snow country
The autumn weather is clear and crisp, and the maple leaves in the yard are falling more and more, with a rustling sound coming from them.
The maid stood at the door, looking at the maple leaves flying in the sky, and marveled at this rare beauty.
But unfortunately, Mr. Sheng didn't like fallen leaves in the yard, so she had to clean the yard before Mr. Sheng came back.
Ning Qian was originally sitting on the sofa on the first floor, slowly sipping the mellow milk tea in her cup, but when she saw this scene through the floor-to-ceiling window, she suddenly wanted to step on the leaves.
"Don't sweep yet."
Ning Qian's voice arrived before she arrived.
The maid who was sweeping up fallen leaves suddenly stopped what she was doing and asked, "Ms. Ning, what are you doing?"
Ning Qian smiled sheepishly and explained, "I wanted to step on some fallen leaves."
"This..." The maid was a little confused, but this was Miss Ning's intention, and Mr. Sheng should not blame her.
"What's wrong?" Ning Qian felt that she had only made a small request.
The maid explained the general reason and Ning Qian understood.
Then, she waved her hand nonchalantly, "It's okay. If he gets angry, just say it's my fault."
"Okay, Miss Ning." The maid left with the broom.
Apart from the security guards outside the courtyard gate, Ning Qian was the only one in the huge courtyard at this moment. She stepped excitedly on the maple leaves, making bursts of crisp sounds.
This strange feeling is like returning to childhood.
While she was enjoying herself, the gate suddenly opened and a familiar Maybach drove in.
And her playful look was completely seen in Sheng Yuanhan's eyes.
Ning Qian heard the horn and turned around. Seeing that it was Sheng Yuanhan who came back, she ran over happily.
When she wanted to give Sheng Yuanhan a big hug, she found a group of servants rushing towards her.
Soon they lined up and bowed, saying, "Hello, Mr. Sheng."
Sheng Yuanhan nodded slightly, took Ning Qian's cold little hand, and the two walked into the living room.
"It's getting cold, why are you still staying in the yard?"
[He even imitated others outside and stepped on leaves, like a child.]
【However, it's still kind of cute. 】
[No, I still need to teach you. What if you slip on the snow in winter?]
…
"Okay, I'm just playing around, it's okay." Ning Qian felt that he was making a fuss out of nothing.
"I'm going on a business trip to Snow Country the day after tomorrow. You should pack your bags and come with me."
"Really?" Ning Qian's eyes lit up when she heard that she was going abroad to travel.
"Yeah." Sheng Yuanhan nodded gently, "But I have some important business to attend to there, so I'm afraid I can't accompany you all the time."
Ning Qian stopped smiling, put her arm around him, and asked in confusion, "What's the big boss like you need to travel here in person?"
"We plan to acquire a diamond mine in Canada, but we've run into some difficulties."
Sheng Yuanhan sat down on the sofa, and Ning Qian leaned into his arms.
"This hilltop originally belonged to a man named Bill Taylor, but he's been dead for over a decade. It's now in the hands of his wife, Lena."
"His wife and children had already moved to the Snow Country, but since her husband was buried on this mountain, she was worried about damaging his grave and was reluctant to sell it."
Ning Qian was slightly surprised, "So you're going to go over there and persuade this old lady?"
I didn’t expect that there is such sincere love abroad.
"Yes." Sheng Yuanhan responded.
"Then how should we persuade her? Have you thought of a solution?" Ning Qian frowned.
"We are going to present evidence of her husband's infidelity to the old lady."
Sheng Yuanhan's voice was very soft, but it hit Ning Qian's heart like a heavy blow.
"Is her husband cheating on her?" She stood up in shock. "No, isn't this too cruel for an old lady?"
She imagined the funny scene of the old lady learning the news and ordering Sheng Yuanhan and others to blow up her husband's grave.
Sheng Yuanhan smiled calmly, "I'm just kidding. You look so worried, you're even more worried about this than I am."
"Really? Could you please stop teasing me!"
Ning Qian's heart almost jumped into her throat.
