Chapter 1553: Chapter 1551: She’s My Wife

After dispersing the crowd, Yang Chen and Shangguan Wan’Er got back into the car.

"Give it a try!" Yang Chen said calmly.

Shangguan Wan’Er took a deep breath, recalling Yang Chen’s maneuvers just now, and her arms began to tremble uncontrollably. ℴℴ𝘮

"Can I do it?" Shangguan Wan’Er suddenly asked.

It was the first time she doubted herself so much, she couldn’t help but voice it out.

Yang Chen glanced at her and said in a flat tone, "As a racer, the most important thing is confidence!"

"If you don’t even have the confidence to control your own car, the car won’t give you any confidence either! If you want to succeed, you must manage your mindset. You need to be confident in controlling your heart, body, and mind — only when the three are combined can you perform optimally!"

Shangguan Wan’Er seemed deep in thought.

After a while, Shangguan Wan’Er nodded solemnly.

Taking a deep breath, Shangguan Wan’Er started the car and accelerated out.

This time, the speed was much faster than last time.

"Accelerate! Don’t limit yourself! Plan in your mind how to take the turn and break through!" Yang Chen said coldly from the passenger seat.

Shangguan Wan’Er’s gaze was firm as she continuously accelerated towards the curve.

As she approached the turn, Yang Chen advised in a deep voice, "Shift gears! Slow down! Stick to him while passing!"

Shangguan Wan’Er bit her red lips and sharply turned, darting past close to the inner edge!

Brush!

A perfect tail-slide as she darted past!

"Beautiful!" Those watching exclaimed in admiration.

"As expected of our leader! Truly impressive!"

"Her learning ability is unmatched!"

"I think what the boss said was right! At this speed, this way of cornering — we couldn’t control it and might have hit the inner wall directly! At such high speeds, we’d definitely end up crashing!"

"Better take it step by step!"

"Learning from the basics is best."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After clearing the first corner, Shangguan Wan’Er’s eyes shone with excitement!

She succeeded!

She did it!

Shangguan Wan’Er excitedly looked at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen frowned and said, "Watch the road! At such high speeds, unexpected situations can arise at any moment! You absolutely mustn’t lose focus! Besides, during a race, with so many cars, even a split-second lack of attention could lead to accidents! It’s irresponsible not only to yourself but also to others!"

Shangguan Wan’Er’s expression changed, and she quickly focused intently on driving.

The speed kept increasing.

Of course, as a racer, Shangguan Wan’Er had her own considerations; she didn’t dare to drive as fast as Yang Chen because she couldn’t control herself during the turns.

That first turn gave her some confidence, but it also made her aware of her limits.

Two hundred sixty!

Three hundred ...

Take the turn.

Slow down.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Under Yang Chen’s direction, two beautiful slides swept through the S-curves.

Very quickly.

A lap completed.

Shangguan Wan’Er excitedly shouted to the recorder, "What’s the time!"

"Two, two minutes and fifteen seconds!"

Instantly improved by over ten seconds.

Shangguan Wan’Er couldn’t contain her excitement.

However, she also realized she hadn’t asked about Yang Chen’s time earlier.

Because Yang Chen’s performance was so astonishing, asking for the time seemed pointless.

But now, Shangguan Wan’Er wanted to compare.

Although she knew she couldn’t possibly match Yang Chen’s time, curiosity gnawed at her like a small cat.

"What was your time earlier?" Shangguan Wan’Er couldn’t hold back from asking.

The recorder glanced at Yang Chen sitting in the passenger seat, swallowed hard, and replied tremblingly, "One, one minute, one minute and thirty seconds!"

"One minute thirty seconds!" Shangguan Wan’Er widened her eyes in disbelief.

She knew Yang Chen was fast but didn’t expect him to be this fast!

One minute thirty seconds!

Since this track was established, the fastest record had probably been her own at two minutes fifteen seconds, right?

But she didn’t expect Yang Chen to run it in one minute thirty seconds!

This is indeed a miraculous time!

To the point where this time is something they cannot surpass even if they exhaust their lives.

Shangguan Wan’Er looked at Yang Chen, feeling that he was shrouded in a layer of brilliance — a divine glow.

She isn’t worthy of being called Ningchuan’s car god.

The person before her is the true car god!

"Alright, you’ve learned quite well; keep practicing more in the future! Take me home!" Yang Chen said indifferently.

In Shangguan Wan’Er’s eyes, he seemed to be issuing orders like a high-ranking deity.

"Mm! Sure!" Shangguan Wan’Er nodded obediently.

She told the recorder, "Save this record and keep it at the racetrack as our pride!"

"Yes! Got it!" The recorder hurriedly responded.

Shangguan Wan’Er drove to the gas station inside the racetrack.

After the run just now, the tank was empty.

After all, this way of driving consumes a lot of fuel.

Once refueled, Shangguan Wan’Er drove Yang Chen back to the villa.

On the way, Shangguan Wan’Er occasionally glanced at Yang Chen only to shyly withdraw her gaze each time.

With Yang Chen’s keen awareness, he naturally noticed this; he slightly frowned and turned his gaze out the window.

Shangguan Wan’Er felt a bit awkward not talking, so she said, "Uh... your driving skills are so superb, why not consider racing professionally?"

"Too dangerous, I’m afraid of dying!" Yang Chen stated coldly.

If those under Yang Chen heard this, they’d probably laugh themselves silly.

Afraid of dying?

If everyone in the world feared death, Yang Chen certainly wouldn’t!

Charging on battlefields, dancing on tanks, sprinting on airplanes — he’d done all these dangerous things, each being life-threatening!

Afraid of dying?

It’s simply a joke.

Shangguan Wan’Er, however, believed him and nodded, "Right! This industry is too dangerous; accidents can happen at any moment, and people might die! Over the years of racing, I’ve seen too many!"

Yang Chen didn’t respond.

Shangguan Wan’Er continued speaking, "Well, now with such a good life, why risk it? Racing can just be a hobby; if you ever feel like it, you’re welcome to come to the track to race anytime! I’ll let them know, give you special privileges, no need to queue, you can run whenever you want."

Yang Chen frowned slightly but still replied, "Thanks!"

"No need to be polite!" Shangguan Wan’Er smiled, eyes narrowing.

She glanced at Yang Chen and found his face still cold and indifferent, causing a hint of disappointment in her.

She thought of Ye Xin — the woman who would dull her own shine.

"Are... you and that person a couple?" Shangguan Wan’Er asked tentatively.

Yang Chen took a deep breath, looking at Shangguan Wan’Er and replied, "If you mean the person who came out with me today, yes! She’s my wife!"

Upon hearing the word "wife," Shangguan Wan’Er’s face paled with disappointment, saying, "So you’re married..."
