Within the space of a thought, the idea of saving the girl popped into his mind. His body seemed to automatically summon the power of the "Xīxīng Dàfǎ" (吸星大法). A gust of wind swirled up from the ground, and the Audi TT, under the influence of the "Xīxīng Dàfǎ," screeched to a halt a mere ten centimeters from the girl!
The scene terrified everyone around. They got out of their cars to condemn the young man driving the Audi TT. The girl, pale with fear, felt her body go limp, only managing to stand with the help of two people.
However, she had perfectly captured Ren Yuanhao saving her. Though she couldn't explain how he had done it, it didn't diminish her gratitude towards him.
But when she could finally stand on her own and wanted to thank Ren Yuanhao, she saw a Jeep enter the adjacent lane and speed away.
The joy of saving a life was quickly replaced by the frustration of being late for his date. He knew too well how much psychological pressure lateness could cause a girl and how it would directly affect the rating of this order. If lateness alone resulted in failing to meet the intimacy goal, or even a bad review, then his livelihood…
He shook his head, flooring the accelerator, pushing all other thoughts away as he sped towards the red dot on the map in his mind.
…
Meanwhile, Ouyang Rui, who had ordered a latte at Starbucks, checked her watch for the tenth time.
“He said he’d be absolutely punctual, but he’s already five minutes late, and I haven’t seen a soul. Could someone be playing a prank on me?”
As she mumbled to herself, a gust of wind carrying the scent of sunshine stopped about half a meter in front of her.
“I’m very sorry, something came up on the road. Please forgive me.”
Ren Yuanhao extended his hand, testing the refined woman in the sheath dress before him, wondering if she was angry about his five-minute delay.
Unfortunately, the woman merely lowered her head, taking a sip of her latte. Judging by her slightly trembling shoulders and tense posture, she was indeed angry.
Ren Yuanhao sheepishly retracted his hand. Just as he was about to sit down in front of her, he heard her say coldly, “You’re already five whole minutes late for your first order. It seems your company only talks a good game. Do you know how much can be done in five minutes? Especially on a date, keeping a girl waiting for five minutes is incredibly ungentlemanly. This shows that your company’s credibility isn’t great either!”
“It was indeed my fault. I apologize, but there was a reason, I…”
“Stop, stop! Making a mistake and then making excuses to deflect blame. You’ll be fired by your company sooner or later!”
As Ouyang Rui spoke with her head down, her phone suddenly rang. She fumbled for her phone in her bag, expecting it to be her mother urging her again. To her surprise, it was the little informant who provided her with information.
She ignored Ren Yuanhao and lowered her head to answer the call.
“Little informant, got new news?”
“Yes, Sister Rui. Guess what just happened to me?”
“I’m not a god, how would I know?” Ouyang Rui was still angry and in no mood for games.
“You’ll definitely be interested in this. I was almost hit by an Audi TT!”
Ouyang Rui furrowed her brows, replying with a hint of anger, “Silly girl, you’re still laughing so exaggeratedly after a near car accident. Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, Sister Rui. Don’t you want to know who saved me?”
“Don’t tell me it was Ren Yuanhao?”
The moment Ouyang Rui uttered the name ‘Ren Yuanhao,’ Ren Yuanhao, standing opposite her, seemed to vaguely guess something. However, what he couldn’t understand was how this woman knew his name.
Could she be from Lionheart Group?
With this thought, Ren Yuanhao felt a desire to retreat. But considering the severe consequences of failing the order, he hesitated.
The phone call was not over, and the little informant on the other end was almost shouting with excitement, “Sister Rui, you guessed correctly!”
“How is that possible! Are you with him now?”
A faint blush clearly crossed Ouyang Rui’s face, as bright as peach blossoms in March.
“No, he used some method to save me, then got into a Jeep and drove away as if he were in a hurry.”
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Rui habitually glanced outside. Her gaze suddenly changed, and her heart pounded like a startled deer. Since it wasn’t a holiday, the parking spots belonging to Starbucks weren’t full. Among them, a large Jeep was parked in a very conspicuous spot. Looking through the windshield, there was no one inside.
Ouyang Rui suddenly became extremely flustered, her voice lowered significantly, “Do you remember the license plate number of the Jeep you mentioned?”
“Yes, the last three digits were 532.”
Ouyang Rui looked at the Jeep with license plate ending in 532 parked before her. Her heart rate accelerated. Clutching her phone with one hand, she accidentally hung up, completely forgetting the ‘customized boyfriend’ she had hired.
She suddenly stood up, her eyes fixed on the Jeep. Just as she was about to leave, her peripheral vision caught sight of the man waiting for her forgiveness. For a moment, her heart skipped a beat. If Ren Yuanhao hadn't acted quickly, she would have collapsed to the ground!
“Ren… Ren Yuanhao?”
“That’s right, I am your customized boyfriend, DiDi脫單 (DiDi Tuōdān – DiDi Matchmaking) service provider Ren Yuanhao. I’m very happy to be of service.”
Although Ren Yuanhao was a bit bewildered, he remained professional and didn’t ask further questions. As for whether she was from Lionheart Group, he would have an opportunity to probe later.
At this moment, Ouyang Rui was breathing heavily, as if a fan had met her idol. Ren Yuanhao’s masculine aura enveloped her like a powerful presence, making her more mesmerized, her mind completely captivated.
Fortunately, there were no subordinates from the Ouyang family’s group around. Otherwise, seeing the usually fiery, strict, and stern Ouyang Rui panting and blushing like this would likely become the company’s biggest news story.
“You, you are really Ren Yuanhao?”
“Authentic and genuine.”
“That’s wonderful!”
Ren Yuanhao had no idea that Ouyang Rui had fallen deeply in love with him at first sight the previous day. Last night, she had tossed and turned, her heart filled with an unprecedented infatuation for Ren Yuanhao, beyond her control.
“Miss Ouyang, are you alright? Why is your body so hot?”
“I-I’m fine. I’m just a little excited. I spent all day looking for you through someone, and I never expected to meet you under such a misunderstanding. It’s truly awkward.” Ouyang Rui’s tongue was somewhat tied. The usually decisive and sharp-tongued Ouyang Rui seemed to have completely surrendered, transformed into a different person.
“It is my dereliction of duty to keep a beautiful lady waiting…”
As Ren Yuanhao was about to apologize, Ouyang Rui covered his mouth with her slender fingers.
“No, no, no. If you hadn’t intervened to save her, that little girl would probably be in the emergency room right now. Look at me, to blame you without understanding the situation clearly, how detestable.”
