Super Zoo-Chapter 348 - 344 My Princess
Although it was already night, the number of tourists outside the airport was still considerable, and many airport employees gathered around to watch the scene unfold.
Lionburg Dragon approached Nangong with elegant horse steps from amidst the crowd; Suming, mounted on the horse’s back, leaned forward slightly and reached out his hand to Nangong with a smile, "Get on the horse, my princess."
Nangong’s heart was about to melt, covering her mouth and so excited that she couldn’t utter a single word.
"Wow, a black horse prince!"
"Quick, get on the horse, get on the horse!"
"That’s so romantic!"
The excited crowd was about to explode, with many people lifting their phones high above their heads and snapping photos on tiptoes.
Lionburg Dragon thrived on the attention of the people, and feeling so many eyes on it, the horse was as pleased as could be, throwing its head in a showy manner and letting its black and lustrous mane flutter in the wind. It snorted loudly, spraying the closest individual in the face.
No one took note of the unlucky person because the shrieks had already begun; nearly every young girl present had stars in her eyes as they all covered their mouths and screamed... It was a mystery how they could still emit such shrill sounds while covering their mouths.
However, their boyfriends’ faces turned sour as they muttered jealously, "Show-off! So what if you have a horse, are you that special? With you doing this, how are others supposed to live? You’re so capable, why don’t you just fly to the sky?!"
"You... How did you bring them out here..." Nangong’s voice broke in her astonishment, both crying and laughing.
"I told the shipping company they didn’t need to deliver; I would pick it up directly, and pay them as usual."
Suming dismounted swiftly, skilfully tying several large trunks with rope and securing them to the back of the cheerful Big Quickstep. In the revolution, everything was equal, it wouldn’t matter which horse carried the luggage, but Lionburg Dragon was sensitive and Big Quickstep was a compliant and sunny good comrade. Carrying luggage was obviously not as prestigious as carrying the male lead, and if Lionburg Dragon were to carry the luggage, it would likely throw a tantrum.
After Suming had secured the luggage without a word, he suddenly swept Nangong into his arms and placed her on Lionburg Dragon’s extended saddle, then he mounted as well, sitting behind Nangong, wrapping his arms around her waist and grabbing the reins.
With a slight flick of the wrist, Lionburg Dragon began to strut forward, head held high with pride.
Nangong felt her entire being melt away, leaning into Suming’s embrace, blissfully happy.
"Excuse me, could you please make way..."
Once the crowd had cleared a path, it was then they noticed a brand new BMW X5 standing forlornly in front, with a man seated in the driver’s seat staring open-mouthed in their direction.
"Why is this guy here?" Suming had a good memory and recognized Huang Fei from atop the horse.
Nangong couldn’t be bothered to glance in that direction, her long hair covering half her face as it lay against Suming’s chest. She softly nestled against him and said in a coquettish voice, "Oh, just ignore him, let him drop dead, just hold me tight."
"The comrade driving the BMW, please make way and do not obstruct the path. Everyone, please disperse." Among them, a staff member from the airport came out to direct traffic.
Huang Fei hadn’t come back to his senses when someone from the crowd, eager for gossip, shouted, "Hey, make way!"
"So annoying, ruining such a romantic atmosphere!"
The frustrated boyfriends finally found a target for their ridicule, mocking Huang Fei inside the vehicle, "A fake BMW meets a real ’baoma’ (treasure horse), now you’ve become a d//mbass!"
It was then that Huang Fei snapped out of his daze and engaged the drive gear with a belly full of irritation.
He felt as though he might explode; what kind of world was this, where racing horses would pop out of nowhere? What about the promised Wrangler? Could it be that those who drove Wranglers really owned horses? And those flying planes, were they all terrorists?
"Damn it, so capable, why don’t you just fly to the sky..." Huang Fei grumbled the same sentiment echoed by all the men, pressing on the accelerator in frustration.
The BMW X5 roared off from the airport as if fleeing, soon disappearing into the night.
He was unaware that Suming had already decided to buy a helicopter; perhaps in some time, he might really take to the skies.
...
Under the dim streetlights, on the marathon rubber track leading towards the city, two horses walked one after the other towards the urban area at a leisurely pace. The shadows of the two figures atop the horses stretched out long and swaying on the road.
Every now and then, cars passed by, all of them slowing down to roll down their windows and cast astonished glances from afar.
"Hey, are we okay doing this, affecting traffic and all..." Nangong bit her lip and said.
"What’s not to like, you’re enjoying it inside," Suming flicked Nangong’s cheek with his finger.
"...Annoying..." Nangong moaned shyly.
But their playfulness had consequences. They were barely dressed and pressed tightly against each other, and her demure shyness immediately caused a prehistoric beast to awaken at her back, pressing fiercely against the two peach-shaped curves in front of it.
"Hey hey, are you trying to kill me, right in the middle of the road..." Nangong turned to pinch Suming’s thigh, her face flushing red.
"Hehe, we’ve got coats on, how about we shake things up a bit?" Suming cheekily suggested.
The earthquake didn’t happen, but when they were almost into the city, they got stopped by traffic police.
A young traffic officer with several people stood by the roadside, spotting someone riding a horse towards them from far away, immediately raised a hand to signal them to approach and dismount for an inspection.
