Chapter 320: The Frightened Horse
Regardless of her injured right hand, Gu Zijin so startled that she tried to stop the frightened horse by griping upon the bridle.
However, a flimsy woman like her couldn’t control a mad horse.
The horse dashed mindlessly, which almost threw her away. Qin Muxuan was afraid that she might be trodden on by the horse, so she clenched the reins and lowered her body.
“Muxuan!” Yin Youting was dumbfounded. He immediately jumped on a horse beside him and rode towards her.
It felt like a life time. Qin Muxuan was caught by a pair of strong hands. A man pulled her away from the crazy horse and held her in his arms.
The woman realized she was safe. Her rigid body softened in the man’s arms. Qin Muxuan’s lips shivered. She grasped his waist as if she had held a lifebuoy. Her fingernails sunk into his flesh.
It seemed that Gu Zijin didn’t feel pain. He rubbed her back to comfort her, “Don’t worry, Muxuan. It’s okay. You’re safe now.”
He said in a soft tone, but his eyes were cold. Gu Zijin impassively watched Yin Youting and staff of the horse farm control the frightened horse.
The familiar voice and rhythmed stroke calmed Qin Muxuan down. She looked up at him in surprise and gratitude. The woman didn’t realize that she relied on him. At the end, she snuggled up to Gu Zijin securely.
Gu Zijin’s eyes turned soft.
Shrieking, tourists fled all over the place. Staff were busy controlling horses. The place was chaotic.
Cameramen stopped shooting. Xiao Heng and others rushed over.
Qin Xiaobai trotted over, gasping. He was worried. “Are you all right, Xuanxuan?” Asked him nervously.
Qin Muxuan was pallid in horror. She shook her head, “Yes…”
Before she could finish her words, Gu Zijin scooped her up and jumped down from the horse. The woman was so scared that she subconsciously held tightly his neck.
Her plump boobs pressed against his hard chest, but Gu Zijin helped her stand still impassively.
As he loosened his grip, Qin Muxuan collapsed limply. She had no strength left.
He immediately supported her so that she didn’t fall onto the ground.
“Be careful about your right shoulder.”
Gu Zijin brought her tricks to light before Qin Muxuan could say anything.
Staring at the man who appeared from nowhere, she was finally aware of the pain in her shoulder. The woman could feel cold sweat trickling down her back, which made her T-shirt cling to her skin. She felt terrible, heading towards the green room.
Noticing she was limp, Gu Zijin carried her to the lounge.
The manager of the horse farm rushed over. He broke into a sweat when his eyes met Gu Zijin’s.
The manager dared not to babble. He gesticulated towards a doctor, “Doc, come here to check up on her.”
“Sorry for frightening you. It’s our fault. We will be responsible for your losses.” While speaking, the manager peeped at Gu Zijin uneasily. He was afraid that his boss would sack him out of rage.
Gu Zijin pulled a long face, “What’s wrong with that horse?”
If he didn’t follow Qin Muxuan, she would have been injured worse.
Thinking of that, his face became gloomier.
“We haven’t found out the reason. The vet said it was stimulated by drugs.” The manager wiped away a sweat to keep it away from his eye.
“When does the horse farm become loosely regulated?”
Gu Zijin frowned, which scared the manager to death. He immediately took the blame.
“Sorry, Mr. Gu. It’s my fault. That won’t happen again.”
“Fetch a clean dress for Qin Xuan.” Gu Zijin ordered.
The manager promised and left.
Riding horses was a high-risk activity. Resident doctors of the farm were well-paid elites. One of them fixed Qin Muxuan’s dislocated joints in a second.
As soon as the doctor withdrew his hands, Yin Youting asked concernedly, “Is she okay? Does her wounds rupture?”
“Her bones are fine,” The doctor set his medical box, “but it requires quiet rest time to recuperate. Ms. Qin, you should avoid utilizing your right shoulder, otherwise you will get chronic dislocation.”
After making sure that Qin Muxuan was not injured again, others sent her to the inn.
They inquired after her health, even persuaded her not to continue wedding planning.
She delegated her power to others without hesitation.
The director came to her.
“You should run the inn for 21 days. It’s a high-intensity work. Can you handle it?”
Qin Muxuan could tell he was here to discourage her.
No one wanted a burden. That was human.
She looked down at her right hand which was again bound up just now. “I feel stressful to weather it.”
“Well, a person should finish what he/she starts. Let me finish this episode, okay?” She smiled apologetically, “Sorry for troubling you.”
The man glanced at her regretfully, “May I invite you to be our special guest after you recover?”
He was reluctant to lose audience she had brought. However, the investor instructed him to do so. He couldn’t keep her.
“Of course. Thank you.”

In the farm, Gu Zijin sat on an executive chair with his back to the door. “Have you figured it out?” He put his hands together on the abdomen, staring grimly at a painting of seeds on the wall.
