Chapter 322 Lady & the Shrew (2/2)

Rose curled her lip. ”Dr. Martin’s a devout believer,” she warned. ”Let me give you a friendly tip: do not rush into things. Also, don't try to force yourself on Sophie. Dr. Martin's very good with a scalpel.”

Li Du was irritated. ”Don’t talk nonsense. I’m just friends with Sophie.”

When he stepped out and closed the door, Rose deliberately said in a loud voice, ”Wearing such showy clothes and you still claim to be just friends? Luckily you’re not a peacock. Otherwise, your tail feathers would already be spread out.”

Li Du shouted from outside the door, ”Watch your mouth, woman. If your mouth itches, why don’t I scratch it with my fist?”

Bam! The sound of a shoe hitting the door was heard. Rose yelled, ”You jerk, you’ll going to get it if you come back in here!”

Li Du was baffled; when had he become a jerk? Is she on her period? Her temper’s weird and cranky, he thought.

He drove to pick up Sophie. As usual, the lady doctor was sitting under the tree near the entrance to her apartment. She wore a long white dress and a necklace of the same color; she looked gentle and elegant.

Looking at the lady doctor, Mr. Li could not help puffing out a sigh. This was what a woman should be. The one at home was not a lady; she was a shrew.

He stopped in front of the lady doctor. She looked up, saw the new car, then put on a sweet smile and said, ”Sorry, I’m waiting for someone.”

Li Du hurriedly lowered the car window and said, ”It's me.”

Sophie exclaimed, ”Li? When did you switch to a car? I thought you were driving a motorcycle, and I was just trying to figure out how I should sit on it to avoid showing more than necessary.”

Li Du opened the door for Sophie with a smile. ”I feel that it’s too inconvenient without a car, so I bought this. How is it? Does it match my style?”

Sophie laughed and gave her opinion, ”The Dodge Hellcat. This is a very aggressive car. You’re the one who bought it? I think Big Fox would like it better.”

Li Du sighed. ”You’re clever. I bought the car, but Big Fox is the one who’s driving it most of the time.”

The Hellcat had an amazingly high fuel consumption. On the other hand, the comfort one experienced sitting in the car was amazing as well.

The length of the car was similar to a Land Rover. However, the Hellcat was a two-door and two-seater muscle car. As there were only two seats, one could imagine the size of its spacious interior!

It was Sophie's first time sitting in this car; she could curl up and fit her entire body in the seat. She sat with her legs crossed and commented, ”Wow, the seat is really huge.”

The two seats of the muscle car also came with massagers installed. The machine's massage frequency and the car engine shared the same sound frequency. That meant there would be no clashing sounds when massage feature was activated.

The intensity of the massage could be adjusted with the control buttons located on the armrest of each seat.

These two spacious seats adopted the base design of the American sofa: the enveloping feel was comfortable and relaxing and the suede material provided non-slip capabilities. Although it was a large seat, one would not feel unstable sitting on it at all.

When Li Du was ready to go, he unconsciously glanced outside and asked, ”Your neighborhood seems pretty good?”

Sophie's neighborhood was the common type of open, relatively spread-out community with dense areas of foliage and greenery. The houses there had larger lawns, bigger gardens, and spacious backyards.

The houses were neatly arranged, although they varied in style and design. This was far superior to the crudely-built houses in Big Quinn’s neighborhood.

Sophie replied, ”It’s not bad. I put the down payment on my house using the money I earned from working when I was still in college. I bought it when the price was still relatively low. If I were to get it now, it would be difficult.”

Li Du was surprised, ”That’s so cool! You actually saved up the money for a down payment just by working in college?”

Sophie chuckled, ”Well, I had my scholarship too. I gathered all the money I could for the down payment—it was not a big sum of money.”
