Chapter 479: Fall Into a Ditch (3)
An Qi was startled upon being shouted at by Nie Yunfan. When she snapped out of her daze, she grew increasingly angry. “What did you call me just now?!”
“Butch! That’s right. I’m calling you a butch! A lady should wait quietly at the side. Why did you simply come out and make the situation more chaotic? I don’t mind that you have made the situation worse but you even put all the blame on me?!”
Nie Yunfan was truly stirred up. He was born with a silver spoon and as the only child in the family, he was deeply adored by the elders. Moreover, he was born with good looks as well.
As such, the ladies usually offered themselves to him one over another without even him taking any initiative. This was his first time facing a fierce lady cussing him in the face.
If not for the fact that An Qi was his best buddy’s future bride’s older sister, he would have fought with her.
“I… In all my life, I have never met such a wicked, vulgar, stubborn and unreasonable woman! On second thought, you are not even a woman, you are a butch! A butch who is a nuisance to all the guys!”
“You!” An Qi was already in a fit of rage. Upon hearing Nie Yunfan’s words, she only grew angrier as if she was suffering from a stroke.
Luckily, she was still not so angry to the extent of laying her hand on Nie Yunfan. She sucked in a few deep breaths to calm herself before she snickered at him, “I’m being stubborn and unreasonable, huh?! Hah! Ask yourself, did I say anything wrong?!”
“You…” Nie Yunfan opened his mouth and was about to defend himself. However, he was interrupted by An Qi.
“Why are you stuttering?! You were acting cool and sped up on the mountain road just now as soon as the rain stopped, did you?!”
“I…”
“Why are you stuttering again?! Am I wrong to say that you were not focusing on the road when driving just now? As a result, you drove the car into a ditch and nearly caused us to lose our lives!”
“It’s because I…” Nie Yunfan raised his voice and wanted to explain himself. However, he swallowed his words that were at the tip of his tongue. He discreetly sized An Qi up and a trace of guilt flashed across his eyes.
An Qi failed to notice this. Just when Nie Yunfan was about to defend himself, her expression darkened, and she glared at him, “So what?! Do you dare to deny all these?!”
Nie Yunfan was rendered speechless. He mumbled to himself, “Well, these were facts… But… But if not for the cat that popped out all of a sudden and caught me off guard, I wouldn’t have possibly let go of the steering and lose grip of the tyres. Who would have thought that a cat would suddenly appear out of nowhere in the middle of the night?! Such bad luck!”
If not for the cat that appeared all of a sudden and caught him by surprise, a highly skilled driver like him who was second to none would have been able to drive smoothly even in a downtown, crowded area. How could he ever succumb to such a terrible mountain road?! If this accident were to spread to others, it would definitely ruin his noble reputation which he had built over time.
However, his explanation barely quenched An Qi’s anger. Instead, she grew increasingly disdainful for Nie Yunfan. Her disdainful glare shot through Nie Yunfan like small knives whooshing toward him. “Young Master Nie, it’s a cat, not a tiger! You are a man, how can you be scared by a kitty cat to the extent of driving the car into the river?! Does that sound honorable to you?! Don’t you feel ashamed of yourself?! Even if you don’t, I do!”
Upon hearing that An Qi was mocking him for fearing a cat, Nie Yunfan instantly exploded. He looked up and met An Qi’s gaze. He raised his voice and said, “How can you be so unreasonable and stubborn?! Anyone would be scared by a dark shadow that popped out of nowhere in the middle of the night on the mountain road, okay?! It doesn’t matter even if that animal is a cat, dog, tiger or even leopard!”
“Well, if that’s the case, I’ll listen to you. However, the main point isn’t this, let me ask you, there are many people driving on this mountain road. Likewise, there are many small animals around. Why are you the only one who got scared by a small animal?! Why did the others who got caught by surprise did not have any accident?! Why are you so scared to the point of driving the car into the ditch?!”
“This is because…”
“This is all because you wanted to play it cool by driving the car at breakneck speed, so fast so that the car is flying down the mountain way. Of course, an accident would happen under the circumstances where the rain has just stopped, you drove the car like a bat of hell and got scared by a cat. At the end of the day, don’t you think you are at fault for all this?”
An Qi’s aggressive tone further infuriated Nie Yunfan. He was not willing to admit defeat. “Hey, butch! Can’t you be more reasonable? How can you entirely blame everything on me?! If not for you kept nagging me to speed up in order to avoid arriving late which might end up leaving a bad impression on the elders, I would not have gotten so annoyed and sped up! Who would have thought that I would meet an accident in the middle of the way?! How can you put the blame on me?!”
Upon hearing this, An Qi cocked one of her eyebrows and snorted, “Well, if that’s the case, I am the one to be blamed for this accident, huh?!”
Nie Yunfan was guilty under An Qi’s stare. As a man, his aura should not be overpowered by her. As such, Nie Yunfan gritted his teeth and screamed, “That’s right! It’s all your fault! Who else is to blame if not you?!”
His high-pitched voice echoed throughout the mountain stream.
An Qi did not say anything. She stared still at Nie Yunfan. He felt goosebumps over his entire body under her stare. The next moment, she let out a bark of laughter. Her laughter sent a chill down his spine.
Nie Yunfan was scared out of his own wits as he watched An Qi’s bizarre appearance. He reflexively took a few steps back. Later, An Qi cast a profound glance at his back.
Nie Yunfan subconsciously turned around to look behind him. He suddenly felt a huge sense of impact behind him.
For a moment, Nie Yunfan did not pay attention and his body fell backward, only to find that the river that he had climbed up with great difficulty not long ago was behind him.
In the nick of time, Nie Yunfan simply grabbed whatever that was within his reach with both of his hands.
An Qi had never thought that Nie Yunfan would grab her wrist at that moment. Before she had time to react to this, she had been pulled over.
Along with the loud splashing sound, two huge splashes of water bloomed inside the river.
An Qi emerged to the water surface in a flurry of motion. However, she was thoroughly wet and looked a mess.
Nie Yunfan, who was not far away from her, strived to emerge to the surface. He spat out a mouthful of water, “Darn it! Butch, are you crazy?! How dare you push me into the water?!”
An Qi did not answer him. Her face was already darker than thunderclouds. His long hair was still dripping water and messy. She looked frightening, especially as she was walking step by step toward Nie Yunfan.
Nie Yunfan was terrified. He gulped with difficulty before he said nervously, “What… What do you want to do?!”
“What do I want to do?!” An Qi ground her molars as she smiled coolly. She delivered a kick at Nie Yunfan’s crotch without mercy. “Stay here tonight, arsehole!”
“Ouch…!” Nie Yunfan had never expected An Qi to strike him so hard. He held his lower body and sunk into the water. He screamed while he was in the air. “Darn you, butch! You better watch out!”
