Chapter 269 Some Concerns
After a while, Vivian only thought of the point, “Uncle Mike has only been back for a short while, how come you guys know each other so well?”
After she finished her question, her sharp gaze looked unblinkingly at Yara, trying to detect a hint of difference on her face.
Yara, who was always easy-going, surprisingly had a blush on her cheeks that was not easily noticeable.
Vivian’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Something was wrong!
“What? In the last charity event, you dragged me to dance with Mike, and then we left each other contact information.”
Yara explained.
“Oh.”
Vivian remembered what had happened that day and nodded in response, so she didn’t say anything.
Just a deep gaze flicked over to Mike who was driving and fell into contemplation.
Although Vivian had not had much contact with Mike, and was natural and close to him when she was with him, and he was not as cold as Morris, somehow Vivian always felt that Mike was not simple.
In particular, even Morris had warned her.
The two men in the driver’s and passenger’s seats were talking and laughing and seemed to be getting along well, which made Vivian relieved.
Arrival at the Wansheng Ski Resort was over an hour later.
Wansheng Ski Resort was the largest resort-style ski resort in L City.
With snowboarding, an evening ice sculpture exhibition, shows and more, this was a great place to spend a winter holiday.
Because of the high altitude of the ski area and its location on the shady side of the mountain, it opened for skiing every year in November and did not close until the following March.
While ski sites require different slope ski runs, the owner of Wansheng Ski Resort would then convert the steep slope ski runs into paragliding sites in the summer, and the shorter ski runs were made for other projects to ensure that the sites were not vacant.
They got out of the car and looked at the Ski Resort which was doing a brisk business, Vivian felt as if she saw money and could not help but feel, “Business is really good, the boss must have made a fortune.”
“So many people are here, the business is good.” Yara followed suit with a sigh of relief.
“Business is indeed good, Morris is a good businessman.” With his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, he watched the groups of tourists heading towards the ski resort and was sincerely happy for Morris.
“Morris owns this place?”
Vivian was stunned, not realizing that the Wansheng Ski Resort was actually his.
“Let’s go inside.”
Issac suggested.
They nodded and together they entered the resort and walked towards the ticket window to buy their tickets.
“You guys wait here, I’ll go buy the tickets.” Issac spoke.
Vivian said at once, “It’s better to let Uncle Mike go.” She looked at Mike and pursed her lips, “You are Morris’ uncle, you can get a discount if you go. It’s better to get a 10% discount, buy a pass and we can play all the programs, what a good deal.”
The cost of investment in such places was enormous, plus the consumption of labour, utilities and maintenance, so the entrance fee must not be low.
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Yara agreed with Vivian’s opinion, “Mike, I also think it’s more appropriate for you to go.”
“Since so, I can’t refuse.”
The corners of his lips curved up with a touch of meekness, he gave a smile, turning towards the ticket window while calling Morris.
“Then I’ll go and buy milk tea for you two girls.” Issac didn’t hang around and walked over towards the window selling milk tea, standing in line.
Because of the overwhelming business, there were long queues at any of the sales windows and he had to wait for a while.
As the two stood in place, Vivian noticed that Yara had been staring at Mike.
Her eyes tinged with starlight.
“Ahem …”
Vivian cleared her throat and pulled the red scarf around her neck to shield her cheeks from the wind, asking Yara, “What do you think about Mike?”
“Huh?”
Yara first froze, withdrew her gaze, and replied Vivian’s words, ”Mike? I think he’s not bad, sexy, calm, yet very approachable. Especially with his short beard, he’s handsome and cool.”
“How do you think he compares to Anthony William?”
She gradually set Yara up.
Yara tilted her head, her gaze unblinking as she looked at Mike.
After a long hesitation, she replied cautiously, “Certainly more handsome than Anthony, much more handsome.”
“Ugh, I heard that the better looking, the more dangerous.” Vivian ‘lamented’.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
It was these words that made Yara understand something instantly.
Her eyes sank as she turned to meet Vivian’s worried eyes, “Are you trying to say that Mike is dangerours?”
“I’m not sure. But Morris has told me that, well …” Vivian lifted her chin slightly, indicating the direction where Mike was, “he’s not simple.”
“They are all businessmen, which businessman is not treacherous and cunning? Besides, a simple-minded person is not fit for business, is he?”
Yara snorted lightly, not taking Vivian’s words to heart at all.
Or rather, Vivian tried every possible way to persuade Yara, but she didn’t care in the slightest.
There was no point in talking too much, so Vivian could only stop.
“Do you know how to ski?” Vivian knew that both Mike and Issac could ski, so if Yara could too, wouldn’t she be the most embarrassed?
“Me? Of course I do.” Yara said with some smugness.
Vivian grimaced helplessly.
And then, after more than half an hour, they got the ticket and got into the security checkpoint.
As Vivian did not know how to ski, she ended up going to a piste suitable for newcomers.
Mike took Yara and Issac took Vivian.
Yara stood in front of Mike with her equipment, pouting, “Mike, I can only do a little, you must hold me well, otherwise if I fall and get disabled, you will have to support me for the rest of your life.”
Vivian on the sidelines: …
There was some vague concern.
“No problem.” Mike said as he helped Yara put on her ski pads.
“What are you looking at?”
Issac saw Vivian’s distractedness and was concerned.
“Nothing, I was just seeing how these things work.” Vivian found a random excuse to make a perfunctory statement.
“Come on, I’ll teach you.”
Issac was very gentle with her, as he always was, taking the knee pads and kneeling on one knee to help her put them on.
“No, no, I’ll do it myself.”
Vivian was not quite used to such ‘attentiveness’ from Issac, so she sat straight down in the snow, took her knee pads and buckled them on, and put on her skis, “Alright.”
Finished dressing, she stood up propped up on her sticks, but she could stand up straight, “Oops …”
She gave a startled cry and was about to fall, the next moment she was yanked into a warm embrace, held tightly by Issac, “Be careful.”
Vivian was uncomfortable to his gentleness, “It’s okay, it’s okay, I should be able to stand still.”
She pushed Issac away and braced her hand against the sticks, which barely made her stand still.
