Chapter 1673: Chapter 623: In the Car with Hu Ling...

"Yes."

"Show me one."

Hu Ling swiftly executed a maneuver and performed a drift.

Zhang Jingdong chuckled, "Do you really think that was a drift?"

Hu Ling felt a bit guilty subconsciously, "...I guess so?"

"Get out, and I’ll show you what a real drift looks like!"

Both of them got out of the car and switched seats.

After Zhang Jingdong got in the car, he executed a smooth, impressive drift.

"Now do you know what a real drift looks like?"

Hu Ling nodded with admiration, "I get it, you’re really amazing!"

In the next half hour, Zhang Jingdong first taught Hu Ling how to drift and then explained in detail how to perform drift parking.

After Hu Ling fully understood, she practiced various maneuvers.

As usual, after each of her practices, Zhang Jingdong pointed out various deficiencies, and Hu Ling made improvements in her subsequent practices.

After another half-hour, Hu Ling finally mastered the skill completely.

Zhang Jingdong, appearing satisfied, said, "Hmm! Not bad! You’ve already mastered this skill to such a level in such a short time, that’s quite impressive!"

"As always, you must continue to practice diligently and consolidate your skills."

"Remember, only through rigorous practice can you thoroughly master it, ensuring you won’t make mistakes due to nervousness when performing in front of others in the future."

Hu Ling nodded in agreement, "Yes, I’ll remember!"

Zhang Jingdong stretched lazily, leaning back in his seat, "Alright, since you’ve learned it, can I bring up the small favor we agreed on before?"

Hu Ling’s heart tightened instantly.

She vaguely guessed what request Zhang Jingdong might make from his current demeanor.

But since she had already agreed before, and Zhang Jingdong had just taught her wholeheartedly, she indeed mastered those top-notch driving skills.

So she hesitated a bit, then said, "...Okay."

Zhang Jingdong sighed, "You really can handle it, since that’s the case, I won’t make it too difficult for you, lean over."

Hu Ling pursed her lips, then leaned over.

Zhang Jingdong whispered something in her ear, causing Hu Ling’s cheeks to blush bright red instantly.

"You... You’re saying you’re not making it difficult for me, yet your request is too much!"

Zhang Jingdong folded his hands behind his head, "You can’t accept that? Hu Ling, how will you continue to learn other skills from me in the future? Don’t you want to learn kung fu, singing, or even horse riding and golf from me?"

Upon seeing Hu Ling seemed tempted, Zhang Jingdong continued, "The most critical thing, Hu Ling, is that trust is the foundation of all. You agreed to this straightforwardly before, and I earnestly taught you those car skills."

"But now, I’ve just finished teaching, and you’re already going back on your word, is that appropriate?"

Zhang Jingdong deliberately paused for two seconds before saying the last sentence, "Alright, if you really can’t accept it, never mind, since you’re Song Yunshan’s cousin, I’ll let it slide this time. You can drive me back."

At this point, Hu Ling finally, with a mix of shame, resentment, and helplessness, said, "...Fine, I... I promised you, after all."

With that, she steeled herself and began to comply.

"Congratulations, Host, on successfully completing the lesson under special circumstances, reward of 1 million yuan!"

For the next half-hour, Zhang Jingdong occasionally glanced at the distant wilderness scenery, at the Land Rover almost out of view through the rearview mirror, or helped Hu Ling adjust her hair.

The sense of achievement within him gradually peaked again.

He thought it was quite remarkable that Hu Ling, as a novice, performed so well, so he rewarded her with a bottle of Life One.

Five minutes later, Hu Ling finally got everything in order.

She turned her head and, with a resentful tone, said, "Zhang Jingdong, you’re such a jerk!"

Zhang Jingdong wasn’t angry at all; instead, he smiled and nodded, "Indeed I am a jerk, but I believe one day you’ll fall for this jerk!"

"I... I won’t! Even if all the men in this world were gone, I wouldn’t like you; you’re simply awful!"

"Haha, they say men are good at saying the opposite of what they mean, but it’s actually you women who are the best at it in this world."

"Alright, you drive me back, and later you need to practice thoroughly."

Although Hu Ling didn’t want to listen to him now, she wanted even less to stay with him, so she swiftly drove away from the location.

Ten minutes later, they returned to their original spot, but Hu Ling, not wanting to face Song Yunshan, parked the car by the roadside.

At this moment, Zhang Jingdong quickly ruffled Hu Ling’s hair, leaving behind the unexpected remark, "Hope you like it."

Then he got out of the car and headed straight for the Land Rover not too far away.

Hu Ling watched Zhang Jingdong’s figure receding into the distance, feeling momentarily stunned, then pouted, "Hmph... so annoying, even leaving with a mysterious air!"

She said, wiped her mouth with a wet wipe, and prepared to drive off.

But at that moment, she suddenly noticed a diamond necklace around her neck out of nowhere!

Instinctively, she looked back at Zhang Jingdong.

She saw that rascal getting into the car, honking once in her direction, and then driving away.

As she watched the black Land Rover disappear into the distance, she hesitated for a while, then carefully took off the necklace.

After examining it closely, she finally noticed the small inscription on the diamond, "love ling."

She instantly felt a heavy thud in her heart, as if pierced by an arrow.

After a while, an inexplicable joy appeared at the corners of her mouth, and for some reason, she put the necklace back on.
