Chapter 716 Riding the Horse Like the Wind

Maybe the night breeze was too warm, maybe his voice was too gentle.

Xia Ling's heart was slightly moved by what he said, as if something soft was spreading quietly in her heart. She looked sideways at this man, who looked as handsome as ever, and his smiling eyes looked familiar and reliable. It's really strange. Why is she still attracted to him even though he has not been heard from for four years?

Is this love?

No……

It's fate.

Just like a moth to a flame, knowing the danger and knowing that he will be shattered to pieces, but he can't resist the illusory temptation, it is his destiny. She didn't know how long she could hold on. Perhaps, she would finally melt under his tenderness and face the wind and rain of the world with her hands.

However, that is all for the future.

At this moment, she was still afraid, afraid that this fate that was suddenly severed and suddenly returned would have any thrilling changes in the long years to come.

She pulled her hand away from his.

"Li Lei," her voice was very soft against the evening breeze, "We have a child, so let's maintain the superficial peace. He needs his parents. But don't think about going any further. Don't make me annoying. you."

The wind in the evening is a bit melancholy and cool.

Li Lei's palms were empty, and his heart was also empty. Is this the punishment God gave him? Four years of no news have led to the current difficult pursuit, but he will not give up no matter what. She is his only true love in this life. He cannot imagine how he will spend the rest of his life without her.

He took a few quick steps to keep up with her.

When he came to the VIP fostering area, he summoned his Hanoverian horse Xiao Lei. The fur all over Xiao Lei's body was still as gorgeous and shiny as silk, and his eyes were introverted as he looked down at his master.

"Xiao Lei," Li Lei touched its nose, "take Xiao Ling for a ride."

The horse rubbed his hand affectionately, as if it understood the human words, and took two steps in Xia Ling's direction, choosing a position that was convenient for her to get on the horse. Xia Ling also imitated Li Lei and touched it, then turned to look at its owner: "You really want to lend me a ride? Let me agree first that I will not ride with you."

Li Lei smiled warmly: "You can ride it, I'll have plenty of chances to ride it."

Xia Ling looked at him suspiciously.

Li Lei urged: "Hurry up and get on the horse. Look, it's getting dark. If you don't ride, you won't be able to ride today."

Xia Ling looked at the sky. The clear blue sky was already faintly tinged with a ray of glow. She knew what Li Lei said made sense, so she stopped stalling and got on the horse. She is worthy of being a first-class rider for two lifetimes. Her posture when mounting the horse is neat and elegant, and she falls steadily on Xiao Lei, making a perfect fit for one person and one horse.

Li Lei shouted from the side.

She looked back and smiled proudly at him, her eyes sparkling with energy and indescribable charm.

Seeing this, Li Lei felt like there were countless feathers tickling him in his heart. He unconsciously took a few steps forward, trying to persuade her to ride together: "Xiao Ling..."

She saw through his thoughts at a glance and smiled again: "What a beautiful idea." She pinched the horse's belly with her legs, and the Hanoverian horse with extremely pure blood started to trot.

Facing the evening breeze, her mood was in high spirits.

However, he had only been flying for a few seconds when he suddenly felt a weight behind him and fell into a solid embrace.

She was frightened, her hands shook, and she almost let go of the horse's rein. The man behind him steadily stretched out his hand to hold hers, and whispered in her ear, "Be careful."

She recognized the man's voice and turned back in shame: "Li Lei! You..."

This time he smiled triumphantly, his eyes as bright as the sun in the sky. He lowered his head and gave her a shallow peck on her lips: "You get on my horse and you want to leave me alone? How is that possible?"

She was still very angry, "You gangster!"

"Uh-huh." He was proud and did not feel dissatisfied. He hugged her with one hand and controlled the reins with the other. "Don't you know that your man's riding skills are unparalleled in the world? It seems that we need to get to know each other better."

He emphasized the word "deepen", and his breath brushed against her ears, which was very ambiguous.

She blushed and her heart beat, but she was still very angry. She stared at him, but she didn't notice that the horse turned and her body suddenly lost its balance. She exclaimed and almost fell, but Li Lei easily held her waist, allowing her to nestle into his arms more safely.

"Don't move," he said, "I'll protect you."

These words were like a magic spell, making her feel eerily quiet in his arms.

The vigorous horses galloped on the Nanshan grassland, and the trees and gardens retreated like a fleeting glimpse.

This was the first time for Xia Ling to lie in the arms of a man and enjoy such a ride. She still remembered that in her previous life, Pei Ziheng didn't like any strenuous exercise except fighting. Almost every time he rode a horse, she was the only one. Even if they happened to ride together a few times, they would just walk slowly and take in the scenery.

But this time, it was different from Li Lei.

He loves to play as much as she does. He rides a horse very fast, with the sound of wind whistling in his ears, as if he has the whole world under his control. For the first time, she saw the speeding world with a new eye. Beyond his arms were the mountains, the vast waters, the falling clouds, and the flying eagles. But leaning in his arms, she felt so stable and peaceful, just like...

An eternity.

And she is in this eternity, waiting for a small world.

Unknowingly, she forgot about her anger, as well as the anxiety and uneasiness about the future. Her body gradually relaxed, she adjusted herself into a comfortable position, and pressed her cheek against his chest.

Li Lei took her galloping for a long time, circling all over the mountains and fields before returning to the starting point.

He slowed down his horse, lowered his head and kissed the tip of her hair, his voice a little hoarse: "Are you tired?"

She shook her head, listening to his strong heartbeat and feeling the slight smell of sweat on his body. The coat of the Hanoverian horse beneath him was smooth and spread like black satin, carrying the weight of their bodies as if they were carrying a small world.

He lowered his head and kissed her gently again.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, lazily unwilling to resist.

In the grove in early autumn, there are colorful fallen flowers.

Slowly walking through this dreamlike fallen forest, she seemed to have forgotten the vow she made not long ago: "Don't even think about going any further." ] Sometimes, this is indeed fate. No matter how hard you struggle to resist, it will always bring people back to the track of fate, no matter what way.

Li Lei saw that she was a little lazy, so he controlled Xiao Lei to walk slowly in the forest. After walking for a long time, he came to a small wooden house. The signboard of "Qingye Ice Cream" was clearly visible.

"Would you like some ice cream?" he asked her.

She nodded. So, he drove Xiao Lei over, got off the horse, and then carefully helped her down. "You sit here and wait while I go inside to buy some." He swept away a fallen leaf with his coat and spread it on a tree-stump-shaped seat for her to sit on.
