My sister must marry someone else? Why are you crying when I marry the King of War?

Lin Yulan subconsciously clutched Shao Xun's shirt with both hands, her heart still beating wildly, her face turned slightly pale, and she was frightened and at a loss as to what to do.

The beauty was in his arms, and through the thin spring clothes, the warm breath gradually became obvious, and gradually became hot. The faint fragrance of the woman's powder lingered, touching his heartstrings. The delicate body in his arms was soft, petite, and light, which was an experience he had never had before. Just holding her like this made him feel cautious and in need of care. He felt fresh and a little excited and tempted for no reason. Shao Xun subconsciously tightened his arms, and suddenly felt a little dry mouth and tight throat.

After a while, Lin Yulan's wildly beating heart slowly calmed down, and her blank mind gradually regained clarity.

In front of her was the chest of a man very close to her, the floral patterns on his robe were right in front of her eyes, and the handsome face with clear outlines was also very close.

Her hands could clearly feel the man's firm and elastic skin through his clothes. His strong arms held her tightly, locking her firmly in his arms, making her feel solid and warm.

The clean and sharp scent of a strange man came over me like an overwhelming force.

She dared not move, her hands, feet and body felt weak, and perhaps because of the weather, her cheeks gradually felt hot.

She closed her eyes, not daring to think about whether her face was already red at this moment.

Lin Yulan moved her lips, but didn't know what to say. She didn't even dare to raise her eyes or look at him.

So embarrassing...

Time seems to be stretched infinitely.

She didn't dare to remind him, and for some reason the Marquis didn't react at all, so she didn't dare to move.

Did I scare him just now? Did he feel bad about me being stupid and not wanting to teach me but couldn't say it, so he just kept silent?

The horse snorted, raised its head and neighed.

The two of them subconsciously lowered their heads while the other raised his eyes, and their eyes met.

Lin Yulan opened her red lips slightly, "My Lord..."

The woman in his arms had attractive rosy lips, and her eyes were filled with sparkles of light, which was clear and moving. Shao Xun was in a good mood, with the corners of his lips slightly raised. He calmed himself down and gently put her down, "Madam, do you want to try again?"

Lin Yulan's eyes lit up, "My Lord, are you still willing to teach me?"

"Of course," Shao Xun raised his eyebrows: "As long as Madam is willing--"

"I am willing to do so! As long as the Marquis does not mind."

Lin Yulan suddenly became happy again and regained her confidence.

"Come!" Shao Xun smiled and helped her onto the horse again.

For some reason, as soon as she sat on the horse, Lin Yulan felt her heart tighten and her body stiffened. She dared not move at all. Her head was dizzy and she could not help but look at Shao Xun pitifully.

Shao Xun was very pleased with her pleading look. He grinned, "Don't be afraid. I'm here. Even if you fall, I will catch you. Take a deep breath and relax. Yes, that's it. Straighten your back a little more, relax, don't be nervous, let's try to walk forward, don't be afraid..."

Shao Xun led the horse, urging it to move forward slowly in small steps, looking up at Lin Yulan, reminding and instructing her from time to time.

Lin Yulan finally relaxed and felt less scared.

The view on horseback is wider and open in all directions, which gives a different and fresh feeling than usual.

Her eyes sparkled, she smiled happily, and she dared to move her body.

Shao Xun praised him highly, "Okay, that's it, very simple, right? I said that Madam is smart and has learned very well!"

Shao Chu and Shao Shiqi were waiting in the distance. They were bored and had no choice but to watch the Marquis teach his wife how to ride a horse.

Both of them were carefully selected secret guards for Shao Xun. Shao Chu brought several people to follow Shao Xun in the Marquis' Mansion, while Shao Shiqi and Shao Shiba lived in the manor outside the city for a long time and were responsible for internal and external communications as well as handling some other matters for Shao Xun.

The two men were both very skilled in martial arts, and even though they were not close to each other, they could still hear the conversation on the racecourse.

Shao Shiqi was surprised: "When did our Lord become so patient? What happened recently? Has the Lord been provoked by something?"

Shao Chu glanced at him speechlessly: "The Marquis is naturally patient with his wife, try someone else!"

Shao Shiqi became even more interested when he heard this, and the fire of gossip burned fiercely, "I have heard that the Marquis treats his wife very well, I didn't expect it to be true. You are right, if someone else rode a horse like this, the Marquis would have ridiculed him long ago, how could he teach him personally. Listen, the Marquis even praised his wife for her good riding, I didn't expect that the Marquis would actually praise others."

If it were someone else with this level of riding skills, the Marquis wouldn't even look at him, and would be lucky if he didn't curse or mock him.

You know what, it feels quite fresh to hear the Marquis tell lies with his eyes open.

Ah, he didn't mean to mock the lady for her poor horse riding skills. Since the Marquis values ​​her, then whatever the lady does is right!

Shao Chuyi raised his eyebrows: "You don't understand, there are many things you haven't thought of."

Shao Shiqi smiled and became more interested: "I just came back from Jiangnan, it seems I missed a lot, Boss, tell me about it."

Shao Chu was too lazy to pay attention to him: "It is taboo to discuss the master in private. What do you mean? You don't have eyes."

Shao Shiqi choked and snorted, "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I understand even if you don't tell me. It's right to listen to Madam!"

Since the Marquis values ​​his wife, they, as his subordinates, should naturally value her even more. If they do something wrong in the future, they will have someone to seek mercy.

Shao Shiqi's abacus was clacking in his mind.

Shao Chu laughed, "That's a pretty clear statement."

Looking at how worthless the Marquis was, Shao Chu sighed in his heart. The Marquis probably didn't know how worthless he was right now, right?

Shao Xun led Lin Yulan on the horse for a long time, but Lin Yulan still didn't dare to try to ride the horse by holding the reins herself. No matter how Shao Xun comforted and praised her, it was useless.

To ask is to be afraid.

I am afraid but can't bear to give up, I am eager to try but I don't dare.

As if she knew that the man next to her would not ignore her, Lin Yulan was full of trust and dependence at this moment, "My Lord, I am always afraid, what should I do?"

She didn't dare, so Shao Xun didn't dare let her take the risk. If she got scared and jumped down again when the horse started running, he might not be able to catch her in time.

Shao Xun's heart moved, "How about I take you for a ride?"

If she has no objection, then he has no objection.

Lin Yulan was an outsider who knew nothing, so she readily accepted the advice of professionals. She was more than happy to hear that the Marquis was willing to take her with her, so she readily agreed.

Shao Xun smiled, climbed onto the horse, and landed behind Lin Yulan. He put his hands around her and held her firmly in his arms. "Madam, sit tight. I'll take you for a run. Then you'll know that riding a horse is just like this, and you won't be afraid anymore."

Lin Yulan: “…”

Lin Yulan froze again, and the smile on her lips froze. She swears to God, she really didn't know that this was how he took her for a ride. She thought he would ride on another horse and take her side by side...
