C78 (1/2)

The next morning, it was only six o'clock in the morning. The sun had already fully revealed its smiling face, illuminating the busy city of Shallow Water.

The early spring sunshine was especially soft and warm, shining on Jian Fan's fair and delicate face, giving off a gentle red glow, as if she was a winged angel that was elegantly flying in the morning light.

Dressed in a white sportswear, Jian Fan knocked on Zhou Tong's door.

Zhou Tong's sleepiness did not diminish. She laid on the door with a sullen face, half dead, and asked, ”What's wrong, my young miss?”

”Accompany me out for a run. If you keep sleeping, you'll get wrinkles.” His hair was tied up to his head, revealing a shiny forehead. His tone was light and lively like a fairy.

”I'm not going. I still need to sleep, or else I'll be fired if I don't have the energy to go to work later.”

That's right, not everyone developed a habit like her.

Jian Fan's heart softened as Zhou Tong closed the door with a bang.

Well, she could run by herself.

On the opposite side of the shallow mountain was a beautiful scenery. Beside the mountain road was a clear and quiet path. The trees by the side of the road were all cherry trees, and this time the trees were bright pink.

The thought of being able to breathe the fresh mountain air and feel the beauty of early spring excited Jane.

Apart from the two crazy people he had met in the past two days, everything else was so beautiful.

Without further ado, Jane Fan changed into her running shoes, grabbed her key, and left the house.

The shallow mountain was two kilometers away from the new era apartment. Jane Fan took a taxi and got on it. She heard the taxi driver say that the shallow mountain was a private hill, and that there was a gate at the foot of the mountain.

But since she was already here, and she was just going for her morning practice, there shouldn't be too much of a problem, right? Moreover, Zhou Tong said that the top of the mountain was the Church of Christianity, so it would be fine for her to pretend to be a follower.

After getting off the car, Jian Fan saw a security booth and a door that was opened.

As he approached the security booth to speak, the door opened as his head came out.

Jian Fan was overjoyed. Without another word, he ran up the mountain.

The mountain paths were covered with late-season cherry blossoms that were spread out in several layers, like the hem of a bride's dress, or like the pink sheets of a little girl's home.

Jian Fan bent over and cupped a handful in his hand. After a small sniff, all the pores on his body opened up.

The Church of Christ was truly exquisite. Even the mountain paths were paved with such flat and luxurious decorations that one could not see even a single stone on the road except for the petals. Seeing how intact the flower petals were, as if no one had been here for a very long time, she couldn't bear to even take a step down.

As they continued to jog, a strange sound made Jian Fan curious.

”Ahh …” ”Wuwang …”

It seemed like a puppy. Jian Fan sped up his pace and ran towards the top of the mountain. Halfway up the mountain, a half human's height, snow-white fur, and a big white dog appeared.

”Wang …” ”Wang Wang …”

Apparently, the puppy also saw her and was sprinting towards her at a speed of 100 meters.

Jian Fan was a little afraid of dogs, and thought about whether he should retreat or not. However, it was a bit closer. Its expression was not fierce at all, and it even seemed to be smiling.

AHH!” ”Before she could even react, the snow-white dog had already jumped to her feet. It kept bowing and turning its body, trying to express its goodwill towards her.

Jian Fan's heart softened as he squatted down to hug it.

She smiled so sweetly that she was intoxicated by the morning sun.

”Puppy dog, what's your name? Can't you find your way home? ”

Puff rubbed his hand against her neck, making her giggle.

”It's called Puff. You're the one who named it.”

The sudden appearance of a man's voice behind him gave Jian Fan a fright.

She stood up with professional vigilance, then turned around and hit the man in the chest.

His line of sight landed on a top-notch craftsman's face that was meticulously carved to the point of perfection.

His heart skipped a beat, and his steps reacted faster than her heart. He had already retreated several steps back. ”It's you?”

The corner of Ling Chen's mouth slightly opened, revealing a bitter smile: ”Are you that afraid of me?”

”Why are you here?” Jian Fan looked at him with a guarded expression. Although she didn't have any deep grudges against him, she hated him just because of his arrogant appearance. Besides, he also … He was also a pervert who liked to hug her and say that she was his woman.

”This is my home, why can't I be here?” Ling Chen took a step forward. The one who was even faster was Puff.

”Is this your home?” Jian Fan looked around and estimated that 500 meters away, there was a European style palace. It was not a church at all, but an extremely luxurious villa.

Zhou Tong had lied to her!

With a quick thought, he realized that it wasn't surprising that the president of the Ling family, who controlled a third of the economic lifeline of the city, had a private hill and a villa that hid deep inside.

A tycoon!

Jian Fan glanced at him in disdain and prepared to run down the mountain.

How depressing. If she knew this was his territory, she wouldn't have come up.

Just as Jane Fan was about to move, Puff blocked her path horizontally.

”Go...” ”Go!” Puff did not seem to want to move at all. Instead, she wagged her tail and raised her head, looking quite pitiful.
