Chapter 724 - 576: What’s There Left to Not Understand?
"Today, it’s you winning again."
Shi Wangyue lagged a step behind, seated on the horse’s back. Just after praising Ning Youguang in front of him, he saw her slow down the pace, waiting for him to catch up. She tilted her head, held the reins, made a hand gesture and looked at him with a bright smile, "I concede."
Even through the equestrian helmet, that smile remained dazzling, full of charisma.
At this moment, perhaps even Shi Wangyue himself didn’t realize, as he watched Ning Youguang’s smile, his own face was equally adorned with a brilliant smile.
He was radiant from head to toe.
The surrounding crowd watching the horse race was stunned.
The two leisurely rode their horses and stopped in front of everyone.
"The horses here are not bad after all." Perhaps due to his good mood, Shi Wangyue, who was usually silent and reticent at the company, was willing to speak a few more words.
But at this moment, where did the crowd find the mood to think about horses?
Their focus was—
"Ning, it’s really unexpected, your equestrian skills are so good." Ze Wu stood by Ning Youguang’s horse and looked up at her with amazement.
"Learned for a few years with Wangyue when we were kids." Ning Youguang chuckled lightly.
Ze Wu’s mood, which had just been adjusted, was instantly blocked again. He turned his head angrily towards Shi Wangyue, "In the United States, didn’t you tell me you weren’t really good at riding horses?"
Shi Wangyue looked at him calmly, "Not really good doesn’t mean I can’t.
"..." Ze Wu gritted his teeth, "You, who attended professional equestrian classes for a few years as a child, say you’re not really good at riding horses? Then what kind of person is considered good?"
"Someone like Youyou," Shi Wangyue smirked, "Every time she participates in equestrian competitions, she takes first place."
"..." the Star Team riding group.
Mr. Shi, I suspect you’re flaunting your love, but I have no evidence.
Ze Wu was amused by this, and he looked at him, "Oh, like Ning who always takes first place in equestrian competitions is considered good at horse riding, then you, a not-so-good rider, what place do you take? Dead last?"
"Sorry, I’m always second in equestrian competitions." Shi Wangyue sat atop his horse and looked at Ze Wu; with deep eyes, his gaze was as calm as usual, his eye corners and brow still contained traces of lingering laughter.
Clearly appearing far gentler than usual.
Yet because he was looking down from above, from Ze Wu’s perspective, the other seemed to be gazing at him with disdain.
It truly made him laugh.
Ze Wu looked meaningfully at Ning Youguang, "Ning, do you think Wangyue was good at riding horses as a child?"
Ning Youguang glanced at Ze Wu with a mischievous smile, "Wangyue lost to me every time in horseback riding competitions as a kid, I’d say he’s indeed not that good at it."
The surrounding crowd covered their faces, "..."
Mr. Yun, let’s just admit it.
This couple, in some ways, are really equally thick-skinned.
We’ve got to respect that!
"..."
Ze Wu let out a deep breath and turned to challenge Shi Wangyue, "Perennial runner-up, wanna race a couple of laps?"
After challenging Shi Wangyue, he turned to Ning Youguang, "Ning, you can be the judge."
"Sure." Ning Youguang replied leisurely with a broad smile.
Ze Wu was stewing in anger, looking for a place for release.
At that moment, the manager of the horse arena, sensing the situation, handed him an equestrian helmet and brought over the horse he previously chose.
He immediately took the equestrian helmet from the manager and put it on, then very handsomely mounted the chosen Akhal-Teke horse.
He then galloped out on horseback, racing far and wide at once.
Riding alone, he dashed around the field for several laps, feeling the rhythm, and finding Shi Wangyue still on horseback, stationary without moving, he asked, "How much longer do you need to rest?"
Ning Youguang was almost dying of laughter from Ze Wu. She dismounted and gently patted the horse under Shi Wangyue, "Go ahead, have fun with him."
"Go sit for a bit."
Shi Wangyue looked down, gently gazed at Ning Youguang, and leisurely adjusted the reins in his hand.
Despite being tapped lightly by Ning Youguang, the horse didn’t move but lowered its head and leisurely tapped its hoof, as relaxed as the person atop it.
Looking at Ze Wu, who was urging them over there, the surrounding crowd felt empathetic.
Once Ning Youguang led her horse away from the field, Shi Wangyue’s gaze turned sharply intense, he tugged the reins, and both man and horse swiftly galloped away.
To the onlookers, their eyes suddenly brightened.
As the man and horse sped away like a meteor and an arrow, it was as if the horse wasn’t carrying the person racing but like a mighty eagle soaring through the skies.
Among the group, there were genuinely inexperienced "Star Team" employees, and genuinely skilled horse arena staff.
But at this moment, either experienced or inexperienced, everyone who saw Shi Wangyue on horseback unanimously felt utterly amazed.
They’d truly never seen anyone, during a horse race, appear so effortlessly weightless and otherworldly.
The equestrian movement was extremely graceful and stunning.
Moreover, many quickly realized the aura from riding the horse differed entirely from when he was competing with Ning.
What’s left not understood?
Mr. Shi’s affection for his wife is truly attentive in every detail.
Following was the intense competition scape, two riders racing on horseback, excitingly pitted against each other.
Excited cheers immediately erupted from the audience.
They never imagined, while on a company retreat in the mountains idly slackening, they could witness such splendid equestrian performances by two corporate giants in this forested area.
Shi Wangyue’s equestrian skills were dazzling and crisp, stunning to watch.
Ze Wu’s equestrian skills were also quite commendable.
He raced several rounds on horseback, trailing Shi Wangyue, but not by much.
"Whoa—"
After galloping around the field for a while, Ze Wu’s anger dissipated along with the rush, sweat poured from his body.
He lifted his head into the warm autumn sun, feeling exceptionally refreshed.
Turning around, he found his subordinates all stiffly staring at him from the sidelines, so he slowed his horse’s pace, "Let’s call it a day; racing further isn’t going to change anything."
He glanced at Shi Wangyue, "We have a limited time today; let’s head back to Beijing. When there’s time, we’ll find a better horse arena, bring Ning along for some real fun."
Shi Wangyue also slowed down, responding nonchalantly, "We’ll see then."
Seeing the two halt, the lively bystanders from the "Star Team" riding group immediately cheered and approached them excitedly. 1314
