Chapter 92

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Yu Linglong immediately stopped. They had to get married because they rode a horse together? What were the ancients thinking!

Yu Linglong sighed internally. She turned to face Gan Lin and said word by word: “Gan Lin, I saved you. This was a mistake. I don’t need you to repay you, let alone be your responsibility. I hope you will not bother me.”

Yu Linglong rarely explained to others so patiently, but every time she saw Gan Lin’s big eyes with a little childishness, she felt that he was like an innocent big boy, and she was unwilling to scold or hit him.

Gan Lin was only thirteen years old, and she was still a child in modern times. It was really hard for her to imagine how the ancients thought of getting married when they were thirteen or fourteen. It was a misunderstanding.

Gan Lin completely misunderstood what she meant, and said anxiously: “Qianjiao, don’t worry. I told my parents we can make an appointment first and get married later!”

Seeing that the boy in front of her looked like a small adult, Yu Linglong really didn’t know how to explain it, so she stopped talking and went straight to Ling’er.

Anyway, the object of his proposal was Yu Qianjiao, but not her, so that explained it.

She didn’t speak, but Gan Lin kept haunting her. Seeing her footsteps flying, he subconsciously wanted to hold her: “Wait for me—”

As soon as the hand was stretched out in the air, a big hand came back, and then a clear but slightly indifferent voice rang out: “This is my woman. Gan’s son shouldn’t bother with her.”

Gan Lin raised his head and was stunned for a moment when he looked at the man who was nearly a head taller than him.

“His Royal Highness Lord Xu?”

The tall figure completely blocked Gan Lin’s sight of Yu Linglong. Lord Xu lowered his head slightly and looked at Gan Lin’s bewildered look. Although his face was smiling, his eyes were politely distant.

“I am going to take her to set the river lanterns, please stay with Master Gan.”

Turning to Yu Linglong, Lord Xu’s eyes rose somewhat warmly: “Have you been waiting for a long time?”

As if it were a demonstration, Lord Xu stretched out and took Yu Linglong’s little hand, wrapping her hand completely in his palm, and his smile was as bright as the sun in the dark night.

“Sorry, I’m late.”

Yu Linglong clearly knew that he was acting, but because of the dark, she couldn’t get her hand out. She tried her best to suppress the anger that was soaring in her heart, and her clenched fingers secretly used force to embed her nails deeply into Lord Xu’s palm.

If it doesn’t hurt, then just hold it!

As if he didn’t feel the sharp tingling from the palm of his hand, Lord Xu’s smile did not change, and he nodded to Gan Lin in an alienated manner, and then pulled Yu Linglong away.

Gan Lin looked at this scene, completely stunned.

Everyone in the capital knew that the girl Lord Xu likes is the Fourth Lady of the Yu family, but how can he be with the Sixth Lady Yu Qianjiao now?

Gan Lin watched the departure of Lord Xu and Yu Linglong, and a layer of wounded pain gradually appeared in his clear, big eyes.

The young man on the side comforted and said in a low voice: “Master, don’t worry, didn’t the lady say it? General Yu has already agreed to your marriage with Miss Yu. If you are not at ease, please go back and beg Lady Yu to let you marry her.”

Gan Lin stood there blankly, not knowing what to say for a while.

Will you get her heart when you marry her and enter the door?

…

Yu Linglong was dragged along by Lord Xu and walked straight to a dimly lit place. Finally, Yu Linglong couldn’t help throwing away Lord Xu’s hand.

“What do you want to do!?” She struggled to keep her voice down, with uncontrollable anger bursting out, almost igniting the night.

With bright eyes, Lord Xu looked straight into Yu Linglong’s eyes. Under the dim light, there was a complex expression on his face, and she couldn’t tell whether he was joking or being serious.

“Nothing, just don’t like watching him pull you.”

Yu Linglong took a deep breath, trying to let the coolness of the night breeze calm the impatience in her chest, and said in a deep voice, “Who is pulling me, what does it have to do with you? Your Royal Highness, you should take care of your own affairs. You’re asking for trouble!”

The threat in the words was very obvious. Lord Xu was slightly startled, but suddenly he stretched out his big hands and took Yu Linglong in his arms.

“You—” Yu Linglong was furious, and immediately wanted to push him away. Unexpectedly, the next moment, Lord Xu had already bowed his head and seemed to want to kiss her.

Yu Linglong subconsciously tilted her head and avoided his sudden attack. His gentle lips ran across her soft cheeks, as if an electric current pa.s.sed by, causing her to become stiff.

The deep voice of Lord Xu rang in her ears, like a poppy in the dark night, full of temptation and danger.

“I promise you that I will explain to you sooner or later, but not now.”

The powder fist clenched tightly and hit Lord Xu’s chest mercilessly, but with a fierce force, he endured it silently. Unconsciously, Lord Xu let go of her arm.

