“Aunt, you flatter me.” Li Qingxue smiled shyly. “It’s just that I like horse racing more and enjoy the process of riding. My skills are still far inferior to Prince Charlie.”
Although Li Qingxue’s skills were average in Prince Charlie’s eyes, that was because Xia Wanyuan was in front to compare. Among her peers, Li Qingxue was already very good. Prince Charlie’s attitude towards her was also very good. “Miss Sade, you’re too humble. Why don’t we do it together?”
“Okay, Prince Charlie.” Li Qingxue glanced at Xia Wanyuan. Equestrian competitions had always been a noble event. This little celebrity actually dared to come out and embarrass herself.
At that moment, Xia Yu and An Luo, who hated each other, arrived.
“What are you wearing? You’re so ugly.” An Luo glanced at Xia Wanyuan’s riding clothes and habitually had a poisonous tongue.
Xia Yu was different. He said sincerely, “Sister, you look good in anything.”
Her white riding clothes made Xia Wanyuan look slender and heroic.
Xia Wanyuan smiled at Xia Yu. An Luo was unhappy again. He glared at Xia Yu. Hmph, bootlicker!
All the nobles in Continent O knew about the Cape family. Now that she saw An Luo, Mrs. York smiled and welcomed him. “Hello, Young Master An Luo. Did you come to France alone? You didn’t come with your brother?”
An Luo did not even look at Madam York. He sat on a chair and sulked.
Lady York was not unhappy that An Luo had ignored her. After all, the young master of the Cape family was famous for having a strange temper. She only knew that An Luo was a guest invited by Prince Charlie and did not think that An Luo and Xia Wanyuan could be related.
“Come, let’s go.” Prince Charlie had been thinking about racing for a long time, and his hands were itching.
“Okay, Prince.” Li Qingxue smiled at Prince Charlie and walked beside him, leaving Xia Wanyuan behind.
Prince Charlie glanced to the side, but stopped and looked behind. “Mrs. Jun, together.”
When Xia Wanyuan walked to Prince Charlie’s side, Prince Charlie walked again.
According to the hierarchy of the Eagle Country’s royal family, Li Qingxue naturally could not walk side by side with Prince Charlie. This way, she would be left behind.
Li Qingxue looked at Xia Wanyuan’s back and felt furious.
Filled with resentment, Li Qingxue picked her horse and swore in her heart that she would do the best she could. She threw Xia Wanyuan to the back of her mind. “Come on, Miss Xia?”
Xia Wanyuan stroked the back of the horse’s ear to comfort it. Then, she leaped onto the horse’s back and looked at Prince Charlie. “Are you ready?”
“Of course.” Prince Charlie’s eyes lit up. “I haven’t seen Mrs. Jun ride a horse in a long time. I’m lucky this time.”
Seeing that Xia Wanyuan and Prince Charlie were talking to themselves and ignoring her, Li Qingxue bit her lower lip and turned her head to grab the reins beside her.
The three of them entered preparation mode. The staff checked the protection for them.
“I’ve never seen my sister race before. This thing looks so dangerous. Will something happen?” Xia Yu was a little worried about Xia Wanyuan.
An Luo, who was still sulking, glanced at Xia Yu. “Aren’t you a bootlicker? Why aren’t you bootlicking now?”
“…” Xia Yu did not want to argue with this brat who was not as tall as him. “You’re so childish.”
An Luo pursed his lips. “Don’t worry, anything can happen to anyone, but Xia Wanyuan will be fine.”
After all, one could tell from the way she got on the horse that she was an expert.
Xia Yu was about to ask An Luo how he knew that nothing would happen when the whistle blew. The race had already begun.
Li Qingxue began according to her usual actions. Unexpectedly, a gust of wind blew past her ear. When she looked up again, a patch of white had already floated far away, as if it was really riding the wind. It was a speed that she could not compare to.
There were already many spectators around the racetrack. Now that the competition had begun, everyone’s attention was attracted.
Then, everyone saw…
A woman in a white riding suit rode a black horse as if she was riding a black lightning. She crossed obstacles without stopping and climbed up the high wall with the reins without any acceleration.
The journey was smooth and natural, filled with a soaring beauty.
Most of the people who could eat at the Lakeside Villa were nobles who knew a little about horsemanship. Experts knew the ropes.
Everyone exclaimed, “Wow, which famous equestrian is practicing here??”
As Prince Charlie had expected, just as he arrived at the midpoint, Xia Wanyuan had already crossed the finish line and was waiting for them.
After a while, Prince Charlie finally arrived at the end. He looked at Xia Wanyuan with a glint in his eyes. “Madam Jun, your skills have improved again. You’re too amazing. Can you tell me why you can jump onto that high wall without accelerating?”
“There’s no need to speed up, but when you approach, you have to control the horse’s steps…” Xia Wanyuan could tell that Prince Charlie really liked horse racing, so she was very willing to explain to him. Prince Charlie listened to Xia Wanyuan impart her experience seriously.
