Chapter 089: Restlessness in the Night
"I……"
Xiao Nanchen's throat was frozen, and he didn't know how to explain himself: "You..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard Shen Ning burst into laughter: "After a few days, I will be the Lord of the Country. From now on, please call me Lord Shen of the Country."
Xiao Nanchen froze again:...?
Shen Ning was immersed in boasting and didn't realize anything. Instead, he stood up proudly and raised his hands to act like an old Buddha: "Come on, Xiao Nanzi, why don't you help Hong Xiangjun."
It looks exactly like the posture of summoning a little eunuch.
Looking at the hand stretched out in front of him, and thinking of the sudden shock he had received just a moment ago, Xiao Nanchen gritted his teeth, suddenly grabbed the hand, and pulled the person over with a sudden force.
"ah……"
Shen Ning was pulled over unexpectedly, tripped and fell directly onto Xiao Nanchen's legs. Both of them were stunned for a moment.
Xiao Nanchen subconsciously held the man by the waist the moment before, then abruptly withdrew his hand, his lips moving as he spoke in a dry voice: "You...are so insolent!"
After he said this, he realized what a mess he was talking about.
Shen Ning's heart was also beating like thunder. She pushed the person away and stood up: "Isn't this just a rehearsal first? Do you think you can spoil the fun?"
Shen Ning was furious, and Xiao Nanchen looked away and remained silent.
The atmosphere is a bit weird...
Xiao Nanchen lowered his eyes and picked up the teacup to drink tea. He didn't look at Shen Ning anymore, but changed the subject to ask her, "What's going on, Xiangjun?"
Of course he knew what was going on, but "Zhao Nan" shouldn't know, so he deliberately asked.
Shen Ning also coughed lightly, her expression returned to normal, and after thinking for a while, she asked Xiao Nanchen: "Anan, have you heard of Master Xu San?"
Xiao Nanchen raised his eyes and asked, "Xu Zhiyi from the Xu family?"
Shen Ning hummed: "I gave him the recipe for making thunder bombs, and he promised to get the title of Xiangjun for me. What do you think of this?"
Xiao Nanchen looked at her and said, "You gave him that kind of thing without even knowing the outcome?"
Chen Ning smiled and said, "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. Besides, I don't have any other options. Moreover, I think that Mr. Xu San may not look like a gentleman, but he doesn't look like a despicable villain who doesn't keep his word."
"Looks like?"
Xiao Nanchen looked at her and asked, "Do you think Xu Zhiyi is good-looking?"
Shen Ning was stunned for a moment, then snorted and laughed: "Are you going to remind me to keep myself clean again..."
Xiao Nanchen slowly withdrew his gaze: "I didn't."
He said slowly: "I know what you are thinking."
Shen Ning loved him so much that she called his name even when she was unconscious. How could she look at other men?
He had made the same mistake several times before, but he would not make the same mistake again.
Xiao Nanchen said calmly, "I want to remind you that Xu Zhiyi isn't as casual and easygoing as he appears. Don't be fooled by his appearance, but he does have one thing in common: he never breaks his promises."
Shen Ning breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled: "That's good, my Xiangjun is stable."
When she was happy, her eyes would be curved with smiles and dimples would form on her lips... Xiao Nanchen felt a little thirsty when he looked at her, so he turned around and took a big sip of tea.
At this moment, Shen Ning suddenly remembered something: "By the way, have you ever noticed the horse that pulls our cart? Is it a BMW?"
Xu Zhiyi praised that horse last time.
Considering his knowledge, he made a special trip to praise it, so I think it is not an ordinary BMW.
Xiao Nanchen felt a little helpless and thought to himself: You just found out?
He hummed, "That's a Black Qilin, and it's been raised very carefully. It's indeed a rare and fine horse."
Shen Ning clapped her hands and said happily: "That's a bargain for me. Guess how much I paid for that horse?"
Xiao Nanchen lowered his eyes, the corners of his lips slightly raised: "I can't guess."
"Thirty taels!"
Shen Ning sighed, "I was wondering why that guy sold his horse like he was selling his father. He kept looking back every few steps, looking like he was about to cry..."
She was halfway through her words when she suddenly stopped talking.
Yes, that person obviously knew that this was a BMW, so why did he sell it for thirty taels?
In a flash, Shen Ning suddenly remembered something.
Two days before buying the horse, when she was looking at houses, the man who wanted to sell her a luxury house for 100 taels...
So, is this someone finding a way to send her something?
I never thought about it before, but now that I suddenly bring it up, I suddenly feel that there are indeed clues.
She looked at Xiao Nanchen across from her...
At this moment, she heard Xiao Nanchen suddenly say, "Do you want to try that black Qilin?"
Shen Ning looked up: "Huh?"
She was tempted, but a little hesitant: "My horsemanship is average."
In the past, I only rode horses in the stables, and the horses I rode were all tamed and extremely docile.
"I can take you."
Shen Ning looked over and saw Xiao Nanchen said again: "If you don't want to go, then forget it..."
