Chapter 116 Ski Resort ( Part One)
On Saturday morning, Mary and William got dressed and set out for the ski resort at S City.
Mary caught sight of William''s professional ski equipment. She was absolutely dumbfounded.
"You can ski?" Mary asked.
"Of course. Skiing in the winter and surfing in the summer. Sounds pretty good, right?"
"Yes, it''s not bad."
As expected, William had unlimited resources. He was free to do what he wanted whenever he
wanted to.
While the car drove north, the air got colder and colder along the way. The scenery on the road
changed from autumn to winter. Lying in her seat and in her puffy jacket, Mary wanted to curl up into
a ball.
When they entered S City, she saw the snow on both sides of the road and on top of the branches.
"It''s snowing!" Mary leaned against the car window and looked out.
"Yes. It''ll continue snowing for two days." "Really?" Mary''s eyes lit up. This was the first time she''d
ever seen snow...
As he saw the joy in her eyes, William''s heart fluttered.
The manager of the ski resort greeted them as soon as they arrived. It seemed that he had been
waiting for a while.
"Oh, Mr. Lan. Wee."
"Thank you, Manager Sun. We''ll have to trouble you for a while." William shook his hand firmly.
The two of them chatted as the hot air from their mouths formed into small clouds. Mary rubbed her
hands together. ''It''s so cold!''
"It''s no trouble at all." Manager Sun smiled. "It''s cold out here. Let''s head inside the vi first."
"Alright."
"This way, madam." Manager Sun gestured to them.
"Thank you." Mary then followed the two inside.
"Mr. Lan, I thought you were busy," Manager Sun said. "I called your assistant Kevin a few days
ago, but he said you were busy. So I was surprised to have received your call in personter."
"Well, it''s not wrong to take some time off ande here." William shrugged. He never told him that
he had taken Lucas''s tickets.
The two chatted as they walked to the front, while Mary followed closely behind them.
The road to the vi was covered in snow. Mary lightly stepped on it and giddily hopped forward.
"Ah!" But suddenly, her foot slipped on the ice. She screamed as her body swayed, slowly losing
bnce.
"Watch out!" William turned around quickly and ced his arms around her waist. He caught her as
his eyes were filled with worry. "Are you all right?"
"I''m okay..." Mary shook her head and blushed. Crack!
In the distance, sounds of camera shutter could be heard. No one saw that a young man was hiding
secretly behind the trees. He followed them all the way there while asionally taking photos.
"Look at you! Be careful," William said as he let go of her.
"Okay..." Pursing her lips, Mary nodded reluctantly.
"Come here! Hold my hand!" William suddenly reached his hand out to her and raised his eyebrow.
"I..."
"Hurry up!" He was obviously in a hurry.
Biting her lips, Mary looked at William''s outstretched hand. ''His hand must be very warm.''
She hesitantly reached out her hand. As soon as her finger touched William''s palm, he grabbed her
hand.
"You''re so slow!" William shot her a look of disgust as he held her hand tightly.
"Humph..." Mary protested, but was pulled forward with every step.
"Is madam okay?" Manager Sun looked at Mary. "I forgot to mention that it''s been snowing a lot
here. You should be careful."
"It''s okay." William shook his head calmly. He turned his head slightly to stare at Mary. The corners
of his mouth suddenly curved up. He unconsciously tightened his grip on her hand.
''I''ll hold your hand so you wouldn''t fall down again.''
"Here we are." Manager Sun turned around with a smile. "This is the suite I prepared just for you
two. Mr. Lan, are you satisfied with it?"
"Yes." William nodded and led Mary inside the suite. "Wow, it looks great!" She ran to the window
and stared outside.
It was a floor to ceiling ss window that was facing several mountains. Even the ski resort could
be seen in the distance.
"The vi has a heater." Manager Sun smiled. "You can also sit here and watch the snow fall. A lot
people seem to love the scenery."
"Oh, that''s good. It''s cold out there!" Mary turned around gleefully.
"We''ll stay here," William said.
"Okay." Manager Sun sped his hands together. "I''ll leave you now so that you can rest. If you
need anything, just give me a call."
"Thank you, Manager Sun."
"You''re wee, Mr. Lan." Manager Sun waved his hand. "I''ll be leaving now."
"Bye."
"When will we head out? It''s so nice out there!" Mary''s eyes grew wide. The scenery was just too
beautiful to be left unexplored.
"We can go out at any time." William smiled.
"Really?" Mary held his sleeves. "Where can we rent ski equipment? Do I have a coach? I don''t
know how to ski so..." "Aren''t you tired from sitting in the car for a long time?" William raised his
eyebrow.
"No, I''m not tired." Shaking her head, Mary was as giddy as a child. "Shall we go out now?"
"Okay." Mary grabbed William''s arm as they headed out. His heart fluttered in excitement.
William called the reception desk to borrow an outfit for Mary and they set off in full gear.

Once they arrived at the ski resort, it was crowded with people.
"Wow, the snow-capped mountains are so beautiful!" As they sat in the cable car, Mary
enthusiastically pointed at the people below. "Look, they''re skiing down the hill. Ha ha..."
"That man fell down. He''s so stupid!"
"Wow, look!" Mary pointed at the man skiing below. "He flew through the sky several times..."
Hearing what she said, William grew silent. He just looked at her with a gentle smile.
"You''d better show me what you''ve got." After getting off the cable car, Mary patted William
excitedly. "You have to beat that guy, okay? I''ll be rooting for you!"
"Alright." William stared at her face and nodded triumphantly.
After putting on his outfit, William nced at Mary and then turned his head back facing the slope.
Holding the ski sticks, he slowly slid down.
"Wow!" Mary screamed as she watched William slide smoothly down the mountain. "You''re so
handsome! William! That''s so amazing!"
Regardless of whether he could hear her or not, Mary cheered him on.
"Mrs. Lan?" While Mary was shouting, a young man came and politely called her attention. He was
wearing ski coach clothes.
"Hello." Mary greeted him. He was very tall and had a warm personality. What a nice guy!
"I''m the coach here." The man ced his hand on his chest. "Manager Sun asked me toe here.
Madam, are you interested in skiing? I can teach you. I think Mr. Lan is very good."
"Is that okay?" Mary tilted her head.
"Of course!"
"Okay then!" Mary jumped up energetically. Under the guidance of the young coach, Mary got her
ski equipment prepared.
It had been a long time since William had that much fun. As he slid down, he felt like his heart was
about to soar.
Mary must be looking forward to skiing with him. William smiled and walked up the hill, but his smile
quickly faded when he saw Mary.
"Okay, try and keep your bnce." The young coach put his hands on Mary''s waist. "First, you
should try walking on the snow. Get a feel for it.
"Okay." Mary nodded. She had focused so much that she didn''t notice William staring at her in the
distance.
"Okay, that''s great." The young coach continued encouraging her while he held her hand. "Don''t be
afraid. Come on, now try and make a circle."
When Mary tried turning slightly, she identally crossed the skis and almost fell face first in the
snow.
"Ah!"
"It''s okay. You''re alright. I got you, don''t worry." The young coach hugged her to keep her from
falling.
"Whew..." Just as Mary let out a sigh of relief, she heard a deep voice shouting her name.
"Mary!" William strode towards Mary. His face darkened and his eyes loomed as he looked at her
and the coach.
"William!" When Mary saw him, she didn''t notice how angry he was. She greeted him happily.
"Come here. This is the coach that Manager Sun sent. He''s really good..."
