Chen Nan was stunned for a moment and then shook his head with a chuckle, "Stop joking around, you girl, always taking pleasure in teasing me."
Su Qingqing opened her mouth, hesitating to speak.
She really wanted to tell Chen Nan, I’m serious! But, in the end, she couldn’t muster the courage.
After a moment of silence, Su Qingqing laughed happily, "Hehe, it’s because you’re fun to tease!" Then her hands reached for Chen Nan’s ears again.
Chen Nan gave a helpless wry smile, pretending to be stern, "I said don’t touch the ears, who allowed you to touch mine?"
"Are you getting angry?"
Su Qingqing showed off two enchanting dimples, blinked her eyes, and looked at him with a giggle, "Even if you get angry, I’m not afraid, because you’ll never be harsh to me."
"You! I really have no way to deal with you."
Chen Nan shook his head with a smile and resigned to carrying her on his back towards the parking lot.
Su Qingqing observed his profile, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Dummy, I always like to have you carry me, do you find that annoying? Actually, I don’t even know why, but your back just feels so comfortable. If you don’t like it, I won’t cling onto it anymore."
"What’s with you today? Why keep asking these questions?"
"It’s nothing, just asking," Su Qingqing shook her head and said, "Tell me the truth, do you find me annoying?"
"Not at all, you’re so adorable, how could I possibly find you annoying?" Chen Nan laughed.
He was speaking the truth; although this girl was a bit willful, she was still quite likable.
"So that means, you do like carrying me? Haha, silly you, you’re so nice." Holding onto Chen Nan’s neck, Su Qingqing burst into hearty laughter.
Chen Nan felt like he was being played. Hearing her pitiful tone at first, he thought she was being sincere, but had he known she was only pretending, why should he have taken it seriously? Now with her saying this, it would probably be difficult not to carry her from now on.
"Ugh, really can’t manage my mouth!"
With a sigh, Chen Nan watched as Su Qingqing laughed heartily, brimming with triumph.
When they reached the parking lot, Su Qingqing used the remote to unlock the car, and Chen Nan, without any hesitation, opened the driver’s door and sat down with a hehe, "Let me drive, you sit on the side."
Su Qingqing immediately frowned. She truly feared riding with Chen Nan driving, for this guy was just too reckless with his life.
The last time Chen Nan learned to drive for the first time, he roared up to a speed of over two hundred, and Su Qingqing still vividly remembered those terrifying moments. She felt that riding in Chen Nan’s car was simply playing with her life.
Seeing her worried look, Chen Nan teased, "What’s with the sudden cowardice? Where did that fearless Su Qingqing go?"
"Who’s a coward? I have a big heart!"
Su Qingqing pouted, tossed the keys to Chen Nan, and settled herself into the passenger seat.
After starting the car and putting it into gear, Chen Nan slammed the gas pedal down, and immediately a piercing screech filled the air along with the smell of burning rubber. The car shot out like a streak of red lightning and, with a drift, steered onto the main road.
Scared out of her wits by Chen Nan’s sudden burst of speed, Su Qingqing shrieked, "Are you out of your mind, dummy!"
Glancing at her sideways, Chen Nan laughed and said, "And you say you’re not timid, yet you’re screaming already when I’ve just started. I am a licensed driver now, so relax, it’s all good."
"Who drives ? You’re totally reckless." Su Qingqing gave him a glare, "When did you get a driver’s license?"
Chen Nan patted his body, pulled out his driver’s license, and tossed it to her, "Don’t believe me? Look, isn’t this a driver’s license?"
Taking a look, Su Qingqing was dumbfounded, "You... you actually have a Class A1 license, when did you get your driver’s license?"
Chen Nan grinned, "I’m not telling you."
"You didn’t buy this license, did you?" Su Qingqing looked at him doubtfully. "You haven’t been learning to drive for long. How could you possibly get an A1 license? Getting an A license requires driving experience."
Chen Nan felt a pang of guilt. His license wasn’t purchased, but Qin Yixuan had pulled some strings to get it for him, which was almost like buying it.
"You see my skills. Don’t they deserve this A license?"
As Chen Nan spoke, he let up on the accelerator, then suddenly floored it. The car’s acceleration surged in an instant, and he swept the steering wheel in a full circle. There was only the sound of tires screeching against the road as the car drifted around a bend.
The sudden thrill made Su Qingqing scream again, "Ah ah ah, you idiot, slow down, my heart is about to jump out of my throat."
"And you still won’t admit you’re a scaredy-cat?" Chen Nan laughed.
The reason he could handle drifting with such ease wasn’t blind luck. He had practiced many times with that old Jetta. However, his clunker was front-wheel drive and didn’t have enough power for acceleration drifts. He could only pull off handbrake turns, which were nothing compared to these top-tier sports cars.
Su Qingqing glared at him and pouted, huffing angrily, "You stinky fool, you lied to me!"
Chen Nan was taken aback, "What?"
"You’re clearly an old hand at racing, even better than me. Last time you actually lied to me, saying you’d never driven before, and pretended to be a rookie, asking me to teach you. That’s too much, hmph!"
"But I really am a beginner."
Chen Nan felt quite innocent. Was it his fault for being a quick learner? It seemed that catching on quickly wasn’t always a good thing, as it led to misunderstandings.
"You’re still lying. I’m angry now!"
"Your being angry doesn’t change anything. I am a novice," Chen Nan laughed. "We who practice martial arts have better coordination. Learning this wasn’t difficult."
"Regardless, when we get home, you’re cooking for me as punishment." Su Qingqing said.
Chen Nan’s face fell, "Why? I didn’t lie to you!"
"No reason. I don’t need a reason to punish you. Who makes you cook so well, and who makes you my cousin!"
Chen Nan felt an urge to drive into a truck. This damn girl was too unreasonable, expecting him to carry her and also cook for her. Damn it, I’m a bodyguard, not a nanny!
Guided by Su Qingqing’s instructions, Chen Nan drove to the bottom of a winding mountain road five minutes later
On the roadside, a Ferrari 458 identical to Su Qingqing’s was parked there, with Jiang Xiaomi leaning against it, dressed like a little punk and chewing gum.
"Jiang, little girl, big sis is here."
After getting out of the car, Su Qingqing walked over to Jiang Xiaomi with a grin.
Jiang Xiaomi gave her a disdainful look, "You dead woman, don’t be so smug. Lose the race, and you’ll willingly call me big sis."
"Psh, just wait and see how I’ll thrash you. You’re set as the little sister," Su Qingqing retorted.
Listening to their conversation, Chen Nan in the car started to puzzle. Could it be that these two girls came all this way to race just to decide who’s the older and who’s the younger?
"I say, aren’t you two just bored? To settle who’s older, why not just compare your ID cards?"
Chen Nan got out of the car and walked towards them with a smile.
"You damn brute, you’re here too!" As soon as she saw Chen Nan, Jiang Xiaomi immediately crossed her arms and took on the scolding stance of a shrew, snapping irritably, "I was born on the same day as her, comparing ID cards won’t solve anything!"
Initially puzzled why Su Qingqing got out from the passenger side, she realized it was this dead brute who was driving.
Glaring at Chen Nan fiercely, Jiang Xiaomi’s anger simmered, and a plan for revenge started forming in her mind. She was determined to take this brute down a notch and avenge her previous humiliation!
