Chen Song smiled as he watched Chen Ying leave. But after she was gone, his eyes darkened. This was for the best; this was the path the young lady of the Chen family should take. Everything should return to normal.
Unbeknownst to Chen Ying, she boarded Fu Daoyu’s car and followed him to the racecourse. Yes, nobody knew what Fu Daoyu was thinking, but in the end, the four of them went horseback riding.
In fact, it was Chi Ming’s suggestion. Seeing how carefully Fu Daoyu was assisting Chi Ming to mount the horse beside Shen Qingyue, he felt a toothache. He wondered why this man suddenly wanted to go horseback riding! He must be so cunning, even coaxing Shen Qingyue by mentioning her past horse-riding accident, causing her to have trauma about the event. Now she dares not ride? Pah! When they were abroad, Chi Ming rode faster than anyone else. With his skills, even no one would be able to question him.
“Be careful… How do you feel? This horse is the gentlest one; it definitely won’t throw you off again,” Shen Qingyue said as she led Chi Ming’s horse. She remembered that in the past, Chi Ming got injured while trying to lead a horse for her, breaking two ribs and getting traumatized. Now that he was willing to try again, she naturally had to accompany him.
“I’m still a little scared… but with you here, I feel much better,” Chi Ming smiled playfully.
Fu Daoyu looked at them, grinning and baring his teeth. He should have been this attentive from the start. What’s with that Qin Zhen?
Chen Ying muttered to herself, “I suddenly don’t feel like horseback riding; the smell of love is nauseating.”
Regarding everyone’s blatant gazes, Shen Qingyue did not care because she saw Chi Ming, looking clumsy but cute, riding the horse. She could not help but take out her phone and take a picture; it was rare to see Chi Ming like this.
“Sister-in-law?”
Hearing someone calling from behind, Shen Qingyue thought they were calling someone else and did not turn back. After all, she did not have any ‘sister-in-law’ status now.
But after a while, the voice continued, and the next second, the person was right in front of her.
Zhou Sui was leading his horse, walking up to Shen Qingyue, and called again,
“Sister-in-law, I called you several times, why didn’t you respond?”
Seeing it was Zhou Sui, Shen Qingyue knew Qin Zhen and the others must have come here to amuse themselves too. Her face sank, “I’ve already divorced Qin Zhen, and it has nothing to do with you. Just call me Miss Shen, or just call me by my name.”
Before Zhou Sui could say anything, Qin Zhen also led his horse over. Their gazes met, but neither gave the other much attention.
Shen Qingyue just did not want to look at him, and Qin Zhen did not want to admit defeat; he would never bow down.
“Zhou Sui, let’s race two laps,” Qin Zhen called out to Zhou Sui.
Zhou Sui wanted them to bond, so he said, “It’s not fun if it’s just the two of us. Sister-in-law… Qingyue seems to have come here on her own. Let’s go together.”
“Heh. Stop talking to her. If you talk too much, she might think you’re interested in her,” Qin Zhen sneered.
Shen Qingyue rolled her eyes and turned away without looking at him. He was really foolish; she was afraid of being poisoned just by looking at him.
Qin Zhen coldly snorted and called out to Zhou Sui again, “Let’s go!”
At this moment, Chi Ming quickly urged his horse to come over, dismounted, and pulled Shen Qingyue close.
“Don’t you need more time to get used to horse-riding? Why did you come so quickly?” Shen Qingyue thought Chi Ming would not dare to ride the horse after just taking a photo.
Chi Ming almost blurted out: I’ll miss you if I don’t come; you might run away with someone else. However, he knew it was not the right time to say that.
He quickly changed his tone and said with a hint of grievance, “Without you by my side, I’m still scared. I feel like this horse will buck me off… Can you take me around again?”
“Okay,” Shen Qingyue said gently.
Zhou Sui and Shen Qingyue were back to back and did not see how Chi Ming got there. But Qin Zhen was facing them directly, and he saw everything Chi Ming did! How was he scared? He was even better than professionals! Shen Qingyue was becoming more and more foolish; she fell for such a low-level trick.
He provocatively looked at Chi Ming, “Do you dare to compete with me? Chi Ming, since we’re already at the racecourse, just randomly swaying around is meaningless. Let’s compete in speed, so people won’t say I’m bullying. Whoever reaches the finish line first wins!”
Chi Ming nodded.. “Okay, but since it’s a competition, there should be a bet, don’t you think so?”
