Chapter 170: This Beautiful Love
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The man rode a fierce horse and ran wildly on the race course. His tall figure was exceptionally eye-catching.
However, upon closer inspection, one would notice that there was a pet.i.te figure in the man’s arms, almost covered by the afterimages caused by their speed.
The fierce horse ran fast and wild, not docile at all. It only knew how to press forward, but it had no choice but to be steered by the man’s agile and strong hands, turning it one way after another.
The presence of a suit and horse riding clearly seemed incompatible, but anyone who saw Huo Yichen’s face couldn’t help but find him elegant and handsome. The solemnity and wildness mixed together, creating a feeling that was both restrained and captivating.
Despite his handsomeness, Huo Yichen’s attention was still focused on the spirited horse beneath him. He tugged at the reins in his hand, engaged in a struggle for control with the horse itself.
Training a horse was a difficult task, especially for such a strong horse. It was even more unwilling to take the initiative to lower its head.
Although the two of them could stay on the horse’s back safely, the horse clearly had its own thoughts. It ignored the track in front of it and charged towards the tree beside it, wanting to send the two people on its back flying.
Seeing that the horse and its riders were about to smash into the tree, exclamations sounded one after another. Some people closed their eyes, afraid that they would see a b.l.o.o.d.y scene.
Murong Qiao was so frightened that her face turned pale. She watched helplessly as the distance between her and the tree quickly shortened
“Huuf—” The neigh of a horse sounded.
Just as they were about to hit the tree, Huo Yichen suddenly changed his direction, forcing the horse to turn around to avoid this disaster.
The Young Misses present couldn’t take their eyes off him. They even let out soft screams, marveling at Huo Yichen’s actions.
“But Huo Yichen’s gaze belonged to no one else. Unlike the coldness in controlling the spirited horse, when he lowered his head to look at the person in his arms, his eyes were filled with tenderness, as if gazing at a treasure.” “Slow, slow down.” Murong Qiao’s intermittent voice came from the wind with her eyes closed.
After Huo Yichen took control of the horse, Murong Qiao turned around and hugged Huo Yichen’s waist tightly, as if she wanted to tie the two of them together.
It had nothing to do with anything else. It was just that the horse was too fast. It was so fast that Murong Qiao couldn’t even open her eyes.
When Huo Yichen heard Murong Qiao’s words, he pulled the reins tightly to slow the horse down. Perhaps the scene just now had frightened the horse, so it was a little more obedient this time.
He enjoyed the feeling of being hugged tightly, but Murong Qiao was clearly not feeling well at the moment. Huo Yichen slowly controlled the horse to slow down.
“Is this enough?” he asked gently.
The vibration coming from his chest made her face blush intensely. It was rare for her to have such close contact with Huo Yichen. The warmth emanating from his body gradually spread to her, and the familiar cool fragrance seemed to become fiery and restless due to the jolting and exertion. It shed its cold exterior, revealing a scorching and captivating essence, leaving her somewhat bewildered.
She opened her eyes. The wind was no longer as strong, but the horse didn’t look obedient, as if it still wanted to resist. Unfortunately, it was firmly controlled by Huo Yichen and could only run.
Under Huo Yichen’s control, the horse slowed down bit by bit, allowing everyone to see a full picture of the situation.
Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao were closely pressed together as they rode the horse. Murong Qiao, nestled in Huo Yichen’s arms, had a glimmer in her eyes. She raised her head with a smile, looking at Huo Yichen behind her. Her stunning side profile was like a rose in full bloom, exuding a captivating fragrance that enveloped the surroundings. Huo Yichen also turned his gaze down at her, his usually cold expression softening significantly. There was an indescribable tenderness in his eyes as he looked at Murong Qiao.
The only thing in their eyes was the image of each other. This scene was instantly imprinted in everyone’s minds.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman together, riding atop a wild horse. They looked very compatible.
“This, this is beautiful love!” Someone said excitedly.
The others subconsciously nodded in agreement. The scene of Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao together was too beautiful, making them feel that the two of them were a match made in heaven.
