Chapter 55: Separated

Following the group, Su Ruan began to climb down the mountain while listening to her cousin talking to her about their breakfast spot.

Su Ruan had thought that Ma Yu Xi was going to take her to that bakery café again but as the boy she fancied was on his day off, Ma Yu Xi did not see any point to visit that place.

It turned out that the girl was really visiting that bakery to spy on that boy.

Su Ruan watched the boy from the corner of her eyes and thought her cousin really had good taste. The boy was really good-looking.

Someone from the group approached Ma Yu Xi and began to chat with her about their orchard.

Su Ruan took this chance to snap a few photos and planned to upload them to her social media when she got back.

But perhaps, the morning was a bit cold and the trail that they used was filled with fogs. When Su Ruan looked up again, she realized that she has been separated from the group and could no longer hear their voices.

A few cursing words escaped her. Su Ruan stood still at her position and wondered what she was supposed to do next.

Taking a deep breath, she told herself not to panic ad observe her surroundings first. Fortunately, the fog was not so thick and she could still see everything around her.

Finding that the trail seemed a little familiar, Su Ruan began to contemplate whether she should head down on her own, or wait on the spot for a while.

If she was not mistaken, there were a few small groups that decided to stay around the peak to take some pictures. Perhaps, if she waited, she would run into them, and then she could follow them down.

Her movement halted the moment she heard a little movement coming from her east. Her heartbeat accelerated, wondering if she might stumble into some animals.

"Miss Su?"

Hearing that familiar voice, Su Ruan did not know whether she should be relieved or worried. Turning around, Su Ruan could see Long Fei and his friends walking over to her.

"Why are you here alone?" Long Fei asked. "Why aren't you with your group?"

Her gaze shifted towards the two men that were walking with Long Fei. If she was not mistaken, one of them was Long Fei's cousin and the other was his assistant.

"I didn't pay attention and got separated from them," Su Ruan answered.

A light flashed in Long Fei's eyes, but it disappeared quickly before anyone could notice them.

Long Fei certainly did not expect that he would have this fate to run into Su Ruan. Initially, he only planned to make his presence when he decided to show up in the mountain.

He wanted to get closer to Su Ruan slowly until she began to trust that he had no bad intention towards her.

"If you don't mind, we can lead you down," Long Fei said.

Long Fei was very familiar with the mountain and knew that Su Ruan and the others should enter the mountain through the entrance gate.

Su Ruan heaved in relief. "Thank you, President Long. This is my first time coming to the mountain. I'm not very familiar with the trail here."

"It's fine." Long Fei waved his hand. "Just call me Long Fei. Hearing you addressing me as President Long made me think that I am back in Capital City."

Su Ruan smiled but did not answer. The last time, her grandpa had mentioned that everyone in this town would call him Young Master Long. She wondered if she should address him as such as well. After all, Long Fei… seemed a little inappropriate.

Her gaze then fell on Long Fei's assistant. Su Ruan could not help but shiver at the thought that she get to be close to this big shot as well.

While she was doing her homework to prepare for that interview, Su Ruan had learned a few things about Long Fei's assistant, Fu Xing as well.

It was said that whenever President Long Fei was not around in Capital City, Fu Xing would control Blue Media Group and help his boss to make a few decisions.

In the business world, a lot of people respected Fu Xing as well.

"Right, let me introduce you to my companions," Long Fei spoke when he noticed that Su Ruan was looking at them. "Miss Su, you might still remember my cousin, Long Yu Heng."

"Hello, Miss Su." A bright smile curled on his lips. Long Yu Heng had thought that he would have to stand at the side and pretended that he did not exist. He did not expect that Long Fei would introduce him to Su Ruan.

These days, Long Yu Heng found that it was getting hard trying to understand Long Fei's mind.

"And this is my assistant, Fu Xing," Long Fei continued. "Fu Xing, this is Miss Su Ruan."

"Hello, Miss Su." Fu Xing went over to shake his hand with the girl. It was then that he realized that the person in front of him seemed familiar.

Miss Su Ruan? Wasn't she's the one that his boss wanted to employ? Previously, his boss had set up an interview just to hire her.

Back then, Fu Xing was arranged to wait for her arrival downstairs and had seen her picture. However, the last time he had seen her, Su Ruan was wearing makeup. Now that she was on the mountain with no makeup on, Fu Xing almost did not recognize her.

His mouth opened to say something but after meeting his boss's penetrating gaze, Fu Xing quickly took a step back and swallowed the questions he wanted to ask.

Fu Xing's thought went back to his boss's conversation with Long Yu Heng on the peak just now. Suddenly, Fu Xing was looking at Su Ruan in a different light.

Just then, Su Ruan's phone started to ring.

Su Ruan accepted the phone call and heard Ma Yu Xi's anxious tone.

"Sister Ruan! Where are you? I turned around for one second and you are no longer behind us. Tell me your location. I'll go and find you right away."

Ma Yu Xi was scared. If something happened to Su Ruan, then she would not have the courage to face her family. After all, it was her idea to come up the mountain to hike.

"Yu Xi, relax."

Ma Yu Xi wanted to cry. How can she relax in this situation?

"I ran into that Young Master Long and his group," Su Ruan explained.

"Ah?" Ma Yu Xi was shocked.

"He said he will help me to get down."

"Miss Su, just tell your cousin that you will meet her at the parking lot," Long Fei said.

On the other line, Ma Yu Xi heard the man's voice and was finally at ease that her cousin was not alone.

"Yu Xi, just stay with that group first. I'll meet you at the parking lot, alright?"
