The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 453 - 453 438 Run Two Laps

453: Chapter 438: Run Two Laps 453: Chapter 438: Run Two Laps Li Hao was taken aback and said, “Shouldn’t we bring her along with so many people?

What if something happens?”

“Don’t worry, didn’t I have fun drifting with Li Ruo before?” Ye Chen grinned.

“Alright, you see to it, I need your help to win the race!” Li Hao chuckled upon hearing this, then asked, “Oh right, Ye Chen, where is your girlfriend Li Ruo?”

Li Ruozhi said this solely to remind Gongsun Yue that Ye Chen already had a girlfriend.

“She’s in Jianghuai City, I’ve been in Hong Kong for a month and haven’t contacted her for a while!” Ye Chen smiled lightly.

Gongsun Yue, standing by, perked up her ears and chuckled, “Ye Chen, your girlfriend must be very beautiful, right?”

“Of course!” Li Hao hurriedly leaned forward, saying, “Li Ruo is the dream of countless men in Jianghuai City.

I remember Young Master Wei liking her a lot, who knows how he’s doing now, should invite him to Hong Kong to run a few laps!”

“Hehe, there will be a chance!” Ye Chen laughed, “Young Master Wei is now fully engaged with his club.

It’s said he’s about to participate in the national car championship and will soon qualify for the world competition, aiming for a super driver’s license.”

“Wow, this kid is starting to exert some force, huh?” Li Hao exclaimed with joy, “I’m also working hard, aiming for the world rally championship.

Planning to get a super driver’s license too!”

“Go for it!” Ye Chen patted Li Hao’s shoulder.

“Right!” Li Hao nodded hurriedly then turned to leave, shouting as he walked away, “Ye Chen, remember to come tonight!”

“Don’t worry!” Ye Chen waved his hand.

Gongsun Yue kept pestering Ye Chen along the way, just trying to delve into some of his past stories, like those about Li Ruo.

Of course, Ye Chen remained evasive throughout.

Regarding Li Ruo, Ye Chen didn’t want to say too much; however, he emphasized repeatedly that Li Ruo was the woman he loved the most.

This made Gongsun Yue quite angry.

But anger aside, Gongsun Yue kept reminding herself that even if Li Ruo was beautiful, she definitely couldn’t be as beautiful as herself.

Thus, Gongsun Yue comforted herself in full spirit.

That evening at 7, Tai Ping Shan.

Tai Ping Shan is a very famous mountain in Hong Kong, locally referred to as Tai Ping Shan.

It is said that during the reign of Emperor Jiaqing, when pirate Cheung Po Tsai established a base on the island, he used the peak as a lookout to spot passing merchant ships.

He would signal his troops below to intercept, earning the mountain its illustrious name.

In Tai Ping Shan, most of Hong Kong’s wealthy congregate.

The Gongsun Family’s home is not far from Tai Ping Shan, and Li Hao’s house is right at the top of Tai Ping Shan, giving him an advantage.

Tai Ping Shan is not only a tourist spot but also a prime location for racing.

During the day, it belongs to sightseeing tourists.

Once night falls, the entire mountain is immediately blocked by ‘little brothers’, gathering racers from many places.

Ye Chen drove Gongsun Yue’s Maserati to the scene, with Gongsun Yue repeatedly requesting Ye Chen to drive her sports car.

Initially, Ye Chen refused, wanting to drive Li Hao’s car for the race, as Gongsun Yue’s car was not high in performance—it was merely aesthetically pleasing.

A true sports car seeks not only appearance but critical engine performance.

In respect of Gongsun Yue’s wishes, Ye Chen could only drive this almost limo-like car to Tai Ping Shan.

The ‘little brothers’ at the base of the mountain saw Ye Chen arriving, immediately checked with Li Hao at the top, got his instructions, and cleared the way, lifting the bar and letting Ye Chen through.

The Maserati sped towards the summit.

Its performance revealed all when the car took on the mountain roads.

“See that, your car has some minor issues!” Ye Chen shrugged and said, “Look, I’ve floored the accelerator and this is all the speed it’s got.

How am I supposed to race against others?”

“Hmph, you just don’t like my car,” Gongsun Yue snorted softly but did not continue to argue.

However, she self-admitted her sports car was indeed cheap, costing just a few hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars.

Although cars are cheaper in Hong Kong, a sports car at this price really isn’t much.

Thus, Gongsun Yue internally decided she would one day buy the best sports car and see how he would criticize it then.

Soon, they reached the summit, which was already crowded with many people.

Men and women alike, far more than at Xiangming Mountain.

