Chapter 38: The Ferocious Beast is Released!

Upon hearing those words—

Lu Xiao almost didn't even think before responding, "You drive yours, I'll drive mine."

Wen Xian: "..."

Lu Xiao turned and walked towards his Jeep.

She stared straight at his retreating figure, the corners of her lips curling slightly. He was afraid to share a car with her now, wasn't he…?

She had merely asked casually, after all he was busy with work, and he had many places to go; having only one car probably wasn't convenient.

None of that mattered, though, because no matter what, he couldn't escape from the palm of her hand…!

＊＊

Wen Xian got into her Mercedes. The sky was fully lit by now, the sun scorching; she pulled down the sun visor and put on some sunglasses.

Having not touched her car for almost a week, she felt an irrepressible restlessness as soon as her hands were on the steering wheel.

Her beast of a car had been waiting for too long…!!!

As a seasoned driver with many years of experience, she had had enough of city traffic. When she could run wild through Tibet, she felt as though her soul was about to joyously leap out of her body.

That fucking feeling—that was freedom—!

As she loosened her neck, she took another glance at him through the rearview mirror.

Lu Xiao had gotten in his car as well and started the engine.

A smile that wasn't quite a smile played upon Wen Xian's lips.

The road construction outside the jurisdiction wasn't very good, and the strong winds had covered it with a layer of crushed stone and sand.

With the start of Wen Xian's car, her foot slammed down on the gas pedal, and the engine roared. The tires flung up sand—!

The next second, the Mercedes G-Wagon, like a fierce beast, suddenly sprang forward—!

The wind outside grew stronger, whistling into the cabin, causing her hair to billow.

Passing through the two wrought-iron gates on this side of the jurisdiction, the poplar forest of the vast Gobi Desert suddenly came into view.

In the distance, the snow-capped mountains stretched on, undulating in waves.

After a week, Wen Xian was once again immersed in the solitude of the desolate Gobi.

Compared to the bustling cities, this place seemed surrealistic, like a mirage. Only the fierce gales howling like wild beasts could choke her back to reality.

Then, after she had been driving ahead for about seven or eight minutes, a car gradually appeared in the rearview mirror—!

It was Lu Xiao's car.

On the tarred road under the scorching sun, it seemed like the temperature was starting to rise.

Watching him catch up, she couldn't see the expression in her eyes behind the sunglasses; only her lips were visible, curving up bit by bit.

A faint, indescribable provocation.

Pressing down on the accelerator, her speed increased from 120 to 140, and then to 160…!

On the empty long stretch of road, her car raced along, and the scenery flew by on both sides like colorful curtains of a movie, gone in a flash.

She left behind groups of yaks, a few solitary wolves, and Tibetan foxes far in the distance.

Lu Xiao watched from afar as the car's speed kept increasing, obviously going over the speed limit.

His long, narrow eyes slightly squinted, his hands gripped the steering wheel tighter, his foot pressed the gas pedal to the floor—!

The fierce wind slammed against the windows, mixed with grit as if ghosts were wailing and wolves howling.

Lu Xiao, with a background in the special forces, had an excellent grasp of the vehicle's capabilities, and as his car was modified, it didn't take long for him to catch up—!

Wen Xian saw him catching up and turned to look.

The car window was slightly open, letting in a draft that made her hair fly wild. She wore sunglasses, exposing only half of her fair, palm-sized face. When she looked at Lu Xiao, her red lips curled up provocatively.

That vivid, almost sharp smile under the blazing sun was like a fiery, resplendent rose, vehemently crashing into the depths of his eyes—!

[Brother Nine: Ahhhhh!!! I too want to race on the highway!]
