Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 784: Should I Thank You?


"Why... Why do you keep looking at me?" Jiang Miaoke's face turned slightly red as she looked at Ye Xiao, as if he could see right through to her last bit of privacy.

Ye Xiao suddenly burst into laughter and said, "I'm just wondering why you're still standing here when everyone else has already gone to the Golden Horse District. I'm really in a hurry to get to the race."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Jiang Miaoke rolled her eyes at him, knowing that Ye Xiao was teasing her on purpose. Yet, for some reason, the usually eloquent Jiang Miaoke felt her words were not coming out as smoothly today.

Then, Jiang Miaoke drove her blue Porsche quickly toward the Golden Horse District.

Liangju Bay was vast, so the distance from the Green Horse District to the Golden Horse District was quite long.

"Why are you racing against Li Siqi?" Jiang Miaoke suddenly said while driving.

Ye Xiao, hearing Jiang Miaoke's words, knew what she meant and immediately laughed, saying, "Since it's a race, she has to find me a car that can actually run, right? Anything but those electric quadricycles from security will do."

"You're quite confident. But let me warn you, Li Siqi's driving skills are top-notch, and she hasn't been defeated since she started racing!"

"Isn't that perfect?" Ye Xiao grinned proudly.

Jiang Miaoke really didn't know how Ye Xiao could still be confident now.

"What's so perfect about it? You might really lose this time," Jiang Miaoke continued to tell Ye Xiao.

"If I lose, you'll no longer have a fake boyfriend, and naturally, no one will touch your ass and make you angry," Ye Xiao said with a self-deprecating laugh.

Jiang Miaoke immediately slammed on the brakes, and due to inertia, Ye Xiao almost ended up leaning against the car window. He looked at Jiang Miaoke with a puzzled face and asked, "What happened?"

"You know that's not what I meant!" Jiang Miaoke said flatly, not looking at Ye Xiao.

"Don't worry. To continue being your boyfriend, even if it's fake, I have to win. I'm very professional, didn't you notice?" Ye Xiao said to Jiang Miaoke, half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Sighing at Ye Xiao's words, Jiang Miaoke still did not look at him and said, "I will talk to Ruoxi to let you drive her Maserati. It's a pretty good car, and though it falls short in modifications and configurations compared to Li Siqi's Bugatti Veyron, it's the best I can find for you on short notice."

Ye Xiao chuckled, looking at Jiang Miaoke, and said, "It's good to have a girlfriend."

Jiang Miaoke could clearly hear the implication in Ye Xiao's words and snorted lightly before starting the Porsche again.

Since Jiang Miaoke started late and had stopped on the way, by the time her Porsche arrived at the Golden Horse District, everyone else was already there.

Li Siqi was holding a helmet and standing beside her Bugatti Veyron at the starting point, obviously ready to take off.

"Why did you just get here? Qiqi has been standing at the starting point for a long time," Han Ruoxi approached Jiang Miaoke as she got out of the car.

Upon seeing Han Ruoxi, Jiang Miaoke immediately said, "Ruoxi, please help me out."

"What's up?" Han Ruoxi, while talking, glanced at Ye Xiao, who had also gotten out of the car, and said to Jiang Miaoke, "If you're asking me to put in a good word for Ye Xiao, forget it. You know Qiqi's personality."

"No... I'm not asking you to plead for Ye Xiao. It's just that Ye Xiao doesn't have a suitable car, and you know how good Qiqi's Bugatti Veyron performs, so..." Jiang Miaoke said with a chuckle.

Han Ruoxi, catching on to what Jiang Miaoke meant, immediately smiled and said, "You want Ye Xiao to race in my Maserati against Qiqi? Well, you know, although my Maserati is also a good car, it has had few modifications. To fully utilize the Maserati's performance, it would all come down to Ye Xiao's own driving skills. If his skills aren't up to par, he might not even be able to harness three-fifths of its performance, in which case, it would be better to find a more heavily modified and improved car on site."

Han Ruoxi spoke the truth—although her car wasn't bad, it had undergone minimal modifications, and she only used it for leisure driving. So, in a real race, unless someone had superb driving skills, it would be difficult to achieve ideal speed. Most people present were from racing clubs, and their cars had undergone numerous modifications; although there was still a significant gap compared to Li Siqi's Bugatti Veyron, they were at least more manageable than the Maserati.

Jiang Miaoke said, "Then let's ask Ye Xiao. If he's willing to drive your car, let him drive it."
