章節 137: Chapter 137 Nan Nan, I Love You
The couple leaned over the roadside railing. Zhao Yanan gazed at the brightly lit city, the stars, the moon, and the patterns left by the evening breeze in the mountain forests. Her face was lit up with a serene and beautiful smile.
Chu Yuxuan's smile was equally beautiful. While she admired the night, he admired her. Perhaps, in his eyes, all the marvelous nightscapes of Beishan in Jiangcheng combined were not even a fraction as beautiful as she was.
"Cough, cough..."
A gust of evening wind blew by, causing Zhao Yanan to suddenly cough a few times. She hunched her shoulders and pulled her coat tighter around herself. Seeing this, Chu Yuxuan took off his jacket.
"Put this on; it's getting chilly," Zhao Yanan refused.
However, Chu Yuxuan insisted, draping his jacket over her shoulders. He adjusted the collar with both hands as they stood facing each other, their bodies close. Out of nowhere, Chu Yuxuan hesitantly asked, "Nan Nan, may I... hug you?"
Zhao Yanan involuntarily felt a sense of resistance. This was a condition she couldn't control.
Chu Yuxuan noticed her slight tremor but didn't seem disappointed; instead, his eyes filled with a layer of heartache.
Zhao Yanan took a deep breath, a trace of guilt in her eyes. After a moment, she reached out to Chu Yuxuan and smiled, "Thank you, Yuxuan. I'm really happy today."
"Then shall we come here every day?" Chu Yuxuan held her fingertips and asked.
Zhao Yanan smiled, "We can come when we're not busy... Achoo..."
Noticing that his wife was catching a cold, Chu Yuxuan adjusted the jacket on her, trying to button it up. But since he was already slim, the jacket wasn't very wide. With Zhao Yanan's figure, it simply couldn't be buttoned up.
"Being too big is troublesome too..." Chu Yuxuan muttered with a playful grin.
"You...," Zhao Yanan's face flushed with a mix of embarrassment and anger. She kicked Chu Yuxuan's ankle and scolded, "You can't stay proper for even a few minutes! Shameless!"
Chu Yuxuan, both in pain and pleasure, grinned and said, "Let's go home before you catch a real cold."
After getting into the car, Zhao Yanan fastened her seatbelt and shot a glare at Chu Yuxuan. "I think you're a natural rogue; it's not an act at all."
As he buckled his seatbelt, Chu Yuxuan turned to her and asked, "If this counts as being a rogue, then how much worse would a real rogue be?"
"Shameless."
"Thank you."
Zhao Yanan glanced at his carefree face, turned her head to look out the window, but the corners of her mouth hinted at a faint smile. This rascal of a man was always so shameless.
From the beginning, when she would get so angry she could jump, to now, when she wasn't really angry at all, time had passed quietly, trying to prove something.
Chu Yuxuan started the car and asked, "More excitement?"
Zhao Yanan looked at him, hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, "Let's take it slow. It's dangerous going down the mountain."
"Whatever you say." Chu Yuxuan held the steering wheel with one hand and pulled out his phone with the other, opening a WeChat message from his second brother.
Second Brother: Xue Can, apparently his family is in the investment business. His background is hard to trace, very mysterious. Give me some time.
Chu Yuxuan didn't reply, pocketing his phone, lost in thought.
Noticing Chu Yuxuan's sudden silence, Zhao Yanan paused and asked, "Who was that man chasing us tonight?"
Chu Yuxuan gently shook his head, "I don't know him."
"He was already against you during the auction..." Zhao Yanan pondered, "Did you hit on his girlfriend in the past?"
Chu Yuxuan was speechless, "Why do you always think of these things? I swear, I've never touched any of those women, not even once. It was all just acting."
Zhao Yanan's lips moved, "What about the woman in the qipao? Can you say you don't know her?"
Chu Yuxuan smiled slightly, "Jealous?"
Zhao Yanan rolled her eyes, "I can't be bothered with you."
"Heh," Chu Yuxuan chuckled and explained, "I met her a few days ago while having dinner. She's the general manager of a restaurant, and we've only met twice. I'm not familiar with her, nor do I want to be."
Zhao Yanan: "That's your business."
"Really, I'm not familiar with her," Chu Yuxuan added for more credibility, embellishing his words, "She asked for my contact information, but I didn't give it to her."
Just as he finished speaking, his phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello?"
"Chu Yuxuan, are you home yet?"
The car was now winding down the mountain road, the signal was weak, but even though the voice on the other end was breaking up, Situjingyao's bewitching and seductive voice was still unmistakable.
The atmosphere in the car instantly became awkward. Zhao Yanan's eyes held a hint of mockery as she stared at Chu Yuxuan, who coughed awkwardly and asked, "How did you get my number?"
Situjingyao didn't explain but instead said, "My friend was a bit rude to you tonight. I saw him driving after you and got a little worried, so I called to check on you."
Chu Yuxuan replied coolly, "You could have asked him, no need to ask me."
After her warm face met a cold shoulder, Situjingyao let out an awkward laugh and said, "Your wife must be beside you, afraid of a misunderstanding? Hehe... Well, I won't bother you then. Bye-bye."
After hanging up, Chu Yuxuan clicked his tongue and awkwardly explained to Zhao Yanan, "I'm a member of their restaurant, so she must have looked up my number in the system."
Zhao Yanan replied indifferently, "It's none of my business."
Chu Yuxuan was a bit frustrated. What was Situjingyao up to, calling at such a time?
Thinking back, Chu Yuxuan couldn't shake the feeling that he had seen Situjingyao somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember where.
With a sigh, Chu Yuxuan was about to put away his phone when it rang again—this time, it was from Chu Zhiqing.
The car had just reached a sharp turn, and from the other side of the curve, headlights appeared. Chu Yuxuan didn't hurry to answer the call and gently pressed the brake.
The next second, a large truck roared around the bend, speeding so fast that its body was tilted to the extreme.
Chu Yuxuan immediately focused, seeing the truck barreling directly into his lane as if intentionally aiming to crash into him. He quickly pulled the handbrake and sharply turned the wheel, swinging the GTR into the opposite lane, narrowly avoiding a crash.
Zhao Yanan held her breath in fear from the sudden event. At such close range, if it weren't for Chu Yuxuan's quick reaction and excellent driving skills, they would have been sent tumbling down the mountainside.
On the narrow mountain road, the truck driver must be insane to drive that fast!
Before she could even catch her breath, two more large trucks appeared from around the bend, side by side, blocking the entire road ahead!
Chu Yuxuan noticed that they weren't slowing down but accelerating towards him. Realizing they were targeting him, he told Zhao Yanan to "hold on" before drifting to turn around. But the trucks were too close, and the rear of the GTR was violently struck. The car swerved from side to side, and with the bend, the left rear wheel broke through the guardrail, leaving it hanging in mid-air.
As another truck rushed towards the passenger side, Zhao Yanan's pupils contracted in terror, and she couldn't help but scream.
Chu Yuxuan's brows furrowed as he shifted gears and floored the gas pedal. The modified engine's 1,300 horsepower roared to life, spewing flames from the exhaust as the car straightened and sped back up the mountain.
But just then, the truck that had already gone up the mountain reversed, blocking the curve entirely.
With a cliff on the left and a precipice on the right, the GTR had no escape, about to be crushed between the two trucks.
In just a split second, Chu Yuxuan made his decision, drifting the car towards the cliff. At the same time, he grabbed Zhao Yanan's hand. "Nan Nan, I love you."