There was a consistent smile on his face, and he looked at her with affection: “Come, I will take you to a place.”

Before Yu Linglong could answer, he took her to the crowded street.

Yu Linglong snorted coldly: “Let go!”

Why did he make her come, where was she going? What was she to him?

Yu Linglong had never allowed others to dominate her actions, not to mention that there were so many suspicious things in Lord Xu’s body that she really refused to let herself continue to go.

But no matter how much she tossed, Lord Xu didn’t seem to feel it. A pair of big iron-hoop-like hands held her tightly. It seemed that when she let go, she would grow wings and fly away.

Perceiving the suspicious glances cast by the crowd, Yu Linglong stopped her movements angrily. She was not stupid. She also knew that such intimate behavior between the two of them was no different from a fight between a young couple in the eyes of outsiders.

Maybe that two-faced Royal Highness Lord Xu was wis.h.i.+ng her to toss like this, otherwise, how can the whole city know about their relations.h.i.+p?

Yu Linglong ground her teeth with hatred, but she knew that no matter whether she used force or planned, she couldn’t get rid of the guy Lord Xu at this moment. He seemed to have gotten into her mind and will not let her go anyway, and the more she rebelled, the more proud he was.

Yu Linglong simply let go of her hand. Anyway, she was not the twitchy little girl in ancient times. She will die if she is pulled by a small hand and held a small waist. This guy liked to bother her for whoever loves to see it!

The brightly lit Chang’an Avenue was full of bustling crowds. Lord Xu and Yu Linglong were a good-looking couple, and their actions are so intimate with no one else. They have already attracted countless envious or surprised eyes.

At the end of the street, a silver-white horse was standing in the center of the street. Seeing Lord Xu walking out of the crowd, the small servant leading the horse hurriedly led the horse forward and bowed: “Master.”

Yu Linglong turned her face slightly. She felt that this horse was a bit familiar, and suddenly remembered, wasn’t this the Tianshan white horse that Lord Xu said at the beginning? No wonder it looked so domineering and outrageous.

Seeing Yu Linglong’s thoughtful appearance, Lord Xu smiled and said, “This horse is very fast. You didn’t ride it last time, this time you should try it.”

He took so much effort to bring her here just to ride a horse?

Yu Linglong snorted: “I can ride by myself—”

Before finis.h.i.+ng talking, Yu Linglong only felt her waist tight, and a huge force lifted her up from the ground, and she leaped into the sky directly onto the Tianshan white horse.

This hand was beautifully exposed, and the surrounding crowd couldn’t help but burst into applause.

Lord Xu held Yu Linglong in front of his chest with one hand and shook the horse’s rein with one hand. His voice was full of joy: “Giddyup!”

Yu Linglong furrowed her eyebrows. Does this kid like to show off and make such a big movement, for fear that others will not see them?

Perceiving the tightness of the person in his arms, Lord Xu triumphantly asked, “How is it, are you scared?”

Yu Linglong turned her head in disdain, and said coldly: “What’s this, this is a monkey’s trick!”

Lord Xu laughed, then leaned over her ears, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: “Everyone in the capital has seen it. This time you have no other way except to marry me.”

Yu Linglong said angrily: “Bah, who wants to marry you!?”

The thin hair brushed over Lord Xu’s cheeks, with a girl’s unique body fragrance. Lord Xu’s breathing seemed to stop, and his voice fell low, appearing full of magnetism in the dark: “Your reputation is ruined in my hands. Here, if you don’t marry me, do you have to cut your hair and be a nun?”

Yu Linglong was furious. It turned out he did it on purpose!

He deliberately praised her in the capital, deliberately let everyone know that she was the favorite person of Lord Xu, and deliberately let everyone know that she had an affair with Lord Xu, so that she couldn’t escape even if she wanted to run, and couldn’t refuse even if she wanted to refuse![Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

At this time in ancient times, once a woman’s reputation was ruined, it was a big deal. If she didn’t marry the person who ruined her reputation, she could only die or become a nun.

This guy was sure she didn’t dare to refuse, so did he resort to such a despicable trick!?

Yu Linglong couldn’t help but sneer: “Reputation? Reputation is nonsense!”

Did he see her as one of those beautiful ladies in ancient times, or a little girl who knew nothing about the world? This kid underestimated her too much!

Hearing her disdainful answer, Lord Xu was startled at first, and then laughed loudly: “Yes, reputation is nonsense, I underestimated you!”

The big hand that was holding her waist tightened, and pulled her closer to him again. Lord Xu’s voice spread extremely far in the night.

“Daring to love and hate is her true temperament, this is the woman I like!”

…

On the Dinghui River, the shops on the sh.o.r.e had already put down their door panels to close, but suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance. Everyone just looked up, but only saw a huge white shadow wind pa.s.sing by, blinking, and then it disappeared.

After running to a dark and remote riverbank, Lord Xu took the rein of the horse and pulled Yu Linglong off it.
