I Became The Stepmother of My Ex-husband

Chapter 79: Riding Together

Lin Wei Xi was learning to ride a horse, Gao Ran and Gu Cheng Yao stood not far away watching. It was inappropriate for them to step forward to help, and to have fun by themselves even more so. They had to wait in place and watch Lin Wei Xi being supported by Yan Wang to mount the horse. After slowly walked a distance, she could pick up the horse herself.

Seeing that there was no one around, Gao Ran took the opportunity to whisper to Gu Cheng Yao: "Shizi, my father is impatient and straightforward. If he offended Shizi with improper words today, please don't take it seriously."

Gu Cheng Yao gave a low "um" and said, "It's alright, I talk to father-in-law properly. You go ride a horse."

Gao Ran said 'Oh', she still wanted to say something, but seeing Gu Cheng Yao's calm and cold expression, in the end didn't say anything. She got on the horse under the guidance of the stables' servant, her maids loudly cheering on her from behind. Gao Ran was the Shizi Consort, the stables' people certainly couldn't touch her, but Gao Ran's maid was also the inner house's womenfolk, where they understands this kind of thing, it was impossible to compare with Yan Wang's professionalism. Gao Ran took a lot of effort and wanted to give up several times before sitting on the horse.

However, after this experience, Gao Ran showed little interest in riding, not to mention she didn't have the mood of riding a horse slowly like Lin Wei Xi. She couldn't help but look up, sitting on the horse she had a wider sight. Gao Ran saw that Lin Wei Xi held the reins by herself, riding the horse to slowly walk, the groom was trotting behind, and Gu Hui Yan was always following her by the side.

Gao Ran let the servant to pull the horse a few steps. She was really uninterested in this kind of smelly and unattractive sport. She just walked two steps then let the maid half supported half carried her to dismount.

On the other side, Lin Wei Xi held the reins and slowly urge the horse to move forward. This feeling was very novel, and it gave Lin Wei Xi an unprecedented sense of accomplishment. This sense of accomplishment was far more enjoyable than writing a good calligraphy or make a fine embroidery. Lin Wei Xi rarely done such intense exercise. In fact, not only Lin Wei Xi, for the womenfolk walking two steps in the courtyard was all the amount of activity in a day.

A thin layer of sweat came out on Lin Wei Xi's back. After exercising, her cheeks were rosy, her eyes were bright, and she looked very energetic. Lin Wei Xi even controlled the horse to trot two steps forward. Lin Wei Xi was surprised and subconsciously turned around to share with others. When she turned around, she saw Gu Hui Yan not far away, looking at her with a smile.

When riding a horse, you should not go too close, otherwise it would interfere with both of the horses. In order not to disturb Lin Wei Xi, Gu Hui Yan had been moving around not far away, but always kept the distance in case unexpected accident happened, he could rush over immediately. Lin Wei Xi bumped into Gu Hui Yan's line of sight, and her mind suddenly thought, he had been looking at her like this for a long time?

Lin Wei Xi couldn't tell what kind of feeling in her heart. She turned her head around like she was frightened, her chest throbbing, and there was a sense of uncontrollable confusion in her heart. She became a little distracted, and for a moment didn't pay attention to the strength of her hands. The horse thought it was the master's instruction, and ran forward a few steps quickly.

Lin Wei Xi's center of gravity slammed back and she was startled, couldn't help but scream. Gu Hui Yan quickly caught up from behind and grabbed Lin Wei Xi's rein from the side.

"Don't be afraid, you have to trust your horse, it won't hurt you."

Lin Wei Xi lowered her head and gave an 'um'. Gu Hui Yan turned around to look at her and asked, "What's wrong, you were fine just now. What did you think about?"
