"Unreasonable!" Han Ruoxi didn't know how to respond to Ye Xiao's words anymore and could only mutter so with a twist of her mouth.

Ye Xiao, on the other hand, didn't mind Han Ruoxi's comments and appeared indifferent. After all, he didn't have much of a relationship with Li Siqi, so why should he yield to her? Besides, he never intended to portray himself as some kind of saint. If he lost, he would have to leave Chu City forever, but if he won, was he not allowed even a kiss? Who wasn't born of parents—why should what she says go unchallenged?

At this moment, Jiang Miaoke also didn't know what to say. Originally, she had wanted to scold Ye Xiao as well, since after all, Li Siqi was a girl. But in reality, Jiang Miaoke could see that Li Siqi wasn't likely to let Ye Xiao off easy. If Ye Xiao lost the race, he might not be able to stay in Chu City.

Between these two, Jiang Miaoke didn't want either to lose. However, clearly, only one could win; you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Thus, what Jiang Miaoke had to do was simple—let them go as they wished, whether they won or lost was up to fate. However, she was still worried about Ye Xiao, because she was very confident in Li Siqi's driving skills. After all, Li Siqi's claim to fame was her excellence in both literature and racing. Moreover, her racing was exceptionally outstanding, and so far, she hadn't been defeated. As for Ye Xiao? He seemed to drive pretty well, but being a good driver and having racing skills are entirely two different concepts.

Ye Xiao's words did convince the people present. Although Ye Xiao's conditions seemed a bit tricky, in fact, he was the one who stood to lose the most. If he lost, he would have to leave this place forever, whereas if Li Siqi lost, she would only have to kiss Ye Xiao—a mere kiss. Was that so important? It's not like it would cost her flesh, and besides, who believed Li Siqi could lose?

Li Siqi, as the boss of Weihang Club, was acknowledged in Bird City and Chu City, and even in the underground racing scene of Yan Country, no one dared to underestimate her. Her skills had reached an almost otherworldly level.

Therefore, after weighing everything up, people felt this was, begrudgingly, a fair duel.

Li Siqi looked at Ye Xiao, and by now, she knew she was in a tough spot. Ye Xiao had already stated the stakes, and if she lost, she would either kiss Ye Xiao or, if unwilling, she would have to marry him. Although this sounded utterly absurd and made Li Siqi furious, it was evidently a desperate move by Ye Xiao, who might have worried that Li Siqi would go back on her word. Li Siqi was genuinely angry, as she had never been so embarrassed since her arrival at Liangju Bay.

Moreover, Li Siqi was known for her decisiveness. It was this attribute that allowed her to establish Weihang Club and garner such a following. If she were the type to go back on her word, then even if she were as beautiful as Xishi, Li Siqi doubted she could still be the sole goddess of Liangju Bay.

Li Siqi looked at Ye Xiao, her last shred of rationality suppressing the rage in her heart. Though she wanted to beat Ye Xiao, the issue was that she couldn't actually win against him physically. However, if she did not accept Ye Xiao's terms, wouldn't that be like telling everyone she would refuse to kiss Ye Xiao even if she lost? That would be inconsistent, and clearly not something Li Siqi would do.

So, Li Siqi found herself without a choice. But she believed she would not lose. Within Liangju Bay, no one had ever beaten her on the racetrack. Feng Yang, although a core member of Weihang Club, wouldn't even dare to race with Li Siqi, as her speed was something not even he could match.

"Fine, I agree. If I don't honor the bet, I will marry you. So many witnesses here, I, Li Siqi, always deliver on my promises!" Li Siqi's voice was somewhat cold, but her words made Ye Xiao very pleased. Since Li Siqi had said so herself, then if he won, a kiss from the stunningly beautiful Li Siqi was guaranteed.

After speaking, Li Siqi went straight to her Bugatti Veyron, got in, and then powered away with imposing momentum.

Li Siqi left, and everyone was stunned because she had actually verbally acknowledged and agreed to Ye Xiao's terms. This was truly surprising. At the same time, the male onlookers were utterly envious of Ye Xiao, for he now had the chance to be kissed by the great beauty Li Siqi. It seemed like an enormous pie had fallen from the sky, a pie made entirely of meat. The odds of Ye Xiao beating Li Siqi might be small, but no matter how minuscule or only visible under a microscope, there was still a chance—much like buying lottery tickets. Why do so many people buy them when the odds are so slim? The reason is simple: because there's a chance. As long there's a sliver of a chance, there's a possibility of success.

