“Which bet do you want to make?” Qin Zhen showed no fear.
Chi Ming responded directly, “If I win, you can’t pester Qingyue anymore. Unless necessary, don’t approach her to talk.”
Qin Zhen furrowed his brows, “When did I pester Shen Qingyue?”
Chi Ming could not be bothered with him and said, “Just tell me if you agree or not. If you didn’t pester her, what are you doing here now? Don’t make excuses; appearing by her side is already pestering her.”
“Fine!” Qin Zhen’s face turned serious, “But if I win, you have to leave Shen
Qingyue immediately. Don’t affect the reputation of the Shen and Qin families. We are respectable people.”
“Whether you are respectable or not, it’s hard to say.” 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, “Don’t force yourself; if you lose, you lose. We can just ignore it. He’s just crazy, and you can’t reason with him.”
Chi Ming smiled lazily; he did not expect Shen Qingyue to think he would renege on a bet. His smile was relaxed, “So, do you hope I win or lose?”
“Of course, I hope you win,” Shen Qingyue replied, but in her heart, she added, ‘Although you can’t win either. I just hope you won’t get hurt.’
“Then I’ll win for you to see!” Chi Ming’s 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, “Go ahead and win.”
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 reputation…
Soon, the signal to start the race sounded, and Chi Ming’s whole demeanor changed. He spurred the horse like a spring and shot forward.
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, “You lost!”
Qin Zhen’s 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, “I accept my loss.”
“That’s good. Don’t pester Qingyue anymore,” 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! “I never liked her in the first place, why would I pester her?”
“Yeah, I hope you keep your word.” 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. “I won, you know.” He was waiting for Shen Qingyue to praise him.
Shen Qingyue asked, “Why did you lie to me? You clearly aren’t afraid of horse riding. ”
Chi Ming had already prepared his response, “Don’t you find it surprising? I do have some fear, but that doesn’t mean I can’t ride. You helped me overcome my fear, and I won the competition. Don’t you feel a sense of accomplishment?” Shen Qingyue did not know how to respond to that.
Chi Ming pulled her, “Alright, we’ve been riding for a while. Let’s take a rest.”
Chen Ying and others also approached. She could not help but ask, “What’s Qin Zhen’s intention? Does he want to remarry you?”
“He’s dreaming!”
Shen Qingyue and Chi Ming answered in unison. Then they glanced at each other and stopped talking.
Chen Ying laughed, “I can see that even if he wants to, he doesn’t stand a chance. Haha, well, now that you’ve won against that scumbag, let’s go watch a movie. The lead actor is from our company; let’s show some support.”
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, ‘Blood Moon’..
