Chapter 257: Chapter 0257: Good Husband, I Beg You
For a moment, Qiu Ruoxi’s pretty face was as pale as paper, her hands grasping the armrests began to tremble violently, and the terror on her face was unmistakable as her delicate body shook uncontrollably.
She wanted to ask Ye Xunhuan to slam on the brakes and stop the car quickly, but it was as if he couldn’t hear her, continuing to accelerate, ever-faster!
The car was like a bolt of lightning, unbelievably fast, and the speed brought the fear in Qiu Ruoxi’s heart to an unprecedented level.
Nearer, and nearer!
Even nearer!
Unable to bear it any longer, Qiu Ruoxi closed her eyes, her face filled with despair.
In her mind, this was truly the end, a wreck that would leave no body behind.
With such insane speed, how could they possibly survive?
Just as they were about to hit the guardrail, Ye Xunhuan’s hands moved swiftly over the steering wheel while his right foot stomped on the brakes!
"Screech..."
The tires screeched against the ground, and then the sedan executed a drift that could have come out of a textbook, narrowly missing the guardrail on the high-pressure bridge.
The passengers in the vehicles behind on the high-pressure bridge, upon witnessing this scene, all stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
They had clearly seen how fast Ye Xunhuan was driving before and knew there was a curve ahead. At such high speeds, it seemed impossible to avoid a collision, definitely resulting in a crash.
But now, Ye Xunhuan had managed not only to avoid the crash but also pulled off a dazzling drift!
Was the person in the car ahead a driving god?
Had a driving god arrived in Jiangzhong City?
Although the curve on the high-pressure bridge wasn’t complicated, or in other words, quite easy to navigate, Ye Xunhuan had driven the car to its very limit, with a speed like lightning. If not for his excellent driving skills, they would have definitely crashed into the guardrail and plummeted off the bridge!
If he wasn’t a driving god, how could he have escaped with such an eye-catching drift?
The car, although just narrowly missing the guardrail, had averted danger, but Qiu Ruoxi didn’t open her eyes. Instead, her face was filled with despair and unwillingness as she awaited death.
As for Ye Xunhuan, his face remained calm, without any hint of emotion, as if the event that just transpired was nothing to him, or rather, he had grown accustomed to such situations.
"Open your eyes, you’re not dead!"
With that, Ye Xunhuan lit a cigarette for himself.
Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Qiu Ruoxi gradually opened her eyes, and instinctively looked out the window. When she saw that the car had already come down from the high-pressure bridge and was now traveling on the road, the fear on her face slowly dissipated, but there was a sense of relief from having survived a catastrophe.
"Weren’t you the tough one, dragging me to hell, why do you care about stepping on the brakes?" Ye Xunhuan asked indifferently.
Qiu Ruoxi didn’t answer, but after a long pause, she looked at Ye Xunhuan and said, "Ye Xunhuan, you’re a madman, a complete lunatic who doesn’t care about life!"
"Do you have any idea how dangerous it was just now, do you realize what would have happened if we really crashed..."
Recalling the previous moment, Qiu Ruoxi still felt her soul shaken, as if she could smell the scent of death, and all sorts of strange thoughts surged through her mind.
Even many bizarre and absurd thoughts tumbled through her heart!
She had never been in love; apart from Ye Xunhuan’s few tricks, including kissing her, she had never tried kissing, much less making love, never been pregnant, never been a mother. If she had died, it would have been such a pity...
Even at that moment, Qiu Ruoxi thought, she hoped the car wouldn’t break through the guardrail, wouldn’t plunge from the high-pressure bridge so that upon the deployment of the airbags, she could at least leave an intact body for the police to easily identify later!
That moment made her realize how close death really was, and how terrifying it was.
It wasn’t until Ye Xunhuan spoke that she slowly opened her eyes and saw herself still alive, allowing her heart that had risen to her throat to slowly settle back into her stomach.
As she spoke, Qiu Ruoxi suddenly recalled how, at such high speeds, facing an imminent crash against the guardrail, Ye Xunhuan managed to avoid it.
How did you dodge it?
"Feeling scared now?" Ye Xunhuan said, not at all impressed, "When you were messing around with me in the car earlier, why weren’t you scared then?"
"Besides, it was you who provoked me into ramming the car. If you hadn’t provoked me, would I have done something like this?" Ye Xunhuan spoke softly, "Don’t you know that I’m the type of person who can’t resist being goaded?"
"So you’re saying it’s my fault?"
"Could it possibly be my fault?"
"You..."
"Don’t start hitting me, otherwise my hand might slip, and something really could happen!"
After hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words and recalling the terrifying moment that had just occurred, Qiu Ruoxi dared not make any further movements.
She didn’t want to die, she was so young!
"Ye Xunhuan, I swear, I’m never riding in your car again!"
"But you’re riding in it right now!"
"I’m talking about from now on!"
"As soon as you finished saying those words, that was from then on!"
"You..."
Qiu Ruoxi, trembling all over with anger, said, "Pull over right now, I’m getting out of the car..."
"You want me to pull over just because you say so? Wouldn’t that make me lose face?"
Facing Ye Xunhuan, who was shameless to the extreme, Qiu Ruoxi had no solution at all and didn’t dare to make the same moves as before, truly afraid that this lunatic might really do something outrageous.
Qiu Ruoxi snorted coldly and ignored Ye Xunhuan.
"Wife, how did you like that just now? Was it thrilling?" Ye Xunhuan chuckled and said, "Want me to give you something even more thrilling?"
After hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, the color that had barely returned to Qiu Ruoxi’s face immediately disappeared without a trace, replaced by a pale complexion, "Ye Xunhuan, I’m warning you, if you dare to scare me again, I’ll jump out of the car..."
"Really?"
"Don’t think I’m bluffing, I, Qiu Ruoxi, mean what I say..."
Although thinking back on it, it had indeed been thrilling, but however thrilling it had been, Qiu Ruoxi didn’t want to experience it again—it was too frightening.
Even if they hadn’t crashed, she probably would have been scared into having a heart attack.
And what if Ye Xunhuan made a mistake in handling the car...
"Just now you were saying not to stop, but you still ended up making me hit the brakes," Ye Xunhuan pursed his lips and said, "Women, oh women, another name for you might as well be ’liar’!"
Qiu Ruoxi didn’t care about Ye Xunhuan’s sarcastic comments and asked coldly, "Ye Xunhuan, how exactly did you maneuver the car to avoid it just now?"
"Want to know?"
"Yes!"
"Hold on tight, I’ll take you on another ride!"
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan suddenly floored the accelerator, and the car shot out like an arrow.
"Ah..." Qiu Ruoxi immediately let out a piercing scream, "Ye Xunhuan, stop the car, stop the car..."
"Husband, dear husband, I beg you, stop the car, stop the car..."
