Saturday-

  In the car, Xu Nuan was sitting in the passenger seat while Han Zihao was driving the car. 

  Xu Nuan looked out of the window and sighed heavily. Today they're going on a trip that he had talked about a few days ago. The plan was unexpected itself for her and on top of that, she has no idea where the hell they're going.

  She had thought that she would find out the destination upon reaching the airport, but to her surprise, they're not going there by plane, instead, he is going to drive all the way there. 

  She looked at him and asked, "Why aren't you putting the destination on the navigation? Stop being mysterious and tell me already. I can't hold onto this suspense anymore." 

  He glanced at her and chuckled, "Don't worry. I will not take you to the wrong place. I know the way." 

  "You know the way? Then you must have gone there before. Where are we going? Tell me now!" She demanded. 

  However, he simply laughed and continued to drive. 

  " You will know when we reach there." 

  She sighed in exasperation.

  She is not the type to control her curiosity and starts to feel restless when someone doesn't tell her anything. 

  Because of it, she couldn't even sleep a bit last night. She was excited, nervous, and curious about where he was going to take her for their first trip. 

  On top of that, the lunch with Grandfather Jiang two days ago heightened her nervousness and stress. He didn't say anything clearly about why he wanted to meet her and they parted ways after lunch, just like that. 

  Why the hell did he call her anyway?

  Because of this, she got dark circles under her eyes that she needed to cover with makeup. 

  Since it's their first trip, she was wearing a pastel blue floral dress with sleeves that will perfectly go with beachy vibes. 

  She had let her hair fall loose on her shoulders. The loose curls of her chestnut brown hair were completing her look for the trip. 

  Since it's summer, he must have planned a trip to the beach, isn't it? Summer calls for the beach after all. 

  With that in mind, she has packed her swimming suit and all of her pretty short dresses that she is going to flaunt on the beach. 

  ' Did I put the sunscreen in the bag?' she frowned when a sudden doubt popped into her head. 

  She checked the handbag that she was carrying and sighed in relief upon seeing it inside.

  Sunscreen is a must when going to beaches. She doesn't want to get tanned badly on the trip just because she forgot to pack the sunscreen with her. 

  Han Zihao glanced at her and saw her checking her sunscreen for the last time. He smirked but she was so busy in her thoughts that she didn't notice his expressions.  -

  After driving for hours, when Han Zihao stopped the car, it was already dark outside. 

  He stopped the car on the way a few times for a short break but she didn't even get out of the car, even for once. 

  She slept through the whole way as if she hadn't slept in months. He couldn't bear to disturb her either. If she is well-rested, only then they can have fun upon reaching their destination. 

  He sighed seeing her sleeping soundly, with her seat inclined back and her head was resting against the neck pillow. 

  He shook her gently and said in a low voice, " Xu Nuan, wake up. We have reached." 

  She didn't wake up at first and turned her head away in her sleep. He chuckled seeing her knocked out like this and got out of the car. 

  He walked to her side and removed the seatbelt for her. As he was about to pick her up in his arms, she groggily opened her eyes. 

  " What are you doing?" She asked, looking at him with her sleepy eyes. His one hand was behind her back while the other was reaching for her leg, preparing to pick her up.

  " Picking you up. You go back to sleep. You must be tired." He said, closing her eyes with his palm. 

  However, she removed his hand and asked, " We've reached? Already?" 

  He nodded, at which her eyes lit up brightly. 

  " Really?" She exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly got out of the car, pushing him aside. 

  He let out a chuckle seeing her excited like a little kid. She didn't even care about her messy hair and was looking around in awe. 

  " Damn!!! Are we really going to stay here?" She asked in shock, upon seeing the beautiful place. 

  Unlike what she had thought, he brought her to the mountains. He stopped the car in front of the villa that was surrounded by the long and green trees. 

  The villa was large and the wooden exterior of it was giving natural vibes. There was a large garden in front of the villa as well.

  The garden was filled with various, colorful flowers and fruit trees. Not only that, the trees and bushes were decorated and were lit up with yellow lights, brightly lighting up the whole place. 

  Even though it was dark, the whole villa and the garden were brightly lit, making it even more beautiful at night. 

  Xu Nuan covered her mouth in shock and hurriedly walked to the road to see the whole landscape.

  Down the road, a river was flowing and behind that, the beautiful view of mighty mountains could be seen. 

  The large and long trees were only adding to the beauty of this place. Not only the landscape, but the air was different as well. Other than this villa, she couldn't see any other house in the vicinity. 

  " This is so beautiful……" she moaned in awe. It's been so long since she has gone to the mountains to actually enjoy and not just for work. 

  Otherwise, whenever she went to a beautiful place like this in her last life, it was either for shooting for music videos or for photoshoots.

  As she was lost in the beauty of the place and was enjoying the cold breeze with her eyes closed, she felt someone putting a jacket on her shoulders. 

  She turned around and saw Han Zihao smiling at her. " You can admire the place later, but first…." He looked at her and said, " Change your clothes if you don't want to catch a cold."

  She was wearing a short dress that was only reaching to her thighs and the thin material of the dress was not helping at all to keep her warm. 

  After listening to his words, she realized that she was feeling cold. She didn't realize at first but her hands were icy cold and she was shivering too. 

  She wasn't cold in the car because he had turned on the heater as soon as they entered the mountain area and he had covered her with his jacket when she fell asleep earlier. 

  When she got out of the car, she was so excited to look around that she forgot the jacket in the car and was roaming around in the cold, in her short dress. 

  She covered herself with his jacket as she was feeling cold suddenly. She also nodded, " That will be the right thing to do. Let's go inside first." She said while nudging him to hurry up. 

  _

  As soon as they entered the villa, her mouth fell open. The whole interior was made up of wood and oozed elegance. 

  There are three couches in the living room, the biggest one was in the middle while the other two single couches were on each side. There was a large chandelier in the middle of the ceiling, enhancing the elegance of this place. 

  There was a glass table in front of the couches and there was also a furnace to keep the villa warm during the cold nights. Even though it's summer for them in the city, this place is cold all year long. 

  However, it's less cold at this time, otherwise, if it would have been winter, the garden and the rooftop of the villa would have been covered in snow. 

  Moreover, it's dangerous to drive up here in the winters because the roads would have been covered in snow and slippery. 

  Han Zihao glanced at her as he gathered their bags in the corner, " This is my family's vacation home. We used to come here frequently in the past but it's been years since anyone has visited here."

  Xu Nuan looked at the clean place and asked, " So……do you have any caretakers here? Because it's so clean despite being empty for so long."

  " Yes, we do. However, I have asked them to go back after asking them to make arrangements for our stay. I don't want anyone else in the house where we're staying. So……for the next two days, it will be only two of us in this villa." his voice turned low as he said the last line.

  Xu Nuan bit her lower lip as she could feel her face heating up. So….they're all alone in this large villa? For the whole two days? 

  Shit!!
