I BECAME THE STEPMOTHER OF MY EX-HUSBAND

 

Chapter 79 Part 1: Riding Together

 

^^

 

Lin Wei Xi was a complete novice in riding, Gu Hui Yan personally picked a docile little mare for her in the stable. Lin Wei Xi glanced at Gu Hui Yan's majestic horse Zhao Xue, and accepted her fate.

 

In fact, Gao Ran also did not know how to ride a horse, but was it Gu Hui Yan problem? He did not pick a horse for Gao Ran. The hunting ground had been cleared up, the lawn in this area was smooth and soft, and the idlers nearby had been cleared away, ensuring that no one would come to disturb Yan Wangfei's mood. Lin Wei Xi watched her little mare eagerly, Gu Hui Yan said helplessly: "You have no foundation at all, so don't rush to get on the horse. It's more important to protect yourself."

 

"There is Wangye." Lin Wei Xi said confidently. Gu Hui Yan looked at her for a long time, and finally couldn't help laughing.

 

Lin Wei Xi made a lot of sense, Gu Hui Yan was there, that was the best protection.

 

Gu Hui Yan told Lin Wei Xi the tricks of getting on the horse in detail. Lin Wei Xi memorized it one by one, nodded like chicken pecking at the rice. In the end, she just felt her eyes sway, Gu Hui Yan turned over and sat on the horse. His movements were confident and nimble, without unnecessary moves.

 

Lin Wei Xi marveled. She imagined the movement several times in her mind, and realized that she had fully understand it, so she pushed away the servant’s support, and stepped on the horse by herself. However, the body may not know what the brain knows. Lin Wei Xi had successfully imagine it, but when she stepped on the stirrup to get on the horse, her body swayed and no matter what, she couldn't turn her body over.

 

"Wangye..."

 

Gu Hui Yan got off from his horse and supported her behind him: "I'm here. Don't worry, I won't let you fall."

 

There were several maids supporting her, but Lin Wei Xi still felt that she was going to fall, but now Gu Hui Yan just said one thing, and Lin Wei Xi felt more at ease. Gu Hui Yan supported Lin Wei Xi's waist with one hand from behind, and the servants tactfully retreated, leaving space for these two people. The unrelated people were dispersed, the space was larger, so it was more conducive for Lin Wei Xi's movements. Lin Wei Xi completely forgot the trick Gu Hui Yan taught her just now. She hugged the horse’s neck and used her hands and feet together, and climbed onto the horse's back indecently.

 

This horse was really gentle, and even after tossed around by Lin Wei Xi, it still stayed in place. Lin Wei Xi used to think that a novice was particularly terrified when leaning on the horse. She thought that she must straighten her waist to mount the horse, absolutely could not scream, clenching her mane and refusing to let go. But when Lin Wei Xi really sat on the horse, she realized that there was a huge difference between imagination and reality. Her center of gravity suddenly rose, and her feet could not touch the ground. Lin Wei Xi, a person who was not afraid of heights, felt scared.

 

"Let go and straighten up your waist slowly."

 

Lin Wei Xi clenched her mane tightly, delicately and pitifully exclaimed: "No, I will fall."

 

"No, be good, let go." Gu Hui Yan coaxed her patiently, "Give me your hand, hold my hand, and slowly straighten up."

 

Lin Wei Xi tentatively released a hand, and Gu Hui Yan's warm and powerful palm immediately caught her. Half of Lin Wei Xi's weight was put on Gu Hui Yan's hands, but his arm was still very stable, and it didn't even shake. Such a powerful arm gave people a strong sense of security, Lin Wei Xi borrowed Gu Hui Yan's strength to slowly sit upright on her horse.

 

After adapting for a while, Lin Wei Xi got used to this height, and her expression became more and more like flying. Gu Hui Yan handed the reins to the servant who raised the horse, let the servant lead along the horse and take her to walk slowly, while riding on Zhao Xue, he followed her on the other side.

