Chapter 167 Not Love, Then Hate
Bai Aoxue left first and it was unexpected for her to know that Bai Suxue would become mature in an instant through the series of events that happened just now.
But even if Bai Aoxue learned about the situation, she would not have the idea to deal with Bai Suxue.
Their first stop on this journey was Yangzhou.
“Travel to Yangzhou in March when all kinds of flowers blossom.” This was just the right time to Yangzhou.
The horse was tough and running fiercely, but it could not cope with stubbornness of Bai Aoxue and finally gave up fighting.
The horse slowed down gradually and admitted to be defeated.
Of course, Bai Aoxue recognized the horse’s yielding. She curled up her lips and combed the white smooth mane in satisfaction.
“Since you yield to me, you will follow me from now on. Understand, White?” Bai Aoxue said softly. Jun Yeyan caught up with Bai Aoxue and he overheard the nickname of “White” that Bai Aoxue called the horse. He jerked his lips severely and looked at the beautiful Kazakh horse in pity.
While the horse, which was named by Bai Aoxue, kicked its front hoofs all of a sudden.
It stamped the four hoofs in agitation. It didn’t expect this shameless human being would give it such a vulgar nickname.
“Well… I know you are happy. But you don’t have to be so excited. You will work for me from now on.” Bai Aoxue was satisfied with the horse’s behavior.
Both Jun Yeyan and the hose became wordless when they heard Bai Aoxue’s words.
The Kazakh horse White stopped struggling and it admitted the fact that its owner would be this arrogant lady from now on.
Bai Aoxue turned to look at Jun Yeyan, with her neck forming an arc, “I like this gift very much, thank you.”
Jun Yeyan was a little bit shy when he heard Bai Aoxue’s appreciation, “It’s OK as long as you like it.”
“Don’t we need to wait for them?” Bai Aoxue asked when she noticed that the procession fell behind. Her eyes were full of softness.
Jun Yeyan nodded his head, “No. We don’t have to. I have already informed Zhao that we will meet them at the next posthouse.”
I would like to enjoy the views on the way, just the two of us.
Of course, Jun Yeyan would not speak out this sentence. He just spoke in silence.
Bai Aoxue didn’t think much. She opened her arms with her hands not holding the bridle anymore, “White, run!”
White darted ahead obediently.
Looking at Bai Aoxue, Jun Yeyan’s pupils narrowed in an instant! Bai Aoxue was committing suicidal behavior! If the horse runs too fast, she would certainly not control it well and fall down from the horse back!
Jun Yeyan whipped his horse and caught up with Bai Aoxue. He would never let Bai Aoxue risk her life!
Bai Aoxue stretched her arms. Her black hairs were swaying in the air. Her bright red dress was like a flamingo which is about to fly into the sky.
Jun Yeyan didn’t have the mood to enjoy this beautiful scenery. All he was concerned about was the safety of Bai Aoxue.
White was running faster and faster. Jun Yeyan began to worry. He speeded up to caught up with Bai Aoxue.
He came to the side of Bai Aoxue and jumped up quickly. His black robe with gilt edge was coated with a saint gilt edge in the sunshine. All of this seemed to be unreal. Jun Yeyan was like a saint.
His bewitching phoenix eyes were staring at Bai Aoxue seriously, with obvious ardent love and concern about Bai Aoxue.
Jun Yeyan straddled on White in an instant, grabbed the bridle with one hand, and held Bai Aoxue with the other hand.
He was afraid that Bai Aoxue might fall down from the horse back.
Bai Aoxue leaned on Jun Yeyan’s chest. Her mind was clear and she was happy.
Jun Yeyan lowered his eyes intending to scold Bai Aoxue of risking her life, but he noticed the smile with happiness on her blushed face.
Her narrowed eyes were crystal and bright, with lips lightly bit by her teeth. She caught her breath slightly.
Right now, Bai Aoxue was weak but shining and free. Jun Yeyan knew that Bai Aoxue right now was enjoying her best time.
She was as free as the wind without any restraining.
She was shining brilliantly with no restriction of the secular views.
Jun Yeyan had the chance to meet Bai Aoxue in this world full of beauties. He felt this was the luckiest thing that happened to him.
“Well… I feel so happy!” Bai Aoxue laughed lightly.
Jun Yeyan looked at Bai Aoxue and was happy to see her shining smile. He rubbed her hairs and laid his jaw on the top of her head.
“You fool. Don’t risk your life like this. Even so, you should have me by your side, you understand?” Jun Yeyan blamed her in a deep voice.
But the ardent love and concern were like fresh honey, which was so sweet that could cloy people to death.
Bai Aoxue leaned on the chest of Jun Yeyan, enjoying the scenery on the way, “It turns out to be so happy to leave Chengxi. I didn’t expect there would be so marvelous views waiting for me to enjoy.”
Jun Yeyan was a little bit disappointed at Bai Aoxue’s words.
The truth was, as he presumed, that his Xue didn’t like Chengxi. What she liked most was freedom.
