The Villainous Celebrity Wife of the CEO - Chapter 141.1

Beauty Saves the Hero (Above)
Su Jishi and Mu Xiulun agreed to meet directly at the racecourse on the outskirts of the city.

Mu Xiulun was busy with business, and was a little late for twenty minutes. When he arrived, there were other jockeys on the grass field, taking the horses for their daily training. Mu Xiulun stood by the training field and looked for a circle, but did not see the girl.

After a moment’s thought, he took a step towards the stables.

The stable was large, and it was home to twelve prestigious retired champion horses. The bright sunlight cast through the skylight on the floor, cutting a beautiful crosshatch pattern. The spacious stables stood next to each other, with no odor in the room as they were cleaned daily. The horses heard footsteps and poked their heads out of the windows curiously, but when they saw that the visitor was not the rider they knew, they shrank back in disinterest.

In the deepest part of the stables was Linda Hu’s ‘boudoir’.

Linda Hu was the only lady in the stable, and its boudoir was beautifully decorated, with many flowers and plants in colorful paints on the outside walls, plus a row of ornamental potted plants placed under the windows.

The stables were never open to outsiders, yet now, a tall, slender figure was standing in front of the stables, holding a handful of hay in her arms and whispering something to Linda Hu.

The woman was dressed in a straight and slim riding outfit, her khaki equestrian pants outlining her beautiful hip and legs. She was wearing knee-high boots, shiny black leather boots.

She fed the horse while stroking its chin, her bony fingers tracing its thick, fan-like lashes. Linda Hu blinked rather unaccustomed and gamely inclined its head, resting its chin on the woman’s shoulder.

Mu Xiulun looked at the woman and the horse, stunned, and it took him a long time to call out to her: “…Su Jin?”

Hearing his voice, the woman looked back —— her eyes bent, and the corners of her mouth still held a smile as she said, “You’re here.”

“How did you …” Mu Xiulun’s eyes fell on her, slowly sliding down her sultry, sharp riding outfit. His eyes lingered abruptly on those riding boots for a few seconds, and he didn’t know what came to him, but he quickly averted his gaze.

He stuck his eyes somewhere and deliberately said, “Listening to your tone, people who don’t know would have thought that you are Linda Hu’s master, and that I am rather like the guest.”

Discerning the edge in his tone, Su Jishi immediately understood. She asked, “Are you jealous?”

The inexplicably guilty Mu Xiulun: “…”

Su Jishi was oblivious to President Mu’s unfathomable thoughts and teased him again, “Are you jealous of me?”

“…” Mu Xiulun’s face turned blue, and he squeezed out a few words between gritted teeth, “Yes, I’m jealous of you.”

How absurd! Not only did he have a horse girlfriend, but now he was jealous of his ex-girlfriend’s close relationship with his current girlfriend!

What was this called? He set foot in two boats, but as a result, the two boats had hooked up for a hundred years?

……

Mu Xiulun had an exclusive lounge in the racecourse and visited the place every once in a while to see Linda Hu. He went to the lounge to change into his riding outfit. When the same suit, breeches and boots were worn on him, they gave off a very different air.

He walked out of the stables with a horse whip in one hand and a helmet in the other. His suit was slightly tighter, outlining his toned arms. With a buckle tied around his waist, it was as if the muscles on his body would rip his clothes open with a big movement.

Su Jishi was walking her horse when she heard the movement behind her. She looked back, and upon seeing his attire, surprise flashed in her eyes.

Their equestrian outfits were in the same shade, both dark gray with silver edges, as if they had agreed upon it in advance.

Mu Xiulun took another bay-colored horse. It was a retired hot-blooded thoroughbred. It snorted proudly and stood up in its place, chewing the iron bit in its mouth with great excitement. Its big dark eyes were fervently fixed at the pasture.

Mu Xiulun patted the horse’s long neck and mounted his horse.

Su Jishi looked up. The sunlight was blinding, but she couldn’t blink.

The golden sunlight sprinkled in her hair, and like a fiery rose growing in the sunlight, a piercing gleam glinted in her eyes.

“Mu Xiulun, let’s race,” she called him by his name.

Mu Xiulun froze: “But Linda Hu is not a racing horse…” Linda Hu’s forte was dressage, and if she were to compete with the thoroughbred under him, she would definitely be at a disadvantage.

“I know.” The woman smiled brightly, without any hint of joking, “It’s okay.”

“Then I’ll give you a headstart.”

“No need.” Su Jishi said word for word, “But if I win, you have to promise me one thing.”

Little did they know that just a few hundred meters away, a pair of SLR cameras retrofitted with high magnification lenses recorded all their interactions.

“Brother Liu!!! Brother Liu!!! We’ve captured the real thing!!!”

Behind a bush, a young paparazzi was so excited that his face flushed. The black mask covered most of his face, but nothing could hide the joy on his face.

He gnawed on the words with his teeth: “This is the real deal! Su Jin’s private meeting with a rich businessman!” He sank into a fluttering fantasy and began to calculate how much traffic he could get for the videos and photos he took today.

And the person who was lying in the bushes with him was the very master who took him —— Xiao Liu. Of course, Xiao Liu had ‘leveled up’ to ‘Brother Liu’ now. He had not only become a veteran employee of Strawberry Video, but now also started to bring his own team of children.

Recently, the news of Su Jin not attending the rehearsal of Channel B’s New Year’s Eve gala was spreading. Xiao Liu took his kiddo to lurk around Su Jin’s apartment, wanting to lie in wait outside for gossip. Who would have thought that they’d accidentally discover such a bomb!

They secretly trailed Su Jin until she arrived at the racecourse, and then twenty minutes later, Mu Xiulun’s car also drove in. The two stayed in the stables for a long time and led their horses together to the pasture for a ride…during which they laughed and joked with their bodies touching from time to time…

What was this, ah? This was Su Jin and Mu Xiulun’s ‘intimate date’, the real deal, ah!

Once this news was exposed, traffic on Strawberry Video would probably explode, no?

…There was a straight path to heaven in front of them, yet there was little joy on Xiao Liu’s face. He zoomed in and zoomed out repeatedly, looking closely at the two tiny figures on the screen.

Su Jin and Mu Xiulun were each riding a horse. They were sometimes galloping wildly and driving side by side in the pasture; sometimes dismounting and walking, leading their horses and laughing tenderly. Both of them were wearing the same riding outfit, suit, breeches, and boots; from a distance, they were the image of a couple.

The sunlight was just right today, and the rays fell under the feet of the two. When Su Jin spoke, Mu Xiulun looked at the side profile, their tacit understanding left unspoken.

“Brother Liu, this picture you took is too good! Although it is a snapshot, the expressions and actions are so clear. Even if Su Jin’s team wants to whitewash it, they can never clean it up!”
