May your wishes come true.

Chapter 20 The Private Sprint Sets Sail

The ten-month weather, a breath of wind passing by you,

Biting the sweetness of love like a sandwich chocolate,

Even the lazy cat secretly watches you,

Unable to resist your beauty...!

A warm and sweet song, "Love is Beautiful," was sung out of tune by Liang Minfeng, making it a mess. Li Haochen and the other two covered their ears, but it was useless. The harsh and grinding sound seemed to have its own penetrating property, continuously tormenting the three.

"What the hell, Old Four, is your forehead caught in something!"

"Stop, stop, stop, I can't take it anymore!"

"Tch, you can't appreciate anything. What beautiful and melodious notes! It's as if the air around is dancing with my wonderful music...!"

Liang Minfeng, with his thick face of several inches, felt no shame at all and continued to perform with all his might.

"I never thought the one to find a partner the fastest would be this perverted guy. Oh heavens...!" Chen He and Liu Dehui complained about the unfairness of heaven, looking at this pig with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"You guys probably need to stage a hero saving the beauty to achieve that. Look, Old Four carried a girlfriend back in one go, hahaha...!" Li Haochen said with a smile, "Go for it, young man!"

Upon hearing this, Chen He and Liu Dehui immediately became spirited. They squatted on the ground and whispered to each other, seemingly planning some mischievous idea.

Li Haochen wore a speechless expression and said, "Class is starting, let's go!"

"Not going. We're discussing a grand plan. Cover my attendance, alright!" Chen He's voice floated out, still squatting on the ground, his expression cunning as he thought of something.

"Attendance covered +1..."

"+1...!"

"I... I really have a big mouth!" Li Haochen slapped his own mouth, utterly helpless.

...

"..."

Li Haochen arrived at Bin Da's Music Fountain Square. He saw that the central area was crowded and completely surrounded. Driven by curiosity, he squeezed his way in.

A stylish man wearing Prada seven-tenths tailored casual pants and a black short-sleeved shirt with blue trim, and a Patek Philippe automatic watch with a logo on his wrist, stood holding flowers beside a golden Lamborghini Aventador.

"Yanran, happy birthday. This is for you."

"Wow, so dazzling! This diamond necklace is too beautiful, I want one too."

"You? Save it. Do you know how much this necklace costs? This is Cartier's latest model this year, with a global limit of 30 pieces, each with a unique marking, worth 15 million."

Various envious and jealous voices erupted from the surroundings, making Murong Yanran, who stood in the center, somewhat displeased. She did not accept Mu Shaoyang's gift and said with a frown, "Mu Shaoyang, take these away. I need to go to class."

Mu Shaoyang awkwardly retracted his gift, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, but he still smiled warmly, looking harmless. "Yanran, I just wanted to celebrate your birthday and give you a surprise. If you don't like it, I'll have people take these away."

"Qinglong, tell the brothers to take these away." Mu Shaoyang shouted to the few lackeys cheering him on from the side.

After Mu Shaoyang gave his instructions, he opened the sports car door and made a gentlemanly invitation gesture, "Yanran, I've already arranged a birthday party at the Sri Lanka Grand Hotel. Uncle Yan and the others will be there soon, let's go...!"

"My dad and them are going too?" This sentence undoubtedly hit Murong Yanran's sore spot. She glared at Mu Shaoyang angrily, "Mu Shaoyang, I'll say it again. No one can force me before graduation, including my dad and them. I'm not going. Move aside!"

Murong Yanran tried to bypass him and leave, but Mu Shaoyang reached out to block her, still with a smiling demeanor. "Yanran, you should still go. The elders have important matters to announce today. You have to go even if you don't want to."

With that said, Mu Shaoyang reached out and roughly pulled Murong Yanran into the sports car.

"Ah, you... Mu Shaoyang, what are you doing? Let go of me."

Murong Yanran clearly did not expect Mu Shaoyang to be so forceful and immediately panicked.

"Let her go...!"

"Bang~!"

As the words fell, the punch arrived. Li Haochen fiercely smashed a punch into Mu Shaoyang's face, then pulled Murong Yanran's small hand, revealing a cunning smile, "Run quickly."

"Ah, who the hell dares to hit me...!" Mu Shaoyang lay on the ground in pain, roaring loudly.

Qinglong and the other lackeys who were still removing props and equipment, hearing their master shout, quickly ran over.

"Young Master Yang, what happened?"

"Who the hell dares to provoke the tiger? Young Master Yang, did you see clearly? If I don't break his dog legs, I'm not Qinglong!" Qinglong shouted furiously.

"I saw it clearly, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and find him...!" Mu Shaoyang touched his burning and swollen cheek, his eyes bloodshot, cursing through gritted teeth.

"You damned slut, after I devour your entire family, let's see how you'll act high and mighty. When I get tired of you, I'll throw you out for others to play with, damn it!"

Mu Shaoyang's eyes were sinister, thinking twisted and perverted thoughts in his mind.

"Hoo~ Yanran, they probably won't find us here!"

Li Haochen, pulling Murong Yanran, found a place they thought was hidden, and kept looking around nervously.

"Ring ring ring...!"

A hurried phone ring brought the two, who had just calmed down, back to a state of tension.

"It's my phone...!" Murong Yanran said softly, her face flushed.

"Oh, then answer it!"

Murong Yanran lowered her head, looking at the hand that was being held tightly, unsure how to speak.

"Ah, sorry, sorry!" Li Haochen realized it just then and quickly released Murong Yanran's small hand.

"Hello, Dad... No, I'm not coming back...!"

Murong Yanran's eyes were slightly red, tears welling up. She covered her face, bit her lip, and crouched on the ground, weeping aggrievedly.

"Yanran, you...!"

Murong Yanran wiped her eyes, her face pale. She forced a smile and said, "I'm fine!"

"How about I take you for a drive? The wind feels so comfortable, and it makes you feel better!" Li Haochen said with a smile.

"Okay!" Murong Yanran also wanted to go out and clear her head. After thinking for a moment, she agreed to Li Haochen's suggestion.

...

Li Haochen cautiously led Murong Yanran to his cool three-wheeled vehicle. He patted the seat next to him and said with a smile, "Get on!"

"Can... can I sit?"

Murong Yanran looked at the three-wheeled vehicle, her expression confused, wanting to laugh, but she still got on.

"Hold on tight, here comes the elopement express!"

"Pfft~, Elopement... Elopement Express?" Murong Yanran gave a speechless wry smile.

"Yes, doesn't it feel like eloping right now? A poor guy driving a tricycle with a rich girl eloping. If this were written into a novel, it would be amazing, hahaha!"

"Okay, let's elope then...!"

Amused by Li Haochen's teasing, Murong Yanran's mood also improved considerably.

"Wow, I really didn't expect this to be so comfortable!"

Murong Yanran closed her eyes, feeling the uninhibited wind. Her mood seemed to have improved a lot at this moment.
