Chapter 66: Trifled With

This familiar man was too close, and he was using such a gentle, seductive, and ardent voice to tell her those words.

Chen Rong's eyes reddened.

She swallowed her tears, pursed her lips and impetuously cried: "Of course I don't want you to marry me!"

"Really?"

His warm breath gently blew over her pores and seeped into her body.

Chen Rong genuinely wanted to scream at him and rebuke his impudent teasing of a proper lady. Nonetheless, one look into his eyes was all that was needed for her tears to roll uncontrollably.

She promptly dropped her gaze, both of her hands pounding on his chest and pushing him away. Because she was putting in quite an effort, her entire face flushed red.

Ran Min slightly cocked his head, the corner of his mouth curving, as he amusedly looked at the girl who was refusing him with all her might. At last, he couldn't help himself from laughing out loud.

He suddenly sat up.

It was too sudden that Chen Rong, who was trying her best to push him away, couldn't have expected his action. As soon as he withdrew, she fell entirely forward into empty air and dropped off the carriage.

At that very moment, a pair of steely arms went around her, and just like that, Ran Min had picked her up and deposited her on his horse. He held her close, his face pressing against hers, as he gently admonished: "Why were you so careless? See, you would have fallen down had I not been agile. Wouldn't it have been unsightly for a beautiful girl like you to get her face dirtied?"

His countenance was as gentle and considerate as one could ask it to be.

Unknowingly, more than two hundred soldiers had burst out laughing.

As she was held on horseback, Chen Rong got so indignant that her entire being choked for words. She trembled for a moment, found her voice, and hurried to say: "Let me go, let go me at once..."

"You really want me to let go?"

"Isn't it obvious?!"

"Very well, I'll do as you say." Ran Min chuckled and let his hands go.

At the same time he let go, his right foot quietly gave the horse's girth a kick.

The red stallion let out a long neigh and reared on its hind legs.

Chen Rong had just been freed at this time and was still struggling to jump down to the ground. She lost her balance from the horse's sudden rearing and fell to the ground like a rolling mutt.

When Chen Rong began her journey, she was doubtlessly tidily dressed with proper garments and makeup; but now, a roll on the sandy ground had left her body as sooty as a monkey.

Caught off guard and with her face now to the ground, Chen Rong sat up and faced more than two hundred pairs of teasing eyes. Immediately, she also faced Ran Min's mischievous gaze from his position on horseback.

Shame and anger gushed into her heart. She drew her lips into a tight line, her watery eyes fiercely glaring at him. Her eyes increasingly reddened as she stared, and finally when she couldn't bear it any longer, she burst into tears. Following the first wail, she covered her face and hid behind her sleeves to sob.

Her suppressed grievance was rather difficult to watch.

Ran Min sighed and alighted from his horse. go to moc.824retsmah
