Chapter 97 - 97: We Won’t Die!
“Shen Junqing went to pick you up?” Qin Lu’s voice sounded calm, no different from usual.
“Yeah,” Nan Yan pinched her brow, suppressing the sudden sense of guilt that arose from nowhere, and calmly replied, “He happened to call me and knew I was at the airport, so he came to pick me up.”
Qin Lu said, “Alright, go ahead then.”
“Okay,” Nan Yan responded.
After a brief exchange, Qin Lu hung up the phone.
As they ended the call, Shen Junqing asked, “Sis, does that bastard Qin Lu still check up on you all the time?”
Nan Yan lowered her gaze and tugged at the corner of her mouth, casually saying, “Just to let him know I’ve landed safely…”
“Come on, sis, this is not good. In modern relationships, it’s usually the boyfriend who’s completed dominated by his girlfriend. How come it’s the other way around for you two?” Shen Junqing said, his eyes filled with amusement.
“Because he’s powerful,” Nan Yan started to fabricate, “I can’t control him, so he dominates the relationship.”
Shen Junqing’s peach blossom eyes sparkled with a hint of teasing and he melodiously said, “Conquering someone isn’t just about strength, it also requires tactics. Sis, how about I teach you some tricks for managing a relationship?”
Nan Yan replied, ”
Regardless of whether she needed it or not, Shen Junqing began sharing his love tactics with her, never-ending.
After finishing their meal, Nan Yan didn’t even go home and went with Shen Junqing to their usual racing spot.
Perhaps because Shen Junqing and his sister became quite famous lately, the other racers felt intimidated when they saw them arriving.
Liang Qian was still there.
She looked at Nan Yan walking side by side with Shen Junqing and her eyes were filled with resentment, growing like wild vines.
Her resentment was so strong that she clenched her teeth tightly, making a squeaking sound.
But after suffering a loss at Nan Yan’s hands twice before, she had grown smarter and wouldn’t dare to attack openly.
Liang Qian suddenly sneered.
Tonight might just be Nan Yan’s unlucky day!
As for Shen Junqing, she would stop him.
If he insisted on racing, then he could only blame himself!
Shen Junqing mingled among the crowd like a social butterfly, chatting with others.
Soon, the race was about to begin.
His car was driven up by someone else.
This time, Nan Yan would be the one racing, and she sat in the driver’s seat.
Shen Junqing was about to sit in the passenger seat when Liang Qian stopped him.
“Third Young Master, I have something I want to tell you. Can you spare a moment?”
Liang Qian wore heavy smoky makeup, dressed in a revealing crop top and hot pants, displaying her alluring figure. She stood in front of Shen Junqing, and the crowd started to cheer.
Shen Junqing’s smile gradually faded, and he looked at her coldly, his voice indifferent, “Move aside.”
“Third Young Master…” Liang Qian tightly clenched her fists, her eyes exuding intense hatred. ” How did I offend you? Why are you suddenly so cold to me?”
Shen Junqing’s peach blossom eyes carried a hint of sarcasm, and his melodic voice showed no mercy as he said, “Don’t try to sow discord between me and my sister. Who are you to even think about it?”
“Don’t bother me; I’m not interested in you.”
With these cold words, Shen Junqing opened the passenger door and got in.
Liang Xian squeezed her fists tightly, her eyes filled with bone-deep hatred.
Shen Junqing was indeed doing this for that cheap woman, Nan Yan!
Since that was the case, they might as well die together!
With a wave of the flag, more than a dozen racing cars rushed out like a hurricane.
Nan Yan was not in a hurry. She waited until the others had sped a distance before she stepped on the accelerator and the Japanese sports car began to accelerate.
When they reached the first bend, Nan Yan steered the car around the corner. Her expression turned serious as she asked calmly, “Third Brother, how often does your car get maintenance?”
“If it’s used for competitions, it will be maintained after every competition. If it’s not used for competitions, it will be maintained once a month at most.”
Shen Junqing answered casually and then asked, “Why are you asking this?”
Nan Yan controlled the car and said slowly, “The driving system in the car has been tampered with, and the brakes are in a half-malfunctioning state.” “Once the speed reaches 200km/h, the brakes will disappear.”
Shen Junqing suddenly became nervous,” Sister, we won’t compete in this match. Find a flat place and stop the car as soon as possible!” He did not want to lose his life for such a small amount of money!
“It’s too late.”
Nan Yan’s tone was still calm.” My speed has reached a critical point. The brakes are useless. I can’t slow down.”
“Then what should we do?” Shen Junqing grabbed the seatbelt on his body.”
Wouldn’t we be dead?”
This was a winding mountain road with narrow roads and many twists and turns. It was a natural place for racing!
But that was under normal circumstances.
They were courting death by driving a car with broken brakes and no way to slow down!
“Younger sister, it is unexpected that I would spend my final moments with you before I die. It is third brother who has implicated you..
Shen Junqing’s tone was apologetic.
If he hadn’t coquettishly rolled around with her and asked her to participate in this competition, she wouldn’t have been in such danger.
She wouldn’t be here, nor would she sit in the driver’s seat because of his request.
“Shut up.” Nan Yan interrupted him in frustration.” Don’t affect my judgment.
She did not want to die yet.
It was not easy for her to be reborn. She had not avenged her parents and herself. How could she die?
“We won’t die.”
She didn’t know if she should comfort Shen Junqing or herself.
The out-of-control car sped faster and faster. The racers around them watched as the car sped forward and dodged, afraid that it would crash into the bottom of the cliff.
Nan Yan’s forehead was covered in sweat.
Shen Junqing became silent, afraid to make any sound.
He didn’t look ahead or in any other direction; his eyes were fixed on her.
His eyes were devoid of panic or fear, just calmly watching her.
Her captivating appearance made it hard to look away.
Shen Junqing thought to himself that it’s no wonder Qin Lu fell for her.
Even he, unintentionally, had developed feelings for her.
If they truly couldn’t escape this ordeal, perhaps it wouldn’t be a bad idea to make a confession before they died…
Nan Yan was unaware of Shen Junqing’s wandering thoughts.
Her brain was fully engaged, seeking a glimmer of hope.
The car’s speed had already reached a lightning-fast pace as it navigated the dangerous mountain road, performing high-difficulty turns and drifts.
Any slight mistake could lead to both of them and the car tumbling off the cliff.
Falling from here would mean certain death.
“Third Brother, hold on tight,” Nan Yan’s eyes showed a hint of madness, “Let’s try a challenging move.”
Shen Junqing instinctively gripped the seatbelt in front of him and said softly,
“Okay.”
“Sis, I trust you!”
