Chapter 410: Chapter 187 The Proud Woman_3
Wang Tao nodded and then said with a smile:
“Let’s rest for the night, and then we’ll part ways tomorrow morning.”
“…Okay.”
Yang Changhong didn’t say anything more and got out of the car to leave.
She found a suitable spot, and the convoy began to “set up camp.”
Wang Tao took Jiang Shixue and Xu Xiaojun for a look around the area to ensure that there was nothing that could threaten their safety nearby.
By nightfall, everything on the convoy’s end was ready.
Yang Changhong invited Wang Tao over for dinner. In the past, for convenience, everyone usually ate separately. But since they were all parting ways in the morning, this might be their last supper together; thus, it had a bit of a ceremonial feel.
“Wang Tao, I’m very grateful for your care along the way…”
Yang Changhong raised her water glass, using water in place of wine.
She actually liked drinking, but after the apocalypse had begun, she had given it up—after all, drinking led to mistakes.
“We’ve been looking after each other.”
Wang Tao raised his water glass and clinked it with hers.
The mood among the people was somewhat melancholic; they might not call Wang Tao a ‘good brother,’ but at the very least, they were now friends. If this were before the apocalypse, they might have had the chance to meet up again in the future, but now that the world had ended, once they separated, they might never get the chance to see each other again for the rest of their lives…
After dinner, it had already turned dark.
Yang Changhong arranged for people to take turns on guard duty, while Wang Tao went back to his car.
He wasn’t tired, but he planned to rest well since he was heading to Zijing City tomorrow. Given the scale and population of Zijing City, he could already imagine how dangerous it would be inside…
However, at this moment, Yang Changhong suddenly came over again.
“Wang Tao, there’s something I want to talk to you about. Could you come over?”
“Sure.”
Wang Tao got out of the car, and Yang Changhong immediately turned around, leading Wang Tao outside of her car with her head lowered, not allowing Wang Tao to see her face clearly.
“Shall we talk inside?”
Turning around, Yang Changhong replied, and only then did Wang Tao realize that she seemed… to have put on light makeup?
“Okay.”
Wang Tao got into the car with her.
Yang Changhong’s car was luxurious, worth over five million before the apocalypse. Owning such a car was definitely a symbol of someone of high status.
Although the exterior of the car now looked worn and had various modifications giving it a tattered feeling, once inside, it was evident that the interior was still well-maintained, much more luxurious than Wang Tao’s interior.
“What’s the matter?”
Wang Tao asked, slightly puzzled after looking around.
“I…”
Yang Changhong started to speak and suddenly reached out, wrapped her arms around Wang Tao’s neck, pressing her entire body against him, allowing Wang Tao to clearly feel a softness.
“What are you doing?”
Looking at Yang Changhong, who hadn’t drunk any alcohol but had a flushed face and a misty look in her eyes, Wang Tao seemed puzzled but didn’t push her away.
“When we part ways this time, we might never see each other again in this lifetime…”
Yang Changhong said softly, staring at Wang Tao.
“You want me to stay?”
Wang Tao raised an eyebrow.
But Yang Changhong shook her head.
“No, I know you’re a very determined person. I’m self-aware and know I can’t keep you…”
“Then what is this…”
Wang Tao was somewhat confused.
“I’m not sure how long I have left to live; bad luck might kill me tomorrow. And you’re the strongest man I’ve ever met… so, I want to experience something wonderful in this world before death. Even if I die later, I will have no regrets…”
After finishing, Yang Changhong’s face turned even redder, but she didn’t avoid Wang Tao’s gaze. If she was to die later, she did not want to die still a virgin…
Wang Tao was somewhat speechless upon hearing this.
He had thought this woman had fallen for him, but it turned out he was flattering himself.
As though she knew what Wang Tao was thinking, Yang Changhong smiled playfully:
“I admit you’re strong, but a proud person like me couldn’t possibly fall for a man in just a few days. I just think that other women are not worthy of me. You, well, barely pass!”
Although she said this, her grip around Wang Tao tightened.
Wang Tao didn’t quite understand what this woman was thinking, but what the heck, meat delivered to his mouth, could he reject it? He hadn’t had meat for a long time.
“Proud? I want to see how long you can stay proud!”
Wang Tao chuckled wickedly and reached out to strip off Yang Changhong’s clothes.
“Hiss… you’re not wearing anything inside…”
“I prepared it especially for you…”
Yang Changhong blushed, letting Wang Tao slowly strip her bare.
Wang Tao embraced Yang Changhong’s head and gently kissed her.
In a corner of the temporary camp, a luxurious SUV was rhythmically rocking.
Late into the night.
“I’m sorry, I was wrong, please spare me…”
“…”
Wang Tao walked out of Yang Changhong’s car, neat and tidy.
The guards who saw him just smiled ambiguously and said nothing more.
Wang Tao returned to his car.
Jiang Shixue was inside sleeping. Hearing the noise, she opened her eyes to glance at Wang Tao; she was curious but didn’t ask any questions.
After Wang Tao lay down, she naturally snuggled into his embrace.
If this were before, Wang Tao would have felt somewhat uncomfortable. After all, he was a young man in his prime.
But now, feeling the person beside him, Wang Tao was calm, even going so far as to hug Jiang Shixue, which made her eyes light up.
Wang Tao’s heart was unruffled.
Heh, just a woman. How could she disturb my inner peace?

The next day, early morning.
Wang Tao’s car quietly left the convoy. He didn’t even go to say goodbye to Yang Changhong.
Inside the luxurious SUV.
Yang Changhong watched the departing car and suddenly wore a frustrated, resentful expression as she bitterly said:
“What a nemesis! I can’t travel today; I’ll rest another day… If I ever have the chance to meet you in this lifetime… you’ll see!”
…
Morning.
As soon as Wang Tao entered the area of Zijing City Downtown, the car radio that had been left on suddenly came to life.
“Sss…help! Is anyone there? Please save us… sss…”
