Lin Ruonan saw the tall and straight figure as soon as she entered the ski resort. When she saw the girl beside him, her pupils suddenly contracted, and her heart tightened painfully.
Gu Haoyu watched the woman’s every move closely, quietly shifting half a step closer to her. He stood protectively beside her, silently offering her maximum comfort.
"A competition is a competition. I’ve been itching to unleash my inner universe. Agreed, the loser will have to treat us."
Lin Junyang hollered, noticing Mu Xingfeng standing next to An Ran. He wore a long black coat, looking handsome and cool, without any intention of moving, so Lin Junyang walked over.
"No way, Second Brother, you’re not planning to ski today?"
Everyone knew that skiing was one of Mu Xingfeng’s favorite sports.
"Not skiing," Mu Xingfeng replied calmly.
"Then why did you come to the ski resort?" Lin Junyang asked, puzzled.
Lin Junyang’s mouth twitched. "What’s so special about the snow?"
Mu Xingfeng didn’t answer, but instead looked at An Ran. Seeing her little face glowing with excitement, holding a handful of snow, Lin Junyang yelled, "Damn, my poor eyes, give this bachelor a break!"
He’d been too focused on convincing Mu Xingfeng to ski, completely forgetting An Ran was from the south and had never seen snow.
Second Brother had given up his favorite sport just to watch the snow with Tuzi. This sudden dog food caught him off guard.
Seeing Lin Junyang’s dramatic reaction, An Ran looked at Mu Xingfeng, "Are you really good at skiing?"
"More than just good. Let me tell you, Second Sister-in-law, Second Brother’s skiing skills are on par with professional athletes," Lin Junyang chimed in.
"Really? Mu Xingfeng, go ahead, I’ll cheer you on." An Ran truly wanted to see Mu Xingfeng ski.
Honestly, Mu Xingfeng was mesmerizing no matter what he did. In the training ground, he was a stern Instructor Mu, in the kitchen, he was homely and warm, and in the study, he had a bit of the Overbearing President charm. She knew she was already enamored with this man and wanted to see more of him.
Mu Xingfeng readjusted An Ran’s scarf, "Not today," he said.
He couldn’t leave her alone here.
"Go, go, get first place and you’ll get a big kiss as a reward," An Ran shook his arm, her soft voice like cotton candy.
"..." Lin Junyang, standing beside them.
Boss Mu, where are your principles?
Before changing into his ski gear, Mu Xingfeng repeatedly reminded An Ran. Shen Wenxuan walked over, "Go ahead, I’ll wait here for you guys."
Mu Xingfeng knew Shen Wenxuan didn’t like skiing and only came to accompany his sister. Hearing this, he finally felt relieved, ruffling An Ran’s hair, "Be good and wait for me."
An Ran nodded enthusiastically, waved to him, and then blew a kiss.
Though simple, the gesture caused a deep fire to ignite in Mu Xingfeng’s eyes. He wanted to pull her into his arms and kiss her fiercely.
That cheeky girl, Mu Xingfeng muttered under his breath as he entered the changing room.
People who were already dressed in their ski gear boarded the ski lift up the mountain. Soon, only Shen Wenxuan, An Ran, and a few women who didn’t plan to ski remained.
Shen Wenxuan took out a pair of women’s sunglasses and handed them to An Ran, "Ran, wear these, they’re good for your eyes."