Her arrogant facial expression, her cold eyes and her cruelty were her fortress she built to protect herself.
But nobody knew that such an arrogant cruel lady owned the warmest heart in this world.
“I will travel with you to see different views every year if you like.” Jun Yeyan fluttered his lips to speak out his thought.
Bai Aoxue fell into silence for a while.
She didn’t expect Jun Yeyan to give up the throne. She knew that Jun Yeyan had waited for the moment of ascending to the throne for many years. She also knew that Jun Yeyan would not give up the throne easily.
Even if he would like to give up the throne for her, she would not allow him to do so.
But if she really stayed in the palace for the rest of her life, she would not do it.
Life is short. One should go through the hardships and difficulties in life and at the same enjoy the happiness in life. Bai Aoxue had lost and given up so many things. She would not lose her freedom.
She didn’t want to lose. She could not lose!
Loving each other, they were doomed to confront many deadlocks, weren’t they?
Thinking of this, Bai Aoxue was confused. She admitted she had feelings for Jun Yeyan. But she didn’t love Jun Yeyan as much as Jun Yeyan loved her. This was unfair to Jun Yeyan, wasn’t it?
But was there fairness in love?
Bai Aoxue’s silence caused Jun Yeyan distressed. He knew that it was cruel to keep Bai Aoxue in the palace. He knew the best that Bai Aoxue was longing for freedom.
But the path to throne was doomed to discard freedom. Would Bai Aoxue dare to gamble her freedom on him?
Jun Yeyan didn’t know. Right now, he didn’t want to know either.
He was going to leave everything to time. No matter what happened in the future, he would never let Bai Aoxue leave, never!
He would spare no effort to stop her leaving, including breaking her wings and plucking off her feathers.
If they couldn’t love each other in the rest of their lives, it would be good enough for them to hate each other…
Both of them were pondering without noticing the dusty distance. If observed carefully, there was cold reflection under the sunshine.
“Let’s go to Yangzhou first. To check out how beautiful Yangzhou is.” Bai Aoxue smiled and pulled the bridle.
Jun Yeyan’s facial expression didn’t show that he was a little bit nervous about stopping Bai Aoxue leaving. He was not confident to stop her.
Jun Yeyan was lost in pondering. Bai Aoxue patted on his hand, “What are you thinking of? Get back to your horse. White is too small to take both of us.”
Jun Yeyan jerked his lips and held Bai Aoxue obsessively. Then he jumped back to his own horse.
Jun Yeyan’s motion was clear and lazy. Bai Aoxue was attracted by his motion. She thought she was very handsome when riding a horse. But Jun Yeyan was much better than she was in riding a horse. Any of his motions was attractive to her.
“What… Is your husband attractive to you? My Xue is stunned by me.” Jun Yeyan said in a bantering voice.
Bai Aoxue jerked her lips and said casually, “You misunderstood. I was observing a frog riding a horse just now.”
Jun Yeyan’s smile froze on his face when he heard Bai Aoxue’s words. He looked at Bai Aoxue unbelievably, “Frog? Xue… You…”
Bai Aoxue held bridle and darted ahead without listening to Jun Yeyan finish his words.
“Go!”
Looking at the handsome figure of Bai Aoxue, Jun Yeyan could not help smiling slightly. Never mind. He would like to give up everything as long as she was happy.
Jun Yeyan stopped worrying and caught up with Bai Aoxue.
The lady ahead of him was a treasure he cherished the most in his life. She was the person he would like to hold hands to enjoy the magnificence of the world.
No matter what would happen in the future, he would cherish every day.
Jun Yeyan’s bewitching eyes shot out brilliant light in the moment he curled his lips to smile. All of his charming is just for only one lady, Bai Aoxue.
Bai Aoxue discovered the glint and flash of knives and swords. She hadn’t decided whether to go over to check out or make a detour. Jun Yeyan caught up with her.
Looking at the fight ahead in distance, Jun Yeyan curled his eyebrows.
“Xue, will we go to check it out?” Jun Yeyan came to the side of Bai Aoxue and asked slowly.
Bai Aoxue shook her head lightly, “The less trouble, the better. Besides, we don’t know whether it is a trap or not. Let’s make a detour.”
Jun Yeyan agreed, “Then let’s make a detour. It is definitely a fierce fight.”
Jun Yeyan and Bai Aoxue were about to leave when the person who was in fighting was pissed off.
In the peripheral vision, a fighting person caught the sight of Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan. To her surprise, neither of them left at once, but discussed over the fight. They were obviously despising her.
The moment Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan turned their horses, they heard a female shouting, “You two stop! You need to pay to watch me fighting!”
Bai Aoxue felt ridiculous. Jun Yeyan wore a dumb face. But the cruelty in his eyes couldn’t be missed by Bai Aoxue.
Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan ignored the shouting. They were about to leave when a sharp arrow darted towards them.
Bai Aoxue avoided the arrow easily and her face turned cruel in a second.
“You are courting death!”
