The Little Brat’s Sweet And Sassy

The next morning, Shen Li accompanied Old Madam Gu to Dutian Villa.

This was where Gu Tingyin's horse was being raised.

Old Madam Gu held Shen Li's hand as she walked slowly.

The morning air was still filled with the smell of grass.

What do you think of this place, Ah Li? " Old Madam Gu asked with a smile.

"It's very good," Shen Li nodded.

It was quiet in the midst of chaos, with an excellent environment.

As far as the eye could see, the grass was green, and there were several sprinklers watering the lawn. The clear water splashed in all directions, and a few small rainbows could be seen scattered beneath the sun.

Only the Gu family could afford to set aside a mountain in a place like Hong Kong City where every inch of land was worth an inch of gold, just to raise a horse.

Old Madam Gu patted her hand and said, "In fact, Bright Moon was also raised at Dutian Racecourse in the past, but it had quite a stubborn temper and it didn't like the horse racing field there. It felt restricted and refused to move. Later, when Yin Yin brought it here once, it was so happy and very happily ran around. Yin Yin loved it so much and when she saw that it liked this place so much, she asked your grandfather to reserve this place for it. "

Shen Li's lips curved up unconsciously.

The Gu family had a common trait... protecting their own.

Even if it was a horse, it was still worthy of being doted on.

Of course, the main reason for that was because it was Gu Tingyin's horse.

"Ah Li, if you think this place is good, you can bring Qingfeng here more often," said Old Madam Gu as she laughed.

Just then, a horse trainer walked over while leading a white horse.

A horse's normal life span was 30 to 35 years, and Bright Moon was already in its twilight years.

It was walking very slowly.

Shen Li hesitated and asked, "Then, will... Bright Moon be unhappy?"

After all, it had always had this place to itself.

"How can that be?" Old Madam Gu smiled gently and said softly, "If someone else came, it would definitely not be happy. But you are different."

Shen Li's heart stirred. She suddenly remembered the receipt in Shen Zhijin's email.

The drawing of a little boy and a little girl riding a white horse together under the starry night was still so vivid in her mind.

Over it seemed to have been a drawing of a bright moon.

She walked forward.

"Old Madam Gu, Miss Shen Li," the horse trainer bowed slightly.

Bright Moon raised its head and looked at her.

Due to its age, its eyes were a little cloudy, but it still had a trace of stubbornness.

Shen Li raised her hand.

The horse trainer quickly advised, "Miss Shen Li, Bright Moon is quite proud and arrogant."

Before he could finish, his voice stopped abruptly.

Bright Moon had taken a step forward and lowered its head to nuzzle against the palm of her hand.

Shen Li hugged its neck and stroked its hair.

Bright Moon's head tilted to the side, and it quietly leaned against her shoulder.

Old Madam Gu's eyes reddened and she turned her head away in a hurry.

Shen Li hugged it for a while before she turned to the horse trainer.

"How is Bright Moon's health?"

The horse trainer came back to his senses.

"It's pretty good. It's getting old, so its bodily functions have deteriorated a little. But its overall condition is still pretty good."

After all, it was old.

Shen Li nodded and touched Bright Moon's head. She smiled and said, "Bright Moon is really beautiful. It's no wonder that my mother liked it so much."

Old Madam Gu wiped the corners of her eyes and laughed when she heard this.

"Isn't that so? At that time, many horses came to the horse track, but Yin Yin just had to pick Bright Moon."

In terms of bloodline, physique, and overall quality, Bright Moon was not the best.

However, it was really beautiful, especially its soft and shiny white fur, which was clean and luxurious.

Old Madam Gu sighed.

"She had a special liking for white horses, and that's how it got its name Bright Moon."

Shen Li suddenly paused.

White horse...

A white horse?

The horse that Shi Yang had bought from the racecourse was also a white horse.

The horse trainer had said that he had recommended other better horses to him, but he had declined all of them. He had still insisted on taking the white horse.

It was said that they were fated.

Shen Li moved back a little, but Bright Moon seemed to be reluctant to let her go, so she leaned over again.

Shen Li frowned.

"Is Bright Moon a thoroughbred?"

The horse trainer did not know why she had suddenly asked this, but he still nodded. "Yes, it is."

Shen Li's brows furrowed even more, and she rubbed Bright Moon's ears to comfort her, deep in thought.

The horse that Shi Yang had bought was also a white thoroughbred.

This was too much of a coincidence.

Of course, buying a horse was based on personal preference. White horses were good-looking and rare, and thoroughbred white horses were even more precious. Just standing there was enough to attract people's attention.

Shi Yang was definitely not the only one who had his eyes on that horse.

After all, even the staff at the stable yesterday had said that the horse was very beautiful.

There did not seem to be anything wrong. At most, it seemed to be just a coincidence.

But...

She remembered Yu Pingchuan mentioning that Shi Yang had never been interested in horses before.

Moreover, Shi Yang had told Gu Tingyin...

"Ah Li? Ah Li?"

Seeing that Shen Li had not spoken in a long time, Old Madam Gu called out to her.

"Grandma?" Shen Li pulled back her thoughts and looked up.

Old Madam Gu looked concerned.

"What were you thinking about just now? You looked so lost in thought."

"It's nothing," Shen Li shook her head.

She touched Bright Moon and said, "I'll come back to see you again after a while, alright?"

Bright Moon nuzzled against her shoulder.

"Bright Moon can't bear to part with you," Old Madam Gu said jokingly. "It looks like if you bring Qingfeng over next time, it might really get jealous.

Shen Li's eyes curved as she smiled.

"How could that be? Bright Moon is very sensible, isn't it?"

Bright Moon stretched its neck and took a step back. However, after a while, it still came over.

Shen Li could not help but laugh.

"I told you, Bright Moon is very sensible."

…

After staying at Dutian Villa the whole morning, Shen Li accompanied Old Madam Gu back to the Gu family's old residence in the afternoon, in consideration of her health.

She flew back to the Capital that afternoon.

It was already evening when she reached home.

Shen Zhijin had also been on a business trip for the past two days and was not at home.

Shen Li decided to cook a simple bowl of noodles.

As the water in the pot was boiling, Shen Li stood in front of the kitchen counter, feeling a little distracted.

For some reason, she kept thinking of Bright Moon and the white horse that had just been sent back to the Capital.

She vaguely felt that something was wrong, and her heart felt as if it had been left hanging.

However, she could not accurately capture the details.

From the first time she had seen Shi Yang, she had not liked him.

However, Shi Yang's attitude toward her was the exact opposite.

If it was truly because he liked her paintings, his attitude seemed a little too "friendly".

She did not believe that Shi Yang could not sense her coldness towards him.

For someone of his status, there was no need for him to treat a junior who had no good feelings for him in such a way.

Of course, it could also be that he was magnanimous and unbothered about such things.

However...

Shen Li lowered her eyes and pursed her lips.

In actual fact, she did not feel any genuine feelings of "affection" from Shi Yang.

When Mei Yanqing had first approached her and asked if she was willing to learn painting from him, she had been able to feel his admiration.

When she had first met the Gu family, she had also been able to feel that they truly liked her.

Only with Shi Yang...

She turned off the stove and brought the noodles to the dining table. After thinking for a moment, she made a phone call.
