My Silly, Sweet Wife

Phantom shadow!

Qiao Qiushi witnessed for the first time what a true phantom shadow was.

”Xiaoqiao, be careful, there’s a sharp turn ahead!” The earring-wearing man beside her suddenly shouted.

Qiao Qiushi was startled and quickly directed her attention to the front, swiftly turning the steering wheel and lightly tapping the brake with her foot.

This turn was very sharp; even someone known as the Goddess of Cars like Qiao Qiushi had to slow down a bit.

However, at this moment, Ye Guichen’s car had already swept past Qiao Qiushi’s side, not only without slowing down, but seemingly drifting sideways at the turn, almost lifting off the ground in a split second, as if it was airborne.

”Whoosh!”

Like a gust of wind, whipping up a cloud of dust, and speeding away.

Qiao Qiushi was completely dumbfounded.

Her eyes were filled with admiration, sparkling like stars.

That turn just now was too magnificent; even international-level racers might find it hard to pull off.

”This guy is so strong!” At this moment, Qiao Qiushi no longer cared about losing. After the turn, she quickly sped to the foot of the mountain, only to see Ye Guichen’s off-road vehicle with smoke coming from its front, and Shang Wen Dong looking bitter.

The car had clearly exceeded its limits, and the engine was now scrap.

Not far away, a young man named Lao Yu looked awkwardly at Qiao Qiushi.

”Xiaoqiao, we...” The earring-wearing man hadn’t expected Ye Guichen’s driving skills to be so strong and was about to suggest other ideas to Qiao Qiushi when she had already pulled out the car key, jumped out of the car, and headed straight to Ye Guichen: ”A bet is a bet, my car is yours!”

Qiao Qiushi tossed the car key to Ye Guichen: ”And, you’ve passed the first round of the test; you now qualify to run for my brother-in-law. Make sure you seize the chance. Our previous grievances are written off.”

Qiao Qiushi didn’t seem to be even a bit downcast for losing the race; she even patted Ye Guichen on the shoulder, looking quite carefree.

Shang Wen Dong was initially worried Qiao Qiushi would go back on her word, but seeing how agreeable she was, he was somewhat dumbfounded.

Ye Guichen had expected such an outcome. Seeing Shang Wen Dong lamenting over his car, he said mockingly, ”Come on, now we have a sports car, let’s go.”

Then, without any formality, he got into the fiery red sports car: ”I’ll borrow this for a few days; fix my car for me later.”

After saying that, Ye Guichen started the engine again, ready to leave.

He needed the car for convenience, especially in Qinghe where driving Qiao Qiushi’s car opened up many doors.

Shang Wen Dong reluctantly prepared to pull the earring-wearing man from the co-pilot seat so he could sit, but then several car engines roared from behind.

The cars quickly blocked Ye Guichen’s car again.

”Bao, don’t let them leave!”

”That’s right, Xiaoqiao, don’t let them leave!”

These people couldn’t believe Ye Guichen had actually won the race. Seeing Qiao Qiushi truly admit defeat, they were unwilling to accept it.

The earring-wearing man also jumped out of the car and gave Qiao Qiushi a glance: ”Xiaoqiao, my brother will be here soon. Don’t worry, today my brother will definitely stand up for you!”

Qiao Qiushi looked somewhat distressed: ”A bet is a bet, call your brother and tell him not to come.”

”No, Xiaoqiao, don’t be afraid. Even if they can fight, it won’t matter when my brother arrives.” The earring-wearing man hurriedly added, fearing Qiao Qiushi would lose face: ”Don’t worry, this guy won under dubious circumstances. His car must have been modified; you’ve been duped. We won’t spread this around.”

In the earring-wearing man’s view, Qiao Qiushi must have felt embarrassed by losing.

”A bet is a bet, didn’t you hear me?” Qiao Qiushi exploded: ”Also, I said he has the right to compete for my brother-in-law, so if anyone dares stop him today, they are going against me, Qiao Qiushi!”

The crowd was taken aback, exchanging looks.

Qiao Qiushi walked up to Ye Guichen, raising an eyebrow: ”You won today, and I’m sincerely convinced. I’ll definitely seek your guidance in the future. Although you’ve got the qualification to compete for my brother-in-law, it’s still uncertain if you can ultimately become my brother-in-law. Tomorrow, I’ll give you a chance to come to our house and challenge. If you can defeat our family’s experts, you’ll have a chance to pursue my sister.”

Ye Guichen was full of question marks.

What was going on?

He had merely won a racing match. How did it turn into a competition for a brother-in-law?

The earring-wearing man glared venomously at Ye Guichen, seemingly extremely hostile to him, and mumbled: ”Xiaoqiao, you know my brother is deeply in love with your sister. Marrying our two families would solidify the relationship. Now this guy pops up out of nowhere. Who knows what he’s like, just look at his car plate—it’s from some small place like Yun City. Is it really worth it?”

The whole of Qinghe knew that the Qiao Family was seeking a son-in-law. Not only many young talents were vying for it, but even the Qiao Family, one of the Four Great Surnames, was no exception.

This earring-wearing man named Qi Bao was the third son of the Qi Family.

The Qi Family, ranking third among the Four Great Surnames, was prosperous with many male descendants. Besides Qi Bao, he had two older brothers named Qi Hu and Qi Xiong.

The Qi Family was said to be a household of martial arts champions, having produced three martial arts top scholars in the past, recognized by the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Even in modern times, the Qi Family ruled with a martial hand.

Despite Qi Bao’s roguish appearance, he was genuinely a third-rate expert and a strong fighter among the group.

If not for encountering Shang Wen Dong and Ye Guichen, he wouldn’t have been defenseless.

Hence, his first thought was about his second brother.

Qi Bao’s second brother, Qi Hu, was now a second-rate expert and genuinely young and promising, a prodigy. Qi Hu was deeply in love with Qiao Chunhe, Qiao Qiushi’s elder sister, and had sworn to make her his wife, declaring that the Qiao Family’s matters were also his.

However, the Qiao Family was adamant about seeking a son-in-law, making it nearly impossible to acknowledge Qi Hu.

But the Qi Family’s power was immense, and the Qiao Family could only turn a blind eye.

Qiao Qiushi also understood her father’s intentions. Seeing him worried every day, she eagerly sought a brother-in-law for her elder sister, testing candidates through various methods. Whoever passed would become a potential brother-in-law.

Coincidentally, Qiao Qiushi decided to use a racing competition today to select brother-in-law candidates.

She didn’t expect anyone to beat her; as long as someone lost within ten seconds, they would be selected. Unexpectedly, Ye Guichen showed up. Not only did he beat her, but his driving skills far surpassed hers.

Thus, Qiao Qiushi immediately set Ye Guichen as a candidate for her brother-in-law.

After hearing Qiao Qiushi and Qi Bao’s argument, Ye Guichen could fathom the situation, feeling helpless.

Shang Wen Dong looked at Ye Guichen with a strange expression: ”Is this even real?”

He came to rescue Mi Lan, and now he turned into a candidate for the Qiao family’s son-in-law. How absurd!

”Beep beep beep!”

As Qiao Qiushi and Qi Bao argued, a dark blue sports car rushed over.

A person who looked somewhat similar to Qi Bao jumped out of the car.

He quickly strode over to Qi Bao and snarled, ”Who dares bully my sister-in-law, must have lost their mind!”
