Hero Saves the Beauty
Li Yanhao's mind went blank in an instant. Seeing Xiao Yun's twitching smile as he tried to hold back laughter, he suddenly felt like just banging his head against something until he died!
This is bad, really bad. Falling off the horse right in front of Ali, and to make matters worse, being 'heroically rescued' by that damn 'broken sleeve'! Pah, I'm no beauty to be rescued!
So embarrassing, absolutely humiliating!
Li Yanhao glared at Xiao Yun and Xiao Zetian as if he wanted to devour them alive.
Xiao Zetian cleared his throat softly and whispered to Su Li, "Wife, look at the heir and our country bumpkin cousin, they're such a perfect match..."
Su Li clicked her tongue and stroked her chin. "Heroic rescue, huh? Oh dear, thank goodness for our country bumpkin, otherwise the heir would have taken a nasty fall."
Xiao Zetian nodded eagerly, his face innocent and harmless. "Wife, you're right."
Meanwhile, Xiao Yun's hand was still wrapped around Li Yanhao's waist. Li Yanhao's mouth twisted in anger as he whispered, "Damn you, Xiao Yun, let go of me!"
"Tsk tsk, the heir knows my name now? Did you go out of your way to find out?" Xiao Yun smiled sweetly at Li Yanhao's darkening face. The darker Yanhao's face got, the happier Xiao Yun seemed.
"Hmph!" Li Yanhao snorted, tacitly admitting it.
After personally witnessing the elite secret guards under Xiao Zetian's command, Li Yanhao took a special interest in the legendary heir of the Marquis Wei Yuan, and had someone inquire about him. It turned out that this country bumpkin was Xiao Yun, Xiao Zetian's most trusted aide.
Since he's the top aide, trying to poach him to our side was probably hopeless, but building a good relationship and having Xiao Yun teach his useless subordinates was doable!
When you need someone's help, you have to swallow your pride. Li Yanhao knew this well, so he decided to be nicer to the country bumpkin. Then he thought, this damn 'broken sleeve'... sigh, maybe I should sacrifice my looks? After all, I'm handsome and charming, the flower of Jinling!
Thinking this, Li Yanhao actually went ahead and did it.
He had his hands hanging down originally, but suddenly reached out and hooked his arm around Xiao Yun's neck, giving him a sly smile.
That smile scared Xiao Yun so much he almost sat down on the ground, suddenly remembering that the heir he just saved and was holding was a 'broken sleeve'!
"My goodness!" Xiao Yun exclaimed, quickly letting go and stepping back several paces.
"Ouch!" Li Yanhao lost his support, couldn't keep his balance, and plopped down on his butt, which felt like it was about to split into eight pieces.
"Why did you let go all of a sudden? You made me fall!" Li Yanhao rubbed his butt as he got up, thinking, this is terrible, I've fallen again and completely lost face in front of Ali, all because of that damn 'broken sleeve'.
While Li Yanhao and Xiao Yun were tangled up, Xiao Zetian saw Su Li looking at Li Yanhao's horse with envy and guessed she wanted to try riding.
"Wife, want to ride a horse?" Xiao Zetian glanced at Li Yanhao's horse, thinking it was a good horse but wasted on a spoiled noble like Li Yanhao.
"Yes!" Su Li nodded vigorously, drooling at the sight of the horse. In her previous life, she wanted to try horseback riding but never had the chance. Watching those handsome men and women galloping on TV must feel amazing!
Seeing her drooling, Xiao Zetian's eyes softened. He walked over to Li Yanhao's horse and reached for the reins.
Li Yanhao saw Xiao Zetian daring to touch his horse and shouted, "Hey, don't touch my horse! It's temperamental and only trusts me! If you get kicked, don't blame me for the embarrassment."
Xiao Zetian snorted, looked at Li Yanhao like he was an idiot, then grabbed the reins of the horse directly.
Sure enough, the horse was as fiery as Li Yanhao said. Seeing a stranger grab the reins, it immediately became restless, shaking its neck and stamping its hooves violently.
