"Don't flatter yourself!" Zee angrily shoved her stuff over and huffed as she sat back down to eat again.
Abruptly, as if he had found a new delight, Ren Lord chewed the dried meat in his mouth while generally flirting, "Uncle will teach you a word, if you are like this now, it's called being tongue-tied."
"Mommy, we're not going." Little Ze, who was poked and prodded, even the food he was eating in his mouth didn't feel good anymore, and with a bitter face, he turned his head to protest with Su Qinglan.
Seeing him pounce into Su Qinglan's arms, Ren Lord slightly raised his eyebrows and deliberately said, "I thought how mature you were, but it turns out that you're just a little kid, moving into mommy's arms, isn't that too childish?"
But Zee didn't eat it up at all, just made a face in the rearview mirror, "You're just outright jealous, jealous that I can hug my mommy and you can't."
In this battle, Lord Ren lost miserably.
Su Qinglan just smiled shallowly from the side, and although the journey was a bit noisy, it was unparalleled and beautiful.
Come to think of it, it seemed like when he was with Gu Jinchi, he never had such a leisurely and cozy parent-child time.
Despite the bickering between Ze and Ren Lord, it was a sign of intimacy.
Since the environment was so relaxing, with the blue sky and white clouds outside as well as the gentle wind, it made her tense nerves relax and she leaned against the car to take a nap.
They had reached their destination by the time they wanted to come.
The entrance to the lodge was a snow-white fence and carved gates, standing on a hilltop proudly looking down on all the green light below, and she could even imagine that if she woke up early from a place like this, she might even be able to see the clouds over the mountains in the early morning hours, too.
She couldn't help but close her eyes and take a deep breath, the clear air rushing into her lungs was a treat.
The butler on the estate rushed out at the first opportunity to help them get their things, while walking directly to the reception room.
On the way, Ren Lord's gaze was on Su Qinglan's body for a moment, "How is it, do you like it here?"
"Not bad." She nodded, even as the compliment nearly gushed out uncontrollably.
On the contrary, it was Ozawa, who still looked arrogant, "It's not as big as great-grandpa's house, but it's still okay is all."
Su Qinglan was somewhat helpless.
Thinking about the somewhat exaggerated castle-like building that Master Gu lived in, I'm afraid that from the Middle Ages stretching to the present day, no one would ever again have nothing to do to build a building like that.
"Zee, where are the manners Mommy taught you?"
Su Qinglan cleared his throat and reminded.
Zee let up at that, pouting and walking peacefully with her holding hands.
The estate was prepared with several bedrooms with great views, three spacious rooms with different views depending on the location although the decorative furnishings were all the same.
The windows offer an unobstructed view and the balcony is furnished with a few chairs for afternoon tea and a view.
"These three rooms are for the use of the three of you, if you need anything, just ring the bedside service bell and an attendant will come."
After the housekeeper made a slight introduction, Xiao Ze softened his voice and pulled Su Qinglan's hand in a petulant manner, "Mommy, such a wide bed, I want to be in a room with you."
"It's too strange here for me to sleep."
Su Qinglan was about to agree, but Ren Lord suddenly seized the conversation, "Sure enough, you're still a little kid, you can't sleep unless you're next to mommy, don't you know you're shy?"
"I didn't!" Zee went to the defense eagerly with a red face, "I was merely trying to protect my mommy, otherwise who knows if you would have gone to my mommy in the middle of the night."
With that, he also straightened his back.
"All this talk is just giving excuses, when I was your age, I wasn't even scared to live by myself in a place this big and empty."
Ren Lord deliberately crouched down, his face teasingly provoking Ozawa.
How can a little man's dignity be shaken like this, he immediately slapped up his little face and shouted, "I'm not the one who's afraid! I'll sleep on my own tonight to show you!"
"Fine, then you can sleep by yourself, I don't believe it anyway. If you're really scared, you can come to my room naked and cry with me." He teased Xiao Ze while giving Su Qinglan a wink.
She couldn't help but laugh helplessly.
While it was fine to sleep with Zee, the little boy was growing up and there were always times when he had to keep his distance.
"Me! Just now! No! Will!" The little guy's lungs exploded.
But it was also the first time Su Qinglan had seen him so excited and energized.
The estate has a full range of facilities, basically everything imaginable, and even a large running track.
The horses' asses here were all extremely well kept, their coats oily and supple, and every one of them appeared to be in good spirits, and were munching hay in their respective rooms at the time of their visit.
One of the batch of horses was called Wuyun Treading Snow, and Ren Lord skillfully walked over and touched its head as if to greet it.
Miraculously the horse also rubbed its head affectionately against his hand and gave a low grunt as if it had known him for a long time.
