30 Worry Worm Chenyang (1/2)

Li Chenyang walked into the manor by going through the hidden back entrance that none of the servants knew about. It was meant to be an escape passage if there was ever an ambush on the manor.

Right now, when a war might brew between Wuyi and Hanjian, it was essential.

Li Chenyang made a mental note to inform Li Wenmin and Xueyue of this secret passage.

He picked up his pace and walked straight towards Xueyue's room. Without warning or announcement from the guards outside, he abruptly stormed into the room.

Startled by the intrusion, Xueyue turned from the vanity that she was seated in. One of her handmaidens was fixing her hair and placing silver hairpins into it.

The servants bowed at his entrance. ”Greetings to Second Young Master.”

He ignored them as his determined steps guided him towards Xueyue.

”What's wrong?” Xueyue asked upon noticing his stormy expression.

”We're going horseback riding,” he coldly told her as he began to take out the fancy hairpins in her hair.

Xueyue tilted her head in confusion. Horseback riding?

”But why?” she softly asked, watching him pull out the last hairpin. They had just returned from a run. Wasn't it lunchtime?

When he pulled out the last hairpin, he was momentarily surprised by the silky locks of black hair that cascaded down her back like a smooth waterfall. Messily, he held her hair up into a ponytail and cleared his throat. ”Better to wear your hair up.” He nodded to himself before cursing at himself. What the hell was he doing?

Li Chenyang beckoned a maidservant forward. ”Prepare her outfit for horseback riding.”

When he saw Xueyue begin to open her mouth, he pinched her cheeks.

”Ow!” she grumbled, rubbing it.

”Don't ask any questions, just follow my lead,” Li Chenyang scowled.

Xueyue saw the irritation in Li Chenyang's eyes and slowly nodded her head. She didn't want to push her boundaries.

She knew it was an emergency if Li Chenyang himself came to escort her out of the manor. So, she sat still and allowed her maidservant to pull her hair into a high ponytail. It didn't take long for her to get dressed into a well-fitted robe suitable for horseback riding.

”Did you fasten your saddles? What about the reins? Make sure the peddle is situated perfectly so that you can climb on with ease. Did you wear gloves? The leather is not good for your hands.” Li Chenyang nagged on and on when Xueyue climbed onto Heiyue.
