Chapter 209 - 179: RV, Unworldly, Bai Jing (2)

There was no explaining this, so Ni Bingyan just kept her mouth shut.

If anyone else had given her a vehicle like this, she would have refused without a second thought. But it was from her dad. What could she do? She had no choice but to happily accept it.

After driving the RV into the community parking lot and seeing the delivery driver off, Ni Bingyan followed her dad aboard for a tour.

She ran her hand over the mahogany furniture and walked through the living room, which was incredibly spacious with its dual slide-outs extended. When Ni Bingyan pushed open the bedroom door, she saw a large double bed. The layout was just like a real bedroom.

Beyond the usual functions for cooking, sleeping, laundry, and bathing, the RV also boasted high-tech features like a comprehensive security system and a custom-built theater.

As she watched the projector screen slowly descend in front of the television and noticed the speakers mounted on the walls, Ni Bingyan couldn’t resist sinking into the comfortable leather sofa, touching everything and looking all around.

A foldable table was built into the storage cabinet to the right of the sofa. Lowering it revealed a bookshelf behind it.

She looked up and saw a soft, eye-friendly reading lamp!

Besides watching TV and movies, she could also study here! And she wouldn’t have to worry about hurting her eyes at night!

’I feel like doing a set of practice papers right now!’

Ni Bingyan ran her hand over the smooth, solid-wood table, unable to pull herself away.

The table was the perfect height for her, and the surface was the perfect size for her arms. She could write here for hours without getting tired.

’Even if I had designed it myself, it couldn’t have been any better than this!’

"This is practically a mobile apartment! Daddy~ you’re so good to me! This is so thoughtful!"

Ni Guangli was a total sucker for his daughter’s sweet-talking. Just hearing her drawl out "Daddy" was enough to put him in a fantastic mood.

"Of course it is! The interior is all custom-made! Understated luxury, and eco-friendly too! See this mahogany? It carries your dad’s best wishes for you—that your career will always be red-hot! You’re Daddy’s precious treasure!"

’Even though I wasn’t the one who had it custom-made...’

AHEM. Ni Guangli would never admit that.

’I bought this "secondhand" RV fair and square for one-and-a-half times the market price. It might be brand new, but...’

’Fine, I’ll treat that kid to dinner tonight.’

’I guess he deserves it for being so considerate.’

As Ni Guangli thought this, he still felt a pang of jealousy.

He didn’t know what was wrong with him. Before, when his daughter showed no interest, he thought Sang Yuan was the perfect catch. He was worried she’d miss her chance and regret it later.

Now that there was a real possibility of them getting together, his attitude toward Sang Yuan had become... complicated.

’I guess this is just how it is between a son-in-law and his father-in-law.’

"Daddy, how long have you been planning this? You didn’t tell me a thing! What if I had gotten impatient and bought one myself? We would’ve ended up with two!"

’In the past, people only ever schemed against me behind my back. Now, someone is secretly planning *for* me.’

This fatherly love felt so immense! Ni Bingyan’s heart swelled with a bittersweet feeling.

Ni Guangli gave a light cough, avoiding the topic.

"It’s my fault for not being more considerate before. I just knew how to throw money at you. You’re still young, you haven’t seen much of the world, and when you get money, you don’t even know how to spend it. It’s better if I just take care of things for you. And don’t get any ideas just because you’re earning your own money. The only reason I earn money is so you can have a better life. Otherwise, what’s the point? At my age, wouldn’t it be nicer to just play mahjong, go fishing, and drink tea all day?"

’Thank goodness that kid, Little Sang, called me,’ Ni Guangli thought. ’Otherwise, I’d have no idea what life on a film set is really like.’

’Turns out lots of actors who’ve just started out have their own RVs. My own daughter has been in this industry for years and still doesn’t have one. It’s just not right!’

’When everyone goes to the set, they all have their luxurious, comfortable setups, while my daughter drives that dusty little Volkswagen. She can’t even lie down for a proper nap during her lunch break.’

’The thought of it is just heartbreaking.’

’This kid doesn’t really care about money. She’s making a decent living now, but when it comes to spending, she’s still the same as ever.’

’Sigh, being a dad isn’t easy! I even have to worry about ridiculous things like this. It’s unbelievable!’

Ni Bingyan didn’t know what he was thinking, but after hearing his words, she didn’t dare say anything more.

"Thank you, Dad. I’m so, so touched and surprised! You’re the best! I’ll be sure to work hard!"

’I have to, or I won’t be worthy of such a luxury.’

Ni Guangli lifted his chin and gave a proud "Hmph," finally satisfied with her sensible reaction.

After taking her dad back to her house, Ni Bingyan quickly cooked him a meal.

Ni Guangli took a tour around the house and yard, showering praise on his daughter’s decorating skills. Unfortunately, in his eyes, it wasn’t quite perfect.

"The yard is... passable, I suppose. But the house is a little small, there are hardly any rooms. And your walk-in closet is tiny! You couldn’t fit two new outfits in there if you tried. And you’re so young, why do you only buy things in black, white, and gray? You don’t have any colorful clothes..."
