Chapter 6：Ye Ruwei (1/2)

The Boss is in love!

Every employee of Hongye Hot Springs said so.

Looking at her flushed face and her constant slight sweet smile, were indications that she was in love. That day, Xiao Jia had come across her and Mu Zheng kissing, so her employees all knew about her falling in love.

Although Xiao Jia had told her, that compared to the cold indifferent Mu Zheng, she had invested more of her feelings into this relationship than him but she did not mind. She had always thought that feelings were immeasurable and could not be weighed on scales as feelings were subtle. Even if everyone said that she was on the losing end, as long as the process made her feel happy, so what?

Recently the weather had warmed up. Ye Ruwei had instructed the chef to introduce a new series of spring menu and was in the midst of picking the new dishes when another worker-cum-student, Xiao Liao suddenly ran to her side and ambiguously winked at her.

”Sister Ye, brother-in-law has come!”

”What?”

Ye Ruwei looked up and saw the familiar silhouette walking towards the counter. She pretended to give Xiao Liao an angry look, patted him and said.

”Don't talk nonsense! Just now there is a table that ordered some dishes. Quick, help to serve the dishes.”

”Yes!” Xiao Liao gave a mock salute and on seeing Mu Zheng coming in, dashed into the kitchen.

In fact, Xiao Liao was very afraid of Mu Zheng because he always had a cold indifferent look on his face.

Ye Ruwei smiled at Xiao Liao as he disappeared into the kitchen and she walked out from behind the counter to greet Mu Zheng.

”Mu Zheng, you are here.”

”Mm.....” Mu Zheng nodded, looked in the direction of Xiao Liao and said. ”Busy?”

”No!” She shook her head quickly.

She was very happy to see him. For the last three days, he did not come and she was wondering why he did not appear.

”You want a dip in the hot spring?” She smilingly asked.

”Yeah.”

Ye Ruwei grinned, intimately pulled his arm and accompanied him to his exclusive private pool.

Ever since she fell in love, she had reserved this special pool exclusively for his personal use.

Ye Ruwei looked at his cold face and said. ”You just finished work? You look tired.” Every time he came to the hot spring, she had always felt that his mood was not good.

In the eyes of others, he was always cold and indifferent but she was able to distinguish the slightest difference in his expressions and even could feel his mood swings.

”It's okay.” Mu Zheng's mood was really not good and lazily answered.

”You....what are you doing recently?”

She could not be blamed for being curious. Although they meet more often now but to her, he was still a mystery.

She knew he worked for Du Zhengxian but did not know what he does as he never talked about his work.

”Busy with work.” He really did not explain in detail about his work.

Ye Ruwei knew that he did not like to talk about his work and was considerate not to ask anymore to give him some private space.

When they reached his exclusive pool, Ye Ruwei suddenly remembered that yesterday, she had bought a new towel for him, quickly said. ”Yes! I bought a new bath towel for you. Wait for a while, I'll get it.”

She hurriedly ran off but this time, Mu Zheng did not wait for her. He took off his clothes and walked into the misty pool. By the time she came back, he was comfortably relaxing in the pool with his head resting on the rock, squinting his eyes at her.

”I'll put the towel here!” His half-naked body made Ye Ruwei feel shy, with lowered head, put the towel on the cabinet top and turned to leave.

”Wait a minute.” He looked at her shy, pretty face, Mu Zheng suddenly wanted to tease her.

”What is it?” She stopped and dared not look back.

”What.....what is it?” Ye Ruwei only dared to turn sideways but did not dare to look directly at him.

”Come a bit closer!” He leisurely ordered.

”Actually...what is it?” She kept on looking at her toes jutting out of her sandals and did not even looked at him.

”I lost my towel.”

”Ah?” Ye Ruwei moved her eyes along with Mu Zheng's line of vision and saw a white towel floating on the water.

”Can you please retrieve it for me?” He asked gently.

”Oh, okay!” She hurried around to the end of the pool, squatted down and picked the towel out of the pool.

”Here is your towel.” She considerately handed over the towel to him.

”Thank you!” He pretended to take the towel and pulled her hand together with the towel towards him.

”Ah....” She quickly knelt down but was not dragged into the pool.

She let out a shocked breath when suddenly a pair of wet hands burst out of the water. Before she even had time to scream, hot and humid lips had landed on her lips and lashed into her mouth.

Again!

She rolled her eyes, sighed weakly and then closed her eyes, put her arms around his neck and wholeheartedly received his fiery kiss.

This is the time that she could really get close to him and could feel his enthusiasm and care for her.

Finally, Mu Zheng was satisfied and loosen his hold on her. Ye Ruwei immediately, like a fish let off, fled from his arms quickly.

She swept him an angry glance, hiding her red swollen lips behind her hand and hurried back to the counter.

Back at the counter, she put down the hand covering her mouth and Xiao Jia who was standing in for her at the counter, immediately exclaimed. ”Sister Ye, you have been bitten by an insect? Your mouth is swollen badly!”

Ye Ruwei's face flushed red and was so embarrassed, did not know how to answer. At that time, Obasan who was taking out the trash heard Xiao Jia. She laughed loudly and slapped Xiao Jia on his head.

”Silly Xiao Jia! Have you ever been in love?”

Xiao Jia with a red face suddenly realized that the insect was Mu Zheng!

Even if there was no moonlight or stars on Yangmingshan (name of a famous mountain near Taipei where Yangmingshan National Forest Park is located), it was especially quiet, even if the sky was not beautiful, they would still go there to enjoy the night scene.

Ye Ruwei snuggled in Mu Zheng's embrace, thought of Xiao Jia's words and could not help but laughed.

”Why are you laughing?”

Mu Zheng lifted his eyebrows, looked down at her and smiled.

”I was thinking of Xiao Jia. Today, he said....” She smiled and told him the joke. ”Xiao Jia is so cute, right?”

Mu Zheng humph and did not comment.

To him, Xiao Jia was only a fledgling little feather that not important to him. But on several occasions, he had seen Ye Ruwei and Xiao Jia were quite close, sharing smiles and talking with harmonious feelings, his heart felt a little discomfort.

”You like that kid?” He asked trying not to look jealous.

”Of course!” Ye Ruwei answered. ”Xiao Jia is a good boy. Hardworking and diligent, why shouldn't I like him?”

”You like him?” Mu Zheng felt his face sink and wanted to ask her.....what about himself?

He hated the feeling of jealousy that he had, making him so silly but could not stop himself from feeling jealous of Xiao Jia.

Ye Ruwei turned her head and chanced upon his cold, unhappy expression. Suddenly a thought came into her mind and asked. ”Mu Zheng, are you jealous?”
