After a warm-up lap, the official competition is about to begin.
Zhou Dingyu glanced at Pei Song, who was half a step behind him, and suddenly asked , " Guess what I just talked about with Mr. Xu?"
Pei Song , " What?"
Zhou Dingyu smiled, transferred the whip from his left hand to his right hand, raised his head, and followed the horse's bouncing and pacing. His posture looked even more lazy and uninhibited:
"I said, if you can beat me, I will invest in Qiulin's tourism project and cooperate with Xu to bid for it."
Hearing this, Pei Song was stunned for a second , " Are you ... serious?"
Zhou Dingyu's smile widened , " Even your reactions are exactly the same."
After a pause, he said, "I, Zhou Dingyu, never talk nonsense, let alone empty words. If I say something, it counts."
Pei Song was even more frightened.
I immediately understood the importance of this game.
It seems that we can’t release the water.
He must try his best!
Driving the white horse to keep pace with the black horse , " Then Mr. Zhou, please give me some advice."
Zhou Dingyu raised his eyebrows , " Three rounds to decide the winner?"
"good!"
As they spoke, the two men had already clamped their powerful legs around the horses' bellies and raised their whips.
In unison , " Go!"
Two horses, one black and one white, flew out like arrows from a bow.
The horse's hooves stepped on the ground with a powerful sound, raising two trails of dust!
Xu Li looked nervously, and in her swaying vision, she saw that Pei Song's eyes were firm and calm, which seemed completely different from his gentleness and humility just now.
There was finally a sense of competition around her, and Xu Li felt much relieved.
But he hadn't completely relaxed yet when he looked at Zhou Dingyu, who was riding the black horse that was almost on the same level as the white horse and was equally serious and earnest, without any cynical look on his face.
I subconsciously broke into a sweat.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but when she looked at the man, he seemed to notice something.
As he rode his horse at full speed, he suddenly tilted his head and looked over here, just in time to meet her gaze!
Xu Li's breath was choked.
In the rolling dust, the man's eyes were as dark as an eagle's. He was no longer careless, only determined to win.
Moreover, because he suddenly became serious, his arrogance became even stronger!
A thought suddenly popped up in Xu Li's mind!
That is - Pei Song may not be Zhou Dingyu's opponent.
--
The game was tense and stalemate!
On the first lap, the two horses were almost neck and neck.
The dark clouds pressed down even darker and darker. Amid the howling of the wind, Pei Song looked towards Zhou Dingyu in surprise.
In order to get the other party to cooperate with Xu's, let alone let him off, he tried almost every possible means.
But the opponent didn't fall into disadvantage at all.
The black horse had shiny mane, and when it leaned forward, its fierce momentum was very similar to Zhou Dingyu who was riding it at that moment.
Pei Song felt that he seemed to have underestimated the opponent's strength.
This time, he met his match.
His heart tightened, and he whipped the whip downwards again , " Go!"
Finally, we have distanced ourselves from the dark horse.
The second lap is already halfway through.
But before Pei Song could be happy, the sound of horse hooves behind him was like a drummer hitting the dense drum beats, hitting his tense nerves again and again.
Sure enough, in the distance, the black horse suddenly rushed over again and was keeping pace with the white horse!
On the dark horse, the man's dark eyes looked over teasingly and with interest, as if he was deliberately teasing a prey that had already been his meal!
Pei Song was shocked, seeing that the dark horse was about to surpass him.
Without caring about anything else, he tightened his legs again, the white horse let out a long neigh, and then it ran wildly at a rapid speed as if it had been injected with chicken blood!
The gap widened again, with the dark horse falling behind by half a step.
Pei Song's breathing was a little unstable, but his eyes were still calm.
Seeing that the competition was getting more and more intense, it was like a fierce fighting game on the battlefield.
There is only half a lap left to go.
Pei Song held his breath, used all his life's knowledge, and stimulated the white horse's instant explosive power.
Sprint!
But I finally left the dark horse far behind, but I still can't let go completely.
That dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of him in his peripheral vision!
He was a little bit unbelievable, and before he could even react, he saw that in the last section of the journey, the figure on the black horse almost stood up from the horse's back!
One man and one horse, combined into one, with whip in hand, they charge forward proudly!
"drive!"
The horse's hooves rustle, and the bird flies by like a shooting star!
While Pei Song was astonished, the dark horse had already taken the lead and rushed to the finish line!
