I instantly frowned, "With people all around, making such a scene, Mr. Cheng, are you afraid nobody recognizes us or what?"
He cocked a crooked smile at me, raising an eyebrow, "Since you're so scared of being recognized, why not hurry up and get in the car!"
My expression darkened as I reached out to him, "I can't get in, I've got things to do, give me back my stuff."
"Stuff? I don't recall having any of your things on me."
"Don't play dumb, Mr. Cheng!"
I spoke coldly, but just as I finished, a barrage of impatient honking filled my ears. Startled, I turned around only to find several cars had suddenly turned up behind us, with Cheng Yu's car stuck in the middle of the road causing a long tailback.
"Pick a place for your lovers' spat, for Christ's sake. You're blocking the road—do you not give a damn about letting others pass?"
The driver behind us stuck out his head, cursing loudly. His voice was so loud that I immediately felt everyone's gaze turn to me.
My heart skipped a beat, but Cheng Yu looked as if it was none of his concern, still wearing that grin as if to say if I didn't get in the car, he would just keep on blocking the road.
"Getting in?"
I gritted my teeth and cursed him a million times in my heart, but I had no choice but to comply and sit down in his car.
The moment I closed the car door, the vehicle shot off like an arrow, Cheng Yu speeding up to a hundred miles per hour right through the bustling city streets.
I swept a glance at the dashboard with a stone face, not saying a word.
He looked at me, seemingly surprised, "Not scared, are you?"
I turned to face him, "Would it make a difference if I was? Would Mr. Cheng stop the car if I said I was scared? Or maybe if I say I'm scared, Mr. Cheng would give me back my earring?"
His lips curled up, amusement dancing in his smile, "You won't know unless you try, will you, little lady?"
"Fine, let's try then."
We were approaching a red light, so I unbuckled my seatbelt right away.
He raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised, "What are you up to, little lady?"
"Fuck you!"
After my retort, I leaned over the seat and lunged at him.
"The earring has a tracker, Master Zhao had just checked it and found out I was around. If I can't retrieve it today, I'd be exposed anyway, so might as well drag you into making headlines with me."
I reached out and hooked my arm around his neck, planting a kiss on his lips.
I was gambling.
Zhao Mengxi was Master Zhao's precious pearl; over the years, there were no shortages of second-generation rich pursuing her that were from good families, but none caught Master Zhao's eye.
Master Zhao has climbed to his position today, employing all sorts of shady tactics away from the public eye, and making quite a few enemies. While he's around, those people naturally wouldn't dare do anything, but should he be gone one day, just Zhao Mengxi alone wouldn't be able to hold down the fort. For Master Zhao to consent to his marriage to Zhao Mengxi, he surely had intentions of grooming him as his successor.
I bet that this man wouldn't gamble his future just to mess around with me.
But what I never expected was that instead of seeing any signs of panic when I threw myself at him, all I saw was a deepening of the playful glint in his eyes.
I was momentarily stunned, not reacting quickly enough when suddenly I felt a strong force at my waist.
He pushed me against the steering wheel behind, followed by his dangerously charming face closing in on mine relentlessly.
"Mmph—"
A wave of subtle woody fragrance mixed with a faint masculine scent enveloped me, his hand gripping my hip, while the other snaked inside my collar.
The moment the cold touch hit my chest, I jerked as if electrocuted.
He lifted my skirt and pinned me down on his legs, but as I sat down, I froze.
I could feel a large, hard object trapped between us; he had unzipped at some point, and the next thing I knew, it sprung out from his trousers, pressing tightly against my private area...
My whole body trembled, and I stared at him with wide, horrified eyes, pounding his chest frantically, stuttering broken words from between our locked lips.
"You—are—you—insane!"
I struggled desperately, nearly suffocating from his tongue's entanglement until he finally loosened his hold with a crooked smile at my ear, "Didn't you want to screw me? I'm just indulging the lady's fancy, so how come I'm crazy now?"
Bracing myself, I sat up, careful not to let my lower half touch him at all.
All I wanted was to bluff him, but I really didn't expect this man to be so audacious and unscrupulous!
This was at a red light junction!
I declared I was done playing and couldn't outdo him, trembling as I tried to crawl back, but just as my hand touched the armrest between the seats, a car behind us came hurtling our way.
Bang—
The sudden crash and the deafening noise that followed assaulted us without warning. With no support to hold on to, my upper body was thrown back.
The man quickly grabbed and pulled me back to prevent me from hitting the rear windshield.
At that moment, I couldn't care less about our close, ambiguous position. Shaking and in shock, I pressed my chest and shoved the car door open.
But just as I pushed the door and peeked out halfway, the door of the car that hit us also flung open, and out stepped a woman with a fine figure walking over to us.
But as soon as I clearly saw the woman's face, it felt as though my blood had frozen in my veins at that moment!
