Chapter 177: Chapter 176: The Feeling of a King’s Return

Su Mu didn’t realize how much of a sensation his casual driving had caused.

If those people chatting earlier knew that the owner of the black Ferrari 812 they saw in the morning and the owner of the blue Ferrari before them were the same person.

Imagine how many more topics would be sparked by that realization.

Feeling that it was about time to wrap up his joyride, Su Mu made a U-turn at the traffic light ahead and headed toward the direction of the castle.

Needless to say, the head-turning rate of the blue Ferrari was naturally unquestionable.

Anyhow, Su Mu didn’t have the time to notice these things, let alone the inclination to waste time paying attention to them.

When he reached the mountain road by the seaside of Huadong City, Su Mu felt a sense of a king returning to his domain.

Because there weren’t many vehicles coming and going here, and even fewer at this time of day.

Su Mu felt as if this avenue was created just for himself.

He could drive however he wanted without worrying about speed limits or whether there might be traffic police "ambushing" at any junction.

Stepping harder on the accelerator, the blue Ferrari suddenly picked up a lot more speed.

Previously at ease, Su Mu spotted from afar that someone seemed to be waving at him by the roadside.

On closer inspection, Su Mu realized it was actually He Qiya.

He hadn’t informed He Qiya to come for a driving practice, had he?

Originally, Su Mu hadn’t planned to invite He Qiya along when he was driving.

It felt a bit too deliberate to him.

Su Mu had only said they could come along if they happened to meet.

But what were the odds of that? Given that Su Mu didn’t have fixed driving times, how could he have coincidentally run into He Qiya again?

The only explanation was that He Qiya had been waiting here all along.

Su Mu noticed that this time He Qiya was different.

She didn’t recklessly rush towards his car upon seeing it, like she had the first two times.

Nor did she follow immediately, as she did at the beginning.

This time, He Qiya was not inside a car but was waiting beside her red Ferrari 599.

And judging from her demeanor, she seemed to have something to say to him.

Su Mu thought that this He Qiya was quite something.

He had changed to a different car, yet how could she recognize him so accurately?

Truth be told, He Qiya was not entirely sure it was Su Mu when she first saw the blue Ferrari.

She just remembered Su Mu’s fondness for the Ferrari 812 and thought that, with Su Mu’s wealth, buying another 812 would be no big deal.

Therefore, when the blue Ferrari appeared in He Qiya’s sight, she kept trying to confirm whether it was indeed Su Mu driving the car.

Of course, Su Mu’s appearance had long been etched in He Qiya’s mind.

Naturally, when the blue Ferrari neared and she could make out the driver’s face, He Qiya recognized Su Mu instantly.

Seeing that it was indeed Su Mu, He Qiya excitedly waved her arms.

All He Qiya hoped for now was that Su Mu would see her and not just drive past.

Given the speed at which Su Mu was driving, He Qiya wasn’t sure whether he would notice her by the roadside.

He Qiya felt that if she got in her car now, she might not be able to keep up with Su Mu’s speed.

Better to wave from the roadside, just in case Su Mu noticed her.

Su Mu initially wanted to step on the gas and drive straight past He Qiya.

Su Mu found, his chances of running into He Qiya were rather high now.

There was no other explanation; it could only be that He Qiya had been waiting for him all along.

Su Mu thought that He Qiya’s persistence was quite remarkable.

Not to mention a girl, even among boys, not everyone could be as steadfastly dedicated to a task as He Qiya was.

Su Mu’s foot had already pressed down, and the car speed had increased.

He Qiya must have noticed the blue Ferrari’s sudden acceleration as well.

Could it be that Su Mu didn’t want to deal with her?

He Qiya somewhat disheartenedly lowered her high-raised hand.

Originally, at last night’s Su Family Group banquet, Su Mu took the initiative to speak with He Qiya.

It had given He Qiya a glimmer of hope.

He Qiya felt that Su Mu probably didn’t dislike her that much.

In fact, tomorrow is He Qiya’s Gregorian calendar birthday.

The birthday banquet held last time at the He family villa was arranged by Huang Yuqin according to her daughter’s lunar birthday.

He Qiya had always believed that her real birthday was the Gregorian date.

At that time, He Qiya didn’t care much about anything, so she hadn’t minded these little details.

After going back last night, just thinking that tomorrow would be her real eighteenth birthday,

He Qiya suddenly wanted to invite Su Mu to spend such an important day with her.

He Qiya had psyched herself up at home for half the day to muster the courage to appear on this mountain road.

He Qiya told herself that if she could wait for Su Mu today, it would mean that there was still some fate between them.

Of course, if He Qiya couldn’t wait for Su Mu today, she wouldn’t bring up the matter of her birthday tomorrow ever again.

Everything would be as if it never happened.

So, when she first saw Su Mu, her excitement was understandable.

Now, seeing Su Mu suddenly speed up, He Qiya thought this might be a sign of his dislike for her.

Not wanting to insist on anything anymore, He Qiya just stood there blankly, watching the blue Ferrari approaching.

He Qiya felt that simply watching was quite nice.

After the blue Ferrari passed by, He Qiya thought she should give up.

Su Mu also noticed He Qiya’s lowered hand.

Thinking of his mother’s words, Su Mu lifted his right foot from the accelerator and moved it to the brake instead.

He stepped down.

Su Mu remembered that just yesterday he had agreed with his mother to treat He Qiya as a sister and help her integrate into the social circle quickly.

Moreover, thinking about He Qiya’s situation, Su Mu felt it was quite a pity.

If he were to treat He Qiya like air now, Su Mu would feel somewhat reluctant.

"Screech..."

The sound from the sudden braking was very sharp.

But all of this was of no consequence to He Qiya.

Watching the blue Ferrari that had stopped abruptly beside her, He Qiya didn’t react at first.

Hadn’t Su Mu just accelerated?

He Qiya had even been prepared to watch the blue Ferrari drive past her.

Why had it suddenly stopped?

Could it be that Su Mu hadn’t seen her at first?

And that after noticing her he had braked suddenly?

All kinds of questions popped into He Qiya’s mind, but none had an answer.

Of course, those answers were unimportant to He Qiya at this point.

Su Mu had already stopped the car, and He Qiya didn’t have time to find answers to those questions anymore.

Su Mu rolled down the car window but didn’t get out.

After glancing at He Qiya, Su Mu waited for this persistent young lady to speak.
