Chapter 95 – Putting on Horse Armature
Sponsored Content
Mu Xiulun charged towards the north city’s racecourses from the Mu Family’s mansion situated on the capital’s west mountain with the fastest speed in his life.
He couldn’t explain what he wanted to do. After all, he couldn’t say that he wanted to see how his “ex-girlfriend” was going to compete against his “current girlfriend” right?
Nevertheless, he still went, feeling complicated.
As a playboy, he really didn’t live up to his name. No matter whether it was his ex-girlfriend or his current girlfriend, their statuses weren’t confirmed.
On the way, he specially took time out to call his secretary.
Right now, the secretary was in front of the computer when his boss had called him.
Mu Xiulun asked sinisterly, “Gao Ling, can’t you control your mouth?!”
Secretary Gao immediately complained about the injustice, saying, “Boss, I have my personal integrity regarding my career! The moment the company’s classified business information enters my stomach, I’ll make sure to never spit it out. If we lived during an era of revolution, my name would be in primary school textbooks!”
“You didn’t say anything? If you didn’t say anything, how did Su Jin find out Linda Hu is my girlfriend?”
“….”
Secretary Gao was extremely quick-witted and immediately thought through the cause and effect. He slapped his legs and exclaimed. “Oh my! So, she’s the one who’s going to shoot a magazine cover!”
He hurriedly explained all that had happened and then vowed that he’d never exposed the boss’s personal life to anyone.
Secretary Gao expressed his loyalty and he said, “Mr. Mu, I’ll head to the racecourse right away!”
Mu Xiulun asked in a bad mood, “Why are you going to the racecourse? The shooting has already started. Linda Hu and her are like “friends at first sight.” You’ll only see a horse’s tail by the time you arrive there.”
“The current girlfriend and the ex-girlfriend are like sisters and not fighting. Even India can’t shoot scenes of this love triangle within an affluent family. I obviously want to be at the scene and witness it with my own eyes.”
“….”
Mu Xiulun asked, “Do you dislike the benefits you receive from the company such as the high salary and long vacation?”

Secretary Gao lived very close to the racecourse. By the time Mu Xiulun’s luxurious car entered the racecourse, the secretary’s Tesla also appeared quickly behind.
The racecourse covered about 100 mu. The land price right now was skyrocketing.
[*T/N: mu = unit of measure which is about 600000 square feet. ]
The moment they entered, they saw the specialized racecourses for horse races. There were a few trained steeds that were practicing right now.
Mu Xiulun loved horses and would normally come and stay here for a while, chatting with the jockeys. But, he couldn’t attend to the affairs right now as his gaze was trained on the pastureland following the limestone path. He drove straight to it.
By the empty land on the east pastureland was a temporary workshed. The crew walked in and out, seemingly unusually busy.
By a corner of the workshed, there was an open dressing room. In front of the mirror, the honey-skinned woman sat with her back facing everyone while quietly stared at her reflection.
It was the transition between late summer and early autumn right now and the temperature in the suburbs was much colder than room temperature. Everyone in the crew was wearing long pants and sleeves, everyone except her.
Except for the few narrow strips of fabric covering her sensitive parts, she was bare. Yet, she didn’t shrink back due to fear of the cold. Instead, she stood tall and straight.
There were 3-4 people by her side, carefully tidying her up. There was someone braiding her long hair and another kneeling on the ground tending to her nails.
She was surrounded by everyone like stars revolving around the sun.
Mu Xiulun didn’t detect this and his breath couldn’t help but slow down. The beautiful figure standing in front of the mirror seemed to hold some sort of magic. His beating heart suddenly softened, clutched by a huge magnet and pulled him towards her.
How long did he remain mesmerized?
It might be five seconds or even ten. But by the time he finally realized what happened, he’d already walked into the workshed, and was now only a step away from Su Jishi.
However, Su Jishi saw his figure from the mirror first.
She raised her arm and lazily greeted him, asking, “Why is Mr. Mu here?”
Mu Xiulun had a slew of thoughts. Why did I come? I came to settle accounts with you. How can you ride my beloved horse without my permission? Who gave you the right to act rude and fierce?
Yet, his mouth seemed to have a mind of its own. “Is there a reason why I can’t attend the shooting? Even if you guys have to clear the scene, I am the horse’s owner, so I won’t go.”
No one knew where Secretary Gao came from, but he stared at a bikini clad Su Jishi with a red face. “I am secretary to the horse’s owner. Therefore, if you guys want to clear the place, I won’t go either!”
Mu Xiulun: “……”
……
There were about 20 or so crew members sent by the publication house. An addition of two more wasn’t much or less. Fang Xie called someone to bring over a chair in order to let Mu Xiulun sit outside and watch.
Mu Xiulun shifted his gaze towards the vast pastureland. Linda Hu’s black hair entwined with the colorful flowers, softly cascading down her neck. Unlike humans, horses are characterized by horizontal pupils. If one took a closer look, one could see a bottomless canyon. Right now, it was staring curiously at the girl who was about to shoot a magazine cover with the pair of bottomless eyes.
Normally, a race horse team comprises a horse owner, a jockey and a hostler. Linda Hu had a total of three owners, five jockeys and countless hostlers that tended to her. She was long used to human-interactions, but the girl in front of her made her feel different.
Horses cannot differentiate the beauty of people, but have a keen sense of smell. Linda Hu could sense the fragrance wafting from the flowers on her and the feeling of kindness she was emanating.
The girl raised her hand and gently patted the horse’s profile. Then, she slowly slid her hand down, towards its throat. She curled her fingers and scratched the horse’s chin.
Linda Hu stared at the girl in front of her and she blinked her long and thick eyelashes. Suddenly, she did something unexpected. She gently lowered her head and with her chin softly touched the girl’s neck. From the side view, her entire back seemed to be relaxed and natural.
Looking at this scene, the owner of the racecourse said in shock, “It actually accepted the horse armature!”
“Accepting the title*” is the same as the horse “accepting the horse armature”. The armature refers to the ironware in the horse’s mouth. The rider uses the reins to connect to the ironware to steer the horse.
[E/D: Here the ‘title’ refers to accepting a human, allowing a human to touch, command etc.]
There were some prideful horses that refused to be reined in by unfamiliar jockeys. No matter how much the jockey pulled on the reins, the horse would “avoid the horse armature” by turning its head around or resisting against the reins.
After Mu Xiulun bought Linda Hu from the previous horse owner, he transported her back to the capital from the warm Macao through a chartered plane. Linda Hu didn’t like the dry climate, so she originally threw a lot of tantrums when she first arrived in a place with four distinct seasons. Whenever Mu Xiulun rode on her back, she would do everything she could to avoid his commands. It was recently that she had gradually started to listen to him. Who knew that this tsundere “current girlfriend” actually accepted the horse armature from his “ex-girlfriend”!
Mu Xiulun was speechless.
