Chapter 444 - Huijin Tower (1/2)
It was seven o’clock, and the sky has turned dark. Xiao Luo kept his promise of going out with Su Li and Su Xiaobei, and Su Li’s personal assistant, Luo Pingxiang, also went along.
As they wanted to avoid any potential paparazzi’s attention, they traveled in Xiao Luo’s Trumpchi.
Su Li wore a white puff-sleeved top, which made her look young and charming. She sat quietly in the backseat, observing the passing scenes through the window.
Luo Ping Xiang was also in the back with Su Xiaobei squeezed in between them. Her tiny rosy cheeks were soft and delicate. She had a braid on one side of her head, and the air bangs across her forehead, making her looked really cute. With her white skirt and laced-socks, she resembled a Disney princess from the world of fairytales.
She was brimming with excitement and feeling elated about this family outing.
“Where shall we head to for dinner?” Xiao Luo asked Su Li for her suggestion.
“Up to you!”
Su Li answered with her usual cold voice.
Xiao Luo raised his brows as he knew that he would end up having to make the call, then he asked Su Xiaobei, “Xiaobei, what would you like to eat?”
“Xiaobei would eat whatever daddy eats,” Xiaobei replied joyfully.
Xiao Luo shrugged as he was still not getting any answers.
When he turned to Luo Pingxiang, she was smiling and seemed like she had anticipated it, and spoke to him first, “Mr. Xiao Luo can make the call, sis and I will follow your plans today.”
“You’ll be paying for the expenses tonight. Qingyan told me that you just earned a commission of 17 million,” Su Li said.
When she mentioned it, she was clearly beaming with pride as her man had finally achieved something significant, and he was worthy after all. With his first bucket of gold, there would be more to come, and that gave her a great sense of gratification.
“17 million? Oh my gosh, Mr. Xiao Luo, you’re making a fortune now!” Luo Pingxiang was quite shocked, and her face was awash with envy.
Xiao Luo was speechless as he thought that Shen Qingyan was pretty gossipy. But when he thought about Su Li and Shen Qingyan’s relationship, he could understand why.
Su Xiaobei frowned and used her fingers in an attempt to count seventeen million, which failed unsurprisingly. She scratched her head and asked Su Li, “Mommy, how many packets of seaweed can daddy buy with his salary?”
Su Li considered for a moment and replied, “Probably as many as a mountain.”
“How tall is a mountain?”
“As tall as the apartment we stay in.”
“Wow, we can buy so many… Daddy’s awesome!”
Su Xiaobei could finally visualize the concept of 17 million, and she praised Xiao Luo with a big smile.
Xiao Luo was very amused by Su Xiaobei’s joyful outburst as he looked at her from the rear-view mirror, and he did feel good hearing her praises of him.

About half an hour later, they have arrived at one of the busiest towers in Xiahai city, Huijin Tower.
Huijin Tower is located at the center of the central business district, and it offered a mix of dining, recreational, and shopping facilities all in one building. It provides everything one could ask for, and the average expense here was naturally relatively high. The patrons here include the rich, students, white collars, gold collars or ordinary salaryman. People also come here to window shop, but not everything in this building was expensive, so the average spending here was still pretty acceptable for ordinary folk.
Xiao Luo had reserved a table at Three Sauce Simmer Pot, which was uniquely fresh and delicious. On top of that, it was also a nutritionally balanced meal with both meat and vegetable ingredients.
After they parked at the underground car park, Su Li wore a baseball cap and a face mask to avoid being recognized in public. Her long, lush hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and her ears were hidden under her locks, which made her looked rather seductive.
