Chapter 465: The Fake Mafia Princess's Rise to Archery Champion (18)

So he was asking about Zhuang Yangqiu...

Tang Yi didn't hold back, chitter-chattering away and thoroughly explaining the situation between Lady Boss and Zhuang Yangqiu.

"That's how it is. Anyway, the current arrangement for this marriage engagement is between me and Brother Zhuang."

Speaking of this baffling marriage, the girl wore a bitter expression and added, "That night, I already said I didn't want it, and Brother Zhuang didn't want it either..."

"Right now, it's just the parents on both sides... who seem quite enthusiastic?"

Tilting her head, Tang Yi hadn't even finished speaking when, the next second, Chi Che suddenly blurted out congratulations from beside her, exclaiming as if he'd had an epiphany, "So you two are actually a match..."

"Congratulations, you two look quite well-suited."

"A match made in heaven, make the most of it."

Tang Yi stood frozen, stunned!

Wait, how did you interpret it that way?

On the other end of the field.

Tang Qing had already released her first arrow!

The first shot on the 50-meter lane was yet another perfect ten!

An utterly heaven-defying talent!

The feeling was incredible—every time she drew the bow, her body instinctively responded with the right angle, height, and strength.

The moment she aimed at the target, she already knew the outcome in her heart!

With this sensation, Tang Qing tried again and, sure enough, another ten!

The longer the range, the more the target shrank proportionally, becoming nearly impossible to see clearly.

Precisely when her eyes couldn't help, this instinctive intuition seemed even more astonishing!

Tang Yi was over the moon on the sidelines—her sister was truly the most amazing in the world!

And this was outdoors.

With factors like sunlight and wind speed interfering, Lady Boss's performance was terrifyingly consistent!

Based on past competitors' records, if Tang Qing could maintain this level of performance come Saturday's competition, the gold medal was absolutely guaranteed!

Easy as pie, 100,000 in the bag.

Her glee grew. Just then, Tang Qing, not far away, stopped shooting.

As Tang Qing's number one admirer, Tang Yi was about to scamper over and bring her sister some water. But after just two steps, she unexpectedly found Zhuang Yangqiu ahead of her...

It was as if he had been prepared all along. The moment Tang Qing stopped, he was already offering her a bottle of mineral water.

"Here you go."

The hand that played the piano reached out—slender and clean. The person she had once adored so deeply now stood right in front of her, staring right at her...

She’d never gotten this kind of treatment before.

Zhuang Yangqiu, known for his aloofness, never wasted emotions on trivial matters beyond practicing the piano. This was a first.

He was trying to be nice to Tang Qing.

Making no move to take the water, Tang Qing instead crossed her arms and asked bluntly, "Shouldn’t you be practicing the piano at this hour? Or did you just ‘happen’ to pass by?"

"Zhuang Yangqiu, real convenient."

Hearing the sarcasm in Tang Qing’s tone, Zhuang Yangqiu didn’t even flinch, replying slowly, "Yeah, real coincidental."

What kind of crap was that?

What did piano and archery have to do with each other?

Not holding back, Tang Qing took a step back and said, "Sorry, I don’t like your water brand."

"Tang Yi!"

"Aren’t you coming over with the water?"

The boss lady’s calling me!

Without hesitation, the little white flower [a term implying innocence/naivety] grabbed two bottles of water and dashed over...

"Sis, coming, coming!"

"I’m here!"

Totally oblivious, even as Tang Yi reached the two of them, she failed to notice the tension between Tang Qing and Zhuang Yangqiu.

Meanwhile, Chi Che, who had been trailing behind, watched the scene unfold, a thoughtful look in his eyes...

That evening, Chi Che suddenly informed Su Nan, "I have something to do on Saturday."

The person happily playing Fight the Landlord was so surprised he forgot to play his hand.

When Su Nan snapped back to reality, he shot up from the couch in a panic!

"Don’t do this!"

"Brother Chi, you can’t bail on me now—you promised me."

Su Nan had lowkey reminded Chi Che multiple times through various channels about their Saturday plans, worried the rich kid might flake.

He never expected that, at the last moment, Chi Che would still try to ditch!

Unwilling to give up, Su Nan darted over to Chi Che, his face full of accusation. "Brother Chi, this is a big deal for me. You can’t leave me hanging."

"Besides me, you don’t know anyone else in all of C City..."

"What could you possibly have going on?"

Chi Che: "Who says I don’t know anyone else?"

"Just open the window and look for yourself."

What’s there to see in the dead of night?

Su Nan had been staying at the foot of the mountain these past few days. He’d only been to this villa of Chi Che's once, on the day he moved in.

"Whoosh—"

He yanked the curtains open!

Su Nan craned his neck, looking out intently, and said, puzzled, "There’s nothing out there."

"You said you met someone new up in the mountains at night—a female ghost?"

"Is she pretty?"

As soon as Su Nan asked, Chi Che’s mind flashed to Tang Qing’s face.

Her eyes that always curved upward, her expression always full of vitality…

That night, sitting behind Tang Qing, his palm against her warmth, her hair strand by strand brushing against his face…

The usually unruly young master, his expression suddenly softened, said meaningfully, "She’s beautiful."

Having known Chi Che for over a decade, this was the first time Su Nan had seen such an expression on his face.

Connecting it to the "female ghost" comment, Su Nan got goosebumps.

His first instinct was to make the sign of the cross.

Su Nan mumbled, "Oh no, oh no, Brother Chi, you're not right."

"You didn’t actually fall for some female ghost from the mountains, did you?"

"It's all my fault. I never should’ve rented you a place up in the mountains…"

What a bunch of nonsense.

Listening to Su Nan’s rambling, Chi Che pointed to the neighboring villa with its lights still on and said, "It’s Tang Qing."

"See—her place."

"Tang Qing?"

"That name…"

He remembered!

Su Nan’s eyes widened completely.

"You two are neighbors?"

"No way? Really, neighbors?"

This time, Chi Che didn't even need to respond. Su Nan was glued to the window again, trying hard to see if he could see the pretty girl from that night.

The world really is too small.

He’d just randomly picked a place to live, and it turned out to be right next door to that pretty girl?

It took him a moment, but Su Nan finally realized that what Chi Che meant by "having something to do" was most likely related to Tang Qing.

Sure enough, the next second.

The Chi eldest young master spoke up: "Her competition is on Saturday. I'm going to watch."

Look at this!

Talk about a fickle man!

He’s only known Tang Qing for a little over a week, and now he’s planning to blow off his own brother!

"So, can you tell me now... what exactly is it that you insisted I must accompany you for on Saturday?"

Being all secretive, Su Nan only mentioned having something to do. Even now, he hasn’t made clear what the Saturday plans are...

Chi Che hit the nail on the head.

Su Nan, who had been making a scene moments before, instantly fell silent.

Chi Che spoke again, "What is it exactly? You want me to go but keep it from me?"

"Did you gamble again?"
