Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind-Chapter 243

Ji Yanchuan tried to get up, but a sharp pain shot through his wrist, leaving him unable to rise. He could only look at Qiao Chuchu in panic.

The bright sunlight bathed her figure.

She was riding a horse, galloping toward him without a care in the world.

Then, with a leap, the horse effortlessly jumped over him!

His eyes widened, his heart pounding so hard it felt like it might burst out of his chest. His gaze followed her relentlessly!

Qiao Chuchu’s eyes sparkled with mischievous delight as she turned her head to look back at him, laughing freely. “Ji Yanchuan, you lost!”

Ji Yanchuan was stunned, unable to speak.

From the very beginning, Qiao Chuchu had carried an air of arrogance, as if she didn’t take him seriously at all.

She was confident he wouldn’t win against her.

On top of that, she had proactively attacked the people he had arranged, throwing his subordinates into disarray…

Could it be that she had anticipated he would try to trick her?!

Ji Yanchuan’s expression changed drastically!

If she really had guessed his plan, then was Qiao Chuchu even human?!

How did she always seem to know everything? And why did she always manage to outdo him?

A chilling sense of dread mixed with an inexplicable electric sensation surged through his body.

Ji Yanchuan stumbled to his feet, his eyes fixed on Qiao Chuchu’s retreating figure.

She was galloping toward a man with platinum-blonde hair.

Qiao Chuchu reached out her hand to Pei Buxian. “Pei Buxian, want to join me for a ride?”

Pei Buxian’s eyes lit up with amazement, and without hesitation, he took her hand.

With a gentle tug, Qiao Chuchu pulled him onto the horse!

Pei Youchuan was frantic. “Why didn’t Qiao Chuchu invite me too?!”

Weisheng Lin immediately dashed to the stables to pick a horse!

Pei Mu and Pei Ci quickly followed suit.

Shen Zhuoyan stood awkwardly in place, watching them with longing eyes as they headed to the stables.

Pei Youchuan turned to go to the stables but noticed Shen Zhuoyan standing still. He waved at him. “Come on, or else all the good horses will be taken by those scheming guys!”

Shen Zhuoyan hesitated, tempted to join but still rooted to the spot.

“C-can I really?” he asked uncertainly.

Pei Youchuan chuckled warmly. “Of course you can! Everyone’s playing, so why not you? It’s not like our family is stingy or anything.”

Shen Zhuoyan’s eyes brightened, and after a quick glance in Qiao Chuchu’s direction, he hurried into the stables.

Qiao Chuchu focused ahead, calling out to Pei Buxian, “Are you okay?”

Pei Buxian was puzzled. “What do you mean?”

She glanced at him sideways. “Weren’t you chasing after the car earlier? I didn’t get out because I had no choice, not because I didn’t care about you.”

*Sigh, even though I said that, Pei Buxian’s unreasonable nature probably won’t believe me.*

Pei Buxian’s brows furrowed almost imperceptibly. “I know.”

Qiao Chuchu was surprised. “You know?”

His hair fluttered slightly in the wind, revealing a face so delicate it was almost androgynous, like a beautiful kitten. He rested his head on her shoulder and said softly, “Sometimes I might not understand, but if you say you had no choice, I’ll believe you.”

Whether he could hear her thoughts or not.

As long as she said she had no choice, he would believe her.

But Qiao Chuchu didn’t believe him. “You’re so carefree, yet you chased after the car?”

“Chasing the car and being carefree are two different things,” Pei Buxian said, nuzzling her shoulder with a hint of insecurity. “At that moment, I was terrified, afraid you’d leave me behind like you did seven years ago.”

Qiao Chuchu was baffled. “Huh?”

His long lashes lowered, making him look like a child afraid of losing something precious. “Ever since we had that rift between us, I’ve always felt like I couldn’t hold onto you.”

Qiao Chuchu found it absurd and glanced at his hand clutching her sleeve. “But aren’t you holding on right now?”

Pei Buxian was taken aback.

She ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‍noticed Pei Youchuan and the others catching up on their horses and cheerfully announced, “And now you better hold on tight—I’m speeding up!”

Pei Buxian’s heart raced as he tightened his grip around her waist. “I’m holding on! And I’m holding on tight!”

Pei Youchuan rode up hastily. “Pei Buxian, get off! A grown man sitting behind a young lady—aren’t you embarrassed?!”

Pei Buxian stuck out his tongue. “No way! You’re just jealous!”

Pei Youchuan was speechless. “???”

Weisheng Lin galloped ahead, closing in on Qiao Chuchu, and even managed to make a phone call. “Play that song—‘The Brave and Mighty Herdsman’!”

The person on the other end of the line was confused. “What song?”

Soon, the corresponding BGM began playing over the speakers at the riding field.

Pei Yuan and Pei Che hurried to the stables, unable to resist joining in after seeing the commotion on the monitors.

Weisheng Biehe followed closely, turning back expectantly. “Big brother, are you coming?”

Weisheng Wenzhan adjusted his glasses and sat in the waiting area, smiling as he glanced at the scene. “I’ll pass. I’ll just watch you all have fun.”

Qiao Chuchu rode by and spotted Weisheng Wenzhan, stopping her horse in exasperation. “Wenzhan, why are you here too? Don’t you all have work to do?”

Weisheng Wenzhan crossed his legs, leaning back comfortably in his chair, and smiled up at her. “Delaying work to come here was worth it. After all, what happened earlier was hard to ignore.”

Qiao Chuchu sighed. “You’re all such gossips.”

Wenzhan pushed his glasses up and replied calmly, “In a way, I don’t think it’s gossip. It’s more like concern. You just got over a cold, and my brother is especially worried about you.”

Pei Buxian, sitting behind Qiao Chuchu, poked his head out with a sulky expression. “If your brother’s so concerned, why are you here? Can you split his concern?”

Weisheng Wenzhan’s smile stiffened, and he shot Pei Buxian a cool glance. “Keep playing the pitiful crybaby, Mr. Pei Buxian.”

Pei Buxian retorted, “Chuchu doesn’t mind if I cry.”

Qiao Chuchu wriggled out of his grasp, pouting. “Actually, I do mind.”

Pei Buxian puffed out his cheeks. “You’re just saying that. I don’t believe you!”

Pei Mu and Pei Ci rode up, scolding, “Pei Buxian, let go of Qiao Chuchu! Stop clinging to her!”

Pei Yuan led his horse out and barked, “Pei Buxian, have you no shame? Get down right now!”

Pei Che gripped his reins, glaring coldly at Pei Buxian. “Pei Buxian, I’ll count to three. If you don’t get down, don’t bother coming home tonight. Go wherever you want.”

Pei Buxian pouted, hiding behind Qiao Chuchu and muttering, “No, I won’t.”

Qiao Chuchu, now noticing Pei Che’s presence, was puzzled. “Didn’t I tell you all not to follow me? Why are you here?”

*And they all came. It’s starting to feel a bit creepy. Don’t they realize they’re getting too close? It’s really clingy.*

Pei Che froze for a moment but quickly replied, “Who said we’re following you? We’re just here to ride horses.”

Qiao Chuchu raised an eyebrow. “Really?”

Pei Youchuan nodded. “Yeah, we’re just here to ride horses. Who said we came for you?”

Qiao Chuchu narrowed her eyes, seeing right through them. “Then why are you wearing staff uniforms?”

Pei Youchuan’s mouth twitched. “I changed jobs, okay?”

She drawled sarcastically, “Oh~ so you all changed jobs. Fine, you can all work here from now on. Just transfer your companies to me.”

The Pei family members chorused, “Sure, go ahead. You already own shares in our companies anyway.”

Qiao Chuchu was stunned. “What?”

Weisheng Lin burst out laughing, teasing, “What are we waiting for? Let’s congratulate Qiao Chuchu on becoming the chairman of so many companies!”
