Chapter 842: Why Don’t We Bet Big?
Diya stared fixedly at Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan, her amber eyes filled with a determined cold light.
Bet?!
Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng looked at each other thoughtfully.
Even if they didn’t hear the content, they weren’t very interested in the conditions that Diya had proposed.
This young lady was arrogant by nature, and it wasn’t rare for her to break her promise with a small temper. So what was the use of winning the bet?
“Why should we bet with you? Why should we trust your bet?”
Jiang Xuecheng’s expression was indifferent. His deep phoenix-like eyes swept across Diya. There was not a hint of emotion on his face.
Upon hearing Jiang Xuecheng’s cold voice, Diya’s pretty face instantly sank,
Without thinking, she grabbed Fiennes’ hand and used her brother’s credit as a guarantee.
“My brother is here today. I’ll let him be the supervisor. Of course, if Your Highness doesn’t believe me, you can use recording and signing to witness what happens today. I promise, if you win this bet, I won’t break the agreement!”
She was actually going to sign the recording?
Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng looked at each other again.
It seemed that Diya was serious?
If they had such a guarantee, if Diya broke the contract in the future, it would not be pleasant to hear.
Jiang Xuecheng’s phoenix-like eyes were deep, and his pair of pitch-black eyes were particularly intimidating.
“Then tell me what you want to bet on first.”
The suggestion that Diya had just put forward made Jiang Xuecheng quite moved.
If they really won, with evidence in hand, if Diya broke her promise and came to pester the two of them in the future, he would be able to use his power in a justified manner!
When Diya heard that Jiang Xuecheng had relented, she could not help but feel a little smug. She raised her chin high, and her expression was filled with pride.
“I want to bet riding skills with Su Wan! If…”
Before Diya could finish her words, she heard a cold male voice interrupt her in an instant.
“Ridiculous! You clearly heard Su Wan say that she had never ridden a horse before. You want to compete riding skills with her? It would be unfair to win!”
Diya’s expression changed, and the smile on her face froze at the corner of her lips.
So this was how this man thought of her?
Sensing the icy gaze of Jiang Xuecheng on her body, Diya could not help but feel a little wronged.
Although she had always been unruly, it was not to the point where she wanted to take advantage of a newbie.
Diya anxiously looked at Jiang Xuecheng and shook her head very seriously.
“Your Highness, you are thinking too lowly of me. I know that Su Wan is a newbie, but I am not a veteran. I have only practiced horse riding for a week. Similarly, I will give Su Wan a week’s time.”
When Jiang Xuecheng heard Diya’s explanation, he frowned slightly.
Fiennes knew that he definitely did not trust his sister, so he spoke up for Diya.
“Your Highness, Diya has indeed only come to the Equestrian Club for a week, and they were all non-professional training.”
Thinking of Fiennes and Diya slowly riding their horses, the expression of Jiang Xuecheng eased up a little. Looking at Diya’s previous appearance, it was true that she was not familiar with riding horses.
But even so, Jiang Xuecheng still tilted his head and asked the staff beside him one more question.
“Is it true?”
Jiang Xuecheng’s question was so random that the staff could not help but be stunned for a moment. It took two or three seconds before he realized that the emperor was asking about the authenticity of the content of Diya and Fiennes.
The staff nodded at Jiang Xuecheng.
“Emperor, Miss Diya has indeed only learned horsemanship from us for a week. However, Miss Diya is naturally intelligent and quickly learned it. Not everyone can learn as quickly as Miss Diya…”
The staff glanced at Su Wan and the rest of his meaning was self-evident.
When Diya heard the staff’s words, she could not help but feel a little angry. Why did he have to expose her talent in horsemanship!
She was willing to give Su Wan a week to learn horsemanship. It was a fair competition!
If Su Wan’s talent was not good enough, then she could not be blamed!
Jiang Xuecheng nodded to the staff and roughly understood the staff’s advice.
“Wan Wan, with your current physique, it’s not suitable for you to learn how to ride a horse. Let’s go.”
As Jiang Xuecheng spoke, he wanted to pull Su Wan back.
Su Wan did not intend to put on a brave front. When she heard that it was better not to ride a horse, she did not have much interest in it. She had never been good at sports since she was young, and she had never come into contact with horse riding.
After being infected with the CHK Virus No.3, her body had deteriorated. If she rode halfway and did not have the strength to even restrain the reins, she was afraid that something bad would happen!
…
Diya was almost suffocated by the attitude of Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan!
It turned out that the emperor was still a coward!
Su Wan had not learned yet, and the outcome was not decided yet. He actually stopped gambling!
However, Diya did not dare to scold Jiang Xuecheng, so she could only make an example of Su Wan.
“Su Wan, don’t you feel ashamed to run away at the last minute?!”
Su Wan did not feel ashamed at all. She turned around and looked at Diya, who was not far away, with an indifferent expression.
“We also said that we would listen to the contents of your bet before we decide. We do not agree to it. How can it be considered running away from the battle?”
What a sharp tongue!
Diya was so angry that she stomped her feet angrily. She wished that she could stare a hole in Su Wan’s body!
“I’ll give you a week’s time, but you don’t dare to bet with me! If you win, I’ll really not bother about your marriage with His Highness anymore! I’ll let you have a lap. Do you dare?!”
The more Diya spoke, the more agitated she became. She even used the excuse of giving Su Wan a headstart, but unfortunately, it still did not move Su Wan.
Diya wanted to make this bet with Su Wan today because she wanted to get back the face she had lost at the banquet yesterday. In the end, they did not give her the chance at all!
Just as Diya was flustered and exasperated, she could only angrily scold Su Wan for being cowardly.
“Su Wan, you’re a coward! You’ll only cower under the wings of His Highness. You don’t have any courage and responsibility at all!”
When Jiang Xuecheng heard what Diya said, he quickly turned around.
Diya was shocked. She was suppressed by the invisible aura from Jiang Xuecheng and subconsciously kept quiet.
The emperor wanted to scold her for Su Wan?!
However, contrary to Diya’s expectations, Jiang Xuecheng only casually glanced at Fiennes and her with a gentle voice.
“Diya, it’s not impossible to make a bet. However, Su Wan and I will be going to Planet Aquamarine in a week. We won’t have the time to train. Why don’t we bet big?”
Diya was stunned.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xuecheng calmly flicked his sleeves.
“Su Wan has never learned how to ride a horse, while the you have only learned how to ride a horse for a week. Then, it wouldn’t be interesting for the two of you to gamble. Why don’t you let your brother and I join in and bet on which one of us is better at riding!”
Seeing that Jiang Xuecheng mentioned him, Fiennes restrained his expression and listened to Jiang Xuecheng’s words very seriously.
“Of course, we’re not betting on who will reach the finish line first. That would be too boring–”
“We’ll have the rider cover his eyes while Diya and Su Wan stand twenty meters away. Let’s ride over and see who can stop in time and not hurt anyone!”
