Chapter 1467: Chapter 1468: I Have a Friend Nearby

As they were talking, Zhong Yuye’s car had already arrived.

His ride was a military-green Hummer—tall, rugged, and imposing. Rong Yan’s eyes almost turned green with envy the moment she laid eyes on it.

The Hummer was her absolute favorite car, without exception!

Just like a racing motorcycle, the Hummer’s design was undoubtedly the boldest and wildest among off-road vehicles. Coincidentally, the style she adored most was the one that stood out from the crowd.

Li Shengxiao had a collection of luxury cars parked in Dihor Garden’s underground garage, most of which were understated and comfortable models. Due to his status, Rong Yan had rarely seen him drive anything like a Hummer. So when she suddenly saw Zhong Yuye driving one today, her eyes lit up, and holding her chest, she murmured, “I really want to experience a ride in it.”

“What?” Estelle didn’t catch her words.

Rong Yan quickly erased the look of yearning from her face, turned her head, and shook it at her. “Nothing.”

Between Li Shengxiao and the Hummer… she’d still choose her boyfriend!

Although… she was really, really, really tempted to cheat on him—ahhhhhh!

Su Xiansui overheard Rong Yan’s murmuring and let out a cold snort from the side. “A bumpkin will always be a bumpkin.”

Rong Yan heard her and shot her a cold glance before replying leisurely, “Your words almost made me want to call Miss Su by the name Miss Lin.”

Miss Lin? Su Xiansui was momentarily confused and didn’t catch the meaning behind her words right away. But soon, her brain processed it—Rong Yan was indirectly calling her a bumpkin in return!

Having already faced the embarrassment of failing her confession earlier tonight and shamelessly tagging along this far, Su Xiansui’s face was already hard to look at. Rong Yan’s jab, reminding her she wasn’t some high-class socialite, was like being stripped bare and humiliated. Her face turned alternating shades of red and white, a picture of fury and embarrassment. She clenched her fists tightly, gritted her teeth, and stared daggers at Rong Yan.

At that moment, the car window lowered, revealing Zhong Yuye’s face to the three women. He smiled at Rong Yan and said, “Get in.”

“Uh…” Rong Yan held her phone, her expression slightly awkward as she replied, “Zhong Yuye, um, I think I’ll pass. A friend of mine happens to be nearby; he said he’s coming to find me, so I’ll just ride back with him. Sorry to trouble you with Estelle.”

Since running into her earlier, Zhong Yuye had been in a great mood all afternoon. Now, with one hand resting on the steering wheel, his exposed forearm looked strikingly fair. Upon hearing her reply, his clear, deep gaze landed on her. His lips moved slightly as he said, “I can just take you and your friend together; no need to bother your nearby friend. Get in—I’ll drop you both off.”

“Uh…” Rong Yan stood in place, visibly conflicted. “My friend is already on his way. Why don’t you guys go ahead? Don’t worry about me.”

Zhong Yuye seemed to have guessed something but didn’t say anything, simply pressing his lips together.

Su Xiansui, on the other hand, couldn’t hold her temper. She snapped in frustration, “Senior, Miss Rong already told us not to bother with her. Let’s just leave her alone, so our good intentions don’t get mistaken for something unwelcome. You’re kindly offering her a ride home, and yet you’re being shunned!”

Damn it!

Rong Yan rolled her eyes, exasperated, then earnestly clarified to the man in the car, “That’s not what I meant.”

Zhong Yuye’s lips, a striking shade of crimson, quirked faintly. “I know.”

“Your friend hasn’t arrived yet—they’re probably still busy. I can drop you off, so there’s no need to trouble them.”

Surprise flickered across Rong Yan’s eyes; she hadn’t expected him to insist on giving her a ride. Dropping her gaze, her lashes lowered as she hesitated for a moment before speaking, “Then…”