At the same time, Zhou Dingyu, riding on the black horse, looked back in a dashing manner, his chest heaving violently, his hormones overflowing.
The man's lips curled up with a wicked smile , " Vice President Pei, thank you for letting me."
Zhou Dingyu's "astonishing" reversal was also seen by Xu Li in the stands.
She was completely shocked by what she had just seen and she stood there in a daze.
The scene just now was replaying uncontrollably in her mind——
The sky is as vast as the sea, with raging winds and waves. The man riding on the black horse, with his irresistible power, is unstoppable!
Like an eagle soaring freely in the wind, it will ambush with precision when the hunting moment comes!
...
At this moment, the victorious man looked around proudly and his eyes met hers.
With just a glance, Xu Li's heart trembled violently!
That look was completely different from what he had before.
Like an emperor looking down upon everything.
Arrogant, solemn and powerful.
--
Zhou Dingyu won.
The result of this competition was completely beyond Xu Li's expectations, but Pei Song had obviously tried his best.
After saying to Zhou Dingyu, "Pei is convinced," he went to change his clothes.
In the rest area, Xu Li prepared to wait for Pei Song to change his clothes and go back with him.
Zhou Dingyu was leaning on the sofa, his black hair was blown messy by the wind, making his appearance look even more elegant and unrestrained.
Realizing that the man was looking at her, Xu Li raised her lips slightly and said , " Congratulations."
Zhou Dingyu chuckled, found a comfortable position, and crossed his legs . " Miss Xu's congratulations sound a bit insincere. Are they sincere?"
Xu Li met the man's gaze with a frank expression , " Of course."
She was willing to accept defeat.
There's nothing to be unwilling about.
However, she never expected that Zhou Dingyu was so powerful.
In principle, after witnessing the other party winning the game, she admired the other party.
But if the other party already knew that his strength was superior to Pei Song's, he would take the initiative to propose using Qiulin's tourism project as a bet in the competition.
This is a bit like deliberately teasing people.
Zhou Dingyu tapped the armrest of the chair with his slender knuckles , " Does Miss Xu regret it?"
Xu Li blinked in confusion , " What are you regretting?"
Zhou Dingyu sneered, his dark eyes showing a hint of seriousness . " If you choose me, I will definitely not let you down."
Xu Li choked up in her heart and said seriously:
"Mr. Zhou, I accept the defeat. I am responsible for my choice. If I could do it again, I would still choose Pei Song."
Hearing this, the man's eyes darkened instantly and he said sarcastically , " What a pity, Miss Xu's vision is not very good, and the person she chose is too weak."
Xu Li lowered her eyes slightly, not wanting to pay too much attention to this arrogant man.
Although the other party does have the capital to be arrogant.
But her ignoring it doesn't mean the other party will let her go.
The sound of the Buddhist beads being rubbed was heard, along with the man's regretful voice:
"It seems that Miss Xu still doesn't pay much attention to Qiulin's tourism project. Otherwise, this cooperation might really be possible."
Xu Li raised her eyelids , " What do you mean, Mr. Zhou?"
Zhou Dingyu smiled meaningfully and played with the Buddhist beads in his hand, "Literally."
Xu Lixing opened her eyes slightly.
Pei Song lost.
Hasn’t the cooperation fallen through?
Is there still a chance of turning around?!
