It had a coat that was so black and silky that it shone, its fine mane swept in the wind. It looks handsome and elegant. His gaze was deep and calm, like a lake without ripples, as he dashed confidently at Li Lei and lowered his head gracefully to the owner.
"Very beautiful" cried someone slowly.
Although they had just seen Li Lei riding it earlier, the beauty of this horse was such that you were amazed every time you saw it.
Li Lei laughed as he patted the horse's head, and then turned to introduce it to Xia Ling. “The name is Thunder, you can ride it,” he named the horse by his own name, showing how much he likes it. Other than Xia Ling, she had not allowed anyone else to ride it before.
Quickly, the rich man who knew this fact all gave Xia Ling a few more glances.
Xia Ling just walked observe him observing, not showing directly if he was going to ride it. In reality, when no one was looking, he had looked to where Thunder had come. He wanted to see another horse, but he wasn't sure if it was still here. Is it okay?
He looked around for a while, and when he felt disappointed, a glimpse of a fiery red shadow appeared nearby.
The horse was like the wind and also a flash of red light that quickly passed by. Before anyone could react, it dashed straight towards Xia Ling. Its speed was extremely fast as it approached from far away in just a matter of seconds. Its majestic entrance even made Thunder Li Lei retreat slightly.
"Be careful!" Some people are screaming.
The horse ran very fast, if someone was in its path, they would die or be paralyzed!
Li Lei stretched out his hand, intending to pull Xia Ling to safety from this sudden occurrence. However, his feet seemed to have taken root and he stood there unshakably at the same spot, watching the horse gallop towards him.
Oh my God, is he too scared to move?
Many could not bear to see him, thinking that he would be trampled and become a meat patty.
Just as the horse was half a step away from Xia Ling, it stopped suddenly as fast as it had speeded.
How lucky . . .
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Du Yunfeng was the first to regain his senses, and could not help but berate Xia Ling. "Why are you just standing there stupidly? You didn't move even when Second Young Master Li pulled you away. Do you know how dangerous that is ?!" Li Lei was unable to pull it off earlier and, hence, could not run out of time either. If the horse hit them, whether Xia Ling died or not was number two. If Li Lei had been injured or injured, it would have been a travesty!
"Yes, why are you so confused ?!" The rich gentlemen who looked on alternately chided him as they each jolted back to their senses.
However, at this moment, Xia Ling did not listen to them at all. His entire focus was this fiery and extremely beautiful red horse. He slowly stretched out his hand to pat the mane of the mare on the top of his neck, as if he was greeting a friend whom he had not seen for a long time.
The female horse calmly leaned her head towards him, letting him gently pet her, watching her with eyes as bright as precious stones. The highlight of his eyes contained an unspeakable loyalty, longing, and sorrow.
“Song Valiant.” Li Lei recognized the horse and watched in surprise at his interaction with Xia Ling.
“This Valiant Song.” Many others recognized the horse following Li Lei's statement. Many of these rich people were raising horses in Nan Shan, and all of those who were raising horses here knew Song Valiant. She is too unique – of all horses kept here, she is the only mare, but is the queen of all horses here, contrary to the belief that stallions are superior in the equestrian scene.
He was extremely aggressive and other than his owner, no one could get close to him.
The owner is dead.
“She was Miss Xia Ling's favorite horse when she was alive.” The maid accompanying them said as she returned to her senses.
No one knew that this girl interacting so closely with Valiant Song was none other than Xia Ling's reincarnation. Only Valiant Song recognized him after missing him for so long. Just one glance and he knew who he was in the middle of the crowd.
In her eyes, she looked at Xia Ling's life in the past and present.
Xia Ling combed Valiant Song's mane as her memories flooded in. She remembers traveling the world and spending two full years in crossbreeding, and then struggling through a blizzard to see Song Valiant born in England and then taking her home on a chartered plane.
Later, Xia Ling became busier and lost interest in horse riding. Xia Ling sent Valiant Song to Nan Shan's riding club out of fear that he would be lonely in Pei Ziheng's large bungalow backyard. Xia Ling thought that Valiant Song would be happier among the pedigree horses in the riding club, roaming around freely.
After that, he was imprisoned by Pei Ziheng and never saw Song Valiant again.
It has been two years since they were separated.
“I'm sorry, Valiant Song, for coming late,” He buried his face in Valiant Song's mane and said softly, his voice too soft for others to hear.
Valiant Song understood it and softly neighed in response.
“Excellent,” the maid looked muttered. "Song Valiant approached her willingly."
"Can I drive it?" Xia Ling raised her head to ask. His goal of coming to this private area was to never see Li Lei's horse, but to look for Song Valiant. Two years had passed and he could not help his longing.
However, the helper restlessly and timidly said, "Miss, this is the horse that Xia Ling put in our care when she was alive. Now, he is owned by Mr. Pei Ziheng of Imperial Entertainment. Mr. Pei has told us that no one is touching him. "
So, he was now Pei Ziheng's horse.
Xia Ling reluctantly let go of Valiant Song. He should have thought of the fact that after his death, all of his possessions were transferred to Pei Ziheng's care. Valiant Song was no exception.
He did not want anything to do with Pei Ziheng.
“Forget it,” he endured his grief and turned to leave.
"Didn't you pick a horse again?" asked Du Yunfeng. "Thunder Second Young Master isn't bad either. Other English genealogies are also available for you to choose from. You …"
“I can choose from horses available for normal club members,” Xia Ling replied sadly.
If he could not ride the Valiant Song, the other horses were all the same, be it Hanover, the English pedigree, or the lesser-known breed.
He slowly walked away, his back looking lonely and sad.
Valiant Song felt that he was going to go and run beside her, neighing as if he was anxiously asking Xia Ling to stay.
Xia Ling walked faster and faster, not daring to stop, afraid that if she stopped she would not be able to leave anymore.
However, Valiant Song constantly followed beside him, his commotion becoming even more anxious.
Finally, he could not take it anymore and stopped. Song Valiant placed his head on Xia Ling's shoulder, his cheek pressed against Xia Ling's cheek. Xia Ling closed her eyes as she felt Valiant Song's coat clinging to her skin, struggling to control her tears from falling.
"What should we do to get him?" Suddenly, he heard Li Lei ask.
The maid replied, her voice filled with discomfort. "Mr Pei has set a firm order. Under no circumstances can anyone ride it." He felt regret, a main horse like Valiant Song would be completely useless if left unattended any longer.
"Pei Ziheng really likes this horse?" Li Lei's voice sounded again.
The maid replied, "Yes."
"What if it dies?"
"Aah?" The helper stared in shock.
"It was dying, or being ridden by someone else. Which of these will have more serious consequences?" Li Lei asked casually while smiling as if what he said was a typical dinner topic. "If you make Xiao Ling unhappy, I will be unhappy. When I'm not happy, I'll do whatever I please."
