"Hahaha! I won!"
Arriving at a hilltop, Lin Wan lifted her goggles and excitedly waved at Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng approached, ca to a stop in a snowplow stance, and then stuck his ski poles into the ground.
"Not bad, so fast!"
"Hehe!"
Although she knew Lu Zheng was letting her win, Lin Wan was still very happy. "Let's continue!"
"Let's go!"
...
"I must say, skiing is quite fun. I feel it's more fun than driving," Lin Wan said with a smile.
Sports like racing, motorcycling, and skiing all give you a sense of speed. This was Lin Wan's first ti skiing, and she found it delightful.
"Hey? Hello! We et again!"
Lu Zheng turned around and saw two figures skiing towards them. When they got closer, they lifted their goggles—it was Robert and Nancy.
"Hahaha, you two modestly said you were beginners, but beginners can't co here," Robert laughed.
Lu Zheng smiled slightly, "Just lucky, skiing isn't as hard as it seems, learned quickly."
"Sir, you really know how to joke," Robert laughed, "As we say in Hua Country, eting is fate. May I know your nas?"
Lu Zheng blinked and nodded, "My na is Lu Zheng! This is my girlfriend Lin Wan."
"Lu! Lin! Nice to et you!" Robert pointed to the slope beside them, "How about we go together?"
Lu Zheng smirked and exchanged a glance with Lin Wan, "Sure!"
"Then let's go."
"Whoosh!"
Lu Zheng and Lin Wan exchanged a smile, then showed their true skills, leaving Robert and Nancy behind after a short distance, and soon after, they were out of sight.
"Hahaha!" Lu Zheng laughed out loud.
Lin Wan couldn't help but laugh, "Aren't we being a bit rude?"
"Tch! An elite rich second generation and a model from the celebrity scene—what common topic could we have? I'm already being very cultured not pushing them away completely."
Lin Wan chuckled quietly and said nothing more. The two of them dashed through the snowy forest like woodland fairies, having a great ti.
...
"So much fun, no wonder many people love skiing," Lin Wan said with a smile, "Let's continue tomorrow!"
Lu Zheng nodded naturally, "We'll be staying in Intekla for the next few days, skiing every day."
By now, they had returned their ski gear and were at the Jungfrau train station waiting for the train.
"Lu! Lin!"
The persistent Robert appeared again, beaming, "You guys are amazing! Are you professional skiers?"
Well, there's only one train station at Jungfrau, so running into each other is reasonable.
Lu Zheng shook his head, "Of course not."
Boarding the train, since they had a set pass, their seats were together.
"There's a performance at Kosar Theater tonight called the Bern Miracle. Interested?" Robert asked.
"Didn't we see the poster for that show yesterday?" Lu Zheng asked Lin Wan.
Lin Wan nodded, "Seems like it's a team from Bern, quite famous."
"Then let's watch it," Lu Zheng nodded, "We're here to have fun."
"That's great! Let's go together?"
Lu Zheng waved his hand, "Don't want to intrude on your ti together, we're fine on our own."
Unable to penetrate Lu Zheng's aloofness, Robert could only nod helplessly and change the topic, "May I ask what Mr. Lu does for a living?"
Robert paused and said, "Bao Yi Group also has business in Hua Country. Perhaps there's a chance to collaborate with you?"
Lu Zheng smirked, "I'm unemployed, just a layabout rich kid."
Lin Wan couldn't help but smile, almost laughing out loud.
Robert is an elite second generation. No matter what profession or business Lu Zheng ntions, Robert could probably continue the conversation, but Lu Zheng went the opposite way by labeling himself a nobody—well, how do you follow up on that?
Robert would tell you, he can!
"That's great! Having wealth and free ti gives you the resources to pursue what you love!"
Robert gave a thumbs-up, "Ordinary people could never have your skiing skills!"
Lu Zheng, "..."
Lin Wan, "..."
"Lu, what other hobbies do you have? Car racing? Horseback riding?" Robert asked, "I have a ranch in Eagle Country, interested in visiting?"
"No thanks, not interested," Lu Zheng shook his head.
Horse riding? He had just been riding for over a month not too long ago and wasn't in the mood for it right now.
"What about racing?"
Robert's eyes sparkled, "There's an F1 Grand Prix in Monaco the day after tomorrow. I'm planning to watch it live. Wanna co along?"
Lu Zheng shook his head again, "Not interested."
Nancy turned her gaze to Lin Wan, sweetly saying, "Gucci and Chanel are having new product releases in Monaco soon. Aren't you tempted to check them out? I'm sure with your figure and deanor, you'll look great in them."
Lin Wan smiled but hadn't yet shaken her head when Lu Zheng rubbed his chin, "That's a possibility."
Lin Wan felt speechless, "When would I ever have the chance to wear them?"
Lu Zheng confidently replied, "You don't have uniforms at work, and besides, everyone knows you snagged a wealthy husband. Isn't it only natural to wear nice clothes?
We'll ski for two more days, then head to Monaco, and return ho on the seventh."
"Alright, your call," Lin Wan said with a smile.
Lu Zheng snapped his fingers, "OK, it's settled then."
Having decided on Monaco, Robert smiled, not ntioning anything about dining together or watching the performance. He just chatted with Lu Zheng intermittently.
Disembarking, they said goodbye.
Lu Zheng and Lin Wan first went to buy tickets for the cultural performance, then went to eat.
...
"Showing undue hospitality ans either deceit or theft; that Robert must have ulterior motives," Lin Wan said.
It's one thing if they happened to sit together on the train and young people chatted; that'd be normal. But inviting them again to watch a performance or to go to Monaco went beyond being overly friendly on the return trip.
Given Lu Zheng and Lin Wan's cool deanor, Robert's enthusiasm was uncharacteristic for soone of his elite status.
"No matter his goal, we focus on our own fun," Lu Zheng said with a smile, "And if he makes a move, we won't be afraid either."
Lin Wan chuckled helplessly, "I'm afraid you'll pull a stunt like Tony again."
Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, "Seems you've got a bad feeling."
"Then why agree to Monaco?"
"I'm going to Monaco because I want to, to see the race and buy you so clothes. It has nothing to do with him," Lu Zheng said with a smile, "We can't let the chance that he may have bad intentions stop us from going places we want to explore, right? Otherwise, what's the point of honing our skills?"
"True enough, but isn't this entrapnt..." Lin Wan shook her head and said, "Fine, let's go then. Just hope he understands his place."
Truth be told, Lin Wan also wanted to go.
Everyone loves beauty, and since money is not an issue now, buying so designer clothes isn't a problem, especially since this money is contributed by foreigners, isn't it?
Not to ntion that her clothes at ho were wearing out quickly, and she needed to restock so.
...
In the following two days, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan continued skiing at Jungfrau, and Robert and Nancy showed up every day, coincidentally bumping into them several tis, each ti only chatting briefly before parting ways.
Since they were heading the sa direction, Robert suggested traveling together, and Lu Zheng didn't refuse.
On the afternoon of October 5th, the group returned to Bern from Intekla and took a flight to Monaco.
After exiting the airport together, Robert pointed at a stretch Bentley parked at the entrance, "Which hotel are you staying at? I can give you a lift."
"Monte Carlo tropole Hotel."
"What a coincidence, we're staying there too!" Robert winked at Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng couldn't help but shiver, almost doubting whether he had misunderstood Robert's intentions.
...
After arriving at the hotel, they had a al together and parted ways.
Without minding Robert and Nancy, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan began exploring stores, went for a swim, then hit a bar to gather enough photos for their social dia, and only then retired to their room for the night.
