Chapter 635 - 633: When Are We Going Skiing Again?

Chapter 635: Chapter 633: When Are We Going Skiing Again?

She kept driving the electric car,

freely speeding along this rarely traveled road,

enjoying this driving pleasure that belonged to her alone.

As time went by, Lin Xi’s driving skills grew more and more proficient.

She was no longer afraid of the car’s sudden acceleration or deceleration,

but could instead smoothly control its every move.

She even started trying some more advanced driving maneuvers,

and every success made her thrill with excitement.

As the gentle night slowly descended,

Lin Xi and Xue Yang finally wrapped up this tense yet fun practice session.

The two of them walked home side by side with light, easy steps.

The moonlight washed over them, stretching their shadows long, weaving a warm and tender scene.

Not far away, at the peak of Xiangshan, the snowy mountains stood gleaming white,

radiating a soft, pearly glow in the night,

like a pearl in a fairyland, drawing every gaze that lifted toward it.

The twinkling starlight and the pristine snow echoed one another,

so beautiful it made one’s heart ache, and it stirred in Lin Xi an endless longing for skiing.

She turned to look at Xue Yang, her eyes sparkling with anticipation:

"Xue Yang, when are we going skiing again?"

Xue Yang smiled, his eyes full of gentle indulgence:

"When I’ve got a free day, I’ll take you."

Hearing this, the corners of Lin Xi’s lips lifted slightly,

but a hint of girlish willfulness quickly followed:

"Then what if you’re really busy and don’t have time to go with me? Can I go with Si Wen instead? She really likes skiing too."

Xue Yang frowned lightly, a trace of almost imperceptible worry in his tone:

"It’s too dangerous for you two to go by yourselves. I wouldn’t be at ease."

Seeing this, Lin Xi hurried to soothe him:

"Oh come on, I’ll ask the bodyguard to play with us too. With her there, nothing will happen. Please, please, I need a bit of my own space sometimes, okay? I’ll report everything to you anyway."

Looking into her eyes, full of longing, Xue Yang could only give in helplessly in the end, the corners of his mouth lifting in a pampering smile:

"Alright, but first I need to see obvious improvement in your driving.

When the time comes, I’ll check for myself. If I’m satisfied, I’ll let you go skiing."

At his words,

a flash of triumph lit up Lin Xi’s eyes,

and she quickly agreed:

"You said it yourself, okay? It’s a deal—no backing out!"

The two of them exchanged a smile and continued walking forward,

leaving behind only the little moonlit path,

witnessing the warmth and tacit understanding between them.

As soon as Auntie Shen saw them coming back,

she walked up to them with a broad smile,

her voice full of affection and warmth:

"Welcome home, Miss, Young Master Xue."

Like a lively little bird, Lin Xi bounced over to Auntie Shen’s side,

naturally looping her arm through hers,

her eyes glinting with excitement,

as if she couldn’t wait to pour out all the day’s joy:

"Auntie Shen, you know what? I learned how to drive today!"

At this, a hint of surprise flashed in Auntie Shen’s eyes,

which then melted into deep relief and pride,

and she said with a gentle smile:

"Miss is so smart and quick-witted. To master driving so fast is really impressive."

Hearing that, a smug smile bloomed on Lin Xi’s face,

yet she didn’t forget to credit Xue Yang beside her:

"We have to thank Xue Yang. It’s his patient teaching that helped me learn so quickly.

He’s the best teacher ever!"

Auntie Shen shook her head with a smile,

her eyes full of loving kindness:

"Miss and Young Master Xue are both exceptional. Helping each other grow—what a comfort to see."

Lin Xi smiled so wide her eyes curved like crescent moons,

and, holding Auntie Shen’s hand, she said expectantly:

"Auntie Shen, when I’ve got time, I’ll definitely take you for a drive so you can feel how fun driving is."

Auntie Shen agreed with a smile, then let her gaze fall on their slightly tired faces,

and asked with concern:

"Coming back this late, you must be hungry, right? I’ll go make you some supper."

Lin Xi touched her softly rumbling stomach and nodded with a smile:

"Mm, I am a little hungry."

After that, Lin Xi and Xue Yang walked together into the sunroom,

where it was as warm as a spring afternoon,

with all kinds of flowers blooming in competition and a faint fragrance in the air,

making one feel relaxed and happy.

They sat down on the comfortable sofa,

and the day’s fatigue seemed to gradually melt away in this cozy atmosphere.

Soon, Auntie Shen brought over two plates of fragrant spaghetti,

and set them down in front of them.

This wasn’t just a simple late-night snack,

it was the taste of home, a reflection of Auntie Shen’s meticulous care for them.

"Auntie Shen’s cooking is getting better and better,

this plate of pasta smells amazing. Even compared to a Michelin five-star chef’s dish,

it’s in no way inferior—if anything, it’s even better."

Lin Xi ate as she praised, her words filled with happiness and contentment.

"Miss, Young Master Xue, you two eat first. I’ll come back later to clean up."

Lin Xi smiled sweetly and said, "Okay."

With a warm smile on her face, she gently closed the sunroom door,

quietly stepping out and leaving this tranquil space entirely to the two young people.

As the live-in auntie the Lin Family had trusted for generations,

Auntie Shen knew perfectly well when to show up and when to quietly retreat.

Her presence was like an indispensable part of the Lin Family,

offering warmth and care while also knowing when to give the young people freedom and space.

In the sunroom, Xue Yang and Lin Xi sat facing each other,

enjoying this rare peace and delicious meal.

Though Xue Yang was busy dealing with work, his gaze would soften now and then as it fell on Lin Xi,

and when he saw her carefully picking the bits of meat out of his pasta for him,

a warm current surged through his heart.

"You should eat more yourself too. Don’t just fuss over me."

Xue Yang gently reminded her, his words full of indulgence.

Lin Xi looked up and gave a playful grin:

"You work so hard, of course you need to eat more and build yourself up.

As for me, I’m dieting—eating less meat is fine."

Before she could finish, Xue Yang had already put down his phone,

and with a light tug of his right hand, he pulled Lin Xi onto his lap,

and the two of them tumbled into a bout of laughter and playful teasing.

In the end, this sweet little interlude ended with them sharing the food together,

and neither of them actually ate any less.

When it was late into the night, the two of them went back to their room hand in hand,

leaving behind a room full of warmth and sweetness.

And as for Auntie Shen, just like always,

she appeared at just the right moment after they left,

quietly tidying everything up,

as if all this were simply the most natural part of her life.

Outside the window, a crescent moon hung high, with scattered stars,

adding a touch of romance and serenity to this quiet night.

...

At the grand headquarters of Lin Corporation,

Li Wenjia stood tall in front of Lin Zhenhai’s wide, dignified desk,

a professional, respectful smile on her face.

Lin Zhenhai, the helmsman of the group, fixed his deep gaze on her and spoke slowly:

"Assistant Li, how are things going with Xue Yang lately?"

Li Wenjia paused for a second, then asked:

"Chairman, you don’t know yet?"
