Chapter 730: Not Wanting to be Treated Like a Child

Half an hour later—the two of them stood outside the bar, looking at each other in dismay.

Then they met each other's eyes and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, sorry, I forgot, what bar opens in the morning? At the very least, you have to wait until the afternoon..."

Cai Xiaotang looked at the entire bar street, which was completely deserted, and not knowing what had tickled her funny bone, she laughed so hard she couldn't straighten her back.

Liu Qingze also found it somewhat amusing; after listening to her laugh for a long time, his gaze inadvertently swept toward his motorcycle, and he suddenly thought of something, taking the opportunity to suggest: "Why don't I take you for a ride?"

"A ride? You mean... that?"

Cai Xiaotang was stunned for a moment and looked at his motorcycle with some hesitation.

"Yeah, sister, are you scared?"

Liu Qingze patted his precious "ride."

Cai Xiaotang had come in her own car earlier, so she felt a bit hesitant upon hearing this, yet she couldn't help but feel eager to try.

Riding a motorcycle to go for a spin... it sounded like it might be quite exhilarating...

Just as she was thinking this, she immediately saw Liu Qingze pull another helmet out from nowhere as if by magic, and it was even a cute pink and white style!

"Have you decided?"

He asked while tossing the helmet directly to Cai Xiaotang.

Cai Xiaotang caught it smoothly, her eyes sweeping over the helmet thoughtfully, and she immediately teased with a smile: "I remember a certain kid telling me he hadn't dated before, so how could you have prepared a helmet that only little girls like? You wouldn't happen to have a girl you like and prepared this specifically for her, would you? If so, wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to wear it?"

"Cough..."

An unnatural expression instantly flashed across Liu Qingze's face, and he abruptly turned his head away.

Of course, he wouldn't prepare such a thing for no reason.

It was just that when he went to change parts for his motorcycle yesterday, he happened to see this helmet and bought it on a whim...

"Sister, are you going to wear it or not?"

Liu Qingze was silent for a long while before finally managing to squeeze out those four words.

Cai Xiaotang immediately knew when to stop; knowing that this "kid" had thin skin, she didn't continue to tease him and obediently put on the helmet.

Liu Qingze finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted the back seat of the motorcycle.

It was Cai Xiaotang's first time riding a motorcycle, and she sat on it stiffly, feeling quite nervous.

Liu Qingze put on his helmet, turned around to look at her, and said, "Sister, you..."

He almost blurted out the words "hold onto my waist," but realized it was inappropriate as the words reached his lips, so he hurriedly changed his phrasing: "You... grab onto my clothes."

"Oh, okay."

Cai Xiaotang followed his instructions and grabbed the hem of his jacket with both hands.

Liu Qingze then withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes for a second, and slammed the throttle.

"Whoa!"

Cai Xiaotang was caught off guard and slammed directly into his back, truly startled by the speed.

"Isn't this too fast!"

She shouted loudly, the wind whistling in her ears.

Liu Qingze curled his lips and replied just as loudly: "Don't you think it's exhilarating!"

"Exhilarating!"

Cai Xiaotang answered quickly; after the initial "shock," she had already adapted to the feeling at lightning speed.

The motorcycle disappeared around the corner at high speed, heading straight for the suburbs.

It was unknown how much time had passed before it finally stopped at a place that looked like a race track.

After taking such a ride with him, most of Cai Xiaotang's unhappiness had long since vanished.

She jumped off the bike and immediately walked toward the track.

"Is this where the races are held?"

She asked curiously.

"Yeah, there are occasional races at night. If you're interested, I can bring you to watch."

Liu Qingze replied, a flash of excitement in his eyes.

Cai Xiaotang was indeed very interested, and upon hearing this, she immediately answered: "Okay! Are you going to compete?"

"Of course."

Liu Qingze raised an eyebrow, his face full of the unbridled arrogance unique to his age.

Cai Xiaotang immediately followed up: "Then I can be your cheerleader! Come and cheer you on!"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly changed the subject and lowered her voice mysteriously: "Xin'ai doesn't know you come to places like this to race, right?"

"She doesn't."

Liu Qingze's face instantly fell, and he deliberately gave a "serious" warning: "So you can't tell my sister."

Cai Xiaotang laughed upon hearing this and patted Liu Qingze on the shoulder with a "mysterious" look.

"Tsk tsk tsk, seeing as you helped me today, I'll keep another secret for you. Now I know two of your secrets."

"What's so great about that? I know your secret too."

Liu Qingze said, then suddenly lowered his voice and whispered: "You got married without telling the people at the company..."

Cai Xiaotang gave him a sharp look upon hearing this: "I was under no obligation to inform them in the first place! Don't bring up such unpleasant things at a happy time like this!"

She remembered what Chen Jialin had said in the breakroom, and felt a bit stifled.

"Okay, my bad, I shouldn't have brought it up."

Liu Qingze immediately raised his hands in surrender and pointed to the track, asking: "Do you want to go there and let me take you for a couple of laps?"

"Sure."

Cai Xiaotang agreed immediately.

The two of them walked toward the racetrack together, staying at the racing circuit for the entire day, until at dusk, they finally returned to the bar where they had been "shut out" that morning.

"Whew... today was just too thrilling..."

Cai Xiaotang jumped off the motorcycle, practically falling in love with the feeling of speeding.

"So, do you feel better now? Do you still want to drink? Or should we just go home?"

Liu Qingze asked as he took off his helmet.

"Well, about that..."

Cai Xiaotang paused slightly, pondered for a moment, and then walked toward the bar's entrance without hesitation.

"Since we're already here! It's my day off anyway, so let's drink to our heart's content!"

As she spoke, she pushed the door open and walked inside.

Liu Qingze had no choice but to follow.

The two of them quickly found a spot in a corner and sat down.

Just as Liu Qingze was about to order, he saw Cai Xiaotang already pointing quickly at several items on the drink menu.

"Drinking this much?"

He looked at Cai Xiaotang with some disapproval.

Cai Xiaotang nodded with a straight face and teased, "That's right, it shows that your big sister trusts you. If I get drunk today, just trouble yourself to find a nearby hotel and toss me in."

Cai Xiaotang forced a smile at her, though her mood hadn't actually recovered much at all.

The disgusting face of that Manager Du, along with the words of Chen Jialin, kept flashing through her mind from time to time.

If she didn't drink a bit more today, she was afraid she would dream of those nauseating scenes!

It would be better to just get herself drunk and fall asleep!

Once she woke up tomorrow, she would forget it all!

A moment later—all the drinks Cai Xiaotang ordered were brought over.

She grabbed a bottle at random and poured herself a full glass.

Liu Qingze wanted to remind her to drink slowly, but he didn't expect that before he could even finish saying the word "you," Cai Xiaotang had already downed half the glass in one breath!

Liu Qingze's gaze froze, and he immediately drank half a glass himself; thinking of her words from earlier, he began to feel unhappy again.

Does she trust him that much?

He would rather she have some self-awareness as a woman in front of him...

Instead of treating him like a child.
