The sunset was a fiery red, dyeing the clouds at the edge of the sky.
The dusky sky was dotted with stars, and in the distance, a round moon played hide and seek.
On the wide asphalt road, a steady stream of cars flowed ceaselessly. Alongside, Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan were riding a tandem bicycle, the afterglow of the sunset casting a long shadow behind them.
Yun Xinyan looked at the figure in front of her, not broad but rather slim, and a faint smile played at the corners of her mouth. It felt really good.
Although there were no suits, evening gowns; no flowers or fine wines; no luxury adornments, and certainly no expensive cars, just a rented tandem bicycle. But Yun Xinyan, the chairman of the Yun family conglomerate, felt an unprecedented sense of security and warmth.
This was something she had never done in her entire life, and it was her first time experiencing something like this, but she really liked it.
All of this was thanks to the mysterious man she had met less than a day ago.
Thinking of this, Yun Xinyan looked at Ye Tian and momentarily felt enchanted!
Just then, Ye Tian suddenly turned his head to look at Yun Xinyan, flashed a mischievous smile, and softly said with a handsome face, "Beauty, if you keep staring at me like that, I'm going to blush."
Yun Xinyan couldn't help but give him a stern look. Couldn't he let her enjoy the moment a bit longer? His remark had completely shattered the mood.
"Alright, don't be mad." Ye Tian suddenly smiled softly, "I know you like this cozy feeling of me being beside you, but staring at me like that really isn't good."
"Go to hell!" Yun Xinyan, her thoughts guessed by Ye Tian, not only felt angry but also gave him a kick. Even though they were riding together, Yun Xinyan hardly needed to exert any effort at all; Ye Tian could manage it on his own entirely.
Ye Tian chuckled playfully and suddenly shook his hands on purpose. Yun Xinyan was feeling sullen and suddenly felt the bicycle sway. Just then, Ye Tian leaned back suddenly, and in desperation, Yun Xinyan embraced him in an instant.
"Oh, beauty, what are you doing? If you're going to throw yourself into my arms, at least let me know in advance so I can take a shower or something," Ye Tian turned his head to look at Yun Xinyan, his expression mischievous, with a playful smile.
Yun Xinyan, not so foolish as not to recognize that Ye Tian was teasing her, became furiously angry and started pinching and twisting at Ye Tian's waist.
"Ouch, they say women are born with three inherent skills, and it's true," Ye Tian teased as he watched Yun Xinyan.
"What three skills? I don't know about that."
"Pinching, twisting, squeezing."
Yun Xinyan couldn't help but puff up with anger. He was mocking her with his words. This damn guy.
Just then, a roaring sound of a motor erupted behind them, and Ye Tian raised an eyebrow and casually remarked, "Maserati CEO."
Yun Xinyan frowned and turned to look, only to see at the road's end, a dark gray Maserati CEO sports car speeding toward them, its roar reminiscent of a wild beast causing people on the road to look sideways with shock. Of course, many others looked on with envy.
After all, it was one of the top sports cars, an existence many dream of, truly a means of transportation for the upper class.
Yun Xinyan was quite shocked, but not because of the Maserati. Although expensive, to Yun Xinyan, such cars were easily affordable—she had over a dozen such sports cars under her name for entertaining various clients.
What shocked her was Ye Tian. Without turning his head, just by hearing the sound, he knew—it was definitely a skill possessed by someone who was an expert with cars!
"You know cars?" Yun Xinyan asked curiously.
Ye Tian chuckled, turning his head to blink at Yun Xinyan, "You should ask, Little Tian Tian, is there anything you can't do?"
"Get out! All you know is to joke!" Yun Xinyan couldn't help but smile, realizing that this mysterious and charming man seemed to be capable of anything!
"Since you know everything, why don't you guess if the driver is male or female?"
Ye Tian shrugged, not even turning his head. "Male, not too old, between twenty-one and twenty-five years old. There's also a woman in the car."
"Are you so sure?" Yun Xinyan was a bit shocked, still a bit skeptical. Perhaps Ye Tian knew them?
Soon, the Maserati sports car overtook many vehicles ahead and pulled up in front of Ye Tian and herself. The driver turned out to be a young man around twenty-three, quite handsome but with an arrogant and ostentatious face. Judging by his haughty demeanor and expensive attire, he seemed to be a rich second-generation.
There was indeed a woman in the passenger seat. As for her looks, she seemed somewhat familiar, yet Yun Xinyan couldn't recognize her. This was because she had the face of an internet celebrity.
Whether she had achieved this look through cosmetic surgery or was naturally so, it was up to the beholder to decide.
The driver's hand casually moved away from the woman next to him, his face lighting up with joy. He had just spotted Yun Xinyan.
