"Hey, I like you."

Ronan didn't know how long those words had been brewing in the girl's heart before they finally couldn't be contained and burst out like a volcanic eruption.

Wei Wei's face was bright red, but she still held onto Ronan tightly.

At this moment, her mood suddenly completely relaxed, as if all her sadness and grievances had been vented.

She was originally a woman who acted on impulse.

That night of the assassination, Ronan's resolute walk towards the valley had already left a great impression on her; on the night of the Martial Hall, his continuous efforts to regain face for Yi Lin Manor made her see him in a new light.

A girl's thoughts are always unpredictable. The little devil girl, who had always looked down on ordinary men, fell in love for the first time.

She actively invited Ronan to dance, but was rejected; then came the confession that made her feel even more wronged.

If it weren't for maintaining the face of Yi Lin Manor, the moment Ronan told Xiang Feihu that he liked Su Xiao, she would have wanted to turn around and leave.

She ultimately held back, although her emotions were a bit out of control and she did some foolish things, she still stayed. She had Wang Xiaoman increase the bet on Ronan, not simply to boost the morale of Yi Lin Manor, but because deep down, she still had a little extravagant hope – that Ronan could win.

And he actually did it!

The moment Ronan delivered that armor-piercing blow, Wei Wei was overjoyed.

However, when Ronan walked out of the elevator, the first person he went to was not her, but Wang Xiaoman; and the second person he went to was Su Xiao, her heart turned cold.

She silently told herself: This man already has a woman he likes; he's not worth me worrying about so much.

So she deceived herself, she turned and left, she avoided seeing him.

For a whole week, she didn't see Ronan.

It was the same after school started.

However, the busy life didn't seem to completely clear away that shadow. Whenever she had a moment of leisure, she couldn't help but think of that somewhat handsome face, sometimes a little dull, and most of the time seemingly out of place in this world.

She sat alone in her dorm room, staring blankly for three days. All she could think about was Ronan.

She hated herself. However, the most wonderful thing about feelings is that, like an evil Wizard casting the most terrifying magic on you, the more you try to forget, the more deeply ingrained it becomes.

She felt suffocated. She couldn't bear it anymore. She decided to confess everything.

And so, there was Wang Xiaoman's clumsy acting tonight – her only worry was whether Ronan would actually come.

Fortunately, although Wang Xiaoman couldn't act or lie, she was originally a girl who was poor at expressing herself; simply acting naturally and memorizing the lines Wei Wei gave her was enough to move Ronan.

In Wei Wei's eyes, everything fell into place naturally.

No matter what happened next, she felt relieved.

If you have something in your heart, you should say it; if the feeling is right, you should confess.

This was Wei Wei. The young lady of Yi Lin Manor, the mischievous little devil girl in the eyes of others, the kind and gentle young mistress in the eyes of the maids, and in Ronan's eyes... a completely unpredictable character.

Wei Wei was in a cheerful mood.

The atmosphere on the scene was awkward.

Lin Chenluo looked at Ronan with a face like he had eaten shit.

Ronan looked at everyone with an innocent expression.

After a moment of silence, he managed to say, "I... I think I understand. Uh, let go first, you come with me first."

He had originally thought that the usually spoiled Wei Wei would continue to make things difficult for him.

Who knew that after confessing, the little devil girl suddenly transformed into a docile little white rabbit clinging to him.

She softly whispered "Mm," obediently let go, and looked completely compliant.

The onlookers were dumbfounded.

They couldn't quite wrap their heads around it.

Wasn't today the racing competition of the Carnival Night?

How did it suddenly turn into a show of affection between these two?

And what was the meaning of Ronan's attitude? Miss Wei Wei confessed to you like this, and you only said "I think I understand"? Hey, anyone with a brain can understand, okay?

Are you two just going to leave now?

The first to react was still Lin Chenluo.

He said with a displeased face, "Miss Wei Wei! There's still a race tonight! You personally said you would participate... If you don't participate, this Rose Sword will be mine!"

Wei Wei glanced at him disdainfully: "It's just a Rose Sword, what if I give it to you?"

The other noble youths were speechless.

Just a Rose Sword.

For them, a Rose Sword was already a very expensive supercar, and some people couldn't even save up that much money from their allowance all year; however, for Wei Wei, she just casually threw it away, as if she didn't care at all.

Since even the car owner didn't care, the others naturally had nothing to say.

Although Lin Chenluo had inexplicably acquired a supercar, for some reason, seeing Ronan's deadpan expression made him feel unhappy. He was very familiar with the other four people participating in the race tonight; they were definitely not his opponents. This kind of race with no suspense was truly boring.

