Chapter 294 289: Novice Female Driver Hits the Road

Before Bai Yue could react, Wu Yun's voice came from inside the mask again. "Alright! It's getting late! First, come get something to eat with me. I still haven't had dinner! I started preparing your surprise the moment I got off the plane!"

The tow truck and the salesperson's car slowly drove away from the crowd of onlookers.

Wu Yun pulled open the passenger side door and plopped right in. Seeing Bai Yue still in a daze, he asked, "What's wrong? Aren't you getting in!?"

Bai Yue said hesitantly, "Ah Yun! I'm still a novice! You should drive!"

After that, no matter how much Wu Yun insisted, Bai Yue refused to get into the driver's seat.

Resigned, Wu Yun got out of the car and let Bai Yue get in.

"Lei Lei! You guys keep having fun! Ah Yun and I are leaving now! Remember to save me a spot tomorrow morning!"

The dashboard lit up, and the Ao Lu let out a low roar.

The crowd of onlookers quickly made way.

The Ao Lu and the Mercedes left the area of the academic building one after the other, disappearing around the corner and leaving behind a large group of students buzzing with discussion.

Once they were off campus, Wu Yun finally pulled off the mask and let out a long breath.

"Are you afraid of people recognizing you? You're already so famous anyway!" Bai Yue asked casually, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Wu Yun.

"This is one of the hassles of being famous! If someone snapped a photo of 'Billionaire So-and-So Flaunts Wealth at University, Gifts Girlfriend a Million-Dollar Luxury Car,' what do you think netizens would say? Would there be more people hating on the rich, or more people supporting it?"

Wu Yun's words made Bai Yue nod in strong agreement. But then her expression changed, and she said with a straight face, "Ah Yun, you must have a death wish, daring to film my dad like that! What are you going to do when you see him at home in the future!"

After she spoke, Bai Yue couldn't help but cover her mouth and start laughing.

Wu Yun's eyes darted, and he said slyly, "I'll just say you told me to keep it a secret!"

"Ah! Don't you dare say that! If you do, we're through!" Bai Yue stomped her feet, making empty threats.

"Then you have to agree to a few of my demands!~"

"What demands!?"

Keeping his eyes on the road, Wu Yun said, "..."

"Ah! You're such a pervert!"

...

「Early Saturday morning」

Wu Yun drove to the front of Bai Yue's dormitory.

After waiting a while, Bai Yue and Lei Lei finally came downstairs, their makeup done.

Wu Yun had already told Bai Yue that she would be driving today, so she didn't hesitate and pulled open the driver's side door of the Ao Lu.

"Yueyue! How do I get in?" Lei Lei asked, looking helplessly at the two-door Ao Lu.

"Pull the handle on the back of the seat. The seatback can fold down," Wu Yun instructed the two women.

Just as Bai Yue was ready and about to start the car, Wu Yun stopped her. "Wait a second!"

With that, Wu Yun stuck his head out the window and waved at the Mercedes behind them.

Wang Hao immediately got out of the car and jogged over to Wu Yun. "President Wu, what are your orders?"

"Go get the magnetic 'Student Driver' sign from the trunk of the Mercedes and stick it on the back of our car!" Wu Yun said, remembering the sign he had asked Wang Hao to buy.

Once Wang Hao had attached the sign and gotten back in his car, Wu Yun said, "Alright! Let's go! We're heading to West Mountain Villa first to check out the houses!"

Lei Lei, sitting in the back seat, was flabbergasted by Wu Yun's words. 'As expected of a billionaire,' she thought. 'He doesn't even think about the price when he goes house-hunting.'

'Yesterday in class, Lei Lei had looked up real estate prices in the Capital City to persuade her parents. They ranged from thirty or forty thousand to over a hundred thousand yuan per square meter. Especially inside the Fourth Ring Road, nothing was less than sixty thousand.'

The car merged onto the main road. Since Bai Yue hadn't so much as touched a steering wheel since getting her license, she was only going thirty kilometers per hour in the city, an absolute crawl.

"Proceed straight at the upcoming intersection. Continue for 5.5 kilometers!"

Listening to the navigation's voice, Bai Yue sat up straight and stared out the windshield. She could feel her palms getting sweaty.

Cars behind them kept crossing the dashed line to overtake the slow-moving Mercedes, only to discover there was another car in front of it—an Ao Lu with a "Student Driver" sticker!

When overtaking the Ao Lu, many drivers subconsciously glanced into the driver's seat. Upon discovering it was a beautiful novice driver, much of their frustration instantly vanished.

Only a few drivers cursed under their breath, "Damn rich people! Using a Bentley just to practice driving! They even have bodyguards!"

In the Mercedes behind the Ao Lu, Wei Wu yawned. He kept one hand steady on the steering wheel as he tailed the Ao Lu.

Wang Hao also yawned. The warmth from the car's heater made him drowsy.

He cracked open the window, and a blast of cold air poured in. Wang Hao shivered, instantly awake.

Raising the window slightly, Wang Hao then said with a smile, "Brother Wei! This must be President Wu's third girlfriend, right?"

Wei Wu gave Wang Hao a serious look and said calmly, "It's not strange for rich men to have many wives. We just need to do our jobs. Do more, talk less. That's how you last in this line of work."

Wang Hao laughed awkwardly. "I only said that because I'm chatting with you! I'd keep my mouth shut around anyone else, I promise. I do have that much professional integrity."

Wei Wu glanced at a Wrangler behind them that had its turn signal on, preparing to overtake. Using his peripheral vision, he sized up the driver in the rearview mirror, ready to turn the wheel and block the car at a moment's notice.

After observing for a moment and seeing no threat, he spoke in a flat tone. "The boss's private life is actually pretty tame. Forget everyone else, just look at other rich kids his age. Which one of them isn't out partying and womanizing, swapping out a new girl every time they leave the house?"

"All I know is that when the boss isn't working, he spends his free time at the gym or a fighting dojo. I'm often there training with him. With the boss's skills, as long as he stays in the country, there are very few situations where he'd even need bodyguards."

'Wei Wu remembered their first meeting. He had been able to defeat Wu Yun easily back then, but after sparring together for so long, it would now take considerable effort to beat him if not for his own advantage in weight and strength.'

'Of course, that was for ring-style fighting. If it were Unlimited Fighting or a true life-or-death struggle, Wei Wu was confident he could easily handle an opponent of Wu Yun's caliber.'

Wang Hao also sighed with feeling. "If I didn't see President Wu dating several girlfriends at once, his usual lifestyle would hardly seem like that of a young man. Maybe I just haven't been around enough rich people, but President Wu is the most self-disciplined one I've ever met."

Wei Wu nodded in agreement. "Exactly. It's nothing new for a rich man to have a few wives. Especially overseas—which of those wealthy businessmen doesn't have seven or eight mistresses? The boss is small potatoes compared to them."

Speaking of which, Wei Wu added a reminder, "Wang Hao, it's good that you're carefully observing the boss's lifestyle, but while you're observing, you also need to improve your own skills. In terms of language, for a start, English is a must-know."

"Let me put it this way: the boss will definitely be operating on an international level in the future. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had me recruit my former teammates from abroad."

Hearing this explosive news, Wang Hao felt a strange sense of urgency build within him.
