Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Not only had Cai Yi condescended Yun Jian and Gu Nian, it sounded more like he was boasting. He said that he would not go easy on both of them due to his passion for horse racing; the reason seemed convincing but he was also indirectly stating that he would definitely beat them both.
Yun Jian merely scoffed at what he said while Gu Nian scratched her head and inwardly deadpanned how such a fool existed on earth. Was the guy being real? How dare he said that in front of her and Yun Jian?
Disregarding everything else, Gu Nian knew that Yun Jian was truly capable. At least, the undeniable truth was that she could not beat Yun Jian. That was why… cough—she was currently her captive.
‘When Cai Yi saw that Yun Jian and Gu Nian had both ignored him, he coughed dryly, clearly feeling a little more than embarrassed.
In spite of it, the cheers from the girls around them made his confidence rush back in. The girls were shouting, “Hey, don’t you guys think that the guy is cool?”
“He is! And didn’t Cai Lin say that he’s won the provincial level horse racing? I think he’ll certainly come in first place this time.”
“Tknow, right!”
Those who were outside of the horseback riding ranch had no idea about what was happening in there.
At the same time, Si Yi was seated in the study room of his and Yun Jian’s home with Snow Eagle and Mo Sen who were supposed to have already gone back to An Hun Group’s headquarters standing before him right now.
Snow Eagle took a grim step forward with furrowed brows and said, “Young master, Lin Wei’s coming over with our members. The destination of those people is…the horse riding place at the suburb of Longmen City!”
Si Yi raised his brow. It was obvious that he did not know that Yun Jian was there, He arched a brow and cracked a smirk. “Whatever the last of Inferno Ring’s force is here in Longmen City for, none of them lives past today!”
“Yes, young master!”
“Yes, young master!”
Snow Eagle and Mo Sen nodded at his order.
“We’re starting soon. I don’t have a whistle here, so this red flag shall act as one. When I swing this red flag down, the race starts,” Uncle Zhang explained standing next to the starting line.
No one objected to what he said, so Cai Yi and the other two guys promptly tensed up at the preparation state. On the other hand, Yun Jian and Gu Nian looked laidback, like they were not just about to race.
Cai Yi merely scoffed at them, criticizing them in his mind for not even feeling nervous before a race. How could they be horse racing then? They could never win!
“Get ready, everyone! Get set! …” Uncle Zhang held the red flag up high and began to countdown.
Cai Yi’s heart gave a squeeze when he heard the elder man’s shout. He was going to win this—he definitely would! He had already won in Zhe Province’s horse race, it was impossible he could not beat these two girls; what was more, the other two guys.
Just when Cai Yi thought about that, Uncle Zhang’s “go” rolled off his tongue loud and clear as he swung the red flag down.
It was then Cai Yi gripped the rein and was going to whip the horse to make it gallop but two silhouettes who were seated on the horseback and were umpteenth times faster than him had already raced toward the track.
Witnessing the scene, Cai Yi watched the two figures bolt off dumbly, forgetting to even raise the whip to whip the horse into moving.
The others who were farther away, too, saw the two figures charging out with their horses like two strikes of lightning upon Uncle Zhang’s command. Those who had mocked Yun Jian and Gu Nian earlier widened their eyes in shock.
Forget about whether the possibility of Cai Yi matching them; from this situation, it would already be a miracle if Cai Yi could finish one-third of the race when Yun Jian and Gu Nian arrived at the finishing line!
