Chapter 113 This bouquet of flowers looks a little familiar

Seeing Gu Zhiyan and Jian Yao get out of the car, the housekeeper stepped forward to greet them and bowed, "Mr. Gu, Madam."

Gu Zhiyan nodded, "Everyone go away, my wife and I are just going to take a look around."

The butler nodded, "Yes."

After everyone left, Gu Zhiyan turned his head to look at Jian Yao, "Do you want to go in and take a look first?"

Jian Yao looked up at the huge castle, and with the Chinese gene of "since we're already here" engraved in their bones, she took Gu Zhiyan's hand and said, "Let's go."

Roses are growing wildly all over the ground, leaving only a small path leading to the castle entrance. The style of the entire castle is full of rose elements, with a strong European medieval Gothic style.

The castle's lobby has a five-meter-high ceiling and is extremely spacious. In the middle, a huge crystal lamp winds down like a waterfall, more than three meters long.

Jian Yao's gaze passed over a row of famous artists' oil paintings on the wall and fell on a bunch of black buck everlasting flowers above the fireplace.

She took a few steps closer and took a closer look at the packaging and the style of the flowers. "I feel like this bouquet of flowers looks a little familiar."

Gu Zhiyan lowered his eyes and looked at her fair face, his eyes dark, "Really?"

Jian Yao nodded without any defense, "Yeah, a bit like me before..."

She was halfway through her sentence when she realized something belatedly, and the rest of the words suddenly got stuck in her throat.

Gu Zhiyan raised his eyebrows and looked at her calmly, his tone and emotion difficult to discern, "A bit like what you did before?"

Jian Yao's dark eyes turned and she changed her words midway, "It's a bit like the style I used to...like."

Gu Zhiyan's expression remained unchanged. "Really? Then what style do you like now?"

Jian Yao stared at Gu Zhiyan with wide eyes. Why was he still chasing her and trying to kill her?

Wouldn't he know something?

Jian Yao touched his nose a little guilty and looked around, "I like this castle and the black bucks you planted outside."

She was not fooling Gu Zhiyan, she really liked him.

While she was speaking, she had been secretly observing Gu Zhiyan's expression. She saw that although he didn't say anything, the corners of his lips were secretly curled up, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

We can't stay in this place anymore!

Jian Yao tried to change the subject, "Didn't you say you would teach me how to ride a horse? Let's go now."

Gu Zhiyan saw through her thoughts at a glance, raised his arm, motioned for her to take his, and said, "Let's go."

The horse farm and the castle are still some distance away, so you need to take a car to get there.

However, it was not the car they had just driven over.

It was a modified carriage of the type used by medieval nobles. Its snow-white metal body could accommodate at least four people, and tea and snacks were already prepared.

In front, two white horses with very similar bodies were wearing small silver armors, looking majestic.

The butler who had just met them at the door acted as a temporary coachman.

After arriving at the castle, everything she saw gave Jian Yao the illusion of traveling through time and space.

The butler held the reins and turned to look at him with a smile, "Boss Gu, Madam, everything has been arranged at the stables. We have chosen the most docile Pearl for Madam."

Gu Zhiyan nodded, opened the car door and helped Jian Yao get in, while explaining in a low voice, "Zhenzhu is a pure-blooded horse. Because her coat is snow-white with a soft pearl-like luster, she was named Zhenzhu. Her personality is as gentle as her name."

The four words "blood-sweating precious horse" seemed to be pulling a banner, passing through her mind with sound effects.

I still remember that the last time I came across these four words was when I was in college and had no classes, curled up in bed and secretly reading palace fighting novels.

What does the book say?

Royal tributes are priceless and even the least favored princes and princesses are not qualified to touch them...

This was the first time after Jian Yao and Gu Zhiyan got together that she realized very clearly that the gap between the Jian family and the Gu family was as huge as the difference between heaven and earth.

She hesitated a little. "I've just learned how to ride a horse. Isn't it a bit of a waste of pearls?"

If she fell, she wouldn't know whether to feel sorry for herself first or for the horse.

The carriage drove slowly. Gu Zhiyan picked up the teapot and poured Jian Yao a cup of black tea. "Because you are a beginner, you need pearls. It is very human. Don't be afraid."

He casually pushed the rose cake in front of him to Jian Yao, "This is a freshly baked rose cake. Try it and see if it tastes good."

Different from the palm-sized rose cakes on the market, this one is more delicate and is made with reference to the method of Tang Guozi. It is exquisite and small, the size of a thumb, and can be eaten one bite at a time. It is obvious that it is made with great care.

Jian Yao picked up one, looked at it carefully, and was about to put it in her mouth.

When she raised her eyes, she met Gu Zhiyan's gaze. Her heart softened and she walked in front of Gu Zhiyan.

"The first one is for you."

Gu Zhiyan looked at her and suddenly smiled. Without reaching out to take it, he lowered his head and took it directly from her hand. His warm lips brushed across her knuckles, causing her to shudder.

Jian Yao's heart skipped a beat and he instinctively withdrew his hand, gently rubbing his fingertips.

I don’t know if it was her illusion.

It seems that Gu Zhiyan has become more and more bold since he started dating.

Jian Yao looked at Gu Zhiyan, trying to figure out whether he had done it on purpose.

Unexpectedly, when he met her gaze, Gu Zhiyan did not dodge or avoid it, but smiled calmly, "Thank you, ma'am, it's delicious."

Seeing that Jian Yao was still looking at him, he even teased, "Madam, you are looking at me like this, are you asking me to reciprocate?"

Jian Yao was now extremely sensitive to the phrase "reciprocity" and quickly shook her head, "No, no, I'll do it myself."

Gu Zhiyan knew that Jian Yao was shy, and since there were other people around, he didn't dare tease her any further. He just leaned back in his chair and watched her eat like a little hamster.

…

When they arrived at the horse farm, Gu Zhiyan took Jian Yao to the stable to see Zhenzhu first.

The stable is the Gu family's private stable, not open to the public. There are not many horses, only about twenty or so, but each one is a famous horse carefully selected.

In front of Zhenzhu's exclusive stable, Gu Zhiyan raised his hand and let Zhenzhu smell the scent of his hand, then he touched its head and introduced it to it in a low voice.

"I brought a new owner to see you today. Her name is Jian Yao. Her safety is in your hands."

Jian Yao: ???

Is this really not the opposite of what is said?

Regardless of whether it can understand, isn't it a bit ridiculous to let a horse take care of her?

However, Zhenzhu seemed to understand. She rubbed Gu Zhiyan's hand and looked at Jian Yao.

Gu Zhiyan looked at Jian Yao encouragingly, "You can touch it and let it get familiar with your smell."

Jian Yao had never been in contact with a horse before and was a little nervous, but she still raised her hand slowly.

Unexpectedly, Zhenzhu lowered her head on her own initiative and rubbed it against Jian Yao's palm.

It was well cared for, with pearly fur that was shiny and smooth, like fine satin flowing through the palm of your hand.

Jian Yao exclaimed softly and looked at Gu Zhiyan happily, her eyes curved like crescents, "It's so well behaved!"

Gu Zhiyan looked into her sparkling eyes and raised his thin lips slightly, "It likes you very much."

Just because you have a gentle temperament doesn't mean anyone can ride.

Animals are all spiritual, and so is Pearl. The fact that she is willing to take the initiative to get close to Jian Yao shows that they are destined to be together.

Gu Zhiyan personally took out a specially made saddle and put it on Zhenzhu. Jian Yao's hand that was stroking Zhenzhu's hair paused, and she suddenly realized something.

"I don't have a riding costume!"
