Chapter 149: I’ve Got this Win in the Bag

Translator: Sissy That Walk

Luo Qianqian felt so guilty when she met Murong Yun’s unfathomable eyes, it felt like she were caught red-handed when she was serving the devil, she wanted to avoid Murong Yun’s eyes subconsciously.

But on a second thought, Luo Qianqian thought she had done nothing wrong, she was using things her way, she could use Yue Qiqi and her father’s influence in investigating that ‘old man’. Plus no way would she lose, especially when Murong Yun was the wager.

This decision was consciously made, it was not made in a fit of pique.

Probably men and women would have different perspectives on this.

Luo Qianqian was confident in herself, and Yue Qiqi’s offer was too good to turn down.

But Murong Yun saw it differently, if Yue Qiqi offered him a bet with Luo Qianqian being the wager, he would surely make Yue Qiqi regret her life choice.

Murong Yun couldn’t believe Luo Qianqian had accepted the offer with alacrity.

‘What has Qianqian taken me for?’

Luo Qianqian wanted to explain, ‘Hey, Murong Yun, I know how you feel, but please trust me, no way will I lose. No way will I lose you.’

However, she couldn’t utter a word and it broke Murong Yun’s heart.

Murong Yun looked at Luo Qianqian with indifference and called her name, “Luo Qianqian.”

This was the first time that Murong Yun called her by her full name, usually he would call her Qianqian with affection.

Luo Qianqian now was sure Murong Yun was infuriated.

“Murong Yun, please listen to me… …”, but she was interrupted immediately.

“It’s not necessary.” Murong Yun now acted like a total stranger, he was now as cold and unapproachable as when they first met.

“It’s not like that!” Luo Qianqian shook her head resignedly, “Can you please let me finish?”

‘Aren’t you always the smart and clearheaded one? You should know I love you too much to just give you up like this.’ thought Luo Qianqian.

However, what Luo Qianqian failed to realize was Murong Yun couldn’t keep a cool head when it came to her.

Murong Yun ignored her, he wished to be somewhere else. He didn’t make any eye contact with Luo Qianqian and turned around coldly, with that he walked away.

Luo Qianqian stood transfixed with shock.

Yue Qiqi who had witnessed this now showed a gloating look, this was such a bonus, a bet led to a sour relationship between Luo Qianqian and Murong Yun!

‘Great! Now all I have to do is to win the bet, as long as Luo Qianqian keeps a distance from Prince Eighth and me and I modify my behaviors according to his preference, I’m sure Prince Eighth will fall in love with me.’ thought Yue Qiqi.

“I will take you somewhere we can do a proper horse racing.” Yue Qiqi hid her excitement and led the way.

Luo Qianqian shook her head and persuade herself that she could explain herself to Murong Yun, they both needed time to calm down for now.

Luo Qianqian hoped she wasn’t being too optimistic.

Yue Qiqi took Luo Qianqian to one of the best race courses in the capital city.

The course stretched as far as the eye could see, it was quite breath-taking.

“Are you ready?” Luo Qianqian asked.

Yue Qiqi stopped, she looked Luo Qianqian’s horse up and down, “Our horses are of the same breed, looks like a fair game. Ready?”

“Sure, I can’t wait.” what Luo Qianqian said was true, she had a Murong Yun to coax after this.

Yue Qiqi noticed how eager Luo Qianqian was, she sneered, “I would have chased Prince Eighth just now and explain the whole thing on the spot if I were you, misunderstanding kills the relationship. I was surprised Prince Eighth would look at you with such indifference one day.”

Luo Qianqian was choked, ‘Why didn’t you tell me when we were on the street? Now you are telling me this because you just want to affect my performance, right?’

“You look much better when you keep your mouth shut!” Luo Qianqian countered. But she couldn’t help but wonder, ‘What if Yue Qiqi is right? What if Murong Yun doesn’t even want to see me later? What if our misunderstanding deepens?’

Yue Qiqi wasn’t annoyed by Luo Qianqian’s remark, “Yeah, I was doing that on purpose. The more he misunderstands you, the happier I am, don’t you ever forget, Luo Qianqian, we are rivals in love!”

Luo Qianqian nodded, she appreciated how honest Yue Qiqi was, “Quit your jibber-jabber, let’s race!”

“Quite confident, aren’t you? Luo Qianqian, do you really think you can win?” Yue Qiqi had as much confidence in her horsemanship as in her swordsmanship. She had a grudge against Luo Qianqian since last time when Luo Qianqian tricked her in their swordsmanship competition in the imperial palace.

Yue Qiqi was excited in this opportunity to wipe out that disgrace, “I won’t be tricked this time!”

Luo Qianqian couldn’t be bothered to exchange verbal abuse with Yue Qiqi, she wanted to wrap this up and see Murong Yun.

“On three.”

“One!”

“Two!”

“Three!”

With that two horses darted out like two lightnings.

Yue Qiqi kept whipping her horse, and the horse outstripped Luo Qianqian’s, she laughed at Luo Qianqian, “Don’t forget, you need to stay away from me and Prince Eighth if I win!”

Yue Qiqi was well aware that it was hard to stop Prince Eighth from thinking about Luo Qianqian, so she counted on Luo Qianqian to end their relationship. And she was confident that Prince Eighth would fall in love with her sooner or later.

“I know.”

Luo Qianqian patted her horse, “Good girl, Xiaohong, speed up!”

Luo Qianqian liked to name her fur babies by Xiaosomething, like Xiaobai and Xiaohong.

Xiaohong was in purplish red, she was a pretty horse and she was in smaller build than other horses, Luo Qianqian adored Xiaohong.

Luo Qianqian was very gentle towards Xiaohong, she would pat the horse instead of whipping.

Xiaohong heard Luo Qianqian, with a nicker, Xiaohong leaped high and started to gallop.

The distance between Luo Qianqian and Yue Qiqi was getting smaller and smaller. Yue Qiqi whipped her horse anxiously, “Speed up! I will kill you tonight if you dare to lose!”

Luo Qianqian found the way Yue Qiqi treated her horse ridiculous.

Yue Qiqi’s horse sped up in pain, it looked like the horse was fully stretched.

Luo Qianqian narrowed her eyes, ‘According to the way you treat your horse, I will surpass you soon!’
