Lu Mello knew how good s.h.i.+ Enxi"s lying skills were. There were times where he couldn"t see through it but at that moment, as he looked into her eyes, he wanted to believe her.
He sighed in defeat, resting his forehead against her forehead. He closed his eyes and hugged her close. He was so afraid to lose her even after the betrayal she did in their past life. He couldn"t bring himself to hate her ever since he started loving her.
"Alright. I"ll trust you with that."
Lu Mello"s warm hug reached s.h.i.+ Enxi"s heart. For some reason, being in his arm didn"t seem so bad. If only she could make him truly fall for her, wouldn"t that be so nice?
If he fell for her then wouldn"t it be a win-win situation for her?
She peeked at the silver car behind him and smiled. This young rich man hugging her has such an expensive car. How many cars does he have?
Ah... Her gold digger heart was getting in her head again. Should she hold back a bit? What if Lu Mello gets turned off by her? What if he decided to fall for someone else with a kind heart like Fan Xiao Yao? Or what if he suddenly wants to go back to Fan Xiao Yao?
Lu Mello noticed how s.h.i.+ Enxi was staring at his car with deep thoughts.
He pulled away from her, releasing her from his hug. "Don"t tell me... You only went down to see me because of my car?"
She snapped out from her thoughts and turned her head back to him. She shook her head, denying, "What? No way! I came here to see you!"
He crossed his arms, raising a brow. He could clearly see how much her eyes sparkled whenever expensive things were placed before her. "You don"t have to lie."
He lightly pinched her cheek, "I know how much of a gold digger my wife is now."
She pouted, "Who wouldn"t be attracted to this million dollars car?"
"Here." He pulled out the car keys from his pocket. "Want to try it?"
Try it? He wanted her to drive it? At this late at night?
"Seriously?!" She squealed happily. She hugged him again before she leaned back and grabbed the keys from him, her eyes sparkling in delight.
"Look at our baby!" She rushed to the car and carefully touched it. "Our baby is so beautiful!"
Lu Mello couldn"t help but chuckle lightly, pleased when she mentioned "our baby" instead of owning it to herself and using "my".
"Darling! Hurry up! Get in or else I"ll drive without you!" s.h.i.+ Enxi was now in the driver"s seat, waiting for him to get in.
Lu Mello went in the shotgun seat and put on his seatbelts. When he looked at her, her cleavage was distracting him. "Why don"t you b.u.t.ton your s.h.i.+rt first?"
She blinked a lot and looked down at her cleavage. She snickered, "Why? There"s no one around here except for you."
She unb.u.t.toned another one, exposing a part of her black bra. "There. Isn"t this better?"
He ma.s.saged the bridge of his nose. Can"t she hold back and act embarra.s.sed about it like how she reacted earlier?
s.h.i.+ Enxi turned and started the car.
As she drove it to the streets, she headed to the highway so that she could test the car"s full potential.
At first, Lu Mello didn"t have a problem with s.h.i.+ Enxi"s driving skills. She was going steady but the moment they reached the highway, in a blink of an eye, she s.h.i.+fted the gear and the car increased its speed into 180 until reaching 200s mph.
"X-Xi"er, you should slow down!"
"Slow down? Our baby won"t like it if we slow down." She replied calmly with a sweet smile on her lips.
"..." Was he going to die tonight? If he only knew that this was going to happen, he would have not given her the car"s keys! If it was him driving, then he didn"t mind driving at such speed but he didn"t know how well s.h.i.+ Enxi could drive.
s.h.i.+ Enxi drifted the car perfectly in every u-turn, she even evaded other cars even if she was driving it in its maximum speed.
By the time they got back, Lu Mello felt his spirit leaving his body.
