Chapter 7: Possessiveness

Wen Suihan smiled, "Is that so? That's quite an honor."

Their hands clasped together, Jiang Yi lowered her head and stared at his hands for a while.

His hands were as attractive as his face, with long fingers, distinct bones, and neatly trimmed, clean nails.

At the same time, Jiang Yi's phone rang. She let go of Wen Suihan's hand, took the phone out of her pocket, glanced at it, and then, looking up to the Elder Chief, she said, "Grandfather, it's He Gu. I'll go to the entrance to meet him, you guys chat."

"Mm."

Watching Jiang Yi's retreating figure, the Elder Chief said to Wen Suihan with a smile, "You don't recognize Xiao Yi, do you? When she was little, she used to visit your grandfather's house. You were there too." The Elder Chief raised his head, appearing to reminisce, and continued, "At that time, you were also around 10 years old. She liked you and wanted you to hold her, but you refused and she even bit you... This girl has always been someone who bites when she's angry."

Wen Suihan smiled and shook his head; indeed, he had no memory of it.

At the entrance to the equestrian club, He Gu was dressed in sportswear and hadn't styled his hair, having simply rushed over after taking a shower.

In front of the Elder Chief, he needed to behave as well as possible to avoid a beating—the horsewhipping he'd experienced as a child had already left him traumatized. So he lingered at the entrance for quite a while, struggling desperately as he asked twice, "Can I not go in?"

After being rejected by Jiang Yi, he could only follow dispiritedly.

In front of the changing room, He Gu went in to change into his riding clothes, while Jiang Yi stood alone at the door, looking down at her phone.

Unintentionally, two figures walked past her.

She instinctively looked up, and in an instant, her face soured.

Zhou Zimu and Wen Qianqian just happened to pass by.

Wen Qianqian saw Jiang Yi in her eye-catching riding clothes, and her expression changed. She clung to Zhou Zimu's arm, desperately not wanting him to see Jiang Yi, who made the riding clothes look so stunning.

"What are you doing here?"

Zhou Zimu's expression wasn't much better than Jiang Yi's at this moment.

In his heart, he thought that by dressing like this, Jiang Yi was bound to attract the attention of the men at the equestrian club.

Men inherently have this inexplicable possessiveness. Even though Jiang Yi had become his ex, the feeling of having something of his coveted by someone else still managed to fester and sprout in the depths of his heart.

Jiang Yi scoffed, "Is this a place only you can come to? Why can't I be here?"

Zhou Zimu subconsciously wanted to grab Jiang Yi's wrist but, catching a glimpse of Wen Qianqian standing aside, ultimately, he didn't reach out.

Frowning, he said irritably, "Jiang Yi, we've broken up. It's pretty pathetic for you to sneak around and follow me."

Jiang Yi laughed mockingly, "I can't understand where you get your confidence from, thinking that I came here to follow you."

Zhou Zimu said, "Don't lie to me; this is a members-only equestrian club, not just anyone can come in. Even for me and Qianqian, we're only here because of her uncle's connections..."

"Zimu, stop it..."

Wen Qianqian tugged at his arm, her eyes reddening again.

Seeing Wen Qianqian like this, Jiang Yi was extremely annoyed. She really couldn't understand this woman, always acting like she was about to cry as if someone had bullied her—do men nowadays all like this kind of behavior?

After his expression changed a bit, Zhou Zimu finally said to Wen Qianqian, "Qianqian, go change your clothes first. I have a few words to say to Jiang Yi."

After speaking, he gently rubbed the top of her head, "Be good, I'll come find you in a bit."

Even if Wen Qianqian didn't seem too pleased, she still lifted her feet and headed into the changing room.