Xu Li held her breath and asked , " You mean, will you consider Qiulin's tourism project again?""Ms. Xu, do you want me to reconsider it?" Zhou Dingyu asked suddenly, staring into the woman's eyes without blinking.Xu Li pursed her lips.Of course she wanted him to reconsider, but if the price for him to reconsider was for her to follow him and become his long-term bed partner ...Xu Li hesitated , " I ... "Zhou Dingyu seemed to be able to see through her concerns and put the Buddhist beads back on his wrist. The dark light made the skin on his wrist look even colder and more inhuman.He stood up and walked towards Xu Li:"As long as Miss Xu opens her mouth and says a few soft words to make me happy, I might really change my mind and agree to invest."Say a few soft words?Xu Li looked up into the man's smiling eyes , " Why?"Why did he suddenly change his mind and was willing to cooperate with Xu just because I sa
Stumbling, Xu Li was led by the man into the dark living room.She didn't even have time to say anything, the man got straight to the point and pushed her down onto the narrow sofa in the small apartment.Xu Li had already recognized who the other person was. In panic, she subconsciously asked , " What are you doing!""Heh ... " The man sneered and clamped her cheek, "Debt collection."She breathed rapidly, and as her eyes gradually adjusted to the light, she saw Zhou Dingyu's distinctive face and dark peach blossom eyes.There was red at the corners of his eyes, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.For no reason, a feeling of timidity emerged in Xu Li's heart. She cleared her throat and said , " You ... what's wrong with you ... "The man loosened his grip on her cheek, and his voice became low and cold, mixed with a hint of teasing and mockery."It's not Miss Xu's turn to worry about this."Xu Li opened her mouth.Be
After the two left, Xu Li walked inside without hesitation.Suddenly, the sound of guests talking came into her ears."Hey, did you know? This engagement invitation was handwritten by me on Tuesday!""real?""Of course it's true, how could I lie to you!""That shows how much Young Master Zhou values Miss Luo!""Who says it's not true? I heard that Miss Luo is an orphan and has no relatives in Yucheng. To be favored by Mr. Zhou Er, she is truly a phoenix that has flown to the tree and become famous!""Hey, have you heard? Miss Xu, who was previously engaged to Mr. Zhou, hasn't been doing well lately. She's been in a state of depression.""Tsk ... People say things change over time. After what happened to the Xu family, they are no longer worthy of the Zhou family! She's self-aware enough to call off the engagement!"...Everyone was chatting away, completely unaware that Xu Li, the person they were talking about "not
Someone started it, and more people agreed.What's more, they started praising and commenting on Xu Li one by one from her demeanor to her appearance.Indeed.Although her dress today is not eye-catching, it is refreshing.The light blue modified cheongsam has a regular style, and her hair is pinned back with a wooden hairpin.The lips are red without being dotted, and the eyebrows are green without being painted.Just sit there coldly.Those beautiful eyes were charming and bright.At this moment, her cool and elegant temperament, because of her calmness, made people only dare to watch from afar and not touch her.At this moment, Zhou Huaian and Luo Ling, who had just gone outside to greet guests, had returned.There was constant discussion around, and when Luo Ling appeared, some comparative voices naturally emerged."Hey, hey, hey, did you see that? The difference is obvious when compared like this!""
Faced with everyone's pursuit and attention, Zhou Dingyu seemed to accept everyone.Xu Li turned her head slightly and looked over, and could see the man with his head slightly lowered, shaking his red wine glass, nonchalantly responding to the people who were greeting him.This was the first time she saw elegance and arrogance coexisting in one person.It seems that Zhou Dingyu has this kind of ability.A kind of ... relaxed feeling like an emperor who is in control of everything.Dazzling and eye-catching, lazy and easy-going.But after these few contacts, Xu Li has deeply realized that you can't judge a person by his appearance alone.The opponent's ruthlessness that can crush everything is unpredictable and full of danger.It's like a time bomb, it might explode at any time.Experience tells her that it is best to stay away from the other person unless necessary.Thinking of this, Xu Li calmly took the wine glass
Xu Li lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, curling her lips in self-mockery , " Of course."He held the wine glass with both hands, raised it high in front of Zhou Huaian and Luo Ling, and suppressed the bitterness rising in his throat:"I wish you ... a happy marriage, a son soon, and eternal love."After saying this, he tilted his head back and drank the glass of wine in one gulp.After finishing the glass of wine, she finally felt drunk, like a surge, tearing apart her sanity.Her eyes were red.Fortunately, she did not completely lose her composure, and she hid the redness of her eyes well by pretending to lower her head.But this still did not escape the "eyes of those with ulterior motives".The people at the same table began to whisper:"She's not still thinking about Zhou Huaian, is she?"Someone lowered his voice and said, "It seems to me that he just drank one cup after another. It's obvious that he still h
