169: Chapter 169 Oh my god!
Upon hearing this bold remark from her best friend, Lin Yuxi's cool, aloof cheeks turned bright red instantly.
She hurriedly reached out to pull her oversized bathrobe tighter and glared coquettishly at Tao Xiaoman.
"Xiaoman, don't talk nonsense. Brother Qi... he just has a better physical constitution, that's all."
Tao Xiaoman walked over, helped her to the sofa, and sat her down, her face full of envy.
"So rich, and with such great physical stamina..."
"Looking at how radiant you are, you definitely didn't lose out on this deal!"
Lin Yuxi lowered her head shyly, but her heart was filled with sweetness and a sense of security.
"Brother Qi had things to attend to this afternoon, and since I'm a bit inconvenienced right now, that's why I called you over."
Tao Xiaoman looked around the luxurious Presidential Suite, unable to help but click her tongue in wonder.
"The life of the rich is just different. You've completely secured your future for the rest of your life!"
"You usually look so quiet and reserved, I never expected you to land such a wealthy catch on your first try!"
Hearing her best friend's teasing, Lin Yuxi felt even more shy, and her face quickly turned beet red.
Seeing her best friend's glowing, peach-blossom complexion, Tao Xiaoman sighed and said, "It could only be you. Seeing you like this, even I, a woman, am moved. No wonder you were able to win the affection of such a perfect man."
...
Meanwhile, at the large motorcycle racetrack on the outskirts of the city, quite a few people had already gathered.
Accompanied by the roaring of engines, the atmosphere at the scene was exceptionally lively and boisterous.
Most of the people here were the fair-weather friends Song Jun had called over to show support.
Another part consisted of good friends from Li Bingyue's own circle.
The rest were motorcycle enthusiasts who had heard the rumors and came specifically to watch the excitement.
In the spacious lounge area next to the track, Li Bingyue was sitting by a high table.
Today, she was wearing a black and red tight-fitting riding suit, which perfectly outlined her hot figure.
Her long, straight legs and slender waist, which could be encircled by a pair of hands, attracted the heated gazes of countless men around her.
At this moment, she was surrounded by a group of fashionable girls of similar age.
This group of girls was chattering away, like curious babies, asking Li Bingyue all sorts of questions.
The core of their topic was entirely focused on that mysterious man, Zhang Qi, who was about to compete on behalf of Li Bingyue.
These friends understood Li Bingyue's personality best.
Although this young lady usually appeared bold and enthusiastic, she was actually extremely cold and aloof deep down!
In this circle, there had never been a man who could truly get close to her.
Not to mention letting her willingly hide behind a man and have him risk his life on the track for her!
For the always proud and arrogant Li Bingyue, this was simply an impossible occurrence.
So, everyone had a unified guess in their hearts.
That was that this mysterious man definitely had an extraordinary, ambiguous relationship with Li Bingyue!
"Bingyue, hurry up and confess, who exactly is that man?"
"Exactly! To be able to make our Miss Bingyue care so much, he must be a super handsome guy!"
"You usually don't even spare those rich second-generation heirs a glance, what kind of magic does this man have?"
Facing this barrage of gossipy questions from her friends, if it had been in the past.
Li Bingyue would have long since frowned and impatiently chased them all away.
But today, her reaction caused everyone's jaws to drop.
Not only was Li Bingyue not angry, but a faint smile hung on her beautiful, spirited face.
Although she didn't reveal any specific information, her eyes showed a hint of rare shyness.
This demeanor of a woman completely in love was enough to explain everything!
Seeing this, the group of friends around her immediately exploded like a pot of boiling water, jeering wildly.
"Wow, the iron tree has blossomed! Bingyue, you've really fallen for him!"
"Hurry and tell us, how far have you two developed? Have you done that yet?"
Li Bingyue's pretty face flushed red from their teasing, and she hurriedly reached out to cover the mouth of the girl beside her.
"Stop with the nonsense! When Brother Qi arrives later, don't talk nonsense and embarrass me!"
And just as the girls were laughing and making a scene, Song Jun on the other side was staring fixedly at them.
Surrounded by a group of his fair-weather friends, Song Jun took in the sight of Li Bingyue's shy appearance.
Seeing the woman he regarded as his private property wearing such an expression for another man.
