”Are you touched?” Lei Zhao asked as he hugged Yan Mei from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder.

”Yes, it feels nice to have someone back you up once a while.”

Lei Zhao chuckled, “You’re now part of the family. We wouldn’t stand by and let any guinea pig insult any member of our family.” Lei Zhao said softly.

Yan Mei chuckled and spun around to plant a soft kiss on Lei Zhao’s lips.

Lily Lu who was watching their interaction clenched her fist as she glared at Yan Mei. If looks could kill, Yan Mei would already be buried six feet down the ground. Too bad the couple were just immense in themselves and didn’t notice her.

Ying Sheng blocked Lily Lu’s view and crossed her arms across her chest.

”Darn, I told you, don’t dirty them with your eyes.” Ying Sheng said coldly, snapping Lily Lu’s attention to her.

”Ying Sheng don’t be too arrogant. You might call me cousin-in-law in the future, who knows?” Lily Lu strode towards Ying Sheng and whispered in her ears.

Ying Sheng chortled as if she had heard something funny.

”You? Even dark magic won’t let my cousin look at you. You’re just…”

Ying Sheng trailed off as she looked at Lily Lu up and down. Her lips twisted into a sardonic smile.

”Nothing. Just a decorated pig. But once a pig, always a pig. ”

Without waiting for Lily Lu’s response, Ying Sheng walked out on her.

”Hurry up and stop wasting my time.”

Lily Lu bit her lips as she stared at Ying Sheng’s back. She has never hated anyone like she hated Ying Sheng at the moment.

Yan Mei stared at Ying Sheng’s and couldn’t help but get worried.

”Ying Sheng do you think she would win?”

Lei Zhao looked at Ying Sheng and a sly smile appeared on his face.

”I don’t know…let’s watch and see. Whether she wins or not we wouldn’t let anyone bully her. Don’t worry.”

Yan Mei heard Lei Zhao and nodded. Whatever that happens she won’t let anyone bully Ying Sheng. If she wants to play let her have fun!

Lei Zhao glanced at the determined look on his wife’s face and smiled.

Seems Ying Sheng has found herself another backer.

*****************************************

Ying Sheng stood beside an Arabian horse with chocolate brown body and black edging. His sliky black mane swam down his neck and poured off his shoulder.

The horse swept his tail lazily as he stood in a confident and exquisite posture. Like his master slyness danced in his eyes as he let out a rumbling snort.

”Ready August?” Ying Sheng asked as she patted August.

August let out a neigh and Ying Sheng’s lips curved slightly.

She skillfully mounted the horse and rode to the starting line.

Lily Lu who was already at the starting line with her black horse turned to look at Ying Sheng.

”Miss Ying, you should admit defeat while you still have a chance. At least it would be less embarrassing.”

Ying Sheng rolled her eyes and ignored Lily Lu.

”I think social media would be interesting today when I upload the video of you kneeling before me, don’t you think so?”

Ying Sheng glanced at Lily Lu like she was a jumping clown. She retrieved her gaze as if looking at her any longer would stain her eyes.

Looking at Ying Sheng’s nonchalant and lazy look people began to whisper between themselves.

”Who do you think would win?”

”Miss Lu, of course. No one can beat her when it comes to horse riding!”

”I have been waiting for the face slapping of this arrogant Miss Ying for a long time. Can believe it’s finally here.”

”Does anyone want to bet?”

”Yes.”

And just like that people started betting on who would win this race.

”Do you want to take part in the bet?” Lei Zhao asked Yan Mei .

Yan Mei smiled and nodded, “Why should we lose an opportunity to make money?”

Lei Zhao chuckled and nodded. Thus, only Lei Zhao and Yan Mei bet on Ying Sheng.

The news of the race spread throughout the racecourse and people stopped whatever they were doing to watch the race.

The horse trainer who was chosen to be the referee looked at the two women.

Lily Lu was sitting confidently and elegantly on her horse. Looking at her posture the trainer knew she has been practicing for a long time.

