This car was one Du Bin adored but couldn't afford. His family, strapped for cash, could only manage a Mercedes C-Class with a 100,000 down payment and a 200,000-plus loan to show off.
But in his heart, Du Bin had always dreamed of the iconic Mercedes E300L, day and night.
"So gorgeous～～so luxurious～～so beautiful～～" Wen Lan pressed against the car window, staring at the interior, utterly enchanted.
Yu Yinyan gazed enviously at the car, suddenly thinking Du Bin's Mercedes C was trash. Her eyes on Du Bin now carried heavy dissatisfaction.
"Li Bin, how much did you borrow for this car? You've got some guts, taking out a loan for this! Even I wouldn't dare!" Du Jianjun clung to his last shred of pride, asking Li Bin with a dismissive tone.
"No loan. I paid in full. It's a gift for Mom—borrowing would defeat the point," Li Bin said with a smile, flashing the payment receipt. "Not much, just over 650,000 landed. No need for a loan." His tone was breezy.
But those listening broke out in cold sweats.
"Full payment? Little Bin, you～～you paid in full?" Du Jianjun's attitude flipped 180 degrees upon hearing it was cash, his tone now tinged with flattery.
"Little Bin, where'd you get that kind of money?" Shen Yun, who'd been consoling herself with denial, lost all her arrogance at the sight of the Mercedes E. Her attitude toward Li Bin did a complete 180, her voice now fawning, almost groveling.
"I told you, I earned it writing books. Been saving for years," Li Bin said with a faint smile, ignoring the family. He handed the Mercedes keys to Shen Han. "Mom, this car's yours from now on."
Shen Han's face flushed with joy, her body trembling with nerves. Staring at the keys Li Bin offered, she didn't dare take them. It felt like a dream, too unreal to believe.
"Little Bin～～last time I thought you were joking～～how could you really buy this for me～～I can't take it. You drive it～～I'm used to my electric scooter～～" Though Shen Han coveted the Mercedes E, such an extravagant gift from her son-in-law felt overwhelming.
The sudden shift left her moved, blissful, yet skeptical. "Mom, this car's for you. If the Mercedes S400L wasn't so big—I worried you'd find it hard to drive—I'd have gotten that. If I were buying for myself, I wouldn't pick an E300L. It's not my style—I lean toward a Mercedes Maybach or Porsche."
Li Bin smiled, taking Shen Han's hand and firmly placing the keys in it. "Mom, open the door and check it out. You're driving us home later."
"Little Bin! Mom～～Mom really doesn't know what to say～～you're too good to me～～I～～" Shen Han's eyes brimmed with tears as she looked at Li Bin's gentle smile, gripping his hand tightly, her flushed cheeks radiating infatuation.
In that moment, Shen Han was completely lost.
Li Bin gave her the feeling of a first love. It was sinful, shameful, yet so beautiful, so romantic.
Shen Han was drunk.
Drunk in this romance～～lost in Li Bin's eyes, unable to pull herself away.
[Intimacy with Shen Han: +5 (100% Infatuated)]
[Ding: Congratulations, Host, for reaching 100% intimacy with your mother-in-law Shen Han. You can have sexual relations with her anytime the environment allows.]
The system's prompt was blunt.
But to Li Bin, it was music to his ears.
Finally, after all his efforts, his mother-in-law Shen Han had fallen for him!!
Right now, Li Bin was even more excited than Shen Han!!
100% intimacy! Infatuation! This meant tonight, he could 100% take her down! All he needed was the right setting and moment!
Looking at Shen Han, dressed so elegantly and alluring today, Li Bin's heart raced with desire!
"Mom! Hurry, open the door, let us see your new car! I hear it's got amazing ambient lighting!" Wen Lan playfully snatched the keys from Shen Han's hand.
Beep! The Mercedes' sleek headlights flared.
The interior lit up with vibrant, colorful ambient lights.
Under their glow, the luxurious interior looked even more stunning, utterly captivating.
Wen Lan sat in the driver's seat, gripping the wheel, so enchanted she could barely move.
Though not overly vain, Yu Yinyan couldn't help but envy the breathtaking Mercedes E300L Deluxe Edition, her face full of jealousy.
