“I’ll watch both of you first. 1’11 take a look after this to see if there’s any suitable horse/’ Qiao You’an said with a smile as she stood on the sidelines, looking at her two sons who were sitting with their respective equestrian coaches on the horses’ backs.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiaowan was no longer nervous after riding a few laps. All that was left was happiness. When she saw the two children, she was even happier, wanting to see who could ride faster. After coming to an agreement with the others, she patted Huo Zheng’s arm and whispered to him, “Don’t go too fast. Be a little slower than them.”
After all, the duo was still young.
“I know,” Huo Zheng said, squeezing her hand.
The two children were very excited. It was the first time they were doing this, after all. They felt like they had benefited from Lin Xiaowan this time. If Lin Xiaowan were not here, they knew their mother would not allow them to play like this.
Huo Dabao pointed in the direction of the lounge chairs and parasols, which were in the resting area, and said loudly, “Little Aunt, let’s start from there and make a huge circle back!”
At the same time, Huo Dabao drew a huge circle with his finger.
Lin Xiaowan nodded. “Alright. If you win, 1’11 give you a gift card!”
This was an ongoing game between Lin Xiaowan and the children. Although she usually listened to Huo Zheng, most of the time, she did as she pleased when it came to her daily entertainment. To try and get closer to the two children, she would give them gift cards in exchange for certain tasks.
For example, when Lin Xiaowan was too lazy to move, she would call the two children over to help her get something. In exchange, she would give them gift cards. The content of the gift cards was different. For example, they could use it to redeem a chance to eat spicy sticks or snacks that they could not usually eat.
Lin Xiaowan made these gift cards herself, and they could only redeem the cards from her. Sometimes, she would reuse the gift cards.
The gift cards were considered a relatively huge treat for the two children. Apart from special occasions, Lin Xiaowan rarely gave them gift cards. As such, they were naturally very interested in obtaining the gift cards and the rewards they carried.
After Lin Xiaowan finished speaking, Huo Dabao said spiritedly and valiantly in his childish voice, “Okay! My brother and I definitely won’t lose!”
Lin Xiaowan smiled wickedly and said, “If 1 win, i’ll use the gift cards myself!”
After that, she acted like a villain and laughed sinisterly a few times.
Huo Dabao urged his equestrian coach, “We mustn’t lose!”
With that, the two children took off first.
Lin Xiaowan patted Huo Zheng and said, “Let’s go after them!”
Huo Zheng rode to the starting point that Huo Dabao had chosen earlier. However, before he even reached the starting point, he took the lead and galloped away first. As he passed by the two children, he said to them in a deep voice, “The competition starts now.”
Huo Zheng did not stop at all as he spoke.
Upon seeing this, Huo Dabao shouted indignantly, “Uncle, how can you be so shameless?! We haven’t reached the starting point yet! ”
Huo Erbao said anxiously to his equestrian coach, “Hurry up and chase after them! We have to overtake them!”
The equestrian coach also felt very helpless. He could only clamp the horse’s sides with his legs to increase the speed slightly. Alas, the speed was really lacking compared to Huo Zheng’s speed.
Huo Erbao was so anxious that he tried to get up, frightening the coach.
The equestrian coach reprimanded Huo Erbao lightly and told him to sit properly.
“Hurry up and chase after them! Look, they’ve run so far away! We have to surpass them!”
The equestrian coach really wanted to curse at Huo Zheng. The elders of other families would be worried about their children in this situation, but Huo Zheng did not seem worried about the children at all.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiaowan saw Huo Dabao s angry expression from afar. She slapped Huo Zheng’s arm and said angrily, “Have you forgotten what you promised me earlier?”
Huo Zheng raised an eyebrow and asked nonchalantly, “What did 1 promise you earlier?1‘
“You promised…” Lin Xiaowan said before she suddenly trailed off. It seemed like she had suggested going a little slower, and Huo Zheng only expressed that he understood; he did not explicitly promise he would do so.
Lin Xiaowan pretended to bite him before she said, “You’re really unreasonable!”
Huo Zheng did not care at all. He only chuckled and said happily, “Next time, when we have the time, we ll ride on the grassland. You’ll like it even more…”
In Huo Zheng’s opinion, this place was still too small.
Unsurprisingly, Lin Xiaowan won in the end,
Huo Dabao and Huo Erbao were rightfully indignant and wanted to argue with Huo Zheng, saying that they should race again fair and square.
Lin Xiaowan felt that the suggestion was acceptable, but Huo Zheng did not want to entertain them at all. He helped Lin Xiaowan off the horse as he said, “I’m tired now.”
Although Huo Zheng said he was tired, his expression and his actions did not show it at ail. On the contrary, he seemed energetic, clearly in a good mood.
Lin Xiaowan did not feel anything when her adrenaline was surging earlier. However, the moment she got off the horse, her legs softened.
Huo Zheng quickly grabbed her, helping her to steady her footing.
After regaining her footing, Lin Xiaowan felt that her thighs and butt were hurting. Initially, she still planned to persuade Huo Zheng to race with the two children again, but with the pain, she immediately dismissed that idea.
To appease the two children, Lin Xiaowan waved her hand and said, “Your uncle broke the rules this time so it doesn’t count. I’ll still give each of you a gift card when we go back.”
Then, Lin Xiaowan added loudly, “Both of you should have won. Your uncle only won because he broke the rules!”
Although the two children, who were intelligent, could see through Lin Xiaowan’s intention, they were tempted by the gift cards so they did not say anything. Moreover, they agreed with Lin Xiaowan; if their uncle did not cheat, they would have won. With that, they accepted Lin Xiaowan’s words and obediently got off their horses.
As soon as the two children dismounted from their respective horses, they grimaced in pain.
“Ouch! My butt hurts!”
“My butt hurts too! Mom, 1 can’t walk!” Huo Erbao said with a pout.
In the end, when they left, Qiao You’an and the nanny each carried a child while Huo Zheng carried Lin Xiaowan..
