"Hai Zi." Zhou Yutao was the first to recover from his shock, smiling as he walked up to greet Yang Yunhai, "Not going to introduce us?"
"My wife, Gu Lingling," Yang Yunhai chuckled, giving him a light punch on the shoulder, "Zhou Yutao, call him Big Brother."
"Hello, Big Brother." Gu Lingling smiled sweetly.
"Hello, sister-in-law." Zhou Yutao smiled back at Gu Lingling, "Iâm Zhou Yutao, you can call me Brother Tao."
He was two years older than Yang Yunhai, and now Yang Yunhai even had a wife, while he was still a lone bachelor.
After their greetings, they walked over together, "I heard the stables just got a batch of good horses. Sister-in-law, why donât you pick one you like as a gift from me?"
"No need," Yang Yunhai smiled, looking at Zhou Yutao, "I heard your horse Treading Clouds had a foal recently? Big Brother, you canât give such a shabby gift."
Zhou Yutao, "..."
That little brat. He wondered why he was suddenly so agreeable; it turned out he was digging a pit here for him to fall into.
That was Treading Clouds, the horse he painstakingly selected, a fine-blooded steed. It wasnât easy to breed, and the foal that came from it couldnât possibly be ordinary.
But since sheâd already called him "Big Brother," he couldnât just let that be for nothing.
Zhou Yutao shook his head and laughed, "Fine."
"Arenât you going to thank Big Brother?" Yang Yunhai said with a doting smile to Gu Lingling.
"I really donât need..." Gu Lingling, seeing Zhou Yutaoâs demeanor, could tell this foal must be of a great breed. She couldnât even ride a horse yet, having such a good breed would be a waste, "So thank you for your kind offer, Big Brother."
"Do you even know what youâre turning down?" Zhou Yutao couldnât help but be curious seeing her like this, "Why not see it first and then decide?"
This was in case she didnât recognize its value.
Gu Lingling wanted to say more but was pulled away by Yang Yunhai, "Letâs go take a look."
When they arrived at the stable, from afar they could see a beautiful mare in an isolated stall, with a very cute foal next to it.
All white, it was adorably rubbing against the mareâs leg, looking up at her as if being coy.
It was just... too cute, wasnât it!
Gu Lingling felt herself melting from the cuteness of the little foal. Without waiting for an invitation from the others, she happily ran forward, "What a beautiful little foal."
Yang Yunhai smiled indulgently.
"Can I... can I touch it?" Gu Lingling asked cautiously.
"Come." Yang Yunhai approached Treading Clouds, patted its head, and then stroked the foalâs head.
"Of course you can." Zhou Yutao said with a smile.
They watched as Gu Lingling, full of curiosity, carefully reached out her hand to gently poke the little foal.
The foal, "..."
Proudly turned its head to the side.
Gu Lingling, "..."
Yang Yunhai just laughed, taking her hand and together they stroked its head soothingly.
Perhaps because it felt comfortable being stroked like this, the little foal turned its head to look at Gu Lingling.
"Itâs so cute." Gu Lingling whispered.
Afraid that speaking loudly might startle it.
"But, I still canât take it." Just when Yang Yunhai and Zhou Yutao thought she wouldnât be able to resist wanting it, Gu Lingling said this, looking at the foal with reluctance and furrowing her brows.
"Such an excellent foal." If it came to her, wouldnât it be wasted?
Zhou Yutao was a bit surprised, having clearly seen how much she liked it just now, "You donât like it?"
"I do." Gu Linglingâs eyes remained fixed on the foal, and the foal seemed to notice, nuzzling her hand.
Gu Linglingâs heart was about to melt from its cuteness.
"Can I come often to see it?"
