Chapter 59: He's Interested In You

When Su Ruan returned to her seat, she found that the table was full of food, and her cousin, Ma Yu Xi was still talking to Long Fei's cousin about a few scenic places in the town.

Hearing her footsteps, Ma Yu Xi turned around and looked up with a smile. "Sister Ruan, come over. We were just talking about a few fishing spots in this town and Mr. Long said he knew a good place and invited us to come over with them."

Su Ruan looked at her cousin with a dazed expression. She had merely left the room a while ago and this group was already making plans to go fishing?

When did Ma Yu Xi and these guys become this close?

Meanwhile, Long Fei lowered his head to hide the smile on his face. He was still thinking of a plan to draw Su Ruan closer to him.

Just now, he was about to find an opportunity to ask Su Ruan out when he overheard the conversation between Long Yu Heng and Ma Yu Xi.

His gaze shifted to his cousin and Long Fei was secretly thankful for this person's unintentional help.

"Your cousin was mentioning about a few fishing spots she had frequently go to," Long Yu Heng said. "I mentioned my favorite spot and Miss Ma said she has never visited them before."

Ma Yu Xi stared at her cousin and blinked. "Sister Ruan, let's go."

The corner of her lips started to twitch. How could Ma Yu Xi easily accept a stranger's invitation?

"Why didn't I know that you like fishing?" Su Ruan asked.

"After working at the orchard for the whole day, going fishing can be very relaxing," Ma Yu Xi said. "In the past, I always followed my father around during our off day.."

Su Ruan had only returned to the town for a few days. There were a lot of things that she was not very familiar with about her mother's side of the family.

"Sister Ruan, I haven't taken you around the lake on a boat, right? We can use this opportunity to bring you sightseeing around this lake."

Su Ruan saw the pleading look on her cousin's face and suddenly had an incoming headache. Ma Yu Xi continued to look at her expectantly and after a few seconds, her resolve began to move.

"Alright," Su Ruan finally gave in. "You know this place best. I'll follow whatever arrangement you have for me."

Anyway, Su Ruan did not think that she would be able to let her cousin go with the guys alone. It would be better if she followed and keep her eyes on her cousin.

Hearing her answer, Ma Yu Xi started to smile happily.

Su Ruan sat down and ate her breakfast. At the side, Ma Yu Xi continued to make plans with Long Yu Heng regarding their fishing trip together.

After their breakfast ended, Ma Yu Xi was surprised that Long Fei had already settled their bills.

Initially, she planned to treat them breakfast as Long Fei and the others had helped Su Ruan to come down the mountain safely. She did not think that Long Fei would be the one to treat their breakfast instead.

"How much is the meal? I'll pay you back." Ma Yu Xi looked at Long Fei anxiously.

Although she was able to get along with Long Yu Heng and Fu Xing well, she still found that Long Fei was a little difficult to get along with. Long Fei was the young master of the Long family and Ma Yu Xi did not dream to be close to someone like him.

"Miss Ma, it's fine." Long Fei flashed an amiable smile at them. "I wouldn't feel at ease to let the lady pay for the meal."

Ma Yu Xi's cheek was tinted pink. "This… wouldn't do. After all, I was the one who invited you to have breakfast together."

"It's fine." Long Fei pondered for a while and spoke, "How about this, if you wanted to thank me, then how about sending over a box of cherries to my place?"

Hearing his words, Ma Yu Xi's expression began to light up. "Then, it's settled. I will ask someone to deliver a box of cherries to you later."

Long Fei glanced at Su Ruan and smiled.

It seemed that to get closer to Su Ruan, he might have to get closer to her family members first. Ma Yu Xi seemed a very good place for him to start. Ma Yu Xi might be a little reserved around him but unlike Su Ruan, she did not have her guards up all the time.

After exchanging a few words, the group finally parted.

As Long Fei and his men had some business in the town center, Su Ruan and Ma Yu XI did not ask much and turned around to leave.

The window rolled down and Su Ruan leaned in her seat while watching the scenery outside. At the side, Ma Yu Xi was singing along to the song on the radio.

Feeling slightly cold, Su Ruan rolled the windows up and turned to her cousin. Sensing her gaze, Ma Yu Xi turned down the radio and smiled.

"Sister Ruan, what did you and Young Master Long talk about when the two of you were outside?"

Su Ruan recalled turning around after the phone call with Yu Zhi Yi and finding Long Fei waiting for her outside the restaurant. "Nothing much. He said he came out only to inform me that the food has arrived."

Su Ruan definitely did not want to tell her cousin about her strange conversation with Long Fei earlier. She still did not understand why Long Fei would ask her those questions.

"Oh." Ma Yu Xi sighed. There was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Su Ruan laughed. "Why do you look disappointed?"

Ma Yu Xi glanced at her cousin. After giving a few thoughts, the smile on her face widened. "Sister Ruan, what do you think about Young Master Long Fei?"

Her eyes narrowed. "Ma Yu Xi, don't tell me that you are interested in him?" A teasing smile curled on her lips.

"No way! Sister Ruan, it's not like that." Ma Yu Xi looked at Su Ruan with her eyes wide before she focused on the road again. "I have no interest in him. However, I do think that he is interested in you."

The smile on her face quickly faded away. After a few seconds, Su Ruan began to laugh. "How is that possible? Don't joke around with me."

"I'm not. You didn't know this, but after you leave the restaurant to answer the call, Young Master Long's eyes were on you all the time. From the look at it, I think that he's interested in you. Otherwise, how can he be so kind to treat us for a meal?"

"You're thinking too much. He was being courteous." Su Ruan rolled her eyes, too lazy to listen to her cousin's nonsense.. A few seconds later, she began to ponder about Ma Yu Xi's words again, and then, she quickly dismissed that thought.
