Ding! The host has been detected driving fiercely and is in an excellent mood. Reward: 200,000 yuan in cash.

—Okay, got it.

Su Yang's attention was completely focused on the driver's seat of the Lamborghini.

When the two cars were driving side by side, he turned his head to look. Since both windows were closed and they were going over 200 kilometers per hour,

Su Yang could only vaguely make out that the other driver seemed to be a girl.

After overtaking her, Su Yang thought about waiting for the Lamborghini behind him. The moment he eased off the gas, the Lamborghini instantly overtook him from the right lane again.

"Hey! So you're getting serious, huh? Looks like we've been matched up. Fine, fine, wherever you're going today, I'm going too!"

Su Yang stepped on the accelerator again and chased after her.

The two cars continued their game of cat and mouse on the highway.

Actually, Su Yang could have easily prevented the Lamborghini from overtaking him again after he passed it. However, because he wanted to confirm whether the other driver was a man or a woman, he slowed down a little every time he overtook her and let the Lamborghini pass him again.

After going back and forth three or four times, Su Yang finally confirmed the other driver's gender.

Female.

More precisely, she was a young woman.

"Not bad. A girl driving a Urus, and driving it this aggressively, too. She must be a cool beauty."

Half an hour later, the navigation system informed Su Yang that he was about to exit the highway.

Looking at the Lamborghini not far ahead, he sighed, "What a pity. I have to get off the highway. If I weren't going home to have dinner with my parents today, I'd definitely see this through to the end with you."

As he spoke, he floored the accelerator and overtook the Lamborghini. This time, he didn't slow down again.

The Lamborghini behind him fell farther and farther back.

Su Yang glanced at the rearview mirror and smiled faintly. "Bye-bye, beauty."

Just after he finished speaking, his rearview mirror flashed again.

"Damn, stop flashing your lights. You can't catch me."

After driving another two kilometers, Su Yang slowed down and entered the ramp.

He had just entered the ramp when the Lamborghini caught up in the rearview mirror again.

"Hm? What's going on? You're still following me after getting off the highway? Are you really determined to race me?"

The two cars exited Yang City's toll station one after the other. Before Su Yang could speed up, the Lamborghini suddenly shot past him and stopped by the roadside ahead.

Seeing this, Su Yang also slowed down and pulled over.

The moment he stopped, he saw a dashing young woman step out of the Lamborghini's driver's seat.

She wore sunglasses, had fair skin, and sported a short, slightly wavy bob that reached her shoulders. She wore a black Dior cropped T-shirt on top, tight denim hot pants below, and a pair of gray-and-white Dunks. Her two long legs were even longer than Su Yang's life.

Su Yang's eyes lit up when he saw the woman get out of the car.

"Damn, what a great figure. But I can't see what she looks like with those sunglasses on."

—System, it's your turn to act!

Pan Ning, age: 24 Height: 170 cm Weight: 54 kg Appearance: 93 Figure: 93 Number of relationships: 0 Bind?

—Bind!

—She's twenty-four and has never been in a relationship? Interesting.

—But I'd like to see whether she really deserves a score of ninety-three.

Su Yang was still thinking when Pan Ning had already walked in front of his car.

She gestured for Su Yang to roll down the window.

Su Yang couldn't be bothered to lower the window. He had been driving for a long time and wanted to get out for some fresh air anyway.

He opened the door and stepped out.

Pan Ning stood in front of him, removed her sunglasses, and tossed her stylish short hair.

Only then did Su Yang finally see what she looked like. She wore light makeup and had an oval face with exceptionally delicate features—willow-shaped brows, almond-shaped eyes, a high nose, and slightly full lips that made her look very sexy.

Su Yang's eyes lit up.

"Damn, I like this type!"

"Is something wrong?" he asked politely.

Pan Ning said nothing. Holding her sunglasses in one hand, she swung them back and forth as she walked around Su Yang's car once, then stopped in front of him and asked coldly,

"Is that the new 707?"

"Yeah, that's right. You know your cars." Su Yang smiled.

Pan Ning said calmly, "There aren't many people who can overtake me on the highway, but you're the first person to overtake me and then deliberately brake repeatedly to let me pass."

"Although I lost to you today, I'm not convinced. Next time, I'll switch cars and race you again."

"Huh? You're coming again?"

"Of course. You beat me and deliberately toyed with me several times. I seriously suspect you were messing with me."

"Uh, I didn't mean it that way. I simply wanted to see whether the person driving the Urus was a man or a woman."

Before Pan Ning could speak, Su Yang continued, "But did you really get off the highway just for something this trivial?"

Pan Ning smiled faintly. "It isn't trivial to me. Besides, I didn't get off the highway because of you. I was coming to Yang City anyway."

"Oh? What a coincidence. Do you live in Yang City?"

"No. I'm from Sea City. I came here for something."

Su Yang nodded and deliberately said, "All right, then. If there's nothing else, I'll be going."

"Wait! Going where?" Pan Ning pulled out her phone and stepped forward, speaking with some force. "Take out your phone and add me on WeChat. We'll arrange another race sometime."

With a smile on his face, Su Yang thought, "Interesting. I like this girl."

