After exchanging a few words with her cousin and ensuring her that she was alright, Su Ruan followed Long Fei to climb down the mountain.
The man was leading her while his cousin and assistant were walking at the back.
Fu Xing watched Su Ruan and finally turned to Long Yu Heng. They have walked around the mountain for a while and he could no longer suppress his curiosity.
"Yu Heng, tell me… Is President Long is wooing Miss Su?" Fu Xing whispered once he was sure that they were far enough to be heard.
Long Yu Heng glanced at the two people who were walking in front of them but did not say anything.
"Are you not going to tell me anything?" Fu Xing asked again. "I overheard your conversation with President Long earlier. Were you guys talking about Miss Su?"
"Fu Xing, there are certain things that you cannot say out loud." Long Yu Heng continued to look at Long Fei, wondering if this sharp-eared man was listening to their conversation.
Fu Xing heaved a sigh and decided to ask again when the two of them were alone. Meanwhile, his gaze was still on Su Ruan. His intuition was telling him that he had made the right guess.
Meanwhile, Su Ruan continued to be wary around Long Fei.
Although this man had saved her from drowning once, Su Ruan thought that she needed to be cautious around this man after he had mentioned the story about the lake's dragon. She couldn't help but think that Long Fei was not a simple person.
Of course, Long Fei was aware that someone was watching him. Su Ruan's gaze was too penetrating and he couldn't ignore her.
However, her attitude towards him had confirmed his suspicion. Su Ruan was indeed a little afraid of him. He thought about the dreams she had been having the past few days and frowned.
Long Fei had never thought that the reason Su Ruan had never shown up in D Town again was that she had seen him shift during their childhood.
Back then, she had promised that she would come back to visit him again.
The young him would often sneak into the orchard just to find her. However, he had never seen her again. Later, he began to suspect that perhaps, the girl he was looking for was not related to the Ma family.
Because of that, finding her got more difficult. He had almost given up until he pick up the scent of her blood in her friend's car.
"This isn't the trail that we use to climb up." Su Ruan broke up the silence between them.
She has been keeping her eyes on Long Fei for a long time and finally realized that the trail that Long Fei had used was different.
Long Fei turned around and smiled. "There are a few trails that would lead you to the peak. I'm not sure which trail did you and our friends had taken when you climbed up earlier. But rest assured, this trail will also lead you to see your cousin."
Su Ruan smiled. She hoped that this young master would not misunderstand that she had thought of him as a trafficker.
"Actually, this was the easiest trail to climb down from this mountain. The trail is not that steep and this will save a lot of time for us to climb down."
Since Su Ruan had spoken, Long Fei wanted to use this chance to continue to speak with her. Perhaps, he could prove to her that he was not a dangerous man.
Long Fei slowed down to let Su Ruan catch up so that the two of them would be able to walk closer. His lips curled into a smile when Su Ruan got closer to him. The blood in his body grew warmer as he felt her presence.
"Miss Su, you have been in this town for a few days now. Have you visited a lot of places?"
"Not really. These past few days, I have been accompanying my mother and grandparents," Su Ruan answered.
Initially, she did not want to engage in any conversation with Long Fei. However, this man was helping her and she did not want to be seen as rude.
Saying a few words would not do her any harm, right?
"Then, I hope that you are planning to stay in this town longer. There are a lot of interesting places in this town. It would be a shame if you did not visit them all."
"Mhmm… I've heard my cousin and grandpa mentioned a few attraction places. I will surely visit them before I leave."
Long Fei pondered for a while and spoke "If you need someone as a tour guide, you can always ask me. I know a lot of good spots to visit and activities to do."
From the corner of his eyes, Long Fei could see that Long Yu Heng was trying to sneak and listen to their conversation. He shot him a warning glance and Long Yu Heng quickly gave up on his idea.
That busybody...
"I shouldn't trouble you."
"It's not a trouble. After all, I'm on holiday and did not have many things to do."
Su Ruan was finding his words hard to believe. How could a big boss such as Long Fei had not many things to do.
"We will see." Su Ruan did not want to make a promise.
The two of them continued to walk down the mountain. Long Fei lowered his head to hide his smile. It seemed that he needed to think of something to trick Su Ruan to go out with him.
Otherwise, how else could the two of them get closer?
After walking for almost twenty minutes, the group finally arrived at the parking lot where Ma Yu Xi had parked her pickup truck.
The moment Ma Yu Xi saw her cousin, she quickly lurched forward and pulled Su Ruan into a tight hug. She was still feeling guilty that she had lost Su Ruan in the mountain.
It was Su Ruan who had to help Ma Yu Xi to calm down.
Just as they were planning to leave the place, Ma Yu Xi realized that there was another problem.
Since Long Fei and his group had accompanied Su Ruan down, it would be difficult for them to return to their residence. After all, Long Fei and his group had climbed up the mountain through the trail closer to his place.
After thinking for a while, Ma Yu Xi decided to offer the men a lift with her pickup truck.