Just as Lin Chenluo was trying every possible way to keep Wei Wei, Ronan suddenly stopped.

"Is this car yours?"

He looked at the Rose Sword and asked Wei Wei.

Wei Wei nodded obediently.

"This is your bet for tonight?"

Ronan frowned.

Wei Wei explained, "If you hadn't come tonight, I would have played with them; it wouldn't matter even if I lost. It's just a Rose Sword. How could their cars compare to mine? They're betting five of their cars against my one Rose Sword."

Ronan's eyes suddenly lit up!

"You mean, if you win, those five cars will be yours?"

Wei Wei was puzzled, but thinking that Ronan's focus had always been different from others, she patiently said, "That's right, but I'm in a good mood today, so I won't play with them! Racing is so dangerous."

However, the next second, Ronan looked at Wei Wei with shining eyes:

"...I have a request."

Wei Wei was greatly startled. She had known Ronan for so long and had never heard him make a request of her.

"Just say it," her heart was a little excited, but she tried her best to keep her tone calm.

"Let me race."

"I'll race against them. But if I win, can those five cars be counted as my winnings?"

Ronan scratched his head a little awkwardly, "Don't worry, I will definitely win."

Wei Wei frowned.

She had come out racing with Lin Chenluo and his group originally to vent some of the frustration in her heart; now that Ronan had arrived, she had said everything she needed to say, and her frustration had been released. How could she still be in the mood for racing?

Who knew Ronan would say such a thing.

Could it be that he likes cars? Wei Wei knew that although the Earl was very good to Ronan, Ronan didn't seem to have as much private money as she did. If he encountered a car he liked, he probably wouldn't have the money to buy it.

So she said gently, "Racing is very dangerous, let's forget it. If there's any car you like... well, I can lend you money."

She was afraid of hurting Ronan's pride, so she had originally intended to use the word "buy," but ultimately changed it to "lend."

However, Ronan shook his head.

"Let me race."

His attitude was very stubborn.

Because only Ronan himself knew that he didn't like cars.

He saw the Primal Stones inside these supercars!

"Five supercars are enough to increase Noah's energy to over 50%!"

Ronan's eyes were practically turning green!

He had been worried about ways to make money these past few days. He had originally thought he was coming to deal with trouble today, but unexpectedly, he had suddenly encountered a way to make money!

It just depended on whether Wei Wei agreed.

The little witch's eyes darted around, and she suddenly said with a smile, "No problem... as long as you agree to be my boyfriend, you can do whatever you want!"

Ronan's face darkened. Although he was very slow when it came to emotions, he wasn't that slow.

At most, he had a feeling of care for Wei Wei, mostly stemming from his gratitude to the Earl. How could there be any real love? He admired Wei Wei's courage and appreciated her style—but this didn't mean Ronan was prepared to agree.

He was actually a very reserved man.

So he could only feel regret, remain silent, and prepare to leave.

Lin Chenluo and the other noble descendants nearby, hearing the conversation between the two, felt like their balls were aching all the way to the Western Star Region.

Were there really no normal people in Yi Lin Manor?

These two were said to be cousins. It was one thing for a cousin to have a crush on her cousin, but what was with the sudden confession? The subsequent plot development was even more infuriating.

When Lin Chenluo heard that Ronan wanted to participate in the race, he almost jumped for joy!

He had finally found an opportunity to humiliate Ronan, how could he let it go?

He still had doubts in other areas, but racing—

Heh heh... Was his title as the Azure Dragon Mountain Car God just for show?

Who knew Wei Wei seemed reluctant to let Ronan participate, which was very troublesome.

The host and the audience were already yawning.

Jones was just short of holding a megaphone and roaring: Can you two take this kind of evening eight o'clock soap opera home to act out? Please move aside, we're trying to race here!

However, Yi Lin Manor's reputation was too great. A few words of argument were fine, but if they truly offended these young ladies and gentlemen, they wouldn't be able to handle the consequences.

Wei Wei had anticipated Ronan's reaction anyway. She hadn't expected a single confession to succeed; she just wanted Ronan to know her feelings.

"Alright, since you insist on going, then go ahead."

"But be extremely careful. To me, this car isn't as important as your life."

Wei Wei handed over the key and said softly.

Ronan took the key, was silent for a moment, then said with a bit of embarrassment:

"Thank you... I owe you a favor."

Wei Wei smiled sweetly, appearing ethereal and stunning under the glow of the headlights.

Ronan was startled for a moment, then quickly lowered his head and walked towards the starting line.

Are girls' smiles always this lethal?

Feeling his heart involuntarily speed up, this question popped into Ronan's mind.

Honestly, I still need to drive... There's no time left, hurry up and vote for recommendations!