 

Lin Wei Xi was learning to ride a horse, Gao Ran and Gu Cheng Yao stood not far away watching. It was inappropriate for them to step forward to help, and to have fun by themselves even more so. They had to wait in place and watch Lin Wei Xi being supported by Yan Wang to mount the horse. After slowly walked a distance, she could pick up the horse herself.

 

Seeing that there was no one around, Gao Ran took the opportunity to whisper to Gu Cheng Yao: "Shizi, my father is impatient and straightforward. If he offended Shizi with improper words today, please don't take it seriously."

 

Gu Cheng Yao gave a low "um" and said, "It's alright, I talk to father-in-law properly. You go ride a horse."

 

Gao Ran said ’Oh’, she still wanted to say something, but seeing Gu Cheng Yao's calm and cold expression, in the end didn't say anything. She got on the horse under the guidance of the stables’ servant, her maids loudly cheering on her from behind. Gao Ran was the Shizi Consort, the stables’ people certainly couldn’t touch her, but Gao Ran's maid was also the inner house’s womenfolk, where they understands this kind of thing, it was impossible to compare with Yan Wang's professionalism. Gao Ran took a lot of effort and wanted to give up several times before sitting on the horse.

 

However, after this experience, Gao Ran showed little interest in riding, not to mention she didn’t have the mood of riding a horse slowly like Lin Wei Xi. She couldn't help but look up, sitting on the horse she had a wider sight. Gao Ran saw that Lin Wei Xi held the reins by herself, riding the horse to slowly walk, the groom was trotting behind, and Gu Hui Yan was always following her by the side.

 

Gao Ran let the servant to pull the horse a few steps. She was really uninterested in this kind of smelly and unattractive sport. She just walked two steps then let the maid half supported half carried her to dismount.

 

On the other side, Lin Wei Xi held the reins and slowly urge the horse to move forward. This feeling was very novel, and it gave Lin Wei Xi an unprecedented sense of accomplishment. This sense of accomplishment was far more enjoyable than writing a good calligraphy or make a fine embroidery. Lin Wei Xi rarely done such intense exercise. In fact, not only Lin Wei Xi, for the womenfolk walking two steps in the courtyard was all the amount of activity in a day.

 

A thin layer of sweat came out on Lin Wei Xi's back. After exercising, her cheeks were rosy, her eyes were bright, and she looked very energetic. Lin Wei Xi even controlled the horse to trot two steps forward. Lin Wei Xi was surprised and subconsciously turned around to share with others. When she turned around, she saw Gu Hui Yan not far away, looking at her with a smile.

 

When riding a horse, you should not go too close, otherwise it would interfere with both of the horses. In order not to disturb Lin Wei Xi, Gu Hui Yan had been moving around not far away, but always kept the distance in case unexpected accident happened, he could rush over immediately. Lin Wei Xi bumped into Gu Hui Yan's line of sight, and her mind suddenly thought, he had been looking at her like this for a long time?

 

Lin Wei Xi couldn't tell what kind of feeling in her heart. She turned her head around like she was frightened, her chest throbbing, and there was a sense of uncontrollable confusion in her heart. She became a little distracted, and for a moment didn't pay attention to the strength of her hands. The horse thought it was the master's instruction, and ran forward a few steps quickly.

 

Lin Wei Xi's center of gravity slammed back and she was startled, couldn't help but scream. Gu Hui Yan quickly caught up from behind and grabbed Lin Wei Xi's rein from the side.

 

"Don't be afraid, you have to trust your horse, it won't hurt you."

 

Lin Wei Xi lowered her head and gave an ‘um’. Gu Hui Yan turned around to look at her and asked, "What's wrong, you were fine just now. What did you think about?"

 

"I didn't think about anything." Lin Wei Xi didn't want to say, she felt that she had fallen into a very dangerous situation. In the deep inner courtyard, women who had their heart moved would inevitably become battered and bruised. Men always have a way out, but women don’t.
