Lin Xiaowan took a flower out of the vase before she raised her hand, taking a photo. However, no matter how many photos she took, she was not satisfied. She found her hand and fingers were small and chubby.

When Lin Xiaowan turned around and saw Huo Zheng, an idea appeared in her mind. She skipped over and said, “Sister Zhu made me an administrator of the dessert shop’s account on Speaker. I just created an account so 1 was thinking about what photo 1 should use for my profile picture.”

Lin Xiaowan held Huo Zheng’s hand. His fingers were slender and well-defined, and his hand was much bigger than hers. Veins could also be seen on the back of his hand.

The contrast between their hands was especially obvious in the camera. Seeing this, she could not help but say, “My hand is so fair…”

Lin Xiaowan was very pale, and she was particularly eye-catching when she stood under the sun. It was as though she was glowing.

Huo Zheng smiled and held her hand. He watched as she tried to find a good angle to take photos of their hands.

Finally, Lin Xiaowan found a photo she was satisfied with. She added a filter before she uploaded it.

Lin Xiaowan lay on the bed and continued to look at her phone.

Seeing this, Huo Zheng reached out for her phone and said, “Don’t lie down and play with your phone.”

Lin Xiaowan let go of her phone, letting Huo Zheng take it. When she saw him locking the screen and putting it on the bedside table, she reminded him, “Charge my phone. It’s almost out of battery.”

Huo Zheng turned off the bedside lamp and lay down before he said, “Charge it tomorrow.”

Lin Xiaowan said worriedly, “I’m going to the equestrian club with Sister You’an tomorrow. Will I have time to charge it?”

Huo Zheng kissed her forehead and tucked her in as he said, “There’ll be enough time.”

The next morning, Huo Zheng woke up early to exercise. He planned to have breakfast with Lin Xiaowan before they made their way to the equestrian club.

Recently, Lin Xiaowan had been lazing in bed and sleeping in. It was no different this morning. Huo Zheng kissed her and gently coaxed her to wake up.

When they were having breakfast, Qiao You’an called Huo Zheng when she discovered she could not get through to Lin Xiaowan.

“I forgot to charge my phone!” Lin Xiaowan exclaimed, smacking her forehead.

Just as she was about to get up, Huo Zheng stopped her. He told her to eat her breakfast while he went to get her phone for her.

Lin Xiaowan hugged Huo Zheng and gave him a kiss, saying, “Brother, you’re so nice!”

However, before Huo Zheng could hold her and kiss her back, she had already returned to her seat, happily eating her breakfast. He laughed softly when he saw this.

She would only call him ‘Brother’ when she needed something. Otherwise, she would call him Huo Zheng. What a cunning girl!

During the journey, they passed by the dessert shop that had been renovated twice. Seeing that it was open, Lin Xiaowan wanted to go in and buy some desserts for the two children.

Huo Zheng did not tell the driver to pull over. Instead, he said, “Eating too many desserts will cause one’s teeth to fall.”

Lin Xiaowan was slightly unhappy, but she did not protest. Seeing that the driver was in a difficult position, she gestured for the driver to continue driving as she said, “Alright, alright. We won’t buy any desserts. There are not many desserts at this time anyway.”

The patissiers started work at 8.30 AM, and it was only 9 AM now. As such, there were really not many desserts at this time.

Lin Xiaowan showed Huo Zheng her pearly white teeth and said, “Look! My teeth are fine! They’re not going to fall. I brush my teeth for at least two minutes every time.”

Huo Zheng only tapped the tip of her nose and did not say anything.

Sometimes, he wondered if it was a good idea for Lin Xiaowan to open a dessert shop. It was good that she was keeping herself busy. She had also been completing the assignments that Hong Minhua gave her in the shop. However, her passion for desserts was a little too much. It was not just a novelty. Her love for desserts seemed to grow stronger by the day. Sometimes, she ate desserts as though they were rice.

This gave Huo Zheng a headache. However, there was nothing he could do about it. He could not say no to her at all when she hugged him and called him ‘Brother’. He could only sigh and give in to her, making sure her three meals were nutritious enough.

Lin Xiaowan would listen to Huo Zheng most of the time. When she did not listen to him, she would take the initiative to admit her mistake before she acted coquettishly with him.

Lin Xiaowan put on a full set of protective gear. After all, it was her first time riding a horse. When she came out after changing, she saw Huo Zheng waiting for her not far away with a brownish-gray horse.

Seeing that Huo Dabao and Huo Erbao were not around when she had just seen them a moment ago, she asked Qiao You’an, “Where did Dabao and Erbao go?”

“They left with the coach.”

Huo Dabao and Huo Erbao were with their coach, accompanied by their nanny. Moreover, this was not their first time riding a horse. As such, Qiao You’an felt assured even though this was a new race track.

“You’ll see them later.”

Lin Xiaowan found it difficult to get on the horse. She did not dare to pull the reins tightly, afraid that she would hurt the horse. With one foot on the stirrups, she tried to lift her other leg. Alas, before she could go any further, she fell again.

Qiao You’an chuckled. “It’s okay. Don’t think so much. If you fall, we’ll catch you.”

Lin Xiaowan was timid. Fortunately, the horse had a very good temper. It stood there obediently, swishing its tail as she tried to get on it. For the first time, she realized how tall horses were. She looked at Huo Zheng subconsciously, asking for help.

The equestrian coach also laughed. Then, he left and returned with a small stool, which seemed like the ones used in ancient times to get on and off a carriage.

Lin Xiaowan felt embarrassed.

The stool was about knee-high. She supported herself using Huo Zheng’s arm and stood up shakily. After that, the coach handed the reins to her and patted the saddle before he said, “Hold onto this place. It should be easier to cross over if the position is higher.”

Lin Xiaowan gritted her teeth, determined to use more strength this time. With Huo Zheng’s support, this time she successfully got on the horse’s back. She could not help but feel scared when she saw how high she was sitting. Moreover, there was no protection on both sides. However, despite feeling scared, she also felt eager to ride a horse.

Since she was a beginner, the coach held the reins and led the horse for her around the field a few times. She was naturally not allowed to ride alone. Even Huo Dabao and Huo Erbao who had ridden horses before were not left alone and had a coach accompanying them.

While the equestrian coach led the horse around, he also told Lin Xiaowan what to take note of..
