Chapter 273: Brought Your Wife To Watch The Sunrise
James raised his brows. “Changqing isn’t happy with her husband?”
“Everyone thought they would get divorced then.” Guan Ying sighed. She roughly explained the situation between Song Chuyi and Changqing to James but excluded the part that she was also Song Chuyi’s ex-girlfriend.
“In that case, Changqing is quite pitiful,” James lamented. “No wonder she wanted a divorce.”
“Mm.” Guan Ying remained silent with mixed feelings.
At this time, she was suddenly glad that she didn’t marry Song Chuyi then.
With a brother like that and a father like that, even if she really got married, Song Chuyi’s heart wouldn’t be with her and her outcome might’ve been even worse than Changqing’s.
At the Yan Household’s dining table in the early morning.
Lin Yiqin picked up a perfectly cooked sunny-side-up egg with his fork and put it on Changxin’s plate.
Changxin took a bite and the egg yolk exploded in her mouth. “Hubby, well done.”
“Then do I deserve a reward?” Lin Yiqin’s face moved over.
Changqing put her cup of soymilk down heavily and said lightly, “Sis, go back home quickly with brother-in-law. Don’t stay here every day.”
How depressing. They were being affectionate to each other every day in front of her. Did they consider the feelings of her as a woman who was about to face a divorce?
“Hubby, let’s tone it down.” Changxin coughed and gave Lin Yiqin a meaningful glance. “I just thought that I could stay, keep you company and talk to you since you’re feeling down.”
“No, there’s no need.” Changqing turned her face away with a snort.
Changxin hit the back of her hand with her chopsticks. “Let me tell you something interesting. Yesterday, when I was working at the hospital, I actually saw Song Chulang, who just finished his follow-up. I heard he was beaten up by someone and even got bitten by a dog. Bad people nowadays really do get their retribution. He was even bitten by a dog! I wonder which dog was so nice; I’ll have to give it an award if I see it next time.”
Changqing was stunned. She recalled Song Chuyi saying that Robben bit Song Chulang the day before. It seemed like it was true.
Robben did pretty well this time. He was her favorite dog indeed.
Aye, she was starting to miss Robben and Lolita again.
“Right, Sis, did Song Chuyi really resign from the hospital?” Changqing asked.
“Yeah.” Changxin sighed and said, “If he stops working at Bo Han Hospital, I really wonder where else he can look for a job. He does have good qualifications, but his status...”
Changqing’s grip on her fork tightened.
Just then, the phone rang. It was a call from Lin Yueli.
“Changqing, didn’t you say that you’d take us around? James wants to hike. Why don’t we go together?” Lin Yueli invited her warmly. “Ask Ruan Yang and Duoyao if they’re back in Northern City; we can go together.”
“... Oh, sure.” Seeing how warm he was, even inviting Ruan Yang and Duoyao, she agreed immediately just after a little hesitation. “But I’m not free today. You might have to wait until the day after tomorrow.”
“Sure, the day after tomorrow then. Let’s set off in the morning.” Lin Yueli set the time delightedly.
After hanging up, Changqing sent a short message asking Duoyao and Ruan Yang if they had returned back to Northern City. Duoyao was shooting a commercial in New York while Ruan Yang said she would be back.
It was 8 am on Sunday. Lin Yueli got a Land Rover Defender somehow. Its massive size made Changqing’s jaw drop. It didn’t look like they were going hiking; it seemed like it would be no problem even if they went to the desert.
“Come on.” Lin Yueli opened the door for her. James was sitting in the back, waving to her with a grin.
“Why don’t... I sit in the back?” Changqing felt weird.
“You’ll definitely have to sit in the front to show me the way,” Lin Yueli said with a smile as he caressed her head.
Changqing shifted her head to the side a little awkwardly.
After she got in the car, they went to pick up Guan Ying and Ruan Yang.
Everyone was already familiar with each other after being in Mauritius for a week. It was also an interesting experience to go hiking and camping together. Changqing’s mood improved after chatting and joking around with them.
On the other side, in the villa, Song Chuyi and Li Shaobin were playing basketball leisurely.
Hu Zhi drove over hurriedly. “Boss, why didn’t you pick up my call?”
“Did you call us? We’re playing basketball and we didn’t hear the phone.” Li Shaobin was bewildered. “Do you have urgent news?”
“It’s urgent, very urgent.” Hu Zhi took out his phone and showed them a picture, saying, “I followed him for a few days and this Lin Yueli finally made a move. I don’t know where they’re going, but in any case, they ‘re in a Land Rover Defender with a foreigner, Guan Ying and Ruan Yang on the highway. I’ve already gotten someone to follow them.”
Song Chuyi snatched the phone and took a look. In the picture, Lin Yueli’s hand was actually on his wife’s head.
His face darkened. He threw the phone into the bushes and flew upstairs to change.
Li Shaobin’s eyes brightened and felt like he would have something to do this weekend. He wiped the sweat off his face with his jersey and also ran upstairs to look for a set of clean clothes to change into.
Hu Zhi was left alone looking for his phone among the bushes pitifully. Really! Throwing my phone around when he’s not happy?
