.

"Yeah, she really knows her stuff!" the onlookers, snapping out of their daze, voiced their agreement.

"Is it really that amazing?" Xia Liang asked, shaking his head nonchalantly. To be honest, while the car was rare, it wasn't nearly as valuable as his Lamborghini Poison.

The young man in the gold-rimmed glasses adjusted his frames, subtly flashing the expensive-looking watch on his wrist. "This young man clearly hasn't seen much of the world," he scoffed.

"Yeah, buddy, if you don't know anything, you should keep your mouth shut! You could learn a thing or two from this beautiful lady," another passerby added. Fueled by excitement, several others began to chime in.

"It's not an exaggeration, it's a fact," Ning Siqi said, bending down again to snap two more photos. "I wonder if some top-tier, second-generation scion moved into the complex. How else could someone get their hands on a car like this?"

After she spoke, a look of envy filled her eyes. "If I could just sit inside it once, my life would be complete."

She stood up straight, revealing a pair of long, slender legs in white peep-toe heels. Her short blazer was stretched taut, outlining her perfect curves, and the two small dimples on her face made her look utterly alluring. Xia Liang let his gaze sweep over her for a moment before looking away.

This Ning Siqi is certainly a mature and captivating woman, a true natural-born stunner.

"Ahem." It was a bit embarrassing to hear people indirectly praise him, but honestly, it felt pretty great!

"Alright, we should get going. It'll be awkward if the owner comes down and sees us," Ning Siqi urged after she finished taking her pictures. She shook her head with a hint of regret. "I wonder if I'll ever get the chance to ride in a car like this, even in my next life."

Xia Liang had been debating whether to interrupt her when he heard her lament. A classic meme came to mind, and he couldn't help but chuckle as he teased her, "Well, if you really had the choice, would you rather be crying in this car or laughing on the back of a bicycle?"

Several of the onlookers craned their necks, curious to hear her answer.

"Xia Liang, you..." Ning Siqi's expression hardened. She was no naive young girl; she knew exactly what he was implying.

Seeing her reaction, Xia Liang let out a loud laugh and quickly changed the subject. "I'm just kidding! Let's get going, you've got places to be." With that, he walked toward the driver's side door of the Aston Martin.

"Hey, Xia Liang, what are you doing?! That's someone else's car, don't touch it!" Ning Siqi cried out, startled. Although she knew he owned ten buildings and collected rent, that was just real estate in her mind. She couldn't imagine him spending over forty million Yuan on a car.

"Hey, man, don't mess with that! You can't afford to pay for the damages!" the young man with the gold-rimmed glasses shouted, equally alarmed.

"What do you mean? I'm getting in the car so we can go," Xia Liang chuckled, ignoring the gawking onlookers.

"Don't..." Ning Siqi started to say as she walked over, but she stopped short when she saw Xia Liang pull out a key fob and press a button.

A collective gasp went through the crowd as the Aston Martin's door slowly swung upward, opening like a butterfly's wing. Xia Liang slid into the driver's seat and looked over at Ning Siqi with a grin. Everyone else looked as if they had been struck by lightning, utterly dumbfounded.

Holy shit, this car is his? Everyone present was completely floored.

The young man with the gold-rimmed glasses, who had just been mocking Xia Liang, felt his face flush as red as a baboon's behind. What was I just doing? Mocking the car's owner for not knowing about cars? Remembering his own behavior, the man felt a wave of profound awkwardness wash over him. He could feel the crowd's gaze shift, their expressions now completely different. Silently cursing Xia Liang for being such a show-off, he turned and quickly walked away.

The rest of the crowd finally snapped back to reality, and the scene erupted.

"Holy crap, that was the smoothest flex I've ever seen!"

"I'm so jealous! When will I ever get to drive a car like that?"

"Hey, wasn't some guy just mocking him a minute ago? What an absolute joke."

"Don't bother looking, man, he bolted."

"Damn right! The passenger seat of a supercar never disappoints!"

Ning Siqi's mind was completely blank. She stared dumbly at Xia Liang as he waved at her, finding the whole situation impossible to believe.

That car belongs to Xia Liang? Doesn't that mean he saw my entire embarrassing display just now?

At that thought, her face instantly flushed scarlet, a blush that spread all the way to her ears, turning them a delicate pink that looked irresistibly tempting.
