Su Qi bit her lip tightly.
What to do.
Get out of the car?
Cannot get out of the car.
She didn't want to embarrass herself on the main road!
Refusing to back down, she stomped on the accelerator and then sharply turned the steering wheel.
Su Qi's car, originally a feminine sedan, was very small and easily maneuvered away, brushing past the sports car.
She didn't know where she was escaping to.
Su Qi just drove straight ahead, her head down.
Unconsciously, she drove out of the bustling city. This was a coastal road, sparsely populated, with very few cars. The sky gradually darkened, and the cars around became fewer and fewer.
Su Qi bit her lip and glanced at the rearview mirror.
Huo Tingyun's sports car was still behind her, chasing relentlessly.
He seemed to be toying with her, speeding up and slowing down, but always keeping pace with her car.
Su Qi had already pressed the accelerator to the floor, but after all, it was just a private car, its performance incomparable to a sports car.
Moreover, Huo Tingyun was a world-renowned race car driver.
She felt like prey, toyed with in his palm.
Suddenly, the fuel warning light turned red.
Su Qi slammed on the brakes. The man's sports car behind her also braked sharply, then smoothly executed a U-turn and stopped sideways in front of her.
This was Binhai Avenue.
Su Qi pushed open the car door, not looking back, and got out, running towards the sea.
Huo Tingyun pushed open his sports car door and stood beside it. His tall, one-ninety frame, he lit a cigarette, narrowed his ink-black eyes, and stared at the retreating figure of the woman.
He slowly lit a cigarette.
After finishing his cigarette, he finally took a step.
Snap.
Her wrist was grabbed, and she was pulled into the man's embrace.
The afterglow of the sunset, half the sun submerged on the horizon, the entire sky a canvas of black and red, a dark yet beautiful scene, like the end of the world.
Because she had run in such a hurry, her breathing was rapid, and her body was covered in sweat.
Her cheeks were flushed red.
Su Qi's clear eyes reflected the man's angry, handsome face.
"Su Qi, you are truly interesting..."
He found this woman increasingly interesting.
"Let go of me!" Su Qi opened her mouth and bit him. The man, in pain, loosened his grip. Su Qi immediately used all her strength, pushed the man away, and then rushed into the sea. Her long dress was completely soaked.
Huo Tingyun narrowed his phoenix eyes, spread his legs, and slowly followed her.
Soon, the seawater reached her calves.
She had nowhere left to run.
"Want to swim?"
From above, the man's playful voice rang out.
Deep, enchanting, and extremely cunning.
Su Qi gritted her back teeth. The icy seawater made her calves tremble uncontrollably.
"Admit you're wrong, and I'll let you go."
A scholar can be killed but not insulted. She would never admit fault.
The man didn't force her, just stood there, watching her quietly.
The sun gradually set, and the entire world turned dark.
Su Qi's teeth chattered from the cold. She couldn't take it anymore. She had a baby in her belly and couldn't afford to play games with him.
"I was wrong, let me go..."
"Heh..."
A smile played on the corner of the man's lips. He walked over and lifted her into his arms.
Su Qi instinctively hooked her arms around the man's neck.
Huo Tingyun carried Su Qi back to the car and placed her inside the sports car.
The next second, he threw a paper bag at her.
"Change into it."
Su Qi opened it and found a dress.
Why did he have women's clothes in his car?
"You... you get out of the car!"
"What are you shy about? I haven't seen you before."
Huo Tingyun's hands rested on the steering wheel.
The car's interior lights illuminated his fingers.
His knuckles were distinct, slender and long, as beautiful as a work of art.
"What part of you haven't I seen?"
"You..."
Su Qi shivered. It was too cold. After struggling internally for a moment, she changed into the dress in front of the man.
Fortunately, her inner clothing was not soaked by the seawater.
Su Qi changed quickly into the dress.
Dry and warm.
Su Qi let out a sigh of relief.
"Looks like you've been eating well during your pregnancy."
The man chuckled in a low, amused voice.
Su Qi's ears turned red. "You're talking nonsense..."
Huo Tingyun's thin lips moved, silently forming two words.
If it weren't for his handsome face, this man would have been no different from a thug.
"Open the door, I want to get out."
Su Qi reached out to push the car door.
No matter how hard she pushed, the car door showed no reaction.
It had already been locked by the man.
This was his usual style.
"Lin Te, come and drive one back."
Huo Tingyun hung up the phone and then extended his palm.
"What?"
"The key."
"I can drive myself."
Su Qi remained still.
Huo Tingyun started the sports car, and the engine roared.
"Then we'll leave it here."
"You..."
Su Qi was so angry she couldn't speak.
He was still as domineering as ever.
Su Qi obediently handed over the car keys.
Lin Te quickly arrived, jumped out of his car, walked to the sports car window, and knocked on the glass. "Master Huo."
Huo Tingyun tossed the key out of the car window. "Drive it home."
With that, he rolled up the window and hit the accelerator.
Fortunately, she had fastened her seatbelt, but the inertia still almost sent her flying forward.
Su Qi felt so choked by the seatbelt that she almost vomited.
For some reason, the car's speed gradually slowed down.
Su Qi's stomach felt slightly better.
The sports car drove back to Repulse Bay.
Huo Tingyun's car had ignored traffic lights all the way, so they quickly returned to the villa.
Su Qi felt uncomfortable, her head feeling groggy, likely due to a slight fever.
She pushed open the car door and got out, not caring where she was.
Sister Wu had prepared dinner and was overjoyed to see them return. "Madam, Sir, you're back. Come and eat quickly." Su Qi had no appetite and waved her hand, heading upstairs.
She curled up on the master bed, her mind feeling hazy.
"Creak."
The bedroom door behind her was pushed open.
Knowing who had entered, Su Qi didn't have the strength to move, remaining motionless.
"Have some porridge."
Huo Tingyun stood by the bed, holding a ceramic bowl. The bowl contained nourishing porridge stewed by Sister Wu, emitting a fragrant aroma.
Su Qi swallowed, struggled to sit up.
Before she could take the bowl, Huo Tingyun sat on the edge of the bed, stirred the porridge in the bowl with a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and then brought it to Su Qi's lips. Su Qi paused, said nothing, and ate the porridge. It was warm, with ginger slices, which warmed her stomach.
After finishing the bowl of porridge, Su Qi lay down again.
Huo Tingyun said nothing, just tucked her in, and then left the room.
The door was left ajar, and Su Qi vaguely heard the man on the phone.
Soon after, she heard the sound of a car in the garden.
Xu Linchuan had just returned from a business trip in Hong Kong.
He was supposed to be away for a week, but he had seen Su Qi's message in advance.
