Chapter 100: Sleepless Mountain Wild Horse

-

When the ultraviolet rays weren't so strong, a few people started going into the sea to play. The seawater was warm from the sun. There weren't many people in this area, and it was quite deep.

Ye Qingchi handed out life jackets to the girls, saying considerately, "Hey, if you can't swim, don't be stubborn, put this on."

He fastened the strap to his girlfriend, told her to be careful, then handed it to Wen Yining, hesitated for a moment, and said nothing.

Wen Yining glanced at him and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Ye Qingchi was actually quite gentle with girls and had almost never said anything harsh, but there were some things she couldn't help saying, "You saw us in the parking lot of Bailong that day, right?"

"Um."

She took off her life jacket, tied her hair up, and put it in a loose bun.

Ye Qingchi, wearing sunglasses, glanced at her figure and said, "When that guy hit you, I asked him if we should do anything about it, and he said no. I thought it was pretty outrageous, but seeing that you didn't react, I didn't go over. It must be a private matter."

"He is my manager, this kind of thing is very common in the entertainment industry."

In order to control their artists, the company has even installed surveillance cameras in their rooms to record their dirty laundry. They also beat and verbally abuse them. It's always better to vent your anger in person than to resort to underhanded tactics.

"I knew it." Ye Qingchi nodded, understanding.

Are you still in contact with Chen Jiabai?

“No, I visited him in the hospital when they were fighting and hospitalized, and I haven’t seen him since.”

Ye Qingchi knew about this and went to the hospital, but he didn't run into her.

"So what's going on between you two? Have you really broken up? Or are you just having a cold war?"

Ye Qingchi glanced at her feigned indifference, then at Shen Yueze, that bastard who was pushing people into the sea, the repeated splashes creating large sprays of water. He was laughing unrestrainedly and licentiously. Just a few hours ago, he had been indifferent and absent-minded, acting as if anyone who spoke to him owed him money.

Although he has always lived a rather extravagant life, he has never gone out to play so frequently. Ye Qingchi had some family matters to attend to and did not go to Tokyo and Tahiti with him, but judging from his demeanor, one could guess that he was just trying to relax.

But after all that relaxation, why is he acting like this again?

She countered, "What do you think it resembles?"

"You two had another fight, didn't you? What was it about? He's been in a bad mood lately; you can tell he's got something on his mind."

"Do you think that even if we were to break up, it would be me who initiated it?"

In other words, whether to separate or stay together was not up to her; she never had the right to decide.

Ye Qingchi asked, "Then why is he reacting like this? He won't say anything when I ask him. I thought you two were having a cold war. A few days ago, Shi Yingmeng came over and kept pestering me to ask about his relationship status. By the way, I heard you're pregnant?"

"Pregnant?"

Xiang Yumin was changing clothes next to her when she heard the key information. She looked at her lower abdomen and said, "You're so thin. I can't even see your belly."

Wen Yining struggled with the question, realizing that explaining it was complicated, so she could only gloss over it, saying, "No, not now. Back then, we had just broken up, and Shi Yingmeng went to his hospital room to take care of him. Oh, and she also went to his house. I went there to get my luggage and that's when I bumped into her."

She couldn't help but ask, "So now, have they gotten back together?"

"Get back together? What do you mean, get back together? I haven't seen her lately,"

"Besides, I really don't think Shen Yueze is the type to go back to an old flame."

Ye Qingchi said something with a deeper meaning.

Of course she understood; she was one of those people she had gone back to.

He took a sip of his drink and said, "But you don't need to hang around him anymore. Out of sight, out of mind. It's Cheng Jingze who's the best. He's a real tyrant too."

"What's wrong with Cheng Jingze? We're not the kind of people who hang out every day, are we? But I really didn't know you were all here before I came. Do you believe me when I say that?"

“When I first started hanging out with Shen Yueze, I always avoided Chen Jiabai, afraid of being discovered by him. I didn’t want to escalate the conflict between them or let them fight. But as you can see, it was no use. Secrets can’t stay hidden forever. He’ll find out sooner or later.”

Ye Qingchi: "Actually, the girls around him have always been quite respectful to him, so he's always been polite to them, except for last week in the parking lot."

He paused, then said, "I feel like something must have happened between you two."

She asked, "So, who do you think is better to him, me or Shi Yingmeng?"

