Mr And Mrs Huo

Chapter 50

When they got closer to the riding arena, they met Xie Chang on his way as well. The rest of the men were nowhere to be seen, but Yu Yuan could guess he had been left behind based on his elaborate riding outfit.

"You guys are in your way as well? Let's walk together."

He said this, but Luo Meili ignored him and walked past towards the riding arena.

Xie Chang ignored her as if he was already used to it. Instead, he turned to Yu Yuan. "She didn't give you a hard time, did she?"

Yu Yuan looked at him in slight surprise. How did he know?

Xie Chang saw her expression and nodded knowingly. "Ignore her. She is just jealous of you because of Huo Wei. She has had a crush on him since she was a teenager, but Huo Wei never looked at her. She begged her brother to help her. When he didn't listen, she even pestered her father, but she didn't get what she wanted. It's only normal that she dislikes you."

Yu Yuan nearly rolled her eyes to the heavens. Why did she have to deal with another one of her husband's peach blossoms? Was he the only one capable of having admirers? Why didn't any of her suitors come to annoy him like his suitors did?

When they finally arrived at the riding arena, they first went to the stables to pick a horse. Everyone was waiting there.

Yu Yuan's eyes quickly found her husband. He was the most handsome among them.

His fitted riding trousers emphasized his lithe, athletic frame. He wore a crisp, white shirt that was slightly unbuttoned, offering a glimpse of skin beneath. The riding jacket he wore was narrow at the waist and drew attention to his broad shoulders. He emanated an air of confidence and authority.

She walked towards him, and her hands lightly adjusted his jacket. In a voice only the two of them could hear, she whispered, "You look delicious."

Huo Wei didn't say anything, but his dark eyes warned her not to provoke him. Yu Yuan acted like she didn't notice. At an angle no one could see, her fingers slipped past his jacket and playfully scratched his abs.

There was no obvious reaction from Huo Wei except for the quick twitch in his jaw and the warning in his now ink-like eyes that grew stronger. Her lips drew up in a cunning smile, but she didn't do anything else.

"Everyone is here. Let's go in," Luo Hai invited.

They all entered the stables, where the caretakers were already waiting for them. There were plenty of horses in the stable. The Luo family was very wealthy. Any of the horses here would fetch a very high price outside.

Everyone moved around the stable to make their pick.

Yu Yuan looked around, but nothing caught her eyes. She could ride horses, but she didn't know much about them. Noticing she couldn't decide, Huo Wei helped her select a horse. He picked a Friesian horse with a shimmering midnight-black coat. It possessed a majestic bearing but was very calm. When Yu Yuan raised her hand to brush its mane, it didn't make a fuss.

Then Huo Wei selected a powerful thoroughbred for himself. From its muscles, one could tell it excelled in muscular strength and speed.

After the horses had been selected, the workers helped saddle the horses and led them outside. No one here was a novice at horse riding. After everything was set, they all mounted their horses and rode away.

The riding arena was actually a very large pasture. Many activities could be freely held there.

Xie Chang managed to goad Song An and Luo Hai into a competition. Before they left, they chose a time when everyone would meet back at the stables. Luo Meili didn't want to stay behind and be oppressed, so she followed the three. Hence, Huo Wei and Yu Yuan were left behind. They took their time to explore the land.

The air here was fresher. Yu Yuan enjoyed the scenery while Huo Wei quietly accompanied her. The scenery might be nice, but it didn't take long for her to get tired of riding a horse. She checked the time. There was still some time before everyone would meet.

"Would you like to take a short rest before heading back?" Huo Wei asked. Yu Yuan saw no problem with it as long as she could get off the horse. They led their horses to a tree and dismounted.

When Yu Yuan finished settling her horse, she turned around only to discover that Huo Wei had at one point crept up to her. He was exuding a predatory air. He moved closer with calculated steps, forcing her to take multiple steps back until her back nearly hit the tree. Then he gently pressed her against the bark of the tree.

His eyes ravaged her body with a hot gaze, lingering at her legs before looking back up at her. He caressed her cheeks and slowly bowed down. Yu Yuan, who was already waiting in anticipation, parted her lips. He made his way in and plundered everything he could access.

Her hands wrapped around Huo Wei's neck for ease while his hand dropped from her cheeks to hold her waist. Their kiss grew more intoxicating, and Yu Yuan experienced a burst of tingling from the top of her head to the tips of her toes.

She could feel the heat pooling downwards. As if the fire wasn't fierce enough, Huo Wei's other hand slid from her waist to her butt, where he squeezed before moving lower to grasp one of her thighs. He raised her leg and placed it around his waist. He pulled her closer and slowly grinded against her.

Yu Yuan felt like she would combust. Her hands gripped his neck tighter, and she whispered against his lips, "Huo Wei."

He pulled away from her slightly. A devilish smirk grew on his face, and he whispered back, "Don't worry. I won't do anything else."

What do you mean you won't do anything else? If you won't put off the fire, why did you light it?! Yu Yuan didn't have the time to voice her protest before their lips met again. She forgot about her protest in an instant. At the back of her mind, she lamented about how she was so weak-willed against her husband's beauty and charms and how karma had come too quickly.

When they finally made their way back, the couple's lips were red and swollen. One didn't have to be a genius to know what transpired. Huo Wei's friends didn't dare tease him, so they acted like they didn't see anything. Only one person was particularly upset at the sight.
