661 Competition
âYouâre underestimating me. Iâm already getting better at horse riding. Just let me participate.â
Zhu Asi did not say anything else and nodded.
The race officially began, and the three horses sprinted forward.
Zhu Asi was at the front, and he could not help but feel a little smug.
It looked like he was about to win.
When they were about to reach the finish line, Jiang Mingâs horse rushed over and won first place.
Zhu Anâanâs horse also rushed over and won second place. Zhu Asi immediately became the last.
Zhu Asi looked bitter. âWhy am I the loser? How did I end up in last place? I felt that I could have gotten first place!â
âNext time, you will definitely get first place.â
Zhu Anâan patted Zhu Asiâs shoulder.
âYeah, sure.â
Zhu Asiâs bitter smile did not lessen. Instead, it widened.
He knew Ning Caichen had experience in horse riding, but Zhu Anâan was a newbie!
At this moment, Jiang Ming said something that shocked Zhu Asi.
âIâm also a newbie.â
âWhat?â
Zhu Asi could not believe it. He repeated what Jiang Ming had just said. *Ning Caichen, you said youâre a newbie?â
Long Qingqing and Zhu Anâan heard this and looked shocked. âHow is that possible?â
Zhu Asi could not help but ask, âI saw that you were very skilled when you rode your horse. You even taught Zhu Anâan, but you never asked me to teach you. Arenât you a little too good at this? I didnât even see you fall.â
âProbably luck.â
In the eyes of Zhu Asi and the other two, this was not normal at all. The three of them did not return to their senses until Jiang Ming called them back.
âItâs not that I havenât interacted with horses before. This morning, I even drove a carriage!â Jiang Ming said after some thought.
Drove a carriage?
Zhu Asi instantly fell silent.
He just drove a carriage, and he already knew the essentials of riding a horse? He even taught someone else how to ride!
What kind of genius was Ning Caichen?
Zhu Anâanâs eyes were instantly filled with admiration.
There were still many things about Jiang Ming that she did not know. It was the right decision for her to follow them!
If she had not come over, she would not have been able to see these things.
Long Qingqing was delighted.
It was as expected of the person she liked. The person she admired had to be very outstanding. Lord Ning Caichen was simply the most outstanding.
Long Qingqing sighed. Seeing that Jiang Ming did not have that kind of intention toward her, she did not fawn over Jiang Ming anymore.
Seeing Long Qingqing let go so quickly, Zhu Anâan could not help but admire her.
She could not do that. Anyway, she did not have anyone she liked right now.
If it was possible, she would like to be with Jiang Ming, but for now, she only admired him.
âMs. Long! Ms. Long!â
The coachmanâs voice rang out behind them. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Long Qingqing was stunned for a moment, and she looked at the others.
They thought to themselves.
Could something have happened?
The coachman walked over and said with a smile, âJust now, Master Longâs people came over and said that Master Long wants you to come back with your friend. He said that thereâs something important.â
âAlright, I understand.â
Long Qingqing nodded gently and followed Jiang Ming and the others to get off the horse. Then, they got on the carriage and returned to the Long familyâs residence.
He did not even notice that the cup in his hand was broken.
When Long Qingqing came in, she saw this scene and could not help but ask, âFather, what happened? You just recovered. Why are you sitting down?â
âIâm not sick. It was just a small wound.â Master Long shook his head. When he saw Jiang Ming behind Long Qingqing, his eyes lit up. He said to Jiang Ming, âLord Ning Caichen, have you decided who you want to ally with? Are you allying with Prince Liang or with me?â
Long Qingqing immediately understood.
So, her father was worried about this.
Thinking of this, she also wanted to help her father. She turned to Jiang Ming and said, âNing Caichen, as long as you are willing to form an alliance, I will give up the inheritance of the Long family. I will give you everything that belongs to the Long family.â
Master Long was still quite fond of his daughter. He immediately said, âDonât say that! If you donât have your inheritance, youâll be bullied by your in-laws in the future.â
âFather, itâs nothing.â
Long Qingqing shook her head and looked at Jiang Ming. âWhat do you think? All I need now is your answer.â
She wanted her father to rest quickly. No matter what, at this time, her father had to recuperate.
âIâm willing to form an alliance with you,â Jiang Ming said directly.
Originally, he had come here to form an alliance with Master Long. However, because of the Feng family head, the matter of the alliance was pushed back.
âThatâs great!â
Seeing that Jiang Ming was willing, Master Long wanted to go forward and hold Jiang Mingâs hand. However, he restrained himself and said with a smile, âMr. Ning Caichen, itâs good to cooperate.â
âIndeed.â
Jiang Ming nodded.
Taking advantage of this time, Master Long hurriedly asked someone to draft an agreement and signed it with Jiang Ming.
After the alliance was settled, there was no point in staying in the Long familyâs residence.
Jiang Ming glanced at Master Long and said, âWeâre leaving tomorrow.â
Seeing that Jiang Ming and the others were leaving so soon, Master Long was rather unhappy. âItâs better to stay for a few more days. Are you not satisfied with your treatment here? You can tell me if you need anything.â
âYes, Lord Ning Caichen, you should stay in the mansion for a while longer.â
Long Qingqing also tried to persuade him.
Although she had let it go, she still wanted to spend more time with Ning Caichen. Maybe there would be a different result if she tried again.
She still could not give up. She had to try everything.
âThis⦠Weâll see.â
Jiang Ming smiled awkwardly and did not know how to answer.
Master Long knew that he could not force him to stay, so he took a step back and said seriously, âLord Ning Caichen, donât be restrained. If thereâs anything you need, just ask.â
Zhu Asi watched from the side and could not help but sigh in his heart.
This was the first time he had seen Master Long like this. He was even more amiable than when he first saw them.
If he had not been with Ning Caichen all this time, he would have suspected that Ning Caichen had drugged Master Long.
