Chapter 236 Speeding

Zhong Wan readily replied, "No problem, you can rest assured."

The two returned to the car side by side and switched places.

Zhong Wan skillfully adjusted the seat and rearview mirrors, fastened her seatbelt, and then started the car.

Her driving style was clearly different from Lin Yan'an's. She drove smoothly and slowly when she first came out of the parking lot, but once she was on the highway, her speed increased instantly.

Zhong Wan focused on driving, smoothly and at a steady speed on the highway.

Zhong Suisui lay leisurely on the armrest box, swishing her tail contentedly.

Lin Yan'an leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes after Zhong Wan had driven for a while longer.

Perhaps it was because they knew there were reliable people following behind, or perhaps it was because they knew Zhong Wan's driving skills made them feel at ease.

In short, Lin Yan'an was really tired this time. He had just closed his eyes, and not long after, his breathing became regular.

Zhong Wan noticed the movement beside her, glanced at it out of the corner of her eye, and raised her hand to turn the music down considerably.

The car became incredibly quiet instantly.

As night deepened, the number of vehicles on the highway became increasingly scarce.

She glanced at the rearview mirror, looked at the black SUV behind her, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Not long after, Zhong Wan's phone lit up.

She glanced at the sound; it was a message from her mother.

Zhong Wan looked away, gazing straight ahead. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Zhong Suisui's hand close to the phone and whispered, "Suisui, send Grandma a message. Just say..."

She glanced at the navigation and continued, "Just say I'll be home in forty minutes."

【Meow~ I understand.】

Zhong Suisui squatted in front of the phone, raised her paw, and skillfully unlocked the screen. Then she opened the chat, placed her paw on the speakerphone, and sent a message: [Meow~]

Grandma, we'll be home in forty minutes.

He Qilan listened to the voice message on her phone and replied with a smile, "Okay, Grandma knows. What does Sui Sui want to eat? Grandma will make you something to eat."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Suisui's eyes lit up instantly. Its little paws deftly pressed the voice button, and it made its request in a sweet, childlike voice: "Meow~ Suisui wants to eat Grandma's braised pork!"

As soon as it finished speaking, it seemed to be thinking of the delicious braised pork. Its little tongue subconsciously stuck out and licked its little mouth, and its little tail wagged happily because of the anticipation in its heart.

He Qilan's cheerful voice quickly came over: "Haha, Grandma knew Sui Sui liked to eat this. It's already prepared and is simmering in the pot. Sui Sui can eat it as soon as she gets home."

Thank you, Grandma. I love you every year!

Zhong Suisui replied happily, her tail swaying even more lightly.

Faintly, Lin Yan'an seemed to hear Zhong Suisui's joyful voice. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhong Wan, who was driving, and then at Zhong Suisui and the cell phone that was lit up under its paw.

Lin Yan'an raised her hand to rub her slightly sore neck, her voice hoarse from just waking up: "How long have I been asleep?"

Not long after.

Zhong Wan focused on the road ahead, glanced at the time, and replied in a light tone, "It's only been half an hour. How was your rest?"

Although it wasn't a long time, he slept really soundly.

Lin Yan'an turned her head to look at Zhong Wan. In the dim light, her profile, focused on driving, appeared exceptionally gentle.

"Much better."

He responded softly, looked away from the service area sign in the distance, and said quietly, "Let's stop at the next service area. I'll take over driving, and you can rest too."

Zhong Wan shook her head decisively: "Never mind, we'll be home in another half hour."

Lin Yan'an was silent for a moment, then said helplessly, "You... you're always so strong-willed."

He knew that Zhong Wan was also worried about him and wanted him to rest more.

But he also felt sorry for her.

"No way! This isn't about being competitive; it's about maximizing efficiency!"

Zhong Wan's lips curled up slightly as she smiled and said, "Besides, we'll be off the highway soon after the service area, why bother?"

"I know the road conditions there better than you do. I could drive back with my eyes closed, so don't worry."

Her words were reasonable and well-founded. Looking at her smiling profile, Lin Yan'an knew he couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he stopped insisting. However, he still gently reminded her, "Alright then, I'll listen to you."

"Drive slowly, safety first."

"rest assured."

Zhong Wan responded cheerfully, but her gaze remained focused on what was ahead.

Lin Yan'an then withdrew his gaze and looked down at Zhong Suisui.

Looking at its expectant little face, and then at Zhong Wan's phone,

Lin Yan'an reached out and hugged the cat, then picked up Zhong Wan's phone and glanced at it.

After witnessing the conversation between a person and a cat,

He gently scratched Zhong Suisui's chin and said in a helpless tone, "Suisui, it's so late, it's not good to make Grandma prepare food."

Zhong Suisui rolled comfortably in his arms, pawing at his big hand with her little paws, and looked at Lin Yan'an with a confident cry.

【Meow!】

[Sui Sui wants to eat! And Grandma said she's already prepared it; we can't waste food.]

Lin Yan'an was amused by its twisted logic and patted its little belly: "Little glutton, you have quite a few reasons."

He then turned to Zhong Wan and said gently, "Mom has prepared a late-night snack. We can eat it after we get home before going to sleep."

Zhong Wan nodded with a smile: "Okay, I understand."

She gripped the steering wheel with both hands and gently pressed the accelerator: "Hold on tight, I'm going to speed up!"

"Get home early, eat and sleep early!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yan'an clearly felt the car speed steadily increase again.

Seeing that the distance between him and the car in front had increased considerably, Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh silently.

He said helplessly, "Hold on tight, I'm about to speed up again."

After saying that, he stepped on the gas and sped off after the car in front of him.

The car suddenly accelerated, and a strong feeling of being pushed back in its seat came instantly.

Even the seatbelts they wear can no longer provide them with a sense of security.

Xiao Zhao and Brother Wang silently reached out and gripped the handrail on the roof of the car, looking at the car in front.

Brother Wang couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement: "Wow, Comrade Zhong Wan's driving skills... are quite impressive."

He looked at the car in front of him, gripping the handrail tightly with his right hand, his tone filled with amazement.

Xiao Zhao, holding onto the handrail with one hand, leaned to the side and craned his neck, looking at the rear of the car in front of him and muttering to himself, "This speed... is even faster than when I was training."

Brother Wang nodded affirmatively and said, "Fast and steady, Comrade Zhong Wan's technique is really good."

Chen Mo stared intently ahead, his tone flat, but a closer listener could detect the helplessness in his voice: "She was speeding..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhao and Brother Wang subconsciously checked the car's speed.

Then I looked at the car in front of me.

Xiao Zhao scratched his head: "It seems like there's no speed camera here..."

Brother Wang: "Mm."

Chen Mo: "..."
