âSure!â
Rong Qi didnât even pause before agreeing.
Gu Yuyan was shocked by Rong Qiâs audacity. Even if it was to distract those thugs and save her, she couldnât believe Rong Qi would be so bold. Now, she had to question if this was Rong Qiâs true nature all along.
Gu Yuyan felt a pang of sorrow for Ye Nanshen, feeling it was a shame for him.
âHow could the refined Ye Nanshen ever be a match for Rong Qi, who, despite being a successful entrepreneur, had such questionable conduct?â
Gu Yuyanâs fists clenched tightly, but what happened next had her eyes widening in disbelief.
By the time they were back in Rong Qiâs car, Gu Yuyan still looked at Rong Qi as if she were a demon.
âOut with it,â Rong Qi said, her eyebrows furrowing.
After swallowing hard, Gu Yuyan finally found her voice. âRong Qi, are you really a woman?â
âWhat kind of question is that?â Rong Qi chuckled lightly. âWhat, am I not a girl to you?â
Silently turning her head away, Gu Yuyan couldnât shake off the shadow that loomed over her heart. They had driven quite a distance, but she still felt like she could hear the screams of those three men.
Those men, contorted and twisted into shapes that defied anatomy, were simply terrifying to look at. If Gu Yuyan hadnât seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that a woman could possess such formidable combat skills.
âNo wonder Gu Ziye feared her. From their very first meeting, Gu Ziye was already battered and bruised. I hadnât fared any better in our confrontations. Why is this woman more ruthless than men?â
Sitting in the passenger seat, Gu Yuyan occasionally shot suspicious glances at
Rong Qi. âWhere are you taking me?â
âWhat do you think, Miss Gu?â Rong Qi slightly tilted her head, smirking as she drove with one hand.
The car zoomed off like an arrow unleashed from its bow, reaching breakneck speeds in a heartbeat.
Rong Qi relished the feeling; it had been a while since she drove. Lu
Chengzhouâs limited edition Lamborghini Veneno was quite satisfying to handle. However, as the car accelerated, Gu Yuyan screamed in fright.
âAh! Slow down!â Gu Yuyanâs head thudded against the window, startled beyond words.
âYouâll drive if I slow down?â Rong Qi asked.
Vigorously shaking her head, Gu Yuyan held onto the overhead handle, her eyes fixed on the road ahead. She had been drinking, and after the terrifying ordeal, her legs felt like jelly. She couldnât drive in such a condition.
Despite the breakneck speed, Rong Qiâs driving was steady. Gradually, Gu
Yuyan relaxed, although her grip on the handle didnât loosen.
âHey⦠When you drop me off, donât say anything weird to my parents,â Gu
Yuyan said, her voice laced with complicated emotions.
âI donât have time to talk to your parents,â Rong Qi replied, blunt as ever. âWhatâs with your attitude? Canât you speak nicely?â Gu Yuyan was annoyed. âThis is how I talk to a love rival. Like it or not, deal with it,â Rong Qi retorted. âAre you doing this out of spite? To get back at me?â Gu Yuyan questioned. âIsnât it obvious?â Rong Qi replied.
âAre you jealous? Do you think I threaten your position?â Gu Yuyan continued asking.
âYouâre overthinking. He only has eyes for me.â Rong Qi answered.
âYouâre awfully arrogant. Never mind, since you saved me, I donât want to argue with you.â Gu Yuyan turned her head to gaze at the night sky through the window.
Half an hour later, Rong Qi dropped Gu Yuyan off at the Gu residence. After Gu Yuyan got out of the car, her face was still pale. Gu Yuyan looked at Rong Qi and asked, âWould you like to come in for some tea?â
âNo,â Rong Qi coldly declined.
âI mean, you could accompany me inside. I canât really explain my current state to my parentsâ¦â Gu Yuyan tried to persuade Rong Qi.
Rong Qi looked down contemplatively. âSince youâre asking, I suppose I can make an exception. Fine, Iâll come in for some tea.â
Unfastening her seatbelt, Rong Qi locked the car and led the way into the house.
Gu Yuyan stood there, stomping her foot in frustration.. She cursed inwardly, âWho was asking for your favor? Ugh! So shameless!â
