Bai Yunfei went downstairs to get some ginger soup. After taking a hot shower, he was still shivering under the blanket.

His mother told him to go downstairs to drink the soup, but his grandmother was in the living room. He was afraid that he would be punished, so he did not dare to come down.

While Lu Jingnan teased Bai Yunfei, the helper brought the ginger soup over.

Bai Yunfei said with a sniffle, “I still have a racing competition. If I catch a cold, wouldn’t my opponent say that I’m a coward?”

He did not want to catch a cold nor be laughed at by his sworn enemy.

“Have you ever thought maybe our grandparents treated you this way not because of me, but because they don’t want you to participate in the competition on Saturday?” Lu Jingnan asked him.

Aside from Lu Jingnan, who else in the family supported Bai Yunfei’s venture?

At most, everyone supported him to collect luxury cars. However, the Bai family did not have much to do with racing. His grandparents would watch television dramas and movies at home. What they had learned was that car racing was extremely dangerous.

To them, it was something that could kill.

Bai Yunfei was the grandson of the Bai family, and he had an important responsibility to continue the Bai family’s legacy. He absolutely could not die.

Even if he were to die, he would have to do that after he had children.

Bai Yunfei was stunned before he realized what happened.

He had found it odd as well. If their grandparents found out about Lu Jingnan’s return, they could have gotten Lu Jingnan’s mother to ask him to come back home.

It was not necessary to ask Bai Yunfei to come home to explain everything.

Their grandmother was curious about the relationship between Lu Jingnan and that woman, but Bai Yunfei did not know what kind of woman his cousin had been close to all these years.

Besides, no woman would approach a man like his cousin who had a marriage history and a powerful fiancée.

He was puzzled when his grandmother called him back and asked her about Lu Jingnan getting a girlfriend. He foolishly asked, “Jingnan has a girlfriend? Isn’t he afraid he’ll be hunted down by the young lady of the Lin family?”

The lady’s name was Lin Yilan. It was said that she had a crush on Bai Yunfei’s cousin ever since she was young.

It was obvious that his cousin’s charm in Cloud City was unmatched.

The Lin family and the Lu family were old family friends.

As for Lin Yilan, she was two years younger than Lu Jingnan. As she was one of the top socialites in Cloud City, she was especially arrogant. Even when she had a crush on Lu Jingnan, she never took the initiative to confess to him.

If a woman wanted to get close to Lu Jingnan, Lin Yilan would make her suffer.

She had been waiting for Lu Jingnan to turn around and look at her.

Therefore, she was disappointed when Lu Jingnan married a university student. Everyone knew he had never thought of her that way.

Lin Yilan should have given up, but she did not. In the end, she even seized the opportunity.

Due to that accident, Lu Jingnan finally promised that if she insisted on being with him three years later, he would get engaged to her and get married within a year of their engagement.

Lu Jingnan had been divorced for more than three years, and Bai Yunfei knew that Lin Yilan still liked Lu Jingnan very much. Hence, the two families decided to set their engagement in October.

Although the engagement had not been announced, the news had spread.

It was probably not a secret in Cloud City.

After the engagement was set in October, the Lin family was so happy that they wanted to announce it to the world. Lin Yilan even considered herself as Lu Jingnan’s fiancée.

Strangely enough, the Lu Family had always had a good relationship with the Lin Family. If not, the two families would not be friends in Cloud City. Despite that, Lin Yilan did not win over Lu Jingnan’s grandparents.

Especially their grandmother, who said that it would be better for Lu Jingnan to get Song Ruyi back rather than marry Lin Yilan.

Thus, when their grandmother heard Bai Yunfei mention Lin Yilan, she was unhappy. She immediately told him to get out and endure the cold wind. She even complained that he had poor taste. What was there to cherish about that kind of woman?

It was just that Lin Yilan came from a good family. Other than that, she had no merit.

After Lu Jingnan’s reminder, Bai Yunfei finally understood their grandparents’ intentions.

He knew they were doing this for his own good, but racing was something he liked to do. Even if an accident did happen, he was not afraid.

How many people dared to sacrifice their lives for their dreams?

Racing was his dream.

Besides, racing was much safer now.

He only participated in formal competitions, not the illegal ones.

“Grandpa and Grandma are getting on in years. It’s normal that they don’t understand. If they don’t get it the first time, then tell them again. Don’t dismiss them as being annoying.” Lu Jingnan patted his shoulder.

Bai Yunfei nodded. “Yes, I got it.”

Lu Jingnan pursed his lips and smiled. “That’s good. I’ll go back to my room to rest first. You should sleep early too.”

“Okay.” Bai Yunfei suddenly thought of something and turned around to call Lu Jingnan. “Cousin, is it true that the woman whom Grandpa and Grandma bumped into today has nothing to do with you?”

Bai Yunfei just wanted to remind Lu Jingnan that it would be for the best if they were not related. Otherwise, Lu Jingnan had to be careful of Lin Yilan.

That woman was the jealous type.

She was the kind of person who would not let her target off.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Jingnan did not answer but asked a question instead.

Bai Yunfei was someone who rarely gossiped.

It was completely because Bai Yunfei was a straightforward man.

“I’m just reminding you not to let Lin Yilan know. It’s fine if she’s jealous, but it’s not fine if she hurts someone else.” Bai Yunfei said.

It was understandable for women to be jealous, but it was unreasonable if they vent their anger on innocent people.

Lu Jingnan was stunned. During the Lunar New Year when the two families had dinner together, he relented and said that they would get engaged this year.

If Bai Yunfei did not remind him about this matter, he would have completely forgotten about it.

He actually had a fiancée.