Although she was riding a cheap public tandem bicycle, from the back, Yun Xinyan looked like a perfectly beautiful woman at that moment. Her hair danced in the wind, and from time to time, she raised her lotus arm to tidy her messy hair on her face, revealing a glimpse of an exceptionally perfect face that nearly made the young man's soul fly away.
Without a second word, he immediately slowed down, rolled down the window, and glanced lustfully at Ye Tian, who was moving slowly. Then, his gaze fell on Yun Xinyan and he lightly whistled, "Hey, beauty, mind switching to a different ride?"
The young man thought that any woman upon receiving his invitation would uncontrollably accept, just like the woman beside him.
However, Yun Xinyan had no mood to entertain the young man, and shocked, she said to Ye Tian, "How did you do that?"
It was too magical; he had actually guessed right—the young man was definitely no older than twenty-five.
"Heh heh, just call out 'hubby' and I'll tell you," Ye Tian smirked devilishly, prompting Yun Xinyan to smack him on the face, clearly annoyed.
Seeing that the couple ignored him by flirting and bickering, the young man felt as if his body and soul were struck, especially by Ye Tian, who looked utterly impoverished yet chased after a beauty like Yun Xinyan. The woman beside him, although very enchanting and beautiful, paled in comparison to Yun Xinyan.
"Sigh, life is so unpredictable, good cabbage has been taken by the pigs." The young man slowed down, shaking his head, looking disdainfully at Yun Xinyan, "Beauty, I thought you were a discerning person, but apparently... you really degrade yourself. Isn't that right, Xiaorou?"
Xiaorou, feeling very annoyed upon hearing the young man's question, was upset that he was still flirting despite her presence. However, she dared not say anything since he was wealthy. Nowadays, girls would rather cry in a BMW than laugh on a bicycle.
Giving a nod toward the young man, Xiaorou also gave Yun Xinyan a look of disdain, "Really a waste of a good look, so lacking in taste."
"Haha, well said!" The young man laughed, rubbed Xiaorou's face, and turned his head looking triumphantly at Yun Xinyan.
Ye Tian glanced at him and felt bored. Facing such a brainless rich second-generation, he didn't even feel like stepping on him. Talking to him felt like lowering his own status.
Ye Tian didn't want to pay him any attention, but Yun Xinyan felt extremely annoyed. Not only did he call her cabbage, but he also insulted Ye Tian!
Yun Xinyan didn't understand why, but seeing Ye Tian insulted made her extremely upset. It was like, even the bad parts of something that belongs to her are treasures.
Irritated, she slapped Ye Tian, "Aren't you talented? Overtake that crappy car for me!"
"Haha! Beauty, are you joking?" The young man laughed as if he'd heard the most unbelievable joke in the world, slapping his steering wheel, "This is a top-configured Maserati president, a sports car. Your broken bicycle overtaking me? That's hilarious."
As he spoke, he floored the accelerator and quickly overtook Ye Tian by several meters, then suddenly stopped and leaned out the window with a playful smile, "Hey, come on, try overtaking me, let's see, if you can overtake me, I'll give you this car."
At this, Ye Tian couldn't help but laugh and turned to Yun Xinyan with a devilish smile, "Little girl, hold onto my waist, watch how I brag and take you flying!"
Yun Xinyan burst into laughter, but she believed in Ye Tian's capability, of course, not really caring about overtaking the Maserati.
Embracing Ye Tian's waist and feeling that sensation, Yun Xinyan felt very fulfilled. She was surprised by why she would feel this way, maybe it was easy going downhill, and she was happy to let it be.
Then, Ye Tian exerted his legs, beginning to accelerate to the limit!
Whoosh!
Instantly, like a ghostly figure, the somewhat clumsy and heavy tandem bicycle suddenly seemed as if a cheat was activated in a game, speeding forward rapidly.
The distance with the young man was quickly closed as they sped up simultaneously.
The young man was dumbfounded but immediately pressed the accelerator, with the roar of the fierce beast of the engine and the Maserati speeding forward.
In the young man's view, though Ye Tian was fast, he definitely wasn't as fast as his sports car.
However, after a minute or two, the young man was horrified to find that he couldn't catch up with Ye Tian!
"Damn it, I don't believe this!" The young man, furious, floored the gas pedal, suddenly reaching one hundred and twenty miles per hour, the speed was extreme.
Yet, to his disappointment, he was still unable to catch up!
And at that moment, he glanced at the speedometer, it was actually one hundred and eighty miles per hour!
"Damn it! This is a freak!" The young man cursed, and when he looked up again, he was even more baffled because the figures of Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan had already disappeared.
The next moment, suddenly, the car stopped suddenly, making the young man baffled. He got out to check, and in frustration, he kicked the car.
"Damn it, it breaks down now!"