Not long after, Li Qingxue arrived at the finish line on her horse. However, other than Madam York, no one else noticed her.
In the past, every time she reached the end, there would be countless flowers and applause. However, this time, everyone’s focus was on Xia Wanyuan, and no one noticed Li Qingxue.
Li Qingxue felt that the “Champion of Continent M’s Youth Equestrian Competition” seemed so ridiculous, as if it was mocking her for being overconfident.
“Aunt.” Li Qingxue’s aggrieved eyes were filled with tears. “Why does that Xia Wanyuan know how to ride a horse too?”
]”It must have been my nephew who taught her.” Madam York also felt that she had lost face. She had just praised Li Qingxue in front of Prince Charlie, but in the end, it ended up like this. “It’s all because Jun Shiling taught her well. I really can’t stand her smug look.”
Madam York did not know horsemanship. She could not tell how strong Xia Wanyuan was, but Li Qingxue could tell that this was not a level that she could reach just by Jun Shiling casually teaching her. She did not expect Xia Wanyuan to really have some skills.
“Forget it, let’s go back.” Lady York had always cared about her face. Now that such a scene happened, she felt embarrassed and turned to leave.
Li Qingxue glanced at Prince Charlie, who was surrounding Xia Wanyuan in admiration. She stomped her feet hatefully and left with Madam York.
“Wow! My sister is indeed the most amazing!” Xia Yu was simply stunned. He did not expect Xia Wanyuan to ride so well.
An Luo glanced at him. The bootlicker is online again.
Seeing that Prince Charlie was about to pester Xia Wanyuan non-stop, An Luo stood up and walked over. “Hey, you invited me to dinner, not him. You need to chat with me.”
Xia Wanyuan looked at the time. It was already past ten in the evening and it was time to go back. Hence, she looked at Prince Charlie. “Let’s stop here today. It’s very late.”
Prince Charlie wanted more, but it was indeed very late. He could only say reluctantly, “Okay, I’ll send you back to the hotel.”
“Does she need you to send her?” An Luo looked at Prince Charlie in disdain. “I will send her.”
“…” Prince Charlie took a deep breath and reminded himself that this brat was from the Cape family and could not be provoked. In the end, he forced a smile. “Then I’ll leave first. Goodbye.”
An Luo said that he wanted Xia Wanyuan to chat with him, but he was really quiet in the car. He only occasionally looked at Xia Wanyuan.
“Hey, is Chinese food delicious?” In the end, An Luo could not hold it in and found a topic.
“It’s delicious. You’ve never eaten it before?” Xia Wanyuan retracted her gaze from the scenery outside the window and looked at An Luo.
“Mm,” An Luo replied, then seemed very awkward. “There’s a new chef at my house who makes Chinese food. Come and try his food for me tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow? We’ll be returning to China on the plane tomorrow morning,” Xia Yu interrupted at the right time.
“…” An Luo looked at Xia Yu angrily. If not for Xia Wanyuan, I would have thrown this noisy person out of the car!
“That’s right. We’re leaving tomorrow.” Xia Wanyuan could tell that An Luo was awkwardly inviting her to eat. “Thank you for your invitation. Let’s eat together next time.”
“Who invited you? You really know how to flatter yourself.” Coincidentally, the car arrived at the entrance of the hotel. An Luo pointed outside the car. “Hurry up and get down. I’m annoyed to see you.”
Xia Wanyuan had been busy the entire day and was tired. She did not argue with this arrogant child and brought Xia Yu out of the car. However, after taking a step, Xia Wanyuan stopped and turned around.
“What?” An Luo looked at Xia Wanyuan unhappily. “Are you regretting it? You want to come to my house for dinner again. Hmph, do you think…”
Before he could finish speaking, Xia Wanyuan hooked her finger at him. “Sit closer.”
An Luo’s cheeks puffed up, and his blue eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. However, his body still moved closer to the door honestly. “What do…”
Before he could say ‘what do you want’, An Luo was stunned.
Because there was a warm hand on his head!
From the first time Xia Wanyuan saw An Luo, she had been very curious about how his soft golden curly hair felt. Now that she touched it, it was indeed soft and fluffy. It felt very good, like the kitten she had raised.
“Hey! What are you doing!” An Luo’s glass-like blue eyes widened, but his body did not move at all.
“I’ll be leaving tomorrow. Goodbye. Thank you for your help.” Xia Wanyuan retracted her hand, and her dimples appeared. She waved at An Luo before turning to leave.
It was only when Xia Wanyuan’s figure disappeared at the entrance of the hotel that An Luo reacted. “Who is she! How dare she touch my head!! Why is she so annoying!”
The butler silently glanced at An Luo. Young Master, if your face wasn’t so red and the corners of your lips weren’t so curled up, this sentence would sound more convincing.
