Beside her, Sheng Wei's friend Gu Xiang couldn't stand it anymore. "Su Ningxi, what's wrong with you? Sheng Wei cares about you, but you completely ignore her. That's too rude!"
Although her friend spoke like this, Sheng Wei said, "Don't say anymore, it's fine, I was meddling too much."
Glancing at the man in the passenger seat, she saw he remained motionless, staring ahead, not knowing if he had heard their conversation.
Sheng Wei's face drooped, full of displeasure.
With the sound of a gunshot, Sheng Wei's car rocketed forward, while Su Ningxi's remained steady.
Watching the car left far behind by her own, Sheng Wei felt a sense of smugness. For Su Ningxi to compete with her driving skills was simply humiliating herself.
Gu Xiang also felt proud and flattered Sheng Wei, "Weiwei, your driving skills are getting better and better. You left Su Ningxi behind right from the start. She was overconfident to compete with you."
Sheng Wei was very pleased with the flattery, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, unable to conceal her smugness. Seeing no sign of Su Ningxi's car behind her, she began to slow down.
Behind her, Qin Shu watched the calm Su Ningxi in the driver's seat, also not worried. No one knew her driving skills better than him.
Sure enough, the next second he heard Su Ningxi say, "Buckle up."
As soon as Su Ningxi finished speaking, she floored the accelerator. The car whizzed forward like a gale, only a blur visible to the spectators.
Passing Sheng Wei, she only felt her car buffeted by a powerful wind.
"What was that thing that just went by?" Before Sheng Wei could make it out, she just sensed something rushing past her.
Gu Xiang, "Nothing! I didn't see anything. Could it have been Su Ningxi overtaking us?"
"No way. She was so far behind, there's no way she flew by." Sheng Wei scoffed.
Just then, Gu Xiang excitedly said, "Weiwei, look, the spectators are going wild. They must be stunned by your driving skills. You're going to be famous!"
Hearing this, Sheng Wei also felt thrilled. Glancing at the electronic screen, unfortunately, the car had veered off and crashed into a roadside barrier, crunching the front end. Unsure of the driver's condition.
Meanwhile, Su Ningxi had one lap left. Although Sheng Wei had dropped out, it did not affect her at all, since she had never intended to compete with her. She just hadn't raced in a long time and wanted to recapture the thrill.
Qin Shu was also extremely excited inside. He had guessed who she was, but her familiar driving skills further confirmed her identity. Heaven had eyes, she was still alive. Their boss could finally come back to life.
Thinking of this, he took out his phone from his pocket, snapped a side profile of Su Ningxi driving, opened WeChat and sent it out. Although she wore a helmet, anyone familiar with her could recognize her at first glance.
Sure enough, the phone rang the next second. Qin Shu reflexively glanced at Su Ningxi when he saw the caller ID, as if afraid she would see it. He directly rejected the call, then it rang again and he rejected again.
Thinking he had some important matter, Su Ningxi said, "Don't worry, this is the last lap."
Qin Shu's mouth curled slightly as he softly hmm'ed.
When Su Ningxi reached the finish line and got off, she saw the surrounding spectators squeezing towards her. Unknown to her, her racing had been live streamed, and she was now the idol of the racing community, with speed comparable to the legendary "Fire King" from years ago.
Seeing the frenzied fans, Su Ningxi thought this was bad. To her this was just casual racing, she hadn't expected her astounding speed to draw spectators.
Qin Shu said, "You're famous now, these are all your fans."
Su Ningxi's brows furrowed slightly. This wasn't what she wanted. The last thing she wanted now was fame, which increased the risk of being brought back to Haicheng for a forced marriage and children. Luckily she had worn a helmet and racing suit the whole time, so no one saw her face.
Sensing her thoughts, Qin Shu said, "If you don't want to be surrounded, we can leave another way."
"Hmm?" Su Ningxi didn't understand, thinking this was the only exit.
Without explaining, Qin Shu got into the driver's seat and said two words to Su Ningxi, "Get in."
Su Ningxi inexplicably trusted him and got in.
Stepping on the gas, the car whipped around and sped off in the opposite direction.
Watching the man beside her effortlessly control the race car, Su Ningxi's face darkened. "You can drive."
"Mm!"
Seeing his casual attitude, Su Ningxi got even angrier, yelling, "You tricked me?"
Qin Shu saw the angry Su Ningxi and explained with a smile, "How can you say that? I never said I couldn't drive."
"You obviously said--”
Su Ningxi stopped abruptly, suddenly recalling he had only said he wasn't very good.
"This isn't not very good! You deliberately misled me."
Qin Shu just smiled without responding.
Soon he brought Su Ningxi to a blind spot, exiting via a small road and successfully leaving the back hill.
Su Ningxi stared at Qin Shu. "You're very familiar with this area?"
She didn't even know this small road existed.
Feeling Su Ningxi's eerie gaze, Qin Shu confessed, "I accidentally discovered it before when I came here to race."
"Before...Weren't you always abroad?"
Qin Shu hesitated, still thinking how to answer, when Su Ningxi's phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Ok, I'll be right there."
Qin Shu asked, "What's the matter?"
"Something came up. Stop the car ahead, I'll take a taxi over." Su Ningxi said, hanging up.
Qin Shu, "Are you sure?"
Su Ningxi answered firmly, "I'm sure."
Qin Shu didn't insist further. Stopping at a roadside, Su Ningxi got out without hesitation.
Just after closing the door, she suddenly thought of something and knocked on the window.
As the window rolled down, Su Ningxi directly asked Qin Shu, "Can I be your girlfriend for a while?"
"Huh?" Qin Shu was baffled.
Su Ningxi, "Don't be surprised, just as you heard."
"No, no." Qin Shu immediately waved his hands as if warding off the plague.
He didn't dare covet his boss's woman, unless he didn't want to live anymore.
Su Ningxi explained, "Don't get me wrong, I mean we pretend to date, not actually date."
"Pretend to date?" What for?
"You know my grandfather often arranges matchmaking for me. I hate it. If he knows I'm with you he won't arrange any more. Please, please." Su Ningxi pleaded with a begging gesture.
So that's why. "Ok!"
Qin Shu agreed.
This was good too. It would prevent her admirers, helping his boss. He wouldn't blame him for this.
Seeing his agreement, Su Ningxi felt relieved. No more matchmaking for now, at least for a while.
"Thanks. I'm going now." With that she turned and left.
Watching Su Ningxi get into a taxi and leave, Qin Shu picked up the phone and called back.
