[Ding! Detected host driving aggressively, mood is excellent, reward of 200,000 cash.]

"Okay, got it."

Su Yang's attention was entirely on the driver's seat of the Lamborghini at this moment.

As the two cars drove side-by-side, he turned his head to look. Since the car windows were all closed and they were traveling at over 200 km/h.

Su Yang only vaguely saw that the other driver seemed to be a girl.

After overtaking, Su Yang was still thinking about waiting for the Lamborghini behind him. He had just eased off the accelerator when the Lamborghini instantly overtook him again from the right lane.

"Hey! Getting feisty, huh? Looks like we're a match. Alright, alright, wherever you go today, I go!"

Su Yang stomped on the accelerator again and chased after it.

The two cars continued to chase each other on the highway like this.

Actually, Su Yang could have avoided being overtaken by the Lamborghini again after he passed it. However, in order to confirm whether the other driver was male or female, he slowed down slightly each time he overtook, letting the Lamborghini pass him again.

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

Female.

To be precise, she seemed to be a young woman.

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

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

He looked at the Lamborghini not far ahead and sighed, "It's a shame I have to exit the highway. If I weren't going home to have dinner with my parents today, I'd definitely race you to the end."

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

The Lamborghini behind him was being left further and further behind.

Su Yang glanced at his rearview mirror and smiled slightly, "Bye-bye, beautiful."

As soon as he finished speaking, his rearview mirror flashed again.

"Come on, stop flashing. You can't catch me."

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

Not long after entering the ramp, the Lamborghini in his rearview mirror caught up again.

"Huh? What's going on? Still following after exiting the highway? Are you determined to race me or something?"

The two cars drove through the Yang City toll station, one after the other. Before Su Yang could accelerate, the Lamborghini suddenly shot past him and stopped on the side of the road ahead.

Seeing this, Su Yang also slowed down and pulled his car over to the side of the road.

As soon as he stopped, he saw a striking young woman get out of the driver's seat of the Lamborghini.

She was wearing sunglasses, had fair skin, and shoulder-length, slightly curly short hair. She wore a black Dior short-sleeved t-shirt on top and tight denim hot pants on the bottom, with a pair of gray and white Dunks on her feet. Her long legs seemed longer than Su Yang's life.

Su Yang's eyes lit up as he looked at the woman getting out of the car.

"Damn, that's a nice figure. But I can't see her face clearly with the sunglasses."

"System, it's your turn to act!"

[Pan Ning, Age: 24] [Height: 170cm] [Weight: 54kg] [Appearance: 93] [Figure: 93] [Relationship Count: 0] [Bound Status]

"Bind!"

"She's 24 and never dated? Interesting."

"But I want to see if she really has a score of 93."

As Su Yang was thinking, Pan Ning had already walked up to his car.

She reached out to Su Yang, gesturing for him to roll down his window.

Su Yang didn't bother rolling down the window. He had been driving for a while and wanted to get out and stretch his legs.

He opened the door and got out.

Pan Ning stood in front of him, took off her sunglasses, and tossed her flowing short hair.

Now Su Yang could finally see her clearly. She was wearing light makeup, had an oval face, and very delicate features. She had graceful eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a high nose bridge, and slightly full lips, making her look quite sexy.

Su Yang's eyes lit up, 'Damn, I like this type!'

"Is there something you need?" he asked politely.

Pan Ning didn't say anything. She swayed her sunglasses in her hand as she walked around Su Yang's car, then walked up to him and said coolly.

"The new 707?"

"Yeah, that's right. You really know cars," Su Yang said with a smile.

Pan Ning said in a flat tone, "Not many people can overtake me on the highway, but you're the first one to pass me and then deliberately brake repeatedly to mess with me."

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

"Huh? Again?"

"Why not? You beat me and then toyed with me a few times. I seriously suspect you were playing me."

"Uh, I didn't mean it like that. I just wanted to see if the person driving the Urus was male or female."

As Su Yang spoke, before Pan Ning could reply, he continued, "But you came off the highway just for something like that?"

Pan Ning smiled faintly. "This isn't a small thing to me. And I wasn't coming off just for you; I was planning to come to Yang City anyway."

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

"NO, I'm from Hai City. I have some business here."

Su Yang nodded and deliberately said, "Alright then, if there's nothing else, I'll be going."

"Wait! Where are you going?" Pan Ning took out her phone and walked forward, saying somewhat assertively, "Give me your phone number and let's add each other on WeChat. We can arrange another race another day."

Su Yang smiled inwardly, thinking, Interesting, I like this girl.

