Chapter 73: Chapter 73: You’re physically weak, go hike to exercise

Ji Wei rubbed her forehead, feeling awkward for a few seconds, then asked, "Where are we headed now?"

Mo Qian lifted his deep, captivating eyes to look at her and moved his lips, "Take a guess."

"To your company?"

"Nope."

"Back to Shanshui Manor?"

"Not that either."

Ji Wei couldn’t figure it out, "Then where are we going?"

Mo Qian’s thin lips parted slightly, and he uttered two words, "A date."

"...!!!"

More than an hour later.

Ji Wei stared at the lush mountains ahead and asked the man beside her with surprise, "We’re having a date in the mountains?"

Mo Qian took her hand, smiled, and nodded, "Yep."

Ji Wei: "..."

Other people’s dates involve candlelit dinners or romantic strolls by the riverside. When it comes to Mo Qian, it turns into a mountain hike.

"Your stamina’s not great—time to train it up with some exercise."

Mo Qian added without much expression.

"What makes you think my stamina is bad?" Ji Wei protested indignantly.

Mo Qian merely laughed without replying.

To Ji Wei, however, his smile seemed to carry a hint of mischievous intent.

Nanshan was Rongcheng’s tallest mountain, with an elevation of over two thousand meters. It was a fairly well-established tourist destination. Visitors could hike up or take a cable car.

After walking along the mountain path for less than half an hour, Ji Wei was already panting heavily, "I can’t. Mo Qian, can we take the cable car instead?"

Her gaze toward him carried a trace of pleading.

Mo Qian looked at her flushed cheeks and sweat-drenched forehead. He couldn’t bear to let her tire herself out too much and finally nodded in agreement, "Alright."

That single word of assent made Ji Wei feel an intense relief. Without hesitation, she sank to the ground, not wanting to move another inch.

Mo Qian walked over, extended his hand, and pulled her up, "No rush to exercise—we’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future."

Ji Wei blinked, a little confused.

Could it be that next time he planned to take her swimming?

As if seeing right through her thoughts, Mo Qian reached out, hooking her delicate chin gently and stroking it, "I meant... bed-related exercises."

Ji Wei was in the middle of taking a sip of water when she heard this, nearly choking and spraying water everywhere.

The hiking route took over an hour to traverse, while the cable car only required a few minutes.

Once they reached the mountain summit, they were greeted by lush green trees, rolling peaks, and—further in the distance—a sea of clouds. The sun floated up and down within the clouds.

It was Ji Wei’s first time seeing such a view, and she was as excited as a child.

As evening approached, there were fewer tourists on the mountain.

The temperature difference at the summit was noticeable. A gust of chilly wind had Ji Wei instinctively shrinking her neck. The next second, a men’s blazer was draped over her shoulders.

"Careful not to catch cold,"

Mo Qian reminded her warmly.

Ji Wei looked at him and silently nodded, her heart suddenly feeling cozy and warm.

The two of them stood at the summit, admiring the scenery for a while, and then headed to a nearby snack shop.

Mo Qian went to order food while Ji Wei sat at a table waiting for him. She toyed with a pair of chopsticks in her hand, her gaze lingering on the sea of clouds outside the window, feeling content.

It was her first time going out on a date with Mo Qian—such a strange and wonderful feeling.

Ring ring ring...

A sudden phone ringtone yanked Ji Wei out of her thoughts.

It took her a moment to realize that the sound was coming from Mo Qian’s blazer pocket.

Ji Wei pulled out the phone and saw an unfamiliar number displayed on the screen.

Could it be an important call?

She glanced at Mo Qian, who wasn’t far away chatting with the shopkeeper, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to answer the call.

"Mo Qian, I’ve already arrived at the airport. Where are you? Auntie told me you’d come pick me up—did you leave yet?"

Before Ji Wei could utter a word, a woman’s voice came through the phone first.

Her tone was gentle and soft, calling him "Mo Qian" instead of "Gu Moqian."
