Su Congrong and Song Luokui were walking slowly. "Luokui, can you ride a horse? Do you want to try riding one?"
Song Luokui shook her head. "I can't." Who would have dared let her ride a horse when she was so clumsy as a child? Everyone was afraid she would be trampled by the horse.
Su Congrong was surprised, as she knew Song Luo was quite good at horseback riding. However, she also felt a bit awkward. "Sorry, I arranged an unsuitable venue. I didn't know you couldn't ride. I thought you could since your brother is so skilled at it."
Song Luokui nodded. "My brother is indeed good at horseback riding. It's okay, even though I can't ride, I can learn."
Su Congrong said, "Shall we try? I'll ask the riding instructor to find you a small horse to ride and play around."
Song Luokui didn't refuse. "Sure."
"Let's go change into riding clothes first."
"Okay."
The two soon changed into riding clothes and picked out a small horse. The riding instructor stood by to guide Song Luokui, while Su Congrong rode her large horse.
Song Luokui mounted the small horse, following the instructor's guidance. Afterward, the instructor walked in front, leading the horse at a slow pace. Su Congrong rode her horse alongside them.
Sitting high on the horse's back, Su Congrong had to look down to see Song Luokui. This elevated angle suddenly made her feel good.
Song Luokui didn't mind and kept petting the small horse. The instructor said the horse would listen to her after she beca familiar with it.
As they walked and chatted, Su Congrong suddenly asked, "I noticed Young Master Chi seems quite fond of you. How did you two et?"
She thought they might have t at a banquet or event.
Song Luokui replied, "We've known each other since childhood. We lived in the sa compound."
Su Congrong was surprised. "So you two were childhood friends?"
Song Luokui said, "Not really. We weren't close as children but beca familiar as we grew older."
"Is that so? Did your brother have any female friends in the compound?"
Song Luokui glanced at her. Actually, she wouldn't mind if Su Congrong beca her sister-in-law, but it seed her brother didn't have feelings for her. She thought it would be better to give up on the idea.
"Of course he had many female acquaintances." However, her brother mostly played with boys, and the girls he knew were just acquaintances. The ones he was familiar with were the ones Song Luokui played with.
Su Congrong's smile suddenly froze on her face. "Then... was there any girl he was particularly close with?"
Song Luokui looked at her. "Miss Su, I accepted your invitation today to clarify things with you."
Su Congrong looked down at her. "What do you an?"
Song Luokui sighed. "Miss Su, I know you like my brother, but trying to use won't work."
Su Congrong's eyelids fluttered. "I... I just want to be friends with Miss Song."
Song Luokui said, "Miss Su, you don't need to be like that. Although my brother dotes on , he won't listen to in this regard. He even controls . I told him about going out with you today, and he indeed doesn't stop from making friends, but... he won't let bring anyone to et him."
"Miss Su, you should understand. Actually, you're quite accomplished, Miss Su. There are beautiful flowers everywhere..." She truly didn't want a beautiful woman to be heartbroken because of her brother.
Before Song Luokui could finish, Su Congrong interrupted, "What if I ask you to give up Young Master Chi, would you be willing to if he doesn't like you?"
The smile disappeared from Song Luokui's face. "Miss Su, you probably don't know, but it was Chi Yu who pursued , not the other way around. And the situation between my brother and you is nothing like the one between Chi Yu and ."
Su Congrong said, "I want to ask Miss Song... um... what thods did you use to make Young Master Chi pursue you? Sorry, I may not have put it well, but that's what everyone in our circle says. I just want to learn from you."
Song Luokui's expression instantly turned cold. "thods? Everyone in the circle says that? Which 'everyone'? Who else said that?"
Su Congrong shrank back. "Just... the girls in our circle."
Song Luokui raised her eyes. "I thought Miss Su was intelligent, but it seems..." Song Luokui shook her head.
Su Congrong imdiately apologized. "I'm really sorry, I just heard it so much that..." She originally wanted to say she wanted to learn so tips on pursuing n, like sharing strategies among girlfriends.
Song Luokui asked the riding instructor to stop. "Miss Su, I'm a bit tired from riding. I'll go back and rest first."
Su Congrong didn't dare say anything. "Oh, alright."
After dismounting and sitting down to drink so tea, Song Luokui saw Chi Yu riding a horse over. She told Su Congrong, "I'll go find my boyfriend first. You can do as you please, Miss Su."
Su Congrong stamred but didn't say anything in the end. She watched as Song Luokui approached Chi Yu. Chi Yu imdiately dismounted his horse, and the two said sothing she couldn't hear, but she could tell the Young Master Chi was truly gentle with Song Luokui.
Not only that, but he even picked her up and sat her on his large horse. After that, he mounted the horse himself, holding her as they rode off.
Having spent a long ti in this circle, Su Congrong had seen many n who acted arrogant and superior. In her view, n of high status would never lower themselves for anyone, while their female companions would humble themselves before the n.
Of course, there were also normal ones, but from what she had seen, the n usually held the dominant position. Initially, she thought Song Luokui and the Young Master Chi would be like that, and so people in their circle thought so too.
But it seed... she was mistaken. Recalling what Song Luokui had said earlier, "It was Chi Yu who pursued ."
Su Congrong suddenly laughed at herself. Of course, why would a person like Song Luokui need to humble herself? It was just her own lack of experience. Thinking about her own family... Su Congrong couldn't even laugh. If she couldn't have this accomplished person who didn't like her, would she really have to let her family arrange for her to marry so undesirable options?
On the other side, Song Luokui was nestled in Chi Yu's embrace as the horse walked slowly. She said unhappily, "Does everyone think I used so tricks to make you pursue ?"
Chi Yu imdiately turned to look at her. "What's wrong? Who made you angry? Did that person say sothing to you earlier?"
Song Luokui said, "You tell first if it's true or not."
Chi Yu stroked her face, "Of course not, it was I who used tricks to reverse the situation."
Song Luokui tilted her head back and wrinkled her nose, "I guess so people in the circle must think so, hmph, it's just that you're too attractive."
Chi Yu: "It's my fault. I'll give myself to you as an apology."
Song Luokui burst out laughing, "Is this how you apologize? You think too highly of yourself."
Seeing her laugh, Chi Yu also laughed, "Don't mind those people, shall I take you for a ride?"
"Yes."
With a "whoa," the valiant horse beneath them began galloping swiftly. Song Luokui faced the wind, occasionally turning her head to smile at Chi Yu, "So refreshing."
She suddenly recalled the lyrics from the Red Dust Companions in the drama Pearl Xiaoxiao, hmm, she felt that song suited the occasion.
Chi Yu was delighted to see her happy, and increased their speed.
