Chapter 169: Horse Racing Invitation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Murong Chuan looked at his Little Sister and then at Huo Yichen, who was clearly hiding something in his smile. He felt that the two of them did not look unfamiliar with each other.

When he heard his Little Sister address him as Cla.s.smate Huo, Murong Chuan was even more certain of his thoughts.

“Cla.s.smate Murong, you know how to ride a horse too?” Huo Yichen approached her to talk to her.

“I’m just interested,” Murong Qiao replied with pursed lips. She didn’t expect Huo Yichen to really chat with her like this.

Third Brother was standing beside her. For some reason, the scene in front of her made Murong Qiao feel indescribably embarra.s.sed and shy.

However, Huo Yichen seemed to have seen through Murong Qiao’s thoughts.

Seeing that she had pretended not to know him well just now, he had the intention to deliberately tease her.

“That’s right. I saw that Young Miss Murong was very interested in riding a horse just now, so 1 pulled her along to teach her.” Since the topic had changed to horse riding, Feng Xinyao took the opportunity to interrupt.

She quickly composed herself and walked over with a likable smile.

Although Feng Xinyao said friendly words, in her heart, she cursed Murong Qiao and felt that she was even more of an eyesore now. She didn’t expect even Huo Yichen to know Murong Qiao.

Murong Chuan only had eyes for her, and even Huo Yichen, whom she had just taken a fancy to, ignored her. Feng Xinyao could clearly feel that the way Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao spoke was different. There was a hint of ambiguity between the two of them.

Murong Chuan naturally ignored Feng Xinyao’s words. Huo Yichen was only interested in Murong Qiao, so he didn’t pay attention to what Feng Xinyao said at all.

“Then let’s go ride a horse.” Only Murong Qiao felt relieved when she heard Feng Xinyao’s words.

Beside her, Murong Chuan’s gaze seemed to be penetrating as he glanced back and forth between her and Huo Yichen, making Murong Qiao feel that staying here was not a good thing.

Hearing Murong Qiao say that they were going to ride a horse, Feng Xinyao’s eyes lit up.

Riding was her domain.

Her gaze landed on Murong Qiao’s clean outfit and she immediately had an idea.

“It so happens that there’s a horse racing event today. Why don’t Young Miss Murong try it too? Everyone is very friendly to beginners, so you don’t have to worry about anything happening.” Feng Xinyao changed the topic and changed the topic to the horse race.

As expected, this person was up to no good.

Hearing Feng Xinyao’s invitation, Murong Qiao also developed a plan to deal with her.

“Calling me a beginner is too high of praise. 1 haven’t even learned how to ride a horse, so 1 won’t bother everyone and interrupt your fun.” Murong Qiao rejected politely.

“It’s fine. 1 believe everyone will be very happy to race with you.” Feng Xinyao dispelled Murong Qiao’s worries and pointed at the young masters in the racecourse. “Besides, we usually compete like we’re playing around. Friends.h.i.+p comes first.”

Murong Qiao followed her gaze and saw a few young men standing there, looking over.

Among them was Cheng Jie. He had no choice but to return to the racecourse unwillingly after being blocked by Huo Yichen, but he still didn’t give up on watching Murong Qiao.

Seeing that Feng Xinyao wouldn’t stop until she succeeded, Murong Qiao frowned. She felt that the other party was difficult to deal with.

“Then I’ll have to trouble you.” She could only agree.

Instead of rejecting Feng Xinyao’s fake kindness, it was better to step into her trap and see what she wanted to do.

The few of them went to the stables together and chose the horses.

Soon, Murong Chuan and Huo Yichen, who were standing at the door, saw the two of them come out with an attendant leading a horse behind them.

They were not the only ones. Everyone around them was sizing up the newcomer, Murong Qiao.

She was too far away just now and they didn’t see her clearly. Now, Murong Qiao was dressed in a valiant and beautiful riding outfit. As she walked, her high ponytail swayed in the air, like a hook that plucked at everyone’s heart, making it itch unbearably.