Zhou Dingyu tightened his jaw and said in a cold tone , " Don't do it yet."She wanted to see how far she could go.Zhao Zhe didn't ask any more questions and drove slowly following.Until under the streetlight, the figure, perhaps drunk to the extreme, leaned against the streetlight and slowly fell down ...Zhao Zhe asked Zhou Dingyu again , " Mr. Zhou ... "Zhou Dingyu ground his back teeth and rolled the Buddhist beads with greater force.Seeing that the thugs who were waiting to "pick up the corpse" had parked their motorcycles, they rubbed their hands and walked towards the woman with a ruthless look on their faces.Zhou Dingyu paused while grinding the Buddhist beads, his dark eyes darkened, and then he opened his mouth and said , " Stop the car."As the car stopped by the roadside, the tall and slender man leaned over and got out.He glanced indifferently at the hooligans who were walking towards Xu Li with a coveto
Zhou Dingyu , " Literally.""You ... you didn't touch me? Then the clothes I was wearing ... ""I asked the maid to change it."After saying that, Zhou Dingyu clapped his hands, and a servant came in holding the clothes she wore yesterday:"Ms. Xu, the marks you vomited on your clothes last night have been cleaned up. You can wear them without worry."Xu Li took it calmly and smelled the fragrance of detergent still remaining on the clothes.Only then did I understand the reason.It turns out that she misunderstood Zhou Dingyu ...Embarrassment ensued.She opened her mouth and was about to say something to apologize to the man, but Zhou Dingyu had already turned and left when she took the clothes.When she changed her clothes and went downstairs, the man was no longer in the house.The servant came over at this time and pulled out the chair next to the dining table . " Miss Xu, the master has gone to work. Befo
After Zhou Dingyu finished speaking, Xu Li was stunned for a moment, not realizing why he suddenly asked this.Because he didn't receive a reply, Zhou Dingyu slowly opened his eyelids and looked straight over, with red bloodshot veins clearly visible in his eyes.Xu Li saw this and her heart skipped a beat. "I ... "Zhou Dingyu smiled, his calm eyes like a deep pool that could swallow everything, "Will it?"Xu Li pursed her lips tightly, met the other person's gaze, and had a myriad of thoughts in her mind.Of course she had thought about this question."No." She met the man's gaze and said firmly."If I could go back to the past and start all over again, I would say goodbye to you properly and would not leave without saying goodbye."Zhou Dingyu's eyes were fixed on Xu Li's face, as if something that had sunk into the abyss of memory was being salvaged by a pair of warm hands.The warmth that came towards him gave him the
In the Xingfu community.Since it was a rest day and Xu Li had not gotten a good rest last night after tossing and turning, she stayed in bed for a while this morning.It was not until she was extremely thirsty that she slipped into her slippers and went to the living room to get some water.After drinking a glass of water, I was still in a daze.I was rubbing my eyes and was about to go back to the bedroom for a nap when there was an unexpected knock on the door.She thought it was Xu Shiyan who had rushed back early in the morning, so she walked over to open the door.But after opening the door, he was stunned when he saw Zhou Dingyu, who was covered in morning mist and had a hint of fatigue in his eyes and brows."you ... ""Just woke up?" Zhou Dingyu spoke, his low and hoarse voice rolled over the leaves like dewdrops and slid onto Xu Li's heart.Xu Li blinked subconsciously, still looking dazed as if she had just woke
After Cheng Xuefei handed "Congratulations" to the veterinarian, she supported herself on the ground and tried to stand up. She felt pain in her feet and frowned and hissed.Zhou Dingyu noticed her abnormality and asked , " What's wrong?"Cheng Xuefei pursed her lips, her face pale as she did not answer.At this time, a servant explained , " Miss Cheng ran too fast to save 'Gongxi' and accidentally sprained her ankle ... "Zhou Dingyu frowned slightly, "Why is it so big ... "He stopped talking halfway through the scolding, perhaps because he saw Cheng Xuefei's red eyes and that she looked really hurt, and changed his tone, softening it a bit."Are you ok?"Cheng Xuefei had tears at the corners of her eyes. She sniffed and her voice, which was always called "Queen", was a little bit pinched at this moment. She groaned softly, "It hurts ... "Zhou Dingyu stepped forward and extended his arm. Cheng Xuefei's eyes were misty with te
