Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?

Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Be My Partner

He Qiya must have left the house as soon as she put down her phone.

Indeed, she arrived almost immediately.

Within minutes, Su Mu saw a red Ferrari appear in the rearview mirror.

As it neared Su Mu’s 812, the red Ferrari deliberately flashed its headlights several times.

Signaling to Su Mu that she was following.

Su Mu curled his lips into a smile, realizing that He Qiya’s passion for driving was no small matter.

Compared to himself, a man, she was more than a match.

Su Mu hadn’t turned off the engine, so he stepped on the gas and sped up.

The red Ferrari kept up.

The black and red Ferraris maintained side-by-side formation.

At the intersection where both were accustomed to turning around, the two Ferraris still matched each other’s speed.

They turned around and headed up the mountain.

This time, the red Ferrari didn’t make a turn back to its own path.

Instead, it gestured to Su Mu to stop.

He Qiya’s Ferrari pulled over to the side of the road first.

Su Mu didn’t know what He Qiya wanted.

But since his fellow car enthusiast had signaled, Su Mu naturally stopped his car in cooperation.

Because of Su Mu’s exceptional driving skills, he stopped his car almost simultaneously with receiving He Qiya’s signal.

Consequently, the black and red Ferraris were parked one behind the other with virtually no distance between them.

He Qiya, seeing that Su Mu had received her signal and stopped, got out of the Ferrari 599.

Su Mu lowered his window, waiting for He Qiya to state the reason she had him stop.

"Su Mu, do you play tennis?"

"A little."

Su Mu didn’t know why He Qiya would suddenly ask this question, so he answered truthfully.

His tennis skills were acquired at school and could only be described as average.

Thus, Su Mu’s response was ’a little.’

Meaning, he wasn’t very skilled at it.

"I arranged to play mixed doubles with a friend today, but my partner can’t make it because something came up. Could you help out and be my partner?"

As if afraid Su Mu would refuse, He Qiya immediately added another line.

"I’ve just returned to the country and I don’t have many friends here yet. You’re the only friend I have now."

Su Mu didn’t expect the Ice Mountain Beauty to have a pitiful side.

It was somewhat surprising, to say the least.

"Alright then, send me the time and address, and I’ll make my way there."

Out of respect for his mother, Su Mu agreed to He Qiya’s request.

"Thank you."

Su Mu waved his hand, uninterested in He Qiya’s thanks.

Su Mu himself hadn’t exercised in a while, and given that He Qiya’s family had a longstanding relationship with his own, he gave her some face.

"Vroom..."

Without another word, Su Mu’s Ferrari sped off.

Although Su Mu’s demeanor wasn’t warm, he had at least agreed to her request.

He Qiya took out her phone and sent the tennis court’s address and the agreed time to Su Mu.

The time for their tennis appointment was close at hand.

He Qiya drove straight home, changed into sportswear, and left again.

Since Su Mu said he would go on his own, there was no need for He Qiya to wait for him.

He Qiya figured Su Mu was the type who didn’t like others clinging to him.

It could only be said that He Qiya’s understanding of men wasn’t precise.

Or perhaps, for an Ice Mountain Beauty like He Qiya, men generally kept their distance.

Su Mu naturally saw the message He Qiya had sent him.

Looking at the time, he realized there was only a little over half an hour left until their tennis match.

Su Mu didn’t understand what He Qiya was thinking.

If he hadn’t been driving today, or had he not agreed to He Qiya’s request,

would He Qiya have been prepared to go play mixed doubles alone?

Su Mu didn’t understand why someone as cold as He Qiya didn’t even have a single friend?

He didn’t grow up abroad from a young age.

At least He Qiya should have had friends before she went abroad, right?

As for questions that couldn’t be explained with ordinary people’s ways of thinking, Su Mu had no interest in investigating.

It had been a long time since he touched a tennis ball, so today would be a good opportunity to loosen up.

After changing into sportswear, Su Mu took his phone and walked straight out of the room.

Pagani was already parked in the castle’s courtyard.

As soon as Su Mu came out, Xiao Wang immediately got out of the car and opened the rear door for him.

He told Xiao Wang the address He Qiya had sent him.

Pagani drove out of the castle.

"Su Mu, over here."

At the entrance of the sports hall

As soon as Su Mu got out of the car, He Qiya, who had been waiting there, waved at him.

Su Mu walked towards He Qiya.

He Qiya must be a regular here.

She led Su Mu through the familiar corridors to the tennis hall’s floor.

After getting a tennis outfit at the service desk, He Qiya handed a set to Su Mu.

"Let’s go in."

Since Su Mu and He Qiya were both already wearing sports attire, there was no need for the hassle of changing clothes.

Once inside the tennis court, Su Mu didn’t see the person He Qiya mentioned she had arranged to play tennis with.

"Has your opponent not arrived yet?"

Su Mu took a racket out of his tennis bag and swung it casually.

He was still able to find that bit of feeling.

"Su Mu, I actually wanted to have a tennis match with you."

"I’m considered a semi-professional tennis player."

"Even though I haven’t participated in professional tournaments, I’ve had specialized training."

Unexpectedly, He Qiya made no attempt to disguise her true intent.

Interesting!

Su Mu looked at He Qiya with amusement.

The spirited Ice Mountain Beauty hadn’t changed a bit.

Su Mu knew that He Qiya probably couldn’t outdo him in terms of driving skills.

She must be holding back some frustration and wanted to regain a little confidence through tennis, right?

No wonder He Qiya had asked if he could play tennis.

She had been waiting here for him.

However, Su Mu felt that if He Qiya really thought she could beat him on the court, she was being a bit too naive.

"Su Mu, do you dare to have a match with me?"

He Qiya knew she was playing a bit of a trick.

It was hardly fair to challenge someone who simply knew how to play tennis with a professional level of skill.

But He Qiya didn’t understand why she felt this way.

All He Qiya wanted now was to prove herself in front of Su Mu.

He Qiya wanted Su Mu to see her strengths.

"Sure, let’s have a match. But don’t get too excited just yet, you might be the one to lose," Su Mu said with a shrug, accepting He Qiya’s challenge with ease.

Just a semi-professional tennis player, right?

Su Mu was confident that even if a professional tennis player stood before him,

he would dare to accept their challenge.

After all, didn’t he possess a secret weapon?

"Checked in at the tennis court!"

"Ding! Tennis court check-in successful, ’Champion Tennis Skill’ reward obtained!"

No sooner had the system’s voice faded than Su Mu’s mind was flooded with various tennis-related knowledge.

And all those professional tennis techniques.

Accompanied by the professional skills in his mind, Su Mu’s hands and feet began to tremble rapidly yet imperceptibly.

A few minutes later, it was all over.

Su Mu swung his tennis racket.

"Let’s start."
