After breakfast, Nangong Yehen dragged her to the horse ranch. “Young Master Nangong, why did you bring me here?” Standing outside the stable, she looked at the vast green expanse before her, utterly puzzled. “To ride horses.” “Are you that bored?” Nangong Yehen raised an eyebrow at her. “Are you busy?” “Of course I am. I have to go to the company and then to the hospital to see Mu Yu.” Nangong Yehen curled his lips. “You don’t need to go to that company anymore.” Chu Lingzhi was startled. “Why?” “You don’t make much money treating those people. From now on, just stay by my side.” He’d make sure she earned more. Chu Lingzhi frowned, looking into his deep, ancient-pool-like eyes. “You already have Huo Luan by your side. Why do you need me?” Nangong Yehen tilted his head, glancing at Huo Luan. “He’s a man.” Chu Lingzhi smoothed the hair falling to her chest and smiled sweetly. “Young Master Nangong, just admit you like me.” Nangong Yehen smirked, suddenly pulling her into his arms. Bending down, he whispered low in her ear, “I like women.” Caught in his embrace again, the scent of him filled her nostrils. Chu Lingzhi’s heart inexplicably skipped a beat. The man’s rugged aura, tinged with a seductive allure, rushed toward her, making her cheeks flush. “There are plenty of women in this world,” Chu Lingzhi said, squirming uncomfortably. “True, there are many women in this world, but for now, I only want you.” “I’m so rough and not gentle at all.” Why would he want her? Just because she fell for him at first sight five years ago? Chu Lingzhi didn’t believe that at all. After spending so much time with him, she felt no fondness for him. How could she like him? “I’m only interested in women like you.” His long fingers lightly traced her delicate cheek. His tone carried a flirtatious tease, his smile utterly wicked. Chu Lingzhi’s heart pounded like thunder. When his fingers brushed her face, it felt like something gently struck her heart. Her cheeks flushed like a ripe peach, drawing the man’s gaze deeper. He lowered his head and fiercely sucked on her red lips. Chu Lingzhi’s eyes widened, her mind going blank. He was kissing her again— Would this man die if he didn’t seduce her like this? Her kisses were always so sweet. After a fierce kiss, he couldn’t bear to let her go. His full fingertips lightly traced her lips, making her tingle unbearably. “From now on, you’ll only be my woman, Nangong Yehen’s. You just need to stay by my side.” His voice turned husky. Chu Lingzhi glared at him in displeasure. What did he mean by “your woman for now”? As if she’d be some other man’s woman. “Let’s go riding.” Seeing her lips reddened from his kiss, he was in a good mood. “I don’t know how to ride.” Chu Lingzhi pouted, annoyed. Actually, she did know how to ride. She used to do it often, and after having Chu Junyu, she’d occasionally go for a ride. But she didn’t want to ride with Nangong Yehen. Nangong Yehen raised an eyebrow, his gaze darkening. He smirked. “I’ll teach you.” Nangong Yehen picked a sturdy black horse, while Huo Luan chose a large, deep-yellow one. But Chu Lingzhi’s eyes settled on a gentle-looking white horse. As she moved to untie its reins, Nangong Yehen teased, “Didn’t you say you can’t ride?” “I can learn!” Nangong Yehen smirked. “I don’t mind if you ride with me.” “I mind!”
