Chapter 105: Can't You Soothe My Emotions?

At a Horse Racing Track that implements a membership system like this, every horse must undergo strict screening.

Before leaving the horse ring, they must also undergo rigorous inspections to ensure there are no oversights regarding the horses.

Yet the horse Qi Qi was riding just now clearly had a problem.

Was it just an accident?

Zhu Yuan did not think so.

That horse was originally the one she was riding; the "accident" was very likely aimed at her.

So what was wrong with her saving Qi Qi?

It was just like that car of Sheng Yu's back then; the vehicles he traveled in were sent for regular maintenance, so how could those accidents have happened? If she hadn't been acting on impulse and driven away that night, the one who likely would have had the accident was Sheng Yu.

And he even snapped at her!

Sheng Yu looked down at their hands, fingers interlaced; this was an intimate way for lovers to hold hands, yet Zhu Yuan was only afraid he would shake her hand off, but this did not prevent such an action from just now causing his anger to subside a little.

Yet Zhu Yuan just had this ability to make his anger climb to its peak with a single sentence.

She actually dared to say that her saving Qi Qi and him saving her were the same principle!

He suppressed his anger, his tone cold and stern, "Tell me, how is it the same?"

Zhu Yuan had just experienced a narrow escape from an accident and her mood had not yet calmed down; hearing Sheng Yu question her in such a tone, she was immediately annoyed.

——It's all saving people, why are you snapping at me! Did I ask you to chase after me!

——You were the one who insisted on chasing after me, and now you want to scold me; Sheng Yu, are you sick!

But Zhu Yuan only dared to roar and scream in her heart; she didn't dare to say a single word of her inner thoughts out loud. If she said even one word, Sheng Yu might tear her to pieces.

After deliberating in her mind for a while, she said in a low voice, "I meant that the original intention of saving people is the same, it didn't include any personal feelings."

"What personal feelings?" Sheng Yu gathered the fingers she had inserted between his own.

Zhu Yuan's heart skipped a few beats for a moment, and she said with a straight face, "I saved Qi Qi because she is cute, she is the flower of the motherland, the future of the nation..."

A cold sneer interrupted her words.

"I didn't know before that your sense of social responsibility was so strong."

"I am just that kind of person, you just don't understand." Zhu Yuan blushed, but her tone was still calm.

Feeling the fingers wrapped in his palm trembling, Sheng Yu tightened his grip, his face expressionless, "Then what personal feelings were involved when I saved you?"

Zhu Yuan was quick-tongued for a moment and hadn't thought about the topic that would extend from this.

Now she had the feeling of lifting a rock only to drop it on her own feet.

Enzo said that on that night, Sheng Yu jumped into the sea without hesitation to save her.

But there were some things Zhu Yuan could not continue to say; she was destined to leave Sheng Yu one day.

"It's because..." She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and realized her mouth was very dry; this swallow almost made her dry-heave. After calming down a bit, she said, "It's because I owe you money. If I die, who will pay you back?"

Sheng Yu suddenly let go of the reins, pinched her chin, and forced her to turn her head, "Are you trying to play dumb with me?"

But when his gaze landed on Zhu Yuan's reddened eyes, which were faintly shimmering with tears, his hand pinching her chin paused.

Those were the tears she had forced out while trying to hold back her dry-heaving just now.

In the eyes of others, it appeared pitiful.

"Acting again?" Sheng Yu stared at her, forcefully suppressing his anger.

According to her usual routine, she would definitely have to keep acting, but Zhu Yuan only sniffled and said hoarsely, "It's not acting, my throat is uncomfortable; the horse was riding too fast just now."

The image of her body leaning halfway to grab the reins of the other horse flashed through Sheng Yu's mind; at that moment, his chest had gone completely numb, and his mind had gone blank.

That strange feeling surged into his heart like wave after wave.

He looked at the small face close at hand that was still shaken, suddenly tightened his grip on her chin; the real sensation wasn't enough, so he stared at her lips, which had opened in pain, and lowered his head to kiss her aggressively.

Satisfied with such a more intimate touch, the man sighed and kissed her even more deeply.

Zhu Yuan was forced to turn her head to accommodate his deep kiss; this posture caused her to lose all strength to resist.

Unlike his previous kisses of strong possessiveness, this time Sheng Yu kissed her with unusual ferocity.

"Umm..." Zhu Yuan was in pain and pulled her hand away to hit him.

No matter if she hit or pinched, she couldn't shake the man in the slightest.

Their interlaced fingers tightened further; Sheng Yu's hand that was pinching her chin moved back through her hair to press firmly against the back of her head. Only when Zhu Yuan's hand hit his face did he slightly separate their lips, which seemed to be stuck together.

He panted, his dark eyes staring at her, "Hit me again, and I'll have you right here on the horse's back!"

Zhu Yuan opened her mouth to breathe, and the man's kiss fell again.

In the sunny woods, a breeze blew by.

Looking from afar, a pair of man and woman on the back of a white steed seemed to be kissing passionately.

Zhu Yuan didn't dare to resist for a long time, worried that he would go crazy and disregard the occasion, especially since her period had just ended, making him even more unscrupulous.

But her throat was truly uncomfortable and she couldn't help it; she pushed him away with force and lowered her head to dry-heave.

"My throat is very dry, very... uncomfortable..."

Sheng Yu's face was cold and dark as he scooped her into his arms, one hand pulling the reins, and with a stomp of his feet on the stirrups, the horse began to run.

On the Horse Racing Track, the white steed galloped over.

Dong Shu saw that on the horse's back, Sheng Yu was gripping the reins with one hand while the other arm circled Zhu Yuan's waist; when they dismounted, she saw that Zhu Yuan's lip makeup was smudged.

"Zhu..."

Just as Dong Shu opened her mouth, Sheng Yu dragged Zhu Yuan by the hand toward her lounge.

The lounge door slammed shut; Zhu Yuan turned to run out, but a hand with distinct knuckles reached out by her ear, pressed against the door panel, and blocked her path.

She didn't dare to turn back to meet the man's man-eating gaze, only hearing him say hoarsely, "Didn't you say your throat was uncomfortable and you wanted to drink water?"

"I'll go out to drink." Zhu Yuan was apprehensive.

"Drink it here." His tone was indisputable.

Sheng Yu lowered his eyes to stare at her nervous little face, "Finish drinking and I'll let you out."

Zhu Yuan would never believe such words again.

At this moment, Zhu Yuan's phone rang; it was a call from Troupe Leader Hao.

Zhu Yuan answered the phone, "Troupe Leader."

"Xiao Fengzheng, are you alright?"

"I am fine."

Troupe Leader Hao's voice came through again, "That's good. I'm calling to let you know that the people at the magazine are worried about accidents, so we won't be shooting today. We'll come back to shoot in a couple of days when the weather is better. Are you coming back with us, or..."

Just as Zhu Yuan was about to say something, her phone was suddenly snatched away.

"She is coming with me."

Sheng Yu hung up the phone, tossed it onto the table to the side, and stared at the riding outfit on her body.

He unbuttoned his own riding outfit with one hand, "Since there's no need to shoot, then you can change your clothes."

Zhu Yuan caught sight of the window diagonally opposite and took off running.

Sheng Yu took a long stride, pulling her directly into his embrace; the lapels of her riding outfit fell open, and his warm chest pressed against her trembling back.

The man gathered all of her slightly curly long hair to one side, just like the way she looked when he first saw her today, so charming and alluring.

"You can't just look after Qiqi and ignore me. Now that Qiqi is fine, shouldn't you soothe my emotions?"
