As she walked, she saw someone leading a horse approaching. This late at night, it must be a servant of the mansion – perfect, she could ask how to get out. Shan Xiaoya quickened her steps towards him.
Huoyan Nan, leading his horse and feeling frustrated, wanted to leave the mansion to relax. Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure approaching. Recognizing her as Shan Xiaoya, whom he had imprisoned in the courtyard, his expression darkened. This bold woman dared to ignore his words and sneak out – was she trying to escape? The thought of her escaping enraged him.
This time, he would make her understand the consequences of trying to escape from him. Huoyan Nan’s physical needs transformed into anger. He mounted his horse swiftly, and the horse raced towards Shan Xiaoya. The speed was beyond imagination, too fast to dodge. It seemed Shan Xiaoya was about to become a victim under the horse’s hooves.
Just as he was about to collide with Shan Xiaoya, Huoyan Nan skillfully pulled the reins to the left, leaned down, and caught her with his arm, laying her horizontally on the horse’s back. Then he squeezed the horse’s belly, and they sped away.
Dan Xiaoya was thrown out by Hu Yannan, flying out… Closing her eyes and waiting for the pain to arrive, cursing Hu Yannan N times in her heart… Suddenly she discovered she had stopped, but the expected pain had not come. She quickly opened her eyes to find herself hanging on a large tree…
Her clothes were caught on a protruding dry branch, swaying dangerously. Looking down, her feet were far from the ground – if she fell, she would definitely be hurt. The culprit sat on horseback, watching her intently.
Dan Xiaoya tried to reach out and grab the tree trunk to stabilize herself, but she couldn’t reach it. She could only watch helplessly as her body continued to slide with the swaying branches…
Hu Yannan coldly watched Dan Xiaoya hanging on the tree. He was curious and wanted to see if she, who seemed fearless, would still hold her head high in such a passive situation, or let herself be badly injured. He hoped she would beg him for help; if she pleaded, he might generously rescue her. His gaze burned as he looked at her.
