Xiao Yuruo didn't know what was happening. Seeing him tease her with that demeanor, she felt an immense sense of injustice, pushing him off the carriage, and the tears began to flow. As Lin San jumped down from the carriage dejectedly, the Eldest Miss angrily flung aside the curtain. With a kick, she flung off her embroidered shoes.

Feeling both embarrassed and angry, she picked up a cup of aromatic tea from the table and took a sip. Suddenly remembering something, she gasped and tossed the tea cup onto the ground.

Lin Wanrong saw the cup he had just drank from being tossed onto the ground forcefully. He sighed inwardly, knowing that the Eldest Miss must have grown to despise him thoroughly.

Xiao Yuruo felt a mix of embarrassment, anger, and injustice. She stared blankly at the small plate left with the tea bowl and couldn't help but fall onto her bed, whimpering and crying.

Listening to the faint cries from inside, Lin Wanrong was unsure of what to do. ‘Sigh, this Eldest Miss was seriously lacking a sense of humor, her tear ducts were overly active. All because of a small joke, she was this upset?’

He stood by his black horse, flipping onto it, then down again, up and down repeatedly.

The servant who was instructed by the Eldest Miss to trail behind them watched Lin Wanrong's strange actions and thought to himself, Young Master Lin is truly hardworking, practicing his horse riding skills even on the road.

Hearing that the Eldest Miss' crying seemed unstoppable, Lin Wanrong felt helpless. Women indeed have a knack for making mountains out of molehills. He didn't understand the concept of not peeking when not permitted. Quietly, he lifted the curtain of the carriage window to look inside, only to see the Eldest Miss lying on her bed, her shoulders shaking, even her pillow was soaked through.

It was just a joke, was it necessary to cry a river over it? Lin Wanrong watched helplessly and could only call out softly, "Eldest Miss, Eldest Miss—"

When Xiao Yuruo heard the annoying person calling her, his voice seemed quite close. She quietly lifted her head to see a smiling face stretching into the carriage through the window. Tan skin, sly eyes, if it wasn't the bad guy, who else could it be?

"You, what are you doing here?" The Eldest Miss rushed forward, trying to pull down the curtain to cover that annoying face. Lin Wanrong hurriedly lifted the curtain. The two of them pulled in opposite directions, resulting in a stalemate.

The Eldest Miss was both embarrassed and angry, no longer caring about her crying. She extended her small fist and punched him, "You bad person, let go." Lin San yelped, and the curtain fell down. There was no further sound from him.

Xiao Yuruo looked at her own small hand doubtfully. She hadn't touched him just now, what happened to him? After waiting for a while without hearing any movement, she lightly lifted the curtain, only to see the black horse standing quietly in the distance, but there was no sign of Lin San.

"Lin San, Lin San—" The Eldest Miss softly called out a couple of times, but there was still no answer. Seeing that it was getting late, the Eldest Miss grew anxious, calling out several more times, but still there was no reply.

Xiao Yuruo was getting anxious. She was about to step down from the carriage to search for him when she heard the distant call of the young servant, "Young Master Lin, what are you doing under the carriage wheel?"

Taken aback, the Eldest Miss hurriedly leaned over to look down, only to see Lin San winking at her from beneath the carriage wheel.

The Eldest Miss’ anger surged like a tide. Lifting her small foot, she stomped viciously on the two hands clinging to the carriage shaft.

Lin San hastily let go. The Eldest Miss shouted, "Go!" in a delicate voice, and the carriage bolted forward.

Lin Wanrong was left behind, tasting a mouthful of dirt. Anger swelled within him. It seemed the words 'on the verge of success, yet doomed to failure' could indeed apply to him.

The servant who had spoiled Lin Wanrong's plans hurriedly spurred his horse to catch up, pulling Lin Wanrong up and asking, "Young Master Lin, what happened? Did the Eldest Miss’ horse get startled?"

Lin Wanrong thought to himself, it wasn't the horse that was startled, but the Eldest Miss. He forced a smile and said, "No, the carriage wheel of the Eldest Miss was a little crooked, so I went to adjust it. Just happened that the Eldest Miss had some urgent matters and left first."

The servant, who had received instructions from the Eldest Miss to keep a distance and was thus ignorant of the incident between them, admired Lin Wanrong's selflessness in his contribution to the Xiao family. He gave a thumbs up and said, "No wonder the Madam and the Eldest Miss trust Young Master Lin so much. You truly stand out from the rest."

Lin Wanrong brushed off the dust from his clothes, feeling more embarrassed than he ever had since his record of wooing women. Riding his black horse, he thought, ‘The Eldest Miss has a peculiar temper, it's best to keep a distance in the future.’ If this were in the previous era and the carriage was replaced with a Mercedes, one move from her and his life would be forfeit.

With the young servant, Lin Wanrong spurred his horse to catch up with the carriage. But he noticed a white horse that hadn't been there before, ridden by a petite figure that seemed vaguely familiar from a distance.

Hastily urging his horse forward, he saw that the one accompanying the carriage was Miss Wanying. This delicate looking woman was surprisingly skilled at riding a horse, no wonder she was able to become a constable.

