Chapter 45: Like Having A Revelation

Editor: Atlas Studios

Xu Shuai's car was a modified Ferrari 458.

On the racetrack, Luo Nanchu loosened her fingers and warmed up for a bit before getting into the car.

In the spectator seats, a gentle and refined-looking man raised his eyes and looked at the black Ferrari 458 on the racetrack.

Between his fingertips was a lit cigarette. The dense smoke from it clouded his face, enhancing the impenetrable gaze in his eyes.

A gunshot rang out.

On the racetrack, the thunderous rumble of car engines roaring to life was deafening. The black Ferrari 458 shot forward like lightning, immediately leading by a huge margin.

"The heck!"

Xu Shuai, who had been inattentively watching the race, swore softly and shot up from his sitting position in the spectator seats. He stared as his Ferrari amazingly took the lead while driven by Luo Nanchu, leaving the rest of the competitors in the dust by a few lengths.

In the end, only the female racer, who Lin Yi had invited, managed to catch up to Luo Nanchu, nipping at the tail of her car. At a turn, the Ferrari suddenly accelerated to top speed and shook off the female racer. The latter's car almost flipped over, but the Ferrari was already heading toward the finish line.

The Ferrari stopped after crossing the finishing line. After a moment of silence, the crowd erupted with thunderous cheers.

Xu Shuai rushed down from the spectator seats.

Upon seeing Luo Nanchu emerge from the car, he rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Sister Luo, I never thought that you'd have such skill. Can you teach me later?"

Luo Nanchu looked behind her and saw the female racer get out of her car. Upon seeing that Luo Nanchu was looking at her, the female racer's face turned sour.

Luo Nanchu looked away and asked with a smile, "Do you have a smoke?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xu Shuai enthusiastically fished out his cigarettes from his pocket. Luo Nanchu received a cigarette and placed it between her lips. Xu Shuai then took out a lighter and personally lit it for her.

Luo Nanchu took a deep drag on the cigarette before breathing out the smoke slowly. The sharp tang of tobacco burned her lungs. The thrill of the extreme speed from earlier still seemed to throb in her palms, and she narrowed her eyes slightly to reminisce about it before carelessly smiling.

This momentary flirtatious expression made Xu Shuai's heart skip a beat.

The next round was about to begin.

Luo Nanchu flicked the cigarette lightly with her fingers, cocked an eyebrow at Xu Shuai, and grinned.

"I will definitely get that car for you, so prepare the money. I want it in cash."

"Okay…" Xu Shuai looked at her beaming face and nodded dazedly. His voice sounded a little fluttery.

After Luo Nanchu got back into the car, Xu Shuai's phone rang.

Through the phone, Lin Yi said, "You should come back up if you still want your life tomorrow."

"Ah?"

"Whose woman do you think you're hitting on?"

Xu Shuai was stunned and reflexively looked up at the spectator seats. Fu Tingyuan was leaning against the railing with smoke wafting around him from the cigarette at his fingertips. He smiled down at Xu Shuai.

Xu Shuai shivered for a while due to that one smile.

The race ended, and the winners were naturally Xu Shuai's team.

After her defeat, the female racer did not race again. Luo Nanchu won every single round after that.

Since Xu Shuai won the SSC, he wanted to invite everyone to get drinks.

"Sure, sure." Luo Nanchu had made friends with the others and bobbed her head excitedly.

It had been a long time since she felt like this.

It felt like she had returned to the time from three years ago.

"Come here, Chuchu." Fu Tingyuan stood by the side of his car and stretched out a hand to her.

Upon hearing his voice, Luo Nanchu turned around. When her eyes saw him, Fu Tingyuan could feel Luo Nanchu snap out of something, like she had just had a revelation.

After a moment, her expression gradually relaxed as she smiled her usual smile while walking toward him.


Chapter 46: Having So Much Fun You Forgot Yourself, Hm?

Editor: Atlas Studios

She reached out to hold Fu Tingyuan's hand. He tugged at her and pulled her into his embrace. Luo Nanchu snuggled against his chest as he wrapped his arm around her waist. In the night breeze, she could smell the aroma of his cologne.

"Having so much fun you forgot yourself, hm?"

"Not really." Luo Nanchu looked up at him and smiled.

Fu Tingyuan's gaze landed on her slightly parted lips, and he leaned down to give her a light peck. Luo Nanchu's lips still had an astringent tobacco flavor.

"How did I not know that you smoke?"

"What do you even know about me?" Luo Nanchu smiled lightly.

Fu Tingyuan's gaze darkened slightly.

Nearby, Xu Shuai approached and greeted Fu Tingyuan and his companion, saying, "President Fu, we're planning to go to a bar for some drinks. Do you and Sister Luo want to come?"

Fu Tingyuan smiled mildly, the paragon of gentleness and refinement, and replied, "No. It's late, so Chuchu and I will be going back now."

Xu Shuai was tinned. (TLC. Not sure about this term.) He looked at Luo Nanchu, who was in Fu Tingyuan's embrace. She had a light and flirtatious smile on her face.

However, it was not as high-spirited as before when she had just gotten out of the car.

"Sister Luo, didn't you agree to drink with us earlier?"

"Are you dumb?" Lin Yi walked over and hooked an arm around Xu Shuai's neck, explaining, "The couple wants to go home. Why do you care? President Fu, we'll invite you out to drink when you're free next time."

He smiled and bade Fu Tingyuan goodbye. Luo Nanchu waved as well.

"Today was fun. Thanks for the reward, and see you next time," she said.

Fu Tingyuan nodded to them before opening the car door. Luo Nanchu sat shotgun, and the two of them quickly disappeared along the dark road.

After Fu Tingyuan and company left, Lin Yi released Xu Shuai's neck.

With a cigarette between his lips, he shot his good friend a look and asked, "Why did you invite Fu Tingyuan here today?"

"We all know each other. Also, didn't we have a good time together in the past? Can't he come over and have some fun?"

Lin Yi raised his hand and knocked on Xu Shuai's head before saying, "You silly fool. That guy isn't a good person, yet you still tried to hit on his woman right in front of him. Are you tired of living?"

Xu Shuai said nothing.

There were only a few of them in their wealthy social circle, so he had seen Fu Tingyuan a few times. He noticed that the latter was easygoing and wanted to improve their relationship, but he had not expected Fu Tingyuan's attitude to be so chilly today.

Lin Yi took a drag on his cigarette, hooked an arm around Xu Shuai's neck, and stated, "I'm a good judge of character. That guy doesn't take us seriously. You shouldn't invite trouble on yourself with him. As for that woman… you'd better behave yourself the next time you see her, and don't think about doing anything stupid. Understand?"

Xu Shuai was indignant and snapped, "A good man should woo the lady he likes. Why shouldn't I…"

Lin Yi slapped his friend's head and retorted, "Woo the lady, your head! Are you not afraid that he will devour your entire company if you chase his woman?"

Xu Shuai was his good friend and a good person, but he lacked sense and brains.

Impatient with Xu Shuai's lack of understanding, Lin Yi admonished, "You do know about his recent status in Tong City. Do you think your life is too easy? Do you want to turn it into hell?"

Fu Tingyuan had become extremely popular and influential six months ago. He had swallowed up all of Luo Juntian's assets in Tong City and had even expanded a few businesses. He had expanded so much that it could be said that anyone with business-related matters in Tong City needed to get on his good side. He was the kind of person that entrepreneurial heirs like them could not afford to offend.
