Let me be a concubine? I turned to someone else's arms

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the two men rode their horses, galloping towards the direction of the setting sun. After an unknown amount of time, they came to a lake on the grass.

The horse stepped lightly on the grass, and the sound of its hooves echoed by the tranquil lake. The man gently pulled the reins and let the horse stop by the lake.

He was the first to dismount, then went over to help the girl down. The girl gracefully dismounted with the help of her lover's arms. Her skirt fluttered gently like petals in the breeze, drawing a beautiful arc.

"here it is……?"

Luo Qin looked at the lake in front of him, which covered several hundred square meters. The surface of the lake was like a mirror, reflecting the orange-red sunset in the sky.

The breeze blew, the water plants swayed gently, the water rippled, and made a subtle sound. The grass by the lake was like a soft green carpet, spreading into the distance.

"This is the small lake where the horses at the farm drink water." Xie Yun said.

The horses at Xie's horse farm are let out during the day to roam freely on the pasture, and come here to drink water when they are tired.

Next to the lake stands a sturdy pear tree, with snow-white pear blossoms hanging from its branches, as if dancing in the breeze.

Xie Yun loosened the reins and let the two horses walk freely to the lake to drink water.

"Aqin, come here."

Xie Jun smiled and stretched out his hands to Luo Qin, his eyes revealing a hint of tenderness and expectation.

Luo Qin was stunned for a moment, his heart full of doubts.

Why did the eldest cousin reach out to her?

She looked at him hesitantly, at a loss.

Xie Yun noticed the confusion in her eyes and laughed softly, his smile as warm and natural as the spring breeze.

He took the initiative to stretch out his hand and grasped Luo Qin's soft and boneless hand with his big hand, as if this action was nothing out of the ordinary.

Luo Qin's heartbeat accelerated instantly, and a blush appeared on her jade-white cheeks. She widened her eyes slightly, almost unable to believe what was happening before her eyes.

What on earth is he doing?!

However, Xie Yun didn't seem to notice her nervousness and confusion. He still held her hand gently and strolled along the lake, enjoying this peaceful and beautiful time together.

They slowly walked to the snow-white pear tree. Xie Yun held Luo Qin's hand tightly, turned around, and said softly, "Let's take a rest here."

After saying this, he pulled her to sit on the ground with his back against the pear tree, but he never let go of her hands, feeling each other's warmth from their intertwined hands.

Luo Qin's thoughts were still a little confused, and her head was in a mess. At this moment, she heard Xie Jun beside her whisper: "Aqin, look, the sun is about to set."

She followed his gaze, looking towards the western hills, and saw the sun gradually retracting its dazzling light, like a tired traveler, slowly sinking into the mountains, leaving a warm and soft afterglow for the world.

The sky was filled with orange-red glow, poetic and picturesque, intoxicating. The golden afterglow reflected on the calm lake, creating layers of sparkling ripples, as if countless diamonds were jumping and dancing in the water.

The afterglow of the setting sun was like nature's most generous gift, gently falling on them, lengthening their figures as if they had merged into one with the beautiful scenery.

At this moment, time seems to stand still, only the breeze gently blows the hair, bringing a cool feeling.

Luo Qin also forgot the embarrassment and discomfort he had just felt, and stared quietly at the sunset in the west.

Her mood became calm and peaceful, as if she was baptized by this magnificent scene.

When the sunset completely disappeared behind the mountain, she heard the man beside her say softly, "Aqin, let's come back tomorrow."

The man's voice was very light and soft, like a gentle spring breeze blowing through the soul, bringing with it an inexplicable warmth and tranquility. The voice had magical power that made people involuntarily intoxicated by it.

The setting sun, green grass, quiet lake and white pears together form a beautiful picture, like a fairyland on earth.

At this moment, she felt the burning touch from the man's palm, as if an electric current was running through her whole body.

She took a deep breath and secretly sighed that she was really going to fall...

Luo Qin turned her head slightly and was surprised to find that the man had been staring at her face quietly, as if she was the most beautiful thing in the world in his eyes.

Their eyes met, and Luo Qin saw that the original coldness in Xie Jun's eyes gradually dissipated, and was replaced by endless tenderness, just like the lake water in early spring when the ice and snow melted, clear and warm.

The soft glow of the sunset illuminated the handsome face of this young man, giving his fair and handsome features a layer of sacred glow. At that moment, he was more beautiful than the sunset.

He spoke softly, his voice like a breeze blowing across the strings of a musical instrument: "Aqin, I..."

Luo Qin's breathing stagnated slightly, her bright eyes staring at him intently, a feeling of nervousness and anticipation rising in her heart.

"I..." Xie Yun's voice suddenly weakened. After hesitating for a moment, the emotion in his eyes quietly faded away. He quickly looked away and said with a hint of regret, "Forget it, it's okay..."

Seeing him like this, Luo Qin couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.

In fact, Xie Jun wanted to tell Luo Qin that he liked her. However, when the words came to his mouth, he felt that now was not the right time. They had known each other for too short a time and he had not made sufficient preparations. It would seem disrespectful to express it in such a hasty manner, so he decided to wait for some time.

After a while, Xie Yun broke the silence and said, "Aqin, it's getting late, let's go back."

"Good." Luo Qin replied softly.

Xie Yun stood up, brushed off the weeds on his robe, then reached out to Luo Qin and carefully pulled her up.

Afterwards, Xie Yun walked to the side and brought Taxue and Tafeng, who had already drunk enough water, over. The two of them got on their horses, rode side by side, and slowly headed in the direction they came from...

On the carriage back to Luo Mansion, Luo Qin recalled Xie Yun's actions just now and his face became hot again.

Is this... what her cousin is thinking?

Is Xie Yun also interested in her?

Or maybe she was just being too sentimental...

Indeed, Xie Yun's appearance was truly fatal to her, who was obsessed with looks.

The most aloof and noble among the gentlemen, his face is as majestic as the moon in the clouds, his temperament is as elegant as a lotus in the water, his figure is as sturdy as a cypress, and he is not weak either...

This is completely in line with her aesthetic taste.

She admitted that she wanted to eat swan meat, but swan meat was too noble and she didn't have the courage...

Xie Yun is the heir of the Xie family, so his wife must be a good match. She is just a minor branch, and her father and brother are just minor officials...

Even if Xie Yun liked her, the Xie clan elders wouldn't agree...

Oh, so conflicted.

Luo Qin looked out the window at the night and sighed. Seeing this, Rufang said, "Girl, are you worried about something?"

The girl has been absent-minded since she parted with Xie Dalang, and she sighs deeply from time to time. What happened?

Did something happen between you and Mr. Xie?

After hearing Rufang's words, Luo Qin just shook his head lightly, "Nothing."
