Chapter 280

Xie Tingsi was unreliable a lot of the time, but he put protecting his family first.

He didn't want his career to put them in danger.

After Shen Baili got her driver's license, the first person she took for a spin was Xie Tingsi.

The reason was simple.

She wasn't very good at driving yet, so she needed someone to practice on.

Xie Tingsi was healthy, had nerves of steel, and had time to spare. He was the obvious choice.

Xie Tingsi was deeply moved. "Having a little sister is the best!"

"I knew our Little Pear Blossom would think of me first!"

Shen Baili nodded. "That's right. The moment I got my license, you were the first person I wanted to take for a drive, Second Brother!"

He could take the stress—and the damage.

Xie Tingsi patted Shen Baili on the shoulder. "And here I thought all that doting I did might go to waste!"

Shen Baili giggled. "Second Brother, buckle up. Let's go!"

"Okay! Let's go!"

The silver Bentley rolled onto the wide road, wobbling at first. A minute later, it was cruising steadily.

The path the car traced vividly illustrated Shen Baili's state of mind.

She had been nervous as she drove onto the road, but once the steering wheel was in her hands, the feeling of being in control captivated her.

She absolutely loved it.

Unlike when she was learning, she had a license now. She could go wherever she wanted.

Shen Baili was thrilled. She lowered the window, and the wind brushed her cheeks, a little warm.

Summer was scorching, just like her excitement.

Shen Baili hummed, "Speeding with the wind, freedom is the way..."

She changed the lyrics as she went.

Xie Tingsi joined in. "Wildly—" His voice cracked. "Chasing—" It cracked again.
