Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 973

On the highway, Ximena was thrilled by the high-speed racing. She took a short glance in the rearview mirror, and found no trace of Aaron's car. A proud smile formed on her lips. She snorted and said to herself, "Aaron, since you started this unhappy quarrel between us, I should be the one with the right to end the quarrel as I wish— Oh shit!" Ximena cried suddenly. She saw roadblocks and a traffic policeman not too far away from her. She stepped on the brake immediately, and the tire squealed against the bituminous highway, making a harsh, high-pitched noise, which drew the attention of the policeman in front of the roadblocks.

He signaled Ximena to pull over. She took a big breath, relieved that she was able to stop on time. She slowly pulled over, and then rolled down the window.

The policeman gave her a small salute, and asked seriously, "Excuse me, madam. May I see your papers and driver's license?"

Ximena quietly took it out of the bag and gave it to the policeman. He looked through it carefully. He seemed really serious about his work. He looked at the papers and the license over and over again. Ximena waited impatiently and thought he would tear the papers in two if he kept turning them like that. So, she asked hastily, "Officer, is there a problem? I... I am kind of in a hurry right now."

The policeman folded the papers, but didn't give them back to Ximena. Looking at her car, he asked slowly, "What was the speed of your vehicle just now?"

She was stunned by the policeman's serious look and grimaced. She yelled in her mind, 'Do you know who I am? Didn't you see Aaron's name on the vehicle papers?'

"I—"

As she was about to explain herself to the policeman, they heard another harsh and unpleasant noise as a car halted abruptly near them.

She looked sideways and saw Aaron get out from the driver's seat. He closed the door and walked towards her.

The corners of her mouth began to twitch unconsciously. Although Ximena looked indifferent, the anger in her eyes sold her out.

When the policeman saw Aaron, he immediately saluted him, as if he had just seen a senior officer or some political commissar of the Island. He said respectfully, "Mr. Leng."

"Thanks for your hard work and co-operation," Aaron said with a nod.

"Not at all, sir. It's a pleasure," the traffic police said earnestly, and gave Aaron a simple and honest smile. After taking a quick glance at Ximena, he walked towards the roadblocks and cleared them quickly.

Ximena leaned against her seat, looking at the roadblocks in front of her and sneering at herself. How could she forget about Aaron's power in QY Island? To catch up with her, he didn't need to drive fast at all. Like what had just happened, he simply could force her to stop and wait for him to catch her.
