Chapter 562 This Woman Is a Demon
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ian’s acupuncture lasted for more than an hour.
The three men who originally planned to catch some rabbits and pheasants in the mountain did not expect the temperature to take a sudden drop. What was originally a light falling of snow had suddenly turned into
heavy snow.
Looking at the falling snow, Ian was a little worried. “It’s snowing so heavily, will the pathway for us to get down from the mountains get sealed?”
Dou Zerui answered, “There’s no need to worry. My cousin definitely has a method for us to get back if that happens.”
Ian glanced at Zi Yi who was standing next to Lu Jingye and he thought to himself, “Jt seems like other than having a bad habit of spending money, she is still rather capable.”
Zi Yi tilted her head, looked in his direction, and gave him a smile. “Ian, do you want to go skiing?”
“How? Don’t tell me my allergies won’t act up after receiving acupuncture once from you?”
“No, what I meant was, we’ll go skiing and you’ll watch us having fun from the side.”
Ian intended to take back what he had thought to himself earlier.
This woman is a demon.
As soon as she said that, she did not even bother to wait for Ian’s answer and turned to Lu Jingye. “I’ll go and call my cousin. Let’s go skiing together.”
Lu Jingye nodded his head.
Zi Yi was about to head outside the courtyard when Lu Jingye pulled her wrist and said, “Wear your hood.”
Zi Yi was wearing a white down jacket and it came with a hood.
Zi Yi nodded her head and lifted the hood before she went outside.
The five of them directly headed to the ski resort with the equipment in hand.
The ski resort had a large slope and there were some pines and cypresses planted at the bottom of the slope. If one was skilled enough, they could try to maneuver and slide past the pines and cypresses. There were
not many obstacles such as stones on the slope.
Zi Yi and the others wore their ski clothes, leaving Ian to stand to the side alone.
Ian had a handsome appearance. His profound facial features were unique to western countries. His blond hair that was contrasted against the white snow, together with the noble aura he gave off, made him appear
like a charming landscape, even if he merely just stood there.
They had come there to ski and so, the owner of the villa had arranged for some staff members to follow them and assist whenever possible.
The group of staff members were gathered together as they whispered about Ian. Their presence made it so that Ian was only able to keep up his current expression.
Just then, Dou Xiangling glanced at Ian and whispered to Zi Yi, “Yiyi, why do I feel that Ian is very uncomfortable?”
Zi Yi also took a glance in his direction before her lips curled up and she said, “He’s fine. He must be wanting to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor but due to the acupuncture earlier, his body is hurting and he wants
to relax but can’t at the same time. So, the end result is the current expression he’s wearing on his face right now.”
Zi Yi thought of the first time they had met Ian. He had a pair of aloof eyes and an indifferent gaze.
Since this person likes to pretend, then he can slowly pretend as much as he wants.
“Let’s go skiing.”
As soon as Zi Yi said that, she immediately traveled a distance away in her skis.
Dou Zerui, who had already started sliding down the slope, called for Dou Xiangling. “Xiangling, hurry and come down.”
Dou Xiangling responded with an ‘ok’ and followed suit very soon.
When Ian saw that the four of them had gone far away, he finally turned around and walked towards the staff members who were standing in the distance.
As soon as they noticed Ian walking in their direction, they were so excited that they covered their mouths and screamed uncontrollably.
“Ahhhh! The handsome guy is coming towards us.”
“What does he want?”
“All of you, don’t steal this opportunity from me. I want to talk to him.”
“Why? I want to talk to him too.”
The moment Ian walked over to the group of female staff members, they instantly raised their heads and revealed ladylike appearances.
Ian spoke in a gentlemanly and strong tone. “Ladies, we don’t need any service here. Please return.”
The staff were screaming about how handsome he was deep down in their hearts, while they subconsciously became alert.
“But…”
“Oh okay, we’ll leave right away.”
The female staff members turned around and descended from the mountain while he stared at their back views.
Ian was satisfied with their behavior. As soon as they left, he finally stretched his arms and legs and breathed a sigh of relief.
After moving around, the areas where he received the acupuncture did not seem to be as painful as before.
Only then was he in the mood to look down the slope.
There was no need to mention how carefree the four people were while they slid around the woods.
Ian’s gaze subconsciously turned to look at Zi Yi and Lu Jingye. However, he shifted his gaze away after taking a glance before he muttered in a sour tone, “These two are too much. Why is there a need to hold hands
while skiing? Can’t they each just ski on their own?”
While he muttered to himself, his gaze shifted and he looked towards Dou Xiangling.
“As expected of a young lady from a scholarly family. Even her posture while skiing is so pleasing to the eye.”
Dou Xiangling paid attention to safety the most when she skied and her speed was not exactly very fast. After lan watched for some time, he turned his attention to Dou Zerui.
He was also sliding rather steadily. He would also turn to look at Dou Xiangling from time to time and was clearly worried that she might fall down and get injured.
After he watched on for some time, he suddenly felt envious. “I feel like having a younger sister.”
The four of them skied around the woods and Zi Yi felt that it was not exactly challenging here. She then said to Lu Jingye, “Ah Jing, let’s go somewhere further to ski.”
How could Lu Jingye not know of her thoughts? “If you go further, it would be outside the area of the ski resort. There are many obstacles there.”
“Why does that matter? You’re here with me anyways.”
Lu Jingye was overjoyed by Zi Yi’s undisguised trust in him and agreed.
Zi Yi went to inform Dou Xiangling and Dou Zerui.
Dou Zerui also wanted to go with her and he asked Dou Xiangling, “Xiangling, do you want to go?”
Dou Xiangling waved at the three of them. “My skills aren’t the best. I’ll slide around here for a while longer before going back up.”
Hearing what she said, the three of them went further and further away.
While Dou Xiangling was sliding around alone, all of a sudden, a rabbit jumped across in front of her.
“AH-!”
Dou Xiangling got a fright and fell down into the snow.
The snow here was very thick. Her ski equipment flew away when she fell while she sank into the snow, like a turtle who was lying on its back.
As soon as Ian saw her fall, he hastily ran down to help her up. “Dou, are you alright?”
Dou Xiangling’s face was flushed red. She had never been so embarrassed before in front of an outsider.
Ian lifted her up, but Dou Xiangling was too embarrassed to even look at him. “Thanks, I’m fine.”
Having said that, she went to look for her skis.
Ian followed her gaze and both of them were amused at the scene they saw.
“Dou, your skis are holding down that rabbit.”
The rabbit was trapped in the snow and it exposed its four limbs as it struggled left and right. The more it struggled, the deeper it sank.
After ensuring that Dou Xiangling was standing steadily, he released her arm and went to lift the rabbit.
Dou Xiangling looked at the greyish fluffy rabbit. She did not even have the spare thoughts to think about her flushed complexion as she walked toward Ian. “This rabbit is so big and fat. Could it be a pet raised by the
owner?”
“No matter what, we can bring it back to roast it tonight.” As soon as he said that, he held the rabbit towards Dou Xiangling with the intention to have her touch it.
Dou Xiangling got a fright and her body subconsciously leaned back. Due to that action of hers, she nearly fell down again.
Ian’s long arms stretched out and pulled her back to her feet.
“Dou, be careful.”
“…Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. Why don’t we make our way up?”
“Okay.”
Ian reached out his hand towards Dou Xiangling and a gentlemanly smile curled up on his lips. “I’ll pull you along.”.
