Su Ruan was not the only person to notice Long Fei and his people's arrival.
"Young Master Long," Ma Yu Xi gasped.
Initially, the others had not recognized him as it was still a little dark. However, once they heard Ma Yu Xi's voice, they quickly stood up with an anxious look on their faces.
No one had expected that they would run into this big shot here and therefore, they did not know how to react.
Long Fei scanned the faces on the mountain and finally, his gaze stopped at Su Ruan and her cousin. "Miss Ma, Miss Su, good morning."
The others started to whisper among themselves. They were suddenly reminded of the news they heard the other day. It was said that this Young Master had shared a table with Ma Yu Xi and her cousin.
"G-good morning," Ma Yu Xi stuttered. "Are you here to watch the sunrise as well?"
"Mhm… Mind if I join you guys as well?" His gaze shifted to Su Ruan.
Seeing that the man was looking at her, Su Ruan had no other choice but to speak, "Please."
Long Fei flashed a smile. But instead of sitting close to her as Su Ruan was expecting him to do, Long Fei brought his friends to sit at a distance away. Then, he started to speak a few words with his friends, ignoring the others' curious gaze.
For the others, even though they wanted the chance to get close with this young master, no one dared to move carelessly. They have lived in this town long enough to know that they should not do anything that would make Long Fei unhappy.
Long Yu Heng glanced at the person beside him anxiously before he stole a glance at Su Ruan. "Is it fine like this? Long Fei, are you sure you're not going over there to create a chance?"
Long Fei chuckled when he heard his cousin's words. "Didn't you warn me that I should be careful? There are too many people around here. It's easy to create rumors and alerted the elders. Yu Heng, don't be too anxious."
Hearing his words, Long Yu Heng could only suppress his urge to curse.
Who was that person who had snuck out in the middle of the night to get close to the woman? His move was too dangerous. If the elders knew what he was doing or where he was heading to, wouldn't it be dangerous for Miss Su as well?
Who was the anxious one?
Moreover… if he did not have the intention to get close to Miss Su, then why was he forced to wake up early in the morning to hike?
"What are you two talking about?"
Fu Xing was out of breath. He had arrived at the residence last night with a few important documents for his boss. He merely got three hours sleep before his boss woke him up and told him that they were going hiking to watch the sunrise.
He wanted to decline but could not say anything to his big boss.
Unlike the trail that Su Ruan and the others had used as the entrance, Long Fei began to walk from the residence. The trail was long and they had to walk for more than an hour.
"Nothing much." Long Yu Heng smiled. "Fu Xing, if you're tired, just take a rest. " He glanced at his watch and spoke, "The sunrise should start in a few minutes."
Fu Xing looked at the two men and decided not to speak too much. He took out his flask and drank the hot tea. A sigh escaped him as his body warmed up.
Long Fei was secretly watching over Su Ruan when a thought came to his mind. "That's right, we're expecting a guest this weekend. Yu Heng, help me to look after him."
It was rare for the Long Fei to receive a guest. Hearing that Long Fei wanted him to entertain a guest, Long Yu Heng became curious. "Who is it?"
"It's that boy." Long Fei looked away, avoiding his cousin's eyes. "Lu Xun's brother-in-law, Song Wei."
"You want me to babysit?" Long Yu Heng felt an incoming headache.
It would not be the first time for Song Wei to visit this town, but that boy was such a fanboy that he would follow Long Fei anywhere he went to. Long Yu Heng really could not understand what was so good about following Long Fei around.
"It shouldn't be too hard. Just don't let him run into trouble."
"But he's coming to this town to see you."
Long Fei raised a brow. "Didn't you say that I should hurry and bring home a wife? I need to work harder before the elders found out about her first."
Long Yu Heng narrowed his eyes when he could not find any words to refute. It was really not easy for him as Long Fei's right-hand man.
Fu Xing overheard this important conversation and stared at his boss with his eyes wide.
President Long Fei is looking for a wife? Did he already have his target?
Fu Xing thought of how hard it was for him to work for Long Fei. Suddenly, he started to pity the woman that his boss had set his eyes on. It would not be easy for her to deal with President Long Fei's constantly changing mood.
Soon, the surroundings around them started to get brighter.
At the side, Su Ruan took out her phone just like everyone else to record this beautiful sunrise.
The chattering voice became livelier, but still, the group did not dare to talk too loud and make the young masters from Long's family unhappy.
After recording a few videos and taking a few pictures, Su Ruan posted them to her social media and slid her phone back into her pocket.
A water flask appeared in front of her and the smell of coffee wafted around her.
"Sister Ruan, have a drink. It will help you to warm up a little."
Su Ruan took the flask and took a couple of sips. Then, she glanced at the boy who Ma Yu Xi fancied. "I saw the two of you chatting earlier. Did you make any progress?"
"What progress? He was only asking if I was familiar with Young Master Long."
"You fool. Since he took the initiative to speak to you, then you should take this chance to continue the conversation."
Ma Yu Xi heaved a long sigh. "Then what am I supposed to do? The moment I saw him up close, I got so scared to talk to him."
Su Ruan chuckled at her cousin's reaction. Why didn't she realize that Ma Yu Xi was this adorable?
At this time, one of the people from the group suggested that they should prepare to head back.. Su Ruan drank her coffee and finally packed up.