He looked at Pan Ning and smiled. "Adding you is fine, but what kind of car are you planning to race me with next time?"

"Don't worry about that. As long as it can beat your Aston Martin."

Su Yang raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled. "Fine, but I won't drive the Aston Martin next time. I'll switch cars, too."

"Whatever you want!" Pan Ning replied with an indifferent smile.

Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Since you're so confident, let's make a bet."

"Go ahead."

"Next time, I'll find a place, and we'll race from zero to four hundred meters. If I lose, I'll treat you to dinner. If you lose, you'll treat me. How does that sound?"

"Fine, but I definitely won't lose."

"Good. Confidence is a good thing. I hope you can live up to it. Come on, let's add each other on WeChat."

The two added each other on WeChat. Pan Ning looked at Su Yang and said calmly, "Name."

"Su Yang."

"Su Yang. I'll remember that. My name is Pan Ning. See you next time." After saying this, Pan Ning turned and left.

Su Yang watched Pan Ning leave with a smile on his face. Although he had fought alongside Zhao Mengrou and Gu Xiaoman before, he hadn't felt attracted to either of them.

Now, facing Pan Ning's cool, slightly adorable demeanor, his heartbeat uncontrollably quickened.

"What an interesting girl. She's already driving a Lamborghini at such a young age. She must be a rich second-generation."

"This is the first time I've met someone like her. Cool and beautiful. I have to win her over!"

With that thought, he returned to the car and drove home.

Su Yang's home in Yang City was located in an urban-rural fringe area between the city center and the suburbs.

He had grown up there. As he drove, he thought, "After my parents get used to things, I'll buy them a better house in the city and have them move to Sea City. Though I guess getting them to move there probably isn't realistic."

Soon, Su Yang drove back to the building where his home was located in Qinghe Residential Community.

The appearance of the Aston Martin instantly attracted the attention of some young people.

After all, luxury cars worth several million yuan rarely appeared in this area.

"Whoa, what kind of car is that? It's so good-looking."

"It has wings. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a Bentley."

"A Bentley? It looks so cool. I wonder which rich person came to visit relatives."

Su Yang didn't notice those young people at all. After parking the car in the somewhat crowded residential community, he got out.

Looking at the place he hadn't returned to in more than a year, he sighed inwardly, "I haven't been home in more than a year without even realizing it. It feels a little like returning home in glory."

As he was sighing, a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties and was slightly plump walked toward him.

"Yangyang!"

Hearing the voice, Su Yang quickly turned around. The person approaching was his mother, Chen Liping.

A smile immediately appeared on Su Yang's face, and he shouted, "Mom!"

He laughed and rushed forward, pulling Chen Liping into a hug.

Although Chen Liping looked annoyed, her happiness was obvious. "You finally decided to come home, huh? All right, all right, you're not a child anymore. Stop hugging me."

Su Yang smiled and stepped back. "I haven't seen you for more than a year. I missed you, Mom."

"What a smooth talker."

"Hehe. By the way, why are you outside?"

"Your father called and told me you were coming home for dinner today, so I went out to buy some groceries."

Su Yang glanced at the groceries Chen Liping was carrying in both hands and snatched them away.

"Come on, give them to me. I'll carry them."

"Oh, isn't this Little Yang? You're back?" At that moment, a middle-aged woman about the same age as Chen Liping approached from behind her.

Su Yang smiled when he saw her as well. "Aunt Zhang, long time no see."

"It really has been a long time. The last time I saw you, you were quite chubby. You've lost weight now. Huh? Sister Ping, is this Little Yang's car?"

Only then did Chen Liping notice the black SUV behind Su Yang.

She shook her head and smiled. "That car looks so expensive. How could it possibly belong to Yangyang?"

Su Yang cut in, "Mom, this is my car. But it isn't that expensive—only three or four hundred thousand yuan."

"What? Three... three or four hundred thousand? Where did you get the money?" Chen Liping was stunned.

Three or four hundred thousand yuan was an astronomical sum in their household. Even when their savings had been at their highest, they had only had tens of thousands.

Su Yang thought, "Huh? What's going on? Dad hasn't told Mom yet?"

He explained again, "I already told Dad on the phone. I've been doing business with some friends since last year. Business has been doing very well these past few months, so I bought a better car. I'll explain everything to you in detail after we get home."

Chen Liping remained extremely shocked as she listened to Su Yang. She didn't recognize the brand of the car behind him, but it certainly looked very expensive.

Aunt Zhang stepped forward and smiled. "I told you I'd just seen Little Yang get out of this car, but you insisted it wasn't his. Well, look at you, Little Yang. You've made something of yourself and bought such a nice car. You two will be able to enjoy the good life from now on~"

Chen Liping's face reddened slightly, but she was immensely happy inside. This was the first time in decades that she had felt proud in front of her friends.

She smiled. "What good life? We're all getting old. As long as we can live peacefully for the rest of our lives and our children stay healthy, that's all that matters."

"That's right, that's right. That's the most important thing."

"I'll head back first. Ah, that's wonderful." Aunt Zhang slowly walked away, a trace of envy in her eyes.
