Chapter 1657: From Now On, There Is No Need to Take Risks

~7 min read 1,332 words

Xie Wanyi said as a matter of course, "Because I'm wearing my work uniform."

So, one cannot have personal feelings?

This logic of his made Jiang Motian want to... laugh.

But in order to go along with Xie Wanyi, Jiang Motian held back her laughter.

Then she feigned seriousness and said, "I'm here to find my brother; please tell him for me, and while you're at it, ask him to come down."

"But the boss isn't here."

Not here?

Oh, that's a bit tricky.

Seeing Jiang Motian's disappointed expression, Xie Wanyi asked, "Is there something you need the boss to do?"

"Yes, today is my mother's birthday, and I bought a very large cake; I wanted my brother to help me carry it home."

This news stirred Xie Wanyi's thoughts.

Ling Yu was also moved by the same thought.

Ling Yu, listening to the conversation through the earpiece, shouted noisily, "This is a great opportunity, hurry up and agree!"

Xie Wanyi had intended to volunteer himself anyway.

But this grating voice of Ling Yu...

It really makes one's mood irritable!

Xie Wanyi tried hard to shut out this noisy voice, then said calmly, "I'll help."

"Ah? But you're still at work."

"I'm not officially working today; I came here voluntarily to familiarize myself with the position, so I just need to let the team leader know."

After hearing this, a smile appeared on Jiang Motian's face.

She even commented, "You are so diligent! You're so excellent, I believe you'll be promoted soon!"

Xie Wanyi curled his lips, not responding.

After greeting his supervisor, Xie Wanyi changed into his own clothes and went to a cake shop with Jiang Motian.

As soon as they entered the cake shop, the owner said apologetically, "Our staff should have delivered it to you, but because an employee asked for leave, we are really short-handed."

"It's alright, I understand."

"Thank you so much for your understanding; here, have a small cake as a token of our gratitude."

Jiang Motian wanted to decline.

But after thinking about it, she turned to the side and said to Xie Wanyi, "You pick one."

"Me?"

Jiang Motian nodded and explained, "I had dental work done before, it was very miserable, and ever since then, I haven't been interested in desserts."

"Then you can give it to your family."

"They can eat this big one; you pick one."

Jiang Motian was very insistent, and after Xie Wanyi looked at her deeply, he chose a small chocolate cake.

The clerk began to pack it up.

Yet Jiang Motian felt... that look Xie Wanyi gave her just now was a bit strange.

But she was in a hurry to get the cake home, so she didn't think about it carefully.

The cake was very large, so to avoid damaging its appearance, Xie Wanyi drove very steadily.

Because it was too steady, the car behind them started honking.

The sound of the horn, one after another, made Jiang Motian frown.

She looked back and muttered, "Why are they honking? If they're in such a rush, they should just go around!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than the car behind them swerved into the lane to the left of Jiang Motian's car.

The driver even cursed at them: "Idiots, how are you driving... holy crap, what a beauty!"

As soon as the other party saw the indignant Jiang Motian, he couldn't help but exclaim.

The next second, the hot-tempered driver immediately put on a smile he thought was handsome but was actually quite greasy.

He flipped his bangs and invited, "Hey, beauty, let's add each other on WeChat."

Jiang Motian withdrew her gaze and ignored him.

The other party didn't give up and continued to smile: "The beauty is quite cold, then..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Jiang Motian's car window rolled up.

Seeing this, the man's friends teased him: "You always say you have boundless charm and that women can't walk away when they see you, and yet?"

The friends laughed and giggled.

The man was so angry his face changed color.

To save face and to show off in front of the beauty, the man hardened his heart and decided to cut off Xie Wanyi's car!

But just as he turned the steering wheel, the car beside him swerved smoothly like a nimble snake.

Then, with a step on the gas, it sped away into the distance!

The man who tried to hit on her was completely stunned.

A moment later, he muttered: "Holy crap, what kind of driving skill is that!"

"Are you stupid? Why aren't you chasing him?"

The man's face turned red and then white, and finally, he asked back fiercely: "Chase him? With that technique, do you think you could catch up?"

That... was true.

One of the man's friends muttered: "I usually participate in street racing, and even the first-place winner doesn't have that kind of technique; who exactly is that expert in the car?"

No matter what kind of expert they were.

In any case, they were an expert.

Yet he had actually insulted that person's woman...

The man who had tried to hit on her shivered; he hoped that expert hadn't seen his face clearly!

Xie Wanyi naturally hadn't seen his face clearly.

Because he couldn't be bothered to look.

At this moment, his car had already driven quite far away, and the car had returned to its previous steady state.

But Jiang Motian was still shaken.

She was dazed at the moment, thinking to herself, what... just happened?

How did it feel like she had flown up!?

Xie Wanyi turned his head to glance at her, and seeing Jiang Motian looking blank, he apologized: "Sorry, I scared you. But if I didn't shake off that trash, I was afraid the cake would get ruined."

Hearing this apology, Jiang Motian finally came back to her senses.

She hurriedly shook her head and said: "I'm fine, but you were just now... so amazing."

Jiang Motian knew how to drive as well.

If she had been in that situation just now, she definitely would have hit the brakes.

So how... did Xie Wanyi manage to do it?

Jiang Motian was very curious, so she asked: "How did you make that turn and that swerve to overtake them? And our car didn't even shake much!"

"It's nothing, just practice makes perfect."

"Then can you teach me in the future? That was so cool!"

Xie Wanyi had only attained such driving skills by risking his life.

Saying practice makes perfect was also correct.

But Jiang Motian lived a smooth life and had absolutely no need for such desperation.

Therefore, Xie Wanyi would not teach her.

But a blunt refusal would certainly have no effect.

Xie Wanyi thought for a moment and said: "Street racing is bad, don't learn from me. If you get caught, it counts as dangerous driving, and your driver's license won't be safe."

That was true, too.

Jiang Motian instantly abandoned the idea of learning.

But another question popped into her mind: "Then why do you know how?"

"If I didn't... I would have been unemployed."

Xie Wanyi spoke rather tactfully; he believed that Jiang Motian would certainly interpret his slightly suggestive words in another direction.

In reality, that was indeed the case; Jiang Motian assumed Xie Wanyi had once worked in a job like delivery.

His driving skills had been honed during that time.

Thinking of it this way, Jiang Motian completely lost the desire to learn.

She even began to feel sorry for Xie Wanyi and said: "Now, you don't need to take risks anymore."

Her gentle voice carried a sense of comfort.

Xie Wanyi only pressed his lips together and did not respond.

When the two of them stood at the gate of the Li Family, Xie Wanyi originally intended to deliver the cake and leave.

But Jiang Motian said very enthusiastically: "Since you're already here, let's attend my mother's birthday party together."