The Eldest Miss was chatting with Miss Wanying through the carriage curtain. Seeing Lin Wanrong catch up, she nodded at him. Her face bore no trace of anger or embarrassment, as though she had completely forgotten the incident just moments ago.

She looked expressionlessly at Lin Wanrong and said, "Lin San, it's getting late. Let's hurry up."

Seeing her resume her usual calm demeanor, Lin Wanrong sighed inwardly, ‘Women are indeed masters of changing faces.’ Thinking of the Eldest Miss's unpredictable attitude, he felt a headache coming on. Well, if he couldn't deal with her, he could always avoid her. Cherish life, keep distance from the Eldest Miss.

Making up his mind, he steered his horse aside, keeping a distance of about four to five meters from the carriage, quietly following along.

Upon hearing Xiao Yuruo's words, Miss Wanying grew anxious and hurriedly held onto the Eldest Miss's hand. "Sister Yuruo, whenever you have the time, you must visit my house. My brother thinks of you every day."

Miss Wanying, skilled at horse riding, held the Eldest Miss with one hand and the reins with the other, showing remarkable stability. Lin Wanrong, watching the scene, could not help but marvel at his need to improve his own riding skills.

The Eldest Miss blushed at Miss Wanying's words and quickly replied, "Miss Wanying, I have been quite busy lately. However, I promise to visit your esteemed father in your residence soon."

Lin Wanrong wondered from where this young lady had appeared, and how she had materialized so swiftly in front of the Eldest Miss's carriage. From her words, it seemed her brother harbored romantic feelings for the Eldest Miss. Lin Wanrong scoffed inwardly at this idea. Was her brother not man enough to express his feelings himself? Why send his sister to do his bidding?

Miss Wanying seemed disappointed and asked Xiao Yuruo, "Sister Yuruo, did my brother do something wrong? He used to come home happy every day, but lately he always wears a frown. Did he do something to upset you?"

Xiao Yuruo seemed flustered and unsure of how to respond to Wanying. She glanced at Lin Wanrong, seeking help.

Lin Wanrong, oblivious to who Miss Wanying's brother was and not particularly caring, decided to change the subject. He pretended to check the time and suggested, "Eldest Miss, it's getting late. The Madam has prepared a special swallow's nest soup for you. She wishes you to return home soon and strengthen your constitution."

Miss Wanying immediately interjected, "We have plenty of swallow's nest at home, even blood swallow's nest. Sister Yuruo, why not come to my house now? I'll personally cook for you and ensure you're well-nourished."

Irritated, Lin Wanrong tried to divert the conversation, pointing ahead and exclaiming, "Isn't that Young Master Hou Yuebai?"

Miss Wanying quickly turned her head, asking anxiously, "Where is Young Master Hou?"

Lin Wanrong took this opportunity to steer his horse in between Miss Wanying and the Eldest Miss, grinning, "Young Master Hou is waiting for you to cook blood swallow's nest for him."

Only then did Miss Wanying realize she'd been tricked. Blushing with a mix of embarrassment and anger, she pointed at Lin Wanrong, "Lin San, are you intentionally opposing me?"

With a helpless shake of his head, Lin Wanrong dismissed her accusation. Ignoring Miss Wanying, he pulled the curtains on the Eldest Miss's carriage. The Eldest Miss merely gave him a glance, remaining silent.

Miss Wanying, seeing Lin San ignoring her, huffed and tried to steer her white horse to edge out Lin Wanrong's black horse. However, Lin's black horse was taller and more majestic. A few rubs of his head on the white horse's face was enough to quiet it down.

Confused about her horse's behaviour, Miss Wanying tried to spur it on twice but to no avail. Laughing, Lin Wanrong commented, "Miss Wanying, it's natural for opposites to attract. Don't be upset."

Wanying seemed puzzled. "What do you mean by 'opposites attracting'?"

Lin Wanrong explained, "My black brother here is a stallion, and your little white one is a mare. They have fallen in love at first sight."

"Disgusting!" Two female voices chorused from inside and outside the carriage. Wanying's face turned beet red as she snapped, "You vulgar lout!" With the conversation having taken such a turn, even her thick skin could not withstand the embarrassment, and she urged her white horse into a gallop, quickly leaving the scene.

The Eldest Miss sighed softly. No matter who dealt with this Lin San, no one seemed to come off any better.

"Lin San, in the future, refrain from casually disrespecting decent young ladies," the Eldest Miss advised from behind the curtain.

Lin Wanrong did not heed her words, simply muttering, "That Wanying, I don't know which family's young lady she is, but she's quite troublesome."

Xiao Yuruo grunted in agreement, quietly adding, "Her surname is Tao."

Unfortunately, at that moment, Lin Wanrong had already turned his horse away from the Eldest Miss, adhering to his principle of keeping a safe distance. As such, he did not hear her words.

Upon reaching the entrance of the Xiao residence, Lin Wanrong had just dismounted when he noticed a graceful figure anxiously pacing in the distance. As soon as the woman spotted Lin Wanrong, tears welled up in her eyes and she rushed over, crying, "Big brother, quickly, save Qingshan—"

The Eldest Miss had just alighted from the carriage when her gaze fell upon an exceptionally beautiful woman leaping into Lin San's arms.
