Chapter 196: A Critical Assignment

As Xiao Yufan stepped out of the exhibition center, he couldn’t help but release a long sigh. The three young women’s obsession with cars had reached an almost fanatical level. After wandering through the auto show for the entire morning, he finally understood what true suffering felt like.

Apart from the Lamborghini K5 series bat-wing sports car, both Yu Yihan and Qin Menglu had chosen their dream cars. However, only Qin Menglu’s Ferrari F6 had been driven out, while the others remained on display at the exhibition center.

“Honey, I love you to death…”

Looking at the purple Ferrari in front of her, Qin Menglu directly threw herself into Xiao Yufan’s arms, her pink-glossy lips leaving a heavy kiss on his cheek.

“While I don’t mind continuing like this, you should consider others’ feelings too—we’re being watched!”

The physical contact stirred Xiao Yufan’s emotions, and as his body reacted, he could only awkwardly swallow hard. Such a seductive temptation was indeed a torment for him.

As if realizing the burning gazes from the crowd, Qin Menglu blushed and quickly stepped back, positioning herself between Tianxuan and Yu Yihan. She then cast a charming glance at Xiao Yufan, who remained completely unfazed.

“Can I drive today…?”

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Menglu’s beautiful eyes turned back to Xiao Yufan, her gaze now subtly filled with expectation. However, Xiao Yufan sensed that this sudden change in her behavior surely meant trouble.

“Do you even know how to drive?”

“Not really. But you’re here, aren’t you? Since I don’t know how to drive, you can guide me, right, Yufan?”

Xiao Yufan nearly fainted. So this little troublemaker didn’t even know how to drive! If she really took the wheel, she’d definitely become a deadly menace on the road.

“Don’t ask me about this. If these two are willing to ride with you, I have no objections!”

Xiao Yufan had no choice but to pass this hot potato to Yu Yihan and Tianxuan. He simply couldn’t endure Qin Menglu’s pitiful pleading gaze any longer. The petite girl, already naturally delicate, now exuded even more allure.

“Cousin, Tianxuan, just this once, okay? I know you two are the best, unlike someone who’s completely heartless…”

Innocently shifting her gaze to Yu Yihan and Tianxuan, Qin Menglu smiled sweetly. Combined with her angelic beauty, even the usually “strict and impartial” Yu Yihan softened slightly.

“Let Menglu try. Since she’s already bought the car, she should at least give it a shot…”

Yu Yihan gently tapped Qin Menglu’s forehead, not outright refusing her request. Tianxuan also nodded in agreement. It was evident that the bond among the three girls was gradually deepening.

“You two are actually willing to ride with her?” Xiao Yufan was speechless again, unsure whether these two girls were overly trusting or simply too bold.

“What do you mean? I just want to try, and nothing bad will happen…”

“Alright, alright, my mistake. Since our two young ladies don’t mind, I guess I’ll have to accept this dangerous mission!”

Seeing the smug curve on Qin Menglu’s lips, Xiao Yufan could only helplessly shrug his shoulders. After all, he couldn’t possibly crush her enthusiasm. With him around, there probably wouldn’t be any serious accidents.

Her face flushed with excitement, Qin Menglu immediately hopped into the driver’s seat. Although she had never driven a car before, she surprisingly started it up as if she’d done it countless times.

Sitting in the front passenger seat, Xiao Yufan silently watched Qin Menglu’s every move. This little troublemaker really knew how to test one’s patience. Despite starting the car, the vehicle hadn’t budged an inch for quite some time.

“Miss, are you ever going to press the gas instead of the brake?”

Unable to watch any longer, Xiao Yufan finally spoke up. Yu Yihan and Tianxuan couldn’t hold back their laughter any longer. The two girls’ personalities really complemented each other well.

“That’s my choice. Why didn’t you remind me earlier?”

Stomping hard on the accelerator, Qin Menglu replied angrily. The sudden movement caused the car to shoot forward at an incredible speed. After all, this was a Ferrari renowned for its performance, and its instantaneous acceleration was terrifying.

“Driving is actually this exciting!” The car was finally steered back under control by Xiao Yufan, preventing any mishap. Yet, this carefree girl actually blurted out such a shocking statement.

“Focus on driving. If you get distracted again, this car will be confiscated until you learn how to drive properly…”

If he spoiled this girl, who knew what kind of trouble she might cause. Therefore, Xiao Yufan timely reprimanded her.

“Don’t be angry. I’ll drive carefully, okay?” As soon as Xiao Yufan finished speaking, Qin Menglu obediently nodded. She understood this was his way of caring for her.

From then on, Qin Menglu truly demonstrated the meaning of “reckless driving.” Within just a few minutes, three police cars were chasing right behind the Ferrari.

“Grandpa, um, we’ve run into a little trouble on the road. Could you help us out?”

With no other choice, Xiao Yufan could only call Grandpa Situ, reluctantly explaining the entire situation. If this scenario continued unchecked, no one could predict what might happen.

“I’ll inform the police department. However, when you have time, remember to bring those lovely young ladies over for a visit…”

Grandpa Situ didn’t ask many questions, merely making a suggestion. He actually knew all about Xiao Yufan’s affairs. He was quite satisfied with his grandson, especially regarding the women around him—none of them were mere decorations.

“I’ll bring them over to visit you when I have time. But now, I need to deal with this immediate problem!”

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yufan exhaled in relief as he watched the police cars disappear in the rearview mirror. Glancing at the sweat-drenched Qin Menglu, he could only shake his head with a smile while continuing to guide her driving…

The entire journey was filled with screams, yet fortunately, nothing serious happened. Although Tianxuan and Yu Yihan claimed to be unfazed, they were visibly tense. If not for maintaining their composure, they probably would have screamed just like Qin Menglu!

“Feeling satisfied now? Disappointed that you didn’t attract even more police cars?”

The car came to a steady stop, and Xiao Yufan watched as Qin Menglu glanced at the rear of the car, his lips twitching slightly. Could this girl actually be hoping for a police chase? What unsettled him most was that Qin Menglu solemnly nodded in agreement…
