Hmph, no one can resist me! Not even Liu Ergou!

With that thought, Zhang Man smiled and said, "Er Gou, it's so hot today! Look how hot I am!" As she spoke, she pulled her skirt up a little higher.

This time, Liu Ergou got a crystal-clear view, and his eyes nearly popped out of his head.

Zhang Man then continued, "It's so hot, Er Gou. Aren't you feeling it?"

Liu Ergou looked at her and replied bluntly, "Hot? If you're hot, turn on the air conditioning. Don't tell me a nice car like this doesn't have AC!"

Zhang Man couldn't help but purse her lips. This man is completely clueless! I gave him such obvious hints, yet he can still say something so heartless. A wave of anger washed over her at the thought.

Just as she was about to say something, her eyes fell on the steering wheel, and an idea popped into her head. Without a moment's hesitation, she slammed her foot on the gas. The sports car let out a deafening roar, and a powerful G-force pressed an utterly unprepared Liu Ergou firmly against his seat. The scenery outside the window began to fly by in a blur.

Liu Ergou was no fool; he knew exactly what was happening. She must have floored it, or the sports car wouldn't be going this fast. She was most likely getting revenge for what he'd said earlier.

He had barely finished the thought when Zhang Man asked, "How does it feel, Er Gou? Isn't this speed thrilling?"

"Thrilling my ass! Slow down! This is way too fast!" Liu Ergou yelled, gripping the door handle for dear life as he watched the scenery blur past.

Hearing him, Zhang Man glanced down at the speedometer, then looked up and said nonchalantly, "This is nothing. We're only doing 120. My record is 160! Here, let me speed up some more!"

Before Liu Ergou could protest, she stomped on the gas again, and the speedometer needle shot toward 140.

Terrified, Liu Ergou's knuckles turned white as he gripped the handle even tighter. His face, without him realizing it, had grown a shade paler.

Zhang Man kept the car at 140 kph for a full ten minutes before she finally, and somewhat reluctantly, returned to a normal speed.

After slowing down, Zhang Man asked, "How was that, Er Gou? Wasn't 140 thrilling?"

Liu Ergou was still reeling from the drive and didn't respond immediately. Zhang Man repeated her question, and he finally snapped out of it.

"Thrilling my ass!" he retorted. "I felt like my soul was about to fly out of my body! We're on a public road! How dare you drive that fast? We were lucky there were no other cars. If there had been..."

Zhang Man cut him off before he could finish. "Alright, alright, I get it! Why are you suddenly nagging like an old man? So annoying!" With a pout, she turned her head and went back to focusing on the road.

Her words left Liu Ergou speechless for a moment. This woman... she's definitely trouble.

Just as Liu Ergou was fuming internally, Zhang Man, who had been driving in silence, suddenly asked, "Hey Er Gou, let me ask you something. How did you and Liu Yunxi meet?"

Still fuming, Liu Ergou shot back without even looking at her, "None of your business! Just focus on driving. The road was empty before, but there's traffic now. Pay attention! I have no desire to die young."

His sharp reply successfully shut down whatever else Zhang Man had intended to say. She opened her mouth as if to argue, but ultimately just closed it and went back to driving.

「About half an hour later.」

Zhang Man drove Liu Ergou to her home. Zhang Xiuming was already waiting by the door. The moment he saw his daughter arrive with Liu Ergou, he rushed over to greet them. "Divine Doctor, you've finally arrived! I've waited for what feels like an eternity, and you're finally here! Come in, quickly!"

As he spoke, Zhang Xiuming grabbed Liu Ergou's hand to lead him toward the villa. However, Liu Ergou's legs were still weak from the high-speed drive, and Zhang Xiuming's pull nearly sent him sprawling to the ground.

"Divine Doctor, what's wrong?" Zhang Xiuming asked with concern, steadying him.

Liu Ergou waved a dismissive hand. "It's nothing, it's nothing. The car was just going a little too fast, and my legs are still a bit weak. I've never been in such a fast car before. Also, you don't have to call me Divine Doctor. It sounds so awkward. Just call me Er Gou."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiuming seemed to understand. He immediately turned and shot a glare at his daughter.

Zhang Man just stuck out her tongue and gave a sheepish smile before quickly stepping forward to help support Liu Ergou.

"Dad, you go on ahead and check on Grandpa," Zhang Man said. "I'll take Er Gou for a little walk to help him recover. We can't have him seeing Grandpa like this, can we?"

Zhang Xiuming thought her point was reasonable, so he nodded and headed into the villa alone.

As soon as her father was gone, Zhang Man grabbed Liu Ergou's arm and started pulling him straight upstairs.

This left Liu Ergou completely baffled. "What are you doing?" he asked, confused. "Didn't you say we were going for a walk?"

Zhang Man just giggled. "Heh, yeah, a walk! We can take a walk in my room!"

Her words left Liu Ergou stunned. What the hell? Take a walk in a girl's room? What kind of walk is that?!

But Zhang Man gave him no chance to protest, dragging him swiftly into her room. The moment they were inside, before Liu Ergou could say a word, Zhang Man beat him to it. "Phew, Er Gou, it was so hot earlier. I'm all sweaty from the drive, it feels disgusting! You can sit over there. I'm going to take a quick shower, and we can talk after!"

After saying that, she flashed him a sweet smile and turned toward the bathroom.

As he watched her disappear into the bathroom, Liu Ergou couldn't help but marvel. You really can't imagine how the rich live. She has a full en-suite bathroom right in her bedroom. He had to admit, he was a little envious. But, he believed, one day he would have a villa like this too!
