Ye Shikai isn't a car enthusiast, as long as the car is easy to drive and safe, that's enough. With seven or eight cars in a race, if you win them all and take them home, are you planning to hold a car exhibition? Besides, he and Su Ziqing came to Tianshan for racing secretly while Su Qingyu was asleep. Doing so would just completely expose them.

"You can give them to me, and I'll let Yaoyao manage them. Then I can drive to school in the future." Su Ziqing said with a cheeky grin. This girl had quite the imagination, wanting to drive a race car to school. It would certainly be flashy, but it didn't match her identity. Ye Shikai responded to her request with a light knock on her head.

"That hurts, you jerk brother-in-law."

"It's better to let Yaoyao handle these cars." As Ye Shikai arrived at the club entrance, Yaoyao had already changed back into her original clothes. Probably only the Tianshan Club's behind-the-scenes boss knew her identity.

"Thanks a lot earlier, uncle." Han Ruoyao nodded with a smile as she stepped up to take Ye Shikai's left arm, snuggling into his embrace in a playful manner.

"It's mainly because of your strong skills," Ye Shikai said. "If it wasn't for Jack trying to take advantage of you, I wouldn't have bothered to help you."

"Hehe, he dared to get fresh. I saw it just now; that scumbag even wanted to hit you, uncle, but ended up being beaten to a pulp instead."

"Those were my guards. This kid didn't know his place, lost, and still wanted to fight, so I had to teach him a lesson." Ye Shikai waved his hand, and those Hidden Guards blended back into the crowd.

"Good on you for teaching him a lesson. A sleazeball like him should be beaten thoroughly."

"I've already told the boss about this, and Jack won't be able to come here anymore." Han Ruoyao said to Ye Shikai.

"Whatever, if it weren't for this troublesome girl today, I wouldn't have wanted to come in the first place. You're a student now too, so try not to come here too often." Ye Shikai glanced at the young men and women around them, all a group of idlers. He didn't look down on them; he just didn't want the two girls to make the wrong friends.

"I got it, uncle. Let's hurry and go for a late night snack." Han Ruoyao dragged the two of them to a barbecue restaurant. Since he helped this little girl win so much money, Ye Shikai decided to indulge a bit, ordering the most expensive items.

"Uncle, now you're the star of the Tianshan Club. Sigh, I feel my 'car god' status is in danger." Han Ruoyao said as she ate a big piece of grilled meat, feigning a look of anxious fear.

"I have no interest in racing on mountain roads late at night." Ye Shikai immediately shut down that idea. Not that racing wasn't fun, but he just didn't like mingling with those spoiled rich kids. Their racing skills were quite bad too.

"Brother-in-law, I'm interested though." Su Ziqing said excitedly from the side. Ye Shikai threw her a fierce glare—this girl just loved being part of the excitement.

"Get lost."

"Hmph."

If Su Ziqing were allowed to go racing, she'd be in the hospital within three days...

After a big meal, the three of them relaxed comfortably on the sofa. The barbecue at this place was indeed exquisite and delicious, although a bit pricey. However, with a "benefactor" footing the bill, Ye Shikai didn't feel too bad about it.

Ring ring ring.

With a toothpick in his mouth, Ye Shikai pulled out his phone from his pocket. Who could be calling him so late?

"Hello, who is this?"

"Kai, it's me." A cool voice came from the other end of the line, like a cold breeze brushing his ear.

It was Chen Yuxin's call. Ye Shikai was startled into awareness. Why was she calling him so late? Only when he walked into the bathroom did Ye Shikai feel safe enough to speak.

"Xin, it's you. Is there something you need this late?"

"Kai, there's something I need, could you come over to my place?"

Going to a single woman's house at night, even though Ye Shikai was quite familiar with Chen Yuxin, he still felt uneasy about going. Given their past experiences, Ye Shikai felt a slight fear when it came to Chen Yuxin. It was actually strange—logically, what did he have to be afraid of? But his heart just kept trembling involuntarily.

"Kai, are you… listening?"

"Oh, yes, I'm listening." Ye Shikai quickly replied.

"Kai, could you come over?" Chen Yuxin's tone was very soft, almost pleading. When they used to interact, she had always been this gentle and fragile, as fragile as a delicate flower.

"Well… Xin, it's really late now. How about… I come over tomorrow morning?" Ye Shikai tentatively asked, and the line went silent.

"Hello, Xin, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. If that's the case, then come over tomorrow morning." Even through the phone, Ye Shikai could feel the disappointment in Chen Yuxin's voice. Since their relationship changed after that incident, Ye Shikai felt particularly guilty facing her.

"Brother-in-law, whose call was that?" As soon as Ye Shikai stepped out of the restroom, he was blocked by Su Ziqing. This little girl, how could she eavesdrop on calls?

"It's none of your business, little mischief-maker. Get home and sleep quickly." Ye Shikai, feeling guilty, hastily scolded a few times before leaving in a hurry.

.....................

Who knows what she really wanted? Could it really be an emergency? Rejecting her like this, would it be inappropriate? Lying in bed, Ye Shikai's mind wandered back to Chen Yuxin's matter. Ever since their first time together, he hadn't dared to face her. Driven by traditional thoughts on marriage, he knew he was being unfaithful, which left him feeling anxious and guilty. In Chen Yuxin's presence, he felt an overwhelming sense of remorse, not just for her, but for Su Qingyu as well.

"Forget it, I should at least go check it out." Ye Shikai distressingly knocked on his head. No matter what, he should go have a look. He wasn't a heartless person, and could even be described as overindulgent. He couldn't bring himself to cut ties with Chen Yuxin completely, even after Dugu Tianke's warning, he still continued on his own path.

Thinking optimistically, maybe it was something else. Putting emotions aside, if it was something objective, Ye Shikai could certainly help, like sourcing rare herbs or helping find someone.

The next day, Su Qingyu woke up at the same time as usual. After Ye Shikai's "massage therapy," her complexion had obviously improved, looking rosy and glowing with vibrant vitality.

"Qingyu, how do you feel now?"

"Mm, I feel great. If you're ever bored, I think opening a massage shop would suit you." Su Qingyu, feeling physically comfortable, was in high spirits and even joked proactively.
