After lunch and a rest, the intense horse racing competition officially began.
At the start of the competition, Bo Changling took the lead, and Qin Che was not far behind. The two were evenly matched.
As for Mu Lingxi, she rode her horse leisurely, running a few steps when she felt like it, and walking when she didn't feel like it, looking very relaxed.
Yi Changfeng kept his word and stayed firmly by Mu Lingxi's side.
"Why are you always following me, Yi Changfeng?"
The girl was dressed in a clean and stylish riding outfit, her hair tied into a high ponytail, revealing her neat and full forehead.
Her profile is very three-dimensional, especially her high nose bridge and clear jawline, which perfectly showcase the girl's face shape.
Mu Lingxi originally intended to walk slowly behind alone, but she felt a burning gaze, so she turned her head and found Yi Changfeng following behind her.
Although her tone was questioning, her voice was soft and sweet, making it sound more like she was being coquettish.
Yi Changfeng felt as if countless arrows had pierced his heart, making him instantly uncomfortable, and a thin blush rose to his cheeks.
"Oh, no, I was just running around, really nothing."
The girl didn't believe his explanation; the horse ranch was so big, yet this man insisted on running alongside her.
"Really? You really didn't mean to?"
When his little scheme was exposed, Yi Changfeng blushed instantly, his face turning red all the way down to his neck, which looked rather cute.
Mu Lingxi saw that he looked like he had been guessed, and he didn't dare to refute her. He was completely different from the person who had secretly come to find her that night.
She found it amusing that this person was so different from others, and burst out laughing. Her silvery laughter was so endearing.
Yi Changfeng originally wanted to reassert his authority as a husband, but when he thought of the heartfelt text message the girl sent him yesterday, he couldn't muster any backbone.
Now that his thoughts had been guessed, there was no need to pretend anymore. He spurred his horse forward a couple of steps to ride alongside Mu Lingxi.
"Xi'er, what exactly did your love text message yesterday mean? Does it mean...do you like me even a little bit?"
Yi Changfeng's voice still carried a hint of unease, but when he saw the smile in the girl's eyes, he suddenly felt much more relaxed.
Anyway, there's no way I'll let go. No matter what means I use, making Xi'er like me is the most important thing.
Upon hearing Yi Changfeng mention this, Mu Lingxi raised an eyebrow, wanting to thank the man in person.
"You investigated me before choosing to help me, right? Well... how should I put it, I'm still very grateful to you for what happened yesterday, regarding my background and my less-than-honorable past—"
“There’s nothing shameful about it. Xi’er is very good. She’s strong and a wonderful girl. Helping you is something I do willingly.”
Yi Changfeng hurriedly interrupted the girl, afraid that she would belittle herself, and also not wanting the girl to look down on herself.
Moreover, what Yi Changfeng said wasn't entirely false; it's quite common for a stunningly beautiful girl from an orphanage to be led astray.
Flowers without protection are coveted by those with malicious intent, and thus the flowers are harmed.
If it weren't for the thorns on the flowers, they would probably have been picked long ago, without any power to resist.
What did Xi'er do wrong? The ones who are wrong are those who covet her, those people who reek of filth!
Yi Changfeng unconsciously included himself in the insults, but he was completely unaware that he was one of them.
