Chapter 23 (2/2)

The moon was already visible through the window, as Feng Ning looked at it, she thought about how downstairs, Long San already had a family and a business, and he had friends everywhere. As for her, she doesn’t have anything. Something must have been wrong with her head today, she asked if Long San lacked women, she had been thinking if he didn’t have anyone in his heart, maybe she could have tried a bit, since they were officially married anyways, and she wasn’t like how she used to be, they could start over, and try to get along with each other. If they could get along, everyone could be happy, and she’ll just stay with him, isn’t that fine?

But she was too embarra.s.sed to ask him directly, so she became hotheaded and thought up such a silly question. Long San doesn’t think highly of her, and his friends don’t think highly of her, she’s just a bottomless pit, she doesn’t know how to do anything but eat.

The more Feng Ning thought about it, the sadder she got, looking at the moon made her feel even sadder, and her face was cold, when she touched it, she was actually crying.

She suddenly jumped up, and put on her clothes and combed her hair really fast. She’s already given the container to Long San, if she’s made mistakes before in the past, hasn’t she made up for it all with that? They intend to bring her back to her mom’s house anyways, even though she doesn’t want to leave, she doesn’t want to be hated by everyone either, and stay at a place where n.o.body likes her, that’s scarier than even a nightmare. Her hands and feet work fine, and she even knows martial arts, she should be able to take care of herself.

Feng Ning was just about to open her room’s door, but she thought about it some more and returned to the window, and jumped out the window onto the rooftop. She leaped elegantly from rooftop to rooftop.

See, she’s free as could be, she can go anywhere she wants, and do whatever she wants, why would she want to stay there where n.o.body likes her. The world is so big, surely there will be someplace that welcomes her.

She already ran quite a distance in a short time, when she suddenly thought, she can’t be this stupid, there’s a horse that she can ride, why does she have to exhaust herself running? After considering this, she immediately ran back towards the direction of the tavern. Not only is she going to ride a horse, she’s also going to steal Long San’s horse, just to make him angry. That’s right, she should also go to the kitchen and steal some sweets to take with her, to prevent herself from getting hungry tomorrow morning.

She really did put as many sweets into a big bag as she could, to the point where her waist was bulging with food, then she sneaked into the back garden, made sure that n.o.body was around, then hastily ran towards the stables.

The horse shook its head and whinnied twice, Feng Ning rubbed its neck and said to it gently: “good boy, don’t be too loud, I’m taking you with me, and I definitely won’t make you starve or overwork you.”

“I don’t think I’ve starved or overworked it.” A gentle man’s voice spoke up, and Feng Ning froze up. When she turned around to look, Long San was standing in the garden looking at her with a helpless look on his face.

Feng Ning bit her lips, turned around and ignored him, she just kept rubbing the horse’s neck, and was at a loss for what to do. After a while, a large hand reached over, and started rubbing the horse as well, it turned out that Long San was now standing beside her.

“I’m sorry.” Just as Feng Ning was thinking about what to say, Long San spoke up first: “I apologize to you.”

Feng Ning turned around to look at him in shock, and Long San said: “I wasn’t trying to make fun of you on purpose, I was just joking around, but it made you feel bad, I’m sorry.” His eyes seemed so gentle and so honest, Feng Ning could feel her heart instantly melting.

“I, I didn’t feel down or anything at all, I was too lazy to pay attention to you.” Feng Ning still wanted face, so her mouth still said those sorts of things.

Long San didn’t want to laugh at this point in time, but the way Feng Ning was pouting with her lips puckered made him couldn’t resist but smile faintly: “mmm, so you weren’t feeling down, but I’m still very sorry.” He agreed with whatever she said.

Feng Ning stared at him, and was very unsatisfied: “you’re not being sincere, you’re apologizing while smiling.”

Her att.i.tude and expression made Long San unable to stand it anymore, and he cracked up. It smelled rather bad inside the stables, with horses and horse feed, but with Feng Ning there, even this place seemed lively.

The moonlight was reflecting off of Feng Ning’s face, her pitch-black eyes were moving around in a lively manner, and the way she was puckering her lips, pouting while seriously complaining, made Long San feel that she was so interesting and so…… cute.

His laughter caused Feng Ning to hit him with all her might, Long San grinned and beared it, and said: “now you’re not angry anymore, right?” Feng Ning hesitated and hesitated some more, and said: “then, I don’t want to stay here anymore.” She lost face in front of his friends, so she felt really bad inside.

Long San nodded: “alright.” He brought out the horse: “let’s go, and change locations.”

Feng Ning was shocked: “you’re going to leave without paying?” This didn’t seem like something Long San would do at all.

Long San sighed deeply, saying: “I’m not like a certain person, but when I noticed that a certain person was missing from her room, I knew it was time to pay the tavern and get going.”

Feng Ning giggled, as Long San took the horse out and put its saddle on, when he suddenly noticed Feng Ning’s waist, and became speechless. Feng Ning looked down to see where he was looking, thought about it a bit, and took out the big bag: “how about you help me return all of this?”

Long San pretended not to hear her, and hurriedly got on the horse and began leaving, and Feng Ning immediately got on the other horse and chased after him: “it’s fine even if we don’t return it, this way we’ll already have breakfast for tomorrow morning.”

Long San was deaf and mute, and he concentrated only on riding his horse. After a while, Feng Ning suddenly mentioned: “Long San, leaving like this, won’t your friends be mad?”

“They won’t, I told them that something came up and I had to leave. They’re all old friends that I get along pretty well with, it won’t be a problem.”

“Long San, you have so many friends, yet I don’t have any.” Her tone of voice was rather plaintive.

“You have me.”

“Mmmm.” Feng Ning nodded, and finally felt a bit relieved.

After a while again, Feng Ning spoke up again: “Long San, you seem pretty popular with women, I can see that you must know quite a few girls, do any of them have any interest in you?”

Long San suddenly turned deaf and mute again, he concentrated seriously on the road, and suddenly sped up on his horse, Feng Ning whined to herself as she followed him closely, saying to herself: “asking like this doesn’t work either?”