Ye Qingchi didn't reply immediately. After thinking for a moment, he couldn't figure it out.

She rephrased the question, "Who did you spend more money on?"

"You always wear luxury goods when you go out, isn't that good enough?"

"But I remember that Shi Yingmeng's tuition was paid by his father. If he hadn't been so insistent, his father wouldn't have gotten involved."

She felt a lump in her throat as she listened. She had brought it on herself. She knew it wasn't what she wanted to hear, but she couldn't help herself. Didn't she already know the answer? Why did she have to be so delusional?

Xiang Yumin couldn't understand what they were talking about, but her gossipy nature got the better of her, so she continued to ask about the child, "You and Shen Yueze had a relationship?"

"Um."

"And now?"

"We will never see each other again until we die."

Wen Yining replied, "They all like to play with girls' feelings and then leave cleanly. I was dumped just like everyone else. It's that simple."

Moreover, a playboy like him would never take the initiative to seek peace.

Xiang Yumin noticed that she was stunningly beautiful when she was on set. It's perfectly normal for a beautiful woman to have some romantic experience, so she casually said, "What about Cheng Jingze, who came with you this time? Isn't that relationship awkward?"

"We've only known each other for less than two days. He probably doesn't even know my name."

When she boarded the yacht, she wore a swimsuit under her T-shirt to prevent sunburn, and loose-fitting washed denim jeans underneath, a complete bikini set.

She grabbed the hem of her T-shirt with both hands, lifted it up, took it off, and threw it on the sofa. Then she bent down to unbuckle her jeans, revealing a pair of long legs and a large expanse of smooth back.

The bikini is dragon fruit colored, a color that makes the skin look dazzlingly white. It has a halter neck style with two thin straps tied at the back of the neck, and the fabric is only the size of a palm.

Xiang Yumin exclaimed, "Your waist is so thin! Wow..."

As she spoke, she looked down to compare it to her own, then helped her tighten the straps again, glancing upwards with her eyes, "Your short-sleeved shirt is so loose, you can't tell what your figure looks like at all."

"Be careful with your phone around your neck, don't let it get wet."

Xiang Yumin took it off, ready to take a picture of her, but she covered the lens and wouldn't let her take the picture. Xiang Yumin said, "What are you doing? What's wrong with taking a few pictures of you?"

Not trusting people she didn't know well, she made up an excuse, "My company won't allow it."

"Oh well."

"Go back, the other photos are fine."

She crouched down on the side, preparing to jump.

Jiang Lin and Qi Muyao on the sea were staring intently, engrossed in their game and ignoring the chatter around them, their eyes fixed on her.

He blurted out, "Now I know why Shen Yueze did such a despicable thing..."

After Xie Yuchen, that big mouth, spread the news about stealing Chen Jiabai's girlfriend to the group, she only complained a few times behind Shen Yueze's back, but didn't take it to heart.

It's not like we're getting married, so it's quite normal to fall for the same person.

There are plenty of bizarre people and melodramatic stories in their circle. There are even girls who used to work as escorts and made a lot of money. They change their names and identities to start a new life and marry rich men.

And this rich man's good friend happens to be a former client of the woman, and the news will spread quickly. He even mocks his friend in private for spending a lot of money to marry an escort. If you don't want to ruin someone's life, you should keep quiet.

Compared to Wen Yining, her story was not worth mentioning and did not leave a deep impression on them.

However, men are visual creatures, and seeing her figure today, I can understand why.

Jiang Lin chuckled and joked with the person in the know, "It's really not his fault for wanting to sleep with her."

Shen Yueze didn't hear what they were talking about. He looked over and was splashed with water by Li Xiayi, but he ignored her. Li Xiayi tried to hug his neck and said to him, "Carry me up."

His expression was cold and indifferent as he stared at the two palm-sized pieces of fabric that barely covered her, making her look like underwear. Images of her on the bed flashed through his mind: her frowning, her sweating, her rambling incoherently at the peak of her sexual desire, and her moaning.

Two months ago, he bought her a bikini of this style, which was even more revealing than the one he had picked out.

A note from the author:

There's a scene earlier where, when she was still Chen Jiabai's girlfriend, he wanted to see her in a swimsuit, so he bought one, but he still didn't get to see her. [eating popcorn emoji]

I had something to do today, so there was less activity.

There will be 8,000 words tomorrow!