The nightlife in Hong Kong is indeed rich, so many people followed up the mountain to watch the races, mostly youngsters, almost none older.

Some born after 1990 were mainstream, with hair dyed in bright red, yellow, blue, green—various glaring colors.

Smoky makeup, tearful makeup… all sorts of sensational makeup techniques shocked Ye Chen to the core.

Although Ye Chen was worldly, facing such a group of oddly dressed men and women was somewhat unacceptable.

Perhaps, this was the culture of those born after 1990.

For someone like Ye Chen from the 1980s, there was some disconnect.

“Ye Chen, you’re here!” Li Hao laughed heartily.

“Yep!” Ye Chen nodded and asked, “How are things?”

“Oh, the opponent has also just arrived.

I must tell you that he’s an international professional race car driver, and his car is a modified one.

Although it might not match the performance of a Formula One car, its power is substantial.

You need to be careful!” Li Hao grinned broadly.

“If I had a decent performing car, I think it’d be no problem!” Ye Chen shrugged.

“Hehe, I knew you’d say that!” Li Hao grinned again, and then, grabbing Ye Chen’s arm, he said, “Come with me, I’ve got a killer machine to show you!”

Gongsun Yue quickly followed them.

The three walked toward a building at the mountaintop.

As they neared the building, Li Hao pressed a button on his key, causing the roller door to automatically open.

Inside, there stood a sleek black sports car, and under the lighting, Ye Chen clearly saw a huge ‘T’ emblem on the front.

This was a special structure car, usually modified post-manufacture, even sometimes with an entirely replaced engine.

“Modified?” Ye Chen asked curiously.

From the front, the car indeed looked imposing, the front end looking like a wolf ready to pounce.

The car’s front was stable and grand.

The model had perfect aerodynamics.

With ninety-degree doors and a rear wing, with four exhaust pipes, the car’s displacement was evidently immense.

“Hehe, don’t worry, the car’s performance has been tested!” Li Hao grinned.

He handed the keys to Ye Chen and said, “Give it a try, see how it feels!”

“Alright!” Ye Chen took the keys.

Gongsun Yue eagerly followed them.

The sports car had only two seats, driver and passenger.

Both seats were comfortably spacious and well-fitted.

Once inside, the seat adjustments were electronic, with temperature control and an adjustable steering wheel.

The console was also impressive.

Of course, these were all secondary; the car’s performance was what mattered most.

Ye Chen inserted the key and turned on the ignition.

The car’s body trembled noticeably.

Ye Chen frowned—the car’s start-up tremble already suggested that its engine was incredibly powerful.

Another reason could be that the car was still in its break-in period.

But that didn’t bother him much, as long as the power and drivability were strong.

Ye Chen switched the clutch and lightly tapped the accelerator; the engine immediately roared, and the RPM gauge surged past five thousand in an instant.

Ye Chen smiled.

Gongsun Yue swallowed hard, saying, “Ye Chen, I feel like this isn’t any ordinary car—it feels like we’re on a plane!”

While speaking, Gongsun Yue hurriedly buckled up.

Seat belts were life-saving devices.

With them fastened, the survival rate in car accidents could increase by fifty percent.

“Hehe, because this is indeed a ground plane!” Ye Chen revealed a sly smile.

Coordinating his feet, he alternated between the gas and the clutch, and in an instant, the car shot out like an arrow released from a bow, thick blue flames pouring from the four exhaust pipes.

“Ah!” Gongsun Yue screamed.

As the car dashed forward, the overwhelming force felt nearly suffocating.

It felt as though, in that moment, her soul and body had separated.

Gongsun Yue immediately closed her eyes, hands tightly gripping the handles on the car door.

Ye Chen’s eyes gleamed with sharpness; he dashed forward rapidly.

Along the road to the top of Tai Ping Shan, people turned their heads at a loud noise, only to see a black sports car speeding past, making way for it instantly.

The car then swung beautifully on the platform, tracing a perfect arc before coming to a steady halt on the starting line.

Gongsun Yue screamed again.

When the car stopped, she finally felt a bit of safety.

“Hehe, want to get out?” Ye Chen asked with a grin.

“Jerk, you did that on purpose!” Gongsun Yue looked at Ye Chen angrily, pinching him hard on his soft flesh.

At that moment, there was a knock on the window.

Ye Chen rolled down the window, and Li Hao looked at him with a smile, saying, “Drive well, make us Hong Kong people proud.

Although you’re an outsider I brought in, they are professional racers.

If they lose, let them eat shit!”

“Ha ha!” Ye Chen laughed heartily.