"We found a pocket watch that her husband used when he was young at the old market, and it had a photo of the two of them inside it."
"So what you mean is..."
"Of course, it's for the old lady to express our sincerity to her and to reassure her that her husband's grave will not be damaged."
"What if the old lady still doesn't agree?" Ning Qian was still a little worried.
Sheng Yuanhan sneered lightly but did not mention his next plan.
He pinched Ning Qian's face and changed the subject, "You don't have to worry about these things. Just dress up beautifully and think of it as accompanying me on vacation."
"All right."
Ning Qian realized that she couldn't help much, so she stopped asking.
"That's good."
Sheng Yuanhan pinched her chin and leaned over to kiss her.
This time, he found that her lips had a hint of sweetness from milk tea, and he couldn't help but lick them a few more times, kissing Ning Qian so hard that she cried out in itch.

Two days later, Ning Qian and Sheng Yuanhan drove to the private airport as usual. When the car passed by a bar, she happened to see a man with a bruised face and nose being thrown out in public.
Looking closely, the man seemed to be Shen Zong.
Ning Qian was a little speechless. Chen Zong was either being beaten or on his way to be beaten, with a bruised face every day.
But Ning Qian didn't feel sorry for him. It was all his own fault.
And his sister, who was arrogant and domineering and bullied Xu Yuhe in the bar, has now been disqualified from cooperation by Lu Jewelry. It is probably a pipe dream for her to want to make a name for herself in the jewelry industry in the future.
Of course, they did not let the bar involved go either, and it was forcibly closed for violating public security requirements.
Ning Qian also knew that all this was because the man next to her was supporting her.
Oh, how can I repay him?
Sheng Yuanhan put down the newspaper in his hand, glanced at her, and said with a bit of jealousy, "What's wrong? You're not feeling sorry for him, are you?"
"Who am I feeling sorry for? It's inexplicable." Ning Qian retorted.
Sheng Yuanhan lowered his eyes and pointed out the window.
Ning Qian couldn't help but chuckle. It turned out that he had seen that scene just now.
"You're overthinking it. How could I care about a man who has nothing to do with me?"
"Am I being stingy?" Sheng Yuanhan said indifferently.
[I don't want her to pay attention to any man other than me.]
【I’m not happy, hurry up and comfort me. 】
…
"No, it just proves that you care about me."
Ning Qian also pinched his face back the same way he usually pinched himself.
Sheng Yuanhan's eyes were burning, and all he saw was Ning Qian's beautiful and elegant face.

As the private plane flew through the clouds, the buildings below became more and more exotic, with small houses covered with snow. Ning Qian guessed that they were about to arrive in the Snow Country.
She clung to Sheng Yuanhan, fantasizing about walking and skiing with him in the snow.
"We're going to the Snow Country."
"Yes, wear your woolen hat so your ears don't get cold."
Sheng Yuanhan pushed the white velvet hat on her head down to cover her ears more.
"I know."
Ning Qian looked at Sheng Yuanhan. He seldom wore a hat. Compared with his usual calm and noble attire, the knitted hat on his head added a bit of cool and handsome air.
He wore a shirt inside, a gray sweater outside the shirt, and a black woolen coat and trousers outside that.
Ning Qian was fascinated by this British style dress and couldn't take her eyes off it.
"Have you seen enough, baby?" Sheng Yuanhan whispered, with a hint of smile in his voice.
Only then did Ning Qian wake up from her depression and asked, "Are we getting off the plane?"
"Yes, we're here already."
At this time, the announcement of arrival in the Snow Country was heard on the plane.
"good."
Ning Qian stood up, took Sheng Yuanhan's warm big hand, and began her journey to a foreign country.
They first arrived at their local house, a three-story sloping-roof villa with a holiday and leisure style.
The snow-capped mountains behind the house are covered in silver, like a fairyland.
There is a large garden in front of the house, and opposite it is a large lake with several small boats parked on the ice.
Ning Qian looked at the endless snowy scenery and couldn't help but exclaimed how beautiful it was.
