Chapter 141 An Ruoruo Wins
In the end, Wu Cheng was unable to embrace Wen Yao, and for several days, he was kept under close watch by Fu Jinzhi.
Fifth Cheng laughed and said, "Fu, you are more cruel than Juliet's father. Wen is your wife, not your daughter."
Fu Jinzhi sneered, "My fists are even more brutal. Do you want to taste them?"
Fifth Cheng spread his hands and left helplessly, still carrying the casual air that you can lie flat or on your side, but I will always be dashing and debonair.
Fu Jinzhi's lips twitched. He turned to look at Wen Yao, his handsome face full of seriousness:
"Yaoyao, you need to be careful of Fifth Cheng's sneak attacks. He's a shameless guy."
Wen Yao found it amusing; Fu Jinzhi could be really childish at times, but he was also quite adorable.
Her eyes were full of laughter, sparkling with moisture, and her voice was soft and sweet, "My lord, wouldn't you like to take your little canary out and about during these two days of free time?"
Fu Jinzhi instinctively adopted the demeanor of a sugar daddy, but soon a hint of dejection crept into his expression as he listlessly glanced around.
Wen Yao instantly guessed what he was thinking: he was afraid there were acquaintances around, especially elders.
Wen Yao affectionately rubbed Fu Jinzhi's handsome face, "Don't be afraid, adjust your mindset, we are already in F country now."
No elder will suddenly appear.
If Fu Jinzhi can't adjust her mindset, then on the day of the banquet, the two of them will have to put on a show of domineering canary love.
After accompanying Wen Yao to visit several iconic attractions and sample all the local delicacies, enjoying life purely as a tourist, Fu Jinzhi received a message: the X country official he wanted to meet had already landed in F country.
This means Fu Jinzhi's short vacation is over, and he will have to return to his demanding work.
Even though Fu Jinzhi left an assistant who was fluent in French to stay with Wen Yao, she didn't go out for the next few days.
Being unfamiliar with the place and not speaking the language are secondary; an introverted person only has the motivation to go out when they are with someone they like.
Worried that Wen Yao might get bored by herself, the assistant warmly invited her to feed the pigeons at the nearby square.
Considering that she hadn't left the house for two days, Wen Yao readily agreed to the suggestion.
This square has become a gathering place for pigeons to beg for food. They have long been accustomed to the presence of humans. They leisurely peck at food, stroll around, or spread their wings and fly in the square, free and at ease.
Wen Yao held the bread her assistant had bought, tore it into pieces, and fed it to the pigeons, muttering to herself:
"Hey pigeons, be careful not to urinate or defecate on your heads."
"If you're hungry, there's bread; if your stomach rumbles, you'd better run."
Assistant: "..."
Wen Yao was on guard against the pigeons being dropped when she suddenly heard a familiar voice, "What a coincidence, sister-in-law, you've come to F country too."
Wen Yao turned around in silence and met An Ruoruo's pure and beautiful face. Standing next to her was a burly man with blond hair and blue eyes, whose aura was very intimidating.
Before Wen Yao could speak, An Ruoruo took two more steps forward, "That's right, Brother Fu will definitely attend this banquet."
Wen Yao was too lazy to play along with her. "Yes, what a coincidence. Do you need something? If not, I'm going to feed the pigeons."
An Ruoruo was displeased, but she still smiled and said, "Sister-in-law likes feeding pigeons? That's perfect!"
An Ruoruo: "I know there's a pier not far away, with lots of pigeons and a beautiful sea view."
An Ruoruo's eyes darted around, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them. She smiled sweetly and said, "It just so happens that there are two of us, my friend and I, and you're also traveling alone. Why don't we rent two tandem bicycles and ride to the dock together?"
The man beside her, whether he could understand Chinese or not, simply stared at An Ruoruo with deep affection, without making any reaction.
The assistant's eyes widened, and she tugged at Wen Yao's sleeve, "Boss, the nearest dock is more than forty kilometers away from here!"
Riding a bike there would be exhausting!
Wen Yao was speechless. 40 kilometers and she still called it not far? An Ruoruo must be really sick.
Seeing the unpleasant expressions on Wen Yao's and her assistant's faces, An Ruoruo felt even more smug. Wasn't Wen Yao supposed to be good at physical strength? She wanted to see just how good her physical strength really was!
An Ruoruo's friends had been mercenaries for several years and had physical strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, so she didn't believe that they could lose to Wen Yao.
Moreover, Wen Yao's assistant was wearing high heels, which suggested she had only average stamina.
She covered her mouth and chuckled, "Your sister-in-law was in great shape when she went hiking a few days ago, is she weak now? I dared to ride it, what are you afraid of!"
His tone was full of inflammatory rhetoric, and even the assistant frowned. Wen Yao was indeed swayed.
Wen Yao: "It's only a 40-kilometer bike ride, I'm not afraid at all!"
Assistant: "..."
Um, ma'am, I'm a little scared.
Thinking about her high salary, the assistant gritted her teeth and decided to risk her life to accompany the lady!
As soon as Wen Yao agreed, An Ruoruo's smile deepened. It was finally her turn to tease Wen Yao, and she finally had a chance to turn the tables.
She tied her long hair up and stared intently at Wen Yao's expression. "Then let's have a race to see who gets there first."
Wen Yao replied with high spirits: "No problem!"
The four of them quickly arrived at the rental place for tandem bicycles and rented two bicycles.
An Ruoruo's friend was indeed in great physical condition; as soon as the two sat down, the bicycle sped off into the distance like a streak of smoke.
The assistant was anxious and kicked twice hard.
Wen Yao said in a relaxed voice, "Don't rush, ride slowly."
The assistant asked in confusion, "Then you lose?"
Wen Yao slowly pedaled the bicycle, maneuvering the handlebars, and rode towards a place completely opposite to the dock.
"So what if we lost?"
"Only a fool would ride over 40 kilometers with them to feed pigeons. Come on, I'll treat you to dessert!"
The assistant was dumbfounded.
On the other side, An Ruoruo and her friends were riding bicycles at high speed.
Tandem cycling is far more difficult than single cycling. Even with her former mercenary friend providing most of the effort, An Ruoruo still felt sore all over after an hour.
Her back was soaked with sweat, and her clothes clung uncomfortably to her body. An Ruoruo gritted her teeth and persevered, thinking that her makeup was probably ruined.
But if she's already in so much pain, Wen Yao's group, consisting of only two weak women, must be in even more pain!
Imagining Wen Yao's miserable state, An Ruoruo endured for more than two hours before arriving at the dock.
It was evening when we arrived at our destination. The orange-red light shone on the sea, dazzling and beautiful, and the cafes on the shore were filled with rich aromas.
An Ruoruo's legs were weak when she got out of the car, but she had an excited smile on her face. She had won.
After tidying herself up a bit, An Ruoruo bought a few cups of coffee with a victor's air and sat on a bench to wait for Wen Yao.
Ten minutes passed.
Half an hour passed.
An hour has passed...
The sun had completely set, and the harbor lights shone brightly, all reflected on the sparkling sea.
But An Ruoruo had no heart to appreciate the breathtaking night view—Wen Yao and the others hadn't arrived yet!
Her friend couldn't help but ask, "Are they both lost?"
An Ruoruo bit her lip and made a video call to Wen Yao directly.
