Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
To be honest, Dou Xiangling wanted to have some alone time to calm down her emotions. Instead of replying to him, she said, “Yiyi and the rest have gone skiing in the back mountain. You can find the boss of the villa to lead you over to them.” an was not in arush. He glanced at the igloo-like space and asked out of concern, “Dou, isn’t it too cold for you to be painting here?”
He then noticed that she did not wear a coat. (It was warm inside the igloo structure, so Dou Xiangling had removed her coat.) He thought for a moment and out of his gentlemanly habits, he took off his coat and passed it to her.
Dou Xiangling blanked out momentarily as she looked at the coat he had passed to her. an said, “Why didn’t you wear a coat? You will definitely catch a cold like this and I can’t possibly see a lady catch a cold without helping.”
Dou Xiangling subconsciously took a step back, which revealed the coat she had taken off laying inside. an saw her coat and asked out of surprise, “Why did you take off your coat?” “It’s not cold inside.”
Dou Xiangling saw his blond hair flying wildly in all directions and hastily said, “Please put on your coat quickly. It’s cold outside.” an was indeed feeling a little cold. Since Dou Xiangling had a coat, he wore his coat again. “Why don’t I have someone rent an RV out for you so that you can sit inside and paint?”
Dou Xiangling paused and then said, “There is no need for that, I’m fine like this.” an reached out his hand to test the temperature inside. It was indeed warm and he revealed an amazed expression. “How did you manage to do it?” “Yiyi made a thermal generator for me.”
Dou Xiangling stretched out her hand and pointed to somewhere next to Ian. an turned around with the intention of taking a look. However, his leather shoes seemed to have stepped on a block of ice as he slipped and fell.
BAM!
BANG! “Ow!”
Dou Xiangling looked on helplessly at Ian who had fallen on his back, and at the same time, he had accidentally kicked the thermal generator and it had flown down the hillside.
After freezing up momentarily, she thought to herself how painful it must have been. an’s fall was obviously rather painful and it was his two bodyguards who ran over to help him get on his feet. tt was Ian’s second time being humiliated as such in front of Dou Xiangling. While his head was hurting, he felt extremely embarrassed.
Dou Xiangling sensed his embarrassment and said, “Why don’t you head inside the villa’s hall to take a seat?” an subconsciously touched the back of his head. Sure enough, there was a huge lump. He tried his best to keep a straight face, so as to not let Dou Xiangling notice that he was about to faint from the pain. He then said to one of his bodyguards, “Go and pick up that thermal generator.”
When his bodyguard went to retrieve the thermal generator, Ian noticed that Dou Xiangling had yet to wear her coat and he suggested. “Dou, I think it’s better for you to wear your coat. Otherwise you might catch a cold.”
Dou Xiangling did not feel cold and said, “It’s fine.”
She then started to pack up her painting tools. an wanted to head over to help.
Dou Xiangling glanced at him. “The space inside here is small, so don’t come in.” an’s footsteps paused.
Just then, the bodyguard managed to retrieve the thermal generator and sure enough, it was broken.
Dou Xiangling looked at the thermal generator and felt inexplicably agitated. She put away her painting tools in silence and walked out from the shelter with her coat in her hand. an felt even more guilty at the sight of her expression. He hastily rushed over to help her carry the painting tools in her hand and said apologetically, “Dou, let me help you with the painting tools. I’m really sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose… How much is this thermal generator? Can I compensate you?”
Dou Xiangling knew that she should not unleash her anger on someone else and said, “Yiyi made this so you can ask her how much she needs.”
She did not say anything else after that and headed towards the entrance of the villa with her coat in hand. an carried Dou Xiangling’s painting tools and looked at her, who had disappeared in a flash. He managed to come to a conclusion. “It seems like I really made her angry.”
Just then, one of his bodyguards said, “Young Master, let me carry the painting tools instead.” an glanced at the bodyguard and narrowed his eyes out of displeasure. He then pursed his lips and went chasing towards the entrance of the villa.
The bodyguard felt his heart shake. He was somewhat confused about the situation.
What did he say wrongly?
When Ian entered the villa, the boss had quickly come out to greet him.
Previously Lu Jingye had informed him that there would be a guest coming. Miss Dou had also informed him of it just moments ago and now that he had seen the appearance of the guest, he could not help but sigh.
The guests of the Second Young Master Lu are all important individuals from powerful backgrounds.
With a single glance, he could discern that Ian was a foreign noble. “Mr. Ian, welcome to [Jade Sea Hot Spring Villa]. I am the boss here and my surname is Wan. Please come in.”
Ian immediately revealed a noble-like expression and nodded.
Boss Wan added. “Mr. Ian, I wonder if you would like to take a seat here first or will you be heading to your place of residence right away?” “To the residence.” He had taken a fall earlier and Ian wanted to have a change of clothes. Not to mention, he was carrying Dou Xiangling’s painting tools in his hands right now. “I hope my courtyard will be somewhere near where Miss Dou and the rest are staying. I’ll have to trouble you with that.”
Boss Wan was a little flustered. “It’s no trouble, it’s no trouble. Mr. Ian, please follow me.”
The boss led Ian and his bodyguards towards the back area.
As soon as they left, the group of young staff members gathered together and chatted excitedly. “Oh gosh, that man looks so handsome and gentlemanly. The noble air around him is so prominent.” “Sure enough, birds of the same feather flock together. Mr. Lu who had booked the entire villa also gives off a noble aura.” “I’m so excited. I wonder if there will be other friends of Mr. Lu coming over. If a few more of them come, it will also be good for us to have an eye feast.”
When Zi Yi and the rest knew of Ian’s arrival, they ended their skiing and returned to the hot springs villa.
While walking Dou Zerui said in an unconvinced tone, “Yiyi, didn’t you say you couldn’t ski? Why is your skiing better than mine?”
When they went to the skiing place earlier, this girl still said that she did not know how to ski. Dou Zerui originally thought that it was time to show off his majesty as an older brother.
He even said that he would teach her back then.
However, after they skied for one round, she started skiing even better than he did.
Zi Yi firmly denied that she could ski. “I can’t ski at all.”
Having said that, she looked at Lu Jingye who was walking next to her and the corner of her lips curled up. “It’s Ah Jing who taught me well.”
Dou Zerui paused and then said, “Haha! I only saw that you purposely acted cute with him and I didn’t see how he had taught you.”
Lu Jingye tilted his head and glanced at Dou Zerui’s expression. His lips curled up and when he held Zi Yi’s hand, he noticed that her hands were a little chilly and so, he quickly held both her hands. “If you like skiing, we’ll come again in the afternoon.”
Zi Yi nodded her head. “Sounds good. Let’s call my cousin and Ian to come along too.” “Okay.”
When the three of them arrived at the vicinity of the place they were living at, they saw Ian standing outside Dou Xiangling’s courtyard and calling out to her. “Miss Dou, are you there?”
There was no response from inside.
The three of them sped up their pace. “Ian, what are you doing?”
Ian heard someone calling out to him and turned around to look at them. He pointed at the painting tools next to his feet and said, “I’m here to deliver Miss Dou’s painting tools to her.”.