The jealousy in his heart erupted like a volcano, burning wildly!
Gritting his teeth, he pushed aside the people around him and strode toward Li Bingyue.
Upon arriving, Song Jun crossed his arms and snorted coldly with a gloomy face.
"Hmph, what time is it now? That coward Zhang Qi is probably too scared to show up, right?"
Hearing these sarcastic words, the smile on Li Bingyue's face vanished instantly without a trace.
She stood up abruptly and retorted without showing any weakness.
"There are still several hours until the agreed race time, what are you rushing for?"
Seeing her protective stance, Song Jun's anger flared even more, and he sneered coldly.
"Hmph, keep being stubborn. Let's see what face you have to say that after you lose this race!"
Li Bingyue lifted her exquisite chin, her eyes full of disdain and confidence: "The race hasn't even started yet. Who wins and who loses isn't decided yet, so don't get happy too early!"
"Then just wait and see. I'll make him know what true crushing strength is!" Song Jun sneered disdainfully, his eyes filled with arrogant confidence.
He had already received confirmed news through an insider at the dealership this morning.
He knew that Zhang Qi had thrown away ten million yesterday to buy that champion motorcycle, which was the shop's prized treasure.
But this only made him more excited, because defeating a driver with a god-tier car would demonstrate his strength even more!
He admitted that the last time he won against Li Bingyue, it was indeed by relying on the performance of his car to crush her.
But this time, the situation was completely different!
Song Jun considered himself to have been grinding on this track for several years, and his skills were long since perfected.
And that Zhang Qi was just a novice with some stinking money who hadn't even touched a bike many times!
Even if Zhang Qi was riding a ten-million-level champion god-tier bike, it absolutely could not bridge the huge gap in skill.
Although Zhang Qi had already made it clear yesterday that this race would absolutely not use Li Bingyue as a wager.
But the young, hot-headed, and extremely arrogant Song Jun had a different calculation in his heart.
He still stubbornly believed that as long as he could fiercely trample Zhang Qi under his feet on the track today.
Then Zhang Qi would absolutely lose all face and roll out of this circle in shame.
By then, once Li Bingyue witnessed his powerful strength, she would definitely still obediently throw herself into his arms!
The way he looked at Li Bingyue still carried that high-and-mighty air of regarding her as something already in his pocket.
This extremely uncomfortable attitude made Li Bingyue's teeth itch with anger, and she couldn't wait to slap him directly in the face.
Just as the two were at loggerheads, the group of friends beside Li Bingyue also began to whisper among themselves.
Although they were usually on excellent terms with Li Bingyue, they had their own judgments regarding the outcome of this race.
"Bingyue, can that Zhang Qi really do it? Why have I never heard of this person in the circle?"
"Exactly, although Song Jun's character isn't great, he is indeed a good hand at running this track."
"Even if that Zhang Qi has the best car, if he doesn't have the skill, he definitely won't be able to beat Song Jun!"
"Even if he's rich, this is a real, high-stakes battle on the track!"
"Why don't we quickly think of a backup plan? It would be too embarrassing if we lose!"
Although the girls' discussion wasn't loud, it still clearly reached Li Bingyue's ears.
Listening to these words questioning Zhang Qi, the anger in Li Bingyue's heart could no longer be suppressed.
She turned around abruptly and raised her hand, slamming it heavily onto the high table in front of her.
With a dull "bang," everyone around was instantly startled.
"All of you, shut up! Brother Qi will definitely win!"
Hearing Li Bingyue still desperately defending Zhang Qi at this point, the jealousy in Song Jun's heart was practically overflowing.
The muscles on his face twitched slightly, and he raised his volume again, sneering loudly.
"Win?"
"If he really has the guts, let him show up on this track first!"
"I think he's just afraid of losing face in front of so many people and is too scared to come!"
Hearing this, Song Jun's fair-weather friends around him immediately cooperated by bursting into uproarious laughter.
However, the moment Song Jun's words fell.
A low and deep car engine sound suddenly came from the entrance of the lounge area.
Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look, only to see a car exuding an aura of luxury slowly driving into the lounge area next to the track.
The lounge area erupted in discussion.
"Holy crap, a Rolls!"
"And it's the Phantom Extended Wheelbase, that must cost over ten million, right?"
"Who is it? So flashy?"
