Chapter 1044: You’ve Just Provoked Me

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shen Li coughed lightly and sat up straight.

When she met Lu Huaiyu’s gaze, she softly defended herself.

“… Isn’t what I said the truth?”

Lu Huaiyu looked at the young girl’s indignant and strong appearance and could not help but laugh.

She was probably the only one who could say bad things in front of others and still be so overbearing.

“Miss Shen, do you need me to remind you that you seem to have provoked me quite a number of times?”

When had he ever not let her get away with it?

Shen Li shook her head.

“I don’t remember.”

The tip of Lu Huaiyu’s tongue pressed against his upper palate, and he could not help but laugh.

She refused to admit it.

Fine.

His wrist moved slightly, and Qingfeng obediently stood still.

Then, he took a long stride forward and stood beside Qingfeng.

Shen Li turned her head to look at him but before she could say anything, Lu Huaiyu had already jumped onto the horse!

Then, his hand went past her waist and pulled the reins.

Almost instantly, Shen Li felt her back pressing against a firm and warm chest.

The cool cedar scent on the man’s body instantly enveloped her.

Shen Li had not expected him to suddenly act like this. She widened her eyes in surprise and turned to look at him.

“Lu Huaiyu?”

Lu Huaiyu looked down at her as he held her in his arms. Her fair and pretty face was filled with surprise, as they were in very close proximity.

They were so close that when she turned around, she could hear the faint sound of their clothes as they rubbed against each other.

They were so close that they could smell each other’s breath. All he had to do was lower his head–

His gaze lingered on her plump and soft lips for a moment.

He did not say anything, but this momentary gaze was enough for Shen Li to understand.

Her face suddenly became hot.

It was not that they had never been in closer proximity. It was just that… This had never happened before.

Many people around looked over. Even the horse trainer tactfully stayed where he was and watched from afar.

She lowered her voice.

“What are you doing up here? Qingfeng never lets anyone–”

Before she could finish, Qingfeng suddenly sneezed and his ears twitched.

The corner of Lu Huaiyu’s lips curled up slightly.

Shen Li went silent.

In the current situation, these words did not seem to be very convincing.

Qingfeng was usually very stubborn and proud. Sometimes, he was so aggressive that several horse trainers would be required to work together before he could be subdued.

However, when it came to Lu Huaiyu, whatever temper or previous personality it had completely disappeared.

It was extremely obedient.

Lu Huaiyu spoke lazily.

“I’m sorry, Miss Shen. You provoked me just now.”

Shen Li was speechless.

She lowered her head slightly, squeezed the horse’s belly between her legs, and whispered to Qing Feng, “Good-for-nothing.”

At a critical moment, it had defected faster than anyone else, so it really could not be counted on at all.

Lu Huaiyu watched her with great interest. When he heard this, he bent his head. closer and whispered in her ear.

“It’s rare for Qingfeng to be so sensible. Miss Shen, don’t you think so?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the little girl’s fair and tender earlobes turned red at a visible speed.

The warm breath fell on her, making her subconsciously shrink back.

However, she was already in his arms. With this action, she immediately became even closer to him and was almost completely curled up in his arms.

Lu Huaiyu’s chest trembled as if he was smiling. His deep and pleasant voice fell into her ears.

“Why are you blushing?”

This time, the little girl’s slender and fair neck was also colored with a hint of a rose color.

Shen Li deeply felt that she was even more useless this way and was at a complete disadvantage so she acted as if she was about to move out of his arms.

However, just as she sat up straighter and leaned forward, a strong and irresistible force suddenly came from her waist, pulling her back and tightening its grip.

Lu Huaiyu held the reins with one hand as his other arm was wrapped around her slender and soft waist.

Shen Li did not want to be so close to him. She was determined to escape, so she started to struggle in his arms.

However, after moving just twice, Lu Huaiyu exerted force again and held her down, not allowing her to move.

Her back was pressed almost completely against his chest, and her thin clothes could not protect her from the scorching heat.

“Don’t move.”

He lowered his voice with a hint of warning.

Shen Li instantly stopped, and the hot air seemed to become more intense.

All she could do was continue to sit quietly as she blushed furiously.

Lu Huaiyu wrapped her up in his arms. When the little girl was obedient, she was always particularly sweet and soft.

The corners of his lips curved slightly, and only then did he urge Qingfeng forward.

Just like that, Qingfeng slowly strolled around the racecourse.

…

The two horse tamers gathered together and sighed softly when they saw this scene.

“I thought that only Miss Ah Li could control Qingfeng’s temper. I didn’t expect that he would be so obedient in front of Second Master Lu.”

“Second Master Lu’s horsemanship skills are very good… Moreover, Qingfeng understands human nature. He probably knows who to provoke and who not to provoke.”

“In the past, when Second Master Lu came, Qingfeng never threw a tantrum with him.”

“Tsk, not to mention Qingfeng, I think Miss Li also behaves differently when she is with Second Master Lu as compared to others. A few days ago, when she came, she always wanted Qingfeng to run a few laps. Now that Second Master Lu is here today, he said that he just wanted to take a stroll, and Miss Li just let him be…”

…

In front of the stable, a group of people was about to walk in when the person in the middle suddenly stood still and looked in the direction of the racecourse.

When he stopped, the people around him also stopped.

The assistant followed Shi Yang’s line of sight and saw two familiar figures riding together on the horse race track, creating a scene of their own.

That seemed to be…

“Isn’t that Second Master Lu and Miss Shen?”

The assistant looked and could not help but sigh.

“It looks like these two have a pretty good relationship.”

Of these two people, one was noble and aloof, while the other was elegant and aloof. They looked like a perfect match.

Shi Yang smiled faintly.

“Yes.”

He watched for a while before suddenly asking,

“That blue horse, is it the one that Old Master Gu gave her back then?”

The horse trainer who was responsible for receiving him immediately nodded.

“Yes, that’s Qingfeng. At the same time, it was also the champion horse of last year’s horse race.”

This matter had spread very widely at that time. Many people knew that Shen Li was especially liked by the Gu family because she looked like the fourth miss gu. Old Master Gu had even given her a blue horse before the race.

Later, everyone had found out that Shen Li was actually the daughter of the fourth Miss Gu.

Thus, the matter of Old Master Gu giving her a horse was even more talked about.

Back then, when Old Master Gu and the others had not known her identity, they had already given her such a big gift the very first time they saw her.

In particular, the fourth miss gu had also liked to ride horses. This Dutian Racecourse had also been built for her in the beginning.

It had to be said that sometimes fate was really predestined.

Shi Yang nodded and finally looked away.

“Let’s go inside and take a look.”

The horse trainer nodded and led him into the stables.

…

Shen Li unintentionally glanced at him and her gaze suddenly froze.

Lu Huaiyu noticed her reaction and followed her gaze and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Shen Li raised her chin.

“I think I saw Shi Yang just now.”
