Chapter 138: Running Away as if Scared
Xia Yinian knew that if she said she couldn’t ride a horse, many people probably wouldn’t believe her.But... she looked at Gu Lingqian, pursing her lips: "I really can’t."
...So, not long after, there was a new scene on the horse grounds.
On the back of Young Master Ling’s horse, there sat a little girl, tucked in Gu Lingqian’s arms, excitedly tugging on the reins.
It seemed that the girl really couldn’t ride; if it wasn’t for Gu Lingqian supporting her around the waist, who knows how many times she might have rolled off the horse’s back.
"Old Master, looking at it this way, the relationship between Mr. Ling and Miss Niannian really seems good."
The housekeeper, Gu Feng, standing next to Old Master, said with a smiling face.
Old Master’s gaze also fell upon those two figures and he did not say anything.
Actually, Gu Feng knew that the Old Master didn’t really like them being together.
For Old Master, a grandson as outstanding as Mr. Ling deserved a high-status lady from a wealthy family.
And Xia Yinian, with her humble origins and the Xia Family not being a powerful household, not to mention her lack of favoritism in the Xia Family.
But, whether he liked it or not, as long as Old Madam was happy, he would accept it.
However, why did the chilly aura of Seventh Young Master sitting next to Old Master suddenly intensify so much?
"Seventh Young Master, are you feeling unwell?" Gu Feng couldn’t help but show his concern.
The news that Seventh Young Master was bitten by a snake could be hidden from others, but how could it be hidden from Old Master?
Thus, Gu Feng also knew about it, although not knowing why he was bitten, at least he knew of his injury.
Just not sure why he still chose to come out today.
Knowing that with Seventh Young Master here watching over, Old Master would not have needed to come personally.
"Beicheng, are you still feeling unwell?" seated next to Gu Beicheng, Yu Wanqing gestured.
The maid, Shelan, immediately brought the hot water bottle.
Yu Wanqing personally poured a cup of warm water and handed it with both hands to Gu Beicheng.
"This is the goji berry tea I personally brewed early this morning, it’s cooling and detoxifies, Beicheng, give it a try."
Gu Beicheng casually accepted it and drank in one gulp.
There was a smile in Yu Wanqing’s eyes, but looking over to where his gaze was directed, her mood inexplicably sank.
Again, it was that girl, the girl named Xia Yinian.
Last night, Shelan had already inquired clearly about Xia Yinian’s situation and also saw how Xia Yinian ran out of the courtyard.
It was said that when the girl left, it was as if she was fleeing, all flustered.
Yu Wanqing didn’t want to suspect that this little girl ran away because she was afraid of Seventh Young Master.
Although it looked exactly like that.
But as for a person like Seventh Young Master, women would only try their best to get close to him, why would they run away due to fear?
But Shelan, never dared to lie in front of her.
In sight, Gu Lingqian descended from the horseback, Xia Yinian still sitting on the horse.
One walking, one riding, the horse gradually sped up.
Who knows if this could be considered bliss turning into sorrow; after Xia Yinian grew bolder, she immediately wanted the horse to run faster.
But as the horse sped up, she did not grip the reins tightly.
With a shriek, she rolled off the horseback and fell into Gu Lingqian’s arms, instinctively reaching out to hug his neck!
With a snap, it sounded like the crushing of a cup.
"I’m going to check on the kids." Gu Beicheng stood up and turned to leave.
On the ground beneath the seat, the shattered pieces of the cup lay scattered.
