God of Racing

Chapter 701 - 689

Chen Ke changed his mind and picked up the camera, "Alright, I’ll take pictures of you!"

"Hmm?" Pei Pei smiled, her lips curling up, "Thanks a lot!"

As she spoke, she walked towards the bathroom, "I’m going to remove my makeup."

Chen Ke snapped a few shots with his camera as she was already inside. That graceful silhouette swayed, and Chen Ke felt a flutter in his heart.

As he finished processing the photos, a girl sidled up to him, wearing a delicate floral dress with a light shawl draped over her shoulders.

She was tall and leaned close to him, "Are you done?"

"..." Chen Ke turned his head sharply, his lips accidentally brushing her nose tip. He had never been this close to a girl before, and instantly felt a bit stiff, instinctively swallowing.

Pei Pei, confused, waved her hand in front of his face, "What’s wrong? What are you spacing out for?"

"You..." Chen Ke was astonished, "That was you just now?"

Pei Pei nodded, "What’s wrong?"

She adjusted her bob hair and smiled sweetly, "Really? Don’t recognize me without makeup?"

She didn’t dwell on the question and tilted her head toward Chen Ke, "Are you coming or not? I’m leaving! Let’s go together!"

"Uh... okay."

Chen Ke hesitantly nodded. Honestly, his heart was a bit chaotic. He never thought a girl could have such distinct duality. She could be outrageously glamorous with makeup, yet so effortlessly pure like a water lily without it.

Pei Pei was completely unaware that Chen Ke had been watching her. Feeling a bit hungry, she dug out a bag of chips from her bag.

She tore it open with a ’sst’ and stuffed a handful into her mouth.

Then, she grabbed another handful and held it out to Chen Ke’s mouth, "Open up!"

"No, I don’t need any." Chen Ke hurriedly refused.

"Tch!" Pei Pei frowned, commanding him, "Open your mouth!"

Chen Ke paused, then obediently opened his mouth.

Pei Pei grinned and stuffed the chips into his mouth, "Hehe, that’s a good boy now!"

As Chen Ke chewed the chips, he wondered why they tasted so sweet. Did they put honey in them?

When they reached the hotel entrance, Pei Pei waved goodbye to Chen Ke, "Bye now, handsome!"

"..." Chen Ke failed to stop her and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Yet, his gaze couldn’t move away. What a vibrant life this was! As Pei Pei left the hotel, she called Yu Sangwan.

"Hello, darling..." Pei Pei spoke in a sticky-sweet tone, giving goosebumps to whoever listened.

Yu Sangwan took the call during her lunch break at a restaurant, "Sweetie, just say it, where are you now?"

"Waaah." Pei Pei whimpered, "I’m in a cab now, when are you coming back to spoil me?"

"Speak properly!" Yu Sangwan feigned annoyance, "Or I’ll ditch you!"

"Whoa, it’s been years, and you dare to scold me!"

"Haha..." Yu Sangwan laughed, "Go home first, the Fu Family is easy to find. I’ve informed the butler, and your room is ready... Get some sleep first. When the little bun gets back, let him entertain you. My dad and I will be back late."

"Hmph!"

Pei Pei snorted, "Always bullying me, making me babysit as soon as I arrive!"

"Haha..." Yu Sangwan laughed heartily, "Sweetie, be good!"

She hung up the phone and turned around, bumping into Helian Si.

"Ah..." Yu Sangwan was startled, looking at him dumbfounded. When did he get here? How long had he been standing behind her? How could he make no sound at all?

Helian Si lowered his eyes to look at her, a truly beautiful face! But how could he be so hurtful?

"Chief..." Yu Sangwan’s lips moved, "Ah Si..."

"Ha." Helian Si chuckled, a mix of disdain and self-ridicule, repeating loudly, "Sweetie?"

"Huh?" Yu Sangwan realized and hurried to explain, "It’s not what you think, she’s Pei..."

She just got out one word before remembering, standing before her now was Helian Si, who had no memory of Jinxuan...

So she changed her words, "She’s my friend."

"Is that so?" Helian Si found it even funnier, "You have a lot of friends! And each one is more important than me!"

"Ah Si..." Yu Sangwan was anxious, raising her hand to reach for him.

But Helian Si had already turned around and walked away.

Yu Sangwan’s hand hung in mid-air, her look forlorn, murmuring, "It’s not that, Ah Si... It’s Peipei, you forgot me, and everything related to me..."

She had to work overtime in the evening due to an event.

Yu Sangwan only learned about it when she arrived and was in the lounge helping Helian Si change his clothes.

She thought for a moment and spoke softly, "I know you’re in a bad mood, but... it’s really not what you think. If you want to hear an explanation, I can tell you anytime. Promise me, don’t drink too much, okay?"

"Hmph."

Helian Si smirked, asking, "Do you really care that much about me?"

"Yes." Yu Sangwan’s eyes were moist, "Ah Si, can we stop quarreling?"

To be honest, with her gentle voice, Helian Si couldn’t help but be moved. He twitched his lips, "We’ll see!"

Watching him leave, Yu Sangwan still felt uneasy. She didn’t need to attend such occasions, but today she had to go over... because Le Zheng was coming back. Le Zheng was someone who seemed forever like a child and never took care of himself, she was afraid he would forget.

Exiting from the side door, Yu Sangwan took out her phone and called Le Zhengsheng.

At that moment, Le Zhengsheng was with Helian Si.

Helian Si’s expression was calm, but his presence was formidable. Le Zhengsheng appeared somewhat weaker in front of him.

Helian Si held a goblet, a smile at the corner of his mouth, "Come, Mr. Le Zheng, what a pleasure to meet you today. I toast to you."

"..." Le Zhengsheng had not expected this turn of events awaiting him.

But how could he refuse a drink toasted by the President? With his brow furrowing slightly, his phone rang. Le Zhengsheng glanced at it, of course, he wouldn’t answer, "Yes, I am honored by your generosity, Mr. President."

With that, he raised his glass and drained it all in one go.

"Ha." Helian Si chuckled, "Mr. Le Zheng, you hold your liquor well, how about... we drink in a private room?"

"This..." Le Zhengsheng’s brow furrowed in difficulty. But it was hard to refuse, so he had no choice but to brace himself. "Yes."

Helian Si curved his lips and turned to walk ahead. Le Zhengsheng rubbed his temple, feeling a vague discomfort.

On their way, they encountered Yu Sangwan. Yu Sangwan was holding her phone, grumbling, "Why isn’t Ahsheng answering my calls?"

The three collided unexpectedly.

Yu Sangwan was stunned, "..."

Le Zhengsheng looked unwell, silently shaking his head at Yu Sangwan.

Seeing this silent exchange between them, Helian Si was immediately provoked! He sneered coldly, "Reporter Yu, who are you calling? Where are you going? At this moment, shouldn’t you be waiting for me in the lounge?"

"..." Yu Sangwan glanced at Le Zhengsheng, wondering how to respond. She could already sense Helian Si’s displeasure.

If it were the old Jinxuan, he would understand... but now he was Helian Si!