"Go ahead."
Shen Ning rubbed his hands in anticipation: "I finally got a BMW, I have to broaden my horizons."
Xiao Nanchen hummed, "Then go change your clothes. I'll have someone put the saddle up."
Shen Ning responded and turned around and walked quickly back to the room.
She didn't have special riding clothes, so she changed into a more neat long skirt with a waist and arrow sleeves that she used for martial arts training.
Xiao Nanchen drank two cups of cold tea in a row. When he heard footsteps, he turned around and felt that the restlessness that had been suppressed by the cold tea was surging up again.
Chen Ning's long skirt was dark red, and the arrow sleeves made her shoulders look thin. Her slender waist and plump body formed a very obvious arc. She smiled brightly: "Let's go, Anan."
"Um."
Xiao Nanchen responded softly, turned around and walked out.
The black unicorn was usually very arrogant, but when he saw Xiao Nanchen, he snorted and turned around in circles, his lips twitching in anxiety.
If he could speak, he would have screamed, "Come and ride me, come and ride me!"
Shen Ning watched from behind, thoughtful.
So, it is indeed Xiao Nanchen?
When she was moving, she secretly arranged for someone to deliver her a luxury house and a BMW...
Chen Ning felt a little warm in her heart, thinking that although this man usually had the aura of a feudal ruler, he was actually quite thoughtful.
"Let's go."
Mo Qilin was led out and stood there very obediently. Xiao Nanchen asked Chen Ning to get on the horse.
Shen Ning glanced at the stirrups, stretched out her hand and was about to climb up, when she suddenly felt her shoulders tighten and her body lighten. The next moment, Xiao Nanchen easily put her on the horse.
She whispered, "You scared me."
Xiao Nanchen didn't say anything. He glanced at the space reserved behind Shen Ning on the saddle and suddenly felt a little regretful.
He only thought about taking her horseback riding, forgetting what an intimate gesture that would be.
But now it's too late to regret.
His Royal Highness Prince Ding's Adam's apple moved slightly, and after a pause, he jumped onto the horse... When he pulled up the reins, he circled Shen Ning in his arms.
Chen Ning didn't think much about it at first, but at this moment, the unique scent of the man behind her enveloped her. Xiao Nanchen still had the pine-scented perfume that Chen Ning had given him. It was very light, but it made her suddenly feel a little uncomfortable.
Inexplicably, I thought of the chaotic and passionate night in Haishi...
But the tension only lasted for a moment, and Shen Ning immediately recited the heart-clearing mantra silently.
"Prosperity, democracy, civilization and harmony..."
This is the future Emperor Jingyong, now nominally her brother-in-law. He really wants to have a pair of laser eyes to stare at her to see if he is the self-disciplined father in power. But she must not get dizzy.
Very useful, instantly sober!
As dusk fell, the horses rode along the long street towards the outskirts of the city...
If Shen Ning was still a little uncomfortable at the beginning, then when they left the city and Mo Qilin galloped forward along the road in the wilderness like chasing the wind and stepping on the moon, she felt completely empty.
The mountains in the distance were shrouded in dusk, the stars on the top of the mountain were twinkling, the crescent moon gradually appeared behind the clouds, the wind blowing across the cheeks... The trees on both sides of the road were rapidly receding, and Shen Ning felt as if she was floating in the air.
“This is so cool…”
She stretched out a hand and felt the wind passing through her fingers, her eyes full of joy.
Black hair kept brushing against Xiao Nanchen's cheeks, and her usual scent of pear blossoms filled his nose. Feeling Shen Ning's back pressed against his chest because of the galloping horse, Xiao Nanchen gripped the reins tightly with both hands, resisting the urge to reach out and wrap his arms around her waist.
The black unicorn was originally trained as a warhorse. He was bored after being cooped up in the city for the past few months. Now that he can finally gallop freely, he is very happy. He runs faster and faster, as if he is really stepping into the clouds.
Shen Ning became a little nervous, feeling like she was about to lose her balance.
She quickly yelled, "Slow down."
Xiao Nanchen seemed not to hear clearly, and leaned forward slightly to her ear: "What?"
Shen Ning turned around and was about to shout, but was shocked to find that her cheek seemed to have brushed against the corner of his lips... She froze again.
But the horse was going too fast. She didn't care about the awkwardness of the mistake and shouted at him, "Slow down, it's too fast."
Xiao Nanchen didn't know what he was thinking about, and his throat felt a little tight.
He cursed himself as worse than an animal, and not wanting to embarrass himself, he tried to divert attention and said jokingly, "As you say, Mr. Xiang."
Shen Ning was amused.
Seeing that Xiao Nanchen was still in the mood to joke, and probably didn't notice the awkwardness just now, the horse also slowed down. Shen Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief and laughed loudly: "Not bad, not bad, Hongxiang Jun will reward you handsomely..."
Xiao Nanchen looked at the person in front of him, whose delicate profile was filled with joy and unbridled care. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he whispered with a smile, "Thank you, Xiangjun."
