In recent days, due to Song Ge's suspicion of Zhai Qintian, an imperceptible rift had emerged between Song Ge and Zhai Cheng.
Although neither of them had said it out loud, Zhai Cheng clearly felt the problem.
One day, while working in his office, he suddenly thought of this and couldn't help feeling a bit annoyed.
Suddenly, there came a series of knocks on the door. Then, the young assistant happily pushed the door open and handed over the keys in his hand. "Mr. Zhai, the car you ordered a few days ago has arrived."
Hearing this, Zhai Cheng's lips involuntarily curved up, and all his annoyance vanished.
He stood up abruptly, took the keys from the young assistant, and said considerately, quite uncharacteristically, "You've worked hard."
The car the young assistant mentioned was the one he had ordered not long ago, and it was also a birthday gift he had prepared for himself.
He had been coveting this car for a long time, and now that he finally got it, how could he not be happy?
Thinking about his relationship with Song Ge during this period, Zhai Cheng planned to take her out for a drive to relax.
"Come with me to a place." Zhai Cheng called Song Ge and straightforwardly stated his purpose.
Song Ge frowned. Why did Zhai Cheng suddenly want to take her out? And judging from his tone, he seemed quite happy.
After a brief moment of confusion, Song Ge agreed.
When Song Ge saw Zhai Cheng's new car, she was truly amazed. Although she didn't have any particular requirements for cars, this one really suited her taste.
"I finally got the car today. I'll take you out to celebrate." Zhai Cheng tilted his chin and explained with a smile.
Song Ge understood Zhai Cheng's current happiness and naturally didn't refuse. The two of them drove straight to the place for celebration.
On the way, because of this happy occasion, the atmosphere between Song Ge and Zhai Cheng wasn't too awkward. They chatted casually.
"Watch out for the car in front." Song Ge saw a car in front of them slowing down and nervously reminded Zhai Cheng, who was still chatting.
Hearing this, Zhai Cheng immediately became serious and instinctively stepped on the brake.
However, the car was still speeding forward and showed no sign of stopping at all, even though Zhai Cheng had stepped on the brake all the way down.
Seeing that they were about to hit the car in front, Song Ge panicked and reminded again, "What's going on? Why isn't it stopping?"
At this speed, they were definitely going to hit the car in front.
In a hurry, she glanced at Zhai Cheng and saw that his brows were tightly knitted and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Is there something wrong with the car?" Song Ge realized something and asked tentatively.
Zhai Cheng nodded with a gloomy face. The car's brake was broken, and he had already stepped on it all the way down.
"What should we do? We have to find a way to stop it quickly." Song Ge looked at the approaching car anxiously, and there was also a deep sense of panic in her eyes.
Zhai Cheng took a deep look at the car in front and honked the horn heavily. But the horn only sounded once or twice, and then the sound faded away.
"We're about to hit it." Song Ge's pupils couldn't help but widen as she watched the two cars getting closer.
He couldn't just die in the car like this without knowing why. He had to think of a way to solve the problem quickly.
He turned to look at Song Ge beside him, took a deep breath, and asked inexplicably, "Do you trust me?"
Song Ge felt his seriousness and solemnity. Driven by his mood, she involuntarily nodded and said, "I do."
He seemed confident, so he should have thought of a way.
After getting a positive answer, Zhai Cheng suddenly smiled and quickly turned the steering wheel.
At the last moment before the two cars collided, Zhai Cheng managed to steer their car to the other side, avoiding hitting the car in front.
However, their car already had brake problems, and there were still pedestrians and vehicles coming and going on the road. Zhai Cheng had to keep his nerves tense and carefully avoid those people.
Although Song Ge trusted him, it was her first time experiencing such a situation, so her face didn't look very good.
"Are you wearing your seatbelt?" Zhai Cheng stared straight ahead while still not forgetting to ask about the person beside him.
Song Ge unconsciously tightened her seatbelt and nodded affirmatively. "I'm wearing it."
Zhai Cheng took another deep breath and tried his best to stabilize the car. But after changing lanes at such a high speed, the car was out of control. It was like a wild horse running amok on the road, swaying from side to side.
At first, Zhai Cheng thought only the brake was broken. But as he tried to stabilize the car, he increasingly realized that there were problems with other parts of the car as well.
Otherwise, its balance performance wouldn't be so poor.
A figure suddenly flashed in front of his eyes. Zhai Cheng's pupils suddenly dilated when he recognized the person. Then he shook his head in disbelief and drove the figure out of his mind.
"Sit tight." Zhai Cheng saw that they were about to rush onto the zebra crossing and suddenly said coldly.
Song Ge nodded and didn't say another word.
Whether they could escape this disaster today or not, she trusted him.
A bitter smile escaped from Zhai Cheng's lips. He turned the steering wheel sharply, and the car drove straight towards the roadblock on the side.
Although he knew the brake was broken, Zhai Cheng still stepped on it all the way down. At the same time, he reached out to protect Song Ge beside him.
If nothing unexpected happened, the car should hit the roadblock, so it was useless for him to hold the steering wheel anymore.
It worked. The brake problem was alleviated, and the car's speed suddenly decreased.
Zhai Cheng couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and the big stone in his heart gradually settled.
"Bang!"
Just a few seconds after he felt relieved, the car banged into the roadblock on the side.
Both of them were hit by a huge impact and couldn't help flying forward.
Song Ge was wearing a seatbelt and was protected by Zhai Cheng, so she was only slightly hit by the car seat.
But Zhai Cheng wasn't so lucky. Under the huge impact, his body rushed forward sharply and hit the steering wheel just right.
He fainted instantly.
"Zhai Cheng! Wake up. We're okay. Wake up quickly." Song Ge panicked as soon as she came to her senses. She shook his body clumsily.
The car had stopped after hitting the roadblock, and both of them looked extremely disheveled.
The unconscious person showed no reaction at all.
Song Ge's face turned deathly pale. She called out fearfully again and again.
Just when Song Ge was about to get out of the car to find someone for help, Zhai Cheng suddenly raised his head. His face looked very ugly.
"You're finally awake." Song Ge's tears couldn't help streaming down. Soon, she noticed a problem and added a bit of panic. "Are you hurt somewhere? Why do you look so pale?"
Zhai Cheng propped himself up on the steering wheel for about half a minute before he slowly came to his senses. He absent-mindedly shook his head.
After a few seconds of silence, Zhai Cheng closed his eyes and replied, "The car was a gift from Dad."
