Chapter 531: Chapter 531

There’s simply an unspoken attraction between people.

Perhaps it was love at first sight, or maybe it was more... carnal.

For instance, when Xie Baola first saw Chen Jiayan, she wanted to rip off his clothes.

It was that kind of fatal and tempting allure.

After chatting with Shen Dang, Xie Baola felt somewhat upset.

While she was abroad, her best friend had married and divorced Shen Dang.

In one sentence: men are really annoying.

Just as she was thinking this, a man who had exchanged a few words with Shen Dang passed in front of her.

Xie Baola unconsciously looked up at the man, her fox-like eyes slightly narrowing.

Perhaps it was the hazy lighting that created the atmosphere, but Xie Baola’s heart fluttered when she saw him.

The man had clear, translucent eyes, as if hiding galaxies within them, a cool and elegant individual that immediately appealed to her taste.

After several years abroad where she was surrounded by foreigners, she had grown weary of them.

Now, seeing him, the world seemed to suddenly become clearer.

Even the air felt more comfortable.

Thus, she couldn’t help but stretch out her long legs to block his path.

Seeing his cool, detached gaze, Xie Baola felt a wicked urge and flippantly blew a smoke ring towards him, noticing with interest the frown that crossed his face.

"Is there something?"

Xie Baola found him not only visually pleasing but his voice pleasant too, cool and distant like the cedar.

Could such a cold man be frigid?

And what would he be like when he got warmed up?

She really wanted to strip off his clothes and find out.

With this curiosity, Xie Baola ventured, "Do you know Xixi?"

When did her best friend get such a brother, and how was she unaware of it?

Seeing her skepticism, the man indifferently said, "It’s normal that you wouldn’t know."

But she didn’t dwell on it.

Xie Baola’s curiosity was piqued nonetheless.

When someone arouses your curiosity, take note.

But who is the prey isn’t always clear.

The men Xie Baola set her sights on never escaped her palm.

However, knowing he was Qiao Xi’s brother, it was the first time she felt something might be tricky.

This was their first meeting,

the second time she saw Chen Jiayan.

Xie Baola purposefully made Chen Jiayan come to Qiao Xi’s house.

Pretending ignorance she exclaimed, "Oh, it’s you?"

Chen Jiayan clearly saw the blatant desire in Xie Baola’s gaze.

With adults, some things go without saying.

A single look can ignite devastating chemistry.

But with his heart committed elsewhere, faced with her semi-provocative approach, he was cold-hearted and indifferent, turning away and leaving her sight.

Xie Baola, of course, could tell Chen Jiayan wasn’t interested in her.

But instead, it made her itch even more.

Like a feather lightly tracing over her heart.

—She really wanted to have him.

Unable to restrain her impulse, Xie Baola texted Qiao Xi these words but retracted them in seconds, feeling guilty.

There’s a saying, "Don’t eat the grass by your own den." Wasn’t it inappropriate to pursue her best friend’s brother?

Such debts of seduction weren’t easy to repay!

Thinking she couldn’t have this man, she decided to pursue others.

So, Xie Baola quickly cast those restless thoughts aside.

But she hadn’t expected to run into Chen Jiayan so soon again. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on ɴoᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt

A tech company CEO secretly into street racing?

That was truly unexpected.

Under the dense night, the luxury cars gathered here seemed to cut out another dimension from the world below the mountain.

Amidst the clamor and excitement, Xie Baola spotted Chen Jiayan in the crowd.

While others dressed casually, his out-of-place white shirt seemed to gather the moonlight.

Her gaze was drawn in.

Amid the dim night, though they were physically in the same space, it felt like an invisible barrier separated them.

After looking at each other for a few seconds, Xie Baola approached him, waving as she greeted, "Hello, we meet again."

She thought her gaze must be particularly impure at the moment.

"What a coincidence."

Xie Baola felt they were fated.

Her heart fluttered with excitement.

Suddenly, Chen Jiayan leaned in close, his thin lips near her ear.

Was this man trying to seduce her?

He just said, "Don’t tell Xixi about my racing."

He didn’t want Xixi to know he raced.

Did he have feelings for Xixi?

The thought crossed her mind fleetingly.

"Why should I agree?"

This man, so cool yet also wild,

was very interesting.

Yet he didn’t want to reveal such a side of himself in front of Qiao Xi.

Her interest in him deepened.

"What’s your condition?" he asked.

"Why are you afraid of me telling Xixi about this?"

Xie Baola just wanted to know the reason.

"Do you have feelings for Xixi?"

Her friend was so lovely, it was normal for others to like her—not just men, even she liked Qiao Xi.

Xie Baola understood this was just Chen Jiayan’s way of fending her off.

She didn’t press further.

Being family, there was a line they could never cross.

He stood on the other side of that line, keeping everything clear and never overstepping.

Because they all knew the relationship between Shen Dang and Qiao Xi was something others could never interfere with.

"Let’s race around, just the two of us."

She was full of provocation.

Chen Jiayan accepted her challenge.

Then he saw Qu Jiashu get into Xie Baola’s car.

So when a friend who was also into racing stuffed a scantily-clad woman into his passenger seat, he didn’t refuse.

With the sound of a gunshot, the two cars at the starting line shot off like arrows.

The night was haunting.

Only two beams of headlights lit up the way forward.

The sound of the engines roared like thunder.

Circling around the mountain top, it turned into an echo reaching another mountain.

Amid the wild cheers, the two cars chased each other, indistinguishable, seeming to tear the space apart.

After a turn, Xie Baola steered directly out, showing no intention of slowing down.

Qu Jiashu in the passenger seat gripped the handle tightly.

He glanced at the visibly excited Xie Baola and then anxiously at the rearview mirror.

Chen Jiayan’s car was falling behind Xie Baola’s.

She stepped out of the car, waving cheerfully at Chen Jiayan.

Chen Jiayan stayed seated in his car, watching her lively arm waving.

He didn’t move for a moment.

The girl next to him didn’t dare to urge him, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Xie Baola knocked on the car window.

Chen Jiayan, unfathomable, lowered the window: "Something up?"
