Chapter 48: Daily Errands
Panda Novel
The Ferrari drove out of the campus smoothly and entered the road outside. It wasn’t very hot because it rained last night, so the weather was quite breezy and pleasant.
The Ferrari Zhao Hongyu drove was a two-seat roadster. Her charming figure and stylish attire caught a lot of attention from the pedestrians while they waited for the red lights even though she was wearing sunglasses.
On the contrary, Hao Ren was dressed very casually, and that didn’t really match up with the scene.
“Ren, it’s still early, how about I take you to a mall and buy some clothes for you?” Zhao Hongyu turned her head around and asked Hao Ren.
“Em, no thanks. I’m comfortable with what I’m wearing now,” Hao Ren answered as he touched his clothes.
He got most of his clothes from the light textile market around his university. The clothes there usually didn’t have any brand names, and there was a vast price difference between them and those sold in the mall. However, Hao Ren didn’t care much about that as long as the clothes were comfortable to wear. It didn’t bother him if some of the clothes were worn out.
Zhao Hongyu didn’t want to force Hao Ren. Suddenly, she smiled and said, “Did Su Han give you the necklace, it seems that she has accepted you already.”
Wooom!
The roadster dashed out as soon as the green light went on.
Her driving skills seemed first-class to Hao Ren. The red Ferrari was smoothly shuttling back and forth between the traffic flow on the broad road.
“It is hard to tell that Zhao Hongyu, who is so gentle and kind, could be so aggressive while driving,” Hao Ren thought as he secretly stared at the side of her calm and graceful face,
Nevertheless, as the powerful engine of the Ferrari was roaring, it also attracted many whistles from some playboys who were in their own fancy cars. If Hao Ren didn’t sit beside her, those guys probably would get close and flirt.
However, if Zhao Hongyu even sped up slightly, those guys wouldn’t be able to catch up.
The car drove to somewhere near Zhao Yanzi’s home, and they parked in front of a local grocery market. Zhao Hongyu took out a basket from some corner of the car like she was doing magic tricks as she got out of the vehicle, and Hao Ren got out with her. Zhao Hongyu picked up her car key and locked the car with two beeps, and then she paid five yuan to the old man for parking.
“Let’s go,” Zhao Hongyu said to Hao Ren gently and walked into the dim indoor grocery market with the basket. As they walked in, there were some curious young, and middle-aged men gawking over the million-dollar car. It was expected since they could only see a Ferrari in magazines or on TV.
“Driving a Ferrari to go grocery shopping, what kind of life is this…” Hao Ren felt speechless as he followed Zhao Hongyu inside.
“Girl, you here for grocery shopping again?” as Zhao Hongyu walked in, some farmers and butchers said hi to her from their booths.
Zhao Hongyu smiled at them as she carried the basket and walked up to the closest vegetable booth, “Uncle Liu, how are the vegetables today?”
“Fresh! Absolutely fresh! I just dug them out of the field this afternoon!” that fifty-year-old man with messy hair promised to Zhao Hongyu while tapping his chest.
“Great, get me two potatoes and three tomatoes, I’ll make some soup when I get home,” Zhao Hongyu said with a smile.
“Ok! I’ll pick the best for you!” the booth owner laughed happily. He then picked out some potatoes and tomatoes and weighed them. “The total will be five yuan and thirty cents, just give me five yuan!” he said.
“I can’t do that!” Zhao Hongyu took out her wallet from her stylish coat like she was doing magic tricks again. She grabbed a five yuan bill and then dug out thirty cents and put them on the electrical scale. After that, she put the tomatoes and potatoes in her basket.
“Come back next time!” the man spoke loudly to Zhao Hongyu in a happy tone after closing a small deal.
“Alright, alright!” Zhao Hongyu answered happily as well. She then walked to another booth, “Granny Sun, how are the fruits today?” she asked.
“Those cherries just arrived today! They are delicious!” the granny with wrinkles all over her face said to Zhao Hongyu.
“Hehe, then let me get a kilogram please,” Zhao Hongyu took a bag and put some in.
She turned around to ask Hao Ren, “what fruits would you like? what would you like for dinner?”
“Doesn’t matter, auntie. It’s up to you,” Hao Ren said shyly.
“Who is this, I have never seen him before,” the granny at the fruit booth asked as she weighed the cherries.
“My distantly related nephew,” Zhao Hongyu answered.
“Ah, young man, you look quite handsome,” the granny said after observing Hao Ren.
It was Hao Ren’s first time hearing someone call him “handsome”, and he didn’t know how he should feel.
After buying fruits, Zhao Hongyu then brought Hao Ren to get some more meat, flour, and other vegetables… Every booth owner was greeting Zhao Hongyu passionately, and Zhao Hongyu chatted with them while shopping.
Ever since he was young, Hao Ren had only been to the grocery market a few times with his grandmother, and he barely went there after he grew up. Grocery shopping with Zhao Hongyu and hearing her chats with the farmers suddenly seemed so genial to him.
Who could tell that this beautiful woman drove here in a Ferrari?
Having got everything they needed after walking around, the basket got heavier and heavier, so Hao Ren volunteered to carry it.
They walked out of the grocery market and saw a couple of kids playing around the fancy Ferrari. Some were so naughty that they even tried to climb into the roadster; the old man managing the parking lot couldn’t even do anything to stop them.
Zhao Hongyu didn’t get mad at all. She just walked up there and opened the car door after unlocking the car, and the kids dispersed as soon as they saw the owner was back.
Zhao Hongyu smiled helplessly. She sat in the car and waved at Hao Ren, “Get in the car.”
Hao Ren got in the car with the basket, and Zhao Hongyu pointed at the space back in the car and said, “Just leave it at the back.”
Water was dripping from the basket that was full of vegetables and meats, and Hao Ren followed the instruction and put it into the baked-porcelain-painted rut located at the back of the fancy, million dollar Ferrari…
Anyone else who witnessed this would probably break down…
Zhao Hongyu started the car, drove it out of the parking spot, and seamlessly joined the traffic flow on the road.
Hao Ren sat in the passenger seat and quietly watched everything Zhao Hongyu was doing. Zhao Hongyu wasn’t only a famous designer, a virtuous housewife, Zhao Yanzi’s mother, but also the Dragon Queen…
She had perfectly switched between all of those roles and had tried her best to do everything to the best of her abilities. Staring at Zhao Hongyu who was so close to him, Hao Ren suddenly had a deep admiration for this young mother.
