"What do you want to play today?" Chen Jingxi asked.

"Ah!" How did she know she had a plan? Did she know something? No, she had someone with great guidance this time.

Chen Jingxi smiled faintly, and Jiang Xiwan had a clear and foolish look in her eyes.

From the beginning, when he teased her in person, to painting, toasting, and using fireworks, he used all of them in the open and never resorted to any underhanded tactics.

Because of this, she always embarrassed her but didn't do anything to her. Unexpectedly, this girl became more and more courageous after facing more setbacks.

Jiang Xiwan thought about it for a while, but didn't feel like she had revealed any flaws, so she put on a guilty expression and said, "It's been several months since the fireworks incident. I've been feeling regretful all the time."

"When I think about how I almost hurt you because of my willfulness, I haven't had a good sleep. Countless times in the middle of the night, I'm glad that the arrow missed."

"Now I sincerely apologize to you."

Chen Jingxi looked at her guilty expression, but her heart remained calm. She said calmly, "Miss Jiang, do you eat with a bowl?"

Jiang Xiwan: "Ah???"

"I think you are quite good at pretending."

"No, I..." She had already apologized, why did this person talk like that?

Chen Jingxi got up and left.

Jiang Xiwan came to her senses and hurriedly chased after him, "Princess Su, why are you leaving before I've finished speaking?"

Chen Jingxi stopped and said, "Didn't I tell you already? I'm afraid of big idiots."

A hint of anger flashed across Jiang Xiwan's face, but she forced herself not to lose her temper. "I know you blame me for what happened last time, but it was really a misunderstanding. I've always wanted to apologize, but I never had the chance. I finally met you today, but you're leaving now. Aren't you being too disrespectful to me?"

"Face is earned by yourself, not given by others. If you really want to reconcile with me, you should show your sincerity instead of pretending here." After saying that, she turned around again and prepared to leave.

Jiang Xiwan still refused to give up and continued to pester him, "Then what do you want me to do in exchange for your forgiveness?"

Chen Jingxi didn't say anything, but asked: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"I want you to go to the horse races with me."

As soon as the words came out, Jiang Xiwan quickly covered her mouth, thinking to herself, "Oh no! Why did he say it so directly? She wouldn't refuse, would she?"

Her original plan was to ask for Chen Jingxi's forgiveness first, then naturally invite her to go horseback riding, and then bring up the horse racing issue along the way, but now...

Chen Jingxi raised her eyebrows slightly. Horse racing? This is something that is prone to accidents, but the women of the Chen family are not afraid of trouble.

"Horse racing, all right, what's the prize?"

"Ah?" She didn't expect Chen Jingxi to agree. Then what was the point of her painstaking apology just now?

"Since it's horse racing, there has to be a prize, otherwise it would be so boring."

Jiang Xiwan gritted her teeth and said, "If I win, you will forgive my previous rudeness and give me 50,000 taels."

This time, she wants to take back everything that they and their siblings have lost.

"Okay." Chen Jingxi agreed readily. "What if you lose?"

Jiang Xiwan raised her chin slightly, "If I lose, I'll leave it to you to do whatever you want."

"Okay, how do you want to fight?"

"From the city gate to the Wangke Pavilion, twenty miles away, whoever gets there first wins!"

"good."

Arrived at the city gate.

Jiang Xiwan pretended to be concerned and said, "Princess Su, if anything goes wrong or gets hurt along the way..."

"Whether dead or alive, each one is responsible for his own fate."

After hearing this, Jiang Xiwan gave Chen Jingxi a look that said "You're doomed to lose", and then she climbed onto the horse in a cool manner.

Chen Jingxi was not afraid at all. She took the whip handed to her by Han Yu, cast a provocative look at Jiang Xiwan, and then walked towards her horse in a leisurely manner.

Seeing Chen Jingxi's calm demeanor, Jiang Xiwan suddenly felt a little nervous. She couldn't help but think of the last time they set off fireworks, Chen Jingxi had the same expression. Could it be... that she was really good at riding horses?

However, Chen Jingxi walked to the horse and tried to get on it twice but still couldn't get on.

Jiang Xiwan: "..." She was worrying too much and almost thought that Chen Jingxi was an equestrian expert.

Han Yu held his forehead, stepped forward to help Chen Jingxi onto the horse, and asked, "Princess, are you able to do this?"

After Chen Jingxi went up, everything was ready and she made a gesture to Han Yu.

"call out--"

Chen Jingxi's horse galloped out and headed towards the moat.

Jiang Xiwan smiled in surprise, "Beautiful."

Han Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, it was winter and the moat was frozen.
