Chapter 8
Bai Yin wasn't particularly interested in mountain racing.
Sun Lili, on the other hand, was excited to go, buzzing in her ear like a mosquito. Bai Yin decided to give in and go along, just to see what kind of man her fiancé really was.
"Let me put on some makeup."
"You just took it off, didn't you?"
"That was my bridal makeup. Now..." Bai Yin shook the dark foundation in her hand. "My fiancé already thought I was a village girl. I can't disappoint him."
"Forget it, ancestor!" Sun Lili grabbed Xia Sang's hand. "You don't know what the scene is like at the mountain races. The car models are all hot and sexy, and there are so many beautiful girls there! Don't dress like a bumpkin! I bet if you go with your natural looks, you'll be the most eye-catching woman there! Your fiancé might even fall in love with you at first sight!"
Bai Yin stared at Sun Lili for a few seconds. "You're right!"
"See!"
Without hesitation, Bai Yin took out a darker shade of foundation. "Love at first sight is too scary."
"..."
Under Sun Lili's frantic protest, Bai Yin only applied a darker foundation, making her skin tone a little darker, but she didn't put on any special eye makeup. She managed to preserve her beauty.
The crazy racing fans turned the small town at the foot of the mountain into a sleepless night club, with colorful flags flying everywhere and rock bands playing metal music. The hot car models were everywhere, and there were countless handsome guys dressed in cool styles.
Bai Yin tied her hair into a big braid, wearing a gaudy jacket that Sun Lili had found for her. She put on a pair of slim pink sunglasses that complemented her deep skin tone and freckles on her face, giving her a chic motorcycle-girl look.
Sun Lili exclaimed and took away Bai Yin's purse. "You're so beautiful! You've got a face that can launch a thousand ships. What do you need to sew or embroider? You're destined to be a star in the entertainment industry."
Bai Yin snatched her purse back. "This is a skill my grandmother taught me. When I become famous, I will promote the art of Su embroidery."
"So, you want to not only be a star, but also do business."
"Of course."
"Then you have to start a fashion company."
"I can do that," Bai Yin smiled. "I'll endorse my own brand and save on endorsement fees."
Sun Lili brought over a blue cocktail and clinked glasses with her. "Here's to our successful business!"
"What do you mean, our business? Did I say I'm partnering with you?"
"We have such perfect cooperation," Sun Lili nudged her with her elbow, smiling. "I'm telling you, don't abandon your teammate halfway."
"That's not even a thing. Besides, I think whatever I do, I'll be successful!" She clinked her glass with Sun Lili's.
"You're so confident in yourself?"
"In college, you used to wake up at 5:30 every morning, rain or shine, for four whole years," Sun Lili's eyes were misty with admiration. "With that kind of perseverance, I knew that the bet I made on you was definitely not wrong."
Bai Yin clinked glasses with her. "I hope you didn't bet wrong."
...
Even though Bai Yin had applied makeup to "tan" herself, her stunning features and graceful figure still attracted many admiring glances. Several handsome young men walked over to chat with her, and Bai Yin was receptive to all of them.
"Do you like racing, Miss?" one of the men asked.
"This is my first time here," Bai Yin replied.
"No problem. If you like racing, I can take you."
"I've only ridden a motorcycle before."
"Have you raced on mountain roads?"
"A few times, but not very fast."
"Sitting in a race car is a completely different feeling. If you like it, I'll take you."
"OK, great!"
Sun Lili quickly pulled the butterfly-like Bai Yin away. "Don't mind those guys. None of the guys who come here to play are reliable."
Bai Yin laughed. "But they're all so good-looking."
"Good-looking? Don't forget, just a few days ago, you slept with the most handsome guy in Beijing."
"That's different. Chen Huaixiao is handsome, but he can't be caught. I want someone who can be caught for real."
"You want someone you can worship," Sun Lili smirked meaningfully. "So... has he ever worshiped you?"
Bai Yin's heart skipped a beat, and she stared at Sun Lili in horror. "You're driving too fast."
