Chapter 288 Let's Part Ways Amicably



After all, she could tell that the car was coming for her, and she couldn't let innocent people get hurt because of her.

But how could she possibly be faster than a car?

I had barely gotten up and taken two steps when the roaring sound came rushing up behind me.

When she was only a dozen meters away from the car, at a critical moment, a car suddenly rushed from the other side of the road and knocked the car that was hitting her away.

"Bang!"

Upon hearing the loud noise, Li Ruo's pupils suddenly contracted, and she instinctively turned around in surprise.

What came into view was a black Bentley. After slamming the offending car to the side of the road, the Bentley did not stop, but instead rammed into it again at an even more ferocious speed.

After being hit several times, the car was completely totaled.

But the people in the car didn't dare to stop. They immediately stepped on the gas and drove away from the scene, swaying precariously.

At this moment, Li Ruo was completely stunned.

She was starting to lose track of the situation!

While she remained silent, the Bentley's door suddenly opened, and then a long, slender leg appeared before her eyes.

"Shirakawa?"

When she saw the other person's face clearly, Li Ruo was startled and involuntarily exclaimed.

How did this guy end up here?

Upon seeing her, Shirakawa's handsome face broke into a smile: "Are you alright?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ruo subconsciously shook her head and said gratefully, "Thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid..."

She didn't say anything more, but just sighed heavily.

Although she didn't have a good impression of Shirakawa, she could still distinguish right from wrong.

She remembered the kindness of the person who had risked their life to save her.

Hearing her sincere tone, Shirakawa's expression flashed, and he suddenly raised an eyebrow, revealing his previous nonchalant demeanor: "How was I? Was I handsome just now?"

Seeing that he had quickly returned to his usual unserious self, Li Ruo helplessly pursed her lips, speechless for a moment.

At a time like this, he's still thinking about whether he's handsome or not.

Besides, she hadn't recovered from the fright she'd just experienced, so she had no time for jokes and waved her hand, saying, "Don't tease me, my legs are still weak from fright."

The moment the car drove by, her heart nearly jumped into her throat; she had no time to think about anything else.

But Shirakawa was even more unconvinced: "It's precisely because I appeared at your most vulnerable moment that my coolness is even more apparent, don't you understand?"

It appeared in a timely manner.

Upon hearing this, Li Ruo suddenly paused, then looked up thoughtfully: "Right, you appeared just in time again. Did you install a tracking device on me? How come you can always detect me the moment I'm in danger?"

She said it jokingly, but the seriousness in her eyes was impossible to hide.

If it were just a coincidence once or twice, that would be one thing, but it seems that every time she encounters this man, it's when she's in trouble.

"this……"

Seeing the wariness on her face, Shirakawa snorted and was about to speak.

But the next moment, a deep voice rang out behind them: "What are you talking about?"

Upon suddenly hearing the familiar voice, Li Ruo's breath caught in her throat. She subconsciously looked up and was caught off guard by the man's deep eyes.

"Wen Huaiyan?"

Why is he here?

Realizing this, Li Ruo's entire body tensed up uncontrollably, as if she felt a strange sense of constraint.

Upon seeing her, the other person couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

Upon seeing this, Li Ruo's body stiffened, and she had no time to react. Like a mouse seeing a cat, she instinctively turned around and tried to run away.

But Wen Huaiyan had anticipated her actions and immediately strode over and grabbed her arm.

"Let me go?"

The moment a sharp pain shot through her wrist, Li Ruo's face turned deathly pale, but she still stubbornly turned around and roared at the man.

Wen Huaiyan had finally found her, so naturally he couldn't let go. He smirked and said, "Impossible. You can forget about leaving me again."

Hearing his domineering words, Li Ruo felt even more suffocated. She snorted coldly and said, "Forget about it. I will not go back with you."

The thought of being imprisoned and deprived of her freedom after returning home sent a chill down her spine.

However, Wen Huaiyan misunderstood her meaning. Upon hearing this, he immediately glanced at Bai Chuan beside him and said sarcastically, "If you don't come back with me, do you want to go home with someone else?"

Li Ruo was startled, not expecting to be misunderstood, and followed his gaze to Bai Chuan.

Perhaps displeased at being interrupted, Shirakawa's handsome face now held a rare hint of coldness, a stark contrast to his previous smile.

But Li Ruo couldn't care less about that now. She took a deep breath and flung Wen Huaiyan's hand away: "Since you've already seen it, I won't hide it anymore. I do like him more."

As she spoke, she slowly raised her head, meeting Wen Huaiyan's gaze, which had clearly turned cold because of those words: "I've already said before, I want to end this cooperation. Let's part ways amicably!"