"Do you come here often?" It was a bit of a surprise to her and she couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, I used to come often if I had time, this is the horse I used to learn equestrianism with, it's called Wu Yun." Ren Lord abruptly thought of something like, looked at Xiao Ze, "How is it, can you ride a horse?"
Ozawa was currently tucking his hands in his pockets and replied with a tugging and cool voice, "Of course I will."
"How about a race? Race me to see who finishes three laps first, and the winner gets to eat fried chicken tonight."
Regarding the fact that he knew that Ze liked fried chicken, he still knew it through Su Qinglan.
But this kind of thing was always unhealthy, so Gu Jinchi controlled it extraordinarily well.
At those words, Ozawa's eyes lit up and immediately agreed with confidence, "Then you must lose."
"That's not necessarily true, I'll just use Dark Cloud, look here which one you like, I'll have the butler bring it out." Ren Lord casually pointed out all the horses here and left it up to Ze to pick them out.
Su Qinglan couldn't help but be a little worried, although she did send Xiao Ze to horsemanship lessons, this kind of thing, horse racing, was still a little too early for a small child.
She walked over to Ren Lord, wanting to speak, "How old are you, why are you still acting like a child."
"Can he get close to me without that?" He laughed, "Don't worry, I have a sense of humor and won't let him get hurt."
"Would you? How about a lesson?"
Su Qinglan looked at the horses in front of her that were taller than her, and after a moment of hesitation, she shook her head, "No need, I'm afraid I don't have a talent for this kind of thing."
"How do you know if you don't try? People are born before they can walk, so how will they learn if they don't." Lord Ren winked at her and had the butler bring out another horse.
To one's surprise, the one white horse went over to Dark Cloud and rubbed against him intimately together, as if it were a couple's mode of getting along.
Under her surprised gaze, Ren Lord introduced, "This is Uyun's girlfriend, Sunny, they have a good relationship, otherwise I wouldn't have sent Uyun here as a door-to-door son-in-law to fulfill them."
Such a flirtation from the son-in-law on the doorstep made Su Qinglan somewhat unable to hold back her laughter, and after smiling, she slightly changed her opinion of Ren Lord in her heart.
When did her impression of Ren Lords change.
The man wasn't just cold and ruthless and cruel in the business world, and he wasn't just a flirtatious dude.
There were times when he was attentive and gentle, and even had a lot of joie de vivre.
The field of the stable had been organized in advance, flat and without any safety hazards, Ozawa had taken good precautions to be carried on the horse, and then pulled the reins with ease to cultivate a tacit understanding with the date-red horse underneath him.
As Ren Lord watched from the sidelines, he couldn't help but sigh, "Although Gu Jinchi is a different person, his son is quite cute."
"Here, I'll help you up, there are professional equestrian teachers here who can teach you, if you trust me."
He reached over to her in a very gentlemanly manner and helped her sit on the horse.
Su Qinglan held the reins in her hands and was inevitably a little apprehensive, "You're an equestrian teacher?"
"No, but I could take one right away to teach you no problem." He teased wryly, then took the horse and led her around the stable, slowly and carefully teaching her how to fit in with the horse beneath her.
Unsurprisingly, she was a quick learner as well, and with Sonny's good nature, one person and one horse were soon able to get out of the motion of him holding them up and trotting around the grounds.
"Good, that's it, just relax and make sure your body is straight."
Like a qualified trainer, he had been patiently helping her and Ze finish familiarizing themselves with the horse before rolling over and riding on Dark Cloud's back.
The movements are fluid, skillful and aesthetically pleasing.
The three horses stood in a line, and he almost semi-forcibly pulled Su Qinglan to participate in them, "I'll count to three, no need to be too hasty, safety first."
"I'm not joining in, I'd rather just go at a leisurely pace like this." The worry in her mind still hadn't been dispelled, but Ren Lords had punched their ticket.
With a look of heroic, teenage intent he fought her, "Don't worry, I'll protect you, and if anything happens, I'll be the first to run to your side."
Then, without giving her a chance to make excuses, the countdown began straight away.
"Three, two, one."
The three horses almost ran out together, at first Su Qinglan was still able to manage to stay on par with them, but as Xiao Ze and Ren Lord drove their horses faster and faster, for safety's sake, she still maintained her speed on a manageable basis.
Watching Xiao Ze and Ren Lord fight it out, the little guy had a stern face, his hand tightly clutching the reins, his serious look always giving her the feeling that she was in a trance and saw Gu Jin Chi.
Although Ren Lords were suspected of letting the water out of the water, it was only before they ran the last lap.
It was only at this time that Ren Lords increased their speed and easily overtook them, and in his haste, Ozawa made the horse under him run happier again, but he didn't expect to startle Sunny.
