Chapter 892: Won’t Do It Again. Ge Xuan Backs Down

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The breezy confidence in Yun Jian’s tone dripped with unmistakable swagger but for some reason, Ge Xuan did not think that she was joking.

“Master Corinton’s your defeated opponent? Are you for real?” Ge Xuan gasped and asked just to be sure, “You wouldn’t know who Master Corinton is, right? He’s the best mechanical maestro in this world. Whether it’s modifying a sports car or any machinery, there are only parts he modified that people have never heard of—never something he doesn’t know about!”

“I’m not trying to put you down or anything but you probably have never seen Master Corinton. Why would you say that he’s your defeated opponent?” Ge Xuan exclaimed.

“You admire Corinton a lot?” Yun Jian did not answer Ge Xuan’s line of questions but diverted the topic to ask him instead.

As expected, Yun Jian’s question diverted the topic of conversation.

“We racers look up to him very much because the race cars he’s modified can go twice faster than regular sports cars and race cars!” Ge Xuan said with his gaze set afar.

If Ge Xuan had found Yun Jian not worthy of his attention previously, he at least knew that she understood car racing now. After all, someone who knew nothing about auto racing would not be able to notice that his sports car had been modified..

Unknowingly, Ge Xuan carried on the conversation with Yun Jian. He managed to sign it as well, “Hah, if I could make Master Corinton modify a Maserati sports car for me, I’d be without regrets!”

There was a sense of pity in his tone, like he was lamenting.

Everyone in this world knew how eccentric Corinton was. He would not be modifying a sports car for you even if you paid him to but if you made him happy, he would even do it for free.

Ge Xuan’s sports car had gone through several owners. By the time it came to him, it was already an old car driven by numerous people. Nevertheless, it was a car modified by Corinton, so Ge Xuan would rather drive an old one like this than change it.

“If you could get a Maserati sports car modified by Corinton, you’ll be nicer to my mom?” Yun Jian asked from her spot with a sideways glance at Ge Xuan.

She knew that what Qin Yirou wanted was not for Ge Xuan to disappear. The woman was kind and Ge Xuan was not exactly a bad guy. That was why Yun Jian was negotiating with him.

Realizing that this was the third time Yun Jian was negotiating with him—for Qin Yirou too, Ge Xuan blinked. He did not answer her directly but asked her rather enviously, “You and your mom are close huh?”

In Ge Xuan’s impression, all his mother knew was dressing up flamboyantly and spending all her time outside, only coming home late in the night. She had never cared about him.

“Mn.” Yun Jian nodded.

Ge Xuan’s colorful tufts of hair was a stark contrast against his slightly gloomy expression.

“That’s nice,” he sighed deeply. The envious tone in his words was obvious. As he said that, he left with quite a heavy heart.

This time, Yun Jian did not stop Ge Xuan.

A short way into his departure, Ge Xuan turned back to Yun Jian with a chuckle. He was not mocking Yun Jian but laughing at his lonesomeness in self-depreciation.

“I won’t insult your mother anymore.” Ge Xuan continued walking with his head down before he said, “Master Corinton is a famous international name. No one’s able to commission him to date.”

It was impossible for the only person who could possibly invite Master Corinton for his work to be Yun Jian either.

Ge Xuan had planned to back down.
