So He Was Just Pretending

Originally titled The Overflow (Formerly aloof racing engineer, now powerful wife-devoted tycoon x glamorous little vixen of a racer / SC / HE) Sheng Yuanfei, the little princess of the Western racing scene and a driver known as the "Fairy Queen," is haughty and pampered, with an impressive family background and breathtaking looks. She is never short of men or admirers, and loves splashing money on racing without a second thought. By chance, she spots a boy in a neat school uniform at a bar. He orders nothing but a plate of pasta and quietly reads in a corner. Everyone around them laughs. "Doing homework at a bar? This top student came to the wrong place!" Only Sheng Yuanfei knows that the boy is the country bumpkin brother her sworn enemy's family brought back from the countryside. The country bumpkin has a low standing in his enemy's family. He's withdrawn and keeps to himself. Yet his talent for racing engineering design is terrifyingly impressive. At such a young age, he has already reached the top of the racing engineering field. Sheng Yuanfei has a grudge against her sworn enemy, so she deliberately presses down on the boy's tablet while giving him a flirtatious look. "How about a deal? Be my boyfriend for two months, and I'll call it even with your brother." The boy pulls back his tablet, his face warning strangers to stay away. "I hadn't saved the new racing design I was working on." What goes around comes around. The Sheng family offends someone, and Sheng Yuanfei has no choice but to seek a truce with her sworn enemy. In the extravagant, decadent world of business, the withdrawn boy who once did nothing but think and draw racing blueprints has, in the blink of an eye, gained power and become the hottest new tycoon in the Western scene. The man is refined and aloof, like a cold moon in the sky, impossible to reach. "Miss Sheng, let's make a deal. Let me be your boyfriend now, and I'll help you." Everyone knows how ruthless Shang Mu is, having climbed step by step from the very bottom of the racing engineering world. It is completely at odds with his cool, ascetic appearance. But late at night, when it is just him and Sheng Yuanfei, he pins her against a table covered in blueprints, stubbornly kissing her fingertips again and again, his gaze almost obsessed. "Don't touch anyone else, okay..." Sheng Yuanfei: "Weren't you pretty good at pretending before?" "I won't pretend anymore." Please add my upcoming novel to your reading list! Let's Kiss If You Keep This Up Sharp-tongued, cocky racer who deals with anyone who dares challenge him x seemingly sweet and coquettish female navigator who can handle any arrogant hotshot (Cocky guy and sweet-talking girl who won't be pushed around / SC / HE / sweet romance) As one of the few female navigators on the WRC circuit, Xue Heli is pretty, sweet-looking, and speaks in a soft, sugary voice that makes her seem easy to bully. Her first racing partner is Yuan Che, the most difficult driver on the entire circuit. Everyone on the WRC circuit knows that ten-time champion Yuan Che is a famously tough, no-nonsense man. Not only will he go wheel to wheel with his rivals and taunt them on high-speed, gravel-flying tracks, he also has a mouth that never says anything nice. Nobody can rein him in, and nobody dares try. And yet, in the new season, he's paired with Xue Heli, a female navigator whose voice sounds like she's pouting. Yuan Che's face is full of hostility as he sneers arrogantly. "I don't need a navigator." Other rally drivers and navigators work together with perfect understanding, but Xue Heli and Yuan Che can't stand each other. Even though they take first place in every race, people still make fun of them. "Even if their car went off a cliff, they'd argue before they hit the ground." "The great Yuan Che actually lets a woman tell him where to go? How could a delicate woman like that keep him in line?" One time, Yuan Che gets caught up in a fierce battle on the track. Unable to stop himself from dueling with his rival, he drives faster and faster, charging headlong into danger. Beside him, navigator Xue Heli speaks in a coquettish voice. "Brother Yuan Che, don't get carried away. Left one into right three uphill, right one hairpin, thirty. Watch the apex~" The champion's hands twitch on the steering wheel, and for the first time, he makes a tiny mistake in a turn. "Watch your damn mouth." Xue Heli's voice is soft and alluring, but she imitates his foul language. "You, damn, well drive." Yuan Che: She's so damn soft she'll be the death of me. Later, the sharp-tongued pair Yuan Che and Xue Heli win the world championship as a team. Everyone thinks they'll go their separate ways after the season ends, but the following year, they appear together again, crossing mountains and valleys side by side. Champion Yuan Che's driving style is still wild and aggressive. He keeps wanting to curse on the road, but forces himself to swallow his words. The camera cuts to the inside of the car. Xue Nanhe reads the turns on the course according to their speed, her voice sweet and clear. "Brother Yuan Che, drive steadily and don't curse, okay? You can't beat me at it, anyway." The audience watches in disbelief. "What's going on? Has Yuan Che's habit of mouthing off and charging recklessly finally been cured?" Yuan Che himself: ...There's no helping it. If I curse, I'll have to go home and write an apology. #I close my eyes and entrust my life to you# Content warning: My professional knowledge of rally racing may not be adequate.
