I’m A Quadrillionaire chapter 416
The next day, David brought Celia to visit both his aunts Sally’s and Diana’s families.
Celia received four different presents, as it was a tradition David’s family followed to bestow their blessings.
As David’s elders, the adults decided to bestow their blessings in the form of presents, but how expensive each present was depended on the adult’s financial ability.
Celia was elated, not because of how many presents she received since she did not care too much about that, but because she had been accepted by David’s elders.
This was the most important thing of all to her.
David had plans to bring Celia back to Shu City. Their high school reunion was in three days, and he thought about taking that chance to visit the school they had once attended.
At the same time, they could also take the opportunity to walk around Shu City as they had many memories of that place.
When Sally and Diana found out that David was going to Shu City, they packed their things to return with him as well.
Despite living permanently in River City now, Shu City was still their hometown where their family and friends were.
They had made it a habit to visit Shu City every month.
The group of ten thus left River City for Shu City in four luxury cars.
David drove the Benz G-Class worth around three million instead of his eighty-million-dollar Bugatti Veyron.
Firstly, a Bugatti would attract too much attention.
Secondly, Shu City was a small county, and its roads were not paved for a Bugatti’s low chassis.
When they arrived at Shu City, Sally and Diana invited David to their house, but the man ended up deciding to bring Celia to the best hotel in Shu City.
People tended to be more cautious when they lived as guests in other people’s houses. David was fine living with his aunts since he had lived there for years before, but he did not want Celia to feel uneasy.
After resting for the night, David and Celia went to Shu City High where they had studied together after breakfast.
The short distance meant that they did not need to drive, as they could just walk over. This was because of how small Shu City was.
When the couple walked on the streets, they attracted the eyes of the passers-by on the road.
Shu City was a small city, and the people there rarely saw a couple as ethereal and attractive as David and Celia.
The duo chatted and laughed as they walked, but when they arrived at a crossroad, Celia suddenly stopped walking and stared blankly forward.
“What’s wrong, Celia?” David turned around and asked, having realized that Celia did not, continue walking with him.
“David, do you remember this place?” Celia asked, her voice thick with emotion.
David looked at the familiar crossroad and thought back to that specific day a few years ago.
This was where he had saved Celia’s life all those years ago, the place where their paths and fates had first crossed.
“Of course I do. How could I forget this place? I saved an angel with broken wings here years ago. I thought she would leave and return to the place she belonged once her wings recovered, but I never thought that she would stand there waiting for me instead.”
“I don’t want to be an angel, David. All I want is to stay by your side forever. I do not expect to be your one and only for the rest of your life. I would be content just seeing you each day,” Celia looked at David and said sincerely.
“Why are you so silly?” David gently pulled Celia into a hug.
Celia leaned into David’s embrace and hugged him back.
The two of them hugging on the streets attracted the attention of many people around.
After all, it was the middle of the day and such public displays of affection were rare.
Mostly, though, they two attracted so much attention because of how handsome and pretty they looked. They were more good-looking and charming than celebrities on television.
More people started to gather and Celia realized how they must look to the passers-by, hugging in the middle of the street. Hence, she pushed David away and took his hand with a blush, then speed-walked toward Shu City High.
She felt embarrassed to be stared at by so many people on the street.
The two of them arrived at Shu City High.
The large metal gates were closed, but the small door by the security room was still open. David and Celia walked over to the open door and saw an old man watching television inside.
