Chapter 332: Noble and Inviolable
"Giddy up!" The small hand gripped the bridle tightly, Gan Tang raised her hand to give the pony’s butt a light pat, "Xiaofeng, hurry!"
These days, Gan Tang and the pony had been together from dawn to dusk, both human and horse gradually growing, their understanding of each other becoming ever higher.
At Gan Tang’s command, the horse immediately picked up speed.
Charlie and the bodyguards realized his intention, all of them cried out in alarm.
Although the fence was only a little over one meter tall, which wasn’t an insurmountable height for normal adult horses, for the not yet grown Gan Tang and the pony Xiaofeng, it was a significant challenge.
Amidst everyone’s exclamations, Xiaofeng had already charged up to the fence.
On the horse’s back, Gan Tang’s little mouth was tightly pursed, both hands gripping the bridle, she pulled upward forcefully.
The forelegs coiled, Xiaofeng’s hind legs suddenly tensed, and its body left the ground.
In everyone’s tense gaze, it carried Gan Tang, bit by bit off the ground, leaping into mid-air, forelegs clearing the fence, followed by the hind legs—it succeeded, not even brushing the tail fibers against the fence.
"Yay!" Turning her face, looking back at the fence behind, excitement colored Gan Tang’s little face, she clenched her small fists, bending down to hug Xiaofeng’s neck, "Well done, Xiaofeng, we did it!"
Standing straight once more, she pulled gently on the reins.
Xiaofeng immediately let loose its hooves, dashing towards the woods.
"Young master, slow down!"
Charlie breathed a sigh of relief and while reminding him, spurred his horse to give chase.
The pony galloped into the woods, Gan Tang looked around but didn’t see his horseball; all he could see in the distance was a figure among the trees.
Through layers of tree shadows, he couldn’t make out the other person’s face, but from a distance, he could see the figure was also on horseback, standing tall and straight, the sunlight casting dappled light and shadows on his black riding attire.
In his right hand, he casually held a horseball.
Gan Tang recognized it at first glance, it was his ball.
He rode over, circling a few trees, and came to a stop before the man.
Now, he could see the man’s face clearly.
The man sitting on the horseback was bigger than he had imagined, made even more imposing by the large, dark-hued steed he rode.
He had a head of golden-brown hair similar to Huangfu Jue’s. The color was even lighter, shining with Yaoyang’s golden brilliance under the sunlight.
Dark sunglasses obscured his eyes, below a straight nose, his sexy thin lips were pressed into a neat line, standing in the woods, he was like a deity—noble and inviolable.
"Good day, sir." Gan Tang, neither servile nor overbearing, began politely, his hand gesturing towards the horseball in the man’s hand, "That’s my ball, could I trouble you to return it to me?"
Earlier, while playing, he had accidentally hit it into mud, and the ball had gained a stain resembling the American Continent, which he clearly remembered.
The man clasped his fingers, gripping the horseball in his hand.
"How can you be sure that this is your ball?"
"Do you see that stain on the horseball?" Gan Tang slightly tilted his lips, revealing a smile that was both cute and proud, "I accidentally hit it into the water earlier, and it got a stain that looks like the American Continent. At the moment, your fingers are at the location of the Bahamas."
The American Continent?
The man looked down, his gaze sweeping over the stain on the horseball.
Indeed, it did look very much like it.
His gaze returned to Gan Tang’s face, the man’s tightly pressed lips had unconsciously softened somewhat.