"Come on, tell me!"
"There's nothing to say."
"That means there is something!"
As the two girls playfully bantered, the starting whistle for the race had already blown.
Bai Yin looked up and saw Chen Huaixiao stepping out of his race car. Most of the time, he dressed in elegant and restrained high-end suits, but when he took off his suit and put on this fiery maple red racing suit, he looked just like the carefree youth from Bai Yin's memories.
Bai Yin trembled as she watched him from afar, her hormones running wild and her DNA stirring. All she could think about was sleeping with him.
"Tsk tsk," Sun Lili sighed in Bai Yin's ear. "No wonder his fans say he's a god during the day and a demon at night. The contrast is too strong."
Seeing Bai Yin staring at Chen Huaixiao intently, Sun Lili immediately held her head and redirected her gaze to the man in the black racing suit on the other side of the road.
With a flat top haircut, single eyelids, sharp features, a smug smile on his lips, and a curvaceous car model in his arms, he was the real fiancé Bai Yin should be paying attention to: Qin Jue.
Bai Yin's head involuntarily turned back to Chen Huaixiao.
Sun Lili rolled her eyes.
"See, there he is! How handsome is Qin Jue!"
Bai Yin's head swiveled back to Qin Jue again.
Sun Lili: ...
Oh well, love whoever you want.
Due to the conflict at the club that day, Qin Jue couldn't stand Chen Huaixiao, but he didn't dare to confront him directly. So today's competition is a direct confrontation and contest between them.
A few days ago, Qin Jue issued a challenge, but Chen Huaixiao's company was busy with affairs and had no intention of dealing with this foolish rich second generation. However, for some reason, he showed up today.
"Chen Huaixiao, how about we change the rules today?" Qin Jue said casually.
"Tell me about it," the man replied.
"We'll play a rally race, each with a woman to go up the mountain, cross the unmanned area at the fastest speed, and then plant a flag at the summit." Qin Jue pointed to the opposite mountain peak.
In the dense night, the mountain top was shrouded in heavy clouds and was very far away.
As we all know, rally racing is not about speed, but about road conditions, environment, car performance, and... courage.
"As for the bet... let's bet 10% of the best-performing company's shares of our respective teams!"
As soon as these words were uttered, everyone was shocked.
10% of the shares! How many billions would that be!
This bet tonight is a big one!
"So, Chen Huaixiao, dare to play?"
Chen Huaixiao replied expressionlessly, "Why not?"
At this point, someone asked Qin Jue, "Qin Ge, rally racing requires a navigator, but what's the point of bringing a woman as a co-pilot?"
Qin Jue smirked, "It will take at least a day back and forth, the long night is lonely, you know."
"Oh, Qin Ge is really a player."
The women sneered at Qin Jue and expressed disdain for him.
Chen Huaixiao said calmly, "Girls shouldn't be treated as companions, they should be treated as teammates. The final section is a mountain road, and the girl can go up and plant the flag. How about that?"
Hearing his words, the car models around them instantly became excited and looked at Chen Huaixiao with even more crazy love.
Qin Jue treats women as companions and playthings, while Chen Huaixiao treats them as teammates.
What an etiquette and style he has.
"No pain, no gain," Sun Lili sighed in Bai Yin's ear. "Now you understand why Chen Huaixiao, as a big boss behind the scenes, has more fans than the top male stars. He truly respects women."
"I know," Bai Yin said. She knew that despite his carefree appearance, Chen Huaixiao had the bearing of a gentleman.
Even though both times were under the influence of alcohol, he would never force her if she said no.
So in fact, both times, it was Bai Yin who lost control.
Naturally, Qin Jue was unhappy that Chen Huaixiao had gained a favorable impression, but he had no choice but to agree.
"I'll pick someone then," he said, scanning the group of car models and settling on the girl in the pink cardigan leaning against Chen Huaixiao's car.
She had chestnut-colored wavy hair and a sexy strapless top under her pink cardigan, and her boots outlined her long and beautiful legs.
