Chapter 753: One Request
Seeing Zhuang Long, the smile on Xiao Li’s face froze.
Zhuang Long was wearing a rare black loose shirt. The top two buttons were not buttoned, and his exposed collarbone looked enchanting. The shoulders and chest of the shirt were decorated with small white decorations, looking like the starry sky in the night.
Xiao Li stared at Zhuang Long, her vision slightly blurry.
Under the table, someone kicked her gently.
Xiao Li suddenly came back to her senses and stopped being in a daze. She nodded at Zhuang Long and said to him in a calm and cold tone, “You’re here? You’re late.”
Zhuang Long realized that the two of them were sitting opposite each other and not in the same row, so his expression became a little better. He walked over and pulled out the chair beside Xiao Li shamelessly. He sat down and asked Xiao Li, “How long have you been here?” When Zhuang Long said this, his head was away from Xiao Li for a long time.
Xiao Li’s body turned numb.
She tried her best to control her gaze and try not to forget to look at Zhuang Long in black. “I just arrived.” With that, she waited for Zhuang Qilin to sit down beside Bruce before introducing the two men.
“Bruce, this is Zhuang Long, a virologist. He’s my ex-husband and Qilin’s biological father.”
“Zhuang Long, you should know this person. Bruce Gibson, my fiancé.”
/
Zhuang Long said with a fake smile, “Yes, of course.”
Hearing the man say that he knew him with gritted teeth, Bruce looked at Xiao Li meaningfully. Xiao Li pretended to look out of the window.
“I’ve heard a lot about you, Mr. Zhuang. You’re a great man. I’m deeply impressed by your contribution to this world.” Bruce was not a person who liked to smile in private. When he spoke, he always gave people the illusion that even though he was talking nonsense, they would still believe that he was telling the truth.
This person’s appearance was too deceptive.
Zhuang Long could not figure out if Bruce was really praising him or mocking him. He thought about it and said, “Hello, I’ve long heard of Mr. Bruce’s name. I’ve even seen the movie you acted in. I think the movie ‘Twilight Love’ you acted in is especially good.”
After Zhuang Long finished speaking, Xiao Li frowned.
Zhuang Long had seen one of Bruce’s movies for sure. However, had he seen Bruce’s “Twilight Love”? Xiao Li did not believe it.
Bruce’s attitude was calm. He said, “George Cruise acted in ‘Twilight Love.'”
Zhuang Long raised his eyebrows indifferently and said, “Oh, then I’m sorry. I remembered it wrongly. I have slight face blindness. You two look a little similar. I remembered it wrongly.”
Xiao Li’s expression turned even uglier.
George Cruise was a famous and capable actor in Hollywood. What was a capable actor? He was someone who looked mediocre or ordinary and could only compete with his skills. As for Bruce, although he was not extremely handsome, he was still considered handsome and charming.
Zhuang Long’s words…
Xiao Li felt indignant for Bruce. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Bruce say, “It’s okay. It’s fine if Mr. Zhuang can’t remember my appearance. It’s fine as long as Clarice likes me.” Bruce replied to Zhuang Long calmly.
Zhuang Long’s gaze turned cold. He narrowed his eyes.
Xiao Li shivered and looked at him worriedly.
Under the table, Zhuang Long gripped his thigh tightly and told himself to calm down.
He took a deep breath before looking at Bruce and saying, “Let’s order…”
The four of them ordered a few dishes.
During the meal, the four of them chatted and laughed. When the two men chatted, they no longer hid their words and appeared calm. Xiao Li’s tense spirit relaxed a little. Until the end of the meal, Zhuang Long acted normally.
Xiao Li was puzzled. This did not seem like Zhuang Long’s personality…
After the meal, Zhuang Long suddenly said, “Ah Li, take Qilin back first. Mr. Bruce and I have something to talk about.”
Xiao Li subconsciously wanted to reject him.
Zhuang Long’s emotions were unstable. Who knew what he would do? Seeing Xiao Li’s hesitation, Bruce waved his hand and said to her, “Clarice, listen to him.”
Xiao Li could only take Zhuang Qilin away. Before she left, she looked at Zhuang Long hesitantly.
Zhuang Long’s heart softened and he asked her, “You have something to say to me?”
Xiao Li said, “Zhuang Long, you’re not allowed to hurt Bruce.”
Zhuang Long’s face darkened.
He turned around and left.
Bruce shook his head at Xiao Li. Xiao Li said, “Bruce, don’t mess with him. He…” Xiao Li saw that Zhuang Qilin had already gotten into the car and said,” He’s very dangerous. ”
Bruce said, “I know. I’ll pay attention.”
Seeing Xiao Li and Zhuang Qilin leave, Bruce got into his car.
Zhuang Long’s car drove in front, and Bruce drove behind. Zhuang Long’s car drove straight out of the city. When Bruce saw Zhuang Long stop the car, he looked up and sized up the surroundings. Only then did he realize that the car was parked under a mountain road. This mountain road had been banned because of too many accidents.
He suddenly guessed Zhuang Long’s thoughts.
Zhuang Long opened the hood.
He turned back and said to Bruce, “Let’s compete.”
“How?”
“Whoever reaches the top first will win. The winner can ask the loser to do something. No matter what, they can’t reject it.”
Bruce thought about it and said, “That won’t do. You’re crazy, but I’m not. If you want me to die, I have to jump off the cliff?”
“It won’t involve life and death, nor will it involve the bottom line of one’s personality.” Zhuang Long raised his chin at him provocatively and asked, “Do you dare?”
“Come on!”
…
Two sports cars drove out from the same starting point.
This mountain road had been in disrepair for a long time. There were many breaks and bumps on the cement road. The guardrail by the cliff also had places to fall. This was very dangerous. If one was not careful, a car would fall off the cliff, especially on such a night.
At first, Zhuang Long drove steadily. When he reached the curve of the mountain, he suddenly increased his speed. That speed was very dangerous on such a road.
Bruce frowned. Xiao Li was right. He was crazy.
He sped up.
After a while, the two of them drove side by side. Bruce had once acted in a racing movie. His driving skills were not bad, at least not worse than Zhuang Long’s research skills. Zhuang Long curled his lips and increased his speed. Bruce increased his speed.
Zhuang Long’s speed increased from 80 to 100, then to 120.
It gradually increased from 120 to 180.
Driving so fast on such a dark mountain road that he could not figure out the situation was no different from courting death. When he realized that Zhuang Long’s speed had reached 200 mph Bruce’s expression finally changed.
He did not accelerate blindly. He maintained the current speed and arrived at the top of the mountain.
When he arrived at the top of the mountain, he saw Zhuang Long’s car parked steadily on the top of the mountain, while Zhuang Long stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down at the darkness. There were stars in the sky, and that person was dressed in black as he stood on the edge of the cliff, as if he could disappear with the wind.
Bruce was relieved to see that he was fine.
He walked over and came to Zhuang Long’s side. “I lost.” Bruce was convinced. He tilted his head and looked at Zhuang Long. He asked him, “What do you want me to do?”
Zhuang Long’s eyes flickered and his face darkened.
At this moment, Bruce felt that Zhuang Long was a different person.
When the man spoke, his tone was not as exaggerated as before. Instead, he looked calm and wise. He smiled slightly at Bruce and said, “I want you to make her happy.”