Normally, the traffic police would have been off duty at that time, but upon approaching, it turned out there had been a traffic accident on the road with traffic police rushing to the scene.
"Eh, that car looks very familiar, and so does that person..."
A cement pole on the side of the road had been snapped in half by a collision, half of it pressing down on the roof of a BMW X5, which looked like it had nearly been totaled, with a collapsed hood and forlornly emitting smoke. Not far away, an ambulance flashed its lights.
Huang Fei had his head wrapped in a bandage, blowing into a breathalyzer with a gloomy face.
"It’s you!"
"It’s you!"
Both parties were stunned.
"Do you know each other?" the traffic police asked, looking at Suming and pointing to Huang Fei.
"We don’t know each other!" Suming quickly shook his head.
"He’s a colleague, but we’re not close," Nangong explained, holding back laughter.
The traffic officer looked skeptically at the two horses and said sternly, "Alright then, tell me what’s your story, riding horses in the dead of night. What’s all this about?"
"Here’s the thing..."
After listening, the traffic officer thought for a long time and couldn’t find any traffic violations on Suming’s part. He wasn’t drunk driving, speeding, or changing lanes improperly...
The fake BMW goes to the traffic police officer; as for the real horses, the traffic police truly had no recourse. Suming pulled out the zoo’s documents explaining the horses were to be delivered to the zoo, and the traffic officer even took the responsibility to call a patrol car to escort Suming on his way.

"Oh, you’re Mr. Su, the deputy head of the zoo, aren’t you? We’ve all heard about how you made Yangchuan City proud in Xiangjiang!" said the responsible traffic officer, praising Suming before adding, "However, riding horses on the road is ultimately unsafe, don’t you agree? Follow the police car and get back to the zoo as quickly as possible, to avoid causing disturbance and to be responsible for your own safety. Does that work for you?"
"Yes, yes, the comrade police officer is right," Suming nodded and then, pulling the officer aside, gestured towards Huang Fei, who had already been taken to the police car, and whispered, "What’s his deal?"
"His problem is serious! Drunk driving, excessive speeding, destruction of public property. According to the regulations, he should be detained for fifteen days and have his license revoked. Fortunately, he didn’t hit anyone. You’re not planning to plead for him, are you?"
"How could I! I am a person with party spirit!"
After entering the city and attracting a few more glances from people who were up late not sleeping and strolling on the streets, the journey was quiet. The police car, flashing its lights, arrived at the entrance of the zoo, startling the two security guards on duty who thought a fugitive had entered. Seeing Suming leisurely following on horseback, they breathed a sigh of relief.
It was already past midnight; the two horses temporarily shared a space with the alpacas, where there was plenty of room. They were distant relatives after all, so there was no fear of estrangement. The only precaution was to warn Lion Castle Dragon not to bully the alpacas, or it would get a nasty spray.
Driving the Wrangler, he brought Nangong and a pile of luggage to her house.
Downstairs, holding a big suitcase, Nangong winked at Suming, "Aren’t you going to meet my dad?"
Her father, a leader in the criminal police force, knew she was coming home tonight and was probably waiting, the lights in the room still on.
"Kings don’t meet kings," Suming replied haughtily.
"Tch, I’m going up then, kiss me!"
...
Suming arrived back at Whisperwind Pavilion past three in the morning. He had just unlocked the main gate of the Pavilion when a menagerie of beasts all made their appearance.
A huge, somewhat frightening shadow manifested in the water with a splash; the commanding python in the corner of the deck slowly raised its neck. A dozen cats of various sizes in the room, waking up at the sound, began to meow and pounced on him like little cannonballs.
The familiar buzzing overhead, Er Gouzi, his personal bodyguard, was taking a break since Nangong wasn’t in Yangchuan City, resting at the Pavilion.
Holding the cats big and small and chatting with the animals at Whisperwind Pavilion for a while, Suming couldn’t hold out from weariness any longer. He climbed upstairs to the bedroom and immediately fell asleep, not even bothering to wipe off the kiss mark on his face.
...
...
In the Yangchuan City Deputy Mayor’s office, the newly appointed Deputy Mayor Wang Jian She was holding a meeting with leaders responsible for economic work from bureaus such as the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Development and Reform Commission. Wang Jian She took over Mr. Sun’s position, and his main job was the same: focusing on the economy.
Among those present was an old friend of Suming, Mr. He, the former backer of Zhou Jin. Thanks to some behind-the-scenes manipulation by Suming, Mr. He had become one of Suming’s staunch allies, giving the zoo full support in his work. After Wang Jian She’s promotion, Mr. He’s career flourished, and he moved into Wang Jian She’s former post.
"I’ve called everyone here to discuss our next steps in economic development work. Since we’re all veterans and colleagues here, I won’t hold any official meetings; let’s just chat in the office."

Putting down his teacup, Wang Jian She’s face still wore a smile, but then his tone shifted sharply, "Although the atmosphere is relaxed, our task is daunting. Last week, the central government issued another document, stressing once again the need to transform our growth model and follow a path of scientific development. At the provincial meeting I attended, provincial leaders also demanded that each city makes good use of its resources and follows a path of green development. The old model of growth at the expense of the environment, that can absolutely not continue anymore."
