Two messages arrived on her phone, almost one after the other.

Nan Yan silently looked at them for two seconds.

She decided to reply to Shen Junqing first, telling him where to pick her up later.

Then, she glanced at the message from Qin Lu, unsure of how to respond.

Before she returned, Qin Lu had specifically warned her not to associate with Shen Junqing, fearing that he would have a bad influence on her.

But now…

After hesitating for less than five seconds, she calmly replied, “A classmate broke her leg, and we’re going to the hospital to see her.”

Well, that was the truth, so it didn’t really count as deception.

Besides, she had deceived Qin Lu multiple times before, so one more lie wouldn’t make much of a difference.

Qin Lu: “Is your relationship improving with your classmates in the class?”

Qin Lu had inquired about Nan Yan’s situation before. He knew that the students in Class 4 had some issues with her, and she didn’t like them either.

Nan Yan: “Yeah, they’re just a bunch of silly and immature kids. They’re tolerable.”

If they were truly bad people, there was nothing that could change that.

Fortunately, these kids still had hope, and giving them a chance to correct their values wasn’t a bad thing.

Qin Lu looked at her response and couldn’t help but smile.

Did she forget that she was also just a kid when she called others “silly kids”?

Qin Lu: “Well, get along well with your classmates. Campus life will be more colorful that way.”

Nan Yan: “Okay, got it.”

Qin Lu: “Good. •w •

The emoticon of patting her head made Nan Yan pause for a moment.

His ‘big brother’ image is a bit shattered.

Nan Yan let out a soft “tsk” and replied expressionlessly, “Brother, I’ll accompany my classmates first. You can go about your business.”

Qin Lu: “Alright.’

After putting down his phone, Qin Lu furrowed his brows.

Wasn’t he planning to settle things with the little one?

Well, considering how well-behaved she was, he decided to let it slide this time…

Shen Junqing picked up Nan Yan and went to have a meal before heading to the suburban racing track.

“Sis, today’s race is a bit different from usual. They’ve changed the format.” Shen Junqing had also received a last-minute notice about the change in format.

Bringing up this topic during their meal wouldn’t have been appropriate, so he cnose to discuss It In tne car.

“First, they’ve changed the race location. This time, we won’t be racing on the mountain circuit but on a professional racing track. Second, participants are not allowed to use their self-modified cars. They must use the professional race cars provided by the track.”

“I see.”

Nan Yan’s emotions seemed rather indifferent, as if she didn’t care much. “Just go with the flow. As long as the prize money remains the same.”

Shen Junqing nodded and assured her, “Don’t worry, the prize money is still fifty million, guaranteed.”

“That’s good.’

The professional racing track was only available in the nearby city, and Jin City didn’t have such a track.

At the current race venue, Luo Ling sat high in the VIP stands.

She wasn’t there to participate in the race but rather as the organizer of this event, representing the Luo family.

The fifty million prize money was provided by the Luo family.

“Miss Luo, here are the profiles of the upcoming participants.”

An attendant handed her a stack of profiles.

The Luo family had a professional racing team and was planning to compete in international events. One of the purposes of this race was to identify talented individuals among these amateur racers and invite them to join the Luo family’s racing team. This was one of the ways many racing teams scouted for new talent.

Usually, this task wouldn’t have fallen to Luo Ling; it would have been the responsibility of her older brother, Luo Yutang.

However, due to Luo Ling’s repeated attempts to harass Qin Lu, which led to Qin Lu warning the head of the Luo family (Luo Ling’s father), the family head decided to assign this task to her to prevent her from bothering Qin Lu again.

Normally, Luo Ling wouldn’t have been bothered by such tasks, but she had been specifically instructed to handle this one.

She flipped through the profiles of the participants and noticed a familiar name. “Third Young Master Shen from the Shen family is also participating?”

Third Young Master Shen’s name was well-known in Jin City. It was understandable that Luo Ling knew him.

“Yes, Miss Luo.” The manager nodded.” Third Young Master Shen is a senior racing enthusiast. He often participated in private competitions.”

There was a profile photo of Shen Junqing on the document. He looked handsome, well-dressed, and had captivating peach blossom eyes that seemed to emit charm naturally.

But Luo Ling wasn’t impressed by men who only had good looks and lacked substance. She preferred the kind of CEO that Qin Lu represented, someone who was personally accomplished, exuded a powerful presence, and had a dominant and cold-hearted CEO type.

Furthermore, with Shen Junqing’s carefree and libertine behavior, even if he had a handsome face, Luo Ling couldn’t bring herself to be interested in him.

After spending about half a minute on Shen Junqing’s photo, she continued scrolling.

Once she finished, she selected a few profiles and handed them to the attendant, saying, “Pay special attention to these individuals. After the race, have them come and see me.”

The profiles included basic information about the participants, such as their age, gender, address, family background, and their past racing achievements. The results of this race would also be considered in evaluating their potential and value as racecar drivers.

“Understood, Miss Luo.”

In the evening at 8:30, Shen Junqing’s car arrived at the racing track.

“Nan Yan, we’re here.”

He unbuckled his seatbelt and looked at Nan Yan with a smile and affection in his eyes.

Nan Yan turned off her phone, put it in her pocket, and rubbed her forehead before undoing her seatbelt.

“Feeling tired?” Shen Junqing’s tone was full of concern.

“Not really, it’s just that I was looking at my phone too much, and it made me a bit dizzy.”

“If you ever feel dizzy in the car again, just close your eyes and take a rest without looking at your phone.”

Nan Yan looked up at him and replied leisurely, “Got it, Big Brother.”

Shen Junqing touched his nose.

When she was staring at him just now, he almost thought that she was going to complain that he was being too meddlesome..

But it seemed…

Things were going quite well!

Shen Junqing smiled with his peach blossom eyes as he watched Nan Yan calmly got out of the car, and it seemed that a strange affection was slowly brewing.

When they arrived at the racing venue, Shen Junqing only then realized that there were many participants in this competition.

“It’s not just people from Jincheng here,” he remarked.

Nan Yan squinted slightly and, with a subdued tone, said, “Professional racing teams have come to scout talent.”

Shen Junqing nodded, suddenly understanding. “I see.”

“Yanyan, if you win first place, won’t you catch the eye of racing teams? Are you planning to join one?”

He asked earnestly.

“I won’t join,” Nan Yan replied decisively. “I’m only interested in the prize money from the race.”

Shen Junqing said,

He still didn’t understand why Nan Yan needed so much money. What did she intend to do with it?

After a moment of silence, Shen Junqing placed his hand on Nan Yan’s shoulder and said seriously, “Yanyan, if you ever need money, you can tell Third Brother, and I’ll give it to you.”

Nan Yan stared at him expressionlessly for a few seconds and raised her eyebrows.