Huo Yichen was also looking at her. His gaze was purely fixed on Murong Qiao’s rare appearance, as if he wanted to engrave her entire body into his mind and never forget it.

“From here, we’ll run three rounds around the racecourse. The first person to return will win.” Feng Xinyao explained the rules.

She sounded a little unhappy. After sensing that everyone was looking at Murong Qiao and not her, this emotion almost broke out of her heart and appeared on the surface.

Fortunately, Feng Xinyao’s emotional management ability has always been very good. In the blink of an eye, she sorted out her thoughts again.

Feng Xinyao’s own horse was at the side. It lowered its head docilely and obediently, accepting its master’s touch.

“1 understand. Let’s begin.” Murong Qiao nodded to show that she understood.

She only wanted to end her interaction with Feng Xinyao as soon as possible. The outcome of the compet.i.tion was not within Murong Qiao’s consideration.

Seeing Murong Qiao being so straightforward, Feng Xinyao’s mood improved a lot. The smile in her eyes deepened as she stood beside her horse and prepared. “Please get ready!” the referee shouted.

Feng Xinyao naturally didn’t arrange this race for Murong Qiao to be in the limelight, so she’d asked someone to tamper with the match just now.

Murong Qiao’s horse was new to the Chen family. At this moment, it had yet to be tamed and was extremely unyielding. Even veterans who often rode horses didn’t dare to ride it, let alone someone like Murong Qiao who had never ridden a horse before.

Feng Xinyao specially asked someone to bring it here to embarra.s.s Murong Qiao in public.

Such a gorgeous and exquisite beauty. If she was thrown off the horse or got injured… Feng Xinyao smiled.

“Begin!” The sound of the start shot and command merged together, like a signal that announced the start of the compet.i.tion.

Feng Xinyao mounted the horse with familiarity. Every move was perfect, making people praise her.

She shouted clearly and flicked the reins in her hand before speeding away. Before anyone could react, they could only see a figure gradually galloping into the distance.

“Young Miss Feng’s horsemans.h.i.+p seems to have improved again! This time, she’s clearly starting faster than before!” A young heir watching at the side couldn’t help but praise.

They all witnessed Feng Xinyao’s equestrian skills, and her graceful figure on the horse was truly remarkable. In an instant, Feng Xinyao could feel numerous eyes on her, filled with admiration and envy.

She couldn’t help but feel smug. As she turned the corner, she looked back at Murong Qiao. She had yet to set off from the starting point.

Let’s see how you can compete with me.

In the blink of an eye, Feng Xinyao had already run a distance, but Murong Qiao was getting on the horse tentatively.

This was the first time she had mounted a horse. Even though she knew what to do, she was still unfamiliar with it since she had never practiced it before.

Moreover, as soon as Murong Qiao approached, she felt that something was wrong.

As she stroked the horse’s body and gracefully mounted it, she keenly sensed the restlessness and wildness of the horse beneath her. Even the horse’s head was shaking, as if trying to break free from the reins in her hands.

What happened?

Murong Chuan and Huo Yichen had been paying attention to Murong Qiao and immediately realized that something was wrong. They immediately saw the dangerous scene of the fierce horse suddenly raising its body.

Before Murong Qiao could react, she was thrown back by the horse and was about to fall to the ground.

“Be careful!” She heard two urgent voices.

In the next second, Murong Qiao was hugged by someone and wrapped in a familiar cold fragrance.

It was Murong Chuan and Huo Yichen’s voices, but Huo Yichen arrived before Murong Chuan.

Murong Qiao’s presence did not delay Huo Yichen from mounting the horse at all. With one hand holding the reins, he leaped into the air, his body agile and graceful like a flying swallow. He didn’t even need the stirrups for leverage, effortlessly straddling the horse’s back.

This set of smooth movements stunned everyone.

Huo Yichen’s arms wrapped around Murong Qiao’s hands and held the reins tightly. He exerted strength to suppress the wildness of the fierce horse, making it run to avoid falling down with the two of them..