Ye Xiao, however, was oblivious to all this and didn't know people envied him. He was just a bit puzzled.

Seeing Li Siqi leave, Ye Xiao was immediately confused and asked Jiang Miaoke, pointing at the departing Bugatti Veyron, "Why did she leave?"

"The starting point of Liangju Bay is in the Golden Horse District," Jiang Miaoke said, watching the rapidly speeding Bugatti Veyron and speaking to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao said, "I see, so where does Liangju Bay end then?"

Jiang Miaoke answered, "It ends in Silver Horse District; it's like taking a complete circuit around Liangju Bay."

Ye Xiao was a bit surprised to hear Jiang Miaoke's words and responded, "So that's how it is. That's pretty interesting. The race track in Green Horse District is roughly 3.5 kilometers long, so nine of those tracks would be about 31.5 kilometers. It looks like we only need to run one lap then."

Jiang Miaoke didn't expect Ye Xiao to make such an accurate guess after just one glance. Looking at Ye Xiao, she said, "Your prediction is very accurate, but have you ever considered that you might really lose?"

"Lose?" Ye Xiao chuckled with pride, "Life is like a game, you win some, you lose some. But, gaming's a bit better than life because if you lose in a game, you can always start over and at least, you're not risking your life."

"But have you thought about it? If you really lose today, you won't be able to stay here, let alone the entire Chu City. Whose brilliant idea was it to leave Chu City if you lose?" Jiang Miaoke said with some irritation.

Ye Xiao chuckled, replying, "I said it myself."

"Are you out of your mind? Forget it, you don't even know how good Qiqi's driving skills are. Ah, the recklessness of youth knows no fear," Jiang Miaoke said helplessly.

Clearly, Jiang Miaoke had no confidence in Ye Xiao. In her eyes, how could Ye Xiao possibly win? She believed there wasn't even a sliver of chance for him and that he was bound to lose.

It wasn't just Jiang Miaoke who thought this way; others present shared the same thought, and of course, they weren't concerned with Ye Xiao's success or failure. They were more interested in seeing the beautiful Li Siqi teach this newcomer, Ye Xiao, a lesson.

"You think, if Li Siqi loses, will she really kiss me?" At this moment, the question occupying Ye Xiao's mind was this. He just wanted to know if Li Siqi was a woman of her word, and if she went back on her promise, what could he possibly do to her? It's not like he could just pin her to the ground then and there; that wasn't Ye Xiao's style.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Jiang Miaoke was immediately infuriated and snapped, "You're really something else, what on earth is going on in your head? Have you forgotten? You're supposed to be my boyfriend, even if it's just pretend, but could you at least show some professionalism? Can you not flirt around while you're with me? I'm going to be laughed at."

Ye Xiao replied nonchalantly, "But have you thought about how I feel?"

"What feelings?" Jiang Miaoke curiously responded to Ye Xiao's words.

Ye Xiao said, "I'm your pretend boyfriend, make sure you heard that, pretend. Once you find the person you like, you'll ditch me without a second thought. By then, if I still haven't found a woman I like, won't I be at a loss? Of course, you would generously compensate me with thirty or fifty billion Yan Country Coins, but can that really make up for the trauma to my soul?"

Ye Xiao spoke with a sorrowful expression, and the earnestness in his eyes almost made Jiang Miaoke feel sorry for him, as if he was being greatly wronged, and it was she who was doing him this injustice.

However, Jiang Miaoke quickly noticed a particular phrase.

"What did you just say? I should compensate you with thirty or fifty billion? In Yan Country Coins?" Jiang Miaoke stared at Ye Xiao, raising her voice, "Do you think I run a mint? Even mints don't use up that much paper for thirty or fifty billion, have you lost your mind?" she said with a wry smile.

Ye Xiao replied, "Alright, I'll forget about the thirty or fifty billion, but honestly, don't I look like a normal man?"

"Normal, any man as lecherous as you is certainly not abnormal," Jiang Miaoke dismissed him with a glance.

Ye Xiao answered, "That's right, since I'm so normal, and you, a beautiful woman, are by my side, insisting that I devote all my thoughts to you, how could I, a normal man, not think about you over time? So, I absolutely must devote my excess thoughts to other women. That way, I don't lose control of my emotions someday and do something that, although normal, might cross a moral line, right? I'm also considering your feelings."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Jiang Miaoke looked incredulous, wondering how he managed to sound as if he was doing her a huge favor.
