"Ouch!" Mia was jolted and almost lost her balance. She was immediately annoyed and turned to glare at Shu Hua with a look full of reproach.

Shu Hua's interest in watching the game had already been greatly diminished by them, and now she was even less willing to tolerate it.

She took off her sunglasses and stared back without flinching: "If your eyes are bothering you, I suggest you go to the hospital and see an ophthalmologist. What are you staring at here for? To make your eyes look bigger?"

Xiaomi was taken aback when Shu Hua, who seemed so gentle, suddenly snapped back. She paused for a moment, then snapped back, "Who are you talking to? That's such a spacious spot, you think you can take it all by yourself? We're almost all squeezed out! Your manners are truly appalling!"

"Ha," Shu Hua laughed, crossing her arms and looking at her, "Big sister, are you kidding me? Who was it that kept pushing and shoving at me first? Anyone can turn the tables on you!"

"Who are you calling 'big sister'?!" Xiao Mi was extremely sensitive about people mentioning her age, and she instantly bristled, her voice shrill. "Who's trying to shift the blame? You were the one who pushed me first!"

"I called you, is there anyone else here who's taking this personally?" Shu Hua sneered. "Attacked? I was acting in self-defense. What, are you allowed to set fires, but ordinary people aren't allowed to light lamps?"

"You!" Mia was so choked up that her face turned red. She pointed at Shu Hua and couldn't find the words to refute her.

The other internet celebrities and assistants around her wanted to speak up, but seeing Shu Hua's imposing manner and cold gaze, they hesitated.

Several online influencers around her quickly pulled her aside: "Sister Xiaomi, it's alright... everyone's watching..."

Indeed, the commotion had attracted the attention of those around. Many people were looking in their direction.

Shu Hua was too lazy to argue with her. Her good mood had been ruined, and she had no interest in continuing to watch the game.

"Okay, you like watching, right?" Shu Hua put her sunglasses back on. "Then I'll be kind and give you my seat so you can watch properly."

She turned and left, leaving behind a sentence that drifted in the wind: "After all, someone as naive as you should take a second look."

"You—!" Xiaomi stomped her feet angrily from behind.

Ke Shuhua has already gone far away.

She walked back the way she came, a surge of anger rising within her. She had come all happy to watch Pei Yanzhou play polo, but instead, she encountered this wretched fellow.

Walking to the rest area, she found a quiet corner to sit down and took out her phone to browse.

Before long, a cheer was heard – the match was over.

She wasn't interested in knowing who won.

She didn't notice that on the field, Pei Yanzhou, who had just won the last point, instinctively glanced at that familiar spot in the spectator area the moment he took off his helmet.

There, only a few strange women dressed in eye-catching attire remained.

The spot for his pet rabbit is empty.

About ten minutes later, Pei Yanzhou came over. He had just finished playing ball, and there were still fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

"What are you doing here?" He sat down next to her, taking the towel his assistant handed him to wipe his sweat. "Weren't you watching the game?"

"I don't want to watch anymore," Shu Hua said sullenly.

Pei Yanzhou noticed her unusual mood and lifted her face, asking, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Looking at his concerned eyes, Shu Hua felt a surge of grievance.

She pursed her lips and recounted what had just happened.

"...She did it on purpose," Shu Hua said, getting angrier as she spoke. "She should have just watched the game properly. She kept pushing me, and when I told her off, she glared at me..."

Pei Yanzhou's face darkened after hearing this.

He grasped Shu Hua's hand: "Why didn't you call me?"

"Why did I call you?" Shu Hua snorted. "I'm not a child, why would I complain about something so trivial?"

"You are my wife," Pei Yanzhou said earnestly, "If you've been wronged, of course you should tell me."

Looking into his eyes, Shu Hua's slight unease vanished. She blinked and deliberately asked, "If I told you... would you help me get revenge?"

"Yes," Pei Yanzhou answered without hesitation.

Looking at his serious expression, Shu Hua couldn't help but smile. Actually, after saying it out loud, most of her anger had subsided; she wasn't the type to stay angry for long over irrelevant people.

She just wanted to be affectionate with him and hear him coax her.

Now that she had achieved her goal, she didn't want to continue the conversation.

"Okay, okay," she changed the subject, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him, "So, did you win just now?"

"Yeah. We won by two points."

"Wow!" Shu Hua praised him enthusiastically, looking up at him with a proud expression. "Pei Yanzhou, I've discovered you're really amazing! How can you do everything?"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and gently wiped the thin layer of sweat from his forehead. The gesture was natural and intimate.

Pei Yanzhou looked at her smiling face, his own eyes crinkling with laughter. He took her hand and gently kissed the back of it: "Have you ever ridden a horse?"

Shu Hua shook her head: "No."

She had actually considered learning to ride a horse, always thinking that girls looked especially cool riding horses. But when Chi Yu first learned to ride, she fell off the horse and lay in bed for more than half a month. When Shu Hua visited her and saw her wincing in pain, that thought was completely extinguished.

She was already a bit afraid of these "extreme sports" and didn't usually like exercising. Her athletic ability was just average; she could manage things like yoga and Pilates, but horseback riding, which required explosive power and coordination, was something she always avoided.

Pei Yanzhou noticed the hesitation and a hint of fear in her eyes and asked, "Are you scared?"

"A little..." Shu Hua nodded honestly, looked at him, and asked softly, "Will you protect me?"

"Yes," Pei Yanzhou answered readily, taking her hand to stand up. "I'll take you to try it; it's very safe."

The stables were at the other end of the manor. When the two walked over, Pei Yanzhou's black Akhal-Teke horse had just finished exercising and was being carefully tended to by a professional groom, resting to the side.

Shu Hua's gaze was drawn to a brown horse beside her.

The horse was slightly smaller than Pei Yanzhou's black horse, with a glossy coat, large and bright eyes, long eyelashes, and a delicately braided tail, making it look particularly gentle and beautiful.

"It's so beautiful." Shu Hua couldn't help but take two steps closer.

Seeing this, the groom smiled and introduced, "Young Madam has good taste. This horse is named Bain. It has a very gentle temperament and is perfect for beginners."

The horse was led to an open space. Shu Hua looked up—it was so high, she had to crane her neck to see its back.

"How...how do I get up there?" She was a little scared.

Pei Yanzhou walked to her side, put one hand on her waist, and pointed to the stirrup with the other: "Put your left foot here, grab the saddle, and push off hard. I'll support you."
