Chapter 298: Chapter 161: You Only Told Me to Sleep With My Eyes Closed, Not to Let Go

What if I leave Master Li?

“Master Li, I’m sorry…”

“No need to apologize to me. It’s your freedom to find someone to check on me.”

“I…”

Jiang Banxia felt even more ashamed, she could already feel the storm approaching.

At this moment, all her emotions burst out.

Li Yang continued, “I didn’t really hide that car. After all, my love for luxury cars isn’t a secret. I just didn’t want too many people to know, especially since I’m a minor celebrity. If others see it, they’ll think, ’Wow, even a small internet celebrity can afford a multi-million luxury car. How would that make all those people who study hard feel?’ I am a public figure, and public figures must be cautious to avoid causing negative social impacts…”

“Ah?”

Jiang Banxia looked up, tears streaming down her face as she gazed at Li Yang.

Tears once released couldn’t be taken back.

Seeing Jiang Banxia like this, Li Yang hurriedly and lovingly said, “Why are you crying? Yes, I shouldn’t be so extravagant. I should understand how hard you earn your money. A multi-million car is too much of a splurge for me. Especially since I haven’t even qualified to buy a house in the Capital City, and yet I extravagantly rented a place with a parking space just for this car, an act of utter indulgence for my own selfish desires… The worst part was that even though I had been drinking at noon, I still thought of driving. It wasn’t until I got there that I realized I couldn’t commit a crime, so I just lay down in the rental and took a nap, causing even Master Jiang to worry, which was an even greater sin…”

“Ah?”

Li Yang reached out to wipe Jiang Banxia’s tears and said, “Alright, stop crying. I was wrong in what I did. I won’t secretly spend money anymore and will save all of it. But since I already bought the car, how about I take you for a spin? Buckle up…”

After saying that, Li Yang started the car and sped off.

At this moment, Jiang Banxia felt like crying and laughing.

Her emotions today were really like riding a roller coaster several times.

Seeing Li Yang’s expression while driving, she didn’t doubt that Li Yang truly liked the car.

But this car had been there since last year’s university opening, and at that time, could Li Yang really have had more than ten million?

Even if he did, would he be willing to spend it on a car?

He is such a penny-pinching guy that he would even sell his notes for money.

Moreover, when writing novels, he shamelessly created groups for big tippers for one-on-one guidance, while those who tipped less got only a token response each day.

Who could be more realistic than him?

Could such a guy, when most in need of money, really spend over ten million on a car?

Who would believe that!

She just realized that her tears were unnecessary.

After thinking the whole matter over, she realized that without those tears, without acting pitiful and wronged, might Li Yang really have confronted her?

Now, Li Yang just found an excuse for everyone to save face.

In the Capital City’s night, almost all the cars on the road were like Li Yang’s, since there’s no chance to drive them in the day, they could only be taken for a spin at night.

From time to time, the roar of engines could be heard.

Gradually, Jiang Banxia’s tense mood eased down.

There was someone else’s scent in the car, she was sure of it.

But she was equally sure there was almost no space for her.

A dozen minutes later, they returned near the apartment, and Li Yang stopped the car.

Jiang Banxia took a deep breath and said, “Master Li, did I almost lose you?”

Li Yang replied, puzzled, “Huh? Didn’t I just secretly buy a car? Is it worth breaking up over? If it comes to that, I’ll sell it tomorrow! Master Jiang, don’t be mad…”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Banxia silently unfastened her seatbelt, opened the car door, and got out.

The slippers made her walk slowly.

She could feel that Li Yang in the car didn’t get out.

She even wished a piece of chewing gum would suddenly stick to her slippers.

However, the ground was unfortunately too clean.

She didn’t care about a car, even if it were ten or a hundred; it was Li Yang’s freedom.

Li Yang spends his money and doesn’t need to report to or seek approval from anyone.

He was just holding onto the last shred of dignity for himself.

Even now, Jiang Banxia didn’t think her money could be more than Li Yang’s, or perhaps Li Yang’s money was many times hers…

Suddenly, she squatted down.

But this time, the familiar figure didn’t appear by her side right away.

As if there was some severance.

But it hurt.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of an engine starting, and she turned to look.

The sound came from Li Yang’s car.

It seemed like in the next second, Li Yang would step on the gas and leave.

She knew the car was fast.

“Master Li…”

She shouted, her voice tinged with panic.

But the car was too soundproof.

If not, Li Yang wouldn’t have suggested talking in the car to avoid disturbing the neighbors.

Jiang Banxia tried to get up, but found her leg was numb and she almost fell.

At that moment, she realized how weak she was, unable to stand for just a moment without her blood vessels tingling.

She wanted to recover quickly before Li Yang drove off.

In the next second, Li Yang’s hand reached out.

Li Yang helplessly said, “I was just a few minutes late, isn’t that okay?”

Jiang Banxia saw the hand and grabbed it.

Li Yang pulled Jiang Banxia up with force, and she took the chance to hug him tightly.

While saying, “Yes, without Master Li, I can’t survive, really.”
