If he had known earlier, he would not have let Zhu An’an say this. Her words would definitely attract gossip.
Just as he thought, Zhu Asi’s eyes were bright. He quickly said to Zhu An’an, “What makes you say this?”
Zhu An’an said mysteriously, “My womanly intuition.”
“Womanly intuition?” Zhu Asi became even more curious. “That can’t be right. There should be something else that points to it. Tell me!”
Zhu An’an was annoyed by Zhu Asi and quickly said, “When the coachman brings the horse over, take a closer look. Ms. Long’s gaze will definitely be on Mister. Isn’t that evidence enough?”
“I didn’t even pay attention to her eyes. Zhu An’an, you’re really sharp.”
Zhu Asi immediately understood why Zhu An’an noticed this. Then, he became enthusiastic again. “I’ll keep an eye on Ms. Long.”
Jiang Ming felt helpless when he saw those two. They werepletely ignoring him as well.
How was this possible?
Long Qingqing was the youngdy of the Long family. She wanted to be pampered; so, why did still like him? He did not think he could treat Long Qingqing better than the Long family.
As he was thinking, Long Qingqing walked over with four horses. Two of the four horses happened to be the real ones that the beggar had replicated when he was trying to fool them.
“Are these two real? I hope they don’t turn into ash again.”
Zhu Asi grinned. He did not want to fall down as he was riding the horse.
Long Qingqingforted Zhu Asi. “Don’t worry. I checked it with my illusion technique and found that it was a real horse. Otherwise, it would have revealed its true form long ago.”
“You know how to conjure illusions?” Zhu Asi was stunned for a moment. “There are so many rumors saying that the eldest daughter of the Long family is ignorant and ipetent. They said you were raised by the Long family to be a pretty face. I didn’t expect this rumor to be false.”
“Why would you believe those rumors?” Long Qingqing shook her head helplessly. “My father would smack me if I were useless. As a member of the Long family, how can I not have any skills?”
“You’re quite smart.”
Zhu Asi looked at Long Qingqing thoughtfully.
“It’s nothing.” Long Qingqing looked at Jiang Ming and said seriously, “Lord Ning Caichen, let’s go riding. We can’t let this ruin our fun.”
At this point, she turned to look at Zhu Asi and Zhu An’an. “Do you want to ride alone or with us?”
Long Qingqing obviously wanted to ride alone with Jiang Ming.
She heavily implied she wanted to separate the two teams.
Zhu Asi did not say anything. He had been watching Long Qingqing’s eyes when she looked at Jiang Ming, and he suddenly noticed the admiration that Zhu An’an had mentioned.
He looked at Jiang Ming with a faint smile and waggled his eyebrows.
Jiang Ming felt a little helpless.
Why was Zhu Asi so interested in this?
Seeing that Zhu Asi and Zhu An’an did not answer her, Long Qingqing asked again.
Zhu Asi came to his senses and said mysteriously, “We’re fine with either. It’s all up to you, Ms. Long. We’ll listen to you.”
Long Qingqing was stunned. She lowered her head and hesitated.
She did not want everyone to see her feelings for Lord Ning Caichen, but she also wanted to dere that he was hers!
Secondly, this was a good opportunity for her to be alone with Lord Ning Caichen.
If she missed this opportunity, she might not have another chance like this in the future. However, if she said it so tantly, Lord Ning Caichen might not like it.
Zhu An’an understood Long Qingqing’s dilemma and said, “Let’s go our separate ways. I have something to tell Zhu Asi.”
As a woman, she understood what Long Qingqing wanted, so she helped Long Qingqing this time.
Long Qingqing looked at Zhu An’an with gratitude. She suddenly regretted what she had done.
She originally thought that Zhu An’an was her enemy, but now she realized that Zhu An’an was her ally. She should not have looked at Zhu An’an with such petty eyes!
Thinking of this, Long Qingqing’s eyes were on Zhu An’an’s body.
Zhu An’an felt ufortable being stared at and smiled at her awkwardly. She was instantly moved by Long Qingqing’s innocence.
She had only done a small thing to help her, and Long Qingqing was already so grateful to her.
If she met some evil peopleter, she would be easily deceived.
Zhu Asi patted Zhu An’an’s shoulder. “Then let’s let Ning Caichen and Ms. Long go first. We’ll go next.”
“I don’t have any objections,” Zhu An’an said.
She came here to ride a horse, so it did not matter who she went with.
However, Jiang Ming rejected her outright. “It’s better for the four of us to ride together. We’ll have more fun.”
“Mister?”
Zhu An’an looked at Long Qingqing in disbelief.
Long Qingqing was instantly disappointed.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was unhappy.
Zhu Asi did not understand.
Long Qingqing was a pretty girl. Was it really okay to give up like this?
Moreover, she was the only daughter of the Long family. When the time came, the entire family business of the Long family would be hers.
Long Qingqing was willing to give everything to Ning Caichen, but Ning Caichen was not tempted at all.
Jiang Ming’s n was extremely good.
He did not give Long Qingqing any hope.
If Long Qingqing confessed to him, he would reject her outright. He would never be with her.
Long Qingqing quicklyposed herself and smiled brightly. “Then let’s go together. Lord Ning Caichen is right. I also think riding with more people will be more fun. I didn’t think about that earlier.”
Her excuses were weak. Zhu An’an saw through Long Qingqing’s thoughts, but she did not say anything else.
No matter what, she was still biased toward Jiang Ming. If Jiang Ming did not want to do something, then she would not force him.
Zhu Asi’s thoughts were simr to Zhu An’an’s.
He was also biased toward Jiang Ming.
The four of them mounted their horses and went to the grasnds together.
It was already noon, and the sun was scorching hot. The sunlight shone on the four of them, making them feel warm.
Zhu An’an wasn’t skilled enough in riding a horse, so she fell to the ground from time to time. Fortunately, Zhu Asi was beside her and taught her.
However, Zhu Asi was extremely sharp-tongued. He kept saying, “Brat, why did you want to ride a horse so badly if you don’t know how to? If Ning Caichen and I weren’t here, wouldn’t you have been seriously injured? Don’t go horse riding next time. You’re not cut out for it.”
Zhu Anan grinned. “I can improve! Don’t lose faith in me!”
However, after experiencing more than ten falls, Zhu An’an regretted what she had said. If she had known earlier, she would not havee to ride a horse.