"How about a waltz in the snow?"
Sheng Yuanhan leaned over and invited her.
"Ah, it wouldn't be nice to be surrounded by people then."
Ning Qian hesitantly took his hand.
"It's okay, they are still having dinner at this time."
Sheng Yuanhan held her hand, danced lightly with Ning Qian in the snow.
At this moment, Ning Qian also forgot her restraint, humming a melody and dancing freely in the snow.
Soon, two footprints, one big and one small, were left in the snow.
When the dance was over, Ning Qian hugged Sheng Yuanhan's waist and tilted her head back for a kiss.
Sheng Yuanhan's eyes paused slightly, then he leaned over and kissed her.
At this moment, a burst of warm applause rang out beside them, and people shouted in the local dialect: "What a great dance!"
Ning Qian was so scared that she left Sheng Yuanhan's arms instantly. Only then did she realize that a group of people were walking towards her from the lake, carrying chisels and fish buckets in their hands.
"What are they talking about?"
Ning Qian didn't understand, so she had to ask Sheng Yuanhan.
"They were praising your dancing skills," Sheng Yuanhan explained.
"So that's what it means."
Ning Qian seemed very busy drawing circles on the ground with her feet.
The group of people came closer and closer, talking in a gibberish.
Ning Qian only understood their thumbs-up gesture.
Sheng Yuanhan translated as usual, "They said they'd never seen such a good-looking Asian couple, and they happened to have caught a lot of fish, so they wanted to invite us to dine with them."
Ning Qian was not used to having dinner with strangers and shook her head to refuse.
So Sheng Yuanhan translated what she meant.
"My wife is rather shy, so I regret to decline your offer. I hope you enjoy your meal."
The leading man nodded. "What a shame! My wife is an excellent grilled fish expert. I'll give you this fish. Enjoy your meal."
After expressing his gratitude, Sheng Yuanhan took a lake fish weighing more than two kilograms.
After they left, Ning Qian looked at Sheng Yuanhan with admiration, "What language are they speaking?"
"German."
Ning Qian was very surprised, "You can speak German?"
Sheng Yuanhan looked at her like a little fangirl and suddenly felt that all the hardships he had suffered for studying had disappeared at this moment.
"Well, I lived there for a year or two before."
"Yuanhan, you are so awesome." Ning Qian praised sincerely.
"It's just okay."
Sheng Yuanhan appeared to be indifferent to the compliment, but ripples had already appeared in his heart.
【Baby finally sees my shining point. 】
【Lucky to find an all-round man. 】
"How about I grill some fish tonight, and let my sweetheart witness that a successful man can cook just as well as anyone else."
…
In the evening, Ning Qian looked at a table full of delicious dishes and saw a strange plate of charcoal meal.
"What is this?" Ning Qian used chopsticks to pick away the burnt skin, and probed a little lower before she could barely see the white fish meat.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Sheng Yuanhan's face. "This is grilled fish."
"Can I eat it?" Ning Qian took back the chopsticks.
"able."
Sheng Yuanhan answered decisively and picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth.
The next second, he frowned, took the napkin and spit it out.
"This fish tastes burnt and bitter."
"Then let's not eat anymore. Let's eat the food Auntie cooked." Ning Qian picked up a piece of potato pancake for him.
If she had known this earlier, she would have stopped Sheng Yuanhan from catching fish.
Sheng Yuanhan lowered his eyes and looked depressed, feeling that he had lost face in front of Ning Qian.
"It's okay, just turn down the temperature next time." Ning Qian comforted.
"Baby, do you think I can do it well next time?" Sheng Yuan asked coldly.
Ning Qian's eyes rolled. Although it was very difficult for him, his willingness to try was already beyond many men.
"Of course you can. You are the most outstanding man in all of Jingbei. There is nothing in this world that you can't do."
Ning Qian's exaggerated tone made it seem as if he was the rarest treasure in the world.
He held his chin, his eyes flashing, looking at the woman at the dining table who had been trying to make him happy, and only wanted them to be together forever.