He looked at Pan Ning and said with a smile, "We can add each other on WeChat, but what car are you planning to drive next time we race?"

"That's none of your business. It'll be something that can beat your Aston Martin anyway."

Su Yang raised an eyebrow and smiled lightly. "Okay, but I won't be driving my Aston Martin next time. I'll switch cars too."

"Suit yourself!" Pan Ning smiled indifferently.

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

"You say it."

"Next time I'll find a place, and we'll race a 0 to 400-meter drag race. If I lose, I'll treat you to a meal. If you lose, you treat me to a meal. How about that?"

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

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

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

"Su Yang."

"Su Yang, I'll remember it. My name is Pan Ning. See you next time." Pan Ning finished speaking and turned to leave.

Su Yang watched Pan Ning leave, a smile on his face. Although he had competed with Zhao Mengrou and Gu Xiaoman before, he hadn't felt any romantic feelings for them.

Now, facing the cool yet slightly cute Pan Ning, his heart involuntarily sped up a little.

What an interesting girl. Driving a Lamborghini at such a young age. She must be a rich second-generation.

This is the first time I've encountered this type of girl – cool and beautiful. I have to win her over!

With that thought, he got back into his car and drove home.

Su Yang's home in Yang City was located in an area where the city and suburbs merged.

He had grown up there. On the way, he thought, After Mom and Dad get used to it, I'll buy them a better place in the city. Asking them to move to Hai City is probably unrealistic.

Soon, Su Yang drove back and parked in front of his apartment building in the Qinghe Residential Community.

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

After all, luxury cars worth millions rarely appeared in this area.

"Whoa, what car is that? It looks amazing."

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

"A Bentley? So cool. I wonder which rich person is visiting relatives."

Su Yang didn't notice the young people at all. He parked his car in the somewhat crowded community and got out.

Looking at the place he hadn't returned to in over a year, he sighed, "It's been over a year since I last came home. It feels a bit like returning home in triumph."

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

"Yang Yang!"

Su Yang heard the voice and quickly turned his head. The person approaching was Su Yang's mother, Chen Liping.

Su Yang's face immediately lit up with a smile as he shouted, "Mom!"

He smiled and rushed forward to hug Chen Liping.

Although Chen Liping had a look of disapproval on her face, she was visibly happy. "You're finally willing to come home, huh? Alright, alright, you're all grown up, stop hugging."

Su Yang smiled and stepped back. "It's been over a year since we last saw each other, Mom. I missed you."

"Such a smooth talker."

"Heh heh, by the way, why are you out here?"

"Didn't your dad call me saying you were coming back for dinner today? So I went out to buy some groceries."

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

"Here, here, give them to me, I'll carry them."

"Oh, isn't this Little Yang? You're back?" At this moment, a middle-aged woman of similar age to her walked up from behind Chen Liping.

Seeing the person, Su Yang also smiled, "Aunt Zhang, long time no see."

"It really has been a long time since I last saw you. You were quite chubby last time I saw you, but now you've lost weight. Huh? Sister Ping, is this Little Yang's car?" Chen Liping noticed the black SUV behind Su Yang after hearing this.

She shook her head and smiled, "This car looks very expensive. How could it be Yangyang's?"

Su Yang chimed in, "Mom, this is my car, but it's not that expensive, just three or four hundred thousand."

"What? Three… three or four hundred thousand? Where did you get the money?" Chen Liping's face was full of shock.

She knew that three or four hundred thousand was an amount their family had never seen before; their savings had never exceeded tens of thousands of yuan.

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

He explained again, "I already told Dad on the phone. I've been in business with a friend since last year, and business has been very good these past few months, so I bought a nice car. I'll tell you more about it when we get home later."

Chen Liping was still very shocked by what Su Yang said. She looked at the car behind Su Yang but didn't recognize the brand, though she just felt it looked very expensive.

Aunt Zhang, who was standing nearby, walked up and smiled, "I told you I saw Little Yang getting out of this car just now, and you said it wasn't his. Oh my, Little Yang, you're doing well! You've bought such a nice car. You two will have a good life to enjoy~"

Chen Liping's face flushed slightly, but she was very happy inside. This was the first time in decades she had gained face in front of her friends.

She smiled, "What good life to enjoy? We're old now. As long as the latter half of our lives can be peaceful and stable, and the children can be healthy and safe, that's all that matters."

"Yes, yes, that's the most important thing."

"I'll be going back now. Ah, that's wonderful." Aunt Zhang's face showed a hint of envy as she slowly walked away.
