Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Horseback Riding

Zhu Zhuting glanced at him lightly and asked, “When are you going back to the hotel?”

“In a while.”

“Hmm.”

“Let me apply some ointment for you.” Zhu Youhua picked up the ointment that Lin Wen Yu had brought, unscrewed the white cap, and gently applied some to her forehead, “You’re a mom now, don’t be so careless all the time.”

“That was an accident.” Zhu Zhuting was somewhat displeased with him, “I’ll do it myself. You perform well in the livestream tomorrow, try to get as many discounts and offers as possible.”

They both came from small places.

They have fleeting dreams of big money but have been harshly struck by reality before. Although their relationship is awkward, with frequent arguments that have led to calm conversations only through divorce, their business philosophy aligns well now.

Steady and solid.

Never be tempted by small gains.

Stay persistent.

“I know, I’ll go then.” Zhu Youhua went to bid farewell to their son.

“Ah? Why, Dad, aren’t you staying with us?” Zhu Wenzhen said sadly.

“Daddy still has to prepare for tomorrow’s livestream. Take good care of your mom.” Zhu Youhua took a deep look at Zhu Zhuting who was holding a small mirror examining her wound, “Remember to call me if Mom feels unwell.”

“Oh.” Zhu Wenzhen was disappointed.

He was hoping his mom and dad would sleep together.

Straight away, his eyes rolled, and he said excitedly, “Mom, let’s go stay at the hotel with Dad!”

“I have a headache, too lazy to go.” Zhu Zhuting went back into the tent.

Zhu Wenzhen was let down, glanced at his dad with some disdain, “Dad, you’re not considerate at all, always making Mom upset. If you keep acting like this, Mom won’t pay attention to you.”

“You don’t understand, kid.”

Zhu Youhua took a long look at the tent.

Drove back to the hotel.

He and Zhu Zhuting had too many identities between them, and none of the relationships could be properly managed, leading to recurrent conflicts.

Yet, they deeply loved each other.

Unwilling to separate.

Having emerged from the countryside, they’re lovers, friends, relatives, and even comrades.

They share the most tacit cooperation, facing storms together.

Zhu Youhua couldn’t imagine a world without her but couldn’t control his own temper to vent it to anyone else.

Whew—

The prairie nights are somewhat scary; he’s a bit afraid of the dark, feeling eerie, and his phone rang with an awkward sound.

“Make sure to discuss the flow with the team when you return, tomorrow’s livestream might not have the highest number of viewers, but its influence will surely be significant.”

“Help me tomorrow.” Zhu Youhua said, the corner of his lips already holding a smile.

He knew it.

She would always care about him.

No matter what the situation.

Zhu Zhuting paused on the other side, “Tomorrow at four in the morning, I’ll get up to discuss the products with you.”

“Great!”

This was their first collaboration since their discord made it to the trending topics.

The sun had quietly risen, illuminating the earth.

Chu Xijin was the first to wake; yesterday, he’d arranged horse riding with a local herdsman via his aunt’s WeChat.

On the vast prairie, the young boy dressed in light ancient costume rode freely on a black horse.

The prairie wind tugged at the boy’s tidy hair, causing some long loose strands to fall yet adding to his free-spirited flair.

The horse also felt the freedom and joy, its hooves quickly pounding the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

The boy held the reins, skillfully controlling the direction and speed of the horse.

Xiao Jin sometimes sped up, making the horse gallop, sometimes slowed down to appreciate the surrounding scenery.

Feeling elated.

It was like returning to a familiar place.

His actions were captured on camera by the early riser Zhu Zhuting.

Zhu Zhuting really couldn’t understand it.

What kind of parents could raise such an all-round child, tut-tut-tut, fortunately, she didn’t set high standards for her child, otherwise, she’d surely drag her snoozing son up and scold, “See, he’s only five and can ride a horse, look at you, all you do is sleep, sleep, sleep all day, knowing nothing.”

Thinking of such a scene.

Zhu Zhuting was startled.

No way, her child wasn’t born to be a benchmark.

After watching Xiao Jin ride for a while, Zhu Zhuting reluctantly went to work, sharing the video with Mu Ran in passing.

Mu Ran was awakened by waves of aroma. When it came down to the final episode, the program team finally did a humane thing, letting them smell the fragrance of breakfast right when they woke up.

Not an easy task.

Mu Ran’s head peeked out first, squinting her eyes from the blazing sun.

“Auntie, you’re awake; there’s naan bread, pilaf, fried noodles, milk tea, fried dumplings.” Chu Xijin said.

“So much?”

“Yes, there’s fruit too; hurry up and come eat.”

“Is it free?”

“Yes, the program team is very generous today.” Chu Xijin found it unbelievable, usually, eating on the program required overcoming several obstacles each time.

“Alright, in a bit.”

Mu Ran quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face.

Found the setup for the livestream was already beginning outside, she held her milk tea, took a naan bread, leaned forward to ask, “Is the livestream selling products for real?”

“Morning, Director Mu.” Zhu Youhua politely greeted first, “Didn’t we agree yesterday? Today we’ll definitely do what we promised.”

“How long?”

“Two hours.”

“Okay, keep busy then.” Mu Ran went back to eating.

Zhu Youhua immediately snuggled next to Zhu Zhuting, gossiping, “How’s it going with her?”

“So-so, no grudges, no favors, no personal interactions.”

“Is she easy to get along with?”

“Depends on the person; I personally quite like her.” Zhu Zhuting glanced at her, “Why, didn’t you ask before?”

“No, just spoke to her for the first time, a little nervous.” Zhu Youhua, having met many people, was still perceptive enough.

Someone like Mu Ran.

Calm and cool, with a strong aura, looked like someone not easily dealt with.

But the online rumors were indeed true.

Mu Ran’s captivating presence, her heroic eyebrows, mysterious eyes, subtly lifted eye corners, when not smiling, resemble a volcanic beauty.

“Forget it, no matter how she is, it’s not relevant to me, I’ll focus on the livestream.”

“Hmm.” Zhu Zhuting didn’t mind his interest in Mu Ran as odd.

She too liked focusing on Mu Ran.

Who could resist paying attention to Mu Ran?

Such a gorgeous beauty, isn’t it?!

Although most people had desires without the nerve, a couple of glances were enough.

Capital time, eight in the morning.

The livestream officially started, Zhu Zhuting and Zhu Youhua surrounded by five left and right assistants.

They shouted.

“Is this wave of benefits strong enough—”

A loud shout: “No!”

“Is it cheap enough—”

A loud shout: “Not enough!”

“Do you want Jiang Province specialties?”

Four shouted: “Look at the price!”

Xiong Zunxiang raised his hand frantically, “I want, my hand is raised the highest.”
