Chapter 181 Quiet Mountains
Chapter 181 Quiet Mountains
Lin Ruowei has been working hard for several months. The crisis in the North American market has been initially controlled, but she still feels tired and anxious deep down. In order to completely relax herself, Gu Yan suggested that they temporarily leave the city and live in a mountain villa in the suburbs for a few days to enjoy a moment of tranquility.
"We haven't had a good rest for a while. Why don't we completely relax this time and put aside all the work for a while." Gu Yan suggested softly, his tone full of tenderness.
Lin Ruowei thought about it and nodded: "You are right, I do need to stop and take a breath. The mountain air should be able to help me adjust."
So, the two drove to the mountain villa. The scenery outside the car window gradually changed from high-rise buildings to rolling green hills and large forests. The fresh air and the environment away from the hustle and bustle made Lin Ruowei feel relaxed for the first time in a long time. The rustling sound of the wheels rolling over the gravel road seemed to take away the troubles in her heart.
After arriving at the villa, Lin Ruowei and Gu Yan walked into the spacious and bright living room. The sunlight outside the window sprinkled on the floor, revealing warmth. The villa was surrounded by lush trees, and occasionally the sound of gurgling streams could be heard in the distance.
"It's so beautiful here," Lin Ruowei took a deep breath and felt much calmer. "Leaving the hustle and bustle of the city, I suddenly feel like I've returned to the past."
Gu Yan walked to her side with a smile and put his arm around her shoulders: "The tranquility here is exactly what we need. Stop occasionally and relax yourself, so that you can go further."
Lin Ruowei nodded in agreement. The two decided to go for a walk in the nearby forest. After leaving the villa, the winding path led to a quiet place in the mountains. The shadows of the trees were swaying, and the sun cast mottled shadows through the branches and leaves. The dead leaves under their feet made a slight sound, accompanied by the occasional bird calls, and the whole world seemed to become quiet.
Along the way, Gu Yan gently held Lin Ruowei's hand and led her through the ups and downs of the path. The two walked and talked, talking about life outside of work, as if all the pressure was gone at this moment.
"Have you ever thought that we could spend more time here in the future?" Gu Yan suddenly asked, with a hint of yearning in his tone.
Lin Ruowei looked at the beautiful scenery around her and smiled, "Maybe when we are not so busy. Although I like the tranquility here, I know that my mission is not yet completed."
Gu Yan nodded and said with understanding: "Yes, you have been working hard for the family business and shouldering so many responsibilities. I admire your persistence and resilience, but I also hope that you can give yourself more time."
Lin Ruowei looked at him tenderly, her heart full of gratitude: "Thank you for always supporting me. I know I sometimes work too hard, but with you by my side, I can persevere."
The two were silent for a moment, walking quietly in the forest, enjoying this rare peaceful time. The sunlight shone through the treetops and onto them, as if the whole world had become softer.
After returning to the villa, Gu Yan personally cooked a sumptuous dinner for Lin Ruowei. The smell of food wafting from the kitchen made Lin Ruowei feel a long-lost family warmth. She sat quietly at the dining table, looking at the night outside the window, and a calm and soft emotion surged in her heart.
"This dinner is really great," Lin Ruowei said to Gu Yan with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness, "You are really a very special person. You always give me support and warmth when I need it most."
Gu Yan smiled and said, "It's all worth it to see you relax."
After dinner, the two of them came to the terrace, sat on soft chairs, and looked up at the stars in the night sky. The only sound around them was the sound of wind blowing through the leaves, which seemed particularly quiet.
"I haven't relaxed like this in a long time," Lin Ruowei said softly, with a hint of emotion in her eyes, "The pressure in the city always makes me unable to breathe, but now, I suddenly feel that I also need to stop and enjoy life."
Gu Yan gently held her hand and said softly, "No matter what you need, I will be by your side. Work is important, but the beauty of life is also worth enjoying."
Lin Ruowei turned to look at Gu Yan, feeling the affection in his eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart. She gently leaned on his shoulder, quietly looking at the night sky, her heart full of hope for the future.
"Maybe the future will be more balanced," Lin Ruowei said softly, as if she was talking to Gu Yan, or to herself, "I will find a way to find a balance between work and life so that I won't be so tense."
Gu Yan smiled and kissed her forehead gently: "I believe you will. You have always been a strong and smart woman. No matter how many challenges there are in the future, you will definitely find the path that suits you best."