"Kitty, want to play together?"
When they saw him pick Kitty, the people around them couldn't help but change their expressions slightly and whispered.
Bai Yin asked Sun Lili, "Who is this girl?"
Translation revised by @Translators_Empire.
"Kitty, there were rumors before that Chen Huaixiao had a thing for the girl he was linked with, but it was just a rumor," Sun Lili said, looking at Bai Yin with sensitivity. "Why are you getting excited?"
"Am I getting excited?" Bai Yin asked.
"Well, it's pretty obvious," Sun Lili continued, "It seems like she used to be with Chen Huaixiao for a while, and she's a great dancer with a good waistline. She even loves your hairstyle."
She said this, and then she flicked Bai Yin's long braid.
Bai Yin snatched back her braid and said, "This hairstyle is too old-fashioned, it doesn't match the trendy style of the girls around here."
Sun Lili commented, "But Qin Jue actually chose a woman who was linked with Chen Huaixiao before. Regardless of whether the rumor is true or not, he's provoking enough!"
Bai Yin looked at Kitty, who clearly didn't want to be there. She kept staring at Chen Huaixiao, hoping he would speak up and confront Qin Jue for her.
But Chen Huaixiao remained unmoved.
Qin Jue laughed arrogantly and provocatively, "Master Chen, I chose your woman. Do you mind?"
"She's not my woman," Chen Huaixiao replied coldly, his eyes cold and his voice indifferent. "There's nothing to mind."
Kitty gritted her teeth and unwillingly walked to Qin Jue's side, sitting in the passenger seat.
Qin Jue looked triumphant and said, "It's your turn to choose."
All the girls raised their hands, expressing their willingness to go and have fun with him.
That's right, all of them!
Even Sun Lili next to Bai Yin!
Bai Yin looked at Sun Lili in shock and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'm sorry, sister. But he's Chen Huaixiao! I'd rather give up ten years of my life to have a night with this handsome guy. Besides...you don't like him anyway, so it's not a betrayal of our friendship."
"..."
"You have no backbone."
Chen Huaixiao's gaze swept lightly over all the girls, and finally fell slowly on Bai Yin. He murmured, "Little braid, come over here."
Bai Yin was surprised that he called her by the nickname he gave her in the past.
"I didn't raise my hand!"
"Come over here."
The man's deep voice repeated these two words.
All the girls' eyes fell on Bai Yin.
Jealousy, envy, unwillingness...a mixture of emotions.
Bai Yin, under the hot gaze of everyone, reluctantly walked over to Chen Huaixiao, and lowered her voice to emphasize, "Chen Huaixiao, I didn't raise my hand."
"I know, but you have better stamina than her, and you can help me win," Chen Huaixiao said.
"...Well," Bai Yin said, unwilling to push him away, like a stubborn child.
Qin Jue was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Chen Huaixiao to choose this...black girl who was clearly not interested in him.
"Chen Huaixiao, I chose your woman. You wouldn't stoop so low as to choose this black girl," Qin Jue said.
Chen Huaixiao knew that Qin Jue's usual taste was fair-skinned, beautiful, and with long legs, with fair skin being the top priority. He couldn't handle Bai Yin's current appearance.
He placed his strong and slender fingers on Bai Yin's shoulder in a dominant manner, embracing her casually, and said, "You didn't take away my woman, but the one I chose happens to be Qin Shao's fiancée. Sorry about that."
Bai Yin rolled her eyes in silence.
He chose her just to win, not only the competition but also to win face.
What a despicable man!
Qin Jue was dumbfounded, staring at Bai Yin in disbelief and asked, "Wh-what fiancée?!"
Bai Yin replied expressionlessly, "Hello, I'm Bai Yin, the second young miss of the Su family."
The crowd was in an uproar upon hearing this.
This was really... Qin Jue's fiancée.
Qin Jue was almost suffocating and dizzy, realizing that he had made a huge mistake!