The taste of pineapple permeated between her lips and teeth. It should have been slightly sour, but with Zhou Dingyu's gentle and affectionate kiss, Xu Li did not feel the slightest bit of sourness.The man's tongue was nimble, scraping every corner of her mouth.Her numb brain seemed to be soaked in pineapple soda, bubbling with fine and soft bubbles.There was even an indescribable sweetness that was eroding her taste buds and reason inch by inch.And just as the two were kissing passionately ...In the suburban manor at that time.Cheng Xuefei, who was sent back to the manor by Zhao Zhe, is caught in a huge emotional whirlpool ...She was helped to sit on the sofa and looked at Zhao Zhe, questioning, "Why didn't he come back?"Zhao Zhe , " The boss has something else to do and can't leave."Cheng Xuefei clenched her teeth and then loosened them, "I don't care, call him back to me! I want to see him now!"Although
Zhou Dingyu picked up the phone, glanced down, clicked the answer button, and locked his eyes on Xu Li opposite him.He said to Cheng Xuefei on the other end of the phone, "What's wrong?"On the other end of the phone, Cheng Xuefei's voice was drunk again, "Dingyu ... come and pick me up ... "Zhou Dingyu frowned, "Drinking again?"" ... Well, if you don't come back, it will be boring for me to stay in the manor alone."Zhou Dingyu took a breath, his eyes still fixed on Xu Li across the table, "Wait."After saying that, he hung up the phone.Just when Xu Li thought that Zhou Dingyu would get up immediately and go out to find Cheng Xuefei, Zhou Dingyu's slender fingers tapped on the screen of his mobile phone and made a call.The call was connected quickly.Zhou Dingyu , " Go do something."Xu Li heard Zhao Zhe's familiar voice leaking from the phone, "You order.""Go pick up Cheng Xuefei and send her to the man
After Xu Li returned to her workstation, she continued to draw the design. After a long while, the heat on her face finally subsided.Perhaps it was because the restlessness in my heart disappeared, and my inspiration was overflowing, making creation unusually easy.By the time I got off work, I had made a lot of progress.Stretching her waist, Xu Li packed up her things and prepared to go to the vegetable market to buy some ingredients to cook at home.It was evening, the rush hour for getting off work. Xu Li was driving seriously and did not notice that there was a silver-gray Porsche following her closely.After arriving at the vegetable market, Xu Li picked out some seasonal ingredients, then left the market and prepared to go home.But just as I started the car, I glanced at the entrance of the vegetable market not far away and saw a familiar figure standing there waving at me.Zhou Dingyu?The man was wearing a well-tailor
After Xu Li finished speaking, she pursed her lips stubbornly, looking like a sulky child.Zhou Dingyu naturally realized that although she seemed to be saying harsh words, she was actually just saying them in anger.For some reason, I wanted to play a trick on her.Zhou Dingyu narrowed his peach blossom eyes and pretended to be thinking seriously. He hesitated for a moment."Well ... your suggestion is not impossible ... "Xu Li stood up straight, her body slightly tense, her breathing paused, she looked at the man, waiting for him to continue."But I think the interest issue needs further discussion."Xu Li held back the suffocation that was spreading rapidly in her heart and pinched her fingertips. "If Mr. Zhou feels that it is inappropriate, you can make a request."Zhou Dingyu nodded slowly, and his fingers climbed up to the Buddhist beads on his wrist and gently rubbed them."According to the bank's highest interest
Almost as soon as Xu Li finished speaking, Cheng Xuefei's voice suddenly came from outside the office door, "Dingyu?"Then, the door lock started to rattle.It seemed that it was not opened, and a familiar male voice came from far away."Director Cheng?" It was Zhao Zhe."Assistant Zhao, is President Zhou in there?""He should be here. Director Cheng, what do you want to talk to President Zhou about?""Oh, there are some work matters that I need to discuss with Mr. Zhou ... but the door seems to be locked from the inside.""Lock it?""yes.""Let me try."The door lock sounded again.Xu Li was startled and subconsciously tried to push Zhou Dingyu away, but was firmly pinned to the bed by the man's big hands."Don't be nervous." Zhou Dingyu's breathing was so close to her that it felt itchy in her ears.But more than that, it was the stiffness caused by extreme panic.The next moment, Zhou Dingy
The fierce rejection did not cause the other party to hesitate at all. Xu Li turned her head to the side, trying to avoid his close kiss.He was still trying to dissuade her:"Zhou Dingyu, please calm down, don't stay here ... "The little woman's chest heaving violently showed her nervousness.He turned her little face so that she was forced to look at him, his heavy breath sprayed on her face, his voice was low,"The window material is anti-peep. Floor-to-ceiling window play, don't you like it?"Xu Li's face suddenly turned red, and then she shook her head again.It's not okay to use anti-peeping, and the office door is only closed, not locked. What if someone pushes the door and comes in ...No ... Even without these external factors, she can't ...It's time to go to work.She is just an ordinary employee who comes to report her work.And ... recalling the conversation between Cheng Xuefei and Zhou Dingyu th