One was the Young Miss of the Murong Family, and the other was the Young Master of the Huo Family.
Thinking about it this way, these two people were even more impeccable together. They reinforced each other!
“…” Feng Xinyao was so angry that her entire body was trembling, and her face turned green. She almost couldn’t maintain her usual disguise.
She originally wanted to embarra.s.s Murong Qiao and obtain first place so that everyone would pay attention to her.
Everything was going fine, but Huo Yichen appeared!
Feng Xinyao looked at Murong Qiao angrily and watched as she was pulled into Huo Yichen’s arms and stole everyone’s attention.
If she was the one who made a mistake… those gazes would belong to her now.
Thinking of that scene, Feng Xinyao almost couldn’t control the jealousy and hatred in her heart.
For safety, Huo Yichen took advantage of the horse’s obedience to dismount with Murong Qiao to avoid her getting injured.
“How are you?” Seeing his Little Sister dismount, Murong Chuan, who had been worried, hurriedly ran over and looked at her worriedly.
Huo Yichen was pushed aside by Murong Chuan. He raised his eyebrows and did not say anything. When he was riding the horse just now, he felt Murong Chuan’s gaze from afar. It was filled with hostility.
“I’m fine. I’ll be fine after resting for a while.” Murong Qiao panted and waved her hand.
The b.u.mpy ride just now, coupled with the fact that it was her first time riding a horse, made her feel even more panicked than the people watching. At this moment, when her feet touched the ground, Murong Qiao felt like she was stepping on cotton.
The outcome of the compet.i.tion was no longer important. Now, everyone’s eyes were on Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao. They were all curious about the relationship between the two of them. After all, Young Master Huo wouldn’t save someone for no reason.
“Why do I feel that Young Master Huo clearly likes Young Miss Murong? When he got off the horse just now, I felt that the way he looked at Young Miss Murong was different. It was especially sweet.”
“Isn’t that obvious? He must like her. Otherwise, why would he take on the role of a hero to save the damsel in distress?”
“Perhaps it was love at first sight. Young Miss Murong is so beautiful. Who wouldn’t be tempted?”
What happened on the horse ranch seemed to have grown wings and quickly spread throughout the banquet. Not long after, everyone found out that Young Master Huo had an extraordinary relationship with the daughter of the Murong Family.
Even many people from the older generation knew about this matter and guessed what was going on between the Huo Family and the Murong Family.
Even Cheng Jie’s father, Cheng Shu, also found out about this. He secretly resented his son for being disappointing and hurriedly asked someone to find Cheng Jie.
“Father, you were looking for me.” Cheng Jie’s tone was cold.
He naturally witnessed the entire process of Huo Yichen saving Murong Qiao and didn’t feel much better.
“You disappoint me too much.” Cheng Shu looked at his son in frustration and couldn’t help but think of Luo Wanbai, who had been by Cheng Jie’s side recently. He was furious. “It’s fine if you don’t know how to please Murong Qiao, but you actually got together with such a woman!”
Cheng Shu’s words were like a knife that pierced Luo Wanbai’s body, filled with disdain for her.
“In terms of background, looks, and talent, she can’t compare to the daughter of the Murong Family in any way.”
He had a deep impression of Luo Wanbai. The fact that she had given him a fake painting at his birthday banquet was still vivid in his mind. It was precisely because of this that Cheng Shu felt even more angry with his son.
The Luo Family was not worth looking at, not to mention that they had been almost suppressed to death recently. Although Luo Wanbai was beautiful, there were a lot of good-looking people in the world. No matter how one looked at it, she was far less valuable than Murong Qiao.
“I’m just playing with her.” Cheng Jie smiled after a moment of silence.
He knew very well that his target was Murong Qiao. Especially when he saw the other party’s riding clothes today, he was even more tempted.
Murong Qiao was someone he had to get.
As for Luo Wanbai, she was just a toy. Cheng Jie thought about the Murong Qiao he had seen today and his heart itched.
Hearing Cheng Jie’s words, Cheng Shu’s expression became much better. “It’s good that you know what to do. Don’t make me remind you again and again what to do..”
