Chapter 103: The Continuation Of The Legend

In the evening, Su Ruan switched off her laptop and quickly changed her clothes to get ready for her appointment with Long Fei.

After applying a layer of lip balm, Su Ruan headed downstairs and ran into her mother who was working on the computer.

Hearing that her daughter was going out with that young master again, Ma Zheng Zheng was not worried. Until this time, she still believed that her daughter was going to meet the young master to discuss work matters.

Su Ruan heaved in relief when her mother did not ask her questions that she did not know how to answer.

Su Ruan had thought that she was no longer in trouble but who would have thought that the moment she stepped outside, she would run into her cousin, Ma Yu Xi.

The girl stared back at her with excitement written on her face. "Sister Ruan! Guess who I just saw outside?"

Hearing her question, Su Ruan already had a premonition.

"It's Young Master Long Fei!" Ma Yu Xi exclaimed. There were twinkles in her eyes. "I wonder why did he come over to our orchard again?"

Su Ruan pursed her lips, wondering how was she supposed to tell her cousin that the man came to pick her up.

Until now, Su Ruan still did not know how she should explain her relationship with Long Fei. She was aware that the man was interested in her but they were not lovers.

Su Ruan coughed as she tried to find an excuse to escape his situation.

It was at this time that Ma Yu Xi sensed something from her cousin. "Sister Ruan, you are all dressed up. Are you going somewhere?" Her gaze fell on the pair of sneakers on Su Ruan's feet.

Su Ruan took a deep breath and decided to tell the truth. "That… Young Master Long is here to pick me up."

Ma Yu Xi stared at her cousin with her eyes wide. A thought came to her mind, and her mouth opened slightly. It seemed that she had something to say but did not know where to start.

"Yu Xi, let's talk about this later." Su Ruan stepped aside, preparing to make her escape. "I don't want to make him wait."

Before Ma Yu Xi could ask any question, Su Ruan had already escaped. Ma Yu Xi narrowed her eyes and planned to come over earlier to ask a few questions from her cousin.

When Su Ruan almost reached Long Fei's 4WD, the man stepped out of the vehicle and looked at her with a deep frown on his face. "Why are you running again?"

"It's nothing." Su Ruan laughed softly, not wanting to explain about her escaping from her cousin. "Where are we going?"

At a time like this, it was better to change the subject.

"The lake. I told you that I will take you to a few scenic places."

"Alright." Su Ruan naturally did not have any objection.

Long Fei helped her with the door and watched her as she slid into the passenger's seat. Then, he walked around the car and climbed into the driver's seat.

As Long Fei started to drive, the two of them chatted about the article that Su Ruan was requested to write for Blue Media.

In the past few days, Su Ruan has been exchanging some emails with the editor to talk about the articles that she was going to write. Since Long Fei is the top management of the company, Su Ruan thought that it would be better to get his opinion on some matters as well.

After driving for a while, the vehicle finally pulled a stop.

Su Ruan had thought that Long Fei was going to take her to the town center and the two of them were going to take the boat. But this time, Long Fei drove around the lake and finally stopped at a quiet spot.

Looking around, Su Ruan saw that they were surrounded by nature. At the side was the tall mountain and a few meters ahead was the lake water.

Su Ruan pursed her lips into a thin line, wondering why did Long Fei always brought her to a quiet place each time they go out.

She wondered if she should start to be aware of her safety.

"Come on. I promise you that this place is very safe."

Su Ruan watched as Long Fei alighted from the driver's seat and soon followed him out. After going out with Long Fei a few times, Su Ruan thought that he was someone that she could trust. Su Ruan believed that he would not do anything that will harm her.

The two of them walked for a certain distance and finally stood at the side to watch the lake water.

"Why did you bring me here?" Su Ruan looked around. Although she could not deny that the place had beautiful scenery, there were a few other spots with a prettier scene in this town.

"I remember that you seemed interested in the legend in this town." Long Fei smiled as he observed her expression.

"The lake dragon?"

"Are you still curious to know the continuation of the legend?"

Su Ruan nodded. The story was related to her little dragon. Of course, Su Ruan would want to know more.

"Last time, I told you that someone had rescued the dragon after he was captured by a group of greedy villagers." Long Fei walked along the lake and finally stopped. "According to the legend, this was the place where the dragon was locked up."

Her eyes widened when she heard his words. She looked around and tried to imagine where did those people had kept the dragon.

"Did you see that place?" Long Fei pointed his finger to one spot where it was surrounded by tall trees. "There is an entrance to a cave behind those trees. Years ago, the dragon was dragged into the cave where he was not given any food or water. As a lake dragon, he grew weaker when he had to stay away from the water."

Su Ruan imagined her little friend being captured by the hunters and had to experience the same thing. Her heart ached and Su Ruan found that it was a little difficult to breathe.

"Do you think that the lake dragon really exists?"