Within five minutes, Song Chuyi ran out of the house and pulled Hu Zhi into the car. “Tell me which way they went.”
“Old Song, wait for me.” Li Shaobin dashed out. “Let me drive—I drive fast. I’ll definitely be able to catch up to them.”
Song Chuyi thought about his lightning-speed driving skills and agreed. He walked a few steps forward, thought for a while and brought Robben and Lolita along.
Seeing that they were going out, Robben and Lolita started to jump around in the car.
Li Shaobin felt the need to criticize. “Why are you bringing them?”
“What do you know? They’re my secret weapon,” Song Chuyi said lightly.
Li Shaobin couldn’t help but think of Song Chuyi’s special training with the two dogs in the yard these past two days. He shivered inexplicably and started the car quickly. He sped onto the highway and in less than two hours, he drove 300 kilometers to the gate at the foot of Mount Huxiu. A thin monkey-like hand waved at them. “Brother Bin, Brother Chu, the Land Rover Defender over there is their car. They’ve been on the mountain for almost 20 minutes and they carried a lot of things with them, probably to set up a camp at the top of the mountain. I heard that the sunrise on this mountain is very beautiful.”
“F*ck, this Lin Yueli is too sly. He brought your wife to watch the sunrise.” Li Shaobin cursed angrily. “You haven’t even taken your wife to watch the sunrise.”
Song Chuyi’s face was as gloomy as though a storm was brewing. He stepped toward the mountain without even turning back. Robben and Lolita wagged their tails as they followed him.
Li Shaobin looked at the huge mountain and felt his legs going to jelly. “Old Song, why don’t we take the cable car up?”
“No, I want to stop them halfway,” Song Chuyi said coldly.
“Why?” Li Shaobin was puzzled.
Hu Zhi reminded him softly, “Boss, the most important thing while hiking is to cultivate feelings with your other half in the process. For example, during hikes, women tire out easily then men can help out by either supporting them or giving them a piggyback. At this time, women would easily feel attracted to men.”
Li Shaobin was speechless after hearing that. So this was the main reason why men hiked with women. It seemed like Old Song had met his match.
Changqing’s hiking stamina was very bad because she was usually very lazy. She was exhausted within half an hour.
“Let’s take a break and eat something.” Lin Yueli found a shady spot and took out some water, beef, pork jerky, oranges, and many other snacks.
Changqing was stunned and couldn’t help but look into his bag. “Gosh, you’ve got so many things in your bag. It must be heavy.”
James smiled, “He hikes often, so he has very good stamina.”
“Eat.” Lin Yueli threw a packet of jerky at her.
Ruan Yang smiled. “How did you know that Changqing likes to eat this?”
“Didn’t she keep complaining about wanting to eat meat back in Mauritius? I thought she might like meat quite a lot, so I bought these.” Lin Yueli looked at Changqing with a grin.
Changqing nodded. This person is so meticulous.
James laughed out loud. “I rarely see women who like meat.”
“Changqing can’t survive a meal without meat,” Guan Ying teased.
Changqing’s face blushed slightly. It was indeed quite embarrassing for a woman to like meat too much.
After eating and resting to their satisfaction, Lin Yueli stood up and took her bag.
“It’s okay, I can carry it on my own,” Changqing said shyly.
“It’s alright. This weight is nothing.” Lin Yueli carried her bag on one shoulder. “You can help Ruan Yang after a while.”
Seeing how insistent he was, Changqing didn’t say anything else.
Along the way, she and Ruan Yang kept taking turns carrying Ruan Yang’s bag.
Mount Huxiu was developed not long ago and it was considered rather primitive. The five hiked along a hiking path and stopped to play by the stream occasionally, so when they reached the top of the mountain, it was already 7 pm.
The sun set very late in the summer. The five managed to catch the giant orange sun sinking in the horizon, casting a glorious gold glow on the mountain top.
Changqing gasped in awe at this beautiful scenery several times. When the sun sank lower and lower, a slight sense of reluctance surfaced on her face.
Lin Yueli watched her and said with a smile, “The sunrise tomorrow will definitely be equally beautiful. You’ll still be able to see it.”
Changqing nodded. Although the way up was exhausting, the scenery made the hard work all worthwhile.
After the sun had set, the five started to set up their tents quickly. Lin Yueli and James had camped before and could set up the tents within half an hour.
After having their fill, the gang huddled in the big tent to play cards.
After playing for some time, Changqing could hear an indistinct howl from the quiet mountains.
Guan Ying’s hands, which were holding the cards, trembled. “Did you guys hear that... I think it sounds like wolves howling.”
Ruan Yang’s pretty face also stiffened. James took in a breath of cold air. “Don’t tell me there are wolves on this mountain. No way.”
“But it does sound like wolves howling and they’re getting closer.” Ruan Yang nodded. “Could it really be wolves?”
Changqing scratched her cheek. Why did she feel that it sounded like the sound Lolita would make whenever she was hungry? However, it was impossible for Lolita to be on this mountain.
“Woof, woof, woof.” Right then, along with the howling, there were sounds of a dog barking.
