Chapter 707: Who Does the Child Resemble

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xia Ling joked. “Aren’t you learning how to ride a horse now?”

Shaohui lifted his head. “I’m only sitting on the horse’s back now while dad is guiding me. I want to learn how to ride a horse myself.” He lifted his small hand and pointed at a horseback rider who was speeding away on his horse. “Like that. How cool!”

Xia Ling said, “You’re still young. You can’t ride such a big horse.”

The child felt a little disappointed.

Li Lei glanced at the child and called a staff member at the horse ranch over to ask if there were any horses suitable for children to ride. The staff said, “Yes, there are. Mr. Li, what a coincidence. Just recently, we added a few domesticated ponies, and it’s about time for them to be used for horseback riding.”

Li Lei said, “Take us to see them.”

Under the staff’s lead, they arrived at the place where the ponies were held.

With the help of his dad and mom, Shaohui got off the tall Hanover and looked at the ponies in the stables curiously. The ponies were all very beautiful. They had shiny bodies, sharp eyes, and powerful hoofs. When Shaohui sized them up, they sized him up curiously. This child had a natural affinity with nature and animals all felt good about him.

The staff introduced them to the ponies. “This is a purebred horse, that is an Arabian horse, and that one is a hybrid of an Arabian and a Mongolian.”

Li Lei lowered his head and asked Shaohui, “Which one do you like?”

Shaohui’s eyes drifted from pony to pony. It was a difficult choice.

Xia Ling said to the staff, “This is my child’s first time learning how to ride a horse. We want a horse that has a gentle temperament.”

The staff smiled and said, “Miss Ye, don’t worry. These horses are all not bad and have received special training for children to ride them. They won’t act wildly.” In his heart, he was a little curious as to why Miss Ye and her son were with Mr. Li. They seemed like a family of three on an outing.

He could not help but stare at the three of them as he wanted to know the gossip.

Unfortunately, he had undergone rigorous training to be able to work at such a high-status club. Even though he wanted to know the gossip, he could not leak guest information and was destined to be unable to share the gossip with anyone.

The staff was very sad, really.

He cheered himself up and continued to introduce the ponies. “No matter which pony young master is interested in, you can ride it. You can also buy it as your exclusive horse and we will provide a special stable for it.”

After hearing him, Li Lei told the child, “If you like it, I can buy it for you as a gift.”

“Is it really ok?” The child was very happy.

Li Lei smiled and nodded.

The value of a horse was very high, especially the high-quality breed. They really burned money like paper.

The staff was surprised. Considering Mr. Li’s status, although buying a horse like this was not a big deal, the problem was that he was buying it for someone else’s child. Someone else’s!

What an expensive gift.

He snuck a glance at Miss Ye beside him and saw that Miss Ye did not refuse. Could it be that the rumor was true? Were they actually secretly back together all this while?!

The staff wanted to cry. He really wanted the gossip.

Shaohui happily said, “That’s awesome! I will have my own pony soon.”

The small child paced back and forth, trying to pick a favorite horse. However, they were all too beautiful and it was a tough decision to make.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a lonely pony standing in the corner of the stable.

The pony’s fur was dull and it looked very weak as if it could not stand still. When it saw that someone was looking at it, it cowardly took a step back and nervously swayed its tail.

Shaohui walked over and looked at it for a while.

“What’s wrong with it?” He turned around to ask the staff. “Is it sick?”

The staff sighed. “There was an accident during the breeding. The parents of this pony are a purebred horse and a hybrid horse. Ever since birth, it has been very weak and fell sick. The cost of treatment is very high and it’s not a good variety of horse. After a few days, it will be euthanized.”

Shaohui’s face fell. He looked at the pony sympathetically. After a moment, he extended his little hand and touched the pony’s nose. He whispered, “You want to live, right?”

He turned around and looked at the adults. “I want this one.”

The staff was very shocked. “Young Master, how about you reconsider? It’s only a sick pony.”

The staff could not understand it. Horse owners at the Southern Mountain Racing Horse Club only owned famous breeds because they wanted their horses to be more outstanding than others. Only this child was unorthodox. The staff thought. If the child really bought this horse to care for it, in the future, the VIP area of the Southern Mountain Racing Horse Club will suddenly have an ugly little monster among the group of gorgeous and splendid horses. It’s really a disaster...

The staff was itching to say something and looked at Li Lei inquiringly. Even though your child is playing around, you shouldn’t play around with him! If people found out that this inferior horse was chosen by this child, those who do not know the situation will think that you were stingy with the present. You will be the embarrassed one!

However, Li Lei only smiled and looked at the child warmly. “Do you really want it?”

“I really want it!” The child insisted.

“Ok.” Li Lei turned around and said to the staff, “We will be buying this horse. Prepare the best stable and medical treatment for it. Put the fees on my account.”

The staff was speechless.

He did not understand a rich man’s world.

After the small child received the horse as a gift, he was very happy and affectionately touched the pony’s skinny body. “From now on, you will be my companion!”

At first, the pony was a little shy, but after the child comforted it, it quickly calmed down.

Looking at her child and pony, Xia Ling did not know whether to laugh or cry. She remembered that in the past, she especially went all around the world to compare bloodlines and consult experts to breed a perfect horse. She spent more than a year before she took a special plane back with Valiant Song from the UK.

As for her child?

He wanted a naturally inferior horse that was about to die. Was he really her biological son?

She glanced at Li Lei and remembered that his father also had the habit of taking care of helpless pets. She was in a complicated mood... Her child’s father took in a leopard for god’s sake!

As if he saw through her thoughts, Li Lei smiled. “This child is like you. Hairball was adopted by you.” That little stray cat was not of a prestigious breed.

Xia Ling was speechless.
