"Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!"
The GTR's engine roared like a beast, with the tires spinning rapidly, creating a cloud of thick smoke without moving forward, just spinning in place. Amidst the swirling smoke, the front of the car slowly shifted, seemingly about to touch the rear of the Lamborghini. Just as it looked like a collision was imminent, Chu Yuxuan quickly shifted gears, causing the rear of the GTR to slide once again. If you looked from above, you'd see the GTR gracefully maneuvering back and forth, inching its way toward the middle of the road with incredible smoothness.
This scene left the onlookers utterly stunned. The kind of effects you'd only expect to see in movies was happening right before their eyes in real life!
Situ Jingyao's eyes sparkled with excitement, her face unable to hide her thrill, as if her man was the one performing the stunt. Zhao Yanan stood frozen in shock. She knew Chu Yuxuan was a good driver, but she never expected...he was this good!
Earlier, her heart was pounding with worry, but now it beat with excitement. Her gaze inexplicably turned into one of admiration, and a delighted smile slowly spread across her face, making her look like a starstruck fan.
Xue Can's face was dark and grim, biting so hard on the filter of his cigarette that he couldn't draw any smoke, eventually spitting it out on the ground.
In less than half a minute, the GTR smoothly slid out of the narrow space. With this level of skill, who would ever fear parallel parking again?
Chu Yuxuan revved the engine, and the GTR emerged from the cloud of smoke. Then, with a sharp turn and a drift, the car stopped perfectly in front of the Lamborghini.
Next, this young master stepped out of the car, walked around to the passenger side, opened the door, and smiled at Zhao Yanan, saying, "Your Highness, the carriage awaits." The onlookers spontaneously erupted into applause, with many expressing their amazement. No one expected this seemingly spoiled son of the Chu family to have such exceptional driving skills. Under everyone's gaze, Zhao Yanan blushed and got into the car, her heartbeat still racing.
Chu Yuxuan glanced sideways at Xue Can, who was gritting his teeth, then pulled out his phone, pretending to check the time but actually snapping a photo of Xue Can. He immediately sent it to his father.
Afterward, he hesitated for a moment before waving at Situ Jingyao.
Situ Jingyao smiled and nodded, waving back with a hint of affection in her eyes.
"Nan Nan, you look a bit...excited?" Chu Yuxuan asked as he fastened his seatbelt, glancing at Zhao Yanan. "Could it be that you like speed and adrenaline?"
Zhao Yanan didn't hold back and nodded, "Yes! Yuxuan, I didn't realize you were so skilled with cars."
Chu Yuxuan was a bit surprised. He had always driven slowly with Zhao Yanan, afraid she might not enjoy the speed. He had never done any stunts before. Who would've thought that this cold, beautiful woman actually liked racing?
Seeing Chu Yuxuan's surprise, Zhao Yanan explained, "My mom used to love driving fast. She was really cool. When I was little, she often took me drifting...but by the time I was in third or fourth grade, my dad said I should be more ladylike, so my mom stopped taking me."
"I see..." Chu Yuxuan understood and smiled as he shifted gears, "How about I help you relive your childhood?"
Zhao Yanan gripped her seatbelt, her eyes filled with anticipation as she nodded slightly.
Chu Yuxuan smiled back and suddenly floored the accelerator. The GTR spun in place before launching forward! Watching the GTR speed away, Xue Can quickly jumped into the Lamborghini. At the same time, a young man in the crowd jumped into an Aston Martin. Situ Jingyao felt helpless, shooting Xue Can a warning look, "Stop embarrassing yourself!" But Xue Can ignored her completely, slamming on the gas to chase after Chu Yuxuan, with the Aston Martin close behind.
Situ Jingyao glanced around at the surrounding reporters, her lips curling into a smirk as she stepped into the nanny van.
The young woman in the passenger seat asked, "Sister, aren't you going to stop him?"
Situ Jingyao replied coldly, "He'll make the news tonight for sure. Plenty of people will handle him; why should I bother? Hmph...let's go to Honglou. I'm tired."
Meanwhile, Chu Yuxuan was finally letting loose. He pressed the button on the dashboard to switch license plates, speeding onto the outer ring road. It was nearly 10:30 PM, and there weren't many cars on the road.
As the car speed reached 160 km/h, Zhao Yanan, thrilled but slightly nervous, said, "Yuxuan, maybe you should slow down a bit. We're on a public road, not a closed track..."
Chu Yuxuan glanced at his wife with a smile. Tonight, Zhao Yanan was showing a side he'd never seen before—a soft, gentle woman, completely different from her usual cold, businesslike demeanor.
"I'm taking you to a place where the road is clear."
Zhao Yanan hesitated before nodding, "Okay."
Just as they were talking, Chu Yuxuan noticed through the rearview mirror that Xue Can's two cars were following them.
"Nan Nan, hold on tight. Let's make it more exciting!"
Zhao Yanan gripped the handle with one hand and her seatbelt with the other, taking a deep breath.
The next second, Chu Yuxuan suddenly spun the steering wheel, making a 180-degree drift so that the car was now facing the Lamborghini!
Xue Can was startled, instinctively slamming on the brakes. But Chu Yuxuan shifted into reverse, rapidly backing up while flipping him the middle finger.
It was only then that Zhao Yanan noticed Xue Can was chasing them, feeling a bit scared, she softly called out, "Yuxuan..."
"Don't worry," Chu Yuxuan said with a carefree smile. A few seconds later, he shifted gears again, and the GTR drifted around the speeding Aston Martin in a circle. After straightening the wheel, the GTR roared past the left side of the Lamborghini.
"Maniac!" Xue Can cursed, slamming the accelerator to give chase. After passing through a tunnel, he saw the GTR exit the highway in the distance. But by the time he reached the exit, the GTR was long gone.
When it comes to racing, having a good car is important, but skill is what really counts.
Besides, if you took apart that unassuming GTR, you'd find that its hardware was on par with any supercar. When it was modified, it was built to top-tier racing specifications.
After effortlessly shaking off Xue Can, Chu Yuxuan headed straight for Beishan, speeding up the winding mountain roads at over 200 km/h.
Zhao Yanan finally experienced the thrill of speed and adrenaline. At first, she tried to suppress her excitement, but after a few sharp drifts, she couldn't help but scream in exhilaration.
By the time they reached the mountain top, it was already 11:20 PM.
Chu Yuxuan parked the car by the roadside, looking at the still-excited Zhao Yanan, and asked with a smile, "Was it thrilling?"
"Yes!" Zhao Yanan's smile was bright, her breath slightly heavy.
"Get out," Chu Yuxuan said. "Whenever I was feeling down, I used to come here to watch the stars and the moon, feel the night breeze, and then I could sleep well. It's been a while since I've been here."
Zhao Yanan got out of the car, took in the serene surroundings, and then looked up at the sky. The crescent moon hung faintly, with countless stars sparkling like gems embedded in the dark sky.
Being close to the heavens always brings a sense of clarity and peace.
