Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Aaron chuckled and joked, "No wonder you're a young couple, even your tone of voice is the same."

To be honest, after Ye Ge's performance improved, many places came to poach him, offering increasingly outrageous terms.

He paused, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes, "The most outrageous time was when a foreign agent came directly to our club and ambushed Ye Ge right after he finished training."

The other party immediately agreed to a signing fee of $70 million per year, not including bonuses and endorsement revenue sharing.

Aaron gestured with a smile, "The whole club was in an uproar. The owner and coach were so angry that they almost grabbed wrenches and rushed out to argue with people."

Is this reasonable? It's clearly an attempt to sabotage us!

Charlene was stunned when she heard this.

She said, "As far as I know, top race car drivers might receive this kind of treatment."

But those were all established figures who had been famous for many years and held multiple world championships.

Shino-san has only recently begun to make a name for himself, and despite his dazzling talent and outstanding achievements, this price is almost insanely high.

She could almost picture the scene in her mind.

Shi Ye stood at the club entrance, with the familiar running track and teammates behind him, and a tempting astronomical contract in front of him—but he didn't move an inch.

As Aaron spoke, he couldn't help but get excited again: "At that time, even the boss thought it was all over. The other party's offer was too tempting, and there was no way to refuse it."

But guess what?

He stood there, his face expressionless, and said resolutely, "I won't leave."

Do you know how shocked we were at that moment?

Charlene shook her head gently, a knowing smile on her lips: "I can imagine that scene."

After all, in many people's eyes, Shi Ye is from the countryside, and he has so much money that countless people could not earn even if they spent several lifetimes.

But when he had the opportunity, he refused it, which was simply unbelievable.

Aaron slapped his thigh and said, "You didn't see it, the whole place was so quiet you could hear a pin drop."

After he returned, the boss and coach talked to him privately, but he sounded hesitant.

They said something like, "If you really want to go, we can understand... we don't blame you."

To be honest, the amount was so large that even the boss and his colleagues were tempted and couldn't resist.

Charlene was amused, and her eyes narrowed into slits.

Seeing this, Aaron continued with even greater enthusiasm, "But Brother Ye didn't even look up, casually tossing out a question: 'Seventy million US dollars, is that a lot?'"

His nonchalant manner made it seem as if he were simply asking about the weather.

At the time, I thought this kid was illiterate and couldn't do math. He had no idea how huge a sum of money seventy million dollars was—enough to buy dozens of mansions or invest in a major project.

Speaking of this, Aaron slapped his thigh again, regretting his poor judgment back then.

He said, "Later I found out that the two dzi beads around his neck were worth more than that amount."

Who's the kind person who wears such an expensive thing around their neck?!

Upon hearing this, Charlene's heart skipped a beat, and her breath hitched slightly.

As expected, the token of love that Shino-nii gave him was a dzi bead!

It's that legendary thing that he casually dismissed as "not worth much money"!

She really wanted to facepalm.

Is this really worthless?

This is clearly a priceless treasure, one that is beyond compare!

Aaron was clearly unaware of her inner turmoil and continued speaking calmly: "Later, when we learned about Ye Ge's family background, we thought about it and it didn't seem so strange anymore!"

However, the value of that celestial bead is indeed astonishing, and if it were to fall into the wrong hands, it could be detrimental to him.

Therefore, after discussion, the club had no choice but to issue a unified statement to the public.

He said it was a stone he'd found by chance at an antique market, and it just happened to look a bit like a dzi bead.

Hearing this, Charlene couldn't help but chuckle softly.

She could imagine how much effort the club put into justifying this "worthless thing."

Protecting Shi Ye's privacy and safety while maintaining his carefree and unconventional persona is truly a difficult task for them.

Charlene remarked quietly, "The club really has it tough."

Aaron shook his head with a sigh and said, "That's right!"

However, the club has improved now, and it has cultivated several outstanding new racing drivers.

They've all achieved good results in recent competitions.

He paused, his tone still filled with admiration, "However, in the end, he can't surpass Brother Ye."

He is the king of this arena; his innate talent and focus are unmatched.

In the future, I dare say he will stand at the very top of this industry, unmatched by anyone.

Charlene smiled and nodded, her eyes full of trust. "I believe you too!"

Because every time I watch him compete, I can feel his powerful aura.

He wasn't just aiming to win; he was pushing his limits.

Before we knew it, the chat time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, Shi Ye finished his training and came over.

He took off his gloves and placed them on the table, asking curiously, "What are you talking about?"

Aaron laughed and said, "We were talking about you, but now that my task is complete, I'll be leaving."

He turned to Charlene and said, "Goodbye."

Charlene waved and politely replied, "Goodbye."

Watching the person leave, Shi Ye asked gently, "Won't you get bored? My training sessions are a bit long."

Charlene said with a smile, "It's not boring at all. Chatting with Aaron is quite interesting."

Her tone was playful, and her fingers unconsciously traced circles on the table. "I've heard quite a bit about you, haven't I?"

Shi Ye casually picked up the half-open bottle of mineral water next to her, tilted his head back and took a sip, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

He put down the water bottle, a half-smile playing on his lips, and turned to look at her. "Oh? What have you heard? Tell me."

Charlene paused slightly, her gaze falling on the neck of the bottle he had just drunk from, and whispered a reminder: "This water... I drank from it."

Her voice grew softer and softer, as if she were afraid of being overheard.

Shino's gaze deepened. "Hmm, is there a problem?"

Charlene's ears burned, and she instinctively avoided his burning gaze, lowering her head and muttering, "N-nothing...it's nothing."

She clenched the hem of her clothes, and then, as if to comfort herself, thought: It's perfectly normal for boyfriends and girlfriends to share a bottle of water.

Shi Ye chuckled softly.

The laughter was deep and gentle, like a feather lightly brushing against her heart.

He reached out and ruffled her hair.

Why are you so easily embarrassed?

Then he stood up, extended his hand to her, and said, "Come on, shall I take you for a spin?"

Charlene nodded happily, "Okay!"

She happily took his hand, their fingers intertwined tightly, and walked towards the racetrack.
