Chapter 31: Even Schumacher Must Admit Defeat

“…Han Jiangxue?” Su Chen stared blankly, “Where are you headed so early in the morning?”

Han Jiangxue replied irritably, “Catching a flight.”

“You’re catching a flight too? What a coincidence, I’m on my way to the airport myself!” Su Chen said, then he asked with some confusion, “Boss Han, where are you slipping away to for a holiday?”

“Going to Sha City,” Han Jiangxue answered, her face expressionless.

“You’re going to Sha City as well? What a coincidence… Wait, why are you going to Sha City?” Su Chen asked.

“Someone promised to take me to meet Yan Mi, and I waited for days, but that bastard seems to have forgotten all about it… Well, I suppose it makes sense. He’s off enjoying himself with his sister Fuyu, probably doesn’t have a moment to spare for me!” Han Jiangxue sneered coldly, “So, you can’t rely on men. I have to buy my own ticket and go myself.”

Han Jiangxue’s words made Su Chen blush with embarrassment.

“I haven’t forgotten, I remember your orders clearly!” Su Chen hurried to explain, “I just wanted to prepare everything first, then bring you over. It’d save time and effort, and you wouldn’t have to make a wasted trip.”

Han Jiangxue snorted and looked away. “Men’s words are nothing but lies. I don’t believe a word!”

Despite her protest, her tone had softened.

“But I still have to go to Sha City. There aren’t many chances to meet Yan Mi. If I wait for you to arrange it, and then travel from Hang City, it’ll be too late for sure.”

“So I might as well go to Sha City now. Treat it as a little vacation, catch your competition while I’m there, and tour the city. The food in Sha City is legendary!” Han Jiangxue said, swallowing discreetly.

Seeing this, Su Chen could only let Han Jiangxue have her way.

He couldn’t help but think that with the competition coming up and having to look after Han Jiangxue, things might get a bit complicated.

Yet even Su Chen himself hadn’t realized why, instinctively, he wanted to take care of Han Jiangxue…

Because they were traveling far, with lots of luggage, they hadn’t taken the Porsche 918.

Instead, they switched to a Mercedes G-Class.

When Han Jiangxue returned to her room and casually pulled the G-Class car key from her drawer, Su Chen was stunned.

He should have known—what kind of rich second generation only has one car!

A few minutes later, Su Chen and Han Jiangxue, loaded with bags, took the elevator downstairs to the underground parking lot and stowed their luggage in the trunk.

Han Jiangxue naturally took the driver’s seat. Su Chen hesitated for a moment before climbing into the passenger side. With a single press of the gas pedal, the G-Class roared to life and sped toward the airport.

“A nine o’clock flight, we should get to Sha City around eleven. It’s nearly seven now, right in the morning rush. If we dawdle, we’ll have to reschedule.” Han Jiangxue, sunglasses on, looked particularly spirited as she pressed the accelerator.

But after all, girls don’t have quite the same driving instinct as men. Once the G-Class hit the main road, it settled calmly into the traffic queue.

It took only twenty minutes of stop-and-go for Han Jiangxue’s patience to wear thin.

“Why do they keep cutting in front of me?! Can’t they queue properly?! Don’t they see the young lady herself isn’t cutting in?” Han Jiangxue fumed.

Su Chen comforted her, “It’s okay, let’s cut in too!”

“I… I have manners! I won’t stoop to their level!” Han Jiangxue retorted, cheeks flushed.

Hearing this, Su Chen immediately understood: Han Jiangxue wanted to, but her skills were lacking—she didn’t dare cut into the queue!

Han Jiangxue pouted as she watched the cars on either side edge their noses in front of her. She was so aggrieved she was nearly in tears!

If they didn’t hurry, they’d miss their flight!

Just then, Su Chen offered, “How about I drive? This kind of road isn’t for civilized drivers—it takes someone shameless like me.”

“You want to drive?”

“Of course.”

Seeing the jam ahead, Han Jiangxue quickly pulled the handbrake, unbuckled her seatbelt, got out, slammed the door, dragged Su Chen from the passenger seat, and slipped in herself. The entire process was swift and seamless!

“It’s up to you now! My only request is that we safely make the flight!”

“Alright, Boss Han!” Su Chen replied, settling into the driver’s seat. He looked at the stream of cars and a smile crept onto his lips.

He adjusted the seat, released the handbrake, ignored the jam, and shifted back into drive.

Han Jiangxue watched everything, hurriedly buckled her seatbelt, and asked nervously, “What… What are you going to do?!”

“I’ve got no requests! Just calm down, at worst we’ll change the booking!” Han Jiangxue exclaimed.

Su Chen replied confidently, “No need, we’ll make it.”

At that moment, the traffic ahead finally started to move. Su Chen, without even touching the brakes, floored the accelerator!

“Ahhh! Help!” Han Jiangxue closed her eyes and screamed in panic.

But after a long time, she didn’t feel the jolt of a collision.

Curious, Han Jiangxue opened her eyes just a crack. To her surprise, her G-Class was weaving swiftly and smoothly through the dense traffic, as if all the other cars were making way for them.

Han Jiangxue realized it wasn’t the others yielding—it was Su Chen’s impeccable timing at cutting in line that made it seem so!

As the saying goes, even Schumacher would bow to the rush hour traffic.

Su Chen had once been passionate about racing in his previous life, but after his best friend died young from reckless driving, he’d gradually stopped. Yet his skills remained.

Moreover, the speed Su Chen was achieving now would be difficult even for a professional racer—not just because of his driving, but thanks to the car itself.

Don’t misunderstand—it’s not about performance, it’s about price. And everyone knows it’s expensive!

While Han Jiangxue was still marveling, Su Chen deftly turned the wheel and steered the G-Class onto the ramp, exiting the ring highway.

“The ring road isn’t much faster during rush hour. I know a shortcut to the airport—less traffic, but the road’s not great. Bear with it,” Su Chen said.

Han Jiangxue swallowed, still shaken, “It’s… It’s fine, less traffic is better.”

“All right, let’s go.”

The car continued to weave through the city, and after a while, Han Jiangxue dozed off in a haze.

Even when they hit the dirt road, Han Jiangxue slept sweetly.

The G-Class’s suspension was truly superb!

Su Chen could only say, there’s a reason it’s so expensive!

About fifty minutes later, they parked in the lot outside the airport.

Not only did Su Chen arrive on time, he even managed to get them there well ahead of schedule.
