Accidental Love

Chapter 5.2: Do You Have a Girlfriend?

Guan Xiangcheng held a leather whip in his head and slowly walked here. He slowly noticed Zheng Shuyi on the side.

Suddenly seeing a stranger, Guan Xiangcheng slowed down even more and studied her.

But then after thinking about it, it wasn't unusual for a man to show up with a woman, so his first sentence changed to, "This is?"

He pointed to Zheng Shuyi.

Without waiting for Shi Yan to speak, Zheng Shuyi spoke first, "Hello Mr. Guan, I am Zheng Shuyi, a reporter from ‘Finance Weekly.'"

"Oh, ‘Finance Weekly'…" Guan Xiangcheng nodded, "I think I heard of you. I read a few of your articles before. They're well written and in-depth. I didn't expect that the reporter is such a young lady."

She didn't know whether this compliment was because Shi Yan was here, but Zheng Shuyi still accepted it.

She raised her head and smiled, "Thank you, I will continue to try to improve."

After a brief introduction, Guan Xiangcheng looked at his guests and said cheerfully, "I didn't prepare well enough because I thought you were coming alone. Few ladies appear in a shabby place like this."

Hearing this, Zheng Shuyi knew that he had misunderstood why she was here with Shi Yan and probably thought that she had a special relationship with him.

Zheng Shuyi lowered her head, rubbed her fingers quietly, and quickly processed through thoughts in her mind.

"Uncle Guan—"

"Oh my god!"

As soon as Shi Yan spoke, the woman next to him shrieked.

Shi Yan turned her head around and found Zheng Shuyi looking around awkwardly with a face full of surprise. "What a beautiful place this is!"

While speaking, she glanced around as her hair was blown up by the wind. "These horses are also so beautiful!"

She looked like an innocent girl being drawn into this scenery.

Zheng Shuyi felt like her acting skills deserved an Oscar.

Interrupted, Shi Yan didn't continue talking. He frowned and studied Zheng Shuyi thoughtfully.

"These aren't even my best horses," Guan Xiangcheng went along with her. No matter how wealthy a person was, at such an age, it was normal for them to show off their treasures. "The good horses are still in the back."

"There's more?!"

Zheng Shuyi pretended to be curious and expectant. Guan Xiangcheng looked at her and then placed the whip in his hand away. He waved to the two of them, "Let's go."

After Guan Xiangcheng finished speaking, he turned and walked in, leaving Zheng Shuyi and Shi Yan behind.

In such an open space, the wind felt particularly strong, whirring through the woods.

The person beside her didn't speak, but Zheng Shuyi could feel him looking at her.

With Guan Xiangcheng's status, she was certain that Shi Yan wouldn't introduce her the way she wanted. Trying to prevent a drama from occurring, she purposefully spoke first.

But he was staring at her in such a way that every second seemed to be stretched infinitely.

Zheng Shuyi's breathing was a bit uneven. She held her hand against her back as her index finger moved nervously. After waiting for a few seconds, she looked toward Shi Yan.

Sure enough, their eyes met.

Zheng Shuyi blinked and smiled, as if saying, "Guan Xiangcheng invited me, what's wrong?"

Zheng Shuyi didn't know if Shi Yan had any concerns. He just smiled lightly and then followed up to Guan Xiangcheng.

Entering the horse farm, Guan Xiangcheng stood outside of the changing room.

Shi Yan walked directly to the changing room and stopped at the door. He seemed to suddenly remembered something as he looked back towards Zheng Shuyi.

"I'll go in and change."

Although his voice was calm, it carried a warning tone.

Zheng Shuyi smiled brightly and replied with a sweet voice, "Okay! I'll wait patiently."

Shiyan: "…"

Without another word, he went in, leaving Guan Xiangcheng and Zheng Shuyi.

——

If it was a stranger, Guan Xiangcheng would be very untalkative.

But he obviously thought that Zheng Shuyi was specially brought here by Shi Yan. After hearing the conversation between them, he understood her more. He treated her as if the same as Shi Yan.

He brought a horse over and chatted with Zheng Shuyi casually while brushing its mane.

After talking about a few economics-related subjects, he changed the topic, "How long have you known Shi Yan for?"

Zheng Shuyi was surprised by the sudden question before realizing what he meant.

She lowered her eyes, and said shyly, "We haven't met for too long."

We just met today…

Guan Xiangcheng nodded with a smile and patted the little horse in front of him. "Do you know how to ride horses?"

Zheng Shuyi said that she doesn’t.

Guan Xiangcheng turned around and pointed to the changing room. "There are my wife's old clothes inside. If you don't mind, you can wear them. You're here already, why not learn?"

"Really?!"

Horse riding was a skill that had nothing to do with the daily life of a typical person. Even if it wasn't for Shi Yan, Zheng Shuyi would still be curious enough to try. Her surprise at the moment was not fake at all. She happily followed Guan Xiangcheng into the changing room.

Although this was a private horse farm, the changing room was quite large. There were four small changing compartments separated into two sides.

She followed behind Guan Xiangcheng, and when she passed one of the compartments, she turned her head and saw Shi Yan behind the curtain.

The door curtain blocked from the chest to the ankle. Shi Yan turned around and found Zheng Shuyi looking at him.

He wasn't wearing his glasses, so he had to squint his eyes.

Although the lights in the dressing room were brightly lit, Shi Yan's eyes were still cold.

Zheng Shuyi, who felt a chill in her heart, immediately continued walking and looked away.

She felt that the cold gaze was chasing her as she quickly increased her pace.

——

Guan Xiangcheng brought her in front of a cabinet, opened the door, and a faint fragrance rushed to her nose.

A set of red equestrian outfits was hanging in the cabinet. The color and the buttons looked pretty old-fashioned, but the material seemed to have very high-quality. The tailoring was also very neat. "Try it on. My wife's body size is similar to yours. It should fit."

With that, Guan Xiangcheng turned and walked out.

The dressing room fell back to silence.

Zheng Shuyi took out the outfit, and before going into a compartment, she took a glance at Shi Yan.

Unfortunately, there was a tall row of lockers in between, so she couldn't see him at all.

I haven't heard anything for so long, so he's probably already outside.

Zheng Shuyi turned and entered one of the compartments.

She took off her clothes and changed into this equestrian outfit carefully. Right before she finished buttoning the last button, she suddenly heard footsteps.

Zheng Shuyi's fingers stopped and she carefully listened to tell if the footsteps were coming towards her.

Unfortunately, no.

The footsteps were getting farther and farther, probably in the process of going out.

Zheng Shuyi grabbed onto her belt and suddenly said, "Mr. Shi!"

The footsteps stopped.

Standing in the compartment, Zheng Shuyi smiled carefreely.

"How do you tie this belt? Can you teach me?"

After waiting a few seconds, the footsteps sounded again.

The wooden floor in the dressing room made the footsteps sound very heavy.

He came!

Zheng Shuyi released her hand and quickly began to organize her hair.

But a few seconds later, she realized that something was wrong.
