Jiang Churan saw through Xu Yan's hesitant shyness and Shen Shuang's awkward concern; her heart was as clear as a mirror.
However, she didn't say anything, only tightening her grip on Jiang Cheng's hand.
Seeing the three Girls speak up, Han Anning wanted to say something too, but remembering how Jiang Cheng had just ignored her, she couldn't bring herself to lose face...
She pinched her palm hard, forcing herself to stay put, only using those charming eyes—now filled with complex emotions—to gaze deeply at Jiang Cheng.
When had she, Han Anning, ever been so cautious in front of a man?
But it just had to be Jiang Cheng.
Seeing the eyes of the four top-tier beauties glued to Jiang Cheng, some of the men on the field felt a hint of sourness in addition to worrying for him.
Shen An nudged Jiang Xin's waist: "Damn... Xinzi, did you see that? The way Brother Cheng is treated... Sister-in-law Chu Ran aside, Xu Yan and Sister Shuang... they clearly also... and that Han Anning, her eyes are practically dripping with affection! Damn it, we all have a head on our shoulders, how can the gap between people be this big?!"
Jiang Xin already had feelings for Han Anning, and when she took out her phone to add everyone on WeChat earlier, he had noticed something was off.
Now, looking at Han Anning's expression, he could only secretly shake his head.
He very decisively gave up on his pursuit of Han Anning.
Especially when he heard the part about 'a head on the shoulders,' he instantly recalled the donkey-sized 'head' he had seen on Jiang Cheng when they were at the hot springs.
In terms of status, he couldn't compare to Jiang Cheng, and in terms of that 'head,' his was a whole circle smaller.
So, if he didn't give up, wouldn't he just be looking for humiliation?
Jiang Xin replied sourly: "Everyone says women are gold-diggers, but can you blame them? Brother Cheng is handsome and rich; forget women, even men would like him..."
"Holy shit, you..."
"What 'you'? Not including me, of course..."
As soon as Jiang Xin finished speaking, Han Anning's feet couldn't help but run toward the track.
Just as Jiang Cheng opened the car door and sat inside, Han Anning appeared by his window.
She was panting slightly, one hand gripping the window frame.
Leaning down, her bright and gorgeous face was now filled with undisguised worry.
Lowering her voice, she spoke quickly to Jiang Cheng inside the car: "Jiang Cheng, don't push yourself! If you lose, you lose; just give him the car. Just make sure you stay safe!"
Seeing it was Han Anning, Jiang Cheng's hand, which was about to fasten the seatbelt, paused. He turned his head, meeting Han Anning's concerned and slightly urgent eyes at close range.
The corners of his mouth curled into a confident arc, his tone relaxed yet certain: "Oh, caring about me this much?"
Han Anning's face turned red, and she said stubbornly: "I'm just afraid you'll lose. After all, you're my last hope right now."
"Lose? Me, lose?"
Looking at his appearance, Han Anning's heart stirred, and a bold thought flashed through her mind.
Her eyes rippled with a sudden flash of craftiness. She also lowered her voice to a volume only the two of them could hear: "Fine, since you're so confident, how about we make a bet too?"
"Oh?" Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow, his interest piqued. "What's the bet?"
Seeing Jiang Cheng agree, Han Anning's gaze flickered subtly toward Jiang Churan, who was watching anxiously from not far away.
She then quickly focused back on Jiang Cheng's face, her red lips parting slightly with a seductive provocation: "If you lose..." She paused intentionally, her eyes enchanting, "I'll punish you by making you kiss me."
Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, holding back the smile that was about to break out.
He looked at her with a sharp gaze: "Why do I feel like... you're doing this on purpose? This stake has no sincerity at all. Since it's impossible for me to lose, it's impossible for me to kiss you?"
Han Anning couldn't quite understand what Jiang Cheng meant at this moment.
However, things had already reached this point.
She couldn't just leave after flirting halfway.
That would be embarrassing to death.
Biting her lower lip, she braced herself to finish what she had to say.
Her voice was even lower than before: "I haven't finished yet... If you win, then I'll kiss you."
Jiang Cheng was completely amused by her 'no-lose' logic.
Some of Han Anning's actions were indeed quite uncontrollable.
But at a time like this, with a playful pink-haired Girl saying such things to you, what man wouldn't be charmed?
Even though he was charmed, Jiang Cheng didn't show it.
Jiang Churan and the others were still watching him from the stands.
Jiang Cheng shook his head: "Heh, why do I feel like I'm being played? However, I'm a man with a girlfriend. This bet, whether it's you kissing me or me kissing you, doesn't seem very appropriate, does it?"
Han Anning gave a soft huff upon hearing this.
Instead of backing away, she met his scrutinizing gaze with even bolder and more burning eyes, her voice becoming increasingly soft.
"It's not like you only have one girlfriend, so don't pretend in front of me. Besides, I didn't say I'd kiss you openly... I can kiss you secretly. Isn't that what you like best?"
After saying that, she didn't wait for Jiang Cheng's response before straightening up.
She took a step back and gave Jiang Cheng a provocative look.
"Good luck."
Watching her pink hair sway as she turned away, Jiang Cheng shook his head with a helpless smile and said nothing more.
He skillfully started the engine.
The bugatti nights sound immediately let out a deep and powerful roar, like a beast ready to pounce.
Han Anning's posture as she leaned close to Jiang Cheng and Jiang Cheng's helpless, slightly smiling expression naturally fell into the eyes of Jiang Churan, Shen Shuang, and Xu Yan nearby.
Shen Shuang gently nudged Jiang Churan with her elbow.
With her chin slightly raised, she looked in Han Anning's direction and whispered.
"Ranran, look at that Han Anning... Why do I feel like she's a bit too 'concerned' about your Jiang Cheng?"
Xu Yan also frowned slightly and echoed softly: "Yeah, what is she saying to Jiang Cheng? They've been talking for so long."
Jiang Churan gave the seductive Han Anning a faint glance before turning her worried gaze back to Jiang Cheng.
Her beautiful face didn't show the jealousy Shen Shuang had expected.
Instead, she showed a knowing and slightly helpless smile: "A man like Jiang Cheng will definitely attract many excellent women."
Perhaps due to a guilty conscience, Xu Yan felt like her own name was being called when she heard this.
She spoke up to comfort her, masking her feelings: "That's true. Oh well, it's okay. Even though she's beautiful, has a great figure, and seems to be quite high-level, you still win in terms of charm..."
Shen Shuang nodded and added: "...Exactly! And she's only one person, while there are three of us here! Unity is strength. Ranran, rather than letting other women get close to Jiang Cheng, why don't you just let the two of us be the 'other women'? Don't you agree?"
This wasn't the first time Jiang Churan had heard Shen Shuang and Xu Yan say such things.