“Yes.” Lee Jing, the special assistant, reported solemnly, “A newly hired keeper is Ms. Yan’s second cousin. He got paid for drugging Ms. Qin’s horse.”
Malice flamed in Gu Zijin’s eyes, but it was out in seconds. He waved at Lee Jing, “Deal with him. Don’t leave any evidence.”
“Got it.”
The door was shut when the assistant left. After a while, Gu Zijin turned around and called Yan Yuxiao.
The caller ID delighted Yan Yuxiao. She dropped the boutique with a broad smile, “Excuse me.”
“You look so happy. It must be your boyfriend.”
Liu Xia intended to tease Yan Yuxiao, but her words fitted in exactly with Yan Yuxiao’s wishes.
“Yeah.” Grinning sheepishly, Yan Yuxiao nodded, “Zijin calls me.”
While speaking, she waved her phone whose screen showed Gu Zijin’s name.
“I always get hurt!” Liu Xia pressed her hands against her chest, acting dramatically, “Jesus, you are so lovey-dovey.”
Qin Muxuan turned off her microphone and hurried out with a smile. She answered the call before he hung up.
“Zijin,” She asked in a sweet voice, “why do you call me now? I’m shooting a show.”
“Yan Yuxiao, I’ve told you to leave Qin Xuan alone.”
The man’s cold voice cut Yan Yuxiao’s heart like a sword.
Her smile froze. Wrath surged in her eyes.
She slipped inside a lumber room to avoid cameras. “What are you talking about, Zijin? I’m busy working. I don’t have time to set her up.” She wore a grim face.
“Stop pretending. You asked someone to drug her horse. This is my last warning. If you kept doing this again, I won’t show any mercy.”
“Besides, you’d better not to mention we got marriage licenses before if you don’t want to see the Yan Group go bankruptcy.”
After he finished his words, Gu Zijin ended the call.
Hearing the beep, Yan Yuxiao clenched her phone viciously. Veins popped out of her temple.
She burst out laughing in a low voice because of wrath.
‘It turns out that Qin Xuan becomes your taboo.’
‘Women from the Qin family are so lucky to be cherished by you.’
Yan Yuxiao suddenly stopped laughing. She called someone impassively.

The wedding dress was shipped by air. However, when the bride tried it on. The dress didn’t fit well.
It was too thin about the waist. The bride couldn’t put it on.
Qin Muxuan asked someone to record the bride’s measurements and headed to SHE with Yu Miaomiao for help.
The owner eyes sparkled when he caught the sight of the wedding dress as if he saw a rarity. He slightly touched its lilied veils, crying out, “It’s George Stroker’s ‘Pearl’!”
He admired George whose Instagram had posted the picture of this wedding dress. The owner had been enjoying its beauty with reverence for years, so he could recognize it immediately.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
After a while, he turned to the two, “Where do you get it, Miaomiao? I almost lose my shit!”
“Jesus, can you act dignified? Your words hurt my ears!” Yu Miaomiao held her head high, “George gave it to Qin Xuan.”
The news that The Hotel was shooting in the town swept the place. The owner had heard about that. Qin Xuan’s name and the cameraman enlightened him. The man came to realize that they were live streaming.
He changed his countenance and cleared his throat. “Ms. Qin, welcome to SHE. What can I do for you?” The owner stretched out his hand like a gentleman.
He looked tall and gorgeous. Therefore, his action made him more dashing.
Qin Muxuan was amused by his distinct behaviors. She shook hands with him, grinning. “I’d like to widen the dress.”
The owner was dumbfounded. Staring at her in disbelief, he asked, “Are you serious?”
“Yes.” Qin Muxuan nodded with a smile, “It’s a wedding dress. It can’t fit the bride well, so I come to you.”
Her words petrified the man.
‘The renowned “Pearl” needs to be modified by me! That means George and I make it together, right?’
He was thrilled after thinking of that. The owner rubbed his hand expectantly. Smile jumped onto his lips. “What’s your requirement? I will do as you wish!” He cried.
“How much…”
“I can do this for free only if you allow me to put photos of the renewed wedding dress in my store.”
Pondering for a while, Qin Muxuan said yes.
There was a little time left before the wedding. The two saved courtesies and came straight to the point. The man started working.
George’s fans went mad when they saw the owner cut the dress through their phones.
“What the fuck! I can’t believe that you really did that! Drop the scissors. I will give you money. Go make another wedding gown!”
“Can someone alter a friend’s masterpiece? I have never seen such a cheeky woman. Aren’t you afraid that George will renounce you after he knows that?”
“Am I the only one who cares about Qin Xuan is not specialized in this? If she ruined the dress… God! I’m dying.”
“This is a hundred percent media hype! She frightened the horse at noon and altered the dress in the afternoon. Did she think it over when she planned to build up a new image? If everyone could be a designer, I would have been famous and rich. I will swallow my keyboard before you if Qin Xuan does a good job!”