The trainer looked at Ying Sheng who was sitting lazily on the horse and sigh. He began the countdown and suddenly Ying Sheng straightened up, releasing a nobility aura.

The people around couldn’t help but be surprised.

How come she suddenly looked so skilled?

”Pah!” The moment the referee sounded the whistle Lily Lu quickly galloped out.

A gush of wind blew against Ying Sheng and her lips curved into a smile.

She quickly followed suit. She looked so beautiful that people couldn’t stop staring at her. Even though Lily Lu was leading, people’s attention were on the red haired behind her.

Seeing that Lily was winning her followers cheered her on.

”Lily, Lily…..come on show her who is boss.!”

”Oh my Miss Ying is losing, this would be so much fun! I’m glad I came here today!”

”I’m going to win this bet! I’m so happy.”

Yan Mei scrunched her face when she saw Ying Sheng was losing.

”Come on Ying Sheng, you can do it! Come on!”

Lei Zhao shook his head when he saw his wife cheering at Ying Sheng. This stupid woman.

”Come on help me cheer her on.” Yan Mei said to Lei Zhao.

Lei Zhao scratched his forehead and smiled, “Alright.”

Even though it was kinda embarrassing he didn’t mind as long as his wife was happy.

”Come on Pumpkin. I trained you better!”

Ying Sheng glanced at Lei Zhao and Yan Mei and saw them cheering her on. Her eyes met Lei Zhao and a trace of slyness passed through each other’s eyes.

Lily Lu’s blood pounded in her ears with excitement as she saw she was leading Ying Sheng.

Every now and then, she dared to glance behind her, dreading that Ying Sheng would overtake her but it seems she was leading Ying Sheng by a good mile and there was no way Ying Sheng could catch up with her.

She suddenly relaxed and a triumphant smile spilled from her lips. She could already envision Ying Sheng losing. And kneeling before her.

She looked at Lei Zhao from the corners of her eyes and pouted.

He was cheering on Ying Sheng with that ugly woman. What does he even see in her to have married her?!

From what Ying Sheng said she knew the woman was Lei Zhao’s wife but it’s okay, she didn’t care if Lei Zhao was married. As long as he sees how spectacular she is, he would divorce that woman.

Yan Mei bit her lips in anxiousness as she stared at Ying Sheng.

”Hey, relax would you?” Lei Zhao teased his wife when he saw how tense she was.

”You… aren’t you afraid she would lose?”

Lei Zhao shrugged, “Should I?”

Lei Zhao said as a trace of light passed through his eyes.

’Ying Sheng, you cunning fox.’ Lei Zhao shook his head and smirked.

Suddenly his phone rang. Lei Zhao looked at the caller ID and raised his brows.

”Wifey..I have to take this call. Would you be alright?”

Yan Mei was too focused on Ying Sheng to pay attention to whatever Lei Zhao had said.

She mumbled some incoherent words and Lei Zhao sighed.

He moved away from Yan Mei and answered the call.

”Ye Xing what is it? It should be something important for you to disturb me on weekends.”

Lei Zhao said flatly the moment the call was connected.

”Boss, sorry to disturb you but I have found out what happened to madam five years ago.”

Lei Zhao narrowed his eyes. He could sense there was something more based on Ye Xing’s tone.

”What is it, Ye Xing?” Lei Zhao asked anxiously.

”B-boss I- I think we should hide it from madam. Also, someone is also investigating should I delete all the traces left because if madam finds out the truth…..”

Lei Zhao scrunched his face in confusion.

”What are you talking about?!” Lei Zhao asked clearly, agitated by Ye Xing beating around the bush.

”I’m afraid if madam finds out the truth she would be more hurt. Someone closer to her is responsible…”

Lei Zhao stiffened, “You keep what you have found and clear all the other traces. I will see you later in my office.”

Lei Zhao said and hung up the call. ‘Someone closer to her? Who?’

Lei Zhao frowned as he fell into a deep thought.
