âWhich bet do you want to make?â Qin Zhen showed no fear.
Chi Ming responded directly, âIf I win, you canât pester Qingyue anymore. Unless necessary, donât approach her to talk.â
Qin Zhen furrowed his brows, âWhen did I pester Shen Qingyue?â
Chi Ming could not be bothered with him and said, âJust tell me if you agree or not. If you didnât pester her, what are you doing here now? Donât make excuses; appearing by her side is already pestering her.â
âFine!â Qin Zhenâs face turned serious, âBut if I win, you have to leave Shen
Qingyue immediately. Donât affect the reputation of the Shen and Qin families. We are respectable people.â
âWhether you are respectable or not, itâs hard to say.â Chi Ming did not want to argue with him anymore. Since Qin Zhen agreed, they might as well have a proper competition. This clingy fly needed to buzz off.
Both of them arrived at the starting point. Shen Qingyue whispered to Chi Ming, âDonât force yourself; if you lose, you lose. We can just ignore it. Heâs just crazy, and you canât reason with him.â
Chi Ming smiled lazily; he did not expect Shen Qingyue to think he would renege on a bet. His smile was relaxed, âSo, do you hope I win or lose?â
âOf course, I hope you win,â Shen Qingyue replied, but in her heart, she added, âAlthough you canât win either. I just hope you wonât get hurt.â
âThen Iâll win for you to see!â Chi Mingâs confidence showed as he spoke, and he looked at Shen Qingyue.
Shen Qingyue did not want to dampen his confidence; Qin Zhen had studied horse riding back in school. How could Chi Ming possibly win? He was swaying even now while riding a horse. However, she encouraged him sincerely, âGo ahead and win.â
Then she took out her phone and searched: How to help a friend who suffered a major setback regain confidence?
Qin Zhen watched Shen Qingyue and Chi Ming talking so closely, not knowing what they were saying. He felt uncomfortable in that atmosphere and tried hard not to care. The reason he made this request was that he thought Shen Qingyue was wallowing in self-pity, embarrassing herself. Even though they were divorced, others still mentioned him as her ex-husband when they talked about her. He could not afford that reputationâ¦
Soon, the signal to start the race sounded, and Chi Mingâs whole demeanor changed. He spurred the horse like a spring and shot forward. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qin Zhen was a bit slow to react; by the time he lifted his head, the two had already pulled some distance ahead. He was infuriated and gritted his teeth! He knew Chi Ming was pretending not to know how to ride!
Shen Qingyue also froze; she was not stupid. Chi Ming was clearly skilled in horse riding; why did he lie to her? Did he just want her to lead the horse for him?
The final outcome was beyond doubt, Chi Ming won effortlessly. He turned his horse around, looking at Qin Zhen with a cold voice, âYou lost!â
Qin Zhenâs face grew darker; he knew Chi Ming was pretending not to know how to ride a horse. However, being in front of so many people, he could not afford to lose face. He directly said, âI accept my loss.â
âThatâs good. Donât pester Qingyue anymore,â Chi Ming said coldly.
Qin Zhen snorted; when did he pester Shen Qingyue? It was clearly Shen Qingyue who often flaunted herself in front of him and even found another man to irritate him. Simply childish! âI never liked her in the first place, why would I pester her?â
âYeah, I hope you keep your word.â Chi Ming raised an eyebrow with a smile, but there was no humor in his eyes. After saying this, he dismounted and walked towards Shen Qingyue, showing warmth in his eyes. âI won, you know.â He was waiting for Shen Qingyue to praise him.
Shen Qingyue asked, âWhy did you lie to me? You clearly arenât afraid of horse riding. â
Chi Ming had already prepared his response, âDonât you find it surprising? I do have some fear, but that doesnât mean I canât ride. You helped me overcome my fear, and I won the competition. Donât you feel a sense of accomplishment?â Shen Qingyue did not know how to respond to that.
Chi Ming pulled her, âAlright, weâve been riding for a while. Letâs take a rest.â
Chen Ying and others also approached. She could not help but ask, âWhatâs Qin Zhenâs intention? Does he want to remarry you?â
âHeâs dreaming!â
Shen Qingyue and Chi Ming answered in unison. Then they glanced at each other and stopped talking.
Chen Ying laughed, âI can see that even if he wants to, he doesnât stand a chance. Haha, well, now that youâve won against that scumbag, letâs go watch a movie. The lead actor is from our company; letâs show some support.â
Mainly, she thought horse riding was boring and wanted to do something else.
Fu Daoyu went with Chi Ming to buy tickets. However, Chi Ming picked a horror movie, âBlood Moonâ..
