Chapter 1171: Chapter 1172: Monster
Everyone was looking at Mi Yunqing, and Mi Yunqing only felt his face burning. He had hired a professional racer, and yet he still lost. This really made him feel stifled. He said, “I was letting you win earlier; otherwise, you wouldn’t have had a chance to overtake
at the end.”
He Lingzhi snorted and said, “So what’s the outco?”
Mi Yunqing’s face looked even more unpleasant, and finally, he said resentfully, “Alright, I lost.”
“So our bet…” He Lingzhi extended her right hand, and her fair white fingers made a few hooks.
“Hey, Mi Yunqing, you’re not thinking of reneging, are you?”
“Exactly, can’t bear to part with it? Are you even a man? Lingzhi even bet herself for you, which is worth way more than your car.”
“How can our racing empress be asured with money? Mi Yunqing, don’t be so bashful, just hand over the wager.”
People gather in groups of like minds, and everyone here cos from large families, so none of them feared Mi Yunqing. Additionally, He Lingzhi’s usual carefree personality earned her a great rapport, so everyone was speaking up for He Lingzhi.
Surrounded by everyone’s mockery, Mi Yunqing, though feeling heartache, grit his teeth and handed over the Lamborghini keys to He Lingzhi, saying, “I said I would stick to my word. I lost, so I’ll pay up.”
He Lingzhi took the keys and twirled them around her finger twice, then said, “So, are you going to keep pestering
in the future?”
“I won’t pester you!” said Mi Yunqing with a bitter tone.
“That’s more like it, but I know you guys were holding back earlier, so winning wasn’t that glorious. I won’t take your car, to spare you from getting scolded by your old man when you go ho.” After saying this, she tossed the keys back to Mi Yunqing.
“Lingzhi, you’re so generous, a limited edition Lamborghini worth over thirty million, you know.”
“Exactly, if it were , I wouldn’t have returned it, how cool would it be to drive it around?”
Even these heirs felt a hint of envy when looking at such a luxury car.
He Lingzhi chuckled and said, “No car is as satisfying as one I customized myself.” Then she waved her hand, “Goodbye, everyone.”
To the cheers of the crowd, He Lingzhi left like a victor.
“Damn!” Just after driving a short distance, He Lingzhi suddenly shouted.
“What’s wrong?” Song Xiaodong asked with a smile.
“I actually won just now?” He Lingzhi frowned and muttered again.
Song Xiaodong laughed heartily and said, “Are you regretting winning? If you had lost, I would’ve called off the engagent.”
“Of course not…” He Lingzhi smacked the steering wheel resentfully and then looked at Song Xiaodong, “Tell , were you teasing ? Even if I lost, you wouldn’t have kept your word, would you?”
Song Xiaodong shook his head and said earnestly, “I would have kept my word.”
He Lingzhi curled her lips and said, “Pfft! Fooling a ghost, people like you only care about benefits. Would you really give up marrying
for a partnership with the He family? Who’d believe that?”
Song Xiaodong put his hands behind his head and said, “Believe it or not, you missed the best opportunity.”
“Hmph!” He Lingzhi did not believe Song Xiaodong at all.
After a mont of silence, He Lingzhi said, “Right, that last corner, had you already factored in that tree?”
“What do you think?” Song Xiaodong asked back with a smile.
He Lingzhi fell silent without responding. At that mont, Song Xiaodong had told her not to slow down; if that tree hadn’t been accounted for, the car would have been wrecked. She didn’t believe Song Xiaodong would bet on his life like that.
This ant Song Xiaodong had calculated everything in advance.
It was frightening to think about. Such plotting, with any deviation, could have led them to their demise.
Even if He Lingzhi tried again, she doubts she could master it. Song Xiaodong had probably just seen that tree on the road.
This guy is a monster, definitely a monster, a Kung Fu monster, a brain monster, too terrifying.
For the first ti, He Lingzhi felt a sense of awe towards Song Xiaodong.
“Where to next?” Song Xiaodong asked.
“Nowhere, heading ho,” He Lingzhi replied.
“Then let’s head ho.” Song Xiaodong echoed lightly.
The two didn’t speak again the whole way, the atmosphere was sowhat heavy, as they returned to the He family’s courtyard.
The car parked in the lot, and they walked inside until they reached the place where Song Xiaodong stayed. Song Xiaodong stopped and smiled, “Want to co in for a bit?”
He Lingzhi snorted and said, “Pfft, this is my house, alright? I can go wherever I please, do I need your permission?”
“Then, Miss Lingzhi, may I invite you to sit here?” Song Xiaodong changed his approach.
“Phooey, smooth talker, I can’t be bothered with you.” She finished and walked away briskly.
Song Xiaodong entered the villa, where Miao Xuanxuan and Miao Qingqing were both standing at the door. Miao Xuanxuan hooked onto Song Xiaodong’s arm and said, “Hubby, seems like there’s so progress, her attitude towards you has improved.”
Song Xiaodong shrugged and said, “Really?”
Miao Xuanxuan laughed gently and said, “Of course, co on, tell us what you did. Did you get with her? Otherwise, why would she act so submissive so fast?”
Song Xiaodong’s face darkened, “Xuanxuan, do you think, aside from that, there’s nothing else about
that won could like?”
Miao Xuanxuan tilted her head in thought and said, “I still feel that aspect is the most appealing to won, the one that makes them unable to resist.”
“Pfft!” Miao Qingqing and Song Xiaoru in the living room couldn’t help but laugh.
Song Xiaodong also laughed heartily and said, “Having one’s own woman love that about you is a man’s greatest pride.”
“Exactly, so, did you get with her?” Miao Xuanxuan persisted in asking.
Song Xiaodong shook his head, “No…” Then he recounted what happened that day.
After telling the story, Song Xiaodong sighed lightly, “I kind of regret accepting this arranged marriage now. At that ti, I only considered my family’s situation, but I didn’t really think about her. She’s actually the biggest victim.”
Song Xiaoru and Miao Qingqing fell silent imdiately. They naturally understood how painful it would be for a woman to be forced into marrying soone she didn’t love.
But Miao Xuan was completely indifferent, dismissing it, “It’s really overthinking. Hubby, you just need to make her like you, and that’ll solve it, won’t it?”
Song Xiaodong was stunned for a mont, then looked at Song Xiaoru and Miao Qingqing. Both nodded, making it seem like, when Miao Xuanxuan put it that way, it wasn’t a problem at all.
