Chapter 953: Chapter 0953: Playing the Rough Way
For a mont, White Rose’s heart was consud by an unprecedented chaos and unease. Yet, deep inside, she still clung to a sliver of hope, a trace of illusion.
She hoped it was rely a coincidence, that the demon buried deep within her heart wouldn’t reappear before her eyes!
The next mont, White Rose’s movents were slightly stiff as she reached out her hand and lightly shook Ye Xunhuan’s.
“You… Hello…”
Seeing White Rose’s sowhat uneasy expression, Ye Xunhuan understood all too well what was causing it.
After all, everything he had done to White Rose in the past was nothing short of cruel.
He had forced a woman who’d never even killed a chicken to beco a murderer—and not just once. She wasn’t treated as a person at all, but entirely as his plaything!
Though many years had passed, those mories weren’t the kind of thing that could simply be forgotten.
That past must have turned into a grim, gray chapter of her mories.
Now, with him appearing before her once again, that gray recollection surged back to the forefront of her mind.
After a symbolic handshake, Ye Xunhuan released White Rose’s hand and appeared to take a step toward Tang Yurou, though in reality, he was closing the distance to White Rose.
As he passed by her, Ye Xunhuan spoke in a voice only she and he could hear, “Don’t be afraid. I won’t do anything to you this ti.”
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, the faint hope and illusion in White Rose’s heart were instantly shattered!
The man standing in front of her was indeed the demon from back then—the one who had given her everything and yet destroyed her completely.
In that mont, White Rose felt as though she had fallen into an icy abyss, cold from head to toe.
He had reappeared before her. Did this an she was dood to relive the days of her past?
Ye Xunhuan had intended to ease White Rose’s tension, but little did he know, those few words drastically amplified her fear and unease!
Even if he had realized it, Ye Xunhuan wouldn’t have cared too much.
Though he had subjected White Rose to a dark life, he had also bestowed her with glory.
Everything White Rose now possessed in the capital was the reward of following Ye Xunhuan during that period.
The only difference was that Ye Xunhuan never gave those things a second thought, while White Rose used the secrets and wealth from that ti to build her current self.
Hence, strictly speaking, their past was more of a transaction than anything else.
Walking up to Tang Yurou’s side, Ye Xunhuan softly said, “Little Yurou, why don’t we just hang out here for a while?”
“But…”
“Don’t worry. It’ll be fine!”
Seeing Tang Yurou’s slightly worried expression, Ye Xunhuan gave her a reassuring look. “Ms. Bai’s precautions here are excellent—no doubt there won’t be any accidents. Right, Ms. Bai?”
Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words again, White Rose snapped out of her frightful daze.
She looked at Ye Xunhuan and nodded, “Y-yes!”
At this mont, while White Rose’s heart was still filled with dread, she couldn’t help but wonder about this man’s connection to Tang Yurou.
Could it be that Tang Yurou was his true woman?
White Rose’s reserved deanor did not escape Tang Yurou’s observation, leaving her puzzled.
This woman, who was entirely unfazed even in the presence of Qin Rung, now looked utterly timid before Ye Xunhuan. Why?
Although Tang Yurou’s heart was filled with questions, she refrained from asking any.
“Sheng, how do you usually play here?” Ye Xunhuan glanced once more at White Rose before turning to Sheng Wentao and asking, “What’s a lee?”
Given the distance between Sheng Wentao, White Rose, and Ye Xunhuan, Sheng Wentao hadn’t noticed White Rose’s change in deanor. Thus, he didn’t overthink it—besides, White Rose had only co due to Qin Rung’s influence to et Tang Yurou.
Sheng Wentao imdiately explained to Ye Xunhuan, “Ye, a lee is simple. Everyone competes in the race at the sa ti. During the race, you can use violent thods, like crashing cars or whatever. As long as you win, it doesn’t matter how you achieve it!”
“To put it plainly, it’s just like bumper cars!”
Upon hearing Sheng Wentao’s explanation, Ye Xunhuan instantly understood. So this was what they ant by lee!
It certainly aligned with the reckless style of these playboys—it was all about thrills!
But still, looking at those racing cars…
Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but feel a pang of irritation. What a bunch of spoiled brats!
“Exactly, Ye. So, what do you think? Wanna play?” Wei Shengjin imdiately egged him on, “If you’re not into it, we can switch to another ga—sothing gentler!”
Ye Xunhuan saw Wei Shengjin provoking him again and chuckled lightly. “We’re all n here—why bother with sothing gentle? If we’re playing, we’ll naturally play the roughest way!”
Wei Shengjin’s face lit up with excitent upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words. “Good! As expected of Ye—bold as always! Then today, we’ll play lee!”
“If you need a specific car, just let know. Or if you’ve spotted one you like, just say the word!” Wei Shengjin spoke generously, “I’ll make sure you have fun today!”
Before Wei Shengjin could utter another word, Sheng Wentao jumped in, “Forget your lousy car—keep that to yourself!”
“Ye’s car has already been prepared by a long ti ago!”
Faced with Sheng Wentao’s rebuttal, Wei Shengjin didn’t get angry or retaliate. He rely smiled quietly.
White Rose watched Ye Xunhuan, Sheng Wentao, and Wei Shengjin with a thoughtful expression, her inner thoughts unclear.
“It seems Sheng and Wei are both here to entertain Mr. Ye today!” White Rose suddenly interjected, “In that case, let’s do this—Ye can use my Koenigsegg today!”
Upon hearing White Rose’s sudden offer, everyone froze, looking at her with disbelief.
Soone who had always avoided entanglents with these playboys was now getting involved. What was she thinking?
And who was this Ye Xunhuan, to make White Rose offer up her supercar—a Koenigsegg?
The Koenigsegg is a handmade, super high-performance luxury car manufacturer from Sweden. It’s said to reach speeds of 388 kiloters per hour!
What’s more, the Koenigsegg is a limited-edition coupe, and its production ceased long ago, making it priceless.
Even with money, you can’t buy one.
Yet, White Rose was willing to let such a car be used—and for Ye Xunhuan, no less. Was she crazy?
Did she not realize that in a lee, even the best race cars would likely end up close to scrap tal by the end of the competition?
Had White Rose lost her mind?
No!
She had no other choice—because that man was Ye Xunhuan, her forr master. Even though she had left him for years, she still didn’t dare to show him any disrespect!
Moreover, she was well aware of Ye Xunhuan’s driving skills and his prowess.
In her view, no other coupe but her Koenigsegg could provide this man the thrill he sought!
So even if it cost millions, she would still throw it all in.
For if this man wasn’t pleased, lives could be at stake.
