Chapter 752: Liu Qingze's Straightforward Confession

Cai Xiaotang looked completely at a loss.

Liu Qingze, however, laughed out loud, showing her no face at all.

"Sister, you've lost your ability to speak?"

He looked at Cai Xiaotang with a hint of teasing, wearing an expression that clearly said, "As long as I'm not embarrassed, the one who is embarrassed is someone else."

Cai Xiaotang finally came back to her senses, shot him an annoyed look, and the thoughts she had been struggling with all day became active again.

Should she find an opportunity to talk to him?

Regarding yesterday's events, just hiding away wouldn't solve anything...

She took a deep breath, suddenly thought of something, and tried to act as if nothing was wrong as she said, "The gift I bought for you has arrived. Shall we... find a place to talk?"

"What gift?"

Liu Qingze raised an eyebrow, his expression full of anticipation.

"Wait for me a moment."

Cai Xiaotang casually pressed her car key and pulled open her car door.

The box containing the helmet was sitting right on her passenger seat.

Feeling a bit glad that she had brought the helmet out when she left this morning, Cai Xiaotang sighed inwardly before turning around with the gift in her arms.

"A helmet?"

Liu Qingze glanced at the logo on the box and knew what was inside, feeling quite surprised.

"Yes, see if you like it."

Cai Xiaotang handed the item in her hands into his arms, her mood very different from when she had first bought the gift.

Liu Qingze lowered his eyes to take a look, his lips curling slightly: "You even specifically chose one that matches the color of my racing suit? Sister, you're very thoughtful..."

If this were before, Cai Xiaotang would definitely have gone along with his words and bragged a little.

But now, she didn't dare to respond so casually.

"As long as you think it's okay, after all, I don't really know much about these things..."

She replied in a conventional manner.

"It's quite good, I like it."

Liu Qingze suddenly interrupted her, and one could tell from his slightly upbeat tone that he was in a good mood.

He then immediately suggested: "Want to go for a ride?"

"Now?"

Cai Xiaotang was stunned.

"Yes, now."

As Liu Qingze spoke, he had already taken out the new helmet.

"It's perfect to test the new helmet you gave me. I had wanted this for a long time, but I hadn't gotten around to buying it before you beat me to it."

"That... works too."

Cai Xiaotang thought for two seconds and agreed.

Liu Qingze had already taken out her helmet.

Cai Xiaotang reached out to take it, put it on with mixed feelings, sat on his back seat, and just like before, grabbed the corner of his jacket.

Liu Qingze lowered his eyes slightly, a dark and unreadable look flashing in his gaze.

The next second—"Sister, hold on tight."

Almost as soon as the words left his mouth, the motorcycle shot out at lightning speed!

"Ah!"

Cai Xiaotang was startled, and due to inertia, she was caught off guard and lunged forward, crashing directly into Liu Qingze's back!

"Liu Qingze! Why are you driving so fast!"

Cai Xiaotang wanted to sit up, but as soon as she lifted her body slightly, the loss of speed forced her to fall back, pressing tightly against his back.

Her hands also subconsciously changed from clutching his clothes to wrapping around his waist!

Cai Xiaotang felt a bit helpless and wanted to pull her hands back.

But as soon as she moved, someone pressed down on the back of her hand with one hand, not letting her move even an inch.

Cai Xiaotang was stunned, suddenly feeling both annoyed and amused.

This brat was doing it on purpose!

Cai Xiaotang felt conflicted; watching the familiar scenery flash by, she realized he was likely heading to the racetrack.

Cai Xiaotang remained silent for a long while, ultimately deciding that her life was more important and not daring to struggle at a time like this, so she had no choice but to keep her hands wrapped around his waist, not daring to move a muscle, her mind in a chaotic mess.

She must make things clear to him later!

Even if her marriage to Li Xiao was fake, her public status as a married woman was not!

If this kid liked her now, wasn't that just leading him astray?

A handsome guy like him, what kind of person couldn't he have?

Besides, there was such a large age gap between him and her!

Cai Xiaotang calculated in her heart how she should bring it up later.

She thought about it the whole way, and when she noticed the speed of the bike slowly decreasing, she realized they had already arrived at the entrance of the racetrack.

Unlike the noise of that night, there was no race today, and the place seemed much quieter.

Cai Xiaotang had truly experienced what "extreme speed" meant; when she got off the bike, her legs couldn't help but feel a bit weak.

"Why were you driving so fast!"

She took off her helmet and deliberately complained, not wanting the atmosphere to become too awkward.

Then, just as the voice fell, she felt a hand gently brush through her hair, as if wanting to help her tidy it up.

"I can do it myself."

Cai Xiaotang abruptly took a step back, messily raked her hair behind her ears, and looked at Liu Qingze with resignation.

"Let's go."

She dropped these two words and turned to walk toward the inside of the racetrack.

Liu Qingze followed without a word, and the two of them walked into the racetrack one after the other.

Inside the venue, there were only a few people who usually came here often practicing their driving.

Neither of them spoke first to say where they were going.

Yet, both of them walked, as if by unspoken agreement, to the front of the spectator stand where the race had taken place that night.

Cai Xiaotang leaned against the railing, listening to the humming of motorcycles in her ears, struggling with how she should bring it up.

In all fairness, she did not dislike Liu Qingze.

She even liked him a little.

But it was only the "like" for a friend, not a feeling of wanting to date or even develop a closer relationship.

In the past, if she had encountered someone confessing, she probably would have rejected them mercilessly long ago, and if the other party pestered her, she would have served them a "block package."

But for some reason, the moment she thought of the way he had earnestly said those words yesterday, she could not bear to do that.

Even if she rejected him, she did not want to make him too embarrassed.

"Big sister, what are you thinking about? Are you here to zone out? Weren't you going to talk to me?"

Liu Qingze leaned against the railing beside Cai Xiaotang, and seeing that she wasn't speaking, he couldn't help but reach out and poke her cheek.

Cai Xiaotang immediately slapped his hand away.

"You were the one who said I was a married woman and that we should keep our distance, so why aren't you paying any attention to appearances now?"

Cai Xiaotang retorted casually, and her blocked train of thought found a breakthrough in an instant.

Right...

As long as she reminded him that she was married.

She probably wouldn't need to say much more, right?

Cai Xiaotang moved to the side without a trace, wanting to put some distance between them.

She didn't expect that as soon as she moved, Liu Qingze followed right along, and was even closer than he had been just a moment ago!

"What appearances should I pay attention to?"

He asked a question he already knew the answer to, his gaze burning as he stared at Cai Xiaotang.

Cai Xiaotang took a deep breath and finally laid it out plainly: "Liu Qingze, you should know that I am already married, so I can pretend I never heard those words from yesterday, and I won't tell anyone. In the future, you will definitely meet..."

"So what if you're married?"

Liu Qingze suddenly interrupted her.

Cai Xiaotang: "..."

What did he mean by "so what if you're married"?

Was that something a good kid should say!

Cai Xiaotang stared at Liu Qingze, dumbfounded.

Immediately after, she heard him let out a lazy laugh.

"Big sister, aren't you preparing to get a divorce?"
